So, a word to the wise - make Nandroid backups when testing new things, eh?

Well, its like the fifth theme I have uploaded on metamorph, so its not really new to me. My last backup was like 12 hours ago, but I have done a lot to my phone since

my bad

I know what you mean - I have not made a backup since I installed BB, but I was all about to go and install an evilBoot.img to give me the old 1100 MHz....

Live and learn, I suppose. I know I will continue to take the time to backup from now on....if MetaMorph can do this by just loading a theme, then just about any change we make can....

 

[brettlewis]

yeah, seriously. If i thought that was a possibility, I would of spent the 3 minutes to backup. just didnt expect such a simple task to go so wrong.

what if you cant get out of your boot loop? cant even get into recovery.... weather it be clockwork or sp..

battery pull after pull, holding x and power gets me into to the same boot loop..

ehhhh

At that point I was able to reboot again and it loaded my previous installed ROM.
