i got my photon 4g rooted without the loss of 4g(guess rooted but locked?).
anyways the way i got to recovery was thru a wall charger, i would use the app system recovery and it would let me do the following: charge mode(where plugged into wall would charge) and recovery mode(phone would reboot and be in recovery)
well i forgot the name of the app and the source. i know i saw it here and was wondering if you could refresh my memory..
my son was playing max payne when a ota came and he hit install. then i got the failed to load 2 error.
got it boot once and was quick enought to go into recovery. had to do a factory reset cause i lost my memory card and no backup was found, but i cant remember the name of the app. was just a .apk file.
thanX in advance.

Check out the sticky thread that says !!!LOOK HERE FIRST!!! by lokifish, it has everything you need. You might want to look there first before posting in the wrong section. This should go under Q&A.
I believe I posted it also in mof's rom thread.
But this really SHOULD be in the Q&A

So I'm a noob to this whole rom thing and i think that i am in over my head...
first i rooted using GingerBreak-v1.20.apk and not knowing what i was doing deleted some of the bloat (games). When I tried to do the bell gingerbread ota update i got the error. I tried to re install them but it didn't work.
So i decided to try to rom my phone.
First i unlocked using the Bell_Ihop from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 which worked...
I then flashed a rom from ROM manager. It was ninja v0.3.4 (i think). It worked but i got a grey ? battery error... I didnt realize and my battery ran down. And while i cant be 100% sure yet i dont think my battery works any more (is that possible)
so i posted a Q on the forums and got an answer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251529
I borrowed a battery which let me turn on my phone but was still unknown...
I followed his answer and did a wipe. I decided i wanted alien so i flashed tanfer cmw recovery and flashed alien using that.
and I got stuck on the boot screen
so i did a wipe again and tried to reboot to bell stock2.2.2 and got an error so i did a reboot and i guess that the stock managed to reinstall the regular recovery..
and im still stuck on the reboot page...
so my question is I cant do anything cuz my battery doesnt work so i cant reflash cmw and I dont know anyone with an atrix to get a battery from (im pretty sure i outstayed my welcome in my local bell store, thats where i did all this)
Is there anyone in toronto that would fix this for me, i need this phone and i would pay for someone to do it for me cuz i cant do anything myself!! (And I'm a noob)
Thanks in advace...
first off, use this to charge your battery: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDtv7qKf8tQ
after you get a charge on your battery again, go into CWM and clear Data/Cache, and then go into Advanced Options and clear your Dalvik Cache.
after that, flash any ROM and try to boot up. if you get stuck into a bootloop, post back here and let us know.
you'll need to flash CWM again using Fastboot, i suggest Romracer's which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
Thanks I will try this but I have a few questions
1. I did all this (the wipes and the flash) with tenfars, will this make a diff?
2. What tegrapart am I? (remember I cant boot into my phone to check through terminal emulator)
3. Now that I have been traumatized i just wanted to ask, on the alien site he says that it will take an unbearably long time to boot, how long should I expect to wait?
thanks for putting up with my "noobyness"
I don't know how to find your tegra part but it might take up to a few minutes the first time you boot. You'll know if you get a boot loop or not, the whole animation will do a major skip and start back from the start
And I know some people have problems with tenfar's. romracer's is just superior in my opinion.

You shouldn't, as long as all you're doing is flashing ROMs with cwm. All else fails you can just flash a different one.

I tried the battery trick and it caused the usb jacks on my computer to stop working... I also tried to charge with a different phone and it didnt work. I called Motorola and am getting a new battery...
Has anyone ever had this happen that a battery should stop getting a charge at all after a flash?
Buy a cheap wall charger and battery from ebay.

Can you get into recovery mode?

Meh, wrong forum.
Oh, by the way, all you need to do is get on recovery mode (volume up & down plus lock) and clear data/factory reset.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
Worst case you might have to get into download mode and re-flash. I had a situation like yours that wouldn't let me get into recovery.
now i cant get it to charge,could a bad cable mess up the rooting process?

if your cable has an unstable connection then yes it could mess up the rooting process.

my name is travis. i like beer is good for you
Didn't we help you fix this problem before? Why are you still trying to flash the phone using Odin? When you got it fixed the first time it should of had CWM on it. After that you should of never used odin for flashing again. That is how you got the triangle again. I think the best bet for you is to find someone in your area that has experience with android phones and have them fix it for you.

Recovey Mode (volume up + volume down) then reflash the ROM.
Im sorry guys,i didn't not know this site is so stricken,there no sense getting so pissed at me.Im sorry for putting in the wrong forum.All Im asking is for help.I cant get it back to stock.Will some please help a dumb ass noob.Thats all i ask then ill delete my accountant if phone gets fixed.i just thought fellow geek are suppose to help each other
We do like helping fellow geeks. The problem is that there is nothing we can tell you to do that is not already documented in the stickies. That is why I suggested you find someone local to you that can help you. Without physically having your phone in front of us, we can only speculate on what is going on.

well whats happen its getting stuck in odin
wont go past setup.
Take it easy, OP. Learn your lesson. That's all you need.
Also, don't open more than one thread with the same content.
Have you followed step by step return to stock thread?
How far does it go?
ok i got it back to stock but now the wifi doesnt work
You really, really need to search for stuff. This is already discussed in a few threads. But to spoon feed you. Just got back into recovery and do a factory wipe. Should work fine afterwards.

No. your sdcard is fine.
What were you attempting to flash and what version of cwm recovery do you have?
P.S. In the future when you post about a failed flash please include the following information - what firmware you are currently running whether it is stock or one of the custom roms and which kernel you are running, and most importantly include what it is you are trying to flash - this will really help anyone who is going to try and help you out.

since i am new.. long time lurker... i can't post in the dev forum so sorry this is in the wrong spot... but i just have 2 questions about flashing the cm7 rom....
1. It says to install the cm7 zip and then the google app zip and then the tether patch. Do I install all 3 in a row, or should I install cm7, reboot into recovery and then install the google zip, then reboot again and install the tether zip?
2. Just needed some clarification on this statement from the cm7 thread. "There was a problem with the "hijack" name. It is conflicting with the CM7 hijack. NEVER install the original BSR while in CM7DX2! This is a guaranteed way to boot loop your phone!" Does this mean not to run a nandroid back up or recover back to the stock rom while using the cm7 rom, or do I need to uninstall the BSR fron my phone, then reinstall the app... I'm confused.
Again sorry for the wrong forum and noob post, I'm really tired of this pos x2 and want a custon rom... I just can't afford to brick mh phone.
Thanks for any help

You can flash all three right in a row then reboot
There is the bsr that you need to use to install cm7 but in that thread there is a bsr that is specific to cm7 that you have to utilize going forward from your install of cm7
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Kool. Bro I mean I doubt u could brick it. But u could end up somewhere u don't wanna b. After u install cm7 u gotta factory data reset so don't worry about the old bsr... then as soon as you get up and running install the cm7 one
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
When you are going through the process of flashing CM7, you will be using the bootstrap recovery for the DX2. After you flash and get all set up, you will have to install the bootstrap that is in that thread for future flashing. He is just simply saying the old bootstrap wont work with flashing stuff after you install CM7.
And by the way, if you were planning on starting this as a new thread in the development section, you would have been in the wrong section. lol. The Q&A section would have worked just fine as well. Just for future reference.
awesome I didn't see the bsr for future use on there... thanks for all the replies some much needed direction is appreciated
Also remember to wipe the big three after you flash all three

Know that it takes quite the **** up to brick you're phone. Doing so is kind of hard. And when you actually do brick it, will be a literal brick. If you turn it on and the m logo is the only thing you can see them you have soft bricked. That IS reparable. Do not freak out!

Hello,
I am fairly noobish when it comes to phones but I have had a rooted OG EVO and now i have had a rooted EVO LTE. When i first rooted my LTE i flashed the meanbean rom and then a few months after that i decided to try out other roms suchs as CM10, Paranoid, and maybe a few others that didn't last too long. I just tried to go back to meanbean and it loaded about 75% and was just stuck. I let it sit there for about 45 minutes and nothing ever happened. I forced a restart and restored to a previous backup. When my phone booted up I noticed that it was acting funny and I later found out that some how my internal storage device was messed up. I eventually mounted my phone to my computer in TWRP and reformated so it now works as it should. I went to try and flash meanbean and it again freezes at the same spot. When i try to flash another ROM my phone beings to flash it and then it will randomly restart back into recovery. I have no idea why it is doing this. I tried to run my phone's RUU but my computer wont find my phone connected to it. When i try to use HTC Sync it also will not find my phone.
Sorry for the wall of text but at this point I am wanting to just start over completely fresh bc i feel that all of this flashing, restoring, and reformatting has really messed up my phone. Currently my phone has issues with it's calls. I sound as though i am very far away and I have never had this problem before so i am not sure where that issue is coming from.
If anyone has any kind of advice on what I should do please please help me! I can post any kind of information or clarification that is needed.
Thanks a ton in advanced!

I am not. When i try to flash the newest version from bootloader it says, "Current version is newer" (or something similar to that) and then it will just boot loop in bootloader until i delete the zip from the sdcard.

Ok so I am franticaly running around trying to fix my phone, if there is another thread on this I do appologize. I found my teather cord and decided to root my phone today. Im pretty familiar with the rooting of HTC phones, so needless to say I did the HTCdev option for unlocking bootloader, and installed the TWRP recovery system. I just a little ancious and wanted a new, fresh and clean look for my phone. So after searching HTCevohacks.com, I found the AVATAR rom. I downloaded the approtate file and the GApps that it said to do, booted into recovery and wiped my phone like it said and flashed the new rom onto my phone. I added the second file to the flash for GApps and robooted my phone. Loads the HTC screen, then black screen.... I have tried 2 other roms, UR EVO and Jelly Bam. I want to use the jelly bam. I liked the review and the style of it. Sad part is my phone is now a brick and it cant figure out how to fix it. I believe my issue was that I didnt read the comments on the First rom saying that a guy forgot to make a backup image. Is there any thing i can do to fix why it is not loading the new roms or is it just a very expensive paper weight?
Its not bricked. You have to flash the kernel seperate cause your S-ON.
you should read "don't panic" stickied in Q&A

Ok, I skimmed through the terminology and found that it says 1.15 requires to flash the kernal seprate. I have 2.09. Will that fix mine aswell? And if so, how do I do it seprate? It says the guide tells you how to but I cant seem to find it
EDIT: I googled the process and it requires me to download an app from the market, i cant do this my phone wont start into any kind of rom/kerel
