If you made a backup before you flashed, you can access it by pulling the battery, pressing the magnifying glass button and putting the battery back in. When you see the exclamation point icon, press 'x' and you'll enter into the phone's recovery mode.

If you didn't make a backup, you'll need to sbf.

i would sbf but i cant get into bootloader i get a black screen and it says alert unplug all cables an remove battery and reinsert battery and power on phone

you dont need to be in the bootloader to SBF and the bootloader is locked down on this phone so you cant get in it anyways...

 

[ghostv714]

ok well how can i sbf w/out the bootloader !

Follow instructions and you wont have a problem.

This puts you back to Froyo so you will have to get the GB OTA then root again.

Does this ROM boot and function on your phone?

If it does power off then boot back up holding the volume down button, this will access the MIUI boot menu from there you can access a CWR to restore a previous backup with.

OK I do not ha even custom recovery. And for that link I cannot get into bootloader or use debug mode to work! I idk what else to do!

 

[scarryman04]

miui has a custom recovery built in if you can access the boot menu like I said while booting and holding volume down when u see the green or blue light...I forget which one is first but u have to hit volume down before the second light.

ok ill give it a try but can i flash another rom or the correct miui rom ?

 

[scarryman04]

Yeah if you have another rom or backup on your SD card

 

[ghostv714]

well i tried it and its a no go it wont load up anything it will just go straight into miui its d2g is there a differance to get that menu through miui ?

 

[scarryman04]

exactly which miui rom did you flash? we might be talking about different devs rom

 

[ghostv714]

well i grabbed the rom from miui.us it was the d2g rom

 

[scarryman04]

oh ok yeah I was def talking about a different miui...lol

 

[ghostv714]

lol ok so do you think ther is anything i can do !? i really need this phone to work !

 

[scarryman04]

try booting into recovery by powering phone off then hold power and x once you get to the triangle screen with the exclamation point push the magnifying glass and it should boot you into the cw recovery or stock recovery

 

[ghostv714]

i get the stock recovery but i dont know what to do then there is nothing i can flash to save the phone !

 

[scarryman04]

which one did you install 1.10.21 or 1.9.16 it might make a difference on how to fix your problem

 

[scarryman04]

if you can get to stock recovery put a rom on the root of your sd card named update.zip (making sure its not update.zip.zip because windows hides file extensions by default) go back to there and select the apply update.zip option that might work
