I can no longer get into clockwork recovery...

I am on brainmasters miui rom, and whenever I try to go into recovery the phone just gets stuck on the Google logo and doesn't move, forcing me to pull the battery. I have tried reflashing the recovery numerous times and idk what to do from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

reflash recovery. did you flash recovery through rom manager the first time? flash recovery through fastboot.

I also made the experience that flashing recovery through rom manager doesn't always work...had the same problem, also using brainmaster's MIUI rom.

Check the rooting guides for the directions.

I tried looking for directions on how to do it and for some reason I can't seem to find them.

I got the same problem after flashing the Clockworkmod 5.0. Then I flashed the 4.0x version (found in the rooting guide on XDA) and it's now working smoothly

You should make sure you are erasing the old recovery before flashing a new one. This can be done as a fastboot command or through the advanced options in rom manager.

[Q] Completely awkward behaving Nexus S

I just bought this phone yesterday and it is the i9020t (AWS version). The phone function works fine but every so often every application fails and gives an error asking to report it. I cannot manage to change the screen lock, it just comes back after reset. I only managed to remove it once. Also I cannot reset it no matter what I do, whether it is from settings or from the recovery menu. All data seems impossible to remove. How is this happening?
So Far:
-I got the boot loader unlocked (does this mean it is rooted yet?), failed to install superboot.zip
-Got the adb setup with using only part of the sdk files
(http://esausilva.com/2010/10/02/how-to-set-up-adb-android-debug-bridge-in-mac-osx/)
Now I have tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
I can't get clockworkmod on here, I don't even know what it is exactly.
I believe I need to flash the phone onto stock firmware, the current seems corrupt as I can't do any changes such as password or wipe data.
More info on phone:
Android version: 2.3.4; Baseband version: I9020XXKD1; Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-ge382d80 [email protected]#1; Build number: GRJ22;
BTW I am on Mac OS X but can access a PC if I really have to.
Anything else I need to provide?

Doesn't sound like an odd behaving phone, just that you weren't very prepared for the rooting process.
If your bootloader is unlocked you need to flash a custom recovery such as clockworkmod or twrp. To do this you will use the fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img after you have flashed the recovery you can either flash a new rom or flash the superuser.zip to achieve root on the stock rom.

It was a messed up phone. Returned it. Nothing would write onto sdcard. Which explains why it would not allow many functions that require data retention.

Help Needed Bricked HTC One X

First off I'm very new to everything Andriod coming from iPhone for the last 4 years.
I'm in a very simular problem to ORStoner who posted a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624431
I have tried everything that people suggested to this user but I'm still locked on the HTC screen.
So I unlock the bootloader which was a success then I flashed clockwork recovery which went well. However then I flashed a zip that I got from this site http://www.guidingtech.com/10821/disable-3-three-dot-menu-htc-one-x-map-to-task-switcher-button/
I went through all the instructions but knowing me probably screwed up somewhere.
My Clockwork version is recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru
any ideas because I feel lost with no phone.
Thanks

By anychance did you make a nanroid backup from clockwork before you flashed? Also did you also wipe everything like cache,dalvik-cache,data,system,sd-android secure,you gotta make sure you DONT WIPE YOUR SD card.

Unfortunately I was stupid enough NOT to back up, rookie mistake!!!. I have cleared all Cache including dalvik. No luck, So frustrating.

I just read the last part of your post, I did wipe the SD. I need the original files to flash any idea where i can get them?

Download a rom update utility (ruu) from
Forum. Flash stock recovery (you can find in modacos thread. ) Relock bootloader using fastboot oem lock. Start ruu and follow the directions. You can unlock bootloader again later.

(sorry of the non-hyperlink, I'm not allowed)

You have everything you need. If you're rooted, unlock the bootloader using the app you have, flash the non-touch cwr 6.0.1 or 6.0.2 using the ez recovery app or rom manager, then download cm10 and appropriate latest jelly bean gapps, boot into recovery from rom manager or pull battery hold volume up+home +power. From there, do a nandroid backup first, then wipe data, cache, system, and dalvick. Now flash your cm10 or any other rom, then your gapps, profit.
Edit: no over the air updates should be accepted or you can brick that shiny phone.
The whole process is much simpler now that the bootloader is unlocked.

Depends if you're on an AOSP based rom. If so, you'll need to flash a stock kernel and a full wipe is also necessary. Otherwise you should pretty much just be able to dirty flash over any stock based roms.
No, it won't relock the bootloader. That's a separate process.

[Q] ******Please help I bricked my N5******

Hi guys,
I have recently rooted my device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod), after 2 days there was an update for CM. Update was installed perfectly but then after the reboot "settings" on the phone stopped working. closed unfortunately. I went into recovery mode to flash the previous ROM. I am using "TWRP" recovery tool. This where I have done the blunder, I have wiped the system data and all of it. At the moment phone doesnt have any ROM to boot on. Please suggest me to how to flash the factory ROM or any other ROM. Can't really do anything as the phone wont boot up in regular mode (GOOGLE) thats all.

Can you sideload in TWRP?' It's even faster than pushing for the unpatient folk like me. lol
And yeah jd I still have the Rocket.

that was his first and only post, i bet he wont be back. sounds like a root toolkit child.

How?
Having said that I cannot detect the phone in the PC, how can i put the ROM in a folder?

Guess what? He's back!

Use this guide to setup fastboot. Then download the factory image to your computer. Use fastboot to install it and any other future roms.

My friend, you don't use fastboot to flash "ROMs".

Sorry woke up 5min before writing that. Running on 4hrs sleep now. Meant use fastboot to install stock image, flash a recovery. Then use custom recovery to flash future roms. Just pointing him in the right direction. With a little reading, he'll figure it out.
