Assistance! ROM and Recovery both won't boot!

I was trying to install EagleBlood ROM to run Gingerbread on G2x, and followed all instuctions, installing ROM manager, using that to flash to their recovery, then deleting caches, then flashing the ROM. After a reboot, EagleBlood is stuck on a bootloop, displaying an image of and android surrounded by a sparkly blue circle. If I take out the battery and then try to boot into recovery, the recovery image is displayed for a while, but then resets and goes back to rebooting without opening recovery. I am very scared that I may have bricked my brand new phone and do not want to pay for a repair. Any help is very much appreciated.

I would suggest that you NVflash clockworkmod by reading the thread here. Once you do that, you can access your recovery via volume down and power. If you do not have CWM installed via NVflash, for now, you should be able to reset everything by pressing the volume down and power to restore your phone to a factory state.

Thank you very much for that tool! Booted up the recovery and am currently recovering from earlier today on the stock ROM. If this is my last post, it was a success!

Now, when you install a rom through CWM, i would suggest wiping data (if you are switching between roms) and cache. This will prevent you from going into bootloops. I would also suggest after flashing a new rom, going into CWM > Advanced > Fix Permissions. You should now be golden.

[Q] Flashed stock, still boot loop

I was running Cyanogenmod9 on my SGH-I727R when I got into a bootloop. I reflashed stock Rogers Rom and still stuck in a boot loop. Any help please?

Can you please be more specific?
What screen are you exactly getting, the boot logo then a reboot? are you getting a recovery screen or do you bootloop not into the system but into ClockworkMod recovery?

The boot boot logo then restart. same thing with the stock rom it would boot into the Rogers logo then restart

Have you tried formatting through recovery? formatting can be found in mounts and storage.

yup, when I get back home I'll see if I can darkside wipe. see if that will help

That should help a lot. It should definitely work, make sure you install a Custom ROM and not a Stock ROM.
Make sure in future situations you don't install a stock ROM if your current ROM is a custom ROM, this can cause problems and will not fix problems. If you want to revert back to Stock ROMs after installing a Custom ROM I highly recommend you use Fastboot to flash the image. However there are tutorials and instructions on how to use Fastboot efficiently and properly so you don't mess anything up.
Cheers

Thanks again, darkside wipe worked. I have no clue what bricked it in the first place though

No problem Wiping everything would've worked too lol!

[HELP] Soft Bricked

Stuck on the green nvidia loading screen.
Tried ChainPro 3D, loading CF3D, rebooted and is now stuck in reboot mode.
Also put the recovery on there but didn't work. What am I missing?

I've tried doing my own research but there is no tutorial or anything on how to handle this situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:

If you flashed cwm just boot to recovery and flash the stock rom or any custom shield rom. Check the android dev section for prospects. You can also first try Wiping data cache and dalvik in cwm in hopes it's not related to the Chainfire driver.

[Q] Trapped on my Infuse 4G's CWM boot recovery screen.

Okay, so I'm not stuck in some sort of infinite loop here with my Infuse, it will show the Samsung logo, then the Samsung logo with the Cyanogen Mod logo, then CWM Boot Recovery. the thing is, that is all I can do. I have tried rebooting several times, tried to install various ROMs and flavors I have, all installations seem to fail, I have tried wiping and clearing and all that jazz, but I cannot seem to get it to install to anything. Recovery doesn't seem to be working either.
Does anyone know what I should do? I have Odin, but since I still have access to CWM on the device, I thought it might be better to get some more opinions before I totally wipe my everything with a fresh rom.

Maybe help

I run into something the last few times. There may be a problem with you losing root. I tried to install the last CM11, and it kept ending in the error 7 thing. Try this. Do the reset thing in cwm, then partition and then dalvic. Take the battery out, and restart it into cwm (hold both volume keys and press power. Then start all over and do the reset, partition, and dalvik thing again, and then try to install rom. Hope it helps.

Can you see Cid on the booting screen or CyanogenMod 4.x.x flashing on the booting screen only without Samsung logo? And can you boot to recovery? Are u on kitkat? I think it's a Gapps problem! Use Paranoid Gapps mini modular!
If so I had a similar problem some time ago. Was about to smack the phone on the wall as it remained on the booting load screen! But I removed battery every time it blocked (about 7 times) and reboot! Took battery out again and left the phone off about 4 hours. Remember to charge if you think necessary. Switched on and after 5 minutes loading (yeah it's long), it finally booted successfully!
If doesn't work, do a dirty flash, i.e, go to recovery, flash same or a newer ROM. back, back, Reboot device. If stuck or error 7 appears on recovery screen, reboot to recovery again and flash ROM again, followed by gapps(I seriously recommend using MINI MODULAR PA paranoid GAPPS), and reboot device. If boot is successful, consider doing a Wipe Dalvik Cache. This should not delete any files!
If nothing works, I guess Odin back to Stock

[Q] Stuck in recovery loop, LG Spectrum

Phone: LG Spectrum
ROM: Cyanogen 10.1 3 or something
CWM: 6.0.4.7
I was in the process of manually installing CWM Touch via Rashr Flash Tool to replace an old 6.0.1.1 non-touch version i had on it before, and when I successfully got it installed, the app asked if I wanted to reboot into recovery. So I pressed yes, and it did.
Unfortunately, it never seemed to remove it afterwards because after every single reboot, it kept going back to recovery, not loading the android OS.
I've tried the following with no success:
Clearing data factory reset
Clearing cache
Clearing Dalvik cache
Full restore to V6 stock
Full restore to Cyanogen (I made a backup when I first got to CWM Touch)
This is the current behavior of my phone:
When powered on, it will display the LG logo, then it will flicker to black and then fade in the LG logo again, 5 seconds later recovery boots. If phone was off and you insert USB cable to charge, the LG logo appears, but the battery mode sort of screen never comes after. Its just stays at the LG logo, and never turns off the display.
It will keep rebooting to recovery no matter if I even tell the recovery to reboot to bootloader.
I don't know exactly how the bootup structure is for androids but the only thing I can think of that may be the issue is the recovery itself if it wasn't the app that caused this. It just doesn't make sense that after a full restore, it would still have an issue, other than the recovery itself, UNLESS there is some secret boot instruction file that's stuck with a "Reboot_to_Recovery = 1" parameter.
Since this thing is stuck in a recovery boot, how would I be able to manually, without OS access, reflash another version of CWM on the device? Or if there's another possible way to fix this, please help me.

Maybe the ROM hasn't flashed on your phone properly .try again with a clean flash. may help
HiT Thank$ If HelPed

I believe this is independent of the ROM. I had noticed in preparing to flash a new ROM that instead of restarting to the OS, it restarted to the recovery. I didn't take much note of this, but it was clear that this problem began when I flashed the new recovery. Also, the fact that I had used 2 seperate, very different restores (full restores) with no success means that it couldn't have been the ROM.
My only probably clue right now is that the recovery is to blame (which is weird since CWM notes 6.0.4.7 as compatible with LG Spectrum. I had 6.0.1.1 before with no issue). I have no idea how to change this recovery however, given that I can't even boot the OS at all, and there doesn't seem to be a "flash recovery' option in recovery (which is kinda annoying).
