[Q] stuck on splash screen, please help!

im new at this please bear with me.
i rooted my shift last week. everything was fine, im not ready to get too crazy into flashing stuff yet (since the risk for bricking is higher with android). i like to take my time read, study, test small things here and there.
today i was browsing the forums and came across the battery icon mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892297
so i downloaded it, i had rom manager installed, and installed the battery icon manager.
i chose the icon i wanted rebooted, it looked ok, so i wanted to try the other icon and loaded that one, phone rebooted and got stuck on the sprint splash screen.
i can boot into the bootloader, not sure what steps i need to take next to restore my os.

once you're in bootloader, select recovery, then backup restore. Then restore. Then restore your backup that we're all sure you made before you made those mods right? RIIIIIGHT?????

You have to get to boot loader to get to recovery to wipe and flash your rom... (hold vol down and press power) in case you didn't know..you should being that its rooted..I dunno

hahaha, why would i create a backup!? that would make sense. i have not created a back up. i had not gotten around to doing it yet. it was on my list of things to do.

Boot in to CWM Recovery go to backup/restore /advanced restore, select restore /system only. Once that is complete clear the cache, reboot. you can then delete your dalvik cache (note: clearing the dalvik cache doesn't work via CWM currently). That's it.

If you didn't make a back up, just re flash the rom. If you were still stock, just flash preludedrew's or nfinitefx's base. You can even still keep your data. Just make sure from now on to back up before doing any mods.

[Q] Endless Boot Loop after installing SERVICES.JAR to remove data throttling

Hi all,
I'm having an issue and hope someone can point me to the right direction (thanks).
I followed the all the steps from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052064) and after the rom manager asked me to reboot my phone and it went into the endless boot looping. The LG screen show up for around 15 seconds and went back to do the same thing over and over again.
Here are what I've tried so far.
1. Remove the battery to turn back on and issue still persist
2. Tried using the Power button + Volumn down to boot into recovery mode. What it did here was the screen shows the android guy jumping out of the box for around 20 seconds and the screen turn off, then the LG login screen comes back doing it things again.
I have very limited knowledge on android base so I'm not sure what else to try to get my phone back to life again.
I had a post on that thread to ask some other people in there but they seem to ignore my post so if anyone here could help me please, I would appreciate it.

Did you nvflash recovery? If so reflash the stock rooted rom (or any other you want). If you didn't nvflash the recovery you going to have to now to fix the situation..

Hi Squish099,
Thanks for looking into my issue.
I've never done nvFlash recovery before, so according to your response, you said
"If you didn't nvflash the recovery you going to have to now to fix the situation.."
How do I have going to fix the situation? Sorry for my stupid question.
If you could, can you please provide me some basic steps/direction? Like I said, I have very limited knowledge on how android work so if you could, I would really appreciate.

you can try this

not sure if you can do this if the phone is already messes up.
But before you do things you need to read. you could of saved yourself a lot of heartache because the throttleing thing doesnt work at all anyways. and there are a couple threads here already that state that.
I searched and thats the best i found for ya. hopefully someone is more informed with your situation and can help but in the mean time read through that and see if you find anything helpful.

Unfortunately, I don't think he can do that if he can't boot into recovery at all.
@justin
I had the same problem with my old G2, I couldn't boot into recovery and ended up getting a new phone because no one knew what to do to fix it. Since you didn't use Nvflasher to flash clockworkmod recovery, you can't boot into recovery manually, you have to use the ROM manager app to boot into recovery.
I'm not sure what you can do to fix it honestly, I spent days searching for answers

Oops, damn your right ^. I misunderstood the wikipedia page =/

Yes, I spent couple hours already searching for resolution but can't find definite answer. I'm sure someone else out there having the same issue but was able to fix the issue.
I don't think people can easily throw away a good phone like this. Hope there is a resolution for this very soon

My new theory:
Noob + endless bootloop + no recovery = brick
I'm sorry to say but methinks thou art ****ed. Hopefully you have assurion and can just claim you lost it. Well actually I hope you fix it but .. well you know what I'm gonna say. Gl hope it works out for ya....

[Q] I'm a total noob, please help.

Hey, guys, I feel very inadequate in here so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to Skype with me on how to root, flash, etc. on my phone. I ask for Skype because I truly know next to nothing in regards to this process. I vaguely understand what rooting does but I have never done any of it.
I have been patient with my g2x and am still on my original one(hoping that LG or TMO would do what was right by it's customers) but after the recent news that they "might" start doing internal testing after having pulled our legs with this whole "by summer" nonsense, I have decided to try to correct their mistakes for now.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

check out theunlockr.com....if you cant do it that way id suggest you dont try it

Rooting and flashing so easy even a http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9Dognr3BII&feature=related can do it.

Really its a piece of cake this is my second device I've rooted.. I did my old mt3g slide (it was a little bit harder especially being a n00b) but yea just follow guides to the T as much as possible. Even at worse case scenario you should able to revert to exchange and stuff if you have a warranty and whatnot. Have faith and go balls out you wont regret it!! I'm hooked on rooting/flashing.

Are you volunteering help?

Yep, you've totally scared yourself. Don't worry, I did it with my G1. Read, read, read. Then use the one click great app to root your phone then use TGA's thread to put CWM recovery on it.
If you're gonna do this stuff you gotta trust that you know what you're doing (unless there's something you really don't understand). Else you'll never do it.
And I don't think I've seen a thread about a really bricked phone. So relax and use the source young Skywalker.

Easy, download AmonRA recovery and follow youtube video directions. pretty much, download amonra, put on sd card, insert sd card, Power down, then press powerbutton+volume down, brings you to hboot menu....then you look for hboot usb, press volume down, then youre rooted.

First 2 times in rootet, i did it with this htc legend, took a few hours and yet didn't work, but afterwards in went to theunlocker guide and piece of cake it was, i even have to tell im running @ 806 mhz stable, even if found the biggest stable clock on legend to 768 mhz good luck

This is probably my first or second post here on XDA but ivr been a member for the last 6 months.. big thanks goes out to all the devs and everyone associated with XDA that helped me learn about this awesome hobby. Anywho i have a problem thats probably easily solved but i cannot figure out what to do. So bear with me this may be a noob question, My device is acting strange, i recently flashed the coredroid ROM and when i reboot i get my splash screen and then a blank screen... i wiped the dalvik cache and wiped everything else prior to flashing so im not sure it could be that, and i cant go into hboot to get back to recovery that way cause i have a radio.zip on the SD card and whenever i go into hboot it just asks me if i want to update by pressing up or dont update by pressing down, then after i choose ither one it wants to reboot...all i need to do is get back into recovery but at this point i dont know how. Can somebody please help me? Ive never had this problem before so im stumped!!! Thanks in advanced for all whom give me insight and point me in the right direction

Get a card reader take the PGIMG off of your SD. Redownload your ROM put it on your SD reflash.

Please please please please please please please pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee search for your answers. If you're gonna call it a noob question, chances are the answer is out there.
There are couple things you can do. One would be to get an SDcard reader and just delete the PD98IMG.zip off your sdcard. You can also just take out the sdcard and boot into HBOOT.(I think this should work, I remember seeing this as another option to getting a card reader) Once it does its thing you can then put the SDcard back in and boot to recover
Moving forward, always delete PD98IMG.zips off your sdcard immediately after you use them or just create a folder on your sdcard for radios or other PD98IMG.zips you want to always have on you. Remember to always clear wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing. First boots may also take some time especially after full wipes.

thats one thing i was thinking about doing, but as of now im broke till friday and i dont have a card reader :/ do you think there may be any other way of going about fixing this???? or is that pretty much my only option? Thanks for the input!

OP stated he full wiped. My honest guess regardless of the previous ROM since he claims a full wipe was probably a bad flash or a bad download. It happens from time to time.

If you don't run a MD5 (or SHA1 as appropriate) sum, you're borrowing against trouble.
I always calculate the sum when I download, and then again after copying it to my SDcard.

meh, I haven't checked a md5 number for ROM download in quite some time and haven't had any issues...when it comes to radios, well that's a different story. It's good practice to do it for all downloads but with ROMs for me I don't usually check it. I think I've had one problem in the last 4 months due to a bad download.

att one x wont let me flash rom..

Ok guys, so Ive rooted using the 1.85 method and unlocked my bootloader using the spoof cid and htcdev.com method. TWRP 2.2 installed, and thats about it.. downloaded CleanROM4.5, on PC moved to phone and rebooted into recovery, went to install and just comes up " Failed".. Tried twice and nothing. Got freaked out and even went and accpeted the OTA 2.2 att update, once I hit install it just reboots into TWRP and Thats it, from there i can reboot and what not and the phone functions fine a well, it just wont flash anything.. I guess maybe Im missing something..? Im not a complete noob, you could say i am a flashaholic with my HTC Inspire 4g so i dunno whats going on here. any help is appreciated..
recap
phone is currently rooted stock 1.85
Bootloader unlocked
S-on
wont let me flash, i dont get it...

If you downloaded from chrome that could be your problem, it messes up the ROMs. Happened to me as well..lol Try firefox, it works perfect

sinco54 did you :
Copy ROM to storage
Reboot to Recovery
Recommend wiping data / Factory Reset in Recovery!
Install ROM and Aroma installer will start.
Choose Standard or Lite Edition
Let install complete
Reboot to System
Profit!
I copied that from the first post of : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1655011
Before I wiped anything I made a backup of my 1.85 setup.
Not trying to incite you but I'm on my first android phone and it worked perfectly for me last week.
I used chromium on my pc to download the zip then transfer it to the phone, are you and SkookDroid talking about downloading the zip directly to the 1X? That would be weird if that was why it didn't work.
I tried the CM10 8/9 alpha today and had to change back to cleanrom 4.5 because the call quality was messed up. First I wiped cache and davlik cache with TWRP then restored my 1.85 backup. It said everything was ok but on restart it hung on the white 1X screen until 5min later I restarted and the restore finally took.
Good Luck with it.

The install instantly fails due to a bad download, thats why I said to use a different browser to download the ROM from the pc then move it to the phone and flash it lol

yuup, back up done, wiped dalvik and cache, fatory reset blahblahblahblah.. instantly fails.. Im downloading via mozilla right now but, gonna give that a while once that finishes up and see what happens.. and thats why im confused, it should work JUST FINE cause ive done this 8 million times but ive gotta be missing something obviously cause it should work.. the funy part is that the phone wont even let the OTA 2.2 from att install, it just goes directly to twrp and thats it.. thats where i get lost, i cant flash from twrp and the OTA will just boot directly into twrp so its like ive missed something somewhere.. Ill update here in a few minutes once i try again with a new download via mozilla.. thanks guys and sit tight..

No. Instead, people blame browsers for not completing downloads. It takes 15 seconds at the most to check MD5 sum and it can save hours of headache.

I was giving my opinion because chrome has given me problems before. Sorry we cant all be super devs like you, oh wait...

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic It's just that coming from the aria forum it was almost like written in stone (attn1) always check md5 before flashing anything. It's just a really easy way to make sure your not about to flash something that could potentially Bork your phone.

And your opinion is wrong. Browser has nothing to do incomplete downloads.

Depends on the devs. Some forums make things very noob friendly (like the HOX). Very convenient and nice of the devs, but when people don't even know what fastboot and ADB is, it causes a lot of grief for the devs. Just look at what happened with the scandal that almost deterred Scott from producing HOX roms. It's fine being new to the scene, but there are too many people who don't even care enough to read instructions.

Even some of the ROM developers themselves said the same thing about chrome, but since your the smartest guy around and no ones opinion matters but yours they're wrong too right? I've been here for a month, youve been here for two years. Im new to the scene and still learning, its people like you that deter newcomers from asking questions and participating in this site. Im not here to argue with you, im here to try to help out fellow users(WHICH I DID) so have a good day, sir.

yeah my bad entirely, i had assumed that because i was downloading from scott directly and not like media share or some mirror download that the md5 needed to be checked. but that still doesnt explain why 2 downloads via chrome were not good and 1 download via firefox is ok.. i dont know, but its interesting to me.. I didnt claim to be mr know it all, nor do i think i am at this stuff but your shamless sarcastic stab wether to be taken like that or not sounds like it..
I do understand this site has grown exponentially and many of the original guys are just disgusted with newbs like myself but ill tell you i do appreciate all the help ive been able to search for over the last 3-4 years as a lurker and finally registered a few months back.. I hate internet forums for this exact reason.. wether skookie was correct or incorrect he helped me and he deserves an 8 ball of the finest coke and 2 hookers for it. cheers!!

I want you to know that I try to help everyone I can and even have taken **** from some other members for not letting some members with redundant questions figure somethings on there own. As far as the downloads go I'm nit going to take sides because I've seen people report the same thing that one browser works while another doesn't. But my point still is what ever your using to download or where its being downloaded from there is always a chance that it can get corrupted or be incomplete so a quick md5 check just ensures a safe flash.
