need HELP...ASAP

[AuxiliaryPie]

Ok guys im in a pickle that im hoping isnt so bad...
I rooted to the latest version of Cyanogen all fine and dandy, and just installed Chevyno1's 1.0ghz kernel via the Update.zip method and apparently that is conflicting with something because when i boot up and unlock the phone EVERYTHING constantly force closes (launcher being the biggest lol). is there a way out of this? im thinking i need to flash an .sbf file?? but i dont want to mess anything else up lol so any and all help is GREATLY appreciated

do you have any other roms on your sd card? you could just boot to recovery and flash a different rom, then try to redo it.

i went to Cyanogen through rom manager OTA so i dont think there is another rom on the sd card, if there is i cant find it/dont know what to look for using clockwork

Have you tried a data wipe?

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

Have you tried a data wipe?

no, would that just revert me back to a rooted 2.1?

 

[Cory Streater]

I'm not an expert at what it does, but I think it clears a bunch of files that may be conflicting with the new ROM. It definitely doesn't revert you back to your previous ROM. I just know when I experienced similar problems, it was because I didn't check the checkboxes when asked if I wanted to do a factory reset and wipe data. When I went back and did those 2 things, my problem went away.

What rom did you come from? If you came from Cyanogen to a newer version of Cyanogen you should not be having said issues. If you came from a different rom (stock, BB, UD...ect) you need to wipe.
You will have to reset everything up (setting) and redownload your apps. You should go ahead and wipe. That should solve your issues.

proceeded with the wipe, selected reboot after it was successful and now im stuck at the Motorola logo...not good :/

Pull the battery and let it reboot again. The first boot takes a minute.
If not (I'm sure you have the Clockwork recovery still) boot into recovery, select install zip from sd, then select zip from sd and open up the clockwork mod folder. find the folder that has the latest (guessing you used Cyanogen 5.0.6.2) clockwork update zip. reinstall it.

ok i tried reflashing an SBF file following these steps: Video: Flashing SPRecovery SBF to Stock 2.1 | Droid Life: A Motorola Droid Blog

problem being, it says it was successful but it is still stuck at the Motorola logo...am i screwed?

edit- now i have sprecovery instead of clockwork mod, should i download a ROM from my computer and try an update.zip installation?

 

[Roy Aguilera]

It wouldn't hurt.

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

It wouldn't hurt.

i like the way you think. ill get back to you afterwards...thanks A LOT (seriously)

 

[AuxiliaryPie]

ok all problems solved...verizon did a warranty swap no questions asked so again thanks a lot for everyones help!! i appreciate it a lot

Dude you went to far out of your way the sbf was not needed. I guess it's a learning experience for next time all that was requires was to wipe data and cache. Go to mount options format system. Then go install zip choose zip. Clockwork download koush Rom raid. Install the Rom. Roy told you all that you needed to do

Do people seriously not backup these days?

If you don't backup you deserve the fate of SBFing.
