Hi All,
I think my phone may be done for, but I wanted to ask all of you first. It all started when I booted up my phone, and it went into Stock GB and before I could do anything at all, everything started force closing (i.e. twlauncher, clock, 10 other things etc.) basically the entire OS and the phone would reboot and then again same problem. Sometimes it would get stuck on the ATT "Rethink Possible" screen for a while, and then immediately it would get to the Your phone is locked screen, and everything would be force closing again. I booted up into recovery mode and wiped user data and cache. Nothing. So then I decided to re load the firmware using jscott's completely stock rom. I used ODIN with PIT, PDA, and Phone and let it do its thing. PASS. Once again, phone did the SAME thing over and over. I then thought let me try either a custom ROM or rooted stock GB. I used jscott's "I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex.rar" and used ODIN. PASS. Cleared user data, cache, dalvik. Tried to boot. Still SAME problem. Then I thought maybe I could load ICS Custom ROM and fix the issue (a stretch I know, but no idea what else to do). So, I used ADB to push "Infinitum" ICS ROM to the /sdcard Booted to CWM Recovery and installed the zip. The phone rebooted with the blue android logo and then once again, got to the welcome screen and everything started force closing and the phone rebooted.
Am I just out of luck? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
