Root i'm an idot, need help fixing after trying new kernal

andrewtac · Nov 4, 2011

I got my HTC TB rooted using revolutionary , then downloaded some apps, decided to try to get a new kernal using kernal manager. Selected the one with the most downloads, told the program to download and flash. Everything looked good, and then it got stuck on the white HTC splash screen on re-boot. I waited about 10 minutes then pulled the battery, went to recovery and tried to install the latest ziggey kernal and I am still stuck at the white HTC screen. What are my options? I did not make a back up (I am an idiot). I was looking to overclock, and be able to run wifi tether.

well I tried to flash BAMF and the same results occured

Wipe cache and dalvik to see if it will boot after that, if it doesn't then wipe /system and reflash the rom. Don't use kernel manager after you get booted up. Use the web to find the kernel you want and download it from the dev and flash it in recovery

Welcome to AF, you aren't an idiot by the way just made a mistake, it is part of learning

thank you. I tried all of that with no luck will try again. I let the phone try to boot for over 30 min now. I will try again with a different ROM. I called my self an idiot for not making a backup, even though there were tons of warnings.

If all of that has failed then wipe cache, dalvik cache, /system, and /data and reflash the rom it should bring the rom back up as it was the first boot after the previous flash.

Don't worry, I'm the idiot, just ask any girl I've dated.
