Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??

or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..

Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...

Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Yes it works!!! i am downloading another rom now and then i will place it into the sd card. Thanks !!!!!!

Thank you rista and fko!!! You guys are my angels!!

SNAP... !!
Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Good to hear....well Ive got to call it a night....been up 17 hours
Us flashaholics and modders spend way to much time on the dev forums....its a hard life ..
Maybe it was for the best...you will enjoy custom roms, you can do so much..take a quick look at my DHD screenshot...its so far away from stock now

Fkofilee, you are a great help to people. It's people like you who inspired me to give back what I've learned from these forums. Now we pass the knowledge and experience on. Well done!

calm down take a breather us XDA users got your back, OK take out the battery and put it back in then go to the Hboot ( hold power and volume down) then once you get to the Hboot Settings use volume down to get to RECOVERY (i think its the third one) then once you get into Clockwork Recovery scroll down to (Backup and Restore) click then press (Restore) and then choose your Restore file it usually Year-month-day hope i helped you donate pls if i did
BE SURE TO KEEP THE CHARGER IN!!
p.s. if it turns off while its restoring even with the charger in let it boot into recovery mode and let it charge up a bit
incase you still need help gtalk me [email protected]
and p.s. CWM 3.0.0.5 is for gingerbread only

Certain roms require certain versions of clockworkmod. I don't know if this also applies to restoring from backups, though. Which type of rom did you flash?

If he flashed the add on 3.0.0.5 has ext3/ext4 support. Should be able to flash froyo and TB Rome.

3.0.0.6 supports ext3/ex4 3.0.0.5 only does Gingerbread
Edit: I'm being a dumbass yea what he said was right I'm overly tired and I have to explain to her why I was being a dumbass and trying to flash through fastboot but what I don't understand is why its still stuck at the boot screen

Three options
Option one: (easiest)
Since you flashed 3.0.0.5 you must flash a Gingerbread ROM, (Which you can download from here ). Make sure to flash the G/apps after you flash the ROM.
Option two:
you can flash a 2.x.x.x Recovery image, or flash 3.0.0.6 via script or manually do it via the HBoot.
Option three:
Flash the PD15IMG and start over from ground one.

thank you so much for the advice and help. i could bang my head on the wall for trying to load gorillasens. i shouldve left it alone. once i get home from work i will give it a try again.

Ah. i think i see what happened. You rooted your phone. downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager, then flashed a recovery image (which was version 3.x). then tried to flash a 2.2 ROM.
Okay. so what.....
a common mistake but one that can be avoided by doing a little research.
Clockwork's 3.0.0.5 recovery image is only compatible with Gingerbread (2.3) based ROMs.
Clockwork's 2.x recovery image are only compatible with FroYo (2.2) based ROMs.
gorilla is 2.2 So it's not cannot be flashed by the recovery image you are using.
if that is correct then the text in the recovery image should be orange in color. If that is correct.....If i were in your shoes i'd load CM7 w/ the GAPPS > download CWRM from the markert > scroll to the bottom (all clockwork recoveries) and flash the newest 2.x. then boot into recovery / make sure the text is GREEN, not ORANGE, wipe then flash your GorillaSense.

Can you cite a source, because I've also heard people claim that Clockwork 3 is backwards compatible, but there was no evidence either way...?
How would you go about switching from a 2.2 ROM to a 2.3 ROM? Do you have to backup with CWM 2, then install CWM 3 to install the new ROM? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me...?

3.0.0.5 is not backwards compatible, which is the official 3.x that you download via the Application. 3.0.0.6 which is "beta" flashed via the HBoot is backwards compatible.
It's seriously jacked if you ask me.
to go from lets say CM6 > CM7 one would do a nandroid backup of CM6, then go to CWRM flash the 3.0.0.5 recovery image > boot into recovery and flash the CM7.
now to get back to a 2.2 ROM you have to scroll to the bottom of CWRM app's and flash a 2.x version of the recovery then do your nandroid restore, flash the 2.2 recovery image.
From what i've heard once 3.0.0.6 is finished you can use that for everything.

What a pain...
I'm real sketchy about the Clockwork 3 recoveries for the Nexus, because they've been screwing up partitions (mine included). Has there been any problems with Clockwork 3 on the Glacier?

I haven't had any problems with mine. The only problem that was noted was the 3.0.0.5 prior to the official release wouldn't do Nandroid Backups directly from the application. Some were reporting it work work from the recovery image, but mine never did.
and i have a feeling the reason it's screwing with Partitions is this (CM7/CW3.x) is a Ext4 set up. And CM6/CW2.x is a Ext3 set up.
but since it went official the only problem i've seen is people flashing the the wrong recovery for the wrong ROM. People are flashing 3.x because 3 is higher than 2 so they think it's an upgrade and have no clue on the who/what/when/wheres and whys of what its for.

The partition thing is different for the Nexus, because they are cross compatible to a certain degree. I rolled back to CWM 2, but I can still flash CM7 no probs...
It's interesting to note the differences between the two platforms though (Nexus vs Glacier).

Yea between Google's way of doing thing and HTC, but i'm sure the chip-set has something to do with that. and with the sexy nexi only having 512Mb of memory the factor of tricking the phone to use the SD card has something to do with it i'm sure.

i have the 3.x recovery and i can flash iceglacier which is a 2.2 rom with out any issues. what i can't do is restore my backup from my other phone onto this replacement i just got. i made the backup with the 3.x recovery but i just keep getting stuck at the mytouch bootup screen... gonna try flashing the 2.x recovery and see if it lets me do the restore.

hey there everyone. just giving an update.......phone is still messed up. we tried putting gingerbread on and no go....tried flashing to PD15IMG and starting over. no go, it kept saying that "main version older <bad>" the phone wont go past the htc screen. im going on day 3 and no phone. *sigh* open for more advice. should i just buy another phone?

anyone know what i can do please help.. thank you
some people said i can download a new rom drag it to my sd card once the card is mounted to the computer. so i tried (3 different roms) and it will not let me drag it to the sd card folder once i put it on my desktop. how do i fix my phone???? lol

no my phone will not boot up i just have the sd card mounted phone by my side off. i was told to drag the rom into sd card then reinstall into phone go to recovery mode and unzip the filed rom from the sd card through the phone using the volume buttons and lock button to select.
but it wll not let me drag the rom into the sd card to even get that far

Answer is to find another kernel (stock or otherwise) and put it on the SD Card. Then boot into Recovery and flash it.

Sounds like you may have loaded an ASOP kernel on a Sense Rom. What you are gonna need to do is pull out the SD Card and connect to your computer with a USB adapter so SD Card reader if you Laptop/PC has one. Download a SENSE Rom kernel and flash that in Recovery. If that doesn't work. put the phone back to stock and start over. Also, you might want to copy the Titanium Backup folder to your PC, just in case.

Post in the wrong section?
Install the correct kernel for my rom?
Give enough info so people can help me?
Ruin my phone by being a moron?
Not know how to use adb, fastboot or the bootloader because I rooted with a method that teaches me nothing about the phone?
Sorry was just playing the "finish my thread title game"

So, have I bricked my phone?

Used ROM Manager and downloaded Leedriod 3.0, ran Terminal Emulator and did everything by the book. Went into ClockWork Recovery mode and everything looked okay. Then went to HTC boot animation screen and that's where it has been ever since. Every five minutes or so I get the delightful sound of HTC and a permanently on HTC, Quietly Brilliant Boot screen. It's been going like that for about 25 minutes now.
Any help would be appreciated.

No its not bricked, its in bootloop.
This is what i do when it happens to me:
Pull out the battery. If the phone is off, turn it back on with volume down + power on button. Wait till you get the bootloader screen. Now select recovery. In ClockWork Recovery you can set your backup back. (if you had made one before).
I hope its helps you. Goodluck.

Or just copy another rom file to the sd card and flash again.

Unfortunately I made the classic error of not backing up first, was trying to do this while in work (not good) so I presume at this point I'm screwed

Thanks, will try that tonight.

It doesn't hurt to try to flash the rom you already have once again.

Just what joooe said. Use super wipe to clear data. just for sure.
Good luck.

Just a quick thanks to you guys, did Super Wipe and installed Android Revolution 6.20 last night and all went well. It was worth the screw up to have the small learning curve in the end

I did this one of the first times i flashed roms
i did have abackup first but its a scary experience lol

Problems installing new ROM

Dear All,
After losing my Samsung Galaxy Note in Amsterdam during a heavy weekend I am back on my girlfriend's old ZTE Blade and have been trying to update it a little.
I downloaded the KonstaKang ROM and GApps to the ext. Sd card and booted into clockwork mod recovery (I rooted and flashed a custom rom for her when I gave it to her originally).
I did the full wipe just to make it all as clean as poss and went to install the new rom but ran into some problems.
Firstly the sd card could not be accessed. It was if it was not mounted. I tried various things including mounting it in mounts and storage, restarting recovery, reformatting the sd in another android and the pc etc. Eventually (it felt random) it let me choose zip from sd.
Thats when the rom was selected but it then told me that the rom was (bad) and would not install. Again I redownloaded it and another rom and also a new version of cwm. Still nothing would work it was all (bad).
Out of frustration I kept trying and eventually it changed its mind and let me install the rom. After installation I attempted to reboot system but it just hanged at the boot logo and would go no further.
I have tried all the above multiple times and all combos of things I can think of to get it to work but no luck. The phone randomly seems to decide if the .zips are (bad) but at least it allows me to access them now. Ive also tried installing the other rom and new cwm but nothing will work. Boot logo and nothing more.
Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? Whats the best way to get a rom on this old blade?!
Many thanks x

Well, first, you have an S3. Why use the Blade?
Second, have you looked into TPT + ROM? Also, what Gen blade is it? Once you can get something stable like cm7 booting, we can progress further

Well I believe it is a gen2 blade. I vaguely remember having to update it from gen1 but I cant be 100% sure. It was a long time ago!
I am using my girlfriends s3 to get on these forums so unfortunately I cant keep it!
I havent looked at tpt + rom and am unsure what that is at the moment . I shall have a read.
I must also say that I managed to install a new version of cwm but still no luck with any roms.
I am loading new roms on the ext sd from this s3 or through my pc I was wondering if the files were getting corrupted somehow. My pc doesnt see the phone so I have to use a card reader.
So yes roms are still saying 'cant open... (bad)' error when trying to install...
Thanks for your reply

I also have realised since installing new version of cwm that it never actually let me install it just restarted recovery and didnt show the error log.
