[Q] Help!!! I think i bricked my phone - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so i finally got my incredible rooted, and i installed cyanogen mod...but it wont finish booting, it keeps getting stuck at the Nexus boot animation and wont go beyond that

Did you use a hydra kernel?
Trust me, your not bricked. This happens to me several times a day.

Whoa...easy...let it boot. Sometimes the first boot when loading a fresh rom can take a long time.

I think he is describing a boot loop....and cm6 does take long to boot

Not that long.
Question, did you install the new hydra kernels?
Also, is it just hanging at the nexus logo or is it starting, stopping, and restarting;

Did you do a full wipe?

Go back into recovery...wipe cache and data and then load the cyanogen zip again.

My buddies tried rooting their evos last night they got the superuser icon, but when they go into TB it says they need root access, any ideas if they should re-root using unrEVOked again? Thanks in advance!

Sounds like all you need to do is install BusyBox from within TB. Just click on the Problems? button at the bottom. Then Get BusyBox. Should fix you right up.

That's how you flash any gingerbread rom for the first time, so yes.

What do you mean stock, like stock rooted?
Do a battery pull again, when you start up, hold vol+down to get into the bootloader, then try selecting recovery.

Are you able to get to the bootloader at all, to at least run an RUU?
If you are using rom manager use alternate recovery

RUU is a stock image, it will unroot him, then he can re-root.
http://www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Download the RUU, from bootloader, select fastboot, connect the phone to the pc, once the phone shows fastboot usb, then thr ruu exe on the computer. After that, re-root using unrevoked.
i'm still waiting to RUU to download, but I got my other buddies to work since he waited for me lol but for some reason gmail contacts won't back-up but all other gmail things sync. Do you think it's network (google) thing or cyanogen?

That sounds like a network issue, because there'd be no reason for the other google things to sync, but not contacts. Did you try to reboot?

Well on CM7, you can in stall 1 custom icon from lock screen settings, or take a look at widget locker.

When on a phone call phone wont hang up!!!!

Driving me crazy. Phone wont hang up!!! It reads 0.00 with green phone symbol. It stays like that for over a min then hangs up. Any ideas? I running cm7 nightys.?

1st step, did you do anything before this happened? 2nd step, reflash the rom, remembering to wipe everything first.

definitely a weird 'one-off' issue with your cell. But as everyone has already said, wipe and wipe everything. Use VRwipe or something similar and I HIGHLY recommend Amon RA Recovery as apposed to Clockwork recovery (in my opinion) as I have had zero issues after using RA.
Hope that helps

Need helpe please. Looks like i coould still receive messages, but not TWlauncher. UI error!!! HELP!!!!!!!
Odin back to stock....then retry

Calm down, you can always download a flashable ROM, place it on your sdcard and flash it through CWM. Everything will be normal.
I'm assuming you can boot into CWM.
You can either try restoring all the stuff you deleted with Titanium or wipe the phone and start over.

@Danial723 How do you do that? Sorry im a noob on this stuff. Do you guys think doing a Reboot Recovery will help? Will the phone be still rooted?

Im just trying to find out if theres another way around to it. I cant restart or powering off with out doing it manauly by holding the power button for a long time.

T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 / CM9 Stuck at boot screen

So this is my first time posting so im a pretty big noob at this, but here it goes. I have a T-mobile Galaxy s2 that i rooted a few months ago. Today CM9 released the stable version, which is what Ive been waiting for so i decided to try it out. (again, Ive never flashed a rom before I only used the stock one) I followed all the steps to do it and now its been at the boot screen for over an hour. The instructions said be patient, but I feel that over an hour is too long. I decided to pull the battery, hoping I could go into recovery mode and do a factory reset. When I try to go into recovery mode it vibrates a couple times but doesn't go into recovery mode. I can't go into download mode either. Does anyone have any idea for what I can do to at least do a factory reset? Thank you in advance for the help.
Edit* After going into recovery, I tried a factory reset but its still trying to boot into CM9. Why is it doing that?
When factory reset it doesn't go back to stock rom .
How are you flashing the rom?

Actually, for some reason recovery was being really strange. I had to hold down the power and the volume buttons 3 times for it to go to recovery, then I restored an older backup that was on my memory card and it took a while then finally worked
Do you by chance know why it didn't work?
I've been getting this same problem. I can get back to recovery and recover from my backup just fine, but every time I try to get CM9 working, it won't go past the boot screen, even after about an hour of waiting.
I've tried the CM9 hercules stable release off the CyanogenMod website and the CM9 RC2 download through ROM Manager, I've tried installing through ROM Manager and straight from booting into recovery, and I've tried putting the zip on both external and internal storage just in case that might conceivably affect something. I have the same problem every time. I'm using CWM 5.0.2.7 and currently on rooted stock.
Any ideas on how I might get this rom working?
You need Darkside super and cache wipes, which are both available in a sticky with an obvious title in the development section of the forum.

What he said. Non touch clockwork mod for this phone has a broken cache wipe function. Will cause infinite boot. Flash tdjs cache wipe NOT THE SUPER WIPE. and you should be golden.

[Q] blank white screen after bootaninmation on UNOFFICIAL]ParanoidAn

hello everyone bit of a newbie and need some assistance i've been flashing for a couple months now and want to give ParanoidAndroid a shot but every time i flash and reboot the boot animation comes up and then goes to a white screen and stays there. I do follow all the directions and have tried previous releases but always the same, I do use darkside superwipe and cache to clean before flashing and other roms I have no problem with.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated

The white screen is normal, try to wipe dalvick cache, fix permissions, if you are in cwm 6.X.X.X. If you are in cwm 5.X.X.X. try the dark side wipe.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I get the white screen too, but my phone still boots up. Make sure your fully wiping before you install. You'll always get the white screen until they realize to fix it but for now dw about it. Make sure you are waiting.. the first boot takes s while and we tend to get so excited that it feels so long. Time it and if it doesn't boot up after 5 minutes then you probably have a bad download or something

Thanks for the help I actually got it to finally boot up after doing a seperate dalvick wipe and fix permissions it booted and was looking badass then I went back to install my apps from my zip backup and it wouldn't go past the white screen again n I waited 20 minutes so I tried another fresh install and nothing I'm gonna keep trying though.

For backing up apps I use rom toolbox and only restore apps not the data. If you get white screen, wipe cache dalvik and fix permissions again.
