[Q] Help!!! I think i bricked my phone

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.

it worked, thank you guys...but how do i get it back to Sense?...i did a backup of the sense ROM...so do i just have to select that in rom manager?

In the main menu of ROM Manager > Backups and Restore > Choose your backup.

[Q] Why can't I get the market to work?

I'm having a problem and hopefully it's something simple I overlooked. I installed Cyanogen's V6.0.0. RC1 and the market won't find anything I search for. I tried a different ROM and the same problem. Now I have no ROM Manager and I can't get into recovery. Recovery goes away every time I wipe to install a new ROM. Is there something I can do to fix it?

If u just noticed it then its not ur Rom, market has been down on different devices to night since about 12

After I install a new ROM and try to boot into recovery mode when the phone is turned off it doesn't load Clockwork Recovery it loads the stock recovery and I don't have any options until I use ROM Manager and install the recovery image from there.
Hope that's enough info.

You need to go in to the menu of the stock recovery (up volume + power), and select apply update.zip to go in to clockwork.

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Hold the top power button and most roms will have a Reboot option, click and go down to recovery, if it doesnt have it, then turn off phone, hold volume down button and power at same time, when bootloader pops up scroll down to recovery and hit power and your in recovery.
make sure you wipe cache and dalvik cache.

So, when you're in bootloader, and select recovery, what does it do ? What recovery were you using, amon or clockwork? You said 4g isn't working? What's it do ? Did you backup your rsakeys, or use amon ra to make nand backup? Let me know.

go to Amon-Ra thread in development. Download his image file, put on the root of your SD card, boot into bootloader, when it asks if you want to flash, accept(vol up I think) then let it flash and try and boot into recovery again.

If you are using ROM manager, you can try to flash a different version of Clockwork. That worked for me.

Or, IMO, use ROM manager to flash to Amon RA.

Amon-Ra is a much better recovery than Clockwork. Seems to be less borked and less issues than clockwork.

Unless you backed up before flashing, you probably lost rsa keys. Have fun trying to get em back. Now find a way to get a recovery. Go to amon's thread and there's instructions on how to flash it using terminal emulator
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.

Mine did the same thing, not being able to boot to recovery... somehow I guess the recovery image got corrupted... I just used ROM manager to flash Amon Ra (by clicking "flash alternate recovery") and it booted right into recovery....
As for the no-4g.... not good

Ok I do some reading and I got ny 4g working and I know way more then I did before this ...thanks guys for the help ....

[Q] Can't upgrade clockwork mod from 2.5

Okay, so I was trying to upgrade to the latest nightly for my mother, since she loves gingerbread now. So here is my issue, I know that I need clockwork mod 3.0 or higher to get the nightlies to work, I have gotten #14 to install with the old recovery she has on there now. But when I try to update the recovery it will either not upgrade or revert back to 2.5 upon reboot. For example:
If I try using fastboot to install, I get an error. I don't remember exact error, but its a long the lines of it can't install.
If I try using the PB31IMG.zip method, but it just detects the zip and wont install or anything.
If I install the recovery via the recovery, it will work for the one time it loads, then upon reboot it reverts to old one.
I tried installing the newest nightly with the old recovery, but it will just load and then soft boot and repeat forever till I pull battery.
I rooted the phone with the unrevokr root and recovery method, so I don't know if that has anything to do with my problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Yea...I forgot to mention, that doesn't work either. It will download, then flash it, but upon boot to recovery, its the old recovery.

Hmmm thats starange...... when you flashed it in hboot did you have your SD formatted fat32? If not bootloader won't read it.

Yea, its def fat32, it reads the file, but does not do anything. I get the little bar on the side that moves like its installing it. I am thinking I am going to have to try and restore phone to stock. =/

Indeed it did, I would then open winrar, and just drop the new .img file in and overwrite the old one. Maybe I should make a new zip file and add the other config file or whatever it is to the new zip. Otherwise, I am SOL lol.

That's where you are messing up..... give me a min and ill get you the right file

Before you flash a new recovery with ROM Manager go into ROM manager settings and check the box to erase the old recovery before flashing the new one.
Then scroll to the bottom of the main ROM Manager menu and select all clockworkmod recoveries. Flash 3.0.0.8 since it has fixes for 3.0.0.5 issues.

No dice, goes to [checking PB31IMG.zip] then just goes back to main bootloader menu.

Still not working, just does checking the zip and then goes back to hboot. I am going to try formating the internal memory, and put a copy on there and see if that does anything. Would having S-ON have anything to do with my problem?

Well I fixed it, was that I had S-On still enabled. I guess I'm so used to my nexus that I forgot that I needed that off to do that.

What radio are you using? The wrong radio on certain roms. Can cause that to happen. So can the wrong kernel.

Agreed, when I first rooted I had to do the data wipe factory reset.
Everything went well after that.
