With... no bootloader? You mean you had the Froyo ones and didn't flash to GB ones?

idk i will be honest i was just messing around the button combos and the screen went black and odin found it and flashed back to stock. but it was strange it did have the download mode look it was completely black, no android clean up screen.

After Super_IO_Kernel can't install new ROMS

E:signature verification failed
on every ROM I try to install. Can someone link a solid kernel that I can flash over this new kernel so I can continue my flashing ways?...
I'd suggest to ODIN to stock, but try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866840
Yeah, Odin to stock is probably "best practices" anyway every time you flash a new ROM, eh?
And the one to do it to is the Eugene's something that won't brick right?
I think cwr has the option to turn off verification look in the menus, that might fix your problems

I don't know, I always just go back to JFD, and as soon as it boots up I reboot, load up into recovery and flash away.
And my quadrant gets stuck at h264 encoding .

The update.zip is still on the SD card so you just need to get into 2e and reinstall packages, no root needed

Thanks! I got a nice stock file from Da_G (Da Man!). Now like a lemming jumping off a cliff again, I want to re-root it. What would you suggest as the best way to do it and how would I avoid the same "sh*t" with clcokworkmod?
I just odin'd the rooted overclocked kernel to do root. Booted completely up then went back in download mode and odin'd cwm... Im on beta 2 not 3. .. Havent read if there is any issues on 3 that may have caused it.

Do you have a link to the Kernel that you rooted and instructions? I'm on android 2.3.6 kernel 2.6.35.11, build GINGERBREAD.UCLA1.
Damn! How can they justify installing Gingerbread in 2012 with ICS out and working?!
product code?

Hi vintshave;
I'm having the exact same CWM bootloop issue and it looks like I need to do the same thing you did. I'm trying to download the stock rom (using check FUS) but I'm not sure what the Product Code is? It says to dial a number to get the product code but that's not an option right now obviously. Is it on the back somewhere?
If you got it somewhere else, can you let me know?
Thanks a lot!

Whoops; ignore me. I just loaded and flashed the beta 3 CWM and all is well again; tiny text, but all good. Thanks to snovvman for posting the link to the newer recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23207501&postcount=2
CWR3 runs just fine for me , no problems yet ,, i think if you are haveing boot loop problems you did something wrong , do a search in the developers forum and look for att recovery ,
use oden and flash back to facotry and if all is well start over ,, its not hard i am new at this ,, about a week or two now and i have
root
blue battery mod
over clock ker
CWR 3
custom rom
just read every thing first befor you try to flash , read the hole post to see if there are any problems with said mod befor you just flash away
good luck

Phone borked?

So I was on the latest MIUI, and flashed Dream Kernel. That went fine, I rebooted, then tried to flash CM 9.0.1 via CWM, and the phone shut off, but never booted back up. Now it won't boot at all, in any mode. It doesn't respond when I put it on the charger either. The screen dimly flashes occasionally if it's getting power from the charger or the battery.
Any ideas? :x
Have you tried plugging the phone into the charger without the battery, then put the battery in a bit later?
If this makes boo sense.... It's the lime a Rita telling.

Well I had a similar issue sometime ago with my phone. What I did was plugged phone to PC an flashed stock ROM Via Odin. It worked for me twice Odin was still able to connect to What I 777. Found stock ROM in the general forms in Xda after I did that connected to Kies an Installed official ROM for I777. Took some time but I recovered phone twice hope it work for U too..

You said the phone shut off after u tried installing the latest cm9. But never booted back up. That tells me you tried to.install it using rom manager app. Which everyone here knows not to use. At least that's what it sounds like. If I'm wrong, then we'll need a bit more information from u. Exact steps on what u did and if u downloaded the correct cm9 for our phones etc.

check the dev section for all of whatever you want to flash with CWM
Mmk, I'm back on stock and everything is gravy, thanks for the help guys. I'm going to try and flash AOKP, but I'm having trouble finding a good download for CWM. Anyone have one? I just want a CWM that works correctly. Not trusting ROM manager anymore.

I appreciate your positive attitude and that this whole thread u have been nice and respectful. So ill fill ya in bud our phones aren't like most. Our kernels come with the recovery built into it. (CWM). So whenever u flash a kernel, you're also flashing a recovery too.

Guys,
i have a Gnex and can tell you thats just how recovery looks...
Nothing to be worried about.
On Gnex we have Andy with the triangle and have to hold down volume buttons to get the options to appear... Dont know if you guys already have the options or just a blank screen with dead Andy.
If you have no options try a few key combos and they will appear
dont worry nothings broken.

It is most likely due to cwm 6.0.1.2 being broken. Can't create nandroid backup or detect external sd . I use 5.0.2.1 and can create backups on my external card.
In every other respect it's ok though as far as I know

I will post a video of what it is doing.
I can access all: Download Mode & Recovery
But it's like no matter what rom i flash it freezes and crashes at startup causing a black screen.
I don't think this classifies as a hard brick cause it boots.

You're right its a soft brick , IMO i think it sounds like the 1.7 is causing the problem. Which stock are you using with Odin?

I'm using the june 2012 one from samfirmware.
try running with normal cpu clocks, 1512/384 and see if that helps
also, try booting without any external sd card, and, also, pull battery for 5 minutes and see if that helps
Fixed. Please lock and delete.
Excellent,
What did you find ?
