Root Slight Problem with SBF...help??

Ok, was just running through the SBF process...seemed to be working fine...

got through and said that the phone was rebooting...it got to 100% and was up and running...

Now RSDLite says...

Status: Please manually powerup this phone
Progress: Executed 100%
Result: In Process


However, there is a slight problem...the phone booted up and was loading up all the home screen stuff...well..the screen turned off on me...and i hit the home key to wake it back up and now i have a phone that is stuck with the screen like halfway on...its on, but every dim, and it seems to be frozen...

i REALLY don't want to pull the battery and risk totally screwing the SBF process...
 
Once the phone completely reboots and you see your home screens or Droid eye... the sbf is finished. Just unplug the usb and reboot it.

alrighty then...

and btw...the phone was apparently not totally frozen...as when i unplugged the USB the USB icon disappeared from the notification bar but i had no control over the phone...

however...i think something is wrong with the process...when it rebooted...i started getting all sorts of FC's (Gmail, Media) etc...it didnt ask me to setup my accounts or anything...its weird...
 
I've had it do that before.
Boot into stock recovery (battery out. Battery in. Power + home, let go of power when you see the M icon. then hit Search when you see the Triangle)
Wipe data / cache.

Then reboot and see if it is a clean install.

it won't wipe data...i choose it and the screen just flashes and resets...its weird...im gonna try SBFing again...

after booting though...i had a black wallpaper, got the gmail and media FC...phone was on, but extremely unresponsive...
 
Update: Apparently my camera button was being a little bit sensitive and when i pushed it it was automatically clicking twice, and selecting "No" for the data wipe, that is why the screen was just flashing and resetting and not letting me data wipe...its rebooting now...

Update #2: AHHH the green android guy!...

yeah, in the stock recovery, the first "click" when pressing it in is all it needs
if you press the button ALL the way in it actually cycles into the wipe screen but then the second "click" of a full press is like clicking on the "no" part
so only press it in until the first click

yeah...it was one of those smack your forehead moments like when it took me an hour to figure out that the "squiggly lines" in Ginger were for vibrate, or that they changed the buttons in stock recovery for Ginger :eek:
