Think I messed up.

I rooted my hero today and followed all instructions and everything went perfect. I am trying to flash Damage Control 2.08 and followed all the instructions, but my phone stays locked on the white htc quietly brilliant screen and then restarts with the sprint logo and repeat. Its been doing this for about 20 mins now and just wondering is this normal for first ROM or is something wrong?

did you
1) search the forums?
2) wipe /factory reset before flashing?

No it should not keep boot looping. Wipe everything all over and then flash the Rom again. It will probably take between 5 to 10 minutes. Also is your SD card partitioned for a2sd?

I searched but didn't find anything. The first time I tried to flash I had forgot to wipe, but when it wouldn't load past boot I restarted in boot and wiped. Then tried to flash the ROM again. It went past boot but now continues the same pattern with white htc screen and sprint logo.

did you
1) search the forums?
2) wipe /factory reset before flashing?

Why are people so anal about searching the forums. If you don't want to help then don't help. Just ignore the post and move on with your life.

My suggestion would be to redownload the Rom (maybe it got corrupt) and put it on your SD card then wipe wipe wipe and flash.

Try wiping EXT. As a rule I wipe Data, Dalvik, and EXT before flashing.

I'm trying to flash the live wallpapers that he gave seperate with the ROM. Does it matter if I try to flash both at the same time?

Id let it boot, then reboot just to be safe. Thats 2 full boots, then flash. Also: some of the OpenGL fixes break 3D games, Google Nav, etc.

Flash the main Rom. Then let it boot all the way to completion, sign into your Google account then reboot after everything is loaded. Now apply the livewallpapper update from recovery.

I have tried this and still have the same problem. I tried to do a nand restore also but it says i need to use adb for that.

It finally went through and is now loading but my battery level is ridiculously dead now. Thank You for your help.

Rooted MyTouch 4G CM7 issue.

I have recently rooted and installed CM7 RC1 on my MyTouch 4G everything seemed to be going well for the first about 30 mins i got gapps installed (manually btw) but suddenly after the phone started to install apps from the android marketplace i can no longer long press on the home screen nor can i move widgets i can still feel the haptic feedback but no response.

Sounds like a bad install, reinstall clear all user data, cache, dalvik-cache and fix permissions before booting back up.

Thanks ill try that right now and come back with any other issues. That presist after re-install.
Also wanted to state that for installing Gapps i had to do it the Manual way if that matters or if anybody is having trouble installing them.

No i mean instead of having RomManager do it i did it manually in recovery.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I never do anything important like that in rom manager, always boot into recovery.

i had that same problem and it was a simple fix on my part. i actually had accidently hit lock desktop under the more menu on the desktop screen. u can long press and nothing happens or cant move widgets while the desktop is locked. try seeing under the desktop menu if it is locked if so unlock it and that should work. hope this helps some

Please help me fix my droid x!

I have a droid x that I went into settings on and did the factory reset. When it rebooted, a screen came up that asked for the phone number so it could be activated. Since there is no phone number, because its not active yet and I didn't know how else to get it past this screen, this is how I left it. Until today, when I took it somewhere to have it flashed to cricket. The guy did whatever it was to get outta that screen. Then he showed me that it would go to the lockscreen. When unlocked, the status bar is at the top, but the rest of the screen is black. None of the buttons do anything either. He said that it looked like it had no OS on it. I need a link to dl a stock rom from onto the memory card, using my m860. Then I need to know the button combination that will get me into the bootloader menu on the DX, THEN, seeing as I'm pretty new to the world of Android, I may need the steps that will successfully fix my DX. Thanks for reading. I greatly appreciate any help that you could offer.

I'm having the exact same problem with the DX. Im in for some answers on how to fix this problem.

Google search how to sbf for your system version

I actually figured out a way to fix this on my own. If I held down the home button, I got the option to use voice services, which I used to access "my files" where I installed titanium backup from the sd card. Then used TB to restore all apps and settings. Then viola! Now my problem is I downloaded the gummyjar 2.5 custom rom to my sd card using CW rom manager, but whenever I try to install, instead of rebooting into recovery mode, it just reboots and does nothing special. How can I get this phone to boot into recovery?

Ummm, actually, my phone IS rooted. If you had read my previous post, you should know that. You can't use Titanium Backup on an unrooted phone.

How did you get titanium backup on your sd card? Im literally in the same situation as you man, and cannot figure this out.

Yes, he is obviously rooted lol.
You gotta use koush's droid x bootstrapper app to get into cwm recovery. First hit bootstrap recovery. Then after it says "success" hit reboot recovery.

I already had it on mine. I backed everything up before i did anything. You can get it on your card via another phone or computer, but I don't know if it'll help bc you don't have anything backed up.

I found this and d'led it, but when I try to install it, I get a parsing error. I'm getting so frustrated with this phone, I'm almost ready to just sell it!

NOW, my dx is really acting crazy! I did a factory reset so I could set up my gmail account. Everything was working fine for a while, then the phone just randomly reboots. When it started back up, it had all the settings that were on there before I did the reset on it. Very frustrating. Thinking about just selling it and buying something better, I just don't know which phone I should think about buying!

"Selling it and buying something better" will not help you understand smartphone modification. If you would just be patient and do lots of reading, everything would go smoothly!

I use an iphone 4. I was just trying to fix this droid x. Thanks for the help, I need a linux computer though. Er.

ClockworkMod Recovery Problem in GB leak.

I am assuming this may be something simple to most but I can't figure it out.
In the rooted version of GB I just flat out can't get into CWR.
I have tried all different button combos at startup as well as the Reboot into recovery option in Rom Manager and just can't get there.
Suggestions?

Use the droid 2 bootstrap,i was having problems with the rom manager one too, the droid 2 bootstrap works fine

I wholeheartedly agree he is a great dev! And for that I have already donated a considerable amount of cash to his beer fund.

I'm sorry...I just had to comment because this made me laugh. I'm assuming you meant 'pay' but just the mere thought of having to party for an app made me chuckle. I'll party for apps all day lol.

See my signature for free apps.

Problem solved. Thanks everyone

I found out that if you turn off debugging on the phone the DX Bootstrap will work fine.

Phone Hangs on Motorola Logo
Hi folks,
I flashed a ROM through ROM Manager and told it to back up, wipe, etc... it went through all the steps... backed up the old ROM... installed the new one..
Now it hangs on Boot at the Motorola Logo. Won't go any further and the phone will not boot back into Clockwork Recovery. All that happens is the default Blue recovery panel comes up and only lets me select to flash update.zip.
This of course does not work and installation aborts.
Any ideas here?
Thanks,
Chris

When you get into stock recovery, perform a factory reset/wipe multiple times. It works the same as Clockwork on this aspect.

I have the same problem. Ron manager never got me into cwm. I can use bootstrap to get into cwm but it will only allow me to use the volume buttons. When I use the power button it will appear to work but all that happens is the screen flashes. I have Uninstalled Rom manager but I think I have to delete the cwm file for it to actually function. Anyone have some ideas.

[Q] Not rooted bootloop?

Ok so this is on my wife's phone that I have not touched, I have a vibrant that is rooted and I flash different things all the time, and recovered from several bootloops, so I'm not totally new to this. As soon as you turn the phone on it goes to the my touch 4g screen, vibrates, and then reboots. I can get into hboot screen but if I try to go to recovery or do a factory reset it just bootloops again. I did some searching but saw nothing about an unrooted phone bootlooping. Any help is greatly apreciated.

Try this... pull the battery. Let it sit for 20 minutes. Then try booting it. Sounds like a dell tech support answer... but it has actually worked for more than a few people.

Ok so I found PD15img.zip and tried loading it and installed fine but same problem, so I'm not trying to install factory recovery through adb and fastboot and I've got all the files but fastboot will not recognize the device (yes drivers are installed). Any suggestions before I call HTC/tmobile in the morning?

Well, you could try the suggestion from the poster above..and if you did leave feedback.

If the pd15img.zip isn't working sounds like an internal storage issue. If that's the case there is nothing u can do. Call T-Mobile not HTC.

Thanks for everyone's help. Left the battery out all night and same thing this morning. Called t-mobile and they're shipping a new one for free, which surprised me since we bought the phone off eBay. Thanks again.
