So, I successfully rooted my GX2 (p999), and I successfully installed Clockworkmod Recovery, and followed the steps to install EaglesBlood. Everything went ok until I actually tried to turn on my phone.
It WILL turn on, and it will start to boot up Eaglesblood, but then the screen goes black for about 3 seconds, then the Eaglesblood logo shows for about 5 seconds, then it blacks out for 3 seconds, then shows the logo for 5 seconds, etc etc etc, for as long as there's battery to do so.
I tried going into the boot recovery to reinstall, but I think the Eaglesblood installation removed Clockworkmod recovery? It will show the recovery loading bar, then reboot the phone (instead of showing the recovery menu).
Is there a way that I can connect my phone to my PC without being able to boot up? Have I bricked my phone?
I know other phones have a downloading mode. Does the GX2 have that, and if so is there a fix with it?
The G2x is pretty much unbrickable to an extent... When you rooted the phone did you use a one click method or nv flashed cwm?

Last week I rooted a friends phone and flashed ginger clone on it and the red cwm. Everything worked fine at the time.
Today the screen kept freezing and the screen going black. I had to reboot the phone at least 10 times just to get into the OS and boot into recovery.
Once I got into recovery I wiped data, cache and dalvik. Then restored the factory backup (which I verified worked after making it last week) now the phone can't get passed the initial sidekick boot screen. It sits at the screen and vibrates every few seconds.
Is there any luck for this thing?

Disregard.. after doing a little reading on the forum I was able to get the phone into download mode and i'm downloading the stock odin files now.
I was curious if anybody could help me. I have a g2x from Wind (p-999dw). I am pretty new to rooting and such but wanted to update my phone. I got it rooted successfully and then tried installing the CM7 Rom update. Backed up with cwm first and then continued. Now my phone is pretty f'd. Every time i try to turn it on it just hangs on the LG screen. I tried the flash recovery method with nv flash and was able to get a cwm recovery menu up but when i try loading the previous working setup, it says successful, i restart the phone and now i get the LG logo with the blue status bar below (which wasn't there before I used the flashing tool) it which moves for a few seconds, then freezes. I've tried every option in the menu and i still cant get past the LG logo screen. Can anybody help me? I've spent hours trying and can't seem find a way to fix it. Don't care if i lose all my data and apps just want my phone to work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I believe you need to remove the battery then try to boot into recovery (hold volume down and power)

Need to pull battery let sit for a couple seconds reinsert battery. Hold volume rocker down and power until you see the second LG screen should have some blue and purple surrounding the LG logo. After that select wipe data factory reset, then go to mounts and storage and select wipe cache/data/system. If you want do each one twice. Then you can go through the process to flash cm7, don't forget to flash gapps (google apps) as well. If you don't flash those you won't be able to sync your phone with Google and retrieve your contacts and such... hope this helps.

If none of the above works, rom for recovery will definetly fix your problem. Check the development thread it's in there.

hello,
I tried flashing an ICS ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket (i727 AT&T) using Odin.
It was stuck at recovery.img. I unplugged my phone after a while, and then it wouldn't turn on. I would hold the power button, and then the Samsung logo would appear for a second, screen would go black for a second or two, and then the Samsung logo would come on again for about a second. Then the screen goes black.
I got into recovery mode, and wiped my data 3 times. I also wiped the cache. Then I tried rebooting the system, but the phone wouldn't turn on.
I took out the battery several times, and even tried turning the phone on with a different battery, once again to no avail.
Now I'm trying to flash the ROM on again, but it's stuck at recovery.img again.
PLEASE HELP. How do I get my phone back to normal/successfully get the ICS ROM on it?
I'm a noob at this.

Install this rom and you should be able to boot
Breaking News: ICS for Skyrocket Leaks, We've Got The Link (AT&T)
XblackdemonX,
That's the exact ROM I tried to flash. It's stuck at recovery.img. I unplugged and my phone wont boot.
However, that link mentions Heimdall files, what are those?

Hi,
So my SGS2 Skyrocket is stuck in a boot loop. I've have the Sky Icecream Sandwich ROM installed for a few months now, and haven't changed anything recently.
What is happening is my phone with vibrate every 2-3 seconds with a blank screen. When I take out the battery/power source, and put it back in, the phone shows the Samsung splash (not the Android splash) for a few seconds, then goes blank and does the vibrating again.
I've tried plugging it into the computer, but the power it gets from USB turns it on and into the boot loop, so I can't get it into any kind of recovery mode. I also tried the Vol+Home+Power key combo, with nothing.
Any idea what could cause this/what the course of action should be? Thanks!
Turn phone on and wait 2 hours. If it wont work do what you use to do when you booting recovery mode. (home screen i guess). But hold it longer.
Good luck
nathan-96, do you have any idea what caused this? Because what's concerning me is that it's not getting past the Samsung icon (before android starts actually booting).
When you say turn it on, do you mean just put in the battery? Because the loop starts right when I put the battery in, it doesn't wait for me to press anything.
No, I meant turning it on. Hold centre button and put battery in. Just hold it for a moment. Hopefully you will reach recovery.

Can you access download mode instead of recovery? If so you could try re flashing something with Odin...
Definitely try getting the battery out for a few minutes and boot the phone while maintaining the combination to enter recovery

Hi ,
I´am playing with my Skyrocket to run the Cyanogenmod 10 and always I got stuck at Boot Loop .
This is what I have and did :
- Running AT&T Stock ICS 4.0.4 UCFL6 rooted ( I have a back up of this)
- CWM 6.0.1
- Cyanogenmod 10 Nightly Dec 07 , but I also tried with Cyanogenmod 10 Stable
- Gapps
- Factory Reset / wipe cache
- Wipe dalvik
- Mount/storage format system
- install using CWM Cyanogenmod
- install using CWM gapps
- Mount/ storage format cache
- reboot
I also tried to wipe twice as other threads say.
So I´am still with the boot loop
I returned my backup to the ICS ...
Thanks in advance !!!
Skyrocket Bootloop
Whats happening is the power button acts as if its being pressed. Thats why you have the bootloop and the phone turns on as soon as you put the battery in.
Try repeating pressing the power button or hold the power button without the battery for a few seconds. :fingers-crossed:
I have the nexus s 4g flashed to boost mobile. it has ran great for over a year now. i have flashed many roms and kernals to it and it has worked like a charm with only the occational hickup. but a few weeks ago when i would power it down and change may battery it would start to get stuck on the google screen. i could pull the battery a few times and it would eventually take off and work fine for a few day and then do it again. this last time it done it i cant get it to go past the google screen for nothing. i can get into the fast boot mode and also into clockworkmod touch recovery but when i go into flash zip from sd it say error loading sd, when i plug it into my computer it conects when in fastboot but i cannot access my sd memory at all. i tried the pdanet but it wont work due to no access to the sd. i downloaded the program wugs nexus tool kit and tried to flash stock and unroot with option bootloop / soft-brick in my boot loader. the program seems like it is working, it takes control of my phone restarts bootloader a few times then says restarting your now stock phone, but my phone just sits in bootloader. i have tried to manually reboot system and it just goes to the google screen and stops. when i power on my phone the google logo comes up, flashes away for a split second then pops back up with the leds at the bottom of my phone on this time but thats all i can get. please help i dont know what to try next. let me know if any of you have had this problem before and what you did to get it fixed. Please help i miss my Nexus...
** UPDATE *** Well i havnt really given up on my Nexus but i gave in and bought a new Galaxy S II so i could have a working smart phone again. Ill still be working on the Nexus in my spare time so ill update if i have any luck.
