Help black screen after the "m"

M

MICKKKYYY

Lurker
i have a rooted droid. i recently tried to download the custom rom smokedglass, on rom manager. when the installation was complete and it was turning on, after the "m" in motorola it turns into a black screen... pls help!!! btw im 14 so dont go all fancy in words
 
First off, did you make a back-up???? If so, pull the battery and reinstall it. hold the "X" button on the keyboard and power on the phone. keep the X pressed till you see the "M" that shoul get you into recovery. using the volume up/down keys to move, and the camera button to select. and the power button to "go back" select "wipe data/factory reset" select yes. after that is done select "Backup and Restore" > "Restore" select the backup you wish to go to and let it do its thing. when its done it will say "Restore complete" hit the power button till you have "Reboot system now" in the top position of the menu and select it. that should get you back to where you were before.

Edit: just noticed, are you sure you chose a Smoked Glass Rom or was it a Smoked Glass Theme?? there is a big difference. Themes are writen for specific rom most of the time and will cause issues like you have when applied to an incompatable ROM. just wondering.

i thought that i did a backup, but when i go to the recovery all it says:
Android system recovery <3e>

Use d-pad to highlight: center to select.

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory resete
wipe cache partition
wipe baseband data

all is in purplish letters.
all i remember the rom manager said was smokedglassRC something something something...
 
Ok, sounds like you lost your customer recovery. hmmm. well you could try this..... go here >> http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/254605-update-2-3-340-easily.html and download Materstocks file to the root of your SD card and rename it just "update.zip" and go into recovery and apply update.zip. if you have no mean of getting the file onto you SD card, you will have to use RSD Lite and an SBF file. find the SBF and instructions in here. http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...oot-guide-updated-feb-28-5-10-pm-eastern.html
