I know there are alot of soft brick threads but so far none of the methods have helped me.
I installed bonix 1.6 w/ voodoo and it worked just fine. I didnt like it, so i went into rom manager and told it to flash my recovery that i did before the rom. well when it did this it failed half way through. when i rebooted the stock lock screen came up with the stock wallpaper. but then alot of force closes came up (im assuming because it didnt put everything back on the phone after fail).
I have tryed to flash stock roms, fryo 2.2, j16 roms and still nothing. when the phone boots after oden flash it goes through the bootup process and then goes to a blank screen. when i touch one of the buttons on bottom they all light up and stay on.
oh and i have stock recovery....
am i screwed? and thank you in advance for anything that is helpfull
Did you disable voodoo before flashing the recovery?
i disabled it before i flashed bonix but i didnt before i flashed recovery
anyone? anything?
check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782027
now go to "Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out."
And I recommend step 1 it won't take more than 20 minutes, been there, done that.
thank you!! worked great

So i tried to flash a rom like a normally do and i get stuck on the green screen.
I noticed now when flashing a rom is takes alot longer to flash then it usually did , i wiped pulled battery multiple times and still the same results. If i try to flash a froyo rom it will stay on the mytouch screen for a few secs and reboot to recovery mode on its own. every other rom just gets stuck and will not move. im limited to only recovery mode and Fastboot , are their any simple fixes that can be done and thanks in advance.

Have you tried fixing apk uids? I've also heard you can use the bootloader to do a more thorough wipe.
If I were in your situation I would apply sappimg to unroot and start over.

im fairly new so i only know how to flash roms . outside of that im pretty much clueless. I tried flashing a new radio & when it tells me to reboot to complete installation it says no more room or somthing like that. it does it really quick so i cant tell. Also how would i go about unrooting?
EDIT .. ok unrooted the phone and it seemed to have done the trick.

Glad you're still operational. Now you can retrace your steps and figure out where you went wrong. I also had to unroot and go back to Cupcake before I successfully completed my first rooting.
If you're just flashing ROMs, I would stay away from updating the radio unless the developer specifically says you should.
Hey guys i know "Help!" threads get annoying (at least in the Fascinate forum they do.) but i could really use some help.
Rooted my friends phone today (root,clockwork,rom manager), and was going to install regular JAC kernal /voodoo w/o color fix.. I made sure the phone had the smaller NAND chip. Installation went fine (phone booted, voice told me it was switching to ext. 4.) and the voice said voodoo was complete. The phone was stuck at the S logo for about an hour and it was then i decided voodoo was botched. From there i rebooted to clockwork and went to restore the nandroid i made when i rooted. The nandroid got stock at one of the Data files for about 30 minutes. (i have a feeling this is around where i messed things up myself) Decided screw it and was going to flash JI6(T959UVJI6) and the stock kernal with ODIN. Now the phone boots past the S logo but the screen stays black and only the backlight menu buttons light up. It wont go past there. Any quick help is appreciated.
You didn't disable the lagfix I'm assuming.
Odin Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick, then Odin JFD, install ROM of you're choosing.
Did you even try to search for a fix before posting???

If you can still boot into clockwork recov. you can save it by pushing the undo voodoo zip file that was mentioned about. Assuming that u have adb access. If not odin froyo that doesnt brick tepartition checked. Turn off. Boot back in download. Odin stock jdf. Ji6 isnt a standalone rom. Its more like a no wipe update. Lucky his vibrant wasnt hardware locked lol. He will have a 90% chance of losing EVERYTHING
Had to odin flash froyo that doesnt brick then jfd and yep he lost all his data but he didnt have much to begin with. Now happily running Fusion. Thanks for the help guys!
Hey!
I'm a tinker'er' by nature and wanted to try out a few different ROM's. I followed guides and installed ClockWorkRecovery, etc. Made a Nandroid backup and started flashing away.
Tried Nero and Auxura and decided that neither was for me. Great work, BTW. I know both of those ROM's use Voodoo and the stock ROM does NOT - I was careful to follow instructions when flashing between the two and disabled Voodoo before trying to go back to stock.
I booted into CWR and went to "restore" and did a restore based off of my Stock ROM...which seemingly went fine . Phone goes through the T-Mobile splash screen and is booted up now, but I cannot get the screen to unlock. It goes off, comes back on and is stuck on the lock screen no matter how many times I attempt to "Sweep screen to unlock".
I've booted into CWR successfully and did a "Factory Wipe" and then another Nandroid restore and same problem. Do I need to give this thing more time, or what? It keeps waking up, vibrating and then going back to sleep.
Any help? I kinda need my phone to work (partly why I'm going back to stock ) Should I be following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737?
EDIT: Used the guide posted in this exact post worked great - thanks guys, I did read the Bible and that's what lead me to a correct "unbrick"
If your nand backup is from stock 2.1, then that's your problem. You need to flash a 2.1 kernel.

Disable voodoo (if you haven't) Then reflash with Odin Eugene's Froyo that does not brick, then flash (Odin) back to stock. That should get you back ok. Please look at the bible and stickys they have all the needed instructions there
Good luck
I have a (TMO) Vibrant & Rooted with super one click. Installed ROM Manager/Flashed CWM. Made a backup & Have been trying to install multiple ROMs.
I have had no luck. When I boot into Recovery it shows options of :
Reboot now
Reinstall Packages
Then delete/clear options.
I have clicked reinstall and it just keeps going back to the same screen after loading about 1/4 of the way. SO after trying about 6x in a row. I reboot and read some more. No luck. Am I missing glaring step or what? Also the bottom reads : a problem with verification signature. My phone reboot fine? I put the ROM my internal & external SD cards trying it both ways. Any help would be great.
Be gentle.
Sounds like you need to get the 2e recovery. Check the Bible for modified recovery

How do i install the 3e recovery? its not doing anything different. I have on my internal sdcard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925400
follow EVERY step
the problem is the 3e recovery. You can follow the above link as a guide.
I personally prefer to odin to jfd (2.1)... it has the 2e recovery. You can then root and flash very easily. Check that link and my signature. Either way should work.
The bottom line is, you WILL be having to ODIN back at some point during your flashing career; and the sooner you do it, the better off you are. I would flash back to stock 2.1 with ODIN and root from there. Trust me..
I don't know about odin, I haven't had to yet do that after rooting, flashing bionix 1.3.1 then going to bi-winning 3 then back to bionix. However, I do know I had the same p.i.t.a. process to get CWM to work. I will tell you though, once you get it working, it stays working, so you only have to go thru the whole process once.
I've been there, and i can tell you it's frustrating, but the reward is worth it.
Well, I used 3e Recovery & it installed no problem...then I tried to flash AOSP No Frills and it was installing......Became stuck in Boot Loop with Vibrant screen & Red ??Glitch?? screen. Tried to restore. no luck. Pulled Battery & phone froze on non-moving circular pattern.
Flashed Odin with battery pulled then installed battery with volume buttons held in. I flashed it after getting the downloading screen. After about 5 tries it work. im back at stock eclair 2.1update1.
So you guys are say i should keep 2.1 / reinstall rom manager/titanium/supermanager/ make a backup then try and flash a rom.
use 2e instead of 3e recovery?
I was a little nervous at first, but XDA forums came to the rescue. I just kept reading and followed instructions from past posts. Thanks to everyone.
Well i followed the NOOB GUIDE & used manual management to install ROM. So far so good...let it set in for 10 minutes. I flashed Trigger 3.2 Final . I think messing up the first time helped me learn more & become less nervous. Waiting.....finally..Working great! Thanks again to all the XDA resources.
Ok, I just started experiencing an issue. I suddenly can't get into recovery. Here is a little back history. My N7 was running CNA 3.6.6 (I know, but...), and I was bored so I decided to try ParanoidAndroid. Well, I have that gotta try something else feeling again, and when I try to get into recovery, it will go to the google screen, then go black for about 10 seconds, then go back to the Google screen and boot up. This happens if I reboot to recovery through the power menu, or getting into recovery from the bootloader. I even tried Quick Boot, in hopes it had some magic I didn't. No luck. The same crap. I even switched from TWRP to clockwork recoveries, and the same crap happens (I tried the same things I did originally).
Also tried through other apps too, like Rom Manager, Rom Toolbox, and TiBu. Everything works, but I am bored with this rom... I have tried turning it off, plugging the N7 into a PC and trying to get into recovery. Again, I can get into the bootloader, but as soon as I select recovery, it goes black, then fully reboots...
Anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried re-flashing a recovery image, eg TWRP 2.3, from fastboot?

Scheiße, I reflashed TWRP in fastboot, and I am getting the same result. I think my N7 forgot it has a recovery!? I will try flashing clockwork through fastboot and see if this works. Thanks for your help...
Edit: Clockwork does not help. There is no recovery for me. I am now at a loss. Hopefully someone will have some suggestions...
Finally got my recovery back...damn latest bootloader!
Yeah, this has sucked. I have spent several hours figuring out what the hell went wrong. It turns out its the latest bootloader. Others are having this issue. So, I had to go back to stock (which will erase EVERYTHING) and then had to re-root. Now that my bootloader is back to JRO03D, I am back up and running.
So, the first time I did this route, I decided to take the update and re-root my N7, and ran into the same issue. I could not get into recovery. So, I had to do it all over, this time not taking the update and not updating the bootloaders, and I am now back and already have a ROM running and everything installed.
If you want to go this route, here are a couple of links that will help...
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28544-guide-nexus-7-bootloadersrecoveriesrootback-to-stock/#entry764328 and go to the Back To Stock section. The next part is for rooting (if you wish to do this yourself)...
