Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??

or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..

Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...

Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Yes it works!!! i am downloading another rom now and then i will place it into the sd card. Thanks !!!!!!

Thank you rista and fko!!! You guys are my angels!!

SNAP... !!
Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Good to hear....well Ive got to call it a night....been up 17 hours
Us flashaholics and modders spend way to much time on the dev forums....its a hard life ..
Maybe it was for the best...you will enjoy custom roms, you can do so much..take a quick look at my DHD screenshot...its so far away from stock now

Fkofilee, you are a great help to people. It's people like you who inspired me to give back what I've learned from these forums. Now we pass the knowledge and experience on. Well done!

[Q] Custom rom on FRG83D

Hey guys i've been on the forums for the longest but just never posted, long time reader though. Ok so i'm new to android and love it , i have a nexus one and have had it for about 4 months now, bought it from someone on craigslist for about 450 brand new, worth every penny and is treated as my firs born. Rooted but never installed a custom rom, was nervous i would ruin something. Seeing how there are so many options in custom roms, i really want to install cyanogen now, only problem is that i updated to frg83d, so can i still install cyanogen? if so can someone give me a link or a little help? i know gb will be here soon but not sure when and i'd like to add enhance my phone a little, also if i were to install a custom rom how hard would it be to then install gb would it need to be reflashed back to the stock rom? tia.

If you updated to FRG83D and rooted...(not rooted and updated, for updating OS will unroot your phone)
1. Using ROM Manager is the easiest way for starters.
- Download ROM Manager from Market.
- Run ROM Manager, then flash Clockwork Recovery into your device.
- Once it is done, make your nandroid backup first by choosing 'Backup Current ROM'. It's a 'must', so you can restore everything when flashing custom ROM goes wrong.
- Backup your account, application & data. You'll need to restore them after installing custom ROM(when rooted, backup tools like My Backup Pro can backup application data).
- Dump everything in your SD card to HDD in case.
- Now partition your SD card. It's optional, but needed for A2SD+. SD card will be formatted during partitioning. Once it is done, copy your backups to SD card.(backup is always a must)
- Download custom ROM you want, copy it to root of SD card.
- In ROM Manager, choose 'Install ROM from SD Card'. Then Clockwork Recovery will do the things.
- Done!
2. If you downloaded and flashed other recovery like Amon Ra's, you'll need to do all the job in the recovery mode. However, it's not much harder than using Clockwork Recovery and ROM Manager.
**Currently, many custom ROMs(which are still developing) are based on FRG83(D). Once 'completely' working Gingerbread(current build: GRH55) ROM is out, such custom ROMs will be updated.
**Read other topics, especially pinned ones. Usually they cover things you want to know.

Thanks for the quick response lfact, but i'm having a problem, whenever i try to install rom from sd card and it goes to install i get a screen with the android and an exclmanation point, any reason why?

Make sure you flashed custom recovery on your device. Oh, and.... If you have any question, post that on Q&A, not general.

Got everything working lfact thanks alot, mods sorry if this was in the wrong section.

If your computer has an SD reader use a micro SD adapter to delete the pdi15.img from the root of your card. Then you will be able to then boot back into recovery and flash the rom or new kernel again. I hope this helps you out.
Edit: pd151.img

Lol wow - I am in this exact same scenario - placed both kernel and radio on my sd card, flashed the kernel, got stuck at boot loop, and can't get back to recovery to flash the "first time" kernel because hboot only gives me the option of updating radio...
So...I unfortunately don't have an sd card reader on my computer to easily remove the pd15 radio file...is there any way around this? Or is removing the pd15 file from my sd card the only solution??
Ok...I remembered my girlfriend's computer has an sd card reader, I put mine in, and when I try to remove the pd15 radio file, it says it can't be deleted...WTF!? What should I do??
So it looks like the card is "read only" on my girlfriend's computer...but I can't put it into my computer to change the read/write permissions!!! Argh...!!!

I sorted it out....phew! I mounted a different sd card via my phone, fixed the kernel issue by running 'firs time' kernel, and was able to power up phone. Looking good now.

Troubles with Rom Manager and Flashing

I am having a lot of issues with Rom manager. Whenever I create a backup and try to back it up it refuses to work. It acts like it worked. But when I try to restore to that backup it says MD5 mismatch. I am currently running a froyo leedroid rom. I have tried to flash over to a GB Leedroid rom and a Coredroid rom. Neither of them work.
It says finding update package
opening update package
can't open file bad.
I am seriously annoyed with rom manager WTF is the point in creating a damn backup if I can't restore it at a later point?

Now my sdcard will not mount says its is mounted as read only and it wont do a damn thing now...

Bump wondering how to check an MD5. Still wondering what is up with Rom manager. Silly question but am I having troubles because I bought a different memory card for the phone? I did a partition and wiped it but just not sure.

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml
use that to check the MD5. Obviously something getting corrupt along the way. I cant imagine its the memory card but Im not 100%. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than me will pop along shortly.

Hi I'm pretty new here so I'm may be wrong about this, but could it be a problem with Froyo and GB? It's like using office 2010 and 2007 version, may not be backward compatible. But I may be wrong, just a a guess on my part.

Looks to me like you've got a flaky SD card, certainly I have no problems creating and restoring backups although I am on CM7 but that shouldn't make a difference, first off though make sure youre running the lastest ROM Manager and Clockwork versions then try a different SD card.

Okay I am still having issues with Rom manager. I tried putting in a new sd card and it will not mount to the system. I hit mount and it just pops back up saying its ready to remove. I now can't reboot into recovery nor flash clockwork recovery. It said an error occurred while flashing your recovery.
Also I really don't like that I can't even take a picture or use my camera because it says it can't save to the SD card due to insufficient file permissions. Yes I have done fix permissions in rom manager. But it still wont work..

have you tried to do it directly in CWM?
if so, try to flash a newer CWM version (through fastboot, ROM Manager is known to cause some problems).

Hello iam also having problems but i am have my DHD freeze at the splash screen when trying to enter recovery, any ideas please.

ROM manager wouldn't prevent mounting of a new SD card, thats got to be a hardware issue or an issue with your current ROM, try flashing either a different custom ROM or a stock ROM if your SD card woes continue it's a hardware issue, if not it's a ROM issue but either way I think we can safely rule out ROM manager.

Try reflashing Clockwork recovery, either from Fastboot or from ROM manager.

Tried using ROM Manager but got nowhere so i followed this post and it worked first time http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723 , it was great for new guys like me.
But thank you for your help.

I figured out what the problem was. Even though I had formatted that new sd card it still wouldn't mount so I formatted it on the computer and now everything is fine. I don't use that other sd card anymore. I guess it was really just a bad sd card. So a word of advice to everyone that not all sd cards are created equal!
Thanks for all the help everyone!

Wise words there! I've been through 4 memory cards lol and each one broke. One after the other.

I use Rom Manager only to install CWM, and then I flashed all new rom by recovery from SD card.
I propose not to save a money on buying cheap card. It so important

Need someone who knows this phone.. (Revert back to stock)

So.. After owning this phone for a year, I still love it to death..
But after many roms and such its been kinda slowing down on me..
what I would like to do, because I heard it helps a lot, is to revert back to the original software, then put a rom on fresh..
I'm running Synergy Rom now.. And it just locked on me.. It keeps rebooting, so I figure now is the time I do this..
Questions..
I will no have to lose my root? right?
How do I do this now? I'm using clockwork and assume I put the original rom(or zip?) on my sdcard, then go into recovery, and run it?
Correct?
I also ran a script file (v6supercharged)
I assume I will have to redo that as well?
Thanks guys!!
Have no phone right now, so would like to get started asap..
Again!! MUCH THANKS!!

As long as you fully wipe using Amon Ra, you should be able to make most updated ROMs run fast on your phone. Perhaps try reflashing Synergy. I also recommend flashing a new ROM, but reinstalling apps without data. Perhaps that is contributing to the sluggishness.

Thanks.. But I've been told over and over, its sometimes good to revert back to stock..
Wipe/clear, Install stock rom (or its an .exe. or something?) then wipe/clear again, and put the rom on..
Anyone have the stock file??
Do I let it update or no ??

That's ridiculous. A wipe is a wipe.
In fact, using the RUU (.exe) is riskier since it flashes radios and such, and if something goes wrong during, you have a bricked phone. Just do a full wipe including cache/dalvik cache and install your ROM of choice, along with a good kernel.

If you rooted with unrevoked or revolutionary, you will need this file to return to stock, and yes, you will temporarily lose root.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/Un....15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.zip
Change the name to PC36IMG and run it from the root of your SD card through the bootloader. You will lose your root, but your security flag should still be off (S-OFF) so that you can quickly regain root after running this file, after changing it to PC36IMG in place of the first one. (It is Amon-RA and not clockwork. You can reflash clockwork later if you want, which I don't recommend.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/Root 2.3.3/PC36IMG3.08.zip
Also, you might need to flash a superuser app, in case you need root inside the stock ROM. Here is an old one, but it should still work for you.

Like the previous users said, it's probably not necessary, but I'm just giving you what you asked for.

hmmm.. so now its not necessary ? I was always under that impression..
Ok..
Anyone know what the new HOT rom is ??
Gigerbread please ?
Like I said I was using Synergy..
Used Fresh before and a couple others..
whats the hot rom ??
FYI I also partitioned my SD card, or whatever its called.. For the gigerbread thing..

Put MikG 3.0 on it and call it done. Rock solid ROM, great battery life, and awesome tweaks built in. It will be like an all new phone. Enjoy

This is why I stress making a nandroid of your stock/rooted immediately after Rooting.
You may want to simply reformat your SD Card. I've been having a few issues and realized it's been months since I cleaned up and reformatted/repartitioned my SD Card, so I plan on doing that tomorrow and flashing a new ROM

Use "Best Method" for Cleanest way (Wiping)
OLDER: Froyo v2.2 (3.70.651.1) http://keetsa.com/files/RUU_SuperSo...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
Most Current version is "Gingerbread v2.3.3 (4.54.651.1).EXE" http://www.multiupload.com/LLV12N2WU8
with "xxx.EXE file", You'll need to Run it on Widows and install on Phone thru Micro USB plug.
BEST Method to install Most Current STOCK ROM:
1. Download + Rename to "PC36IMG.zip" on SDCARD + (Boot into Recovery +Install) "AmonRa Recovery v3.11-gnm" http://dl.dropbox.com/u/34586908/PC36IMG-ra-supersonic-3.11-gnm.zip
2. (Boot into Recovery), WIPE these 8 lines (All data/factory Reset, /data, /cache, /sdcard/.android_secure, /system, Dalvik-cache, battery stats, rotate settings)
3. Download + Rename to "PC36IMG.zip" on SDCARD + (Boot into Recovery +Install) "GB v4.54.651.1.ZIP" http://db.tt/Ck6AB18E
If you want non Stock Recovery + Rooted:
1. Rename your "(AmonRa Recovery v3.11-gnm) PC36IMG.zip" to "PC36IMG.zip" again. (Boot into Recovery +Install). (cus Stock Rom changed you to STOCK Recovery)
2. (Boot into Recovery + Install) "Root (Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed).zip" www.mediafire.com/?16a07x3800wvak6

No need to revert to stock.
Use vr superwipe
Save the contents of your sd card to a computer, then reformat the sd card
Wipe everything on the wipe menu, then flash a new ROM.
copy the titanium backup directory back to your sd card and restore apps without data first, then restore data of any games or what not.
Problems should be fixed.

You have a lot of options here. As the preceding posts may have eluded to. Depending on how consistent and deep your issues are, there are different steps that need to be taken.
You can always wipe the ROM and reflash. Do a dirty flash, by just wiping cache and dalvik, then reflashing. That tends to be my temp work around sometimes.
Worst case I've seen is reverting to stock. Unrooting. And starting back over.
With any new ROM you'll need to reflash your mods. Becareful tho of what mods you're using. Not all are compatible across the board.

Did reformatting the SD card help? I just realized and did the same thing. It had been a good 3-4 from changes and about a year since I formatted my card.

It helps a lot. I reformat mine about every 3-6 months
