Root did i brick my phone?

[tobanrob]

when i restarted it was stuck on transform ultra screen.

then i tried to go into cmw. it looks like it's going to start but only shows a couple lines about the usual E: errors.

i used odin to re-install cwm but no change.

then i tried flashing some other odin files so now after transform ultra screen it gets stuck on a screen that just says android.

That's definitely unfortunate. I don't have this device so I can't be too much help.

However, you could try poking around this thread to see if it can help you

What did you do before you restarted it to cause this?

 

[tobanrob]

OMG! thank you very much!!!! thanks to you and badsector for this!

cant believe it lol!

 

[niteNarmor]

Did you un-soft brick?

 

[tobanrob]

yes thank you.

just cant get cwm to work. still just lists the E: errors at the bottom of the screen.

but the phone works and i have root. thats more than i had l last night.

thanks again

 

[niteNarmor]

The e: errors are normal for the transform ultra. As long as you have 10 options when in recovery then you have cwm and rooted.

sorry i didnt explain that right. it just shows the E: errors at the bottom and nothing else at all. no cwm options what-so-ever.

 

[niteNarmor]

OK. That's a little weird. Try to get into recovery whether or not it might be stock or cwm, factory wipe everything and start over.
On the plus side, your device is running.

 

[tobanrob]

yeah i really didnt expect to have a working phone.

i also tried to rom toolbox pro rebooter to get to cwm and got same result.

if someone knows a way to remove cmw so i can reinstall it, maybe that would work?

niteNarmor i cant thank you enough for your help.

That's why we are all here to help each other. Glad to see you have a working device.

What recovery do you have? You have to have some type of recovery.
If you are currently on a custom rom , you can get into recovery by long pressing the power button to bring up options.

It also stands to reason if you are rooted, then you have CWM. Just have to find a way to it.

You having a working device, is thanks enough! :thumbup:

If you have root you can push CWM via Terminal Emulator.

Take a look @ the 2nd post of this thread for the instructions.

Good luck!

well it went bad to good to worse.

phone was up and running 2.3.4 but after i downloaded ota update it now boot loops.

tried the first link niteNarmor posted(the one that worked before) but still stuck.

tried re-installing evrything with odin. no change.

didn't get a chance to try the link oamilcar posted.

back to square one.

might be time for a new phone.

Never install an OTA update on a rooted phone. It require stock recovery. I hope you get it sorted out.
