Help with Liberty Rom

---

Hello, new here on XDA and hoping to be an established member here!

Im just startin out with roms and rooting. I trierd to install the liberty rom and its not working i dont think....

- i installed system recovery
- did a backup
- went through the rom toolbox and downloaded the liberty zip
- went through system recovery and installed liberty from the SD card.
- it went through successfully

now im stuck on a screen with the liberty bird spinning, the words liberty rom above it and it goes black every 3-5 seconds.

am i stuck? is it going through a process of some kind? it does this whether im plugged into the wall or not.

I just pulled the battery and i got the red M dual core logo, it went back to that liberty screen and is doing the same thing. I cant do anything!!!!

just some additional info for any help that may come my way....


i was on 2.3.4 before i flashed

I cant think of any other relevant info ppl might need. this is my only phone though, so im hurtin right now lol

Sounds like you are in a boot loop. Another important step you should have done before you rebooted out of recovery is to do the following:

1) Wipe the data
2) Wipe the cache
3) Wipe the dalvik cache

You can still salvage what you did. You need to pull the battery out. Then, put the battery in. After that, press and hold the power button AND the Volume Down button. Do this until you see words appear on the screen at the top.

Next, click the volume down button until you see Android Recovery.

Click the Volume Up button.

Wait a bit and you should then see the familiar Droid Icon with an exclamation point. When you get there, press both the Up and Down volume buttons at the same time to continue into recovery mode.

After that, you will be in the stock recovery. Click the volume down button to select the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and press the power button.

Once that's done, you can then select the Reboot System Now menu item and you should be good to go.

Remember, you should ALWAYS wipe the data, cache and Dalvik when flashing a new ROM to ensure left over files are lying around causing the dreaded boot loop you are experiencing.

I just tried it.

Im stuck on the liberty rom screen, but i read that it could take 10mins to boot up the first time. the screen isnt going black like it was before so I think im in the clear.

Im late for work now! hahaha

thank you so much though. This forum is a wonderful resource and the people seem really nice so far!

You may need to sbf if you cannot get back to the boot strap recovery screen.

Pull the battery and put the battery back in but do not power it on. Instead plug your phone into the charger if it goes into bootstrap recovery then wipe data, wipe chache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cahce. reflash liberty and youll be good to go. If it doesn't youll have to sbf back to stock then try again. This time wipe data cache and dalvik and youll be ok. SBFing is easy and there is a tutorial the general section. If you have any questions on sbfing just put them here and myself or one of the other great community members will help you out.
