Bricked?

[lietbra]

Well i used BuildOS to make a rom, and it says it successfully loaded it, but now when i try to turn on the phone it just sits on the boot splash screen. I AM able to go into hardboot, but the computer still wont recognize that the phone is hooked up to the computer, in otherwords activesync doesnt work. Is my phone bricked?

no. flash with a SD card using a premade rom. then redo your build and reflash.

Did you try a hard reset? If that doesn't work and you can boot into the bootloader screen...just reflash see if that helps. If not grab a stock rom for carrier, flash that and rebuild your rom using the kitchen again. Now if that doesn't work, redownload the kitchen. I hope this helps a little. I am still kinda new to the flashing but it is very easy and straight forward.

ok so im still kind of confused, how do i flash the sd card? and when i do, how would that work if i cant even get the phone to load up?

also, i do not know how to hard reset.

sorry, i am a newby at this.

just so that im not saying the wrong thing, bootloader screen is the tricolor screen correct?

It's kind of a big problem too since this is my only phone i have at teh moment, so i need it to get a hold of people, im sure ill be getting my arse chewed out for not answering.

lets back up a bit. you did unlock your phone first, right?

as far as the SD flash, go into the upgrade forum at the top of the TP main page. find a rom that you like and works with your phone. save the file to your SD card and rename(i cant remember the name but its in the flashing guide). now just follow the instructions in that post and you should be GTG.

yea its unlocked, like i said, i can get into the tricolor screen and it says unlocked up top

i will assume you did this first, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61333

if you did that, now follow the instructions here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43266 about how to flash using the SD card.

as long as you can get to the bootloader screen you should be GTG.

I hope you get your phone working alright (and you probably will), but is it really a good idea to start cooking your own roms before you know how to hard reset, flash off of an sd card, or know for sure what the bootloader screen is? You should probably do this in smaller steps.
