[HELP] Stuck at HTC logo after installing bacon on unofficial CMod

What I did
1. Install unofficial CMod
2. Installed baconbits
Problem after bacon bits install on unofficial CM: i boot up the phone but it gave me an error/popup for every application i was running "google voice has encountered an error" "com.android has encountered an error" etc etc. endless popups to where i couldnt do anything on the phone other than locking and unlocking it.
what i tried to do to fix it:
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Tried applying Stock Recovery, thinking it would somehow help
current problem: stuck at HTC logo
please help! i just want to get it back up and running, any rom... rooted or not. i cant even get into the phone

Wow u really messed up.
Idk how to truly guide u out of this because it seems like u really don't know what ur doing. But your going to have to restore the phone. Read the thread about unrooting and returning to stock.
Also if I'm not mistaking you can fastboot flash system.img and data.img from pc10img.zip but as I said idk 100%
And flashing stock recovery is a no no because it can only read htc zips so it will block you out from flashing a new update.zip

Can you get into fastboot? Power the phone down and hold VolDown+Power.
Flashing baconbits over a non-official CM 6.1 was a mistake.... Baconbits is just an addon for a stock rom... CM 6.1 will have everything that baconbits has and more...

yes i can get into fastboot. problem is finding a htc signed rom... i think

If you are still S-OFF, you can flash clockwork mod recovery using fastboot and then just boot into recovery and install whatever rom...

[Q] How To Go Back To Original/To Install Another Rom

Hello,ive installed gingerbread yoshi rom,but i want to delete it and install the cyanogen mod rom(stable),for my mytouch 3g original.Now how can i do this?ive looked anfd foudn nothing,and also,the downloaded file(rom)from cyanodegn mod rom its 55 mb's,so i just put the whole zip folder into the root of the memory card and go into recovery mode and install from zip?anyways i hope somebody can help,thanks

The only thing you need to do is to put the cyanogen.zip into the root of your sdcard and then boot into recovery and select "flash .zip".
Next time you flash a custom rom I recommend you to make a nandroid backup (this will backup all data including rom). If you don't like the rom you just flashed you are able to recover nandroid backup.

i did that and it gets stuck on the green mytouch screen.i wiped all data,cache partition,then intalled rom from zip and nothing

First, I would superwipe. You can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
Boot into recovery, and assuming you are on amon_ra or clockworkmod recovery, choose intall from zip and run superwipe. Power down the phone and boot back into recovery. Now install Cyanogen mod and you should be fine.
Make sure you have the right cm file for your phone. I don't recall seeing what version of the mytouch you have. For example, if you have the original mytouch with the 32B, and If you updated the radio and spl when you installed Yoshi ginger, make sure you get the cyanogem mod 6.1 for the 2708 radio.
Good luck.

try yoshi froyo
Sorry, forgot to add this....
you may also want to try Yoshi Froyo rather than cyanogenmod.

What's your fastboot info? Turn the phone on holding (back+power) and post that here.

[Q] Do I have a brick?

I was running CM7 RC3 fine on my phone, then I decided to switch back to my nandroid backup to stock ( I have done this wil ICed glacier/CM7 RC2/RC1/Royal Ginger etc with no problems). And I have been stuck on the boot splash screen the "Tmobile Mytouch 4g" screen for 20 minutes now without any action... is this a brick? I know I should not worry, but I tried wiping the dalvik cache the acahe and reset to factory setting.... still nothing
How do I go about getting the phone to work?
Thanks

are you running recovery 3.0.0.6? have you tried a battery pull?

Yes, a battery pull was tried, and I am running 3.0.0.5... any help is really appreciated

How do I possibly install 3.0.0.6 now? is it possible?
Thanks

need 3.0.0.6 to run stock or royal glacier. or 2.5.1.2. need to reinstall cm7 and use rom manager to flash recovery. or at least its the eaisest way for me.

follow drews guide and let us know how it goes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681

unfortunately, I am not being able to go back to royal ginger (its on the toyal ginger splash screen now) I am downloading CM7 RC3 again, but have no way to put it on the sdcard coz I do not have a card reader at this point....... so frustrated.

you can use recovery to mount usb and it will mount the sd card and can tranfer files from computer to card. if you can get to recovery its not bricked. make sure you format boot sys data and cache in mount screen before trying reflash.

Push the cwm 3.0.0.6 recovery image to your phone via adb

Google easy way to get 3.0.0.6 and it should be a zip file u flash in recovery called clockwork_recoveries.zip or something like that. You go into rom manager pick all recoveries and flash 3.0.0.5 and reboot into recovery and it should say 3.0.0.6 now u can flash any rom and restore without getting stuck

Your phone is not bricked. As others have stated, you need to re-flash a gingerbread ROM (like CM7) in order for it to boot.
Best thing to do is install ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.6 because it can flash both gingerbread and froyo ROMs. You can do this in two ways:
1. Re-flash a Gingerbread ROM. Download TrueBlue_Drew's .zip file from his thread in Development and follow his instructions to be able to flash the included recovery images from ROM Manager.
2. If you have the engineering bootloader (0.85.2007, also some people call it ENG SPL), and if you've set up ADB on your computer, then you can use the fastboot utility to flash recovery images directly to the device. I personally prefer this method. If you can't find instructions to do this, PM me.

[Q] Need urgent help. Stuck in bootloop, CWM 3.0.0.5

Earlier today I installed the "Royal Ginger" ROM using ROM Manager + CWD 3.0.0.5. I made a backup of my previous ROM prior to this.
After the install was completed (as it said in recovery), I tried booting up. I'm in the boot screen for the ROM, and it keeps repeating over and over. I went back into recovery, wiped cache and delvik, and rebooted. Same problem.
Again in recovery, I installed my previous working ROM (the one I have been using for months), and I'm in a bootloop again.
After some google searches, I traced the problem to be CWD 3.0.0.5 and found out that I should flash 3.0.0.6. However, I can't as there is absolutely no way for me to get back into Andriod (stuck in bootloop no matter what ROM is installed.)
Is there anyway to manually flash it? I have the file on my SD card, I just don't know how. Or is there a compatible ROM with 3.0.0.5 that will allow me to install, get in to the market, and use ROM manager to update to 3.0.0.6?
This is very frustrating and would greatly appreciate any help you guys have to offer.

did you make a nandroid of your stock rom, or at least previous rom?

I don't know what a nandriod is unfortunately. I tried a manual flash of 3.0.0.6 using adb shell method, and now the recovery won't even load. FML. I guess I deserve this.

Follow this link to restore back to stock and start again:

Nandroid will back up you're current rom in the state it is. it is HIGHLY suggested to do so before flashing another rom, so you can always revert back to what you had incase there is such problems. It's in the menu of CWM. I would suggest doing it before flashing any rom, it will save you from taking more steps backwards than needed

There is no Nandriod option on my CWD, though I did make a backup of my Old rom. I can't get into CWD anymore anyways, so I guess the only option is to go back to stock?

You need to flash a rom that is ext3.. More or less a froyo rom.. After you do that you should update to cwm 3.0.2.4
Sent from my demonSPEED! Glacier

I can't get into recovery. I tried doing the stock method and the following occured:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery2.img
sending 'recovery' (3948 KB)... OKAY [ 1.357s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.378s
C:\adb>
What happens if I press the factory reset option from the power screen?

Also, how can I push a recovery image using ADB, and then following it up with an installation using ADB commands? I cannot mount the SD card as the recovery is stuck at the splash screen, so the only option is to run a command through ADB installing an image pushed onto the phones main memory.

Why are u using 3.0.0.5? There is a newer version in rom mgr.

I didn't know there was. I can't get back into android to do anything about it though, no matter what I try. Recovery gets me stuck at a splash screen,as does a normal boot.

Can u not boot into recovery from hboot (volume down + power button)?? If not, flash the new recovery in fastboot

[Q] cm7 question

i just installed cm7 (Mills00013's cdma version) and was wondering if i go to the clockwork mod recovery app that was installed with it, would flashing clockworkmod recovery mess up my phone, or would it work because i heard that cm7 for xplay can use cmw recovery?
thanks in advance

Old thread, but Clockwork red is normally needed to get CM7 or MIUI started, then Clockwork Blue is installed, and you re-install the ZIP for CM7/MIUI full functional. Clockwork just replaces the stock recovery files.

You can't flash clockworkmod recovery. When you open rom manager, you'll notice that there is no available recoveries for our phones. In addition to that, there is no way for the system to flash a recovery if it wanted to because there is no actual recovery partition to overwrite for our devices. The recoveries we are blessed with using now use a kernel modification to allow recovery to boot from the boot partition, which cannot be touched except with fastboot.
