Need a hand:

[GryphonD]

Installed "Liquid Battery Indicator" Metamorph on 2.2 Rooted phone. Phone now Boot Loops and will not allow Booting into Recovery...Just sticks at the M through numerous Auto attempts to Boot to Recovery.. Tried taking out SD card and then booting to Recovery, no success.

I'm a little confused.

Are your using Rom Manager for the "Auto" attempts?
Why are you removing your SD card?
Once you remove the SD card what process are you using to boot into recovery?

SPR
Removed SD just incase it was an issue with data on there which it was apparently not.
With or W/out SD, I am trying Power+X.

Have made it as far as getting it into BootLoader, via Power+X+D-pad^.
now have RSD Lite running but it will not recognize my phone as a model....

Your in good hands! mwHartman will get you back on track!

 

[GryphonD]

By Auto-Attempts, I mean... when you hold Power+X long enough, it starts trying to boot to recovery all over again (that is, when it can not get into Rec). Have let it go through three of those five times now...

 

[mwhartman]

Thanks for the clarification.

If you are not able to get into SPR with the "X" and power your thought about RSD is the next step. Here is a link http://www.droidforums.net/forum/hacking-faqs/39254-sbf-root-unroot.html that may help.

I've read threads that users indicate it takes several attempts to connect. Others have success with different version of Windows.

I'm not sure what else to suggest, sorry.

[mwhartman]

Is your battery charged sufficiently?

Thanks for the kind words, Johnly. I'm struggling with this one but I will keep researching.

[GryphonD]

Aye, full charge, will keep activating RSDL for a while and see what takes place.

I'm trying to contact some of the rescue squad to see if they have other suggestions/recommendations.

What version of Windows are you running?

I use a Mac so I have limited experience with RSD. I believe that one of the versions of Windows requires you to have admin privileges. Unfortunately, I do not recall the version.

I am on Win7 Ulti 32, trying as Admin but still getting the same thing over and over again...

RSDL fails flashing SPR due to lack of model ident...
Continues to fail ident of model.

 

[GryphonD]

Yup... so far, still a no go....

In rsdlite.....make sure you got version 4.6 and all current drivers.
Then try going to config: deviceID: change it to first-come-first-serve(something like that) not at my pc to check. See if it recognizes it after that.

What is it with rsd-lite some people have so many problems with it and some don't.

When I had to use it I think the process took about five minutes. I couldn't believe how well it worked. But then you get these horror stories from some.

Hope you got that fixed! If not I'll re flash just so we can compare and make sure your not missing a setting or something.
