[Q] I am Bricked....i think

Ok, So i rooted my T-mobile G2x 2.3.3 and there were difficulties when i flashed the Cyanogen 7mod. The Rom worked but the only default was i didnt get data. Like i couldnt even get Edge. The only way to use internet and stuff was through wifi. SO then i reflashed it thinking it was a bad flash. But when i reflash through rom manager it gives me the option to downoad with google apps. so i clicked that option. It downloaded fine but on the reboot it stayed stuck on the 2nd LG screen. Am i bricked or if anyone can help id appreciate it alot.

U can't do it via rom manager. U have to flash recovery using nv flash, then u can try to flash custom rom. Remeber to wipe data and format system before flashing any rom.
U r not bricked yet
Check here to nv flash the cwm

Did you flash CWM via NV Flash. If not, do that. Then boot into recovery by holding down the power + volume down keys until you get the second boot logo. Then wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache. That is usually why a phone refuses to boot.
Also, if your phone turns on it is not bricked. Bricked means when you press the power button nothing happens at all. You can be soft-bricked like you are, but it can be easily fixed. Nothing to panic about.

I did all of that im sorry if i gave you info wrong. Like i cant do anything it turns on but goes to the first LG screen then goes to the new LG screen with the blue streaks and it stays there. Then when i try to go into CWR it shows the LG with a blue and black loading bar below then shows as if its loading something then it just goes back to the blue LG screen and im stuck there.

You have stock recovery on the recovery partition, not CWM. You MUST flash CWM onto the physical recovery partition using NVFlash with the One Click flasher. You used Rom Manager and that doesn't install CWM onto the recovery partition. Once you have CWM properly installed you can enter recovery and revive your phone.

@OP, this is is correct. Use tga gunmann's nvflash tool from the development section. The process is super easy. Just make sure to follow his instructions closely. Just fyi, most people get errors during the nvflash process because they don't install the apx drivers appropriately, so take your time and read the instructions carefully.

Start off by wiping cache and then go to Advanced and wipe dalvik cache. If you still can't boot after that then try a full factory reset.
Just remember the first boot after wiping dalvik cache can take several minutes as android rebuilds the dalvik cache. All subsequent reboots will be MUCH faster.

Did you do as phburks said and go into advanced and wipe the Dalvik Cache. Most issues of not booting are related to the Dalvik Cache not being wiped after flashing a new rom. That is essential to getting your phone to boot again. A factory reset DOES NOT clear the Dalvik Cache.

Boot back into cwm, go to Mounts and Storage, format /system and then reflash your rom.

Could be a bad download. I'd try downloading again. Use your computer to download again and save it to your microsd card. Then reinsert the sdcard, boot back into cwm and try again.

The reason I ask is that with cm7 you have to flash 2 separate zip files. First you flash the actual cm7 zip which installs the rom and then you flash the gapps zip which installs the Google apps (market, gmail, etc). Make sure you have both on your sdcard and then flash the rom first and gapps second.

Im glad you brought that up because when i first flashed Cyanogen i did also flash gapps but after i flashed gapps thats when i wouldnt get data. Do you know the reason for this? or was it could have been another bad flash?

Not sure. I'd just play it safe, re-download both, wipe data, and reflash both. Sometimes its hard to determine which step went wrong and its best and quicker to just start with a clean slate and redo everything.

I wont be able to post for a while so good luck.

Format system
Format data
Format cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Wipe data/factory reset
Then flash my ROMS

You did install clockworkmod recovery, right? If so, just yank the battery then put it back in. Hold the volume down button and power at the same time, you'll enter the bootloader (make sure not to have the phone plugged in while doing this or it won't work). Press volume down till you highlight Recovery, then press power to enter it.

flash my MIUI rom, then extract the boot.img from that rom zip and perform the steps I listed in my last post

i did it...it took me a while but i did it...i hate htc phones. you all actually helped me, ill show you what i did...after the last command, i wiped data, cache, and dalvik and then i flashed miui (which my friend loves by the way)

weekends should have my wipe scripts back up for me in another day or two, they are in the batch of files i'm sending him tonight. May help with stuff like this in the future to give a clean start.

[SOLVED]HTC One S Won't Go Past Boot Animation

I have a rooted phone, with flash cwm recovery (latest), and used the proper boot.img file for that ROM.
I have tried wiping everything (date, cache, dalvik, etc).
When I turn on the phone it goes past the HTC logo, but it stays on the current ROM's logo. It just doesn't go past that.
Any way of fixing this? Thanks in advance.

Relock your phone and Fine your RRU Update after that
Use this Tool to ROOT!!:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
Then Root your phone again and you should have no problem after that
If I was you ill use TWRP Recovery its better then CWM

[SOLVED]
I solved the problem using another method! Thanks everyone for answer this thread though
****
For those searching for a solution of this issue this is what I did to solve the problem:
You need to download twrp boot img ...fastboot flash recovery (recovery name)
wipe factory reset, system, and both caches all x3 then proceed to install
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
Go into twrp recovery
Flash ROM
Erase both caches (Cache and Dalvik)
On your CPU go to the zip, open it... right click on boot IMG choose extract to where you have your fastboot.
Go into fastboot
Fastboot flash boot (your boot IMG)
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot
Wait a few mins... if no boot put back in recovery erase both caches manually then reboot system....this will work
Thanks to $droyd$. All credits go to him

Better recovery than twrp?

I have recently been having problems with TWRP, when I factory reset to install a new rom it rests just fine then when I go to install the new rom the phone reboots and when it has restarted it hasn't actually wiped anything. Is there a better option for a recovery everyone would recommend?

Did you flash the recovery in the twrp app? Reason I asked is cause the app wanted to flash mine to the wrong partition.

I'm not real familiar with using fastboot, when I put this recovery on and unlocked the phone was the first time I ever used it. So how would I go about doing that and what does it do

TWRP works just fine here. Which version do you have installed? Sure you flashed TWRP for the M8???
And what do you mean with "hasn't wiped anything"?
You do a factory wipe (default under Wipe menu) and when you boot your apps are still there, you don't have to go through setup?
After performing a factory wipe, go to Advanced and save the recovery log. Post it here.

Yeah it doesn't wipe anything the phone restarts and all my apps and their data is still intact. I just finished recovering from a bad situation. I flashed philz touch recovery using flashify and when I went to the recovey to do a backup the screen went black and booted staight into the hboot screen, every time I tried to reboot the phone it would send me to the hboot screen. I finally got twrp back by fasboot from my computer it was the newest twrp I got to flash I believe 2.7.1.0 I tried to restore a backup but all it would was restore the system and stop when it got to system data. I even tried flashing a new rom and that failed also. I then installed the other twrp 2.7.0.2 because I read most people are still ueing it because of problems with theother one. The phone still wouldn't boot or flash a rom but I got the restore to work by choosing not to restore data after rebooting two or three times the phone finally rebooted and all my apps and their data were still the even though I tried to install and new rom three or four times. Im a little worried now about trying to flash anything now. Im not new to android but my last phone was rock solid and I never had to deal with this many head aches. Thanks for any insite you can offer and sorry for such a long post

[Q] Issue after installing kernel!!! Please help!!!

Hi,
I am new to rooting my phone and I've screwed it up . I installing elementalX kernel, and then I reinstalled the kernel(this time underclocked) without flashing my phone.

I am able to enter the Recovery mode, tried cleaning dalvik cache, cache, even factory reset, still the problem persists, so so any help on this would be immensely appreciated.

Try to wipe cache in recovery or flash the stock kernel(boot.img) in fastboot and wipe cache afterwards. If that doesn`t work factory reset or reflash the rom you have with a full wipe.

If you also erased and flashed userdata.img you shouldn`t have problems, for the symbol you see press power and then volume up and you should come in recovery.
