You can try wiping all the cache/data from the recovery menu

I agree w/jbroderick.. also an issue i've found recently is if it starts to loop, battery pull and pull the sd card.. for some reason that seems to help...hope you got it working..

i tried the sd card thing...nada. and i cant access recovery either. waaahhhhh!!!! any other suggestions?

At this point I would sbf back to stock and start over....
sent from D2G Angel V0.7.5

power off the phone. slide open the keyboard, press and hold X key, press and hold power, keep holding X key. You will go in stock recovery. Now press the magnifying glass key - a menu will appear. Perform data and cache clean, reboot the phone (from the menu).
If you are on GSM - it may help to take sim card out. Doesn't hurt to do at first boot anyways.
If nothing works - SBF back to stock and start over as suggested by abalsor
edit: to navigate around in stock recovery use arrows on the keyboard, ok to confirm and backspace to go back

thank you for your help!!!!!! however...
what does SBF mean, and how do i do it? i was able to get to stock recovery, however, the suggestions you made didnt work

It looks like a long process but its really not that bad... Here is the link w/the file you need and RSDLite v4.9....
a few things to remember....
1.)make sure the battery is fully charged
2.)this will bring you back to barebone stock...
3.)follow the prompts and you should be fine...
also the 2nd post from the link above has step by step instructions on how to do it.... takes about 10 or so mins.... I would have posted an XDA link just couldnt find it right now...
*edit - Here is the link on XDA SBF to stock D2G

[Q] Inspire stuck at HTC splash screen after loading new theme Rooted/Rom'd

Tonight I successfully rooted my phone using bubby's method and installed the Revolution ROM. I had no issues so figured I'd continue with a custom theme which was provided in this post .
I simply, copied the Desolution_1.2.2.zip to the root of the SD card. Started up in recovery mode using Clockwork and installed zip from SD Card. Now, I'm stuck at the HTC splash screen and I can't turn the phone off or bring up CWR.
Is the problem I'm having also known as black screened? Should I be using these posts as resolutions?

Additionally, I pressed vol up/down +power to do a hard reset but the phone is not loading in recovery. Pressing power + vol down is not loading bootloader either. Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology, I'm new to this.
Pull the battery, reboot to Clockwork(power+vol dn, select recovery w/ pwr button after it goes through the PD98 checks), wipe data-factory reset and reflash your rom. If that get's you back up and running, nandroid your config then try again. If it fails again, you can restore from nandroid and get with the dev about your issue.
You might also wanna re-dl that zip prior to trying again as it may be corrupt
Don't forget to always check the compatibilty of the theme with the Rom. Some roms and themes don't play well together.

Thank you for the response.
However, after removing/replacing the battery I am unable to access clockwork by holding vol down and the power button. It just boots up to the htc screen.
Is it about time to use the Ace hackkit? If so can someone direct me to the manual? I believe v11 is the most current version.
Quick update. I am able to access hboot by removing the battery and holding vol down on startup. However, I am unable to scroll down to recovery, it automatically starts searching for PD98DIAG.zip file. At the end it asks if I want to update and I've just been saying no. Once the device reboots it goes straight back to the HTC splash screen. I try to repeat the process to access recovery but once again I'm unable to scroll down to recovery.
You have to get the PD98 off your sd card then it will let you select recovery.
Thanks, I went ahead and did that. Now I'm able to access recovery. Looking up steps on what to do now. Heh
I flashed the revolution ROM again and now I'm back up and running. Not sure what it was about that theme that messed everything up but I'm staying far away from it now. Thanks to everyone who helped
need help asap
okay so i have the same problume cant get into recovery mode and i get the htc splash screen,any help will be gr8 thanks in advance

If I am not wrong, buby´s method uses a froyo RUU, so if your phone was shipped with Gingerbread, then you have messed your bootloader....you need to fix that.

[Q] I Think I KIlled MY G2X HELP!!

I was Removing Tmobiles built in Apps when I acidently deleted the telephony apk. I rebooted to see if the the devide would restore the file then it began to boot loop. i pulled the battery like three times then i tried to power on using both volume buttons and power and the device never turned back on. Is there a way to fix it? Please anyone who knows something can you help?
Try resetting your device. Turn it off then turn it on and keep the volume down button pressed.
The phone wont turn on now
Take out battery, hold both volume buttons down and plug usb cable in

About 47 minutes, until your screen rapidly starts changing colors.
first off wrong section.
not sure if it works with this works with this phone but you can try oden.
you will have to find a oden flashable rom and boot your phone into download mode.
or you could put your phone in a microwave for 10 secs and take it back to the store and tell them it wont work. they will replace it as long as the water meters arent red.
Look at the post for one click installing clockwork mod and do that. Then find the post with the stock nandroid (or eagleblood) download it either put the files on sd via a reader or boot to recovery and use adb push to get the files on the sd card.
Then wipe the data and cache and apply the new rom. That should work. Don't use Odin as that's only for Samsung phones.

Do you have clockwork recovery installed via nvflash? If not, you need to do that, then download the stock rooted backed that is posted in the development thread...Once you do that, download SuperOneClick and unroot your phone, you should not be messing with this stuff if you don't know what your're doing...After that, check out the stickies in the G2x forums and read the rules about what should and should not be posted in the each of the forums.
sorry about the miss posting never posted before and thanks for the help.
still no success i cant get the phone to stay in recovery to flash nvflash im pressing power and down volume but the phone reboots and begins to boot loop again
You don't go into recovery to flash nvflash. You hold down the volume buttons while plugging it into usb with the battery removed. Search for the thread on one click nvflash.

[Q] CM7 Not Going Beyond Loading Screen AND Clockworkmod Is Black

A couple of weeks ago I decided to root my phone for the benefits it came with. I did so successfully and had no problems until I decided I'd let my curiosity get the better of me and try flashing CM7 onto my phone. I did so, and everything seemed successful, but I got stuck in a boot loop when I turned on the phone.
I know there are solutions to this, but they all involve either CWM or ADB. Just two problems: I can't use ADB because I forgot to leave USB Debugging on, and I can't seem to get CWM to do anything (it's just a black screen).
There are solutions to all of these problems individually, I know, but each solution relies on at least one of the others to be working. I've been surfing this forum and others like it hoping that someone else would have this problem and would have a solution for me, but I've come up dry.
I used attn1's Ace Hack to root my phone, and then I used Rom Manager to install CM7. Then I hit the loop. Also, my CWM was working prior to CM7.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thank you in advance,
JW
Inspire 4g
P.S. - I'm new to this forum and don't really know the rules perfectly, so if I did something wrong, then please just let me know what I did and what I should've done. Thank you.
But you can still get in hboot right?
It sounds like you did not choose to wipe data and cache. You always need to do this when changing roms. Best way is to enter cwm yourself and select wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik then flash Rom.
Pull you battery for a little bit then try and get into recovery again. If you still can't get in then you will have to reflash your recovery through bootloader.
If all else fails you can use the tool in this link to return to stock. Then re root you phone. genes tool

No, I didn't think to. To be honest, I saw Rom Manager and thought I would just be able to click on what I wanted and have it ready to play with in a few minutes. I never read what to do before the installation, which was my huge mistake.
Anyhow, I don't think I can get into HBoot. When I turn the phone on with power button and volume button, it vibrates three times, but then it goes to a black screen. I read about this problem with CWM, but the only solutions I saw involved getting into your phone - which I can't do.
So I'm wondering if CWM still works but that it just doesn't show what it's doing. If that's the case, then maybe I could still manage to fix my phone with CWM. Does anyone know if such is the case?
Thank you!

Sounds like you're holding the vol+ button. You need to be holding vol- when you press power to get to HBOOT. From there you can get into Recovery.

this is correct, but you may want to pull out your sd card first. if it still has the pd98img on there,,, its just gonna loop ya. so pull it out before trying, you can always stick it back in once you get to recovery, then select mount> sd card
GOOD LUCK!!

Pull the battery and go HERE.
Make sure you do the "Replace" step mentioned at the bottom of the "HOW TO FLASH A FXZ" section if you were on a 2.3.6 based ROM.
Also, did you have enough battery left (say, around 60-70% to be safe) when this happened? If not, plug it in the wall charger for a while first.
Good luck!
What ROM did you flash? You might need to wipe data/factory reset. Boot up by holding the volume buttons and the power button, then use the volume up button to boot into recovery. Once you see the exclamation mark, press both volume buttons. Then use volume down to scroll to "factory reset" and use the power button to select it.
5:53 guy: i tried to flash the ICS CM9 that they had in the development forum
5:47 guy: i went to the post and went to the fastboot section, but the links provided were either broken or didnt contain the FXZ file. If this help any this is what happened. i backed up my stock rom using the cwm recovery and then when that was succesful, i downloaded the cm9 (but i it was for the droid 3 not the atrix 2 because thats what they said to download in the forum).i wiped all the data cahce and dalvik info. (data x3 , cache and dalvik x1) then i went into "install from zip" and i choose the file they gave me. it finished, i selected reboot the phone, and now im here in a soft boot. CURSE YOU CM9 FOR DROID 3 #lol.
thanks though.
ZOMG! i finally got it using THIS ONE CLICK METHOD! I wish i could remember what forum i got this outta of cause i would give that user a million thanks.

im pretty sure that ive never been able to get into recovery, even when i had factory restored my phone. when i do the recovery start method (hold volume down and power) it tends to just cycle through the LG symbol to a box with an arrow pointing out to a little android man. which then loops around to the LG symbol again. any time i do this, it just eventually normal starts my phone, which puts the eagles blood symbol, then the phone shuts down.
When the little android appears, you must press menu button (on the left), one time only. If you wait or you press many times, the phone will reboot normally and will skip the recovery mode.

yeah when i click the menu button, (and i am assuming that the one you are referring to is the menu button on the actual phone) it doesnt even register that i click it, and continues to try and boot normally
is there a way for me to just unroot/ or revert back to the old way my phone was?
FIXED
UPDATE :
Thanks for all your help guys i finally figured out what went wrong.
1: firstly i used the incorrect method of flashing the recovery on my phone (i did it through clockwerk, and if you did this your screwed pretty much)
2: i did not have the gapps on my sd card when i ran the ice cream sandwich install.
i used this method to force flash the recovery on my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
then i repeated the correct process on the ICS website, (this time with the gapps on my sd card)
The ICS rom is now running full force and i love every bit of it (though i feel like a caveman with a stick) and i am having fun re-discovering my phone
much love and thanks
