I recently rooted my device with no problems and tried to flash a custom rom (cyanogenmod 9) which was working on twrp recovery so i switched to cwm and it worked but the google apps didnt boot with it for some reason, so now im stuck on a custom rom without anyway to get apps on there and my backup for cwm is corrupt so i cant restore back to regular, if anyone knows how to fix this or can give a me backup so i can get google apps back that would be awesome

I tried installing xionia custom recovery with an ez installer but it didn't install xionia and it seems like it uninstalled my stock recovery or it really messed it up. When booting into recovery phone won't go past the LG logo. I have tried everything I can think of to try to install a few different recoveries that I have found that work with this phone including stock recovery but nothing is working. Maybe a setting is preventing my phone from going into recovery? I have no idea and I don't know what else I can do to get a nandroid backup. I am dying to get rid of this sprint crap cuz this phone hardly has any space as it is and I have to keep uninstalling apps so I can receive text messages cuz it's so full.
I'm not sure if there's anything else I can try, after trying to install the recoveries I have found- xionia, amon ra, stock recovery, and one other I can't remember the name, I've tried installing them all through android terminal, from my computer using adb shell, and I have even tried different one click tools. I have unrooted and re-rooted my phone and I have uninstalled alot of apps so I'd have more space for recoery incase that was a problem but nothing has worked.
If anyone can think of anything else I'd appreciate your suggestions!
the only reason why you would need a recovery is if you want to flash a custom rom. if you only want to uninstall the bloatware, just use root uninstaller or titanium backup.
now if you just want a custom recovery, try this. if that doesnt work, post what happened earlier (step by step)
Thanks sweetnsour for replying, I gave up for a little while cuz it seemed I had tried everything and i was getting real annoyed cuz it seemed nothing was working. I tried installing the recovery you mentioned but it didn't work either but I think I figured out what my problem was, IDK if there's supposed to be a minimum amount of space on your phone when you flash recoveries, I assumed when you uninstall the stock recovery that'd make room for the new one. I finally got xionia to install after I uninstalled a bunch of apps and got a new sd card. There was virutually no space on my phone or sd card so maybe that was the problem when I was trying to install the recoveries before cuz it uninstalled the stock recovery but then I couldn't get any of the custom recoveries installed and then I finally made some room on my phone and got a new sd card and it finally worked. Hopefuly this can help anyone else who happens to have this problem. I can't wait to see what's up with all of these custom roms now!
Hi guys I really hope someone can help me with this. I was running CM7 Nightly rom and decided to try and flash eaglesblood 2.3.5 and it flashed ok but the problem is that when I tried restoring my back-up on it I get an clockworkmod recovery error. Any Ideas?
what does the error say?
most likely it was a bad backup and slim chance of restoration
did u do a full wipe before restoring?
Yes I did a full wipe before flashing and also before I tried to restore my black-up thru rom manager.I have flashed plenty of roms and this phone am not a total noob when it comes to this phone. I have never encountered this problem before. Before i tried going into recovery thru rom manager to restore back up thru CWm 4.0 etc, and it says I need CWM 5.0. I updated the rom manager to 5.0 etc and when I reboot and go into recovery (not thru rom Manager) and it says that it is the 4.0 etc version.Also is the 5.0 etc version blue? it jumps from 4.0 to 5.0 back to 4.0. This is a lil weird I went into recovery and did a restore from there and when I try in RM it comes up with error message Cannot restore cuz my CWm is 4.0 etc. thats when it jumps back from 5.0 to 4.0. I know this is confusing and by the way all the etcs you see are because I don't know the exact version. Any helps and thnx to whomever does.

You need to update thru NVFlash. Here is the link and everything should be fine after that. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
Thanks guys u rock. I got the new CWM on there for nvflash. Now I am moving my saved back up zipped file from downloads to CWM on sd card after I zip it, so well see how this goes right now. THanks again
With the G2X don't use rom manager for your backup/restore. Boot directly into the clockworkmod that you installed with nvflash and do the backup/restore from there.
Hello, i previously recovered using xsball gingerbread guide, i thought id brave roms again and was using touch recovery that came with the guide. To help things a long i took backups and restored then when roms failed etc. this all went fine.
I thin thought, maybe its because im using touch that roms were failing so i installed non touch 5.0.2.0, took my backup and flashed my rom (CM10). This failed (bootloop) so i tried to restore my backup. CM repotred that the backup was successfull but now when i reboot im stuck at LG logo with all of the lights on and nothing happening.
I can get back into CWM can anyone suggest ANYTHING?
Maybe if someone could upload the same version of CWM touch that came with the GB guide i could flash that via CWM non-touch somehow?
can someone suggest ANYTHING to get my phoen to work again
Thanks (Desperate)

I was trying to install a custom rom on my phone yesterday. I made a backup of my system using the phones recovery mode. After that i tried installing the rom, but i was told that i can only install the rom with clock work Mode (CWM) installed on my device. So i installed the CWM and went ahead to install the rom. As it turned out the rom was not compartible with my phone so the phone started bool looping (freezing at manufacture logo). Sensing danger i went back to restore my old operating system using the backup i made earleir only to realize that i couldnt install it. That was because i made the made the backup using the recovery mode of the stock rom and as such CWM could use that backup. Now am stuck with a soft bricked phone.
I have a few choices.
1. Get CWM out of the phone and use the recovery mode of the stock rom to restore my system.
2. Install a compartible custom rom on my phone and take off from there.
Can anyone help me out with a way that i can get back to the recovery mode of my stock rom or better still how to remove clock work mode from the phone.
Or alternatively a custom rom that will work with my phone. Am using a mediatek device and after searching for some time i have realised that there are very few roms out there that actually work with mediatek devices. If anyone can suggest one for me, i would be very grateful.

As IDK what kind of backup you made on the "stock" recovery, you should try to flash a compatible ROM for your device.
Have a look at this one: Xperia Honami ROM For all Mediatek 6572.
But you need to boot into the custom recovery for flashing it.
Next time create the backup with CWM or TWRP recovery. Then you can restore it in the corresponding recovery again.

I own a Samsung Galaxy A5(A500G) and have recently rooted it using the Kingo root app via my PC.After that,I tried to use Flashify app on Google Play store to flash a TWRP recovery.After I installed it,When i restarted my phone, it states 'xxxxxx serodroid not enforcing' or something like that.In the TWRP,I tried to reboot it but it kept pulling back to the TWRP and I could not reboot it to the Android screen.This is not quite bothering me,because I could just flash my Stock ROM(A500GXXU1BPC3_A500GOLC1BPD1_XSP)that I found it on Samobile and I have used it many times to get my soft bricked phone back to normal.The thing is, after I flashed the Stock ROM,IT DID NOT ERASE ANY DATA .Except that i get my back to the unrooted state.Everything is just normal and all my files are intact.I do not know why.Is it just a normal thing,or has it got anything to do with the Kingo Root app?
Please reply.Many thanks.
P.S. I have not installed titanium backup,or a nanodroid backup.
Problem solved,thread closed.
