Well I rooted my phone and flahsed some ROMs, I mean I installed rom after rom to check the best for me and they kinda ****ed my phone... I mean I get incoming phone calls and I can answer them only if Im in lock screen so its kinda ****ed up.. I want to go back into being rooted but not with costum roms, I wiped everything completly (only internal memory left unwiped) and now I'm stuck in boot loop.. Can you help me?
If you had taken a nandroid backup of the stock rooted rom, now's the time to restore it. If not, then you will need to download the factory images from Here and flash them via fastboot and then flash a custom recovery and root it again.

If you actually wiped everything, it won't boot unless you flashed the stock image/another ROM.
Yes, just flash stock onto it with fastboot. Done. Clean slate.

After you flash a kernel the first boot does take a couple minutes, but flashing another rom should do it

Just boot into recovery, factory reset it, clear the Dalvik cache, format the system and install the stock GB rom or another rom. If you don't clear the Dalvik cache and wipe the system before installing roms or kernels you get bootloop problems such as this. Your phone is okay. The G2X is virtually unbrickable. It just gets indigestion form operator error when flashing roms.
ok so i factory reseted, cleared the cache and the dalvic. my phone wont read the gb stock rom, i dl unto my external card

Did you do a Nand Backup with CWM before flashing the kernel? If so, restore the phone how it was before you mucked it up.
Was trying to flash the ICS ROM V5 but it got stuck on the boot animation. I did a factory reset, surprisingly it was still there. So i used "Team Win Recovery Project" aka "twrp-crespo-2[DOT]0[DOT]0RC0[DOT]img" in nexusshacks.com. I went in there to do a factory reset but i wiped the ACTUAL system instead. So when i reboot i am stuck on Google. Unfortunely i only had 1 back up which is in ClockworkMod, but i cant access that. I dont mind my lost files because i can recover that but i want my phone to work again. Can i copy the nexus s contents from another nexus s and place it in my SD and will it work? If you guys have ideas please do reply because i need my phone fixed asap. Bootloader unlocked and rooted using superuser.

okay,am not very familiar with TWRP but your problem doesn't seem that big,you wiped the /system which should not affect your USB storage data (even if you wiped the USB storage it's not a problem),try to boot into the bootloader (volume up + power button) then go to recovery,mount the USB storage and put a ROM on it,then just flash the ROM and your device should boot up normally,i think you weren't stuck at the bootanimation since when you flash a new ROM the first boot could take from 5 to 10 minutes.
i usually do a clean install before flashing a new ROM (format system,data,cache,boot) and the device just boot up normally after flashing the new ROM so it's not a problem if you wiped your system just flash a new ROM.

I did this same thing a few weeks ago. I just had to reinstall everything (including the recovery) from fastboot. Worked like a charm.
I used the nexusshack tut to root my nexus had no problems.
You could go into recovery, mount usb storage, find the clockworkmod directory and copy that to your pc..
do a full data wipe and flash a new rom, then install rom manager flash CWM recovery . move the clockworkmod directory back to your phone. boot into recovery and restore you backup.
Just an idea .. not sure if it could work..(take no responsibility is it doesnt)
Hi,
I have unlocked my bootloader(HBOOT 2.00.0002) using htcdev.com official method (still S-ON) and installed clockwork mod recovery v 5.0.2.0. Then I made a back up, I was running the stock rom (2.10.401.8). Everything went Ok.
Afer trying a couple of roms and getting some crashes, I decide to go back to my stock rom. Go to recovery, make the 3 wipes and restore. CWM says everything is ok. But after rebooting, every single time, the HTC white logo displays and them it goes to the clockworkmod screen.
Is there any extra step to restore a back up beeing s-on?
Flash the original kernel? I assume this still needs to be done even with a CWM backup?

After several tries it finally worked by flashing the original boot.img. Thanks!
I'm having the same problem again..
I flashed the ICS base rom (found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859700) and its boot.img through clockworkmod. My desire s is unlocked via htcdev, so its S-On, which means the new radio was not flashed, right?
So I want to go back to my gingerbread stock rom back up ((2.10.401.8). Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, wipe cache and wipe data, then restore the back up. Reboot into fastboot and flash boot.img extracted from the back up. Everything seems to be ok,but after rebooting its stuck at the htc white logo, and I've go through the whole proces 3 times now.
Am I doing something wrong or missing some step?
Thanks a lot!
I tried to flash a cm10 rom and i did thought i flashed the boot.img separately as i read you have to but it was stuck booting for at least 25 min so i gave up with that and tried to restore from a backup i made with twrp. I restored from the backup and tried to reboot but nothing happens, it shows the htc screen and then turns black and thats it. I can go into bootloader and recovery but im not sure what to do to get back. Should i try a ruu?

Maybe it was a bad restore? or a bad backup? You could try restoring from your backup again.
Or blaze on and see if you can get CM10 up and running.
Did you wipe /cache/dalvik/system when coming from stock (before installing)? I've seen situations (on other devices), Where I've had to delete the /data partition as well, I'm not sure why it wouldn't boot, but it refused to get past the CM load screen until the /data partition was wiped. If it's a new phone and you don't have too much on the sdcard, this might be worth trying.
Once you have TWRP flashing ROM's shouldn't be too bad, it's just the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" that catches people out usually.
you still have to flash boot.img separate before/after a twrp restore.
Grab the boot.img from a stock rom
Wipe cache/dalvik
Factory reset
Bootloader, fastboot usb, then fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then restore the backup
Thanks everyone for the responses, I was able to get it working after trying a few more times and wiping everything. Not sure why it didnt work earlier but all of a sudden after trying it just worked.
Hey guys, im really desperate right now
Had xz dualrecovery and moonbreakers rom installed and wanted to do a clean install. I wiped system (which wasn't very clever i know) and wanted to reboot into recovery.
But now i can't get into recovery no more, tried volume up/down directly after turning on the phone. It just gets stuck at the sony screen. :crying:
The led doesn't turn green as well as it normally does
Is the situation really as serious as this thread might suggest?

No other way of getting into recovery and flash the rom? Without flashing with flashtool
Edit: my bootloader is locked
When you wiped the system you wiped the recovery as recovery is installed to the system partition on locked boot loaders.
You should be able to fix this by flashing a stock for and starting again from the root process...

Can i do this without wiping internal storage?
