My first try flashing a rom

[Guest XeNy]

hi guys

yesterday i tried to install android 2.1 on my pulse

everything went good

but i forgot to make a nandroid backup

wich i should have done. I followed the guide from eckengucker.

Everything went fine, i installed it succesfully.

but then when i booted, it first shows the t mobile logo

and then the android logo but then nothing happens and i waited above 10 minutes.

The reason why i didnt made a backup is that i didnt now why

i should do one becouse i didnt had any needful things on my phone.

But now im very angry about myself.

Is there anyway to get a nandroid backup ?

or any suggestion what the solution could be ?

peace and thank you

Your phone has been bricked, you might as well toss it in the bin.

Joke you boot into recovery mode by holding red button and menu while turning on the device. From there you can clear all your caches and partion the sd card. Then restart while having the SD card removed. It should work.

Lol that's cruel :)

If you want to go back to a 1.5 build such as 1.7 vanilla or tmobile you could download it, format your ms removing any ext or swap partitions, add the rom to the root of the ms, wipe then flash from zip.

Should work..

After wiping and clearing cache, you should reapply a rom.

hu hm i got a problem, do i need always to put out the sd card before booting ?

becouse if i try to boot with sd card it wont work

and its really annoying to always out out the card

but anyway i think im gonna use the 1.7 rom

i think its more stable

no it was a bug in 2.1 so if you install 1.7 you shouldnt have a problem with booting
