Stuck in Airplane mode after root and ROM install

cayeco · #1 (**permalink**) 01-25-2011, 12:42 PM

I rooted with clockwork 3 and installed the latest Midnight ROM. Everything went surprisingly during the boot and the flash. When the phone finally booted, the airplane mode is flashing and the phone is stuck on silent. I have since tried other ROMS and I still have the same problem. I can not flash back to stock because now the USB conections stopped working as well. Everything Ive read tells me to flash to a stock rom using Odin, but again I cant connect via USB anymore. Any help will be appreciated.

wipe data/ cache 3 times and try the flash again. i would try to fix the usb issue too cause i think your gonna need to odin.

It also seems to be stuck in a loop scanning the media files on the SD card. I tried the cache clearing through clockwork and also reset it to factory defaults. I at my wits end.

Thanks for the link. I downloaded the files to go back to dk28 but since I changed my file system with clockwork 3 so I could install the midnight ROM, the old ROMS will not run anymore. Is there a recovery rom that is in the new file system?

This just happened to me. I fixed mine by using odin to go back to DK28, then installed CW3, then installed midnight off of SD card from CW3.

Start with the phone off, open the slider and hold the 1 key down and then hold the power button. Does the yellow triangle eventually come up? Be sure and read the Odin howto carefully. This is a pretty hard phone to brick, you may have just missed a step somewhere.

In my case I think the problem was caused by trying to go from eclair to midnight rom. I'm guessing that midnight doesn't install any radios or modems and the eclair versions don't work with it.

By the way, so far midnight rom looks pretty nice. this is my first custom rom on the new phone, I may have picked the right one. I figured if Darren was using it it must be pretty good.
