How to fix endless boot cycle..??
 

Was messing with SetCPU and forgot to uncheck "Set on Boot" and now I'm in an endless boot cycle... Running Virus's Carbon B2 ROM, do I have to reflash..?? I can't manage to get the screen on long enough to change it, FML..!!

I've made that mistake. Fortunately after multiple resets I was finally able to get in and reduce the clock speed.

Yeah that's what I keep trying, I can make it to the screen to uncheck the button but as soon as setcpu opens it freezes an reboots =(

I think I was probably lucky. Did you backup first?

Yeah everythings backed up, I just didn't wanna go through all that if I could use ADB or something to remove SetCPU..??

Would this work?

adb remount
adb shell
#cd /system/apps [OR WHICHEVER DIRECTORY SetCPU IS STORED IN]
#mv setcpu.apk setcpu.apk.bak [RENAME SetCPU.APK to .BAK]
#exit
adb reboot

Wouldn't this in theory stop SetCPU from opening after the reboot?

you know the new version of setcpu has safemode built in

2.0.3 - Added a "safe mode" function that prevents SetCPU from running any tasks during boot if a file called "setcpu_safemode" exists in /sdcard or /data/local. This is useful if unstable settings were saved with "set on boot" checked.

When I did this, I booted into recovery, remounted the data partition, and deleted the apk. I am extremely comfortable with the command line, though.

If you have another ROM on your sd card boot into recovery and flash that, then do a complete wipe and reinstall the ROM of your choice. You will lose everything if it's not backed up, but at least you will have a phone that works.
