Liberty Bootloop

So I attempted to install Liberty and I'm now stuck on the Liberty animation.

I pulled the battery, held down the camera button + volume down button then hit the power button.

Bootstrap came up saying:

Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB


It doesn't allow me to do anything afterwards.

What should I do now? :(

Thanks
 
I just did this:

While it shows the boot logo, ( after the liberty text where the motor logo used to be) remove the battery, and then reinsert. It should boot to bootstrapped. You will be able to nandroid from here. If you can't get there, you need to go back to the bootloader (where it says the loader info, and USB mode, ok to program.) And will need to Sbf.

w00t! I got my phone working again!

BUT! I have all the Liberty stuff going (background, icons, etc) but no toolbox, Rom Manager, nor the z4 icon, but i do have the Superuser icon. Does that mean I still have root? Or do I need to reinstall all that stuff?
 
Download the toolbox from the market.... its a newer version anyways... (1.0.2)


Superuser is also on the market for free, so get the latest and greatest. You do not need z4 root at all once you are rooted, so it's not an issue.

When stuck in a boot loop there is no need to boot into Bootloader like you did unless you plan on SBF the phone. You are not suppose to be able to do anything after you get into bootloader other then Flash the phone. You need to be in stock recovery. Hold down the HOME button while pwering on the phone. Let go of the power button when you see the screen turn on. That will get you to the stock recovery from there do a factory reset and it should clear up a boot loop for you.
 
app backups

You could also get titanium backup or appmonster and back all of your apps up that way. Then you can restore the ones that google doesn't reload.

If you have Superuser then most likely that does mean you have root on your phone. After the phone is rooted Z4 is not required to stay on the phone. Just download the toolbox and rom manager again. Download something that requires root and see if it works.
