ok so im new to rooting and looking back i shouldnt of touched it. but hey too late i already did but now im in deep crap. Apparently i didnt back anything up or save anything about back up in the right spot. my g1 has nothing in it. it wont boot. it goes right to the clockworkmod recovery screen. tried loading roms, no dice, wont work. tried several times. i did manage to install a different radio somehow. when i hold the camera button and start phone it says no image file. i tried flashing different roms all ended the same way. some verification error at the sam e line. im at the point where i just want my phone back but am willing to keep tryin. im just looking for the correct files to use. any and all help is appreciated. any other question just ask.
Put dream.nbh on your sd card in the root, hold camera and power and go from there.
That will put stock 1.6 back on your phone and fix your radio problem.

Do the rooting process again and follow all instructions.

Title says most of it. I have just rooted via Nooter 3 and installed CWM 3.0.0.5 via rom manager (possible cause?). I attempted to do a backup, which worked flawlessly, and I then did a reboot, which caused it just reboot back into recovery. Known issue, I know. After that, though, I prepared to do the update to 3.0.1.0 and...I discovered its completely frozen. Like, 100% stuck in recovery, buttons do nothing, no navigation, nada.
Is there any way to get out of this, or am I basically stuck waiting for it to run out of juice?
EDIT: never mind! Holding down both volume buttons and power fixed it.
I would post this in the correct forum, but for whatever reason this website won't let me.
Not sure if anyone can help, but I had been running the CM7 rom in my Nook Color. However I wanted to restore back to the stock 1.1.0 firmware. But nothing is working for me.
And whenever I go to apply the stock 1.1.0 firmware, it starts to, then quickly aborts.
I've also tried the 8 times reset method, which looked like it might work, but it just sits on the N logo, loading screen and never finishes.
I just fixed it now. I held down the power button and the N button for like 30 seconds and it gave me options to reset, which fixed the problem.
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have the Droid Razr Maxx and I used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to update like a good boy from GB to ICS. So my phone is just fine.
My technologically daft friend has the Droid 4 which I rooted for him when it was running GB. In my absence he decided to freeze some things without consulting me using App Quarantine. He froze settings (like the one in red) among other things. When the OTA update for ICS came, instead of calling me (at which point I would have talked him through updating with Voodoo to keep root) he went ahead and updated. The update somehow did not fail and now he has ICS running but all the frozen apps he froze with App Quarantine are still frozen. I can't unfreeze them because he lost root in the update and I can't root the phone because I can't get into settings, or get the phone out of USB mass storage when I connect to PC (the option is there in the notification bar but when you tap it nothing happens). I tried using RSD Lite 5.7 to flash the latest Fastboot file for the Droid 4, it goes through the process successfully but when the phone reboots nothing has changed.
I'm looking for advice on how to unfreeze the apps frozen with App Quarantine without root access. Or how to root the Droid 4 running OTA ICS without being able to get to the setting menu or change out of USB mass storage mode. Or worst case scenario how to get it back to stock and start from scratch.
Use rsdlite to fastboot back to stock. Do a search in this forum, there are lots of instructions

Oops, missed that part. If that's the case, then a factory reset will do the trick. You can perform a factory reset in recovery, power off the device, then press and hold both volume rockers while pressing the power button, choose recovery. When recovery loads up, press both volume rockers simultaneously, then choose erase our wipe data. Another way might be to press posting the menu button on the home screen and choose manage apps. From there go to all apps, and locate the frozen settings app. I think the frozen apps are at the bottom. Good luck!

I will see if I can create a shortcut on the homescreen first, but since settings itself is frozen I don't think it will load up no matter how I try to access it. I can't quite understand how he was able to use his phone without being able to get to settings, that is beyond me. I wish there was a method to root the phone without changing out of USB mass storage mode, that would effectively solve my (his) problem because then I could unfreeze everything. I know USB debugging is enabled. Anyway, he is coming over tonight after work and factory reset will most likely be the last (and only viable) resort.
Okay... I think I know where you're getting at... If you want to play with some other stuff, you can try doing adb shell then typing the following commands:
am start com.android.settings/.UsbSettings
this is the command to get to the settings menu, not sure of if will work if settings is disabled but it's worth a shot.
You can also try to get to the settings main menu by
am start com.android.settings
and the manage apps list is
am start com.android.settings/.Settings$ManageApplicationsActivity
all these am start commands need to be issued from an adb shell window.
Good luck!

I couldn't get into settings no matter what I tried, had to do a factory reset. After that I rooted and installed Safestrap and Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper with the Droid 4 ICS Utility. And had a lesson with my friend on what never to freeze and to never update a rooted phone without consulting me or the internet first. All is well.
Im actually in the same boat... well, almost... i rooted GB used voodoo, temp unrooted so i can update to official 6.16.217... finally updated after 6 epic fails. i was stuck in a half root/ unroot phase where the su app was there and so was voodoo but root rights were gone and so was my root back up... i have tried using the droid 4 utility but all i get is errors. no matter what option i use, it doesnt do anything... usb debugging is on, set to camera, only one instance of adb is running, nothing works... i even tried z4root while in half root to see if maybe it would help... (which it didnt, figuered i would try) did a wipe and factory reset, nothing is still working. any ideas? does the utility only work on the ics leak and not the official ota?
