I have a rooted g2x, and flashed recovery through Rom Manager. I tried starting the phone with Power and Volume Down, and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. What can I do?
Thanks in advanced for your help!!!
Did you make a backup while your were in recovery? If you did try flashing that. If that doesnt work do a factory reset.
I did make a backup, but how can I get in to recovery now to restore my backup?
Is it okay to factory reset at this point?

you need to set up nvflash and after that is set up you need to flash back to stock firmware
Did you do a nvflash which has been suggested by the devs here or did you do a fakeflash thru rom manager.

use this thread do the nvflash and then boot into recovery, no more easy ways out people... even then this is the easy way compared to the old days with the G1.

I installed clockwork and flashed the recovery, but I accidentally freaking factory reseted my phone by holding vol down + power. How do you boot into clockwork when the phone is turned off? I heard the NvFlash method is necessary but I'm on a Mac.

Unfortunately they don't. I have a mac and was forced to do it through Fusion.
Anybody know how to enter stock recovery? button combination?
Ive tried power on plus up, and power on plus down. I would just flash CWM and make it easy, but i might be returning the phone to tmobile for my screen bleed soon and want the phone to remain stock for now.
SO anyone know how to get into stock recovery?
On the dev forum there's an image of the stock recovery. Sorry i'm on the phone
why? what are you trying to do? if you never flashed cwm, vol. down and power will do a factory reset. as of now, there is no way to enter the stck recovery. just a factory reset.

Not true.
I posted a way to get to stock recovery
Download rom manager
Go to settings, SD and phone storage then unmount phone storage
Now
Go to rom manager and reboot into recovery then it takes you to a screen when you hit home and it shows the blue stock recovery screen....
Not sure how to make selections though

How far into the process does it get? Can you get it into it to wipe and factory reset? If it's boot looping then try wiping after flash.

If your phone connects to Odin then it's a good sign.
Download stock Rom from link and make sure to check md5 for match.
Only flash if the md5 matches.
...make sure the appropriate boxes are checked (and unchecked) in Odin before flash.
Wait! Untill you see the green pass on Odin after flashing before disconnecting the phone. Phone may hang with first reboot. Pull out the battery and reboot a second time

Yeah, you have to make sure you factory reset when setting it back to stock. It will put you into a bootloop or hang on boot if you don't.
To get into recovery to factory reset press 'Volume Up' + 'Home' + 'Power' and hold it until youre in recovery.
Hey all, i wiped my system in TWRP recovery and when i hold power, home, and vol down, i get to the TWRP splash screen but then i reboot. Any suggestions?
bump please help
So it will not boot into TWRP fully? How many times have you tried cuz if you rebooted accidentally after wiping system (I've done this), it takes a few tries.
Alternatively, you could Odin flash TWRP (file is in Open1your1eyes0 root thread) and try booting into TWRP then. This increments your flash counter.

No problem. You're saying its booting to the TWRP logo or booting to the Samsung logo? Just wanted to clarify.
Also, hold: power, home, and volume then once it boots release the power button. That seems to be the only way I can cold boot into recovery.

Yeah i hold home, power, and vol down, then it goes Samsung screen > Samsung Galaxy SIII screen > blue TWRP splash screen > reboot to system and freezes. And another thing, if i odin flash this TWRP, will it wipe internal storage by any chance? Its happened one too many times to me

Hmm, weird. What were you doing before which led to this?
Nope, it doesn't wipe internal storage. Just overwrites your recovery partition. When Odin reboots your phone, pull the battery then try booting straight to TWRP. If you still can't boot into recovery try the same steps but flash CWM, flash a rom, and then reinstall TWRP via GooManager.

Just flashed it and it still wouldn't fully boot TWRP. I'm about to try CWM now. What happened was i came from LiquidSmooth AOSP and I was ready to flash Hyperdrive Touchwiz so I wiped all the partitions and flashed the zip. The Aroma Installer froze before it started so i battery pulled and figured I'd retry. It wouldn't boot and now I'm where I am now.

I hosed my nexus 5 trying to root it. I can get to the bootloader and recovery but when I try to use adb twrp says it failed. I have tried using a couple of different tools to get it back to stock but they reboot from the bootloader and it stops at the boot up screen and never goes any further. I really hope i can fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried flashing the factory image?

Do you mean that after a succesfull flash of the factory image in fastboot it will not boot and you`re stuck on the bootscreen? If so go into fastboot, go to recovery and wipe the caches and data factory reset and reboot.
I tried just tried to boot into recovery from the bootloader after flashing and got a android screen with a red triangle.

Press the power key and right after that volume up to get into recovery.
OK I was able to get into recovery. Did a factory reset and restarted and I am still stuck at the bootscreen.
