[Q] I think I've jacked up my phone...

I tried to use SuperOneClick to root my phone and it seemed to work. The program came back saying I successfully rooted my phone.
I then went to ClockworkMod to install cyanogen and clicked on the appropriate boxes to begin the download process for cyanogen 6.0 stable mod and ran it.
My phone rebooted and started to run some scripts.
Now, the phone just reboots to the green mytouch screen and continues to loop like that and I have no idea what to do.
I can get into fastboot on the mt3g and when I do, my pc makes the sound that states that the phone is connected but when I try to get into the mytouch, using adb, my pc cant access it but when I plug up my G2, I can see the serial number and such showing that it is connected.
I tried to follow the fastboot driver installation page but it didn't seem to work.
Bottom line is I would really enjoy a functional MT3G in either the regular form or cyanogen (which is why im in this predicament now )
For the the record,
I was running 1.6 but got the OTA update for 2.2 before I ended up blowing up my phone.
Thanks for reading this and any aid would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATED:
I found something called SAPPIMG.NBH that allowed me load Android 1.5 onto my phone. I now am back to a functioning device but still, I am super stuck on trying to get cyanogen onto my device. Any helpful hints? From what you read above, did I miss something?
Thanks again.

... Sadness... I have been bashing my face against this mt3g and haven't been able to get cyanogenmod on this phone for the life of me. I have tried all of the builds from 5.08 up to RC1 of 6.10 and I just get the infinite loop at the cyanogen boot up screen. I even tried to flash 2.23.XXXX radio to see if it gets past the boot loop and it does not. Anybody have any insights into my issue?
Thanks,

You must go into recovery mode(boot up by holding down home + power). That will get you to Clockworkmod recovery(I am assuming since you said you downloaded using Clockwork app). From there you need to wipe cache, and anything else you can wipe. Then try installing Cyanogenmod after that. Without wiping the there is not enough space to install and it causes a bootloop.

I'm in the same boat, I'm stuck in a boot loop and I cannot get any ROM to fully load in. I'm using clockwork recovery Radio 2.22 32B.
I tried wiping everything but that still doesnt seem to work. I noticed when I try wiping Davlik cache I dont see any message on the bottom. I thought it would normally give me some sort of message stating that it is wiping davlik or something so maybe it isnt actually wiping it?
Is there some other way to make sure davlik is wiped? Or something else I can do. I just want the phone to boot up at this point. I can get into recovery but thats it.
I know I shouldve done a backup but dumb me was such in a rush I completely forgot, I know im a idiot...

Het I found that same .img file and also reverted back to 1.5 then just went up to 2.2 not sure what was wrong but Rom I put on just went into a boot loop. Maybe it was clockwork recovery.

the padawan becomes the master... Sort of...
The problem is that you cannot go directly to 2.2 from 1.5. You have to do the incremental upgrades that take you from 1.5 to 1.6 then 1.6 to 2.2

Installed ClockworkMod...

Hi guys,
I've tried using unrevoked 3.3 on my wildfire, with android 2.1, didn't work - so I tried 3.2 and I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 on there, I can boot into that now,
But still not knowing how to root it,
Can someone give me some advice from here, I get the "Internal error" message and can't go any further, but I assume you can manually do it, since I've got the clockworkmod recovery on there,
Toby =)

if you have clockworkmod recovery then that means you rooted it, just put a custom rom onto your sd card, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card. do a nandroid backup of your rom first.

When I try using Titanium Backup, I get a failed message...

Okay, I installed busy box and it says it rooted, does the clockworkmod matter what version you have?

Nope, you should be fine.

Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes, is Wildpuzzle rom trustworthy? It's been around for awhile right? =)

Yeah wildpuzzle is good, I used to use it.

I had abit of a freak out, I wiped my phone then couldn't load any custom rom =( But now its loading, hoping it works...

I don't know if the rom is loading or not, the screen with the android symbol coming out of the box showed up now and white backgroud with the "HTC quietly brilliant" animation seems to be sitting there forever,
I installed the SUnAaBh v1.1** rom from sc card,
Does this seem right?

First boot takes 10 to 15 min.
You should have done a nandroid backup of your stock rom first, oh well.
If it doesn't boot, do a full wipe, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery and flash again.

After like 2 or 3 minutes, the screen goes black then the HTC logo screen comes back on and loads again, makes me think its in a loop and no installed right =\

Do a full wipe and try flash again. If it doesn't work, try a different rom.

Yeah, I did a back up with nandroid then moved the files to my computer incase, they was in a folder called orangeworkmod folder?,
Wipe cache?

Yes, you should wipe data and cache before installing a new rom. They are all there in recovery.

Okay, yeah - its all good, was just taking time, does wildpuzzle rom have overclocking feature, or is that a application?

stuck on white htc screen

So i have a desire hd from Three, which is unlocked and unbranded, i rooted the phone via the visionary method, got s-off, used rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery which was 2.5.1 something rather, then i created a backup, upgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.1, tried to install the cyanogenmod 6.1.3 via rom manager but didnt work, so i downloaded the zip file manually and tried to update via clockwork mod recovery now in 3.0, restarted, and am now stuck at the main HTC screen. Pulled the battery, then went back into clockwork recovery, tried to recover the backup i made, rebooted, but still stuck on htc white screen... dont know what to do help!

You could try flashing a RUU to go back to stock 1.32 would be best or you would need to downgrade to root, or you could try getting another rom image on your SD card isnt clockwork 3 4 ginger bread nightlies?
Just throwing ideas out there. Personally I would go woth the RUU.

Thanks for the reply, i remember finding some links with ruu's but i'm not sure which one i need and how to use it ?

Sorry just thought the other thing is how long did you leave it. I have read about people leaving for 30 mins and then it boots..

Start downloading this. Its the RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
http://www.multiupload.com/N333WKVW6M
while downloading leave your phone to boot it might surprise you..

I left it for a while but maybe not long enough, perhaps 15 minutes at one point? i'll try again, should i wipe data in clockwork and then reflash the cyanogenmod again? is it ok to keep the phone plugged into the computer via usb?

Sorry, once downloaded just run the EXE, it will walk you through the steps.
The Dev section has a lot of useful stuff in it for this sort of thing the 1st post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214 is pretty usefull.

Worth a go whilst downloading, I would wipe 1st. Its good you still have your recovey partition (clockwork) so you should be fine. Use the RUU as the last resort as it will wipe recovery part and loose SOFF etc.. But should fix the phone.

Right so i've wiped data/factory reset and cache partition and dalvik cache, then went to choose zip from sd, chose update-cm-6.1.3-DesireHD-signed.zip, says Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.2-desireHD (strange?) completed. Now went to Reboot system now and waiting, still on HTC screen.

is it possible to put another rom on the sd card? i dont have a computer that i can plug the mini sd into, possible in recovery mode?

yes, but i dont know how of the top of my head, i will have a look in the dev forums, i think you use fastboot and u can push files. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will see this post soon. I will have a look though.

so its been 30 minutes, and it's still at the htc screen... what should i do? should i try the RUU ? i dont want to brick my phone...

from what i can find fastboot will not push files, adb but may not connect on splash screen. You could just try pulling the battery and leaving it again to boot for a bit, mine has hung before like that. The Ruu should go through and connect to phone and go through flashing. Do you have another phone that could take the SD card? im gonna boot my phone to recovery and try to push a rom to it or file.

ok i am reading this post,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558812
what i would do is goto recovery mode,
he command is:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push c:\******.*** /sdcard
exemple with g:\update.zip :
adb push g:\update.zip /sdcard
usefull when wrong rom flashed and no sdcard reader ^^

So i downloaded a cyanogenmod 7 nightly build, installed with with clockwork 3.0.0.5, and it worked, booted in, but had a continuous logo loop, going to try leedroid

Good luck, Leedroid rocks, thats what i use. I would say if it is still looping try the ruu and then start again. The RUU will esentially factory reset.

Installed the latest Cyanogen nightly build #23, and it works perfectly now should i keep it? or should i try leedroid? i kind of want to keep using htc sense, as i have all my contacts on it..

Up to you really. I went back to leedroid because it seems faster and more stable for me and I like some of the sense widgets.

Cant get passed boot animation screen

Rooted using unrevoked. Flashed to evio 3 and trying to flash different roms such as CM 7, or Decks 1.0 and it wont get passed the boot animation screen.
The animation keeps looping and I end up restoring it back to evio 3 with manual recovery mode boot.
I tried cleaning the caches before flashing and it wont work.
Flashed with different methods as well.. Rom Manager and manual install zip from sd on recovery boot menu..
Im new to flashing roms so please let me know if you see anything wrong in my steps. I have titanium back up, but I dont think I have my stock rom backed up for some reason..

Did you wipe EVERYTHING before flashing?

all the caches it specifies on the pop up from Rom Manager, yes.
I havent wiped it to factory, re-root and flash if that is what you are asking.

Ok, wiped everything and got it to boot into new rom but marketplace is gone and its functioning bad. apps arent working and I cant restore apps or contacts..

You need to flash gapps to get your market and other google apps - this will then allow you to sync your contacts, calendar, etc. There should be a link to it in the rom's thread.

For the love of God do some damn research and learn something before you go and ruin your phone.

Just go ahead and reinstall the RUU. Search on youtube for unrooting htc evo. I believe the video is from zedomax. Great tutorial for getting your phone back to stock.

And another one having problems, and using ROM Manger......

MIUI on my DX - And my DX experience so far.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience so far. I can't post on the MIUI page because I don't have enough posts, so I'll share here for anyone interested.
For anyone wanting to try MIUI for the DX, here's my experience, some tips, and suggestions.
-Beware, installing or trying to install ANY ROM may brick your phone. although it's very rare and unlikely to be unable to find a solution to problems, it can and has happened. so take caution and read instructions and so-forth carefully.
Some history of my DX. I soft-bricked my phone back in the early months of the DX trying to deodex it to install themes. It was stuck on M logo for 2 days before i learned enough from scratch to find out what an SBF was, where to find it, and how to flash my phone back to stock. Ever since then these nice folk on XDA-developers forums and other droid forums have helped me successfully mod my phone many times, through Q&A, detailed instructions, and a little luck.
I've rooted my phone using the command method, Z4Root, and several other processes. Some were hard to figure out, some soft-bricked my phone, most were easy as pie. I'm on a Z4Root atm.
The first successful ROM I installed was GUMMY-JAR. I liked it, it was good to me. nothing like the comprehensive ROMs out now though.
Then I jumped to Liberty 1.5, Liberty x.x etc... Liberty was awesome, but was still basically Froyo with advanced options. I loved it.
Now, just today, I've installed MIUI. And let me tell you, its amazing!
For anyone running Froyo Liberty ROMs, I believe that you can install MIUI right over the top. I didn't think it was going to work, as I hadn't seen anyone mention if it did or not over the top of Liberty 1.5.
If you want to install MIUI, go here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181486
You MUST be rooted, and be running FROYO, NOT GB! You must also have the Droid X bootstrapper.
I won't give instructions, as I'm not qualified to do so. But I can tell you what I did from Liberty 1.5. MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! 1) I downloaded the MIUI ROM from the above XDA post to my SD card on my phone. 2) I clicked 'bootstrap recovery' on the DX bootstrapper app, then 'reboot recovery.' My phone booted into clockwork recovery mode. 3) wiped data/factory reset. 4) cleared cache. 5) install from SD Card. 6) install MIUI.zip i downloaded from the link i posted above. let it run it's course. rebooted. DONE.
It's really that easy if you are running the DX stock Froyo kernal.
Keep in mind with MIUI, it does NOT auto-sync your Google account. you need to go into the options>>accounts/sync and add your Google account. You can then re-install apps from your backup or just re-download them. Make sure you've synced your contacts with your Google account so they will be there when you add your Google account.
Some thoughts on MIUI...
There is NO STOCK APP DRAWER. I recommend ADW launcher or Launcher PRO. The MIUI launcher inst bad, but it's like iOS in that there's no app drawer. It's just a bunch of screens with all your app icons like an iPhone.
You can download theme's and customize themes through settings>>personal>>theme manager. MIUI allows you to change fonts, boot animation, boot audio, lock-screen style, status bar, icons, launcher, wallpapers, text style, dialer style etc. There's tons of pre-made packages, but you can also change them all individually and create one you like best. You can do all of this directly from the settings menu including looking up new themes, downloading them, and applying them.
MIUI is running on 2.3.4 GB. So it wont say 2.2 anymore after you install. (I believe the kernal is still Froyo though? Please correct me if I am wrong)
I really hope this helps some of you newbies. I am thankful for all of you that have made posts like this that I have found useful in the past.
Note- some people are having issues installing MIUI. They are getting bootlooped on the M logo for some reason. I have no idea why this is, it worked perfectly for me first try. Just remember to follow the instructions on the ROM page, and that you are running the correct version of Android. You shouldn't get a boot-loop if you do so.
Hope this helps!

i have a question.... and this question is what will decide if i keep this or go back to liberty gingerbread....
how the hell do i flash anything.. i can't even install clockwork mod without getting bootloops.... and i'd love to flash certain apps onto this.... but if this can not be done i will have to go back.... the only thing going into recovery does is use the retarded original recovery... and that is a big deal.. if i ruin my phone on the go and need to pullup a backup i can not do this with this rom and i will end up phoneless until i can get to a computer to sbf

What exactly are you asking? "Flashing" is the process of basically overwriting your current Android OS with an Android OS SBF. If you are trying to install MIUI, you cannot do it with Gingerbread installed on your phone. "You MUST be on CyanogenMod 7 or .340 Froyo to flash this rom!" (MIUI)
If you want to install MIUI, i think the best bet would be SBF flashing to stock DX 2.2 .340 FROYO, re-rooting, then using the DX boot-strapper to boot into recovery. Then installing the MIUI .zip from SDcard in the recovery menu. Everything should work fine after that. Rmember you CANNOT go into recovery using DX boot-strapper once this ROM is installed. you CAN go into recovery with this ROM using ROM-manager. This is what I have experienced so far, and what others have said also.

no.. i already have the rom installed... i just want to be able to go into recovery without needing to be booted up.
i'm trying to install some zips through clockwork such as the old blur camera and a few other things... i will install rom manager and see how it goes from there... i love the UI of this rom but as far as being comfortable and stable.. liberty gingerbread has my vote as of now
i've cleared my cache and data several times and i get force closes alot. and this is a clean install coming straight after an SBF.
with liberty gingerbread i had the ability to set it so every phone reboot, even if a battery pull, would boot directly into clockwork mod.. making it easy for me in case i installed a zip that would get me into bootloop

Hmm, sorry mate, I dunno what to tell ya. Try looking aroudn forums or startign a new thread. someone more knowledgable than you or me will help you out.

thanks for everything though!! this really is a beautiful rom and i'd love to stick with it... i'll bite the bullet for the meantime and post around to get some help... i'd love to post in the developer section but i don't have enough posts yet.. haha

You need to install Rom Manager, and select flash Clockwork Recovery. Make sure you select Droid X (2nd Init). Then you can reboot into recovery with Rom Manager :-D

but the problem is that i would like to be able to go into recovery without having to do it through an app... i'd like to make it so every reboot (including battery pull) makes it boot into recovery. thats how i had liberty gingerbread doing it... if not.. i can live with it.. i'll just be a little more careful on what i'm installing

Just wanted to chime in about MIUI rom, I just flashed it yesterday and am ABSOLUTELY loving it thus far. I had no trouble at all installing the rom what-so-ever. I used ROM Manager to do the whole thing: downloaded newest ver. of MIUI, backup current ROM, wipe data and dalvik. Let it run its course and it rebooted and was up and running in no time flat!
