[Q] Updated to 2.2 and phone is stuck

Hey everyone,
So I just updated to 2.2 from a rooted lagfixed 2.1. I rooted it back with z4root before I did the update, but didnt remove lagfax - as I forgot about it.
Now the phone boots but stays with a blank screen, the bottom buttons lit, and vibrates ever few seconds.
What do you guys suggest I do to get this fixed? I would like to not lose the data I have on the phone.
Thanks
JP

Fixed it by rebooting to Odin, now going with team whiskey 2.2

Moderator please close thread

this happened when i updated. go to recovory and clear ALL USER DATA. it will reboot perfectly.

if that doesnt work then do a factory reset. itll restart with the phone updated.

haha 3rd post.... i meant HARD RESET. it works trust me,

Odin is your friend, know that before you do any flashing

Device soft brick after flashing rom

Hello all hope you will be able to help me.
Device : Nexus S I 9020
So basicly iam kinda new to whole this world of "android" former Iphone user.
last mounth i got my nexus S wich is my first android phone.
As soon as i got it i started to read guids and etc.
Root the device and ofc the nexy step was trying Rom`s.
but then a problem , every time i try to flash a rom i get status 7 error.
tryed every possible combination of restore / wipe etc...
nothing helped , so i came back to the stock one (backup i made before i started)
after a while i discovered the app Rom mananger , wich install rom update recovery etc...
so i updated my recovery and installed CM7 using it.
used it for a while and went back to the stock.
after cople of days tryed to install MIUI using rom manger every thing went clear and after the intall device reboot it self and then stuck on the Google logo with the lock in the botom of the screen.
and nothing helped since then restore , factory reset/restore / wipe`s etc.
as last resort i tryed Odin and it worked like a charm got my device back and runing.
today i tryed to install a new rom AOASP(i think , or some thing like that) in the first time from the recovery (several times) with every possible wipe.
all the time status 7 error , then went to rom mananger and again same thing.
stuck on the google logo.
now iam gonna use Odin again hope it will work this time too.
Any idea how to resolve it , or why this is happen ?
and how can i resolve the status 7 error and what does it mean ?
Thank you all.
(sorry for this been so long , wanted to give as much details as possible)

doesnt seem to be the same problem like i had.
Any way at this point i was able to restore my phone using Odin , and then restore it into my stock backup (including all my data and etc...)
but the problem remain the same.
cant install any rom (status 7 error).
and when i try to install any rom using Rom mananger iam stuck on the google logo after the reboot.
so what can i do ?

Problem solved by using Odin ro restore it and after that flash Nanbackup and finally updating the CWM recovery.
If any one get the problem try this

I would try flashing an original ROM through Odin and start again from scratch. If you look in the forum you will find all the info there. Did you look in the Lightning thread as there is a lot of info on boot loops and solutions.

Tried to install CM7 - now I can't get anywhere.

Hi all,
I'm having a little problem. I have researched but everything I've found leads me back to square one...
So I followed this guide to installing CM7 on my M2. Please note that I have in the past successfully rooted my phone, installed the Argenstone ROM and one other basic Great Britain Rom. So I'm not a total nub. However at this stage I have a phone that's is useless to me...
My phone is rooted. I have Droid2Bootstapper installed and I managed to get the CWM 3.X installed. I downloaded the all-in-one.zip file from the CM7 ROM thread (the zip is actually called EndlessCM7-110901-nightly_build.zip - hope that's not an issue?)
I booted into CWM and applied the EndlessCM7-110901-nightly_build.zip and after (without a reboot) wiped everything (I had backed it up previously).
I rebooted the phone and...well I get the Google logo with the Motorola M and the Cyanogen bot as the 2 'O' characters. Then after a while a 3D rotating 'square' and the android writing and logo 'shimmering' in and out but that just goes on forever. I left it for an hour at one point and just gave up.
Now I can't even get past the Google logo. I've tried restoring my previous back up but that won't work either. I can't boot into the OS to actually use RSD lite to flash a known working ROM over the top.
When the LED turns blue and I hit the volume key it displays "Android BootMenu <v1.0.3>" which is different to the CWM 3.X that I was getting prior to applying the EndlessCM7-110901-nightly_build.zip file.
From here I can select to recover the last 'latest recovery' which when done loads into CWM-based Recovery v4.0.1.6-defy.
Basically I'm at this point where I seem to be able to load just about every boot menu under the sun and do everything but actually launch the damn OS.
How can I get out of this hole? Preferably I'd like to get everything back to the stock ROM the phone came with so that I can start from scratch again.
Any bodies help would be more than appreciated.
Cheers,
- Matt
EDIT: I have even used CWM 4.X+ to try and restore the Argenstone ROM. it goes through the whole process of checking the MD5 sums, restoring the system and boot images etc and seems to work without any issues. I then wipe all data and reboot. Nothing - still the same cyanogen Google logo and the only thing I can do is boot into all the CWM menus.
*sigh*

Argh feel like a true idiot now. It took me about an hour of searching earlier but I've only just found/remembered how to get RSD lite to see my phone (pwr+volume+camera) and I'm wiping the whole thing to the factory (vodafone) ROM. Might take the opportunity to take it to Vodafone and tell them it never gets a damn 3G connection lol...provided this flash works (touch wood).

Bricked my phone: Can anybody help?

I upgraded the firmware on my phone to install Bad Boyz Oreo ROM. My phone did not like it. It sent the phone into a constant bootloop.
Since that time, I've tried everything. I'm not a noob to this. I was able to use a Sprint Nougat RUU, which installed successfully with no errors, but it stayed on the HTC green and white screen. No bootloop, just stayed on the screen. I installed TWRP, and flashed an older version of Viper ROM. It's just stuck ont he Venom logo. Not doing anything.
I'm downloading another RUU at the moment. Not sure it's going to do anything.
Can anybody get me to a point where the phone works again? I can't upgrade until July, and I am using my old M8 till I get this fixed.
Thanks!

Mother****er! I just installed Bad Boyz again, using the Magisk and it's booting. What's the issue using the SuperSU optionk

Can U plz provide a link of the same?
Hi there... i am too stuck on a bootloop since i tried updating to Oreo 8.0. Now i have got access only to the download mode. Would appreciate if u can guide how to get rid of the bootloop
