hey my droid eris i just got it and i instantly rooted it n then after about an hour i left it on and didnt use it it just turned off and the battery was half way full
Turn it back on?
Have you gone through ALL the rooting steps? Or did you just flash PB00IMG.zip and you're using whatever that has?
This is what I'd do:
If you have Amon's Recovery image installed, go download Ivan's 0.8T2 ROM, put it on your SD card, start up your phone while holding VOLUME UP + POWER, wipe Factory data, wipe Dalvik Cache, Flash from Zip, and flash Ivan's 0.8t2.
Then see how your phone works.

can some one please help me, i root my htc eris and i install a rom but now the phone wont turn on, is stuck in the android screen.
i allready did a master reset, by holding VOL DOWN + SEND + END
I also can get in to recovery mode and i did a wipe date/factory reset, but is not working.
and when i try to do a RESTORE is telling me that there is no sd-ext.img
and no android_secure.img
can some one PLEASE help me. THANKSSSSsss........
In your recovery are you able to flash images? If so I suggest you download a ROM and try to flash it. That usually solves my problems.
Yea try reflashing a ROM, deleting everything off your sdcard, wiping factory data, davlik cache, and sd ext partition.
Wipe anything you can pretty much ha.
You should only really have to flash the ROM. I can't imagine how replacing the ROM wouldn't totally fix everything. Do a wipe first.
Also understand that it can easily take 5 to 10 minutes to boot for the first time after flashing a new rom let it sit for 20 then worry.
As long as you can hit recovery you haven't ****ed it up too bad though, that's a positive.
Nice i just run the RUU and now my phone wont turn on at all
When i try to wipe data/factory reset in cwm it freezes at
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
what should i doooooo?
pull battery, reboot recovery.. wipe completed, it just hangs at last prompt.. a fix is likely incoming.
otherwise revert to CWM
I had this problem last night. I had to remove my card and put it in my computer and wipe the contents of android_secure before it would work

had this same problem last night, I just reflashed cwm through odin and the data wipe now works
That's unfortunately "normal" for the newer CWM recoveries right now... but even though it gets stuck the wipe does still complete. Once you see that, you can just manually restart your phone (you don't need to pull the battery, by the way, just hold down pwr+volume up+volume down) and flash whatever you were going to flash.
I have just flashed my Galaxy 5 with Cyanogenmod latest and it is now stuck on a reapeating splash screen of a little blue droid guy, its not doing nothing i cant access my phone as it wont advance from this splash screen, i have removed my battery but nothing has worked.
Any quick tips/fix please?
have you wiped data, cache, and dalvik cache?
I havent a clue what you mean so i'm guessing not aha:/
whats your custom recovery?
for amonra, there should be an option called wipe and it has everything i just said.
for clockworkmod, theres wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and under advanced, theres wipe dalvik cache
I am not 100% positive but i used Clockworkmod v4 in order to get Cyanogenmod 7 onto my device if that answers your question? (im new to all this stuff).
All ive did is;
Installed clockworkmod v4
rebooted my device.
installed cyanogenmod as a zip from my sd card
rebooted my device.
Turned it back on and just this splash screen repeating
Im sorry i suck at this aha
with your phone off, hold home+vol down+power.
when it boots into clockworkmod, on the first menu, there should be an option to wipe data/factory reset and another one to wipe cache. do both.
then after you are done with that, go into the advanced menu and select wipe dalvik cache. now reboot
When i hold that combination down it brings up Download mode for some reason :S
oh yeah. my bad i was thinking about my phone.
try reinstalling the recovery (using odin) and see if it boots back into recovery (do this at your own risk; since i dont have a phone that uses odin, im not sure if this will work or not)
Could this damage/brick my phone?
Thank you so so so so much sir! Id take my hat off for you, if i wore one!
I love you.
im guessing it worked, right?
no problem
Yes ahah, longest 3 minutes in my life though! Thanks alot.
I've tried 2.4 and that didn't boot so i used sbf and then tried 2.3 but that did the same thing! whats wrong?
Why don't you try 3.0?
here are the steps I take
1. stock sbf
2. install bootstrap
3. in bootstrap, mounts, format sd-internal
4. flash zip
5. reboot
Thanks
Thanks for the quick reply will try and respond
After the sbf finishes do a factory reset w/ data wipe (it's important). After it boots go through the steps for root, unlock, cwm ( if you need any of them).
I am rooted/unlocked and this is my process when flashing.
Boot into cwm
Wipe /data, /system, /cache, and /davlik-cache
Format /data, /system, /cache, and /davlik-cache
Install zip from sd
Wipe and format as above
Factory reset
Power off. At this time I charge to 100%.
Boot into cwm
Factory reset again
Reboot
After it boots up this time I go ahead and activate, sync, etc, etc. It's a long process and some steps may be redundant to some but I have never had issues flashing this way.
I also do the extra wipes for battery stats. I have never wiped battery stats after flashing as it's done during all the wipe/formatting I do. I charge to 100% before the final boot for this reason (my madness has method). Only one time I had an issue with crappy battery life. A bat stat wipe didn't help even after a few days and I attributed it to that particular ROM.

I was on a JB ROM that was starting to get sluggish for whatever reason. I just learned of Helly Bean ROM. I find the link on rootzwiki and download it and copy it to my phone's SD card. I press/hold power choose reboot and choose recovery. I know not to 3-finger boot to recovery in this stage so I use the ROMs reboot to recovery option. I make a backup of the current ROM. I then wipe dalvik, wipe cache, and finally i wipe data (factory restore) same as I've done a million times before. I choose install Zip from SD card choose the zip, the phone begins to install the ROM cuz I can see the little blue bar start and suddenly BAM! the damn phone reboots and stays stuck on the stupid SAMSUNG logo! WTF? I donwloaded the right ROM for the Fascinate and I didn't see any errors on the screen. The phone just reboots and stays stuck!
**** it! I'm going back to my Incredible.
odin back to stock and start over...if you need instructions click on the link in my sig!
