Semi Bricked - Need Help!

[STIDRIVER]

yes, I installed google apps.... just for kicks, I tried Jrummy again(one I've run before)... and it runs great. I'm not fully back up, but its working fine... its weird.... I don't know why other Roms were failing...

Im having some issues as well. As long as you got it working that's a good thing. I'm working on getting things fixed for my phone. Have been trying things all day and nothings worked.

 

[STIDRIVER]

I really think something has been wrong with Rom Manager for the last few days.... I'm gonna stay with Jrummy for a while(which is awesome!) till everything smooths out....

 

[jstafford1]

Hope you don't have anymore issues for now. There could be some issues with the recent update. Its hard to tell.

I've just be looking and you'd thing there would be a whole lot more threads complaining about RM being borked... Hope its not just me...

^^ ok that worked.. you might want Christim to update his steps to include that. Also his step that says "install /sdcard/update.zip (depreciated)" actually says "apply sdcard/update.zip"... Small things, but when your dealing with people that aren't as tech savvy as you, being specific counts...

You're all set now, but the triangle is the stock boot-recovery app. You needed to install sprecovery before flashing a rom. That's the one where rebooting while holding X works.

I just rebooted my phone into SPRecovery.
The rooting 2.1 with sprecovery steps 8, 9, and 10 are indeed as they are written. While in SPRecovery my phone has the bottom option as "Install /sdcard/update.zip (depreciated)"

The non-depreciated version may have been what you saw in the stock recovery app. I'm not going back to stock just to check though

If you aren't sure if you are rooted you'll know when trying SetCPU, applying a MM theme, or trying to type su in Terminal Emulator

btw....almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. You either are bricked, forever, or not

Fortunately ... you are not!

^^^ Thanks for your help man... I was worried there for a while. You are correct, I didn't DL SPRecovery... my bad. I didn't knowthat was required, especially since I'm using RM which has Clockwork recovery. Do you think I should install it anyways? Def rooted... Got Jrummy to work and using setcpu to OC...

You can't run both Clockwork and SPRecovery at the same time. Nor can you run either one at the same time as the stock recovery app. Rom Manager will let you "flash alternative recovery method" which is SPRecovery, if you need it.
