[Q] CM7 Not Going Beyond Loading Screen AND Clockworkmod Is Black

A couple of weeks ago I decided to root my phone for the benefits it came with. I did so successfully and had no problems until I decided I'd let my curiosity get the better of me and try flashing CM7 onto my phone. I did so, and everything seemed successful, but I got stuck in a boot loop when I turned on the phone.
I know there are solutions to this, but they all involve either CWM or ADB. Just two problems: I can't use ADB because I forgot to leave USB Debugging on, and I can't seem to get CWM to do anything (it's just a black screen).
There are solutions to all of these problems individually, I know, but each solution relies on at least one of the others to be working. I've been surfing this forum and others like it hoping that someone else would have this problem and would have a solution for me, but I've come up dry.
I used attn1's Ace Hack to root my phone, and then I used Rom Manager to install CM7. Then I hit the loop. Also, my CWM was working prior to CM7.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thank you in advance,

P.S. - I'm new to this forum and don't really know the rules perfectly, so if I did something wrong, then please just let me know what I did and what I should've done. Thank you.

But you can still get in hboot right?

It sounds like you did not choose to wipe data and cache. You always need to do this when changing roms. Best way is to enter cwm yourself and select wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik then flash Rom.

Pull you battery for a little bit then try and get into recovery again. If you still can't get in then you will have to reflash your recovery through bootloader.

If all else fails you can use the tool in this link to return to stock. Then re root you phone. genes tool

You can jump into the IRC channel and get some real-time help too:

No, I didn't think to. To be honest, I saw Rom Manager and thought I would just be able to click on what I wanted and have it ready to play with in a few minutes. I never read what to do before the installation, which was my huge mistake.
Anyhow, I don't think I can get into HBoot. When I turn the phone on with power button and volume button, it vibrates three times, but then it goes to a black screen. I read about this problem with CWM, but the only solutions I saw involved getting into your phone - which I can't do.
So I'm wondering if CWM still works but that it just doesn't show what it's doing. If that's the case, then maybe I could still manage to fix my phone with CWM. Does anyone know if such is the case?

Thank you!

Sounds like you're holding the vol+ button. You need to be holding vol- when you press power to get to HBOOT. From there you can get into Recovery.

this is correct, but you may want to pull out your sd card first. if it still has the pd98img on there,,, its just gonna loop ya. so pull it out before trying, you can always stick it back in once you get to recovery, then select mount> sd card
GOOD LUCK!!

Bricked, trying to fix, but running into problems.

So long story short, I tried to do something I probably shouldn't have, and now my phone wont boot. It does the boot screen, and then to a black screen where the screen is active, and if I touch it, the buttons light up. I can get into a recovery screen with vol- and 3D button, but it says "can't mount cache recovery log" with whatever I press. I've tried following the guide here, but I get to where I start updating, and the program just stops responding. Been trying different things for a few hours now. Every search I find says that it is solvable, but at the same time, I can't seem to solve it.
Any info I'm missing? Getting reckless here. I guess I deserve it for what I've gotten myself into. Anything is appreciated!

Find dark lestats guide and do the volume plus up and connect it to your pc and flash a kdz.. After you flash kdz start it in recovery wipe everything and your sorted...

This is my problem... I can't seem to get the guide working. I get to where the KDZ should install, but then the program stops responding, and says it can't find device. Is it because I'm not putting it in download mode right?
EDIT
***Scratch that... I think I've got it to work. Will edit again if it does ***

Your welcome anytime what did you do exactly anyway..

Just didn't mount the phone correctly. Never actually did get it to vibrate, and it just didn't want to show in device manager. But it ended up working.

OH! Yeah, I just tried to flash a baseband to get CM7 networking to work. Had no idea what I was doing. Stupid me.
Doing more research now... If I'm running v20c, what kind of roms can I flash? It seems like there aren't any at all. Or does it matter what roms I flash in relation to what version I currently have? It's all a learning experience for me lol.

You can flash any roms on any basebands.. but you cannot mix gingerbread roms with froyo basebands its a no go lol..

Okay, well that makes more sense. I assume it works as whatever rom you flash, the baseband you have is what it uses?

[Q] PLEASE HELP! Completely stuck.

Hello XDA! New member here with a huge problem.
So I recently flashed Helly Bean 4.2.2 onto my Nexus S 4G and it was great, really fast! But for some reason, when my phone died and I powered it back on, it was stuck at the boot animation. I still cannot get passed it. Now I know an issue like this can be solved through the recovery (I use TWRP) but some months ago, my power button messed up. It's as if it's always in the pushed in position even though it isn't, it still clicks like the first day i got it. My phone automatically boots up when i connect my charger or put a charged battery in. I can get into fastboot mode but due to messed up power button, I can't scroll down to the recover option and even if i could, I wouldn't be able to execute it. So that's my problem, I'm stuck at the boot animation, and I'm stuck at the fastboot menu. Is there anyway I can reset factor settings/flash another rom/ or even revert back to stock and unroot from fastboot using some program?? I'd prefer not to lose anything on my SD card though, but if it has to be done then so be it. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

first.. did you eneble Usb debuging when you had a working rom..?? If yes then you should try this while you have the boot loop to get into recovery.. you could then make a factory reset and you should be fine.. I hope this helps you..

Thanks anyway though!

[Q] Stuck on ASUS logo

Hello everybody,
I hope that someone can give me some advise to get my tf300t up and running again. I wanted to install cm10.2 but I wanted to install CWM first.
I unlocked my device first with the unlock app v8 from asus.
I tried to install CWM the first time but it did not work.
I went back into recovery mode but I wasn't paying attention and pressed wipe userdata
Now my tf300t only shows the ASUS logo and the text that the device is unlocked. I can't get back in recovery mode anymore. Is there a way the restore it back to default?
I hope that someone can help me out.
Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

Can you get to the menu with the recovery options, boot android, USB, and wipe data? You can use fastboot from there.

If you cant get into there, you cant really use fastboot. Unless you made NvFlash Backups beforehand, I don't think there is much else you can do, since the recovery isn't working either.

I've spent a lot of time searching and it seems like that's it...
I'm on Asus screen, I can reboot it by either holding down pwr button until it reboots, or using reset switch with a paperclip. vol - does nothing, just reboots to asus screen...computer sees nothing. vol + goes into APX mode (blank screen)...computer detects with correct drivers. I've tried draining battery completely...disconnecting battery for a few days...same result.
If I had to speculate...maybe at some point someone will figure out how to use another's backup files and push them to the device in APX mode.
I've looked into replacing the motherboard...and have seen some for as low as 50$ on ebay. Personally, swapping them would be easy...but some may not have the caviler attitude with hardware swapping. Just gotta get the wife to agree to spend the $.
I'd die for a free fix, the kids really miss playing with the thing

This was my original thread. I installed flash-tool, and did the volume down etc. It told me to unplug my phone, AND NOW IT FREEZES AFTER THE ANDROID BOOT SCREEN! (I also hear a short buzz before it reboots)
I don't know how to get into recovery. It's a new phone I just got today. Please help! I'll do anything to have it working again! :crying:

well to get into recovery you hold the volume down button after the Sony splash screen the phone should emit a green led and vibrate if you hold down the volume down it should turn purple to enter recovery. If you can't get that far you will need flashtool. If you just wanted root you could have used kingroot. or you could flash a prerooted zip. Thats if you had already installed xz dual recovery ater flashing if not just try reflashing in flashtool.

BTW don't open any more threads on this because it violates xda rules of posting for the same thing. Anyway I hate flashtool but try exclude t/a and reset customizations on the menu to the right. Your phone is not hard bricked and should be fixable. You should pm me and I will try to work you through this.
