[Q] I posted the ICECREAMSANDWICH video and now my phone is locked

What do I do now?

Please explain, locked?
Turn it off if you can. If it's being wiped yank the battery out.

Use adb to install cwr. Then boot back into recovery and make a nandroid backup. Then share it!

how would I know if it's being wiped?
I'm guessing it would be if Google found out abou it. Or if the phone was stolen.

If you can't do anything they are probably trying to. TRY TO TURN IT OFF!
After you turn it off (by any means necessary including yanking the battery), follow the tutorial for rooting you phone then make a nandroid backup of what you have using CWM then mount your phone via USB and upload the back up.
After making a back up you may be able to safely wipe your cache and data. It could provide you with a working phone and provide the rest of us with a nice treat!

ok, battery is out.
i'm guessing the lock will not interfere with rooting my phone?
even if i was able to root it, is my phone unuseable now because it's flagged or something?

Not necessarily, It probably is but I don't know how google's software works. If I had to guess you could probably get it working again by wiping data and cache.
Be sure to remove your sim card as well.

idk, never experienced it before. I just assume it's what happens when you lose a phone and then remotely secure it so it can't be accessed.

Google has the ability to force ota to your phone and remote wipe
OP, if your phone works on T-Mobile 3G (not edge) follow this guide up until this point
select Recovery
then it should boot into this screen, if not then repeat the steps to download the image
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
at this point instead of installing a rooted rom go to back up and restore then select Backup.
wait for it to finish then connect your phone to your computer via usb then go back to the main menu and select Mounts and Storage then select mount USB storage.
search for a folder called clockworkmod on your computer and make it into a zip file. If you're awesome then you could upload it to mediafire and post the link.
Next select unmount after copying to your pc then go back to the main menu. Select wipe data/factory reset then select wipe cache partition. The phone is now factory reset and COULD boot.

Either way, I appreciate the entertainment in my last hour of work...

Someone needs to get on IM with this Guy and walk him through the process of dumping the rom.
He should remove sim card and turn off wifi until its backed up.

hey OP. you need to get ahold of an experienced Android developer so he can walk you through with dumping the OS, etc.
also, post more videos/screenshots of the menus and what not.

[Q] My phone no longer has service!

This is on a rogers infuse, if that helps.
I was messing around with odin and tried to flash serendipity with it, but it didn't work. So I flashed it back to the rogers stock UXKG3.
Thing was, I didn't have any data. It got me worried, so I flashed the UXKG3 no bootloader version to see if that would work.. but it said it failed!
I rebooted the phone and it showed the exclamation arrow between a computer icon and the other icon.
So I decided to flash it back to the rogers stock UXKG3 once again, and I was able to wipe user data. The phone booted up fine but now I have no connectivity whatsoever. It says no service.
What do I do?
edit: I went onto the "mobile networks" option, and it says "please insert sim card."
I rebooted my phone, but it says the same thing. Is it just a sim card error?

Could be your SIM, but make sure a modem got flashed.

Check your APN settings too
Sent from my SENSATIONAL INFUSE !!!

Alright, so I flashed the rogers UXKG3 modem through Odin.. it failed! I still don't have service.

I tried to, but it says " please insert sim card to continue."
I know it's not a simcard problem, because I slipped it in my other phone and it works fine.

[Q] G2x stucked in the booting screen! (After installing CyanogenMod)

Hey guys - I'm sorry for my really bad english and i'm - almost - an android noob.
Until today i hadn't made any modification on my phone (not even rooting, just installing apps and launchers).
Today i tried to root it, and completely worked it out. After this i tried to install the CyanogenMod 7. It seemed like was gonna work, but when it was "rebooting", it stucked in the booting screen and i don't know what to do now
I already tried to do everything that is in this thread: How to unbrick your G2x from GB update through LG, but it didn't work.
The phone just back to the way it was before.

I had that same problem the first time I did used CM7. What I did was I went back into recovery, wiped everything. Format, wipe cache, and wipe Dalvik. Then did it all over again. It worked the second time. If it doesn't work, look for another rom and see if it works. If not, unroot and stay that way. Every phone, despite being made the same, doesn't function the same.

[Q] Impossible to flash bootloader/recovery/rom

Hi everyone !
Here I am in a really bad situation...
I bought a second hand phone with a rom issu and the guy who had it told me he ahd no time to waste trying to make it work again, I decided to buy it thinking that nothing could resist a factory reset via ADB.
But, and if I'm here today, it's because I'm in a such a situation, I need some help, and hope you guys can find a solution or at least some leads.
when I got it:
- model 16 GB D821
- The battery was not correctly attached in the phone (i did open it and put it back how it should be and seems to work)
- it is root, bootloader unlock, with Teamwin recovery version 2.6.3.2
- bootloader version HHZ11D
I can launch the teamwin recovery, it's asking for a password when it's starts, i don't know whay BUT I did a data format seeing that some people had some problem with it and did that to fix it
In Teamwin I got 0mb of storage and no OS installed, again it could be fixable via ADB
Now the best !
I can't flash anything on the phone. I can connect to it, it's well detected, I can control it (via ADB or Fastboot) and I can even had a temporary recovery with the nexus toolkit. but:
-Impossible to flash the bootloader, I do everything right, there is not "error" but at the end nothing changes, I'm back with the HHZ11D version and not the latest on I'm trying to get the HHZ11Z.
-Impossible to flash the recovery, same as the bootloader, version teamwin 2.6.3.2.
-impossible to flash a rom, and I don't have one anyway....
Here we are, I think I tried everything, but any clue would be appreciated. I hope I can fix this...
Thanks for your help.
And finally a picture of my fastboot -w when I do one, does it seem normal to you ?

Try in fastboot, fastboot oem lock. Then reboot and see if the bootloader is locked. I'm guessing it isn't and your emmc is bad.

No signal after installing CM13

Hey. I'm kinda new to the android software and custom roms. I seem to always have issues with custom roms. I try to follow tutorials, but it just works for them, when I get errors
This is not the first time installing a new rom, but signal never disappeared before.
It's not there even on stock rom.
