[Q] Totally messed up my phone after attempting to get root.

I just tried to use this method on my Inspire today and there was an error when flashing back to the stock AT&T ROM after gaining S-OFF and root. When I try to start up the phone normally, it gets stuck on the HTC screen. When I try to boot into recovery, it just shows a black screen while the LED is green.
Anybody know what I can do to fix my phone?

which root method did you use?

I used the one click root method.

Sorry your link doesn't seem to work.

If you press the down volume and hold power can you get to hboot?

Try using bubby's tool to fix the CWM black screen. Its under the fixes link.

I can't seem to access any sort of recovery or hboot. Holding down both volume buttons and turning the phone on will result in the black screen with green LED. Holding the down volume button and turning the phone on does nothing.

Sorry go to Bubbys super one step and search for CWM black screen....

If it helps, the phone vibrates 5 times then shows a black screen.

Well I was able to get into HBOOT but when I tried to go into recovery, the screen would just turn black.

You need to get the stock rooted PD98IMG.zip into the root of your sd card. Then go to hboot and let the phone find it. Follow on screen instructions. Note the progress bar will be vertical on upper right. I bet that fixes you up on getting the phone working. Black screen on cwm is a whole nother issue. One that I share. I think I'm going to revert to stock unrooted and then our attn1 hack kit.

There is a solution you can eng s-off, but I would not advise this there is no need to eng s-off your phone.
The simplest way though it may take longer is to, revert to stock and reroot and s-off with the hack kit.
This is a very common problem with the one click. To be honest there is a thread made just like this twice a day.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I managed to fix everything on my phone. I just flashed the rooted AT&T stock ROM with HBOOT and then used the one-click ENG S-OFF method to fix the black screen on CWM. Now running CM7 perfectly. I'm glad I no longer have to send it back to AT&T.

kinder gentler XDA i guess. Last year posts like these would have been flamed right off the board. Thats not a bad thing, but new people are wasting everyones F'ing time with these posts.
RTFM! w/e it is you decide to do , how about looking for help in the dam thread you downloaded the stuff from? I duno maybe we have a bunch of people brand new to Forums or something.

Ok I don't mean to thread jack, I just didn't want to start a new thread for this. I've been running the Coredroid Rom since I first rooted my phone. I have never had any problems with my phone even when trying out other roms. Today I tried installing the new Coredroid 5.0. It all went well as usual except this time on the last step of the setup wizard, it said something like "setup has stopped working unexpectedly and will notify HTC" and only let me press ok to force close.
After that happened all I couldn't even go to my home screen. I then tried restarting my phone but got stuck on the Coredroid rotating logo. Only way out of that was to pull the battery cover. Tried going into recovery mode but the screen would just be black and I would have the orange light flashing. That didn't work so I tried restarting again. Again just got stuck on the spinning logo.....This is where **** gets weird. I began to receive a call while on the logo and that allowed me to answer thus leaving the spinning logo. I still could not go to my home screen. I could only use the drop down notifications menu. I restarted my phone again so I could call myself while on the logo and again it got me unstuck from the logo. Only way to fix every thing was to use the search option and run Rom Manager and recover from my previous back up.
So I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I always fallow instructions and hardly ever have any problems but this was just odd. I felt like I had to solve riddles in order to get my phone working again.

See if you can boot to bootloader by means of ADB (adb reboot bootloader). If so reflash the stock rooted rom then reload CWM. You might need to Eng-S off if you have a corrupt file / bootloader? When done reflash CorDroid 5.0 (What I am running by the way)....

black htc screen
I tried to root my phone like an idiot because I dont know anything about this stuff and I got a black htc screen and i cant do anything. HELP!!

I see a lot of motivation in this and other threads to leave well-enough alone. Going to leave mine unrooted-stock.
I just had an excellent session of Google Nav where it performed exemplary. My phone does all I need and remains within the rules as the OEM wants it.

touch screen

Hi. I have unlocked, my phone sucsessfuly, S-off, h-boot, custom recovery. After restart my touch screen is unresposible for about 10 seconds. After that is O.K. but sometimes is the same thing. I can not unlock , because the ring is not moving. I changed my screen protector, Tryed without screen protector.Nothing helped. Should I flash stock Rom. Very weierd issue. BTW in CWM , when I try to flash custom rom is same thing, screen does not respond for about 3,4 seconds after that is O.K.

[Q][SOLVED] Nexus S I9023 - NO Recovery in Fastboot

Hi Guys,
I have a Nexus S EU version I9023 and I wanted to get ICS. I flashed the 128 mb ICS image manually through fastboot recovery, however, I wanted to go back and try to flash it again or flash 2.3.6 on the phone again but it's not working.
It's going into fastboot and I can choose what I want from the menu but when I choose Recovery, it shows the Google screen, Flashes the Android with a little "Matrix" ball in front of it and then it freezes at a black screen, with the soft buttons lit up.
Could anyone tell me what happened and if it can be fixed?
PS: When I press VolumeUp+Power at the black screen, it resets!

Thing is, I don't have clockworkmod installed at all. It's a clean Nexus S, NO root, NO CWM, no nothing.
I truly hope that somebody will have an answer to this or that, at least, I won't loose any OTA updates from Google by making this update.

The stock ics recovery turns off the backlight on the 9023, it has been explained countless times. Point a flashlight at it and u should be able to see what's actually there.

Exactly. I've had the same problem than OP and fixed it today. Just use a very bright lamp, try to find a good angle and you may see the recovery menu (it's hard to see, you'd better be comfortable with the navigation on the recovery menu as you may not be able to read everything).

it depends what you want to do from here on. the bright light method did not work for me so i installed cwmrecovery with bootloader.
if u are waiting for the next ota, do nothing as you wont need stock recovery to install update.
if you wanna downgrade or flash different rom, you can install cwmrecovery and use that from thr..
no need to access stock recovery
i panicked as well when it happened but ntg to worry about

Are you able to boot into bootloader (fastboot) via Vol-UP+Power combo?
You may have to re-flash recovery and go from there.

HELP bricked att lg g2

I have the ATT model g2. it was running android 4.2.2 and i rooted. i got an OTA notification yesterday so i unrooted it, and uninstalled busybox. and went ahead with the update. now, my phone does not turn on. you go to turn it on and the lg logo flashes for a second or two, then a black screen, if you look closely you can tell that the screen panel is still lit, but nothing shows up. It will not boot to download mode, and it does boot to the (stock lg, not custom) recovery, but when i hit the power button to do the hard reset, i get the black screen again, and no boot. when i connect it to my computer, it gives me a bunch of popups saying that i need to reformat a drive before i can use it, somewhere around 15-20 of them? ive run out of ideas to fix it. any and all help is appreciated. :crying::crying::crying::crying: would really like my g2 back, im back to my old phone which was a nexus 5 that has a terribly cracked screen, and i really like to get the g2 back rather than having to pay to get my screen replaced.

No it was stock recovery. I tried installing recover with the twrp app but it didn't work so it was a stock LG recovery.

did you try to factory reset in stock recovery along with wiping the usual,cache and dalvik?

Tried using the stop recovery factory reset, that's all lg's recovery can do. It says factory reset processing like normal but then the screen goes black again. LG stock recovery can't wipe the cache and dalvik afaik
