What to do when Android is stuck on Metro PCS screen?

WubWub · April 13th, 2012, 07:22 PM

So last time I tried to install a rom on my Samsung Admire everything went well until I had to reboot. When it was turning back on it was stuck on the Metro PCS screen for about an hour. Finally I decided to reboot into recovery mode and try to wipe data and format system and data. When it rebooted again it was still stuck so I sent I gave it to the guy at the Metro PCS store and he got me a new one after 3 days.

My question is how would one restore the phone if it is stuck at the Metro PCS screen? Thank You.

Edit: I used Rom Tool to flash the rom.

I used Admiral Beast. I'm not using this Rom Manager. I'm using this one. (Rom Toolbox)

Ah. Sorry my mistake. Would it be safe to use to use Rom Toolbox. Or would it have the same effect as Rom Manager?

I'd say No, As I saw that page, and it has Rom Manager in it, And to me, Anything to do with Rom Manager, Should NOT be used. As Rom Manager will Brick your phone..
