All,

I rooted. Installed bootstrap and made a nandroid backup. I installed the new Axi0m ICS ROM. All went well. I followed instructions. Got phone up and working.

Was showing off to a friend. Phone frooze so I pulled the battery. and now all it does is bootloop. How do I get back into custom recovery to run a nandroid restore?

I used the hold both volume buttons and power on, went into recovery, press both vol keys and was able to delete cache and format and still bootloops.

Do I have to start all over?

This sucks! ;) but it happens. Everything was working fine!

You might have to download the 902 fxz file and use rsd lite to return your phone back to stock. Maybe someone else has a better solution though. It's recommended you only use safestrap when installing the ics roms. So when you get your phone up and running again i suggest you get rid of bootstrapper and install safestrap if you're going to be flashing ics roms. What were you doing when the phone froze? you said you deleted cache and formatted, did you try wiping data too? Also if by format you mean you formatted the system i don't think you should've done that but im not 100% on that.

I was trying to open youtube and it frooze. Wouldn't power off with button so I pulled the battery.

I did this after messing with phone a couple of times.

both vol keys> recovery>both vol keys>wipedata/facreset>wipe cache partition>reboot>bootloop

I'm willing to try anything at this point. I can still charge my phone though. So I am charing to 100% than I guess RSD'ing it.

Great advice man.
