I have an old Bionic that I play around with and decided to try using a CM build. Everything looks good, and when I rebooted after install (using SafeStrap/TWRP) it shows a Motorola logo and the screen goes blank. So the screen is on, but nothing is happening. Due to the steps taken, I believe the SS Recovery was erased. I go through the normal recovery steps, but it eventually boots to the blank screen and not into SS Recovery. I did do a backup beforehand, but can't get to SS Recovery. Any ideas? Thanks
Ok, I used RSDLite to reflash it. Whew!

Question.
I was on 4.0.4 and the phone started freezing on me. Just freezes and becomes completely unresponsive. To reset I have to pull the battery. Now this had happened about once a day for the last week, but today I had to pull about 12 times. Now 4.0.4 was working well until I tried to go to 4.1.99. That was too laggy and buggy so I restored my nandroid backup. So for the past week I was living with the occasional battery pull.
Tonight, I tried to go to 4.1.9999, and now it freezes on me during the initial sign in process, "SIGNED IN! SLIDE KEYBOARD BACK TO CONTINUE". It does not get past this screen.
I'll do a Nandroid restore to get operational, but that level of operability was pretty weak.
I have AmonRa's recovery, but I only did one wipe prior to the two flashes.
ADDITIONALLY, I try to get to the recovery boot screen now after I pull the battery and the phone wont let me. Still goes right onto the Welcome to TMO G1 Android screen, where it proceeds to lock where I mentioned previously.
Any ideas?
****. I get an ERROR PERFORMING RESTORE! TRY RUNNING 'NANDROID-MOBILE.SH RESTORE' FROM CONSOLE!
The **** has hit the fan!
As of this moment, I can't do a Nandroid restore, and I can't get past the above mentioned slide keyboard back to continue screen. How bad is it?
No. You're not bricked.
When you say you came from 4.04, did you put the htc image and the cyanogen rom on? or did you just try to upgrade?
HTC image first, then the ROM. I wiped first, but only one wipe.
As of right now, I have a phone that won't load beyond that screen. Nandroid wont let me restore.
Help, please?
wipe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did. No help.
Wipe, reboot and this is what happens:
HOLY CRAP IT WORKED!!!
thanks guys... lets see its functional at least now.
It says its running 4.1.9999... what do I have to do now?
Your done as long as it's working good.
It's not. I have the same problems. Phone freezes at completely random moments. Same ****.
Phone worked well for a short time, then performance degraded again. Now its back to the same. Freezes almost instantaneously after a reboot.
go to recovery
(go to console)
fix_permissions
when done
type
reboot
wait for pause..
and it will reboot!
that booted me into a blank black screen after the ANDROID boot screen. Frozen again.
So I'm trying to get my VZN Galaxy Tab back on its feet. After trying to get Gingerbread in it so I can use Netflix - and failing - I'm going through a lot of motions.
Okay. First I rooted it with Super One Click. I should have been happy with that, but noooo. Then I tried flashing GB on it (I wish I can remember which ROM I started with...it's a mess. I think the pit file was gt-p1000_mr? Does that sound right?).
When that didn't work, I went to the much-cross-posted procedure for returning it to stock using Heimdall and SCH-i800_VZW_stock. Tried it five times. Each time, it booted into the Galaxy Tab/Samsung logos, then a fast glimpse of scrambled letters for a second followed by twinkly music, then black nothingness. It would then bootloop. I attempted to boot into recovery to wipe data/cache, but I couldn't get there. Vol-Up/Pwr just brought up the logo and scrambled video again.
Since I was still able to get into download mode, I tried flashing another ROM...this one the "P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ" method. With this, I was able to also flash CWM so I have SOME recovery mode. Sadly, booting brings up the GT/SAMSUNG logos and I get the spacey animation, but after that, again - blackness. This time, however, the Menu/Home/Back/Search buttons light up, so something's happening in there.
Also, booting into CWM, I cannot get my sdcard to be recognized. I tried different cards, so there's something goofy with the slot itself, I'm guessing.
So nothing is really working, but since I can get into CWM and also download modes, I'm holding out hope that this is not completely bricked.
I just need to find the right method of getting it back to a functioning tablet. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all eyes. Thanks so much.
UPDATE: I tried reflashing stock using the tried and true method. But this time, I went in and flashed CWM replacing the stock recovery which never worked for me. I got the Galaxy Tab/Samsung logo, and at long last, the animated VZW logo. Then it would bootloop there. I booted into CWM recovery and wiped the data/system and the cache from the first page. It still booted and bootlooped the same. This time, I booted into recovery, went to the mounts and storage section and formatted the system, data and cache. Opening logo only. CWM again, and got a whole bunch of "cache missing" messages. But I think I'm getting closer. Back to work.
UPDATE II: So the farthest I can get is the animated VZW logo using the combo of the stock flash through Heimdall, then flashing CWM with Odin. Still no sdcard access. Anything I should try here? Thanks.

Did anyone figure out how to restore Verizon tab?
I've tried repeatedly to install CM7.2 and keep getting stuck on a blank screen. I'll see a "CyanogenMod" then "loading..." right below that. Then it goes blank and nothing ever happens after that.
Some background info. I've had CM7 installed on this in the past without problems. Months ago I went back to a rooted stock. Then yesterday I decided to try CM9 alpha. That installed perfectly. But it was too slow, so I decided to try CM7.2.
I used the same CWM 1GB boot SD, copied "encore_CM72-MiRaGe-02012012.zip" along with the Gingerbread Gapps and CWM. Installed in the same order and wipe data/factory reset.
So I got stuck on that blank screen after the CyanogenMod loading... message. I then decided restore to stock. Installed the 1.01 stock image. It also wouldn't boot up, but I powered it on and off 8 times and it did a factory reinstall and then it booted up normally.
Once back at a factory fresh system. I powered it off and tried installing CM7.2 again. Unfortunately I'm having the same problem again. Ugh, why won't it load now.
Hang on... I might be in the process of making a newb mistake. MD5 didn't match on my SD card, probably the ROM.ZIP is corrupted. Trying again with a good copy.
That was it. It's working now. Please disregard my idiot on the Internet moment. Thank you.
You always figure it out five minutes after you finally give up and post for help/venting.
Been there.
Been using the Toolkit 1.9.8 to root and unlock my att nexus 6. Seemed to work fine and have been running well for the past few days, however after a backup attempt (nandroid) the phone is stuck in a boot loop (spinning dots). Any tips to help me get it unstuck? I've rebooted into recovery and wiped the caches. I did successfully create a backup before it started looping so I'm trying to restore from that at the moment.
I just went and did a Nandroid too after running a few days fine after having unlocked and rooted. Now on my first boot I cant get the OS to load, stuck at the spinning dots splash screen too. I left it for about 20 minutes just to make absolutely sure it was stuck. I thought maybe it had to re-compile things or something with ART. IDK, it was a theory anyway.It seemed stuck for sure so I held down all buttons to force a turn off. I then booted into TWRP and restored my nandroid I just made, which I know shouldnt make a difference cause it is the same thing and I didnt wipe anything before anyway, just made a backup. Anyway, I restored the nandroid and tried to boot and it worked fine. Odd, but worth a try for you.
Hello,
Today, while I was using my phone, it restarted itself and has been stuck at a boot loop almost entirely since then. It has successfully booted up 2-3 times but will usually restart itself within 30-45 seconds of booting and then will be stuck in a boot loop again. When it has started up its usually after it has been bootlooping for a while. I'm rooted and using xTreme Rom v2.0. I have had occasional random reboots here and there before but the phone always booted right up again without any issues. I haven't done anything with root/recovery since early September.
I've tried doing a factory hard reset without any luck. My phone booted up after I tried the hard reset and it was like the reset didn't happen. I can't boot into TWRP. I can boot into download mode and I tried to reset using kdz. It got to 100% but the the phone restarts and is back in the boot loop (then the lg flash tool gets an error and force quits). I've tried removing my sd and sim cards, I've tried swapping to a different battery, I've tried leaving the battyer out and letting the phone cool down. Nothing is working. I have noticed that when the phone is going to boot up correctly the full LG animation plays. When the phone is going to boot loop I only get a static LG Powered by android image.
Any suggestions?
Since I tried to rest using kdz I can't get past the boot loop...Device also isn't recognized when using adb
edit: It booted up once this morning and went to the initial set up screen, like the kdz worked. But about 30 seconds-a minute later the phone locked up, rebooted and has been stuck in a boot loop since.
That's weird..
So the KDZ goes through all the way successfully.
Phone does the update all apps etc.. and it still boot loops after a while?
Which ROM version are you updating it back to?
My phone just did the exact same thing. I'm also on the Extreme Rom. Everything you described is my experience too. When I use the LG tool it goes all the way through and reboots the phone but just keeps bootlooping. Did you find a fix? I've tried everything i can think of. Probably going to take it in tomorrow and get warranty on it.

I used the following method:

Download the correct KDZ file to flash back to and follow the rest of the instructions. You can also look at this video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXO2SHqBiNk
The one you'll want to try is "Normal Flash"
"CSE Flash" is a full wipe that deletes all data.
Mine was weird where it told me my phone disconnected, but the progress bar was still continuing. If that happens to you, don't hit cancel, let the progress bar finish to 100%
