I need help please... messed up loaded ROMs

Basically I unlocked bootloader and tried to load ROM. I tried the Desire and Cynagen. I was not successful at either. I manage to do a factory reset and the phone is working, except my wi-fi is shot, and when i recieve the initial OTA update it starts to download and then stops and I get the triangle of death as I call it with the lil android guy. I realy dont know what the hell Im doing and I need inch by inch restoring ROM for dummies instruction. I would like to go back to stock.I have been in threads but i get lost on certain things. I dont know what a adb is or how to acess it. I did read the noobies guide.. Please help as I am ready to chuck this thing out the window, i love my N1
I have searched the ORIGINAL SHIPPING TUTORIAL
and one other thread but i guess i cant post links.

did you try to load rom in the recovery img? This also happened to me (triangle with the android guy) and I thought I couldnt flash custom roms. For some reason the regular reboot to recovery mode gives me the triangle of death as you call it.
I got around this by loading in into bootloader mode then going to my command console, getting to my skd tools folder, and then typing
fastboot boot (whatever recovery img you used)
Then everything worked perfectly.

They are going to move this to General....
You did not follow the steps correctly it sounds.
Did you Load Amon Ras Recovery?
IF YES,
GO into Recovery
WIPE data
Flash Cyanogen's Latest ROM
Flash Google Apps available on Cyanogen's front page Post
In future ALWAYS nandroid Backup...
If you did not load Amon Ra's Recovery, you should go do this from fastboot.

I'll try to explain it to you:
1. The Bootloader is unlocked (you see the open lock at the first screen)? If you don't see the lock this is the first you should do or send it directly in for repair!
2. Then you have to flash the Recovery ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829) This you need to flash an update.zip Exact instalation guide is in the Link.
3. The ROM. If you want Stock then here you'll find it as an update.zip: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...-online-kitchen-optional-root-insecure-himem/
Choose one without includet Radio ROM!!! (See below why!)
4. Copy the ROM to your SD Card Root
5. Go into Recovery ROM (Vol Down with Power and then select recovery with the Volume button). There you select wipe and choose the first entry there (wipe data and cache)
6. Stay in Recovery ROM and selct Flash from update.zip and select the update.zip. Wait until everything is done and you are promted to reset your N1.
(DON'T MESS AROUND WITH THE RADIO ROM IF YOU DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING. DON'T UNDERSTAND ME WRONG, I THINK YOU HAVE NO GLIMPS WHAT YOU ARE DOING SO BETTER LEAVE THE RADIO ROM ALONE!!! YOU MAY BRICK (DESTROY) YOUR PHONE WITH IT!!! If you dont believe: http://android.modaco.com/content/g...odaco-com/303716/nexus-cannot-on-after-flash/)
7. There should be no 7. Everything should be fine by now.
Hope I could help.

[Q] ClockWorkMOD

I hope I'm posting this in the right section >___< , just wanted to know if anyone knew why my screen gets stuck on the boot screen everytime I reboot into recovery (using rom manager btw). I've flashed clockwork a couple of time and waited for awhile. Maybe I didn't wait long enough...

Well.. no. This isn't the right section. Sorry. You should post this question in your device's General section.

I knew it *sighs*

plus one+! just saved me (again)

Touchwiz Update bricked my non-rooted Tab (static lines across screen)!

I decided to go ahead with the TW firmware upgrade. Everything seemed to be going fine until I tried to install it and it told me there was an error and I needed to hook it up to Kies first. I had already been using Kies with it on my Macbook for a couple weeks now so I went ahead and plugged it in. Kies recognized it as usual and all the information came up.
So I went on and tried to install again and it said it needed to reboot.
It reboots and comes to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen like normal (right before it starts the galaxy animation). Next thing I know it comes to a screen that looks like the attached images! I immediately unplugged it from Kies and shut it down. Every time I start it back up it does the same thing. I honestly have NO idea what to do. I can't even return it as it's past the 14 day period and I (stupidly) didn't buy Staples' bogus $160 insurance.
I was not rooted before. This was a stock tab that I bought at staples. It had the firmware 4.24 when I bought it, I think.
Please, any help is appreciated. I tried doing firmware recovery in Kies but the pop up comes up in Korean and I have no idea what it says...
Edit: More info. I'm not the only one with this problem. Two other people have posted on AndroidPolice about this. http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/08/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wifi-touchwiz-ux-update-is-now-live/
The software is definitely running underneath all that mess but it's literally impossible to see what is going or to touch anything.

I guess this thread is about the same issue

Thanks, I'm checking the thread out now. I probably should have searched more than just Google before posting but I freaked out when it happened.

No need to freak out . we have xda and dev to solve all our problems

i have exactly the same problem as you... what should i do now?

I get the same screen but after rebooting! pfft it's making me really sad :\

I'm sorry but I tried reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 and couldnt understanding what should I do!

So I need to follow all the steps for rooting except the last one which is the actual rooting? Great thanx! Do I need to use Kies? My current computer is Mac but I guess I need to download those things to a Windows machine to make it work, right?
Thank you very much

I had the same problem. I upgraded the update on my non-rooted tablet and got the funked up video mess. Per instructions from Samsung support, I hard booted to the recovery menu (power+vol down, then power up, down on download screen) and did the factory wipe. After that I ended up with the black screen. I could tell things were working in the back but couldnt see a thing. I figured I would throw it on the Kies and it saw that there was a factory upgrade so I let the Kies run through it and it works fine now.
Dont know if this will help w/other but it worked for me.

Complicated Droid 2 Boot Look Issue

Hey guys let me start by saying I have done quite a bit of searching and im not a total noob when it comes to this stuff. I have still been unable to find an answer to my questions...
So basically I have a Droid 2 and I flashed the CM9 ICS Alpha onto it had it running great (Cant wait to get past alpha ) But due to the fact that its an alpha and really nothing works I wanted to go back to my librity rom... I tried to boot into recovery and that caused a boot loop instead of booting into recovery.
So from there I went to flash the stock SBF onto the phone and it keeps just getting stuck in a boot loop even when flashing the stock SBF. What have I done! lol How do I get this thing back to a factory setup?
I would really like to figure this out but if I cant I will be putting another mobo in it as that may be the easier solution haha
Thanks for taking the time to help me with this and if you know somewhere this has already been discussed please direct me to it as I could not find it...

Nevermind lol
I was able to get it to boot by booting into recovery and running the factory reset. But I had already tried that once before posting this and it had not worked...
Well anyway all is good for me now maybe this will help someone eventually have a great day.
