I did something wrong and now my phone is BOOT LOOPING (will not get passed the boot animation).
I can still enter FASTBOOT FLASH MODE, but i do not have rom to flash.
I can also enter into CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY but once again I'm missing a rom to flash.
Can someone direct me to a stock rom, prefer CSPIRE but will try any other rom to get me back up and running.

This post has the right xml (the original is busted I think), but the op has the RSD program that should get you in the right direction.

prolly gotta rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to something else. add a .bak to the end of the file name.
I am having the same issue now. Clockwork Recovery just will not flash. I have to use 'fastboot boot recovery.img' to get into it. I have tried numerous versions, different roms, fastboot, and Rom Manager.
On Nexus S 4G. Currently running CM9 nightly.
Bootloader Version=D720SPRKE1
Baseband Version=D720SPRKL2
Bootloader=unlocked
I have tried reflashing the modem back to KE1, but still can't flash Clockwork Recovery.
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but anyone have any ideas? I have searched all over. I use to not have this issue at all.
I accidentally flashed the auckf1 radio on my i9023. And I'm not able to flash into any thing else. I keep getting a signature error. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I did the same thing with my I9020T, I accidentally used the 4G one click unroot and it installed a 4G rom on my T-mobile NS. Now when I try to flash a stock rom for the I9020T it gives me a signature verification errror, I'm still trying to figure it out
I haven't tried it out yet but I have a theory. The recovery on my phone I realised is the default Google one. Not CWM so I'm gonna try and reflash CWM and try to install an i9023 stock rom.
It you have a comp around try it would you? I'm not getting home for a while :/

Go get the correct rom then rename it to update.zip move it to the root of your sd
Go in stock fastboot mode
Go to recovery hit the power button and when you see the the android question mark guy hold volume up and power
Go to apply update.zip and when your on your correct rom do this process to flash any stock rom
You should just flash the correct ICS rom ,good luck and please read read and when you think you got it read some more
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
Another way I can think of is to flash koushs recovery img in fastboot mode and restore one of your backups, hopefully you didn't delete them because there still there but you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to see them
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
I tried using the default Google recovery to flash back. Hopeless. I keep getting the security error. I'm pretty sure Koush’s cwm will be able to fix it but I need a damn computer!

Solved. I flashed CWM. Flashed a rom(CyberGR) and a baseband(XXKB3) and I realized my efs was screwed. I restored my efs with Root explorer. And done. Problem solved.
I have the same problem too, and I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396224 to boot using recovery mode. It works!
I have a HTC Inspire 4G, I got the bootloader unlocked and had it rooted. I had CWM Recovery on it that was like version 5.8 the one before that. I tried flashing a jellybean firmware, the phone never went by past the HTC white screen. I tried updating the recovery and it still didn't work. Right now my phone can only boot into hboot and that's still unlocked, but fastboot commands won't work, I can only flash new recoveries, but no ROMs actually get flashed. I tried using the PDimg thing for HBOOT to get back into full stock, I followed all the rules about going to ext3 (can't remember off the top of my head). It won't see the image, I've tried everything out there. ADB won't see the device unless in recovery mode, fastboot won't work, except to flash new recoveries.
Any possible ideas?
After flashing a ROM you need to fastboot flash thr ROM zip's boot.img.
Even if it doesn't boot into the ROM? It should work?

No. I missed that. Can you fastboot flash a recovery? If not, you can try running a RUU.
Yeah I am able to flash a recovery via fast boot, but to actually do any other commands via fast boot it won't recognize anything. HBOOT won't see any .zips, tried everything.

I don't understand. Where are these zips? Computer or phone?
Phone. The .zips are like the pd98img things. Those don't read on my phone from HBOOT
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Wait, if you have a working recovery, just flash a ROM (not PD98IMG) zip from the recovery (not fastboot). Download a custom ROM, full wipe in recovery, and flash in recovery.
Tried that. It seriously just sits there till the battery dies trying to turn on, doesn't pass the HTC white screen.

And then extract the boot.img from the ROM zip and fastboot flash boot boot.img.
I love you haha

Background: I am still on ICS 4.0.4 rooted and unlocked (atleast ez unlock says im unlocked and i have superuser and voodoo says im still rooted) .
However, when I try to flash a custom recovery , ROM manager gets stuck at 100 % and closes. I have also tried installing a custom recovery via EZ recovery, and it says its flashed. However, when I boot into recovery mode, all i see is the stock recovery. So I am not sure what is going on. Do you guys have any idea?
If your still on ICS try selecting an older recovery? Some newer versions are not meant for ICS anymore I believe ...

I recall a similar issue I had due to the bootchain...not sure if that would apply here or not though
I was reading somewhere that samsung devices auto -overwrite a flashed recovery and change it back to stock. I am not sure how to combat this issue , or whether this affects anyone else?
You could try flashing a recovery through odin, that might give a different result. I think when you boot straight into recovery mode from download mode after flashing it might ask you to disable the phone from auto restoring the stock recovery.
I could be wrong though, it seems that's a common thing that happens when rooting a 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 base. However, flashing only the recovery file should still work for an ics base too. Just make sure it's a tar file, not an img file for the custom recovery for use in odin.

im new to this phone and unlocked and rooted, cwm, problem is it wont flash to partitions inside recovery, nor will it flash is fastboot, says cannot load????
any thoughts would be very helpfull
I don't understand. What are you trying to do? Flash CWM, it fails? Or do you already have CWM and you can't flash a ROM...?
Please explain in detail what you are trying to do, what you have attempted to fix it, and what error messages / info you get back.
Already have cwm after motochopper root method after bootloader unlocked, downloaded slim bean for sprint photon q, booted into recovery wiped partitions and flashed thing is it sticks at the bootanimation, so I waited for a bit after a fresh flash to no avail so I downloaded rds lite and necessary files to flash deleted the 2 lines in yhe xml file, went to flash comes up unknown flashboot command, tried a few times before I tried to flashboot flash twrp, but when I type the command to fasboot flash, error cannot load.img. either recovery or boot

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As far as I know.
Well that's odd - did you check the md5sum of the download? Make sure that you have a good download?
Can you give more details about your issue? Maybe a screenshot?
Yeah I can do that a little later
