So I just rooted my device and then tried to install a lag fix... when I rebooted my phone after the script, I heard the T-Mobile jingle and then it came to a blank screen. When I pressed the power button there was no response. If I press any of the white keys at the bottom, they just light up. I CAN turn my phone off and go into recovery mode.
This thing has kind of shaken me up so I am willing to go back to an unrooted phone.
PLEASE HELP!
Nandroid, my friend.
Since you are able to boot into recovery, do a nandroid restore.
If you do not have your own nandroid backup There is a thread in the Dev forum you can dowload one from. Just search "[ROM] OFFICIAL T-Mo Vibrant JFD ODIN/Nandroid Backup Images 7/29/10 (Tested/Working)" (I can't hotlink yet. sorry)
This is all assuming you have installed clockwork recovery, which you should have done before you attempted any modding of any sort. Also always remember to create a nandroid of your current system before trying something that is still in beta.
i got same problem here and a don't have clockwork recovery :-(
Then you have to use odin if you don't have clockwork...
My phones have been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild..

I think I found a fix that works...
I just went to recovery mode, and deleted all user data.
I then rebooted and still had a blank screen for about 10 seconds, and then my lock screen came up.
Worked for me! Thanks everyone.

Sorry to resurrect old posts, but I would like to know If after rooting and lag fixing it, it didn't show ABSOLUTELY NOTHING on boot screen and you were only able to hear the sounds and the buttons lit up...
I have a Vibrant on this situation and would like to know I this procedure can fix it.
Best Regards.
Just wait 10 mins if nothing do a battery pull...boot...wait another 10. It will boot after that. Had same issue on two vibrants.

Hi. I were running a rooted stock rom with the newest radio and spl and ra recovery. I decided to try rom manager(i think thats what its called). I flashed the recovery, i believe it is called clockwork. When i rebooted my phone it just keeps rebooting at the htc logo. I cant enter recovery or anything. Is there a way out of this or can i just throw it in the dumpster?
Can you get into fastboot? Take the battery out and pop it back in. Then try powering on holding down back+power. You should get a screen with three Androids skateboarding. If you can get the port the information here. If you can and it just does the boot loop, do the battery again hitting the back button repeatedly, give that a few tries and see where it gets you.

So that means your device isn't fully bricked - your hardware seems to be working, and you should be able to restore the device using JTAG (search the forums). Though I managed to restore mine by resetting some stuff with draining battery and repeatedly trying again. I'd recommend you to try too.
I installed the latest build of Cyanogen Mod 7 on MyTouch 4G, and everything went smoothly, but now my phone won't turn on at all. Nothing happens when I hit the power button. Not even a splash screen which I thought was weird. I have a recovery file, but if I can't access the bootloader/recovery screen, can't really recover it.
Any suggestions? I luckily have a backup Windows phone 7 near me (HD2), but I'm just wondering if the MyTouch 4G can be recovered.
Thanks!
Edit: Also note, that I can't do anything, including hboot, fboot, get anywhere. It will not power on, and looks like it won't recharge as well.
Edit #2: Uh..looks like taking out the Sim Card worked.
Have you try pressing volume key down and power at the same time to get into Hboot then scroll down into recovery and wipe

For the longest time, I couldn't power it up until I took out the sim card. Which I finally figured out. I'm doing the wipe right now, thankfully. I'm trying to figure out now what I did wrong...
Thats gotta be scary im running cm7 now had no problems flashing any of the builds knock on wood lol

this happened to me earlier when i pushed/flashed/installed (whats the correct term here?) CM 6.1.2 on to my phone. i thought i did it right then i went to reboot and it just shut off. wouldnt turn on or anything. thought i ****ed up and bricked it. after taking battery/sd card/sim card out it worked though.
it was SO relieving.
Is CM7 not stable?
Battery Pull
All you have to do is a batt pull (no sim or ext. sd) and go into H Boot ( Hold bottom volume buttton and then power on button & hold until you see letters and release both buttons and you will be in H Boot) then hit recovery. If that doesnt work and your flash screen is stuck, go back to H Boot, hit recovery...wait for green letters up top, go down to backup and restore then hit restore.
I have the same problem

No, it doesn't power on or show the LED screen at all.
And also doesn't show up on ADB.
wrong recovery image
If you are flashing cyanogen 6, use clockworkmod 2..x. If you are flashing cyanogen 7, use clockworkmod 3..x
Not sure why some roms don't work on clockwork mod 2..x.... Maybe a limitation in a past clockworkmod which was fixed in a later version.

it's because clockworkmod recovery 2.x only flashes up to ext3 filesystems. the new clockworkmod recoveries, anything above v3.x has support for both ext3 and 4 filesystems. since cyanogenmod 7 has an ext 4 filesystem, the ROM will not flash correctly on clockworkmod 2.x.
I don't know if the phone is bricked, i sure hope not.
I had cm7 final running just fine. I was installing a kernel from clockwork recovery, and i followed the instructions. It installed, i told it to reboot the phone, it came to the cm7 blue booting screen. it kept repeating that for over 20 minutes. at that point i pulled the battery and replaced it. then i think it was stuck at the tmobile splash screen for a while. i was able to reboot and get to recovery mode again, i wiped cache and tried to install the kernel again, this time got an error. now it went to tmo splash screen and froze there for a while. after another battery pull, nothing will display on the screen and i cannot access recovery mode (i try by holding volume down, then holding power button). the ONLY thing that does happen is that the lcd backlight will stay on until i pull the battery. i plugged into pc without the battery, lcd lights up, but its not recognized by windows or adb.
I'd be grateful for any possible help or ideas, thanks in advance.
Could you give more info on Rom recovery kernel you were attempting etc?

Can you boot into the bootloader? Which one is installed? How can we help if we have no idea what's installed on your phone? There could be hope if you can boot into the bootloader and have the engineering SPL installed.
Also, what kernel were you trying to install?

He did? I only saw that he could not boot into recovery. I was thinking if his recovery is screwed up, he could still use fastboot to flash a new recovery and then be able to wipe and start over. If he can't get into the bootloader or recovery, then yeah, it's the dreaded B word.
I'd really like to know what kernel he was trying to flash.

I'm not sure if there's a different procedure to get into hboot as opposed to recovery. I've only had the mytouch 4g for about a week (always had Nexus one before). After pulling and replacing the battery, i hold volume down, then hold power button. Is that how to get into recovery and/or hboot, or is there another procedure I can try?
I used the visionary app to obtain root, install rom manager, then installed clockword mod recovery and cm7 through that. Working fine for a few days until i decided to flash the kernel to get better battery life....

Unfortunatly its the same procedure, hold volume down and power on. So if when u do that nothing happens and adb doesn't work your phone is done.

I'm not sure what the exact status of your phone is, but usually flashing a kernel does not brick the phone. If anything the ROM won't run right or there will be other problems, but never do they prevent the phone from booting into recovery (the recovery partition uses a completely different kernel). When you try turning it on again, don't bother trying to let it boot normally. Hold down power and volume down and see if you can get into recovery. Then run all three wipe options and flash a new ROM.

It's happened to me before where I thought I had completely bricked the phone. It crashed in CM7 RC2 when I tried to mess with the DSP settings. After that, I went through the same situation as you. I got tired of it, left it charging overnight while it was stuck on the splash screen. The next morning, it was on like nothing happened. I'm thinking it just needed to sort itself out. Not really a fix or suggestion, but at least an indication that there is hope.
Nah, its dead man. Not on its entirety but virtually. I know that JTAG could be an option albeit, im not sure.
I can assure you though that there must be something extra u must have missed that caused this, did you play with radio's or SPL's? Cause that is how i bricked a magic lol
blah
mine bricked on restoring. got to the point of not responding to anything - power button and even charge indicator no longer worked.
sorry to hear OP. it's bricked.

By saying that you used the visionary app to obtain root, is that all you did? Then installed rom manager and etc etc etc? Did you go through the full root method to get S=OFF as well?
Well previous to using visionary...i was trying another method to root using the terminal, but it wasn't working, so then i found visionary and used that. I never interacted with the phone using adb, if it matters. If i never really had s=off, could this be why this whole thing happened?

Not really, if you were able to run a custom ROM with no problems before then you were rooted properly. Somwhere after you must have gone wrong, not sure where

Hi, I have a really strange problem.
I had this build of MIUI on my phone for a few months, no problems
droidforums[.net]/forum/dro...-6-stable[.html]
but a few days ago, my phone started giving whacky battery readings (would drop from 40% to 5% in a few seconds) and i wanted to go into CWM to reset the battery stats.
So I had my phone plugged into my car charger, and when I booted into recovery, it didnt do anything, and the screen stayed black for a few minutes (I assumed it was out of power)
When it booted again, ALL OF MY DATA had been cleared and MIUI WAS NOT EVEN THE SAME AS THE ONE I HAD FLASHED. Same version number, sure, but completely different theme and boot animation. (I believe its currently the stock theme)
Well whats even wierder is that I have no data or wifi. Wifi gets stuck on "Obtaining IP address"
And whats even wierderer than than is that every time i boot my phone up, I am greeted with the android activation screen, no matter how many times I hit skip the set up
I obviously cant activate my phone without a connection
it also resets itself every time i turn it on. Any app that I install from my SD card will be gone.
It gets worse. Droid 2 bootstrap does nothing, even though it reports success. I cant use ROM manager as it has to install CWM from the server.
The reboot recovery option from the boot menu just reboots the phone, and there is no blue LED on boot that I can see to press volume down.
(Holding volume down gives me the android with the box and arrow, and nothing else, I know this has to do with recovery but not much else)
So can anyone tell me how to get CWM working again???
THANKS!
Does your MIUI have a boot menu? If it does you should see a light right before it goes to the boot animation.
