Device was updated with Evil Eclair 1.9...update went fine...reboot, and stuck at the Acer screen with the little stalker robots.
I have Malez Recovery installed. Ive tried both the battery removal then button combo as well as the button combo that gives you the two vibrations blahblah. Neither get me past the boot screen.
Any help?
To assist anyone who might have a similar issue, I was able to fix it by accessing the phone via the Acer Tool, while it was stuck in the boot screen. I flashed it to the 2.1 stock again, and all is well.
Probably you didn't wipe off data before flashing Evil.
Go to super boot and go to recovery mode then wipe all data then reflash the ROM. . This should work.
Or simply you can use Acer tools and update the BIN file (stock ROM) of your choice. This should work too: )

Any assistance is appreciated.
I rooted a few days ago and did the forever S-off. I have ROM Manager loaded and was poking around in the system. I downloaded Skyraider and ROM Manager asked me to reboot. Not thinking it wouldn't let me know what it was doing when in recovery before doing something the rom had been applied. Now the Phone has for 40+ minutes been at the "HTC Incredible" boot screen.
I have read not to pull the battery but The power Button and Volume button do nothing so I could really use some suggestions. As a little more info I have not flashed the radio yet so it was a 1.x radio that a 2.2 rom was just seemingly applied to.
Bricked or recoverable? I have a Nandroid backup if someone can help me get back to that point...
pull the battery out this happened to me before... pull it out and go into recovery mode ... first download on your pc 1.0 baseband .. then while in recovery load that into your sd...then install it to your phone... that will take your phone back to when you first got it out of the box... after that load up baseband 2.0 then root then raider
You could also try booting into cwm recovery and do a wipe data/cache
Did you get past the boot screen?
I am also stuck on the boot screen.
With some advising to pull the battery I did so. It did allow me to boot to recovery and I restored the backup I had taken. I am back up and running as if nothing had happened. I will revisit flashing the radio to the right version and trying the rom again soon.
A message popped up from Samsung to install an update (I had been pressing cancel for the past week on this update). It says click OK to reboot and apply update (something along those lines) so I do. Now I am stuck with a tablet that won't boot. If I hold the power button it says "Samsung Galaxy 10.1" after about 12 seconds, but then it goes away and back to darkness. Nothing else. Holding power and volume up does nothing.
Someone know what is going on and have any idea how to resolve?
The best way is to restore any backup you have from cwm recovery. Else grab a stock firmware and flash it with ODIN or if zip than CWM recovery. For luck, try clearing cache and data in recovery, first!Perhaps it may work saving you all fuss of flashing a firmware.
I cannot even boot that far too get into recovery. And I just noticed that although I can't boot, the backlight is on (on a solid black screen).... wtf
You can't hold volume down and power button to enter recovery?
Nope. I plugged into my computer and for some reason with the USB connectd it let me enter recovery. Flashed a backup and rebooted, but now I have no wifi... im confused.
it occured once to me when i tried to overclock, it never worked except when installing a new rom... Try to root the device and then install a new rom
OK, was a helluva night messing with ROM and kernel installs... I have yet to go back to completely stock (that's next up tonight, unfortunately), but I installed Starburst ROM and the Wifi still didn't work so I then installed pershoot's kernel and now when I boot the screen is extremely distorted kind of like this: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTsKa5IoQxnesGdUjykWDDggoQZ38yZ2VXSgPAQ09NOCnETzl9-
As a side note, when I say the wifi is not working, it still shows all networks and allows me to connect just like normal. However when connected no apps can access the network...
Can someone point me to a thread on how to revert EVERYTHING back to stock so I can start fresh? TIA!!

Should have all the files you need. From where you are now I would flash the stock OTA 3.1 or TW then flash the stock recovery and do a factory reset from that recovery. That should get rid of the garbled screen.
Thanks buddy. On my way to grab the files now
I heard the update was pulled as it sometimes rewrites the bootloader improperly. You might need to send it in, unfortunately.
hi all
i recently got my phone rooted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238070) using this method for the gingerbread stock i dont remember which step but its for rooting gingerbread...after successfully rooting phone i wanted to make a backup of my nandroid...that seem like a process...the recovery mode didnt have backup/restore option...so i was in the rom manager app and changed the flash recovery model (its the very last one on the rom manager) after doing that, it went into reboot but never leaves the "samsung" screen....so i took the battery out and was able to get into the recovery holding down both up/down and power button...and did a backup of current rom (stock)...and then select to reboot which still stays onto the "samsung" screen...so i am stuck and i dont know what to do anymore...or is a simple flashing a stock rom would fix it?

I have an a500 with a thor 3.2 rom. I recently used CWM to reset to factory to install the Thor ICS v170 rom. I got an error when restarting into recovery to install it so I restarted again. There it hung up on the logo. So I restarted into recovery holding the power and volume down, but here is where it goes nuts. Once into recovery, the tablet vibrates nonstop and a Team Rogue logo comes up in the background and gives me errors for reading system data and cache. It gives me menu items listen but doesnt let me do anything and I have to Hold power to power down. Still even restarting doesnt get past the Acer boot logo. Please help me out!

That's what happens when you run stuff from Dev's that don't adhere to GPL. Undoubtedly some leftover code from whomever it was taken from and "somebody" didn't bother to clean it out all the way. FYI, Team Rogue did ICS development for the Xoom tablet, and also some early CWM work. Guess we know where "somebody" got some code from
Ok, back to your current issue at hand. For starters, you're probably still on an HC Bootloader and probably running a really old version of CWM recovery. If you are going to run ICS or JB roms, I highly suggest you upgrade your bootloader to the patched ICS Unlocked bootloader. Also, I would update to the latest version of CWM. You can get it at his site.
I believe your next rom may be able to run on an HC bootloader, or so I've heard, but your CWM needs to be updated, and that's what probably threw out the errors.
You can find a guide for the unlocked bootloader installation in the Dev Forum. It's stickied.
Hope this fixes your issue. If not, post back.

Yeah, its strange but doesn't surprise me.
OP, your partitions are also undoubtedly messed up as well. I suppose you didn't by chance write down your UID number did you? You may be able to get by with installing an ICS full update zip. Maybe.

I wouldn't think it is 100% bricked, but I'd definitely ask on tegraowners.com since it is from one of their recovery/roms. Guess you may have already asked Thor about the issue though?
I have my cpuid but when i run the dotnetdetector to update the usb doesnt stay connected long at all.

Are you trying to manipulate the A500 from a Windows PC or Linux? Notice you said Dotnetdetector, sounds like windows, but not familiar with it exactly. Maybe you could try using a live linux distribution (such as Ubuntu or Fedora) to try to get fastboot/adb and reflash the recovery partition with a known working recovery for A500. The teamrogue thing still puzzles me and I'm just curious if bits of Team Rogue's code has been pieced in with the A500 recovery you are trying to use, or if you may have got a hold of a recovery that was for a different device ? I'm not trying to say that you are a nub and flashed a recovery for the wrong device, but there is a possibility depending on where you obtained the rom from, that it could have been mis-labeled for your device ( but been for a different one) If it was for a diff device it would make sense why you can't do anything with it.
Let me get it straight how this happened.
1. You had CWM installed for A500 and recovery was working fine
2. You used CWM to try to flash a Thor ROM, in which the installation failed.
3. After reboot you have nothing but the Acer logo
4. When you boot back into recovery, it is no longer CWM, but a Team Rogue logo is displayed, and that is all you see?
That's the way I interpret the issue you are having anyway. Can you please send me a link to the ROM that you tried to install that triggered all of this. That way I can see exactly what the installer script attempted to do (because it very well could have tried to flash a diff recovery to your device and failed on something else)
Hope we can get things straightened up for you. Good luck again bud
Hi, today for the first time I tried to flash a custom rom
at the ROM installation guide it said that I must have TWRP 2.7, so I installed that and wiped Dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
Did not touch internal storage.
I rebooted because I felt kinda lost at the baseband part. but now it's stuck on the LG logo, with the LED light working with rainbow colors (like the phone always does when I turn it on, but it has no OS now..)
I tried getting into recovery/download mode with no success, what can I do now?
How can I get back into recovery mode?
Hope someone can help :fingers-crossed: Thanks!

make sure your phone is powered off entirely and then
How To Reboot Recovery - LG G2
1.Turn your phone off.
2.Press volume down and power button until the LG logo comes on screen
3.Let go of both buttons
4.Hold the volume down and power buttons again until you see the "hard reset screen"
5.Press power once and then power again to confirm. The screen says it will reset your device but it will not as long as you have a custom recovery installed.
6.Your custom recovery should appear on screen.
If that doesn't work then you are going to have to go back to stock
I tried going back to stock but no success, the software is not recognizing the phone...
I also looked for videos on youtube, but couldn't find someone with simillar problem to mine.
Nevermind, figured it out.

If you don't mind. What did it for you? Once I install CWM or TWRP, I can boot to recovery by cannot get the system to boot - EVER - without getting stuck at the LG LOGO. The only way I can recover at that point is to use the LGFlashTool and start from scratch.
Thanks!
