hey all, was hoping someone would be able to help me out, since im still pretty new at all this.
i've had my phone for about 2 months, been rooted since the first week, and have flashed roms before with no problem, this is the first time something like this has happened.
im currently running eternity r186, have been for awhile.
ok, so heres what i did: i downloaded liquid-nonsense 3.2 rom from over at rootzwiki and copied the zip to my SD (this is the rom i was planning to flash)
i made a nandroid of my current rom
i booted into recovery using rom manager (reboot into recovery)
i wiped data and cache, everything went as normal
i went to wipe davlik, hit yes for wipe, and the screen went black and vibrated. then it rebooted to the white htc screen. now it's stuck between the white htc screen that says "quietly brilliant" and the beats audio screen (if you've booted up eternity before you know what i mean)
ive tried holding down power and the vol keys to reboot into recovery but it just takes me back to the bootloop
ive tried a battery pull
i really have no idea wtf to do, please help?
thanks
edit: i figured it out i think. i got into hboot after a battery pull and got into recovery that way, restoring nandroid now. hopefully it restores
but...that was kinda scary for a new flasher such as myself! anyone have any idea why it did that?
Good to hear you got it figured out. Liquid 3.2 is my Fav AOSP.
Since the forums move slower at night next time you have a big problem try and hop on to one of the IRC chats.
No idea why it would do that. Do you have the most recent CWR? If not try and update it. If you do then try and roll back a version unless the rom you're flashing needs the most current version.

thanks for the reply.
im running the latest version of CWR
after i restored my nandroid I wiped everything as normal and flashes the rom.
i gotta say, i'm really digging this ROM. Barring any major bugs I could see this becoming my daily!

n00b question, I guess. I came to the Inspire from a borrowed Cliq. I've rooted and flashed GB 2.3.4 successfully, but I hit a bump tonight.
I found other threads about the white screen when doing a Nandroid backup, but my situation didn't really fit.
I've had my Inspire for a month and have created two Nandroid backups - one when I rooted and one when I flashed Gingerbeast. Both times everything was fine.
I want to modify by APN settings (via henrybravo's thread), so earlier tonight I started to backup through ROM Manager. The phone shut down and came back up to the HTC screen... and stayed there. No Clockwork recovery.
I found the Guide to fix softbricking and pulled the battery. I let it sit for a minute and booted it back up normally. It came up fine. Everything was intact.
Was there something else I should have done? Should I flash Clockwork 3.0.2.6? I'm using 3.0.2.5 right now.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!
You should update cwr. In my experiences rom manager would always act a little funky. On several ocassions I would get a soft brick when flashing roms. So I do my flashing and nandroid straight from cwr and all my issues were gone.
You should try doing the nandroid from cwr and see if that helps you

GOT IT FIXED
Thanks to fabricatedhero for the brain pulse to try and just root it!
First this isnt my G2X, I am trying to help a co-worker. She isnt Tech-savy by any means... lol... any way here is her story:
She got the OTA pop-up and thought it was a virus (yeah shes that smart) then she said she accepted the update as it kept asking. She started the update and it took hours over night and it never finished she said so she pulled the battery durring the s/w update screen. Then it started the boot loop.
Now my story:
The G2x is bone-stock
I did the NVflash successfully... Flashed the stock recovery via:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 ... Still have the boot loop issue and wont boot into recovery. I searched and even Googled and everything is the same, and of which nothign is working for me.
I tried to maybe catch something from the boop loop and also from the S/W update screen... NOTHING... Clearly this is software issue; The only thing I have yet to confirm is if I place the stock update on sd card and see if itll pick that up.
The issue I see there is I cant google for the life of me what the "special" name of the update would be called. Nor do I have a clue what to really call it. I know for most phones its NOT "update.zip" more like "espring13" or somethign like that...
Can any Jedi MAster help me? Thanks!
ok found the file name:
LG-P999-V10f.zip
Still boot-looping and that didnt work...

Use. The nvflasher to put Cwm on it and go under restore and re-format sd, cache, and etc
Then go and do gummans froyo 2.2 stock rooted rom
Also there's a post about how to do the GB update on here as well.

Did you try a simple factory reset? If you still have stock recovery and rom try holding volume up + power until the reset process begins.
G2X CM7
So I will have to root the device? I guess that makes sense...
Keep in mind I cant get into stock recovery period...
cwm worked! wipped everything, still nothing, gonna flash a new rom
update:
ok SDcard doesnt show have to mount internal storage to apply update... *crosses fingers*
**worked running newest nightly of CM7 with CWM recovery
edit: Solved, just flash one .zip at a time. So flash AOSP lockscreen.zip then reboot, go back into CWM and flash the next one. Thanks anoninja118!
Hoping someone can help, I flashed the Sens3 theme on Eclipse(I know it's for GC, I didn't care lol) and it was pretty buggy so I immediately rebooted into CWM and flashed eclipse131/aosp/screencapture/Vrecorderfix and rebooted. When it finally booted up I noticed the lockscreen was still the puzzle, I thought that was weird so I tried taking a screenshot(back+home) and it wouldn't work. I rebooted and reflashed the .zips(excluding eclipse131 this time) then rebooted and again, none of them were active. So I went back into recovery and reflashed Eclipse131 then let it fully reboot so it could convert and ****, then I went back into recovery again and tried flashing the .zips, still nothing. Last thing I tried was clearing cache/dalvik and reflashing but alas, to no prevail.
Any help would be appreciated, I have everything backed up in Titanium so it's no big deal to lose my apps but I don't want to redo my 7 home screens lol.

when I ran eclipse for a while I had kinda the same problem... I found out to get them to work each zip needs its own flash session in CWM i.e. flash AOSP lockscreen or whatever then boot up phone, boot into CWM and flash next .zip and repeat
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G

np lol I've tried out all the roms at least once so I've had most of the problems people post and I try to solve it and pass on the info
I have been rooted for a couple of months now, and I was tired of dealing with the auto-update keep taking control of my phone.
So tonight I decided to instadd das BAMF rom and the MR2 radio... long story short, I could never get the radio to install so through hboot, i selected recovery to recover the stock ROM, I wiped the data and cache prior to recovering, then rebooted.
Now it is stuck at the htc boot screen.
I need help pretty soon guys, if anyone reads this soon, i have to be at work in 5 hours!
Thanks

If you flashed the radio last, it might had wiped the phone, meaning you need ot flash a ROM afterwards, or the phone is bricked, from something you did. I don't know much about the TB, but you should ask in its dedicated sub-forum instead, you'll get much better results there.
thanks, I wish I could but I have less that 10 posts... i dont understand it, i can access h-boot and i can do anything in there like everything is fine, but the phone will not reboot or restart

Then it's not bricked, most call it soft "brick" since it doesn't boot. You should wipe in clockwork, and then flash another ROM.
I have tried to recover my stock rom 4 times, but i just found a stock debloated version of the stock rom, so im going to try and flash it.
OK,
So was running ExtremeSensation™Series|ICS|Dream™3|Prime™5 and really liked it. And it comes with a app called JRummie Tools (I think thats it atleast).
And this app allows you to change splash screen, boot logo, font, system colors, etc. And I went ahead and bought the PRO version to support the dev . Tinkered with it, and it all went well. So last night I went back into it and picked all new everything, but this time I didnt restart after each mod, I waited until all were done, then rebooted. I also saw a feature to change the read/write speed of the SD card, and it suggested 1024kb, so I did that, rebooted, low and behold, Ive screwed something up lol! It reboots after the splash screen now, Ive tried doing a full wipe including dalvik cache, and re installing other ROMS. But it always gets to the splash screen, freezes and reboots.
I'm not exactly a genius when it comes to all this, but I know enough that I've been rooting my adroid devices for a few years now. All in all I'm just hoping someone smarter than me can help me out. When I google the issue, I merely get "Wipe and Reflash" over and over.
Thanks for any help!

First of All Make Sure U Have Latest Firmware.
2nd if u have that than
Use superWipe Scrpit After Using that
Than Flash the Rom
U wll B 100% Fine
for Reference Try Incertcoin Roms u Wll Love it
Thank you
Thank you, I know my firmware is good, but will double check. So the superwipe script is actually deeper than 4ext's wipe all except sd? Will try this when I get home though!
Also are you referring to the superwipe from the revolution rom?
