Ok had a Sidekick 4G rooted and custom rom installed and I sold it to a friend. Well they took it to a T-Mobile store and the guy factory reset it (for what reason idk) and she told me the phone would come back on.. I tried entering CWM recovery and was able to but the phone stays stuck on the boot screen everytime I try to reboot it and the only way to turn it off is to do a battery pull..
Can anyone help me fix this problem like asap please? Thanks for any and all help..

I was stock ROM, S-OFF and rooted...Clicked yes to install OTA when prompted..Phone reset and then that came up and its doing nada...
Am I screwed? What should I do?
Can I do a battery pull? Am I bricked?
I pray someone helps me and doesn't flame. I know there are some good people in here still.
I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.
You are not bricked you should be able to do a battery pull and boot up normally if that doesnt work since you are rooted get a tmobile 2.3.3 ruu and runn that..
I believe your mistake was doing the OTA WHILE being rooted. Good news is, is that most people here tried the same as you and all are fine now.
A beer would be nice, huh?
Matt
Thanks!
Doing battery pull now. Will update If any more problems.
It's not root that kills the process, it's the custom recovery.
I assume you have CWM Recovery?
You need the stock recovery to make the OTA work, hence you have to use the RUU to get it back. Instructions are here:

After that, you can re-gain root by reading here:

Thats odd that you seem to already have the modaco recovery running because of the little man in the background so my question is if you are already in modaco recovery why are you trying to reflash over it?
I'm trying to install a different ROM. That's the same screen I get everytime I enter the recovery mode and I don't know why :-( Any ideas???
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
You are sure its a full rom and not a update?
Also are you using install zip using sd card and not apply update ?
Your screen says installing update.. from what I see it looks one ofthose two things

I got that once. Just turn it off and boot back into recovery. The little man is normal.

I tried installing a full rom and nothing. Now I can't even get into recovery mode anymore. Should I just factory reset my phone and then just re-root and start that whole process over again??? Cause I'm at my wits end:-(

Interesting, I have never seen that but thats not really saying much. when you tried to flash in odin was your battery placed back into phone after going into download mode? can you give any more details as to what you have tried? That way ppl could give you better ideas as to fix.
Just make sure you're battery is in and you'll be fine. If it isn't working then let us know where the flash is getting stuck at.

If you haven't seen this, you aren't playing with your phone enough. Use a stock file, a PIT, and PSTLite

I saw this when I first flashed CWM after taking the GB OTA.
What worked for me was to use another USB port on my PC. After the drivers installed, I was able to successfully flash CWM with Odin.
