i used bootstrap to install BW rom, set it up then used bootstrap to reboot into recovery and flash Blue Black widow theme, rebooted and am stuck on the splash screen ...... and help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance.

what did you wipe before you flashed?

[bilbobaggins]

because it looks like you wiped something you shouldn't have or didn't wipe something you should have.

If you did the steps in the order you listed, you erased your /system after you installed the ROM. If you format /system, you have to install a ROM afterwards, not before. For all intents and purposes the "ROM" is the /system partition on these phones with locked bootloaders.

Edit: Re-read all of the posts and maybe I was too quick. Looks like you did have a working ROM and then flashed the theme with only a cache and dalvik wipe. If that's the case, then I'm not sure what happened.

Shouldn't have formatted system for a theme. You got no system now dude.

Need to fastboot back to 174/181 using Matt's utility then start over. Just wipe CACHE ONLY when installing a theme on top of a ROM

what i was saying was that i only formatted sytem before i installed the rom, while installing the theme all i did was wipe cach and dalvic.

Either way, I think your best alternative at this point is probably to do what _base2 said and use Matt's utility to flash back and start over.

[superrelaxx]

Good luck bro. If you only did a cache wipe for installing the theme it was possible you got a bad download, although bad downloads usually don't flash but it does occasionally happen

If you're battery gets too low shut the phone completely down ad you can recharge it with your wall charger. get it ro 70% minimum or you may not have enough power to complete the reflash.

[lthelwpn]

Says data cable connected and i ran option 1 in the utility and nothing happens.....Says system cant find specified ...... Any help would be great.

Are you on an ICS leak? If yes, which one?

[ what path? ]

[lthelwpn]

BW rom ICS, its 404, its not the leak , he has on the other rom.

It sounds like you didn't extract the utility properly. You need to completely extract it then run it from within the extracted folder. That will ensure that all the files can be found.

If that doesn't do the trick let us know
