Root Spoke Too Soon....bootloop'ed

[bigshotproducer]

So, rebooted after installing GBRooted zip. Now bootloop. Pulled batt. bootloops continue.

Tried holding home + power to get to stock recovery, but when the droid/triangle comes up and i push search....nothing....help?

there is a sticky at the top of the forums for the changes...

I believe I read that P3 said that you may bootloop a few times before you get in. I didn't. Keep trying it.

However, if it doesn't work, you'll have to sbf and start over. Make sure you have good battery life.

Here's the thing...In order to gain recovery from the new GB, you have to install a patch that's at mydroidworld.com. However, you can't even get in to recovery to do that, so you're in a catch 22.

If I were you, I'd re-sbf to .340. Root with z4root, install dx bootstrapper and try again. It wouldn't hurt to do a factory data reset from ClockworkMod when you get back in, before you flash GB pre-rooted.

Same exact thing happened to me. bootlooped twice so I did the stock recovery using the new volume button method, wiped data/cache and all went well after I rebooted the phone. I hate the feeling of bootlooping, but at least we can always SBF back to a stock file.
