Ok, I am having a MAJOR ISSUE. On OMJ's ROM. I'll probably re-post tomorrow morning, because I need help. I downloaded the new ROM using ROM Manager. Then I cleared off the storage using clockwork, and flashed the new ROM from the phone. The market was broken, and Titanium wasn't working. Then I tried re-wiping so that I could restore my backup, and from clockwork it said that the backup was having an error. Now I can't get out of the fastboot screen. When I hit reboot, the phone boots into fastboot... Can someone please help?
When I turn on my phone, I have the white screen with the skateboarding android robots at the bottom. At the top is green words starting in SUPERSONIC.
My options are:
Bootloader
Reboot
Reboot Bootloader
Power down

this doesn't belong in the development section. should be in Q&A.
but, turn off your phone and hold the volume down key and the power button. you should get the skateboarding androids but your bootloader should have an option to go to recovery. not sure exactly what you did, but once you get into recovery just flash another rom.
Sorry bout the location. It goes into the damn clockworkmod recovery screen when I do this. When I go to install zip from sd card, and choose the omj one, it just kinda skips over it, the screen goes back to the menu like it did do something, then I hit reboot, and I'm back on the skateboard screen. Gawd I hope I didn't brick it.

OMG, I did what you said, and I cleared it twice more, and it let me flash! Now should I go back into the recovery menu and clear my factory settings, and wipe dalvik etc to be sure?

if you already cleared your data and did a factory reset then you're set. just flash a rom and you should be good to go.
it's not a brick if your phone turns on btw.
I'm not sure if it works for the evo or not but try connecting to the computer and typing fastboot oem boot
That should reload you to where you were.
Then once your in your phone, just start from a clean slate by re rooting and copying the pc36img from toast tut. And running that.
BTW. Sorry if I sound drunk. It's because I am. I'll fix my post tomorrow if i read it.

If u made a clockwork backup reboot doing down and power buttons. Go to partitions., mount sdcard and plug your phone in to computer.. put a rom on the root of your sdcard,. Hit unmount sdcard,. Hit power,. Install zip from sdcard,. Then volume up once and you should see the rom zip you put on the sdcard, . Hit it and u should be all good from there..

My EVO is running 2.2 and rooted (quickboot works and I have superuser)
I download a ROM with Rom Manager, I tell it to backup and wipe. then boot.
the EVO come up with 4 options: Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down.
and just sit there, NOW WHAT!!!
(a power down and then back on returns me to what i had before.)
You're in the bootloader screen. It's white, click on bootloader and it should take u a screen that says recovery, fastboot etc. You can do a nandroid backup manually and install the rom manually as well...which i recommend to do because clockworkmod is known to not wipe properly. And u posted in the wrong section

thanks for replying.
hitting the power button on bootloaded will return me to the same four options
That's only happened to me when I had a ROM that didn't load. From the white screen click the "recovery" option and try to load your ROM from there.
thanks for help.
When I do a Volume/power on and hit power at recovery my options are Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down

If I'm not mistaken I think its doing that because the recovery was not flashed correctly. Try going back to "Rom Manager" and choose the "Flash Recovery" option and then try to load your rom. That same issue happened to me and that solved the problem.
Thanks for replying.
that did it > Fixed
thanks again
Thanks that solved it, thanks again.
I got a little problem here
I was playing Angry Birds today when everything just froze.. touching would do nothing.. side buttons/power button wouldn't do anything.. not even haptic feedback on the touch buttons or whatever.. This had happened to me before, and the phone would restart itself, blabla, everything would be cool again.
Not this time!!
I turn my phone on but the boot (HTC) screen will stay on for a few minutes.. then goes black, and then vibrates and starts again.
At first I thought this was a problem with my ROM (CM7 Stable), so I tried going to the bootloader menu. It came up, but was unresponsive. I try and try again but only some times will it actually be functional, and even then, when I try to go into recovery, the boot screen stays stuck.

Not much at all. If you can get to the white screen and to the boot loader, it can be fixed. Do you still have your recovery installed? Try holding the volume button down while booting and see if it goes into recovery. If so, you can restore the NAND back up you are supposed to have done. If it goes into a black screen with a red triangle, your recovery is gone and you have to reflash it via the boot loader by getting a flashable zip file on your SD card and naming it "PC36IMG.zip". (Make sure you do not add ".zip" to the end of the file name, or it will be named "PC36IMG.zip.zip" and will not be recognized by the boot loader.)
Amon RA recovery zip file can be downloaded here ready to go: http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
If you do not have a NAND back up, just try wiping the cache and dalvik cache and try booting again. If that doesn't work, you may need to reflash your rom as if it was a new install and start over.
Worse case scenario, run the latest RUU and start over from stock.
Edit: If you did create a NAND that you want to restore, and you created it with Clockwork recovery, you will need to flash that recovery and not the one I linked to you in order to restore it.
If you're able to flash amon RA via the bootloader, I suggest you then download and reflash the hboot from within recovery. You can download it from the link below.

I can't flash the HBOOT, it says to reflash the kernel afterward but I'm on CM and don't have the flashable kernel on my sd card
Plus, after a little bit of being inside recovery, the phone blacks out and tries to boot. Something tells me it's some freak hardware issue...
hello all, my first post.
I have incredible, rooted, with cyanogenmod 7. it has been working as normal for months and months. the other day, it just got stuck in the boot animation. i hadn't changed anything, system tweaks, etc, right before this.
i hold volume down and press power, and it goes to bootloader mode. normally here, i can select RECOVERY, and then goes to the black screen, where i could do many things, drastic as wipe the phone, reinstall cyanogenmod, g-apps, etc.
whats my problem now, is that when i hold power down and power and get to the white recovery screen, if i select RECOVERY, it doesnt go where it used to. it goes to the OTHER white screen where choices are, REBOOT, POWER DOWN, etc. So i select to go into recovery mode (the black screen) but it never goes there now. Always did before. Just goes to that next white screen, letting me reboot and start the cycle over again. I've tried with no SC card, no difference.
I found a post someone giving specific directions to format sd card, put radio update only on card, and boot with that in phone. I did, and it successfully said it updated, but still nothing has changed.
I cant get into recovery mode, to reformat, wipe, run any updates, nothing. I've tried so many times i can't even guess. I think it has become a brick. But I finally posted here hoping i may find some advice.
Anyone have any ideas of what i can do, if i can get into recovery mode?
if this helps, this all the info on the white screen - holding power down and powering on:
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICORP-0417
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac
RADIO-2.15.00.0000

S-off is security off. It allows you to flash images not signed by HTC. At the top of the hboot screen it should say either s-on or s-off. If it let tou flash cwm recovery you are s-off.
Yes enter recovery, wipe everything in mounts and storage and either flash a stock ruu thru hboot, or flash a rom of your choosing. Do not choose aply update.zip choose install from sdcard, and select your roms zip file.
I would also flash a new radio thru hboot, as i have never seen that version of radio for the incredible. http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios.

ok, so here's where I'm at now:
updated radio via hboot via last link posted. i can now get to recovery screen, which is awesome, but - i can select any of the options and select one, and then it goes to a black screen with the ROM manager hat logo, with a yellow arrow under it. The arrow does not move or rotate, as if it was processing my command. it just sits idle on that logo forever.
i can hit power to go back to the recovery menu, and selecting nothing, well, does anything!
any ideas? just far your replies have gotten me past the loop i was in, so i eagerly hope there's more input for me now as to why none of the options in recovery screen process when i select them, they just go to a logo with the hat and an arrow (remember, the arrow isn't moving at all).
btw its ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0
thanks again,
ben
p.s. - my updated radio is 2.05.00.06.11 now, if that is important.

Do not use the power button to select items in recovery. Use the vol keys to navigate, the trackball to select, and the power button goes back.
same thing
i had the exact same thing just last week - stuck on bootloop with cyanogen 7. I tried some stuff for a little but ended up just switching to an ICS rom. which I am much happier with and would highly recommend.

Can you enter recovery? If so wipe everything in mounts and storrage except emmc and sdcard, and then restore a known good backup or flash a rom fresh. If that dosent work i would do an ruu.
Can he do a ruu from Fastboot or hboot or cwmi thought he had to be able fully boot to use ruu.

He can do a PB31IMG.zip ruu through hboot. To do the ruu.exe with a pc you need to be able to boot to enable usb debuging i think.
i was able to do all the listed in this thread. but after 2 days of searching i still can't find a good solution for formatting /data, I get an error everytime and cm7 is the only rom that I can boot on my dinc. however when i think i have fresh flash, some of my old apps are still there.
if i ruu i get stuck on the red eye screen and the phone reboots.
I'm at a loss

Hello, I made a very foolish decision today. I just recently rooted my phone (i747), and i am still not familiar with roms or flashing or any of that. I installed the Rom Manage app by clockworkmod onto my phone. I did no other preperation other than creating a backup through that app on my phone. Then using that app, i downloaded the CyanogenMod 10.1, directly onto my phone. It then gave me the option to wipe data which i chose not to do. It then started the installation of the rom. Everything started off okay and it looked like it installed. When it rebooted it got stuck on the CyanogenMod circle boot and no matter what i try i cannot fix it.
I cannot stress this enough. I am very new to this stuff and am not exactly sure how everything works. It is my mistake and i understand it was the outcome of my stupidity. However, all I am trying to do is fix my phone. When i try to boot into recovery mode (power, home, and up vol) it just restarts still in the boot logo. Whenever i press power, home, and volume down it says "booting a custom rom can harm your device are you sure?" but whether i choose yes or no it is still stuck.
Sorry about all the text, but can somebody please explain to me in the most noob friendly way possible how i can just get my phone in working condition? Thanks for your time
Try booting into recovery this way, in this button pressing order: Vol up + home + power. When your phone vibrates and you see the blue text in the top left corner of the screen, release just the power button.
If this gets you into recovery, you can wipe data, cache and dalvik (under advanced) to see if this clears your issue.
For future reference, don't flash ROMs in rom manager. Only use that app to update or install recovery.
Thanks, that got me into recovery mode. I wiped the dalvic cache, and did a factory reset, but I am still stuck in the boot

I would suggest to download the CM10 ROM from their thread, and copy it to an external sd card. You can reflash it from the sd card in the recovery menu.
ya, now that you know how to successfully get into recovery, i would flash a rom and gapps again via that route. check out the link in my signature. its got some stuff to look over for a safe and smooth backup & installation
Thanks!

maybe you tried to make an advanced data wipe and selected internal storage, dalvic, cache, etc.
what you need to do is put the phone in recovery mode again, select install and then scroll down to find the OS zip that was broke when wiping, after flashing be sucessful reboot system. then turn off the phone again o get it in recovy once more, select install, scroll down but this time you must to install Gapps. to conclude you need to flash OS and Gapps again through recovery mode.
hope this help
Hello,
I have a SGH-T989. I recently rooted it and installed cyanogenmod, with gapps and a custom kernel (AOSP UBER KERNEL). I think the kernel is the problem but i dont know how to attack it. Anyways, my phone is stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen ( Teh one with the circle and cyanogenmod on the inside) and its not frozen, but wont go past that screen. So i tried booting into CWM Recovery, however, when i would i would get that screen as is i didnt have CWM ( the one with the warning about custom software, where u use volume up to continue and then install cwm with odin). So i just opened odin and installed cwm again, but now when i get into cwm, i see all the options,such as reboot system now, install zip from sd, wipe data, wipe ccache, backup, etc. However, i see it for about 5 seconds, then the screen goes black, then cwm comes up again and then repeat. I can go down like one option and then it goes black, then shows the same cwm screen again. Please help! Im a mad noob btw.

I'd suggest to use odin and flash TWRP 2.6.1.0 in download mode, reboot and go into TWRP and do a full advanced wipe, dont wipe preload or it will fail, if you really want to wipe preload, then go into settings and change it to use rm -rf instead of format, shouldnt really need it tho, after wiping just reflash rom/gapps, wipe cache/davilk and reboot.
Thanks for the response. Im sorry but, how do I do that? is download mode the screen you get to when you hold the power button and volume buttons, and then let go of the power button? That screen is CWM for me, and I cant do anything in that mode due to every 5 seconds it stopping and restarting (CWM itself, not the entire phone). Thanks.

Nope that's recovery, to get into download mode and flash TWRP recovery, make sure you have Odin3-v1.85 and the latest Samsung USB Drivers (Win 7/8/XP) and follow the instructions here, just ignore the part about rooting, get TWRP 2.6.1.0 flashed and then follow above posts suggestions.

You should be good, just make sure you didn't lose root access, I saw a post in the dev section with someone saying they lost root after flashing UBER kernel, but that might of just been something they did wrong on their end, not sure.
