anyone know what i can do please help.. thank you

You need to match the right kernel for the ROM your using, you can download and put it on your SD card boot into bootloader should be good to go. Worst case reflash ROM.

Go into bootloader (power off, then back on while holding volume down) Go into recovery, choose install from zip, then find the ROM on your SD card and flash.

You did backup right ?

I think he was asking if you made a Nandroid back ( a complete backup of you ROM) If not you need to place a ROM on your SD card and flash it via recovery (see my earlier post)

Find a ROM in the EVO section here at XDA ( Your in the EVO Shift forum) http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653
Not sure what to tell you about getting your pc to recognize your SD card but that would make the process a lot easier

Dont hook it to the pc. When the phone is off (hold volume down then hold the power button) it will boot into bootloader, volume down to recovery, hit power to select.

Is my Thunderbolt bricked?

Hey, everyone. How's it going? I have been running Gingervitis 1.1 (?) and last night I went to uninstall an app that I had installed from the market. My phone froze up and is worthless at the moment. I can boot up, but I cant do anything. I see my wallpaper and the taskbar (even it is a little off), but that is it. If I hold power and volume down while booting it goes to the menu, but it automatically chooses to update the radio. I can't choose to do anything else. Wtf? Can I fix this?
Also, the phone will ring, but I can't do anything about that either.
I appreciate any help.

Hmm not sure I can be much help but you could try and get into recovery from there, rename a file say maybe a Rom to PG05IMG so when in hboot it tries to load it? hey just trying to help here and not sure it gonna work but could try a couple more ideas until someone smarter pops in. Sure your not bricked though.

If you can get into hboot you're not bricked. It sounds like you have a PG5... file still on your sd card. Take it out of the phone and load into your computer to delete that file. Put the card back in and you should now be able to select recovery in the hboot menu.

last i checked, a brick just sat there. so if your phone does more than set there, no it's not. it can probably be fixed. good luck.
power down your phone, take out your sd card and insert it into a computer. delete the pg#### file from the root of your sdcard. insert card in to phone, power back up.

try taking out your SD card and connecting it to computer, rename the PG05img to something else. then you should be able to hboot and get into recovery

Awesome. I'll go buy a card reader and see what I can do. I will post back in a bit.
Thanks to everyone so far.

After your able to get back into recovery. Try to run logcat from adb and see where it errors out after you reboot. If you can determine the broken app, you can uninstall it from adb. If not just reinstall the Rom from recovery. If all fails wipe and install clean. Good luck

Thanks everyone. All is well now. I renamed PG05IMG and went from there as suggested. I went ahead and installed BAMF Sense 3 instead of going back to Gingervitis.
I had not backed up... oops. No worries though, but I will do it now.
Thanks again

One more "Oh noooo... Wait really? WHEW!!!! It's not bricked afterall." save on XDA.
They saved me once too. Glad you're up and running. Patience is key and so many people around here seem to be so quick to send the phone back, blame the developer and post how the rom bricked their phone, then start a thread about "Rumor Verizon is tracing all phones that spontaneously combusted to rooting. Am I getting Busted?"
Again, nice job on the save
Rooted Thunderbolt on BAMF Sense 3.0 RC 4 with MR2 radio and latest dreamKernel.

[Q] T-Mobile LG G2x crashed, need help

ok, so a few days ago i was flashing the G2x weapon rom onto my rooted G2x, but while i was in the clockwork mod to flash it it froze on me, i left it like that for an hour or so, but it didnt work, so i took the battery out. now whenever i turn it on, it loads the LG screen, then nothing, the screen stays turned on, but its black, ive tried to boot it into recovery mode but that does not work either. What should i do?

Did you do One-Click NVFlash>? if u used Rom Manager you probably fake flashed and thats why its not working for you. You should use NVflash followt he steps and boot up into recover and restore a back up. GOod Luck

thanks ill try that

Also try holding the vol down+pwr for longer than usual might just be being difficult
Making bad decision's one at a time.

so when i get into nvflash it says usb not found,
i did all the steps, and had it all done, but it dosent find my phone

Did u install the drivers correctly? That's probably the problem if it says USB is not found. I believe there is a video about how to install the drivers. Ill look for the video now

This was written for Windows users, I followed this one myself, pretty straight-forward, and "idiot proof". (If anything can be truly idiot proof. Cynical, who, me?)

so, ive flashed my phone through nvflash and i got clockwork mod up and running, but whenever i select the file to flash that is on my SD card, it says no files found. i even tried going to my backup on the clockwork file, and nothing.

Since changing to Nvflash, did you download the rom you want to install and transfer it to the phone from your computer. Using Rom Manager it may not have left a copy on your phone.

If you cant hook up the SD card to the computer, get an external SD card and make sure u've installed clockwordmod with external sd, hook it up to a laptop with an SD card slot, and put it in , then take the mini sd and pop it in your phone, then boot up and that should do it good luck! atleast now your 1 step closer to recovering your phone

Ughh hate,seeing this happen...hope u flashed nV..all the best
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Hope you didn't brick your phone.

No you did not brick your phone. Rom manager downloads the file to sdcard/clockworkmod/downloads. Look there for the file. Only if you download a rom from your browser does it go to externalsdcard/downloads

After flashing trinity, computer won't detect SD card

Title basically explains it all, it says the USB device has failed and won't show it at all under my computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Did you install the lg drivers? For some reason you have to use same usb port each and every time. Have you tried a different computer if possible?

Nope, it's CM7.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling LG Drivers, and that didn't work either. I tried another PC as well, and it also failed to recognize the device.
Not sure if this means anything but when I go into CWM on my phone, I can't choose any of the options, it just goes to the icon and does nothing until I battery pull.
Is there any way I can format the SD while it's in my phone, or will that screw things up, like my ROM, ect.

You can reformat the sd card while on cwm but it's gonna clear ur sd. It's gonna erase everything on it. Your rom will be fine

Alright, I'll try that, I don't have anything on it besides music and my zip files. I put the micro SD in a regular SD adapter and it works fine on my PC, it's something about when the card is in my actual phone.

[Q] Evita is bootlooping, won't go back into TWRP

The title tells all... essentially I went to install a ROM, and boom. Just boot loops the HTC dev warning screen. I am able to get into my bootloader but I can't get into TWRP recovery. I also just got a Mac Book and I am not able to connect via fastboot. I think I may be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure. Could I have some input on my predicament?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I created a guide on how to fix this issue. You can head on over to Team Nocturnal's XsMagical's Thread to see it.

It shows up as nothing. The only things I can mount is /data/ and /system/. And those don't come up as anything. However in my disk utility app on my mac it shows that my phone has 10GB of storage and it recognizes what it is.

I am going to find a way by using the Nocturnal method. I'll update as I can.

How were you able to get into TWRP? I am experiencing a similar problem to you. I have a looping HTCdev screen and cannot fastboot TWRP because it keeps saying "waiting for device" when i try. Any help would be appreciated.

press and hold power. THe capacitive buttons will blink a bunch of times then the screen will go black. When it does, let go of power and press and hold volume down until bootloader comes up.

The problem I had is that I needed to reflash TWRP via fastboot. Make sure you have fastboot and HTC drivers.
