hello all
sorry if this is in the wrong section.
today i decided i didnt like my old rom and tried to install fission using the fission rom manager. in the install screen, i forgot to check the wipe box by mistake.
now my phone WILL NOT go any farther than the white moto logo at the very beginning of the boot animation. Is there anyway I can fix this? i am not that experienced at this stuff, so a good explanation is needed. please help!
i just figured out how to get to (stock) recovery from boot, but even after wiping and retryin a few times, it still wont work....
i have also not upgraded or updated really anything since i got my phone months ago, except root, and deodex, and flyx rom
-matt
You won't lose root, and when you sign back into google all your apps will come back. Did you make a recent backup? If so you can use it from recovery

You can even wipe and reinstall if you still wanna try fission since you're in recovery.

google has all of my tons of apps? sik. but from recovery there is no option to restore/backup nandroid, like bootstrap
the options are reboot, apply sdcard update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition
Oh you're in stock recovery... Just wipe and reboot.

well thanks for helping, but even after i wiped 3 or 4 times trying, it still desnt work. any ideas?
idk if fission requires 2.3.32 or somethin, but i dont think i hav updated anything since i got my phone a long time ago, just thought id add that
Try pulling the battery, should reboot to clockwork recovery when you put battery back in, then you can restore a backup or flash a rom from sd card.

Most roms require .320/.340. You definitely wanna upgrade if you plan on flashing in the future.

well neither of those solve my problem, i am debating on whether on not to take it to verizon, but idk if they will even help me.
if you can get to clockwork recovery you can download a rom by computer and transfer to your sd card, or put your card in another phone to download it. Then flash that rom. Be sure to mount the system before flashing

Hi matt.. soon after getting my X, I got stuck in your situation while flashing a rom. I took it to verizon and after trying to troubleshoot it for a few minutes, they decided to just overnight me another one. I told them that I woke up and the phone was stuck at the M. I didn't mention anything about being rooted or trying to flash a rom.
The phone was also within the one year warranty though. You might want to try this route if all else fails.
Good luck!!

If everything else fails you can sbf. I'll pm you a link for the 2.2315 full sbf, just download rsd lite 4.8 and google how to do a sbf if your not familiar. Then you can do the official ota and be up to date
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
thnx everyone. ive never sbf'ed before, but ill give it a shot. i wish i could get to clockwork, it would make everything so much easier.
i triedflashing a new sbf, but rsdlite gives me the error- could not find initial values in the ini file or somthin... any ideas? its my fisrt time putting on a new sbf.

What version of rsd are you using? you can just sbf .320 full then .340 system only and it will be updated no need to sbf an old file.
i am using the newest rsd i could find. 4.9 right? and it seems as if i need pst_flash.ini according to the sbf installation instructions i found here
edit: hey thnx everyone for the help. i took it to verizon and the techs said it was a "complete software crash". yay i bricked my phone:/... the good news is that verizon is overnighting me a new one.
when i get it i am going to root it. i also want it to be the latest sbf or whatever its called so i can get either fission or gummyjar on there. now i need 2 more questions answered.
1. which option in about is the one that tells me what sbf im on?
2. i kinda need a really good tut on how to flash a new sbf and get it to .340 because i clearly failed miserably at it last time, so anyone have a link or willing to write it up?
It should have.340 on it or be ready to update. You can check by going to settings, about phone, build number. It should say 2.2.340
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
oh build number. thnx bro, so many confusing numbers, why cant there just be simple names? lol
Full SBF isn't out yet for 2.3.340 you will need the SBF for 2.3.320 and then the patches to get to 2.3.340. Keep it handy just in case!
yah i have the .15 sbf right now for safe keeping but i cant find the .32 or the .34 patch, but it isnt urgent since i heard that the new phone that is coming will be preloaded with the newest everything.
can i just use z4root to root my new phone? or do i have to do the doroot thing in adb like i originally did on my first dx?
I also wanted to know if i could use one of the kernels i saw in the fission rom manager with a rom other than fission, such as gummyjar.
So I installed kaoscinate v5. I could not get wifi to work.it just said error. When wiped, wiped, wiped and then restored black hole 4.2 my wifi still not work so I tried loading black hole 4.21 on a fresh install.still no go I tried a new install of super clean 2.4. Finally I had to move back to stock everything, reroot, flash eb01 modem then load my restore file and it worked, any ideas? I want to continue to test kaoscinate but not if that's how I have to restore every time

First off, Kaoscinate V5 is in a very early stage, and you should not expect everything to work. Wifi is one of those things. That is one of the things that is not yet supported, so I am not surprised that Wifi didnt work in it. I would go install Adrenalynes Fix All DI01, then the EB01 Modem, EB01 rom, etc...
I knew it would be buggy, I have never tested a newer rom before and did not realize the issues can move from rom to rom when restoring.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Yeah, it kinda sucks, but just get you a good healthy backup, then a good titanium backup. Then worst case you can odin and be right back where you were in twenty minutes. Worth it for me to be able to try out all this cool new stuff.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I will have to do that, I keep titanium up to date. I am going to play with just rom some more I will just have to have a process to recover faster if it happenes again. Thanks for the input.

Sorry to bother everybody once again but i ran into a little problem.
i tried restoring my image file from cwm and it just froze into the samsung screen, i tried clearing all the data,cache and dalvik and still wont work.
so i tried to flash odin files dj20 system and kernel and it worked for a while but when i restarted the phone it keeps going to the recovery screen, i do not know what else i can do. i tried so many searches on this forum and google and i cant find a way that works for me, so i am stuck at the recovery screen. please help.

well i tried everything and somehow i got it to boot up again, but....no wifi or 3g network works, so im guessing the radio file got deleted, is there a way to fix that or am i screwed
hardware version i400.0.6
model number SHC-I400
Firmware version 2.1-update1
baseband version S:i400.0.6v.DL17
kernel version 2.6.29
SHC-I400.DJ20
Yup, that's normal... re flash the cwm recovery through imnuts guide, and restore your backup
If you don't have one, then flash the DL17 clean rom...
Your radio is fine, btw xD
Oh, and also btw, be honest... After you followed the magical guide to the T, was that what you thought got it to work, or did you try something else in between? if you did something else, then I'll add it to the magical fix post xD thanks in advance

i dont think my radio is fine anymore, i was too impatient that i flashed the dl09 radio.
well i did alot, i cant really tell you what i did in exact order because there was too much at 4 in the morning after working on this for 6 hours but here we go:
odin cwm recovery
used new update.zip from cwm forum
tried flashing adryns rom and imnuts kernel
tried flashing dj20 system and kernel
fixed permissions
tried nandroid restore
used "magical fix"
had to reinstall my drivers for samsung because of magical fix
repartition device via odin
reflashed dj20 system and kernel via odin
radio file not working so i flashed dl09(because i was too impatient and panicking)
turned on, set up phone, turn off, download mode,
odin cwm recovery with former update.zip
cwm flashed adrynalynes rom and peanutbutterjelly kernel
rebooted, then rebooted back to recovery,
restored nandroid backup
phone works once again
i do not know if that helps, well thats all i did, and i believe it was it that order
You officially just tbagged your self now when it comes to updates xP
I told you nothing was wrong with the modem
Yes, a fascinate modem might work on our phone, but Now if we get an update, your not going to be able to flash it xP lol...
if this doesn't bother you, that's okay xD but if it does, there might be something you can do (aka... Pm me xP)
Sent from my Continuum
I know! Ahhh! I read that right after I had already flashed the radio. It kind of does bother me so I, pm'd you
Sent from my mind
You'll be able to flash an update via Clockwork when a ROM is created so I wouldn't worry too much.

Not unless someone modifies the update xD all you would have to do though is delete the modem-delta file xD

I had encounter ICS, which was great, but isn't ready to be a daily rom, so I use koush's app to reboot into recovery.
then I got stuck at the boot animation, so I decided to open up the stock recovery, and wiped data/factory reset like an idiot. So now all i have is stuck at the M logo, or stock recovery.
Am I going to have to use an official update.zip to flash, then root my phone again?
You are going to have to sbf.
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
okay, so I sbf'd back to stock froyo (only GB sbf I can find around the net is a megaupload link, which is obviously not very helpful nowadays) and let it do an OTA update to GB.
I then root, just like i have before, using the motorola one click root program on my computer.
I get root, install koush's bootstrap, and reboot into recovery. I then try to install libertyv3 2.0, which seems to go well...
until i reboot. once i reboot my phone, I'm stuck back at the bootloader, and can't do anything except SBF all over again.
seriously, what's going on? maybe this liberty .zip is broken or something? (i had to find a mirror, because A team gummy's site seems to be down, and B the only other official mirror is megaupload)
I'm going to try another rom, probably encounter ICS because i already have it on my SD card.
this time, I actually read the instructions and tried to install Liberty with clockwork recovery instead of koush.
still. effing. happening.
I reboot after flashing the zip and I can't get past the bootloader screen.
Code:
Bootloader
D2.37
Err:A5,69,35,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I'm seriously at wit's end here. I just got this phone but a couple days ago after I lost my original. it's an insurance replacement. I rooted with the moto one click root, and used koush to install encounter ICS. after not knowing about encounter's wonky way of activation the custom bootloader, I mistakenly wiped the phone with the stock bootloader. I SBf'd back to stock froyo, then OTA updated to gingerbread.
That is my entire history with this phone. what the hell could possibly be wrong with it?
Do you wipe data/cache/dalvic once before you flash and twice after? Liberty is dead use ICS.

I did certainly wipe before flashing, but have never not once heard of wiping twice after flashing. wouldn't that undo the flash? what's the point of that? And like I said, I would use encounter ICS, but it's nowhere near stable enough for daily use.
When you wipe after its just to make sure everything is stock. As long as you don't wipe /system the rom will still be there. Actually if you can live without a camera EncounterICS is an amazing daily driver. Also never use bootstrap unless you're on stock gb.
Sent from my DROID2 ICS using xda premium
I can live without a camera, but google music barely works, which is something I can't live without. I'm thinking about going back to Apex until encounter gets really good (had apex for months up until i lost my original phone)
Google music is working fine for me. Good idea apex is great.

Hey guys. I've read that this is a common issue. I am rooted and stuck on 3.26 and I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to get it to update. It starts to download 4.08 but it doesn't reboot after I hit install. I read about loading stock roms but I'm not sure if I can do that being flashed to Straight talk. Anything will be appreciated! Thanks.

Well you should be able to flash any rom you want. Service and data settings are stored deeper than roms reach. The only way those settings will get wiped out is if you do a factory reset from hboot, or from the storage and sd menu within the os. If something at the os level is required, you can just backup before hand, and then restore if somethimg dosent work. You should just be able to flash the stock 4.08.605.15 rom in the dev section right over 2.2 without wiping anything if you want to stay stock.
The ota will not install because you are rooted. For it to imstall you must be unrooted and complete stock.
That being said i do not have straight talk, so i dont know all the details. You could use QPST http://dinc.does-it.net/QPST/ to backup all those settings to a file on your pc, and then restore them if something ever goes wrong.
Thanks so much! If I have any other questions when I do this can I PM you?

Sure no problem. I would definitley setup qpst and backup your service and data settings, and do a nandroid before doing anything.
How hard was it to get data working when you flashed it to straight talk, i heard that was the trickiest part? I am thinking of doing this my self. Verizons new plan just sucks for a 1 phone plan.
I didn't do it myself. I get all my phones from a guy that flashes them to ST and the data works perfectly . If you can figure it out or find someone who can its definitely worth it.
