[HELP] Stuck at HTC logo after installing bacon on unofficial CMod

What I did
1. Install unofficial CMod
2. Installed baconbits
Problem after bacon bits install on unofficial CM: i boot up the phone but it gave me an error/popup for every application i was running "google voice has encountered an error" "com.android has encountered an error" etc etc. endless popups to where i couldnt do anything on the phone other than locking and unlocking it.
what i tried to do to fix it:
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Tried applying Stock Recovery, thinking it would somehow help
current problem: stuck at HTC logo
please help! i just want to get it back up and running, any rom... rooted or not. i cant even get into the phone

Wow u really messed up.
Idk how to truly guide u out of this because it seems like u really don't know what ur doing. But your going to have to restore the phone. Read the thread about unrooting and returning to stock.
Also if I'm not mistaking you can fastboot flash system.img and data.img from pc10img.zip but as I said idk 100%
And flashing stock recovery is a no no because it can only read htc zips so it will block you out from flashing a new update.zip

Can you get into fastboot? Power the phone down and hold VolDown+Power.
Flashing baconbits over a non-official CM 6.1 was a mistake.... Baconbits is just an addon for a stock rom... CM 6.1 will have everything that baconbits has and more...

yes i can get into fastboot. problem is finding a htc signed rom... i think

If you are still S-OFF, you can flash clockwork mod recovery using fastboot and then just boot into recovery and install whatever rom...

just out of curiousity, how did u install that cm rom? if u used clockwork like it required, all u had to do after u messed up flashing bacon, was wipe, and restore, or reflash the rom again. why did u flash a stock recovery?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

did a wipe, stuck at htc logo. didnt know i could just flash the cm file with clockwork... thought i had to use the clockwork rom manager when the phone is booted up. flash stock recovery, for some reason, i dont know. cried for an hour. called tmobile, had them send me a replacement. now on the phone telling them to cancel first android phone so im a noob, be kind

[Q] myTouch 4G Recovery Issues! Please Help!

I checked through 100s of post tonight and could not find the answer to this and am in need of some help. I attempted to install a Cyanogen Nightly tonight through Rom Manager with no prior knowlege of the issues with CW 2.5 vs. CW 3.0. Stupid I know.
So natuaraly, when the download finished and Rom Manager tried to install, my MT4G just hung at the white boot screen. Through previous posts, the directions were simple to reflash the previous CW Recovery through Fastboot and reflash the Rom.
Well thats where the problem is.... When I attempt to flash ANY Rom earlier than 3.0.0.5, it will say OKAY in CMD, however the phone will never boot into the Recovery. I even tried fastboot erase recovery then reinstalled and still nothing.
So i decided to go a different root and reinstalled 3.0.0.5 to see if there was any work around through there. After i install 3.0 through Fastboot, I am able to go into Recovery, however when I select ANY option no matter what, the hat and the gear icon stay in the background and nothing happens.
I am very confused and lost and am hoping someone here will have had the same issue and can help me get my phone back in order.
Thanks in advance guys!

I havent had that issue exactly, but I might be able to help wlk you through getting this fixed. Ive had problems more than once myself on recovery, and helped a couple others solve other issues on here. If you want, add me on google talk (same username as on xda), and Ill walk you through it. Might have to wait till the morning, though, as Im probably gonna head to bed soon.

Fastboot 2.5 recovery and reflash froyo rom. If you decide to install CM7 again - read,search and make sure that you understand what you're doing. It has been stated at least few dozen times that Rom Manager is useless with gingerbread until Koush updates it.

Same Issue??
I believe my issue sounds similar.
I tried to go from Iced Glacier up to CM7. When I did I attempted to use the Clockwork Recovery 2.5 and of course it didn't work. Then I tried to upgrade it to 3.0.0.5. Now when I try to reboot into Clockwork recovery the phone just stays on the MyTouch 4G splash screen. The only way to get around it is use the Power/Volume down button and click on FASTBOOT and then select REBOOT.
The phone then boots in Iced Glacier. I have redownloaded ROM Manager and attempted to FLASH CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY. But it still won't load into recovery.
Essentially I need some step by step help to get back to clockworkmod recovery. I'm not too worried if I need to wipe everything. Just looking for the ability to restore again.
Alternatively I'm interested in upgrading to CM7 but not sure how I could do that without recovery working. I would also ask if you can give step by step instructions it would be much appreciated as I'm still pretty new to this.
Thanks!

I also have the similar problem. I have installed the Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 and have rooted my phone before i was trying to install the gingerbread version. I made a recovery backup. i tried to restore the phone with that backup image but it still hung up with that "t-mobile mytouch " white splash screen.
What should i do now ? i have no idea how to bring my phone back to life :/

Sounds like both of you should of never of done this. This has been discussed a few times, and the end result is always the same.....
Download the correct Recovery image (which can be found in the Development section) and install it to your phone by using the ADB commands, in the fastboot mode. you can find a quick and painless way to set those up in my signature. Once you have installed the recovery image you can boot into hBoot and select recovery. from there you can flash CM7 and the gapps. Once you have done all that download the official clockwork ROM manager from the market and flash his current recovery image.

Help getting to DJ_Steve's Froyo

Ok it has been awhile since I have messed with my wife's Streak or since I had one (I went with the Captivate). She just got a replacement Streak from Dell and it came with the AT&T locked 1.6 on it. I have tried flashing clockwork and streakmod to it and it does not stick. What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? Please help her gripping is about to kill me.

Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112 Don't forget that you need to root before you attempt to flash.

You don't need root before flashing a custom rom. Flash streakmod recovery then use the fastboot command to reboot the phone. Make sure you hold both volume buttons as the phone reboots. If you let the phone boot normally streakmod recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery, but if you don't let it boot you can boot into streakmod and then flash your custom ROM. All of DJ Steve's ROM's are already rooted.
If you want a custom rom this is what I would do:
Since you can get 2.2 OTA, I would go ahead and upgarde to the OTA version of 2.2
Copy the ROM you want and your install.txt (if needed) to your sd card
Flash streakmod recovery
Boot into the streakmod recovery and install the ROM
You will now be rooted and have the ROM you want installed.
If you don't want a custom ROM I suggest:
you upgrade to the 2.2 OTA version (and then apply a different stock version if you want)
then root (SuperOneClick will probably work)
rename the file install-recovery.sh that is in /etc to something else to prevent the recovery from being overwritten
Flash streakmod recovery
make whatever other mods you want
If you want a version of Android beyond or different than the OTA update leave the stock recovery on the phone until you get the stock version of Android you want installed.

what recovery do you have. You cant do a stock update with a custom recovery.

the stock recovery, that is referance in the link above.
i did "attempt" to go straight to steves's build by flashing clockwork, but it did not take (at least it did not appear to) so i started following that guide and it is NOT working.
How can I determine which recovery i am using? it "looks" like the stock one to me but maybe i am wrong

You need clockwork or streakmod recovery to flash one of dj steves roms. When you boot into recovery if you select update with the camera button and you get the dell logo with the exclamation mark in a triangle, press the power button and if a blue menu comes up then you have streakmod. I havent used clockwork as i've heard it doesnt play well with the streak, so im not sure if the steps are the same. You can search the forums for streakmod recovery and flash it if you dont have it.

ive tried using both streakmod and clockwork, but they just give me a blank screen.
does anyone know how to get to the official dell update when the update screen says none available?

are you pressing the power button after selecting option 2?? With streakmod you'll get a blank screen until you press the power button. To manually do a stock update you'll need to flash a stock recovery, then copy update.pkg to your sd card and update by selecting option 2 in recovery.

Picture gallery that shows what to expect from streakmod recovery. As usual click on the thumbs for larger images.
After selecting the #2 option at the first screen you should see a Dell logo and an exclamation point. Press the power button to get the streakmod options. If you get a blank screen wait a few seconds and try the power button

ill give that shot tonight thank you

[Q] Do I have a brick?

I was running CM7 RC3 fine on my phone, then I decided to switch back to my nandroid backup to stock ( I have done this wil ICed glacier/CM7 RC2/RC1/Royal Ginger etc with no problems). And I have been stuck on the boot splash screen the "Tmobile Mytouch 4g" screen for 20 minutes now without any action... is this a brick? I know I should not worry, but I tried wiping the dalvik cache the acahe and reset to factory setting.... still nothing
How do I go about getting the phone to work?
Thanks

are you running recovery 3.0.0.6? have you tried a battery pull?

Yes, a battery pull was tried, and I am running 3.0.0.5... any help is really appreciated

How do I possibly install 3.0.0.6 now? is it possible?
Thanks

need 3.0.0.6 to run stock or royal glacier. or 2.5.1.2. need to reinstall cm7 and use rom manager to flash recovery. or at least its the eaisest way for me.

follow drews guide and let us know how it goes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681

unfortunately, I am not being able to go back to royal ginger (its on the toyal ginger splash screen now) I am downloading CM7 RC3 again, but have no way to put it on the sdcard coz I do not have a card reader at this point....... so frustrated.

you can use recovery to mount usb and it will mount the sd card and can tranfer files from computer to card. if you can get to recovery its not bricked. make sure you format boot sys data and cache in mount screen before trying reflash.

Push the cwm 3.0.0.6 recovery image to your phone via adb
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Google easy way to get 3.0.0.6 and it should be a zip file u flash in recovery called clockwork_recoveries.zip or something like that. You go into rom manager pick all recoveries and flash 3.0.0.5 and reboot into recovery and it should say 3.0.0.6 now u can flash any rom and restore without getting stuck
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App

Your phone is not bricked. As others have stated, you need to re-flash a gingerbread ROM (like CM7) in order for it to boot.
Best thing to do is install ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.6 because it can flash both gingerbread and froyo ROMs. You can do this in two ways:
1. Re-flash a Gingerbread ROM. Download TrueBlue_Drew's .zip file from his thread in Development and follow his instructions to be able to flash the included recovery images from ROM Manager.
2. If you have the engineering bootloader (0.85.2007, also some people call it ENG SPL), and if you've set up ADB on your computer, then you can use the fastboot utility to flash recovery images directly to the device. I personally prefer this method. If you can't find instructions to do this, PM me.

[Q] Need urgent help. Stuck in bootloop, CWM 3.0.0.5

Earlier today I installed the "Royal Ginger" ROM using ROM Manager + CWD 3.0.0.5. I made a backup of my previous ROM prior to this.
After the install was completed (as it said in recovery), I tried booting up. I'm in the boot screen for the ROM, and it keeps repeating over and over. I went back into recovery, wiped cache and delvik, and rebooted. Same problem.
Again in recovery, I installed my previous working ROM (the one I have been using for months), and I'm in a bootloop again.
After some google searches, I traced the problem to be CWD 3.0.0.5 and found out that I should flash 3.0.0.6. However, I can't as there is absolutely no way for me to get back into Andriod (stuck in bootloop no matter what ROM is installed.)
Is there anyway to manually flash it? I have the file on my SD card, I just don't know how. Or is there a compatible ROM with 3.0.0.5 that will allow me to install, get in to the market, and use ROM manager to update to 3.0.0.6?
This is very frustrating and would greatly appreciate any help you guys have to offer.

did you make a nandroid of your stock rom, or at least previous rom?

I don't know what a nandriod is unfortunately. I tried a manual flash of 3.0.0.6 using adb shell method, and now the recovery won't even load. FML. I guess I deserve this.

Follow this link to restore back to stock and start again:

Nandroid will back up you're current rom in the state it is. it is HIGHLY suggested to do so before flashing another rom, so you can always revert back to what you had incase there is such problems. It's in the menu of CWM. I would suggest doing it before flashing any rom, it will save you from taking more steps backwards than needed

There is no Nandriod option on my CWD, though I did make a backup of my Old rom. I can't get into CWD anymore anyways, so I guess the only option is to go back to stock?

You need to flash a rom that is ext3.. More or less a froyo rom.. After you do that you should update to cwm 3.0.2.4
Sent from my demonSPEED! Glacier

I can't get into recovery. I tried doing the stock method and the following occured:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery2.img
sending 'recovery' (3948 KB)... OKAY [ 1.357s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.378s
C:\adb>
What happens if I press the factory reset option from the power screen?

Also, how can I push a recovery image using ADB, and then following it up with an installation using ADB commands? I cannot mount the SD card as the recovery is stuck at the splash screen, so the only option is to run a command through ADB installing an image pushed onto the phones main memory.

Why are u using 3.0.0.5? There is a newer version in rom mgr.

I didn't know there was. I can't get back into android to do anything about it though, no matter what I try. Recovery gets me stuck at a splash screen,as does a normal boot.

Can u not boot into recovery from hboot (volume down + power button)?? If not, flash the new recovery in fastboot
