I really effed up my phone

Tried to root my HTC Inspire, did pretty good at that part. Then I installed a theme I found here (that said it was for my phone) and now can't get past the boot screen. I've done factory reset, data reset, cache reset, davlik reset.. everything.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
EDIT: and no i didnt have a backup

I had a similar problem after installing a theme. Different phone though. What worked for me: Removing battery for a few seconds, then go through the whole factory reset, cache partition, and Davlik cache wipe routine again.

Ok, I'll try that now. Thanks.

Still the same... I suppose I should just get a new phone

if you can still boot, there's still hope
do you have a custom recovery? if you do, you can transfer a custom rom to your phone and flash it

No I don't
I guess it was my fault for trying to do something I wasn't ready for.. I was just so tired of looking at the same damn skins.
I guess the problem was I installed the Lucid theme without CM7 (stupid I know, I deserve this).

post your question here:

no no.. don't give up hope. If you can still boot there is hope. Here's a link to what may hopefully set your phone straight. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970824

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Please bear with me i'm a noob.
I got my G2x with stock rom 2.2 Froyo and then rooted and flashed it without updating it to Gingerbread... I,ve tried CM7, Weapon, and now on Eaglesblood. None of them would let me use voice search without crashing..it will recognize what i say but as soon as i pick a selection from the list it force closes.. and some of the phone settings i try to access will also crash on me.
Is this because i've never updated my phone to GB before root/flash? Was i supposed to? I actually tried updating it with LG updater after root/flash (weapon at the time) and bricked it.. so im not going thru that again.
Thanks in advance!

Well for voice search... Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?
As for the rest of the phone, maybe a cache and dalvik cache wipe?

I'm not trying to patronize you, but you have stated that you are new to this, so I'm going to ask the following.
Between flashing new ROMs, did you:
Perform factory reset.
Wipe the dalvik cache.
Wipe cache.
Format /system.
This is not something you need to do everytime (Like when upgrading from one version of CM7 to the next), but is recommended (Especially going from the broad range of ROMs you went through).
If you haven't done the following, I recommend doing that first, then coming back should you still need to troubleshoot. MANY issues can be fixed simply by starting with a clean slate.

Yes, i have factory reset, wiped cache n dalvik, and formatted system between flashes. Im going to try reinstalling it now.

Voice search works on my 2.3.4 roms. They are not anything special, but lean, fast and stable.

So... I just tried reinstalling voice search to no avail. I uninstalled it first and then booted into recovery to wipe cache and dalvik. Now, what I noticed was that when I select wipe dalvik cache, it gives error log "E:unknown volum for path [/sd-ext]." but when I press Yes to confirm the wipe, it says "dalvik cache wiped." I'm not sure if it's really wiping dalvik or not... Well, I installed voice search again and it still force closed.

I will try out your rom!

People actually use voice search? I used to try but i always found it was faster to just type because it never knows what im saying.

The dalvik cache wipe is working, it will always say that unless you've wiped your SD card with CWM. Since there shouldn't be a need to, it's not a problem and shouldn't be a factor in your situation.

I would like to use it when I'm driving around.. and it's annoying to knowingly keep a feature of phone that won't work

It actually works amazingly well now. It is almost eery how accurate it is.

[Q] HELP flashing kernel PLEASE

I have just recently begun modding my G2x. I can install ROMs without any problems but I've since been interested in flashing a custom kernel. Information is sort of everywhere and what I do manage to find I am worried about it being out-of-date. Anyway, I flashed cm7.1 (the stable release) and it worked fine until it started fc-ing everything google related (something to do with sync?). I decided to try flashing kernels (wiping caches as instructed) and could never get one to work. I've since flashed the latest cm nightly (201 I think) and tried trinity with it. Still nothing. I've since read that I should let the phone sit for 10-20 minutes but after about 20 minutes it is just a black screen and nothing ever happens. It does get really hot however. Anyway I have tried flashing kernels multiple times and nothing has ever worked, same story every time. Any way somebody could tell me what I'm doing wrong? Tell me what's compatible (as maybe sorta stable) with the ROMs I'm using? HAHA and if it's not asking too much...maybe some links too? Sorry, just very new to this and very eager to learn. I just have a bit of trouble figuring out what's supposed to be compatible and where to find it. THANKS!

Start over fresh, wipe data x 2, wipe system x 2, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, flash cm7 nightly, dont reboot yet, wipe cache ONLY, wipe dalvik cache ONLY, flash kernel try faux123 (make sure kernel is for cm7) latest or morfic latest, reboot, enjoy ....
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

Thanks will give it a shot in the morning. Too much of a headache all day. Back in a useable state and I want to keep it that way for a bit haha. Will post results.

I still haven't tried to flash a new kernel... that is coming in a bit. I do have a question though... I'm interested in getting my phone in the cleanest state possible before doing anything further. I basically want my external sd cleaned up (I want to just reformat it) before flashing a rom again. What files/directories are absolutely essential to keep? As I said, I want to just wipe it clean but I'm not sure I can do that.

So just to be thorough I can safely remove the cwm directory as well? Just delete it all put my rom and kernel zips back and I'm good?

Make sure you flashed recovery through nvflash
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

Tried to just flash 0.4.7 and it did the same thing as before. Waited 20 minutes before taking out the battery then tried to boot it again. Waited 20 more minutes and all it ever did both times was get hot. Same results as before.

Mildwild 4.3 crashing frequently on HTC Desire

I recently installed MildWild 4.3 (the Oxygen version) on an HTC Desire. Ever since, apps that were running fine with the stock ROM are crashing very frequently (50% of the time or more). Also, twice now I've had the entire phone completely lock up while using the browser. Even after pulling the battery and starting it up again, still nothing - it would just hang on the white HTC screen. I had to boot into recovery and clear the cache (regular and Dalvik, although both might not have been necessary) to get it to work again.
Anyone have similar issues, or suggestions as to how I could fix this? Thank you!

Make that three full-on, phone completely choked crashes now, within a week. Clearing cache partition alone seems to have worked this time, so looks like Dalvik was unnecessary.
Any ideas as to what might be going on, and how I could fix it short of putting an entirely different ROM on there?
Thanks!

I think you just go fot another ROM
Do this steps before install: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik
Try that one and post then if phone works or not

I did do all those before trying this ROM, so I guess I will have to try another. *sigh* Don't have time right now, but hopefully I can limp by for a couple weeks.

Nexus S 4g Will Not Stop Rebooting

Hi,
I recently have flashed some new roms on my phone. So heres what happened... I had been using MIUI for months now for my NxS4g but the MIUI rom was just getting too laggy for me for daily use. So then I flashed Factory Rom. Worked good for a while then it started this rebooting randomly.. I Did Full Wipe, Format etc before flashing.. It seems fine while using it but once I turn the screen off and let it sit it just starts to randomly reboot. So I thought oh well its just the rom. Then I went back to MIUI and flashed the new Miui 2.10.26.2 which is a great running rom and I thought it fixed my problem because I spent an hour or 2 installing fresh new apps from the market, didnt restore anything or flash a custom kernel everything was stock and all fresh new apps. So I went to bed woke up at 6am like usual and noticed my phone had stopped responding... had to take the battery out and boot it up.. sometimes it does that and i have to pull the battery and sometimes it fully reboots. So now I am stumped ive tried everything i know. full format/wipes, fixing permissions, wiping dalvik and cache, and still not working! I hope my phone isnt dying or something. It was working fine. Please if anyone has a fix or knows what to do please help me! The only thing I haven't done is formatted my SD card which is what im about to try.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
What factory ROM?
Every ns4g responds to different kernels differently...maybe the newest version of that ROM u installed had a different kernel that sometimes causes many random reboots... so check that plz.
But u say udid a factory reset and stuff... did u wipe Dalvik and cache? Cuz that is important.
Good luck
