Here are the rules of this thread...



  1. Dont ask me when I am going to make a H/K mod. I will work on it as soon as I can. Prolly on Friday Night.
  2. Dont ask me to make mods... There are a lot of other developers that could throw in 15 minutes of there time to help out. Thats how we used to do it back in the day! but I will eventually make Power Menu and Tether Theft if no one steps up
  3. Dont ***** about the download speeds if they slow down.
  4. You can ask questions related to the firmware if you need to.
  5. Dont flame someone because they cant read.

no i did not, i think i may have just bricked the phone, trying to get adb to work now...

Your phone is not bricked...

Bootlooped maybe... But not bricked...

Your not going to get ADB until you can get into recovery.

To do that your going to need to hold Volume and Power Up unti the phone reboots then QUICKLY hold Volume down. That will get you back into the bootloader. From there you can go to recovery and try again.

Strange man. At least you are rocking!!! :good:

I would recommend the firmware though...

The ROMS have files that work with the new firmware, like for radio and all.
