phone froze, Clockwork not working

[5111]

I previously updated my phone with the update.zip. It worked for a while and then started giving me grief. I backed up the SD card and then tried the simple root. After a few tries, it appeared to be successful. I formatted my SD card and then replaced the backed up files. I then backed up my phone with Titanium backup.

Here is where the trouble lies: I powered down the phone and held the volume down/camera/power button until it booted into ClockworkMod Recovery. I selected "wipe data/factory reset" and pressed the home key. The screen went black but the led stayed on and the keys on the bottom stayed lit up. It stayed like that for 10 minutes or so. I tried pressing buttons, powering on/off, nothing. Finally I did a battery pull. After the battery pull it allows me to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, but won't let me reboot or anything. Anytime I make a selection, it goes to a black screen.

Now what? I'm freaking out here!

When you pulled the battery, you likely corrupted the OS. No biggie, just return to stock using Odin and this guide.

How long does it take to do the factory wipe? It was on the blank screen and appeared unresponsive for at least 10 minutes.

The Factory Wipe in CWM is a matter of seconds. It simply clears /system, /data, /cache.


Sounds like something has gone wrong and you need to apply a NanDroid Backup if you made one (the backup feature in CWM) or you will have to Odin back to stock as the other visitor mentioned.

[How to] Factory Restore (or Fix a Bricked Phone)

Procedure #1 will restore you to Froyo EB13

Procedure #2 will restore you to Eclair 2.1


If you choose at this point to skip all the bull you can use Odin and go straight to a stock deodexed prerooted/CWM installed version of Froyo EB13 and be done.

You have to choices, you can use this method to get to a Froyo EB13 prerooted/CWM 2.5.1.0 RFS Filesystem or go the full boat and go Froyo EB13 prerooted/CWM 3.0.0.6/EXT4 Filesystem and be ready to flash any ROMs or themes, etc. whatever you would like to do. This is an all in one package, one install and your all done.
