[Q] help stuck at rubix boot screen

ok, typically i've had no problems installing custom roms. i put rubix on here last night and really don't like it that much. well, my sd card crashed somehow also so i lost all my backups. so, i went into rom manager and was going to reinstall zapx. it went through all the functions and now i'm stuck on the rubix boot screen. it just keeps reloading... i was rooted with 2.2, so what do i need to do now? please help asap. i really need my phone today!!!!
edit:
ok so from looking around i've found that i need to flash the sbf file using rsd lite 4.8. ok so i dl'd rsd no problem. i dl the sbf file and click to open and it doesn't work. i tried to "use rsd" to open and still nothing... am i missing something on my pc to run this sbf file?
edit #2:
so i got the sbf file to run in rsd... install went good and fast. phone boots up to "welcome to droidx touch the android to begin", i touch it and nothing happens... just flashes. emergency dial won't work, change language does work... thats it... please help!!!
LAST EDIT:
got it figured out... was looking in the wrong place for the file... soooo, nevermind to all help... oh wait....................

I personally like it when I get to take both sides of the conversation. I usually agree with myself (usually).
Glad you figured it out.

yeah that was fun. i'm learning sooo much about these things. it actually makes me happy when i figure it all out on my own without having to wait on answers... after all the messing with roms and everything, now that i have the 2.2 ota sbf installed, i re-rooted and its running great. not sure i'll even put a different rom on anymore. no need really. i'm overclocked and i hit a 1665 quadrant score. rubix was great except the camera app. even with the 8mp fix on the cam and 720p fix on camcorder i just hate the way it doesn't use the widescreen effect like on the stock camera... thats my 2 cents about my situation today!

Help! My HTC HD does not startup anymore

I don't knwo where to post this exactly so here it goes.

thats just the default android boot screen, looks like the theme messed up your framework... hold on i'll make a .zip you can flash from recovery to fix it

Thanks, but how do I get the zip on the phone? It does not react to anything anymore. I attahced it to my PC but nothing....

im just downloading the rom for you now so i can extract the framework, if you pull your battery out, you can either plug in your charger while its off, this will bring up recovery, or while its off, hold vol down and press power, that will take you to bootloader, and just pick recovery from the list, now when in recovery, if you navigate to the mounts and storage menu, choose the option mount usb storage, you can now connect to a pc as a disk drive and copy stuff to your sd card

im having trouble uploading attachments to xda at the min dya want me to upload it to megaupload for you?

AndroHero,
Thank you for helping me out. I didn't know about the vol down press power option which allows you to acces the sd card and intall a new rom. I had the revolution rom 2.0.9 already. It's installing as we speak. Much thanks for the tips!

To early hooray. I choose the option with the revolution zip for a complete install. After the install I selected rebouut system now. Now it stays on the white HTC screen with the text HTC quitely brilliant. Flashing every 3 seconds or so....
What to do now?

Everything is resolved. revolution is up and running again. I had to un the fullwipe.zip and that did it!
THANKS a lot for all the tips....again

Did you do a full wipe before re-flashing your ROM? even if you did just repeat the process , full wipe /cache, /dalvik-cache, /system and then re-flash the rom fingers crossed it should work

Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I tried flashing the cyanogen mod and after installing it the phone doesnt boot up. Its stuck on the t-mobile boot up logo. Ive tried restoring my back up but I get the same problem.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

boot into recovery do a full wipe (system, data, cache and dalvik-cache) then re-flash your rom

Could it be possible that you installed cwm 3005 and tried a restore with that. I had the same problem. Went back to cwm 2.5.x and then restore worked.
Sent from my Desire HD

I think there will be a lot of scare because of this CWM 3x...
Same happened to me the other day, stupidly accecpted the update prompt from Rom Manager, did my backup and went to install Cyanogen 6... Got stuck at HTC logo next boot.
Thankfuly, had Leedroid 2.0 on the SD, too, and that one flashed properly
Thing is that when I try to downgrade the Recovery to 2.5x I get an error and really can't be bothered with ADB pushing stuff around, so using Cyanogen 7 for the time beeing
Anyhow, CWM 3.x is likely your problem, easy to fix ^^

Wanting to change my theme on the Samsung spica I had theexact problem on cyanogen mod. Had to redo the whole rooting and installing the Rom again to get to work.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

yes, is some script...back to recovery 2.x

[Q] Help to Uninstall ver. 2.3.3

I had the Liberty 1.5 ROM on my Droid Rooted with Rom Manager Clock Work recovery and everything was fine until..
I found a file on the web called Monster_D2_2.3.2_4.5.153 I used Clock Work recovery and installed it.
Now my phone says I have Android Version 2.3.3 Build Number STAB
Kernal Version: 2.6.32.9-gd72dc5da20523
It's running fine but I have lost ClockWork Recovery. I can not root the phone after trying several different methods. I can not install anything on it with its stock recovery without getting a signiture failure in the stock recovery and worst of all I can not uninstall it or overwrite it with anything I have loaded on the SD card.
I would be happy to remove this build and re-install Liberty.
I would be even more happy If I could just get this rooted and have my clockwork recovery back.
can anyone help me by pointing me to a thread or link that can help?
Thanks SO much

The problem is that there isn't a known process for rooting Gingerbread (except for installing a pre-rooted ROM)
SBF back to stock, and then you should be able to root, install clockworkmod, and then reinstall Liberty.

Yup, SBF is the way to go.

If you made a backup of liberty before you installed 2.3.3, after you root and put clockwork on, you should be able to just restore it.
It's always good to do as much research as you can before trying anything like that.

I installed VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf
Then I was able to root the phone and use my root applications. The device is very slow and too sketchy to complete anyone task so it was a failure.
Now with your advice I should get back on the right track. Thank You very much for the response. I thought for a moment I might have to drop my phone on the pavement and go to phoneclaim dot com. But you cant learn anything taking the easy way out. lol I'll post the outcome.

Yup, as long as you can get the phone into bootloader mode, the phone isn't bricked.
Hope everything works out!

I've had that performance problem after SBF'ing as well. I think I cleared data and rebooted a couple times to address the issue...

Complete Recovery!
Thank You SO much!

I began having a black screen.after a few weeks on gingerbread so I decided to sbf back to froyo but it failed now my phone gives the MOTO logo and goes directly to a black screen. I can't get it into flash mode even with holding the arrow up key. I'm out of ideas here so I'm really hoping to find a way to get this working again without being worried that its truly bricked. Any help would be greatly appreciative.

Have you been able to boot into anything else, such as the stock recovery?

upgrade problems, unable to FTM etc etc

just got myself an zte blade, and installed universal androot, rom manager,
recovery manager and some other stuff,
BUT i cannot get in the FTM mode, its just a green man and the tlf just resets, and resets and resets as long as i press VOL -..
ive tried VOL+ also, no results..
i wanna upgrade to cyangen or 2.2 froyo but no luck..
the rom manager downloads the cyangen, but when i tell it to flash and install it resets and boots up again like nothing ever happened..
the clockworkmod says i need to install a custom recovery??
i really need something easy!
ive got a hold of the swedish froyo that has an EXE file to run from the pc, but then i need to get into FTM. and i cannot..!!??
plz help out!!!

also i have tried privacy and return to factory, tried rooting, tried unrooting, tried recoverymod and then reset, but nothing..
am i missing something??
i have changed the memorycard.. is that it?

i have flashed it..
i fitted the original sdcard and went tor and rooted it like 5 times, tried some recoverystuff, and suddenly i got a program to start working with the clockwork recoveryflash, and i told my phone to rboot and install rom, it restarted, went into the flash setup, and i had to find cyangenmodzip and flash from there.. and it worked, then i had to install googleapps.. took me a while to realixze HOW to get market in there.. but mnow its all good..

[Q] Stuck in boot loop after Flashing Liberty

I am in need of some help with my Droid 2 that I rooted and flashed. Everything was going smoothly up until I flashed the rom and now i am stuck at the Motorola M and in a boot loop. I have pulled the battery and tried to re-install and still nothing. I re-installed to sbf and tried the whole process over multiple times and still nothing. I have watched many how to videos even though this is my 4th time rooting a phone i know they are all different, and i seem to be doing all the right steps and no matter what i do im stuck at the Motorla Logo. Please help!

What are you flashing it from? Froyo? GB?
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium

I've tried both medthods...Froyo originally. So I tried OTA to GB and then flash it...that didnt work either. What is the last sbf for the droid 2 anyway?

You should be on OTA GB when flashing it.
Check your MD5, lots of people seem to be having problems getting it to match.

Look at my thread on the Droid 2 Global section.. do steps 9-11 only.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060694

If you're flashing Liberty you can try using Rom Manager. Otherwise after you install GB and root, install Bootstrapper, run it's installation tab then recovery. Once in recovery wipe cache, wipe data, then select zip from sd and install.
Make sure you have the proper version of Liberty for your phone.

Hi, I am also having the same issue
I had Liberty 2.0 v2.0.1 and wiped data and installed from SD, stuck at splash screen
I pulled the battery and tried 2 more times, still same issue
Then I wiped the cached, wiped data and installed from SD and I'm still stuck at the splash screen, any help is greatly appreciated!

1) Try wiping davlik cache as well
2) Make sure you have the version of Liberty designed for your handset. It shouldn't flash anyway if it's the wrong one, but anything is possible.
Are you guys using Rom Manager or Bootstrapper by the way? Just wondering.
Also, if you're coming from a Rom already on there and you mess up you can use Clockwork to restore your last saved system image.
