[Q] Sanyo Zio rooting help!

---

I rooted my phone and i installed cyanogen mod. After hitting backup current rom, my phone rebotted and it now has a black screen with white, small letters that say "fastoboot." I'm new to this and do not know what to do!

If you installed CM7 on it there is your problem. Quit pushing buttons you don't know about. What phones CM7 did you put on your phone? Because there is no CM for the Zio. You need to do a lot of learning before you just do stuff bro. Go to the development section for the Zio and start reading.

Hope you have a computer to use.

Yea, i clicked on the first option. I don't even remember what it said, but thanks for giving me that tip. And yea that's how i found about the rooting.

I would recommend starting in the Easy Clockwork Mod Recovery thread as that is required stuff for running a rooted Zio. You have to know or learn how to use Adb/Fastboot from your computer. Im assuming you were trying to install/backup the rom on Rom Manager. Thats a nono on Zio.

ok, so all of a sudden my phone is back on, but it says "Digital Roaming." Should i just get another phone? this is frustrating now.

You are very vague in your entire description of what you did and what is happening now. If you have CM running on your phone I would sure like to know how, and what phone it was built for, because I am certain no one has ported CM to the Zio. You said you installed it and now it's working, this should be impossible. Are you sure you installed CyanogenMod? And if you did where did you get it from? And where does it say Digital Roaming?

First I downloaded z4 root on my phone. The next thing I did was install Titanium Backup from the market. After all this was downloaded the phone was rooted and i was able to delete preloaded apps such as sprint tutorials and other stuff i didn't want. Then I downloaded ROM manager which is where I downloaded CyanogenMod and chose 7.1. I chose the first option on the list since i didn't see the sanyo zio and it worked. The last thing i did was attempt to backup the current ROM and that's where it took me to the black screen where it said fastboot. Idk what i did, but when i tried turning it on for the last time, my phone was back to normal. Usually the connection status says 3G, but now it says that i am roaming.

Does that help?

Yes. First off there is virtually no support for Sprint Zios. Second off I would try to get in to your roaming settings and turn it to home only. Thirdly I would try to find out what phones ROM you have on your Zio(what phone the CM ROM was built for). Fourth and finally I'd say you are about a step or two away from bricking your phone out completely.

If you have insurance on it I would (lose it) and get a new one thru insurance. If not I would be very careful about what you do or try from here on out. I will check and see if the recovery for the Cricket Zio also works on Sprint, if it does I believe there is a Stock Rom from Sprint for the Zio here somewhere and that may just save you. May.

In "about phone" at the bottom of settings menu.
