Hello all. I am new to these forums, and to rooting. Right now I am at a loss for what to do about my phone. I was running 2.1 when I did the one click root for the Droid Eris. When asked to load the rom from a zip file, I loaded Kaosfroyo v32. After rebooting, the phone was on a bootloop at the ANDROID loading screen. Not knowing what to do, a guy I work with Hard Reset the phone. After that I was able to get into Froyo, but now every single time I reboot the phone it asks me to activate my phone. No matter how many times you activate it, the phone has no service through Verizon. At this point I just need to get my phone at a point where it is usable again. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thank you for your time.

That just did the exact same thing as before. It says it is activated and wait ~15 minutes for wireless signal, however there is no connection.
Goto wireless settings and change to automatic or whatever is the third/last choice. That should work.

I appreciate the humor, but in all seriousness I need some help with this...
to get phone back to original.
radio here: http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-de....php?p=7232088
then flash PB00IMG-21-official.zip from here: http://android.grdlock.net/index.php...PB00IMG Roms
should reset and unroot your phone
EDIT: you should just need to flash the PB00IMG unless you have flashed a new radio
Try booting into recovery and doing a full wipe and then re-flashing the rom.
I did the same thing my first time in recovery wipe your phone in amon not the first green recovery screen then flash any 2.1 rom I used evil eris 4.0 evil eris will allow you to activate your phone then reboot wipe again in amon and flash Kaos froyo as long as u wipe with amon and not the first screen u wont have to re activate your phone hope this helps

Amon is Amon Ra Recovery. The black screen with the green colored text. You boot to Amon Ra Recovery by turning your phone off then pressing and holding down Volume down + Power. Hold it until you see the black screen with green texts.

Yea that's the one. Wiping there wont require your phone to be re activated. Once you get it working you can do a backup from that screen as well so next time you'll be able to restore if you have any problems.

Just to make sure I'm doing this correctly: This page says:
Select Wipe-->Wipe Dalvik , then do Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
Correct?
Yup then flash over the 2.1 rom and when it loads up and you go to program the phone it will allow to bring up they keypad so you can press the one key when it makes the call from *228 then once your phone is programed, reboot to amon do a nand backup, and wipe data and davlick. After that flash kaosfroyo.

Since there have been enormous amounts of questions of how to this, how do I do that. I am laying out the steps, in order, the way I did it. It works perfectly, and was very short. You can do this from ANY version of your phone, even an Alpha/Vanilla version of Froyo, this includes 2.1 Eclair.
THIS VERSION IS NONVOODOO, disable if you are using it.
THIS VERSION IS 100% ODIN FREE.

PUT BOTH OF THESE FILES ON YOUR SD CARD. In any folder you like, or just the SD card main folder, as long as you know where it is.
Steps
1) Flash OLD ClockWork Mod Recovery to your phone. Do this by going to the Market and downloading ROM Manager. Once installed, click "Flash ClockWork Recovery" and choose the Fascinate.
1A) This is an ALTERNATIVE to step 1, a VERY good one. If you aren't able to get into Clockwork Recovery then do this. "Rooting Regardless of OS". Do that first and then come back here and proceed with Step 2. ---------------- Thanks ditobot
2) Once finished, choose Reboot Into Recovery. If it doesn't boot into recovery, then "Apply sdcard:update.zip".
3) Next, go back to the main menu and choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", do this twice for good measure. Then choose "Wipe Cache Partition", do it twice for good measure, it doesn't hurt anything.
4) Once in Recovery, choose "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from sdcard" > Then locate your "DL30.zip" file that you downloaded earlier. Choose it and then hit YES. Once complete, takes less than a couple minutes usually.
5) FINALLY, choose "Install zip from sdcard" > "Choose zip from sdcard" > Then locate your "new_cwm.zip" file you downloaded earlier. Choose it and hit YES. YOU ARE DONE!!!!
Reboot the phone and enjoy your rooted, bloated, official copy of Verizon Froyo.
For the record, this update ONLY works with DJ05 and DL09 radio. Meaning you must download and flash it to your phone if you do not have it or you won't get texts and probably won't be able to make calls.
Don't hesitate to ask questions.
Many questions are being asked and I will do my best to answer them, but you may find some of your answers in the Leaked thread started by punk.kaos himself. You can find this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937237

Did you wipe EVERYTHING? That usually is what causes what you're saying, by not wiping everything.
Syn, what's the difference between the *old* Green CWM and the *new* Green CWM? If you've got the old green cwm, can't you just reboot into recovery, wipe wipe wipe, and then flash the DL30 leak?
I previously had blackhole 3.0 DI09 on it. I jumped when i saw froyo was released so I restored it to a previous ROM (touchwiz rooted and cwm) i put it on my sd card (DI30) went into cwm recovery and did then searched for the the DI30 then applied it. it rebooted then it seemed to be working fine the google account and all the setup menus appeared but when i did it all then closed the menus, Force close tw.launcher came up?

Yes you boot into old CWM then you install NEW CWM from there then wipe and install.
New CWM works with the new kernel .32 as the old one didn't. Blame Verizon. Thank punkkaos and jt.

It's ok because punkkaos told everyone that he would release the leaked copy once he knew that it was OK to distribute, so that noone would lose their job. So this is the real deal.
i think i really messed up
to my last 3 posts, i decided to try to fix it myself. i flashed cwm recovery again, and now my phone will load the samsung logo then it will go to the little menu automatically that says
-reboot system now
-apply sdcard:update:zip

Yeah it asks to do a Firmware update. Do it. I did and then it reboots and won't ever ask again. Just a small thing I guess.
Wiping is just a safety thing to do so your chances of stuff getting messed up is really low. It may not be necessary in this package, as you have done it without problems. Good job on finding that out.

Hey guys, been awhile since I've been on XDA.
Rode the iOS bus for awhile.
Long story short I went and bought a i-777 earlier today and I did a factory reset via the settings menu then proceeded to do a hard reset to clean the phone out.
I pressed and held the volume down button and pressed and released the power button. A warning about a custom OS popped up and I proceeded and it took me into a screen that said "Odin" at the very top.

Now, I bought this phone through a second hand electronics store and I'm wondering if this phone has been improperly rooted and I just picked up someone else's headache.

You about phone screen looks like the phone has stock Gingerbread installed. UCKK6 was the update version. The phone originally shipped with UCKH7. Yours may have been updated over the air, or later models were shipped with UCKK6.
I've never heard of the button configuration that you describe for this phone. I tried doing the same thing, holding down vol- and short press the power button, but the phone just booted normally. But then I am running a custom ICS rom.
Boot the phone into download mode: with the phone off, hold both volume buttons, but not power, and plug in the usb cable. When you get the warning screen, use the volume up button to go to the download screen. Look at the flash counter information at the top of the screen. That will tell you if the phone has been modified. (Unless they followed my guide on flashing custom firmware without incrementing the flash counter, lol.)
Even if the phone has been modified, that doesn't necessarily mean it has been damaged.

Your phone appears to be stock and to have never been modified. What you are seeing is exactly what would be expected of a phone right out of the box.

Once back on 2.3.4 im going to try and re-root and see how it goes from there, hopefully I can resolve this with out going through extreme mesaures. See kids, this is perfect example of "I didnt take my time to read and reseach before I started pushing buttons." LOL

Yes, zedomax kernel screws over a lot of people. Wish there were some way to warn unsuspecting folks. Actually, the zedomax unroot causes more problems than the rooting kernel.
Glad you've got everything going. Now, just read a few minutes every day, and before long, you'll be up to speed.

Any kernel compatible with cm9. You can simply extract the .zip from the rom and flash the boot.img via fastboot (available in Hasoon's tool).
If you still have issues we will need more info about your sytem: s-on? Already on ICS? Which carrier? SuperCID? and anything else you think about.

Maybe you guys can help me out a little bit. Can't get passed HTC screen.
I'm no expert at flashing, but on simple things I know what I am doing. Everything was fine and I wanted to flash Sport stars CM10 ROM. I did a backup on 4ext like I always do and then wipe flash reboot.
The issue here now is that once i flashed cm10 my phone got stuck on the HTC screen. Did my research found out sports ROM that he uploaded wasn't booting up. I instantly went back to 4ext. Wiped data and cache and restored my fourth bar nexus ROM.
Apparently it said the backup was successful yet when ever I boot it stays stuck at the HTC screen. This happened last night and I just can't seem to figure out shaft to do. I wiped, restored still nothing. Wiped download a different ROM. Still nothing.
S-on, T-Mobile
Edit: Also should be noted on last screenshot I never saw this splash screen before in 4ext. Happens the second I boot up in recovery. And in the small rectangle says something about 4ext not being configured due to an app or something.
I think I should be okay if I just flash clockwork and restore, but I'm not entirely sure.

Flash the kernel for fourth bar manually.
Or reflash fourth bar, then do an advanced restore and restore your data only.

If all else fails, reload a stock ruu via hboot, that'll wipe everything and restore your device to stock, once it boot's, throw on a custom recovery and go through the usuals to get your custom rom.

Flash the kernel in the zip file, which is the rom itself.
If that doesn't help, restore to stock via a ruu then attempt again, remembering to flash the kernel manually, in most cases 4EXT will flash the kernel when you reboot from recovery, it will tell you it has a task to complete, the phone should auto reboot on it's not, no this is not a bootloop, just let it be and it should be fine.

I don't know what happened, but my phone is now working. All I did was wipe, restore (didn't flash a kernel or anything fancy just restored) and the phone booted, shutdown and then rebooted and finally started working. Thank you for helping me.

Just for future reference, anytime anyone has a bootloop issue that they can't fix in 20 minutes or less.. they should just flash the stock RUU. You can flash the RUU, flash a recovery, and restore a rom in a little over 30 minutes, and then you know that ANY quirk you may have had will have been written over.
Since you had an issue like yours, where you did nothing and it started booting, I am thinking you may have something wrong with your partition scheme.. if you have future issues reflash the RUU as it redoes the actual partitions and everything on them.
Hello all.
I'm coming from a droid charge. I had it rooted mostly for the adfree and titanium backup. I have rooted various friends phones and I am familiar with the process of sorts. My issue is similar to what has been posted previously but with a twist.
I used CASUAL to root/unlock. That went without a hitch but I think I went too far. Once I was at the TWRP screen and was looking at the buttons for wiping I went ahead and wiped everything, one at a time. Now I am stuck at the note II screen. I can get into download mode. The Note II screen just sits there staring at me. I'm not in a loop at all.
Did I completely wipe everything off my phone? LOL. I'm downloading multiple restore/roms as I type this.
I don't think I would call this a bricked phone other than saying I squishy bricked it, kinda like a nerf brick. that I put in the freezer. it still hurts but it'll be ok I'm sure.
Anyway. Before I go further I would like some advice as how to proceed.
I'm not looping at the Note II screen, it just stays there. Thus why I think I wiped everything off of it.
Thanks in advance, and yes you can call me a blockhead if you feel the desire.

When you wiped, it wiped system and this is why it doesn't boot. Always make a backup first.
You have 2 options:
1. Download and factory restore with ODIN. Look at the stickies. There are restores that do not relock the bootloader and do not wipe data.
2. Download a custom ROM and use ADB to push it to the SD card in TWRP. This requires a little more know how but can get you up and running a little quicker.
Good luck!
Thanks

You can also put a ROM on the external SD card and boot into TWRP and flash it.

Only problem here is my inability to boot into TWRP. I can get into ODIN download mode and that is it. I keep reading the warnings of using ODIN after using CASUAL. Now I'm a little worried.

just making sure, are you using the VOL UP, power, and home button combo?

Nope I'm using the VOL DOWN, power and home.
I just did your suggestion and get the System software not authorized blah blah, go to the nearest VW store.
Rut row. Now what. Guess I should do more reading.
Used imnuts Alt restore file. It got me back into my phone, bless you imnuts.
My phone is back to 4.1.1. Now to get back to 4.1.2
How does one get back to stock 4.1.2? I tried imnuts stock image but it seems to just keep me at 4.1.1
If I have to flash the modem and GPS to be the same than so be it.
OK, I took the OTA. I'm back to 4.1.2. Sorry to be all panicking about my phone. I was worried I was going to brick this in a bad way.
Because of all this I am so very thankful to all involved. This took me some searching and a lot of reading.
Now I will retry CASUAL and not mess it up lick I did the first time.
glad you got it back, remember VOL UP = Recovery VOL DOWN = Download mode.
Yup yup.
Thanks Eris.
BTW, turn off your antivirus program when running CASUAL.
I'm good and very happy I finally got the dang thing rooted with SU installed. Now I can finally back up the whole thing and start freezing the bloat.
It's a good day
I tip my hat to all of you devs. Good job guys. :good:

You can't get back to 4.1.2 using Odin, you have to unlock and flash back to a 4.1.2 ROM or take the OTA.

Damn I was late, I didn't even notice the second page. Woops.

I am not really sure how to explain what is going on so I made a video to kind of show.
Sorry it is shaky I was holding my camera and trying to use the phone at the same time.
So I did the HTC Unlock Bootloader thing about 2 months ago and I have been stuck with a phone that will not update or anything anymore.
I got fed up with trying to get it to work so I have just been using the phone as is, but it is getting slow and buggy on me so I would like to finish the rooting or get it back to stock or something.
When I boot into recovery as you will see nothing works.
HTC has an update right now on my phone and if I download and go to install the update it reboots into recovery and there is an error saying it could not mount the internal storage or something so update was aborted.
I was hoping someone could watch this video and then point me in the right direction of what to do next.
I tried to get a good shot of the recovery screen so you could see S-ON and the versions n junk.

Thank you guys!
The first problem is CWM does not play nice with the Evo 4G LTE you need to use TWRP.
If you want to take the OTA Update you will need to re-lock your bootloader and install a stock recovery.

^This. You've most likely borked your misc partition with CWM, so you'll need to fix that at some point. As for the rest, you can either do as Bigdaddy says, or install TWRP recovery and flash a ROM.

I downloaded GooManager and attempted to install TWRP. It said it installed but when I rebooted in to recovery it was still using CWM.
Any thoughts on how to force this install? Also when I tried to reboot into recovery using the GooManager app it would not reboot.
I will keep fussing with it and see if I can get TWRP to install.
Oh Bam! I got TWRP working.
Beautiful. I just need to find a ROM to use now..

Keep in mind if you're S-on you'll need to install the kernel separately from the ROM. For more info hit the top link in my sig.

Thank you! I will attempt to use Moonshine to get S-OFF
I was going to download this ROM would I then just download the S-OFF Version?
I was going to do the S-ON before.
If you're S-on use the S-on version.

Ran into an issue.. I was attempting to install CM 11
It has failed on me. Any idea's why?
EDIT: weird note too.. I just went to boot back into the System and TWRP told me I lost Root Permissions.. and it attempted to fix it.. Dunno if it did yet or not.
BAH... Wont reboot back into the System.. Cycles twice and then goes back into TWRP Recovery.
EDIT EDIT: Ok.. So I got some of it fixed.. I ended up getting this Sense 5 ROM installed.. now I am installing this CM 10.2 ROM which seems to be working..
I just can't figure out why CM 11 wont install.

You probably have the wrong twrp for cm11. You need to use the recovery that is in the first post of the cm11 thread. To install it you'll need to do fastboot flash recovery.
You can get it from the first post here

Yeah I noticed I do have the wrong recovery for it.
I will attempt to install the one for CM 11..
Any idea why this Sense 5 ROM I am using will make phone calls but will not send any SMS's to anyone? Just keeps saying failed...
I kinda dig this Sense 5 ROM.. I have not been able to figure it out.
EDIT:
Got the new TWRP.img file installed.. I had a hard time doing it in Terminal Emulator so I just downloaded a freaking app that installed custom recoveries.
So it successfully installed CM11.. Now I am sitting here waiting for it to boot up.
I have the logo spinning around and around.. I hate these boot animations cuz I can never tell if it is stuck in a boot loop or if it is just working hard.
So I will give it 15/20mins.. Then I am not sure wtf to do other than go back to Sense 5.. Which I installed for a second time and I still could not get SMS to send or receive.
Glad you got it to boot.
If it's spinning it will probably boot up.
Since you did moonshine you should have been able to install the recovery with fast boot.
It's a good practice to have.

Yeah CM 11 finally booted up.
I can make phone calls but I cannot send or receive SMS. Same issue I was having with the Sense 5 ROM.
I have been through all the settings I can find and nothing has worked yet.. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Yes I did.
When I loaded into the Sense 5 ROM it did not have any of my Profile Information so I could not use the phone with out doing the activation thing.

Hmm. I don't know then. I never tried any of the sense 5 ROMs.
Personally at this point I would flash stock rooted, then self activate, update prl and profile, then call sprint and ask them to refresh my connection with them.
Then verify everything works, create a backup of that, and then go back to cm11.
