Help please. Did I brick my phone? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone won't get passed the t-mobile mytouch 4g screen. This happened after I backed up my stock rom using rom manager and did a full wipe to start clean ut no after I went back and restored my backup, my phone is stuck on the mytouch screen and won't get pass that. Is my phone bricked? or can it be saved? can someone pls help me? I just got this phone yesterday and rooted it with no problem. All I did after the root was add a custom kernel. Everything was going great until I restored my backup. Pls help. Thanks in advance.

You can search.
Well now that you've unlocked the bootloader there really is no point in going back to a stock rom. Might was well flash Cyanogen on it.

HTC Wildfire Wildpuzzle first boot problem

So i have my HTC Wildfire, which i find to be sluggish as hell. I decided i would put WildPuzzle on it to see if that was better. I have rooted the phone, made the nandroid backup, done factory reset and installed the rom.
When i boot the phone i get the purple circle boot screen but the phone will not load any further. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and overcome it?
I have also tried Cyanogen and got the same problem, I left the phone overnight when i tried WildPuzzle to no avail :'(
Please dont be too harsh as I am Still new to this hacking business.
Thanks in advance

Connect it to a pc and run logcat (google it - it's part of android sdk) and paste results here

Sounds like you may need to restore from a nandroid or rru
What is the actual adb command i need? I have installed it but can't find the right command.
The command is 'adb logcat' .

[q] issues with recovery

hello all. so i have a rooted mytouch 4g that im loving but having issues with. i permarooted it with Visionary and everything works great but when i try to boot my phone in recovery, it goes to a black screen with an exclamation point and i have to pull the battery. I also tried it through Rom Manager to do a backup and it gets the same screen. any ideas would be of great help. thanks in advance!
Seems to be stock recovery, with rom manager flash clock work recovery
Some times rom manager doesn't like to flash recovery on our phone. Theres an option after you enable advanced features to delete recovery before flaashing. Use that. May help. If not, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905
^^ That should help.
thanks im gonna try that and see where it gets me! i did do my research before doing this and re read everything but i guess im still not quite too learned yet ha.
tried after enabling advanced mode and it didnt help so when i get home and have a computer available ill try the adb way and see if that helps. seems pointless to have a rooted phone if i cant flash a rom onto it haha. hopefully i can fix this!

Sounds like CW didn't install right. Many users have found that flashing CW twice or even 3 times seems to clear the issue up.
Try that.
so i got s-off and then tried installing CW 2 or 3 times like you said and hey it worked great! did and nandroid backup and all so im back in business! thanks so so so much for the help

Glad I was able to help. Seems CW needs to be flashed more than once in order to 'take' and install correctly on some devices. Anyway, glad you're up and runnin.

[Q] myTouch 3G Dilemma

I have a real dilemma here folks...
I have a myTouch3G and the other day I rooted the phone in order to get me a custom ROM and get rid of the stock old ROM. Well, in the process I decided the reset my phone because I wanted everything to go smooth and no apps to intervene. Well so it happens that my phone got disconnected and I can't get past the Welcome to Android thingy. I don't have any friends with a T-Mobile plan and I need to get this phone back running and hopefully with a new ROM. Any help will be appreciated and thanks in advance.
So did you load a custom ROM or did you just factory reset the stock one? Did you get a custom recovery installed by booting the phone holding home+power? If your completely stock (you didn't install anything and just did a factory reset of the stock ROM) your either going to have to borrow a friend's or root using the goldcard method, which will require you to have another Android powered phone.
Oh man! I did just do a factory reset on the stock ROM. Bummer, thanks a lor for the help.

Go back to recovery, re-wipe and re-flash your desired ROM. You can even re-download the ROM as well in case it was caused by a bad DL.

What recovery are you on what did you try to flash how about you try to help out a little in this... if you cant handle that dont mess with your phone.

Yeah... To kinda piggyback on what ionic said, you also have to give us a lot more info than what you're giving us. Like what ROM you tried, and the process you did to flash it.
If your ROM ever messes up or doesn't boot, the general answer you'll always get is to just re-wipe and re-flash.
Need a little bit more info. Do need the process that you went through to flash.
you probably have to boot into recovery, do a full wipe and reflash the rom again, i remember this happened to me , sometimes its the rom, sometimes you dont flash the rom right, good idea to either keep a backup of another rom or keep an extra rom on your SD card
