Damn！Reboot again and again after flash the RADIO!

I flashed the new RADIO and SPL,but forgot to flash a new recovery in HBOOT model. The flash was totally succeed (because after fashing,I tap "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command in HBOOT and it could reboot automatically into hboot model and I can see the new RADIO and SPL had been fashed.
But here comes the problem, I try to reboot my phone into recovery model to flash the new ROM, but no matter I press HOME+POWER or BACK+POWER this time, it reboots again and again at first boot screen, and donnot have any response with the key I tapped!
God! is that bricked? No please don't tell me it's true!

so to clarify, you didn't flash a recovery image and now you don't know why you can't boot to recovery?
boot to fastboot, flash the recovery only, reboot to recovery, flash the rom of your choice and enjoy

Of course, but I cannot boot into fastboot or recovery model now.

*facepalm*
if you can't get into fastboot and you can't get into recovery you just bricked your phone.

while it's bootlooping, can you adb devices and tell us what you get?
i'm surprised that it's bricked because you forgot to flash a recovery, would have thought you could still access fastboot...

I was surprised too.
I don't know why,but I can boot into fastboot model now, but my recovery and rom are still broken.
So I tried to type "fastboot boot recovery.img" on my computer, so that I can enter recovery temporary, but here comes another trouble, it can't mount sdcard now! Display "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(No such file or directroy) E:Can't mount SDCARD
!"
So can I use adb shell to install a ROM???

calm down bro....
you didn't brick your phone...
i've same problem after I flashed the new radio SPL HBOOT and recovery...
I've used Hero Recovery...
after u flashed your handset with new radio SPL HBOOT and Recovery, the ROM file DELETED....
so, u just download new rom (that have SAME RADIO HBOOT and Recovery with your handset)
after finished the download, put the file into ROOT SDCard... and then flash it from your RECOVERY....
I've used HERO RECOVERY....
my handset is HTC MAGIC 32A
just do that, if the problem same with me....
BRAVO

better use last recovery.... (1.5.2 isn't last recovery)

I don't recall the OP mentioning what handset they have. If its the MyTouch 3G Limited Edition or 1.2 (has headphone jack on top) a new user to rooting may confuse that with a Magic 32A in which case your instructions without clarifying would surely brick his phone. (Though he's on Fido, so not likely to be a MyTouch, but he didn't even mention of it was a Magic, Hero, G1, or if it was a DVT board instead of a PVT)

You shouldn't offer instructions like this. You have no idea what phone he's using. You offer such a high risk of bricking the phone since most members here fail to read instructions before running a bunch of commands.
He's fido like the above guy said which could mean he's using a rogers magic, but it's also unlikely. Fido doesn't have Magic, so he definitely got it off someone. And since it's rootable (it is unlikely that he could get a hands on a rooted magic here since their lame update) it has a high chance that its from tmo or something which = 32B board.

my phone is htc magic with 32A and it's ENG S-ON so I can't flash a recovery through fastboot, so I have to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to use a recovery temporary just I said above. I do know that I can put a rom into a sdcard to flash it, but it can't mount sdcard now

Try waiting 30-60 seconds before accessing the SD card. Some recovery images take a while to mount the card.

who could help my G2 magic

A few days ago, a friend present a G2 magic to me, it could be used normally.
However, when i want to flash ROM, i found it could not supports SDCARD in system and in recovery mode, only in fastboot mode.
I got the information in fastboot mode:32B ENG S-ON H ; HBOOT-1.33.2010; CPLD-10; RADIO-3.22.20.17;
You know, it is so interesting, because i could not match the RUU in the list. I think 32B is wrong, because i downloaded the 1.6.2g.img recovery and flash in fastboot mode, it is fake. but 1.6.2h.img is right after i boot the recovery.
First of all, I want to edit S-ON to OFF, for i read some articles in much android BBS, once it will be OFF, the G2 could support SDCARD in recovery mode again and flash other ROM.
I made a goldcard and copy the 2.53.707.2 sappimg.zip in the SDCARD, in fastboot mode, the system rebuilded again. i could power on the phone normally, and it could not support SDCARD.
in adb shell and fastboot mode, i try again to cover orginal hboot with the signed hboot.img(spl-1.33.2010) to OFF, but i failed.
what shall i do? i am nearly crying now.

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
Good thing u reverted to stock SPL. Now the above option might not work.
the 32B is not wrong , the radio is. Flash a 2.xx.xx.xx radio and all will be well.

thanks eyegor
i followed your way, but it was failed. because it showed: signature verify fail.
In fastboot mode, input fastboot erase radio and fastboot flash radio radio.img
is it right?
i think the reason of verify fail is spl-ON.

Rogers G1 fastboot problem "not allow"

D - Installing an engineering SPL
This will install the engineering SPL and prepare the phone for a custom rom.
hold down the home key and boot into recovery
Choose Flash zip from sdcard
Choose 1_33_2005_spl.zip (this will stage the flash of the engineering SPL)
reboot as prompted at the bottom of the screen
The recovery will load up again do not be alarmed
run the adb command adb shell reboot bootloader (Note it may be a moment after the recovery screen appears before you can execute the command)
Verify the following:
HBOOT: 1.33.2005
RADIO: 3.22.26.17
run the following two fastboot commands (this will prevent issues flashing your rom)
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
powerdown
fastboot oem powerdown
Proceed to flash an EBI1 rom

So basically i have the DangerSPL and i want to isntall cyanogen mod 5+ on my Rogers G1
i get stuck at the fastboot part, no matter how i do it, it does not let me "fastboot erase system -w" it says "erasing system....... FAILED <remote: now allow>"
i already have the mod on the SD card and everything to go with it, but i stall at this step. any suggestions?
i am using the tutorials from wiki.cyanogenmod for POST 911 rogers dream and cyanogen 5+
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I think you didn't install the SPL correctly, from what i've read from other people with this problem.
Try re-installing the SPL/RADIO.

the SPL was installed correctly, according to the version number
kept trying over and over eventually it let me erase system -w
thank you

Xoom stuck on boot screen trying to restore ICS stock.

My xoom was running the latest ICS 4.04 (stachre modded recovery). I was attempting to revet it to stock, so I found a guide and followed these steps:
1. Download this file to your computer: HRI39.zip (you may have to register)
2. Extract the contents into your Android SDK Tools folder.
3. Open a command prompt from within your Android SDK Tools folder.
4. Type: adb reboot bootloader
5. Type: fastboot flash boot boot.img
6. Type: fastboot flash system system.img
7. Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
8. Type: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
9. Type: fastboot erase cache
10. Type: fastboot oem lock
11. Your XOOM will now re-lock and you should be ready for the update.
Everything flashed perfectly, but now when I reboot I'm stuck on the "Dual Core" splash screen. Any ideas? Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, I'm an idiot. This is what happens when you flash the recovery files for the Verizon Xoom and not the standard Wifi version.

try this
in your boot logo press vol up + power ---> restart your XOOM
after that (when Motorola logo DUAL CORE show up) quickly press vol down ---> enter recovery mode
just flash your ROM again after that reboot.
your xoom will be fine.
sorry my bad english...i hope this can help you

Make sure you clear the caches too i had the same problem and that fixed it
Sent from my Xoom using XDA

Same problem!!!
Hey guys, how could you fix it? I have the same problem....hope you can help me.

That's something good to know!

[Q] After erasing the recovery with fastboot my LG p350 don't start

Hello,
I have followed a tutorial for solving the problem of "Fastboot mode started
udc_start()" from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131247 and something was go wrong.
I have done this steps in the sdk platform tools folder:
1- fastboot erase recovery
2- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ( here i've got an error)
3- fastboot reboot
Everyting was ok until I have tried to write the .img file on the phone. I've got an error that I don't have enough space. I think I have deleted the recovery file and now it's stuck, because it's not booting. The 4 leds from the bottom it's flashing continuously and the screen remains to the LG logo. I have tried to connect the phone to the PC but the device it's not recognized anymore. I get this message in the adb tool "Waiting for device"
I really appreciate if it's someone that can help me

I have a p500 and I had the exact same problem as you. But I was able to fix it after a lot of Googling.
Can you get to fastboot right now? If so, make sure that the recovery you downloaded is correctly named "recovery.img" and is placed in the same folder as adb.exe is located. After that, type:
Code:
fastboot devices
into ADB. If your device is listed then proceed and type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If nothing comes up when you ask it to list fastboot devices you need to delete all of the drivers associated with your p350, and then reinstall them using a toolkit or PDAnet. Then go back and try fastboot devices again.

No, I can't get to fastboot. I can't do anything with the command line. It remains to the logo screen

Can you pull the battery and then use the combination to get into Fastboot? If you can't get to fastboot, then the problem is beyond what I'm capable of doing.
Though, the problem may be that you completely deleted your recovery.

That is incorrect. The recovery does NOT have to be named recovery to use fastboot to flash it, although it does make life simpler
