    Default Uh-Oh. Just tried to root and caught in a boot loop


    Ok, so I followed this guide:

    http://www.androidandme.com/2009/05/...stall-cupcake/

    and got to the end where I basically turn on my phone and I'm done.

    Well, i'm on the loading screen with the blue android text and the white shine going across it but it just keeps on going across, pauses for a second, and then continues.

    What do i do?

    power down phone, hold home button and press power. alt+w to wipe phone. seems to be the easiest way to fix boot loop. other than reflashing.

    crazy's got you. that should work fine. i pulled battery on similar problem way back when and had to reflash. but you should give it time. i hear u can be at android screen for up to 10 min on first boot.

    i was i had that guide 2 months ago..lol

    Boot Loops were always my least favorite cereal as a kid.

    I've always hated Apple Hacks too.
