Need Some HELP ASAP PLEASE..

Ok had a Sidekick 4G rooted and custom rom installed and I sold it to a friend. Well they took it to a T-Mobile store and the guy factory reset it (for what reason idk) and she told me the phone would come back on.. I tried entering CWM recovery and was able to but the phone stays stuck on the boot screen everytime I try to reboot it and the only way to turn it off is to do a battery pull..
Can anyone help me fix this problem like asap please? Thanks for any and all help..

Got it all sorted out, had to basically revert to stock G2X using that flash.bat method that is floating around. Worked like a charm! running Nullifier Single right now, already have CM7 RC1 on deck followed by a legit open source Kernel Faux was messing around with.
I'll use my banned IMEI G2X for ICS builds.

You're screwed. Seriously if you have a SGH-T959W there is no supported help. We dont have any once clicks to fix your phone.

There is no slim ics for this phone yet so you flashed something for another phone....on that note just one click back to stock without flashing bootloaders and you'll hopefully be fine.

But not your exact phone model (SGH-T959W). Read a little more carefully next time. Though you might get flamed if you ask a question about it, it's better than bricking your phone. Next time try to make sure it IS for your phone before you flash.

You can use bhundven's One-Click. There is a guide for it in the second link of my signature. Don't flash bootloaders as eollie said...

Recovery mode issue

Hey guys, I'm new to the flashing scene so bare with me. Not to long ago I flashed my Infuse 4g device from gingerbread to ics, which for some reason made my recovery mode half disorientated (with weird colors)and half visible. Yet, difficult I was still able to maneuver and flash some tweaks here and there. However, I've now moved on to JellyBean, but now my entire recovery mode screen is disorientated (with weird colors) What should I do now?
You need the Gingerbread boot loaders to make it correct.

Just bear the fact that you are at risk of hard bricking your infuse when you are flashing Gingerbread bootloaders.

If you can successfully flash other items in Heimdall or Odin, it's really not that big of a deal. The Gingerbread Kies update and the prezreket UCLB3 leak also update the bootloaders. Just don't interrupt the flash. Crinkypops is correct, though, that a failed bootloader flash is about the only way to really brick an Infuse. So double check that you can flash other items using your chosen software. If you can, go for the bootloaders and don't let your dog or kid disconnect the USB cable for the few seconds it takes to flash.

Thank you guys so much, I was able to flash the bootloader using odin (because I don't trust myself using Heimdall yet) nonetheless, I'm happy that I can see my recovery mode screen now and all thanks to the XDA community.

[Q] Is my phone donzo? [sgh-t959w]

I tried the hiemdall, it wouldn't give me wifi, so I followed the modem installation guide, and well anywho
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issues. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I'm litterly having an anxiety attack I payed almost $400 today for this.. I just want it to work and be rooted :'(
I've been reading through posts since 6pm eastern time, my head is so gone.
Read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33275008
The screen you see is an alternative download mode.
I tried that, it wont detect it. The whole reason I got into this mess is because it wasn't clear on how to install the modem =.= ..
The wifi had nothing to do with the modem, but the kernel which was explained in there. If you get the firmware screen, that is download mode and heimdall should detect it.
Try pulling the battery and putting into download mode and if the firmware screen comes, that's fine and see if heimdall detects it.

The whole reason you are in this mess is because you jumped in, didn't read fully and tried messing with a phone that was only a few hours old. Many people have used my guide and other guides on here with no or little problems and 99% of the time, they can be fixed.

Okay so I'm at the rom installation, and I'm unsure of what ROM to install...
Let's start with what android version you are on and want to be on. (Froyo, GB, ICS or JB)

Or maybe read the thread to find out.
Honestly, I would love JB I'm currently running 2.3.6, though in all honesty I just want something funky and reliable =p.

How would this ROM work out?
I wish everyone would just get a usb jig.
@Lesorin: I would think any SGH-T959V rom would work fine, as long as you make sure the rom doesn't include bootloaders. (am I right getochkn?)
And most roms don't come with bootloaders, because we all got burnt by KF1. Yea, old school
