I beleive my phone is bricked... i flashed eugenes vibrant7, it kept freezing up like a minute after i booted it up. I figured is what something wrong with the rom..so i flashed my nan restore of vibrant6 and it worked for about an hour, then it started doing the same thing.. they i did a nan restore i had of my stock rom, and now it wont get past the vibrant loading page.. What should i do?
EDIT: I cannot get into download mode... help please
Use odin and flash back to stock, and make sure you follow directions carefully!
search for [ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working) in the developement thread
Alright, ill check it out
It will not let me get into download mode..
turn off your phone, plug in charger wait for the battery indicator, hold volume up and volume down then press and hold power, wait for the screen to turn black and then release power button
I'm having the same exact problem, vibrant7 freezes after a while, tried to go back to the nandroid backup image 7/29/10 thread but it's not booting past the vibrant screen.
I can always go back to vibrant7 but i would like to go back to the nandroid backup
EDIT: I think the freezing problem is becuase of the overclocking kernel. i installed setcpu and left it a 1000 and so far it's working great(about 3 hours using it), i will update if still freezes later on today.

Have you applied the lag fix on vibrant 7?
PS. Mine still working like a charm.
Lag FIX Commands for ADB
adb shell
su
mv /system/bin/userinit.sh /system/bin/used
reboot
Follow install commads
busybox dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/dataimg bs=1024 count=1048576
busybox mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0
busybox losetup /dev/loop0 /data/dataimg
busybox mkfs.ext2 /dev/loop0
mkdir /data/data1
& then once everything is done..
mv /system/bin/used /system/bin/userinit.sh
reboot
The reason why the phone freezes on the vibrant screen is because vibrant7 uses a different kernel. this makes the nandroid backups useless, unless you go back to the stock kernel.
I used Odin to flash stock firmware. Then I installed Vibrant7 followed by lag fix via oclf.apk. Haven't had any problems.

Yikes I just read in Eugene's thread that some CPUs cannot handle the OC. He posted a .zip with the stock kernel that you can flash via clockword mod. I think I'm going to go ahead and do it.
As for Google maps, I have noticed that if I open it with GPS turned off then turn GPS on the phone completely hangs and I have to pull my battery. Though this has been happening since I got the phone,with or without custom roms.

Anyone else having this problem?
I'm using Unrevoked 3.1 on Windows XP.
I've got USB debugging on and the drivers installed.
The phone reboots into HBoot but then never goes into recovery. Just reboots.
Anyone else having this problem? It is definitely screwing me over for 2.2 haha.

Superuser will not install. Unrevoked just reboots the phone it seems... never going into the custom recovery or flashing SU.
Which is my problem haha. I want 2.2 but can't flash it without root.
If I lose root because of this and am the only one I'm not going to be a happy camper lol

After reading 700+ pages of the other thread I have decided to steer clear from the buggy-beta and wait for the OTA, but I have had trouble with v3.1 and a regular reboot, so I wanted to chime in with 1 question:
Is your phone hot while this is happening?
I returned my Incredible due to excessive heat triggering reboots. When the phone was in the warm-to-hot zone, I could NEVER get into recovery. I could get into HBOOT, choose recovery, and then it would do 2 reboots, the second one being a regular.
Only way i could get into recovery was with a fully charged overnight battery, first thing in the morning (phone nice and cool).
Just got into it. used the custom image... the new 2.5.0.4 (if I'm not mistaken).
It was weird, and it may not be the image... it may have just taken like 10 tries to do it.
I'm not even wasting my time loading the OS... just putting on Froyo right now while in clockwork.
Crossing my fingers that it loads!

having trouble after i got the new ota loaded. I get to the reboot phone reboots then unrevoked says waiting for phone to reboot any ideas didn't have this problem before?
edit: never mind got restarted computer life is good now
I am having the same issue. I have installed the drivers, then when I run the reflash tool it reboots my phone after about 3 seconds and loads up HBOOT and then from there it reboots my phone and the reflash tool either says "waiting on phone to reboot" or "installing image" or something like that but it just sits there for hours and doesn't progress. I have debugging enabled.
To add a little history, I already rooted using the hard method awhile back and then unrooted. Now I am trying to root again and can't.
I tried uploading Froyo to my mytouch 3g. I rooted the phone using the one click method and backed up and flashed the new rom. Upon reboot, the rom wouldn't start up so I recovered and restored all previous settings. I found a new rom and went into recovery but i see the dreaded white triangle, but if I turn it on normal it starts up into the original rom fine and is still rooted. How do I get my recovery back? I am also running ROM manager.
Just reflash the recovery from ROM Manager.

Seems to me like his phone keeps reinstalling the stock recovery upon reboot or rom manager isn't flashing properly, and probably needs to do it manually with "flash_image". . .
( I posted a way to fix the flashing recovery issue before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428838 )
First of all, u didnt described ur problem clearly. then, i think your recovery mode is ok, the thing is you couldn't go through that. did you tried to go to the recovery by holding home+power down key together? then the picture of a phone and a triangle with (!) mark comes up, release the keys and then press them together, hope you will solve ur problem through that.and for making ur phone faster, try bananabread 3.1 , right now i am using that. good luck
I updated to EI22, stock w/OTA update. I then rooted and things were working great. Then about 1 week ago, I did a CWM backup and when I restarted the phone just kept automatically rebooting approx. every 3 -4 minutes. I could not stop it no matter what I did. Then I restored the backup and it worked fine. A few days later, I turned the power off to put in a my extra battery, and when I turned it on, the same thing happened. I had to restore twice fir it to stop this time. Then this morning, I did a reboot to see what would happen, and again it happened. Mind you it was working flawless before I restarted it. I have tried everything from removing programs, turning off the wifi, leaving the battery out for a half hour, but nothing. Sometimes after it reboots, I leave it alone for 15 minutes and then when I hit the power button, it just restarts.
Any ideas before I put back froyo??
Sounds like a bad flash. I would Odin all the way to Stock EC05 then root then flash a Gingerbread ROM. Your error is either in the kernel or recovery to happen immediately after boot. It could even be a flaky partition table.

OK. Funny, I flashed backed to a stock EC05 and did the OTA update so as to possible avoid any problems like this.

I figured that but the problem may lie in the rooting which required you to flash a kernel or in your recovery module.

ADW was nice enough to bring up a crash report that I emailed myself. In the stack trace I see that android Package manager has died as a cause of the exception. I am not a java programmer so am at a loss here to what's happening.

So I flashed to the ACS ICS rom and so far no problems. What a great ROM!! Many thanks to Marcusant and ACS.

don't use the OTA.
just root ec05, flash CWM 5, flash modem update ec05 to EI22, flash a rom of your choosing. it's that simple. i don't see why people go the OTA route. it just causes problems with the recovery.
EDIT: also if you want Rom manager, check the kernel(or rom) for compatibility.

It was not supported for the Epic before but with the new CWM5 it is. It is much faster to boot into recovery from ROM Manager rather than powering down and 3 fingering into it. Plus ROM Manager supports renaming your backups when you are doing them. Also ROM Manager will continuously update your CWM if new versions come out. There is also OTA updates available if the developer supports it on their ROM.
No matter what I do... no matter what ROM I flash to, and I have tried 4 different ROMs, I keep getting the UI Stops Working error and then my phone is virtually non-functional. The notifications, navigation, and launcher bars go away and I cannot do anything. The only thing that I can do is boot into recovery and then flash a new ROM, BUT I have been doing this a couple times a day.
I even formatted my entire phone, internal storage and all, started completely over AND YET I still get the issue. What can I do???

When I meant started over I was yes referring to the booting to recovery and then wiping/formatting everything, then reflashing a ROM. That works, but I just am nervous now because the issue persists no matter the ROM. Sometimes it takes a day or two or sometimes it happens even quicker than that. I think it might be Facebook so I am not installing that app again. Why FB works on my Nexus 7 tablet and my wife's phone just fine is beyond me.
I didn't know I can make a backup of systemui.apk and restore it to make it work. I wish we could find the main issue to begin with so we can resolve this once-and-for-all.

Yea I backup everything on my external hard drive (that after I back anything up I bubble wrap and put in my fire safe< a bit paranoid) every week, so that if anything happens I can just wipe it clean and start fresh (I have never used rsd lite but I'm guessing its somewhat like option one of Matt's utility) that restores your phone to a moto flashed like state... ready to be sold as a certified like new device (as Verizon would call it)...

Are you mounting system in TWRP, before you wipe data? For some reason, I stopped doing this when I updated to the newer TWRP. There was a thread on here where someone said they mounted prior to wiping and it solved their 4.3 issues. I tried it and it worked for me. I would suggest you try the same.

this reverts you completely back to stock. You will lose all your data but you did back up regularly, right?
(edit) you only have to hold the volume UP key while plugging in the USB on a D801 to get into download mode.
Make sure you've disconnected usb when attempting to enter recovery. Hope the silence means you've sorted it out!

If you're trying to unpack the ROM try redownloading the rom.
You're saying that you have CM installed? I had this exact problem and I had PA installed.. it was a mess. I had to sideload the original ROM because to flash with that program your build.prop has to be the original information when you received the phone or else the program will throw a "different phone model"
Do you have the LG usb drivers? Install all proper USB drivers and try to sideload an original ROM.
BTW do you have any backups? Restoring also gets you out of this mess
never mind i opened the wrong folder thanks for everything guys it worked perfectly ^.^
