Hey guys, I need help.
Let me explain as much as I can.
I bought a Droid X, it was rooted. When verizon factory reset it, it must have messed something up because now everytime I turn the phone on, it just stops at the backup assistant screen and says "Communicating with server". I cannot get past it. Its weird, because the camera will work, and even when the "communicating with server" goes away its just a black screen, but you can still see and use the status bar. Im so lost. I have done soft/hard resets, nothing works.
Is there any way I could load a rom onto the SD card via my computer, then boot it when I get into recovery mode? The only thing I've found online was I'd need to download a rom from an app I get from the market. Is there a way to install a from without doing that since I absolutely cannot get to the market?
Any help or suggestions would help. Any little thing you can think of would help. Thanks
Google search how to sbf. That should be all you need to do

another app2SD thing after flashing a new rom?
well then you know more then me. If you can get into bootloader you should be able to get into recovery mode. You can also toggle USB mode, so you can be connected to your comp. In that case you can push a recovery image.

you can also wipe
etc
its all in that thread or somewhere else on this forum

Any updates? same thing happened to me.
If in doubt then reflash everything again;
boot
system
and recovery
and start afresh.
see thats the thing,, i can click recovery from the bootloader screen and nothing happens. It will restart and just sit on the same "X" screen. Its very simple to put a phone into a DFU mode or recovery mode for Iphones,Motorolas,blackberry,nokia,samsung,Lg, and a few more i cant think of at the moment. When these phones become corrupt ive learned how to whatever firmware or software i want on dumb thing.. But this HTC is giving me a hard time and i know its something simple.. Most phones have a desktop software that will allow you to mess with phones programming, Itune-iphone/Blackberry-BB desktop Manager/motorola-RSD lite....ect. BUt i cannot find anything really for the HTC or just this N1. A lot of these programs for other brands, once you plug your phone in, will notice that the phone is in a recovery state and offer to do an update or a restore. Now why doesnt the N1 or do they, does google offer something like evryone else does?

hmmm I understand your frustration. What did you do before it got to the 'X' splash screen?
I'm assumimg you've tried to reflash a different ROM in recovery mode?

The SDK can do that
like the others said, try get into recovery and reflash everything
SDK? i just turned the phone on and its stuck on the "Splash" screen just a big ol "X". I press volume down and power and pull up the bootloader menus.. i scroll down to recovery and press enter. and it reboots and stays at the damn "x" screen again. I've chosen everyone of the options it offers in that menu and nothing changes.. You know how when u first open that menu it will scan the SD card? Well it shows up for a second then goes away, and in the split second the green lettering is on the screen i swear it says "no splash image" or something like that. UHHHHhhhg!
Hmm I forgot how to get to get to recovery using physical buttons, sth like: power + trackball, or volume down + trackball i guess, so try that
So it looks like your phone is not rooted and you don't have Amon_Ra recovery maybe you have not even turned on USB debugger? tough luck friend
All is not lost if you can get into fastboot mode trackball and power together then using adb reflash boot,system and recovery images.
Or call Customer Service and trade in for a new Nexus One
if not you have to download the SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
find stock images and reflash like the above post said

agreed....if you haven't "unlocked" the bootloader then i wouldn't bother with any of the suggestions....Call customer care and get a new one before you un-lock it and this mysteriously happens again...THEN, you'll be S-O-L!!
EDIT: Then with the new one, follow all the threads for un-locking, flashing recovery, nand,flash cyan, flash gapps LALALA
DOUBLE EDIT: Althought it sounds all you've done is messed up the recovery image, which you could re-flash. Then you could get into recovery and flash Cyan, having a functioning phone again
Hello,
Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't seem to find a way to fix my daughters phone. When she turns it on, it goes pass the splash screen and then the phone will just stay at a blank screen. Can someone point me in the right area or show my a step by step to fix this.
Thank You
OK I figured it out..... I had a idea it was this. Some how her ROM got corrupt, so what I did was just re flashed it. I was having issues with the RUU seeing the phone, so you have to make show you have all the updating drivers, before you try to re flash or it will not see your phone and keep giving you errors.
Now I am at my last step, but she does not have internet, so I can't bypass this google activation. I even tried the 4 corners trick, but no luck.
I wad messing around with a widget and lowered the brightness on the screen to much and the screen dosent come on where I can see the on screen buttons. Is there any way to reset the brightness by remote or reset the whole phone by the buttons on the phone. The phone is rooted.
These threads *might* help...

I have tried everythingto get it to come back. those posts dont help me much in my problem. i have tried the odin flash and tried restoring the sysmtem diretory but still no screen i dont know if i need to do the kernel and the recovery part of odin. this sucks the most because where i am at this thanksgiving i have no internet access.
I actually just did this to my phone a week back.. this is how I got it back. I started to call my own phone with someone elses phone and once out of every about 5 calls my screen would turn on for a second so I kept doing that until it stayed on long enough for me to go and change the brightness back. lol I know its not a full proof fix but thats what did it for me..
IF you have a nandroid backup, you can boot into recovery and restore that backup. That's what I did when it happened to me.
I wish they'd get this problem fixed. Most apps that adjust brightness fixed it, but apparently not all of them.
I never made a backup of the system. The the call idea I just made ten calls to my phone and no luck any other ideas.
i tried put my phone back in stock factory reset using odin. the threads are located under development and its pinned
or
u can just get a replacement if ur under return policy
I tried the stock reset to factory with Odin but my screen still disentangle come on.
i recall someone saying that flashing Clockworkmod Recovery fixed this for them
Now that im back home from vacation and have internet i can figure it out. Like i said i tried the stock rom and no go then i tried the Clockworkmod and no go, i cant use the rom manager because i cant see the screen to use it. as for the update.zip in the root of the sdcard (/sdcard) i did that and held volume up when i turned on the phone and went to run the update.zip from the recovery menu and it says it cant find it.
Did you install Clockwork with Odin?
Yes and im going to try it again now that im at home.
with clockwork i can get in but as i try to sign into google the screen goes black and i cant get it to turn back on.
I can get it to start up in the recovery menu choose to wipe data/factory reset, then restart. it starts up but screen dosent come on. plug it into my computer screen comes on try to get to settings and shuts off and after to start over again.
Would it be possible to dump my wifes phone rom to the computer and use that to start off with or will that screw everything up.
Maybe try this?

After playing for two hours I finally got it to work.what was happening was the phone will go to sleep and I couldn't unlock it after the screen shutoff. But I kept the screen alive long enough to reset the brightness.
Now the big problem is I can't log into my Google account, I can't do it though wiring or 3g any ideas.
Alright, so I've got an LG E617G from Bell Aliant, a mobile carrier in Canada. I know it's rooted and it's the most up-to-date OS I could possibly get for this phone, stock, but I can't check the OS at the moment, or at least in a way I know of. I went to reset the phone to factory default settings and it gets stuck in this boot loop. I shut down, boot it back up. Now the boot screen sound doesn't finish properly and it just is stuck in a loop.
I tried to do a hard reset/forced recovery mode thing (Volume Down + Power then go to holding Home only when the LED on the bottom of the screen light up) and that didn't work. Same broken sound and stuck loop. Thinking that the charge might have something to do with it (It was at about 7% when I tried to do the initial reset. Stupid, I know, but I was drunk).
I just tried to do the same hard reset/forced recovery mode thing and that didn't work, same boot screen problem. I searched on the forums here as well as online and the only information that I've gotten is that the L5 is the closest well known representation of the LG E617g so I'm hoping you guys can help.
It should also be known, I did give ES File Explorer root access the day prior to the reset in an attempt to change the actual font. That didn't work so I tried 2 different applications that I found information on. iFont and Font Installer. I tried something with Font Installer and it didn't work so I installed iFont (without uninstalling Font Installer) and installed a font there. That didn't seem to work so I just ignored it. Then I noticed that the font had changed but only on Facebook apps. This was why I wanted to do the reset, to get rid of this font nonsense. Now I think I may have just ****ed it all up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ask what you need of me, if you do need anything, and tell me a quick way of possibly finding that information or linking to a tutorial how and I will get back to you ASAP. Thank you for the patience and help guys.

I have since solved the problem. I downloaded and installed all drivers again, ran the LG Mobile Support Tool and on the top menu bar I went Customer Support > Recovery and put my IMEI in and hit check. Got my info and another pop up came up. Downloaded the data for my phone (I had to run it in Download mode. I took out battery, held up and down volume while plugging it in the PC, run this recovery mode. I'd fail the recovery mode but then I'd just run the program part again on the computer while keeping it in plugged in.) and installed it. Worked fine after that.
Thanks a lot for this detailed solution!

Ah, no problem. I spend most of my time looking at forums that talk about my exact problem but never a solution. Just wanted to make sure that if anyone ends up with my problem that my fix worked.
Hello,
i got an problem with my Huawei p8 lite.
I got root installed, my device worked perfect for a long time, but yesterday i came across a problem. a couple of apps stopped working. (they started and closed a couple seconds later.)
i turned my phone on and off a couple of times but the problem stayed. I put my phone back to factory settings.
My phone turned on after that and i got the 'setup' screen. after all the settings and agreements, i got a screen with 'restore with and older android device' when i want to skip that, i got an white screen.
Its stuck on there, i can turn off my phone with holding the power button and get the menu with 'boot again' and 'shut off' Also i can use my camera, calculator, flashlight and the recorder.
i tried installing the firmware again (vol+ and vol- and power) but when i do that, i got an message saying 'installation failed'.
Does someone have an solution?
Im sorry for my bad english.
Thank you.

Same problem, fixed
Hey, I had the same problem; After a factory reset the phone got stuck on emui activation with a blank screen. I factory restarted again and skipped the wifi connection and during the whole process of activation kept the SIM card off the phone. After that, Gapps acted weird but I noticed that it was because the Google Play Services app was missing. Installed this one http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/google-play-services-8-4-89-release/google-play-services-8-4-89-2428711-240-android-apk-download/ and all started to work fine again, with Gapps at least. I know your issues was some time ago, but I hope this could be useful for you or any other who face the same problem. Have a good one.
