I was about to flash the new Virtuous Unity ROM (currently running fusion) so I wiped the SD card and factory reset.
After doing so, my phone won't turn back on. I battery pull then attempt to turn back on in which case, it goes to the boot screen (MyTouch 4G then then WITH HTC SENSE screen) and then just goes black.
Won't turn back on nor charge until another battery pull.
I can get into download mode though. Wiping data/wiping cache from recovery didn't help.
What should I do?
EDIT - flashed new ROM, stuck on bootloop, battery pull, wipe data, seems to work now. What could've happen though?
Have the same problem
exactly the same, going to try a few more options now. Just hope I didn't brick the phone
If you did a data wipe then tried to reboot you'd get a bootloop because you essentialy erased the rom

OK I just saw this on the virtuous unity website:
"Expect the first boot to take anywhere from 6-10 minutes. During this period, your phone will sit at the boot animation; just be patient. Subsequent reboots should be significantly quicker."
So I guess I was just impatient, let's try again.
If I don't post any other reply, means I succeeded and was too lazy to come back just for that.
You deleted all your root files, recovery files, boot image, everything when you
wipe your sd. While would you wipe your sd card in the first place? There's no need for that when flashing.

yeah thats true why ?? so i think if u fixed it then ur ok.. if wont fix.. try downloadin stock rom or iced glacier rom nd that should work .. if not ur glacier is donned lol.. but u can try like downgrading it but just follow the PG151IMG.zip post .. just search [GUIDE] Downgrade G2 (2.3.X) & DZ (2.3.X) & mT4g (2.3.4) sorry cant post links.. nd try then root with gfree the[ true s=off guide
Try inster usb into phone and in recovery mount usb. Download rom on pc than send it to ur phones sdcard. Wipe all system, etc. Then flash rom on sdcard and it should boot up

i was trying to theme my phone, when i pushed it to the phone, it crashed, and got stuck in a boot loop... i then booted it into recovery, and flashed my old rom back, but now i'm stuck at the white screen with the htc logo, i can still get into the clockwork mod recovery...
my question is how do i get back into my rom?
damn, sorry this was meant for the desire subforum, i will make a new post there... just close this thread...
If you still need help it sounds like you didnt brick Ur phone otherwise it wouldn't start at all. If you have access to recovery then what I would do is format , system,data, cache, etccc... except SD card of course them reflash your Rom again .
Still doesn't work then I would use RUU_supersonic factory stock shipped Rom then root again using unrevoked 3.2 which is full root and nand unlock

I too am having this issue and it really is pissing me off, I was s-off on the eng bootloader .85 and used the gfree method. I was on gorillas rom cwm 2....and decided to use the thunderbolt rom using cwm 3.06. I may have been on it for 5 minutes then my phone just turned off and went into boot loops. When i went into cwm I got an error on mounting. I then downloaded the PD15IMG zip and when I hit volume up to update it fails on the first one showing bootloader fail, so im stuck not being able to do anything.

Main issue with me was that my sd card got erased somehow and that part7backup file deleted and I have no way in gettin it back cause my computer got wiped while gettin repaired,so I just called tmobile and they snt me a replacement,i just got tired of tryin to fix it,i should of stayed on iced glacier lol...
Tried using that pd15 in hboot reconizes the file but then says update fail,cant do nothing after that..my sd card erased somehow and computer got wiped while gettin repaired..
Well you said you backed up with 2.x.x then flashed with 3.0.0.5? Why didn't you just flash cwm 3.0.0.6? And on the off chance that its the actual recovery you could push a new recovery via adb

hi, i have been reading up alot today on how to root and install a rom on my xoom, i rooted it fine then i went to the ics thread and downloaded the latest build, v17... put the zip on the sd card and went into recovery mode, choose to install zip from sd and installed it, then went to reboot device and it rebooted but came to a black screen that says android across the middle, its been on that screen for 20 mins now, help please lol
sorry... sorted problem, im guessing its bcos i wasnt installing google apps from zip too, sorry again
Honestly I have run into the same issues...hold down the volume up button + power...your Xoom should reboot.
Then you see the red Motorola logo wait 3 seconds and hit volume down...you should see "Android Recovery Mode" in the upper left corner.
Hit volume up to select....your device should enter recovery mode.
From here wipe data factory reset...wipe cache partition...then go to advanced...and wipe dalvik cache.
Then go to install zip from SD card and reinstall the ROM and Gapps and you should be fine, the first boot can take up to 10 minutes so don't panic...

No, don't be sorry. That was a great explanation.
I know you got it fixed but I will say this:
Always do a full wipe when flashing a new rom. In this case, the ICS build was a new ROM and you should have wiped.
Usually you do not need to do a full wipe if you are just flashing a new build of the same ROM (if you go to a new nightly for instance). Just need to clear cache/delvik and reinstall gapps.
is there anything else i can do to flash roms still? or am i stuck on my icecoldsandwich backup forever?
Bootloader version?
how would one go about locating this?
Reboot. When your screen goes black and backlight on keys goes out hold down volume down to boot into bootloader. Write down the info displayed at the top of the screen and post it here.

Is bootloader even relevant here? Anyway, are you sure its the eMMC? Usually symptoms for bad emmc include lag and ending up with a shiny paperweight. Why domt you try reflashing cwr?

Yes it is relevant. Very. Ever since the HTCdev unlocked boot loader came about I've seen some weird things. By telling us what bootloader he has we know exactly what he is dealing with.

Engineering bootloader. So you should be good to flash another rom. Reflash CWM recovery using ROM manager, just in case there is sonething wonky with your recovery. Download your desired rom. Reboot into recovery. Make a backup. Go to mounts and storage. Format system and data, and wipe cache. Go back to main menu and hit wipe data/factory reset. Then install your rom.
If you have tried those steps before to no avail then.... I don't know.
Tried flashing cwm again through rom manager again. I was getting hopeful when I noticed the bootanimation was lasting longer then usual...then my heart sank when it froze.
Just to make sure I did it right
I reflashed cwm using the rom manager app
Formatted system data and cache under mounts and storage
Factory data and full wipe them cache and dalvik
Flashed the latest version of the ice cold sandwich rom
And then freeze..
No, that was pretty frickin thorough. Man.... what a drag. I don't get it. Does anyone have any ideas at all?
Flash a non ics Rom, that might be it

what if you tried flashing one of those RUU files at least to get hte phone back to stock.
You know where you hook your phone up to the computer and then run the .exe file from your computer?
Hi,
I am having an issue with my phone where the phone keeps on boot looping. I have read the brick guide and I tried the solutions in there but I am still stuck with a boot loop.I managed to install clockwork and cm 7.2 on the phone but it still boot loops and it has the good emmc chip as well. I also flashed the pd15img in hboot it doesn't return any errors and still loops. Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mine boot loops with just about every ICS rom except (so far) the new chameleon one. It does the thing where if I get an incoming text when I try to check it it restarts the phone, and after a few days it boot loops permanently. What I mean by that is I'll try to use the phone and it's in the rom's splash screen just looping and looping and doesn't stop until I turn off the phone.. So when that happens I have to hold the volume down, turn the phone on, and wait until the boot menu comes up.. Then go into recovery and wipe data, cache, dalvik, and flash a new rom and gapps. It really sucks because I love PACman rom's and they boot loop the most.
Oh also my phone kept not booting once because my back button got stuck down.. So check your buttons too? Hopefully something there helps. I'm still trying to find out why PACman rom's hate me! Good luck!
Everybody please read the op in the developer's roms they all tell you to wipe cache/dalvik this what I do when I install any rom I throws out all the bugs and gets the rom moving normally

That's not it.. I wipe my data, cache, and dalvik cache 3x before flashing a new ROM. I think the problem may have something to do with the kernel the devs are using because both Pacman and evervolv roms do it the worst, and I noticed Pacman is using evervolv's kernel. chameleons ROM doesn't restart or boot loop on me at all..
I had same problem. I installed 4EXT recovery and formatted everything ext 4 +full wipe.Then installed a different kernel other than stock.That solved all issues.

Had success with factory data reset
Hello. I had the boot loop problem and tried everything (even the wierd twisting thing which worked for others, not me). I ended up fixing the problem by using the factory data reset solution. This is done by holding the power and volume up button until the screen lights up with options. Then select the factory data reset option.
THIS WILL WIPE OUT EVERYTHING except whats on your SD card. So you'll have to redownload all your favortie apps. But i actually liked that new phone feeling after the reset. Hope this helps someone.
