Put the SD card into a card reader, then put that into your computer and delete the file, then boot into hboot then into recovery.
OR during the boot loop get into adb on your computer and type "adb reboot recovery" I would actually try this first.

I'm a noob here. erased my recovery.img file and decided install a theme zip file. As I install it and reboot it, its just stuck on the android logo. it's reappearing over and over. Can any1 please help! And yes my g1 had been rooted already.
Is there a way i can mount my phone back on to the pc and use cmd to put back in the recovery.img?
Maybe this can help
Did you just erase the recovery.img file of the sd card? I bet you still got the recovery image but you just delete the "install" file. just take the battery out, pop back in, and press home and power on. it should go to the recovery image. if you make a nandroid backup, just restore it. if not just flash the latest cyanogen rom.
You can toggle usb on or off in the recovery menu. when i first flashed cyanogen, i forget to flash the htc file so i got stuck on the mytouch screen. lucky the recovery image i used had usb toggle
or you can wait a while and see. usually the first time you flash a rom/theme it takes a while to load up

Oh ok. What did you do? was it even close to what i said?
I just quickly ran to Wal-mart and bought a SD Adapter along with a SD card reader/writer that connects to the usb. Took out my sd card from the G1 attached it to the adapter and the adapter to the sd reader/writer and attach connect it to the usb motherboard. It automatically opens up the sd card and I just erase the update file and copy my backup right back in there. Boot up my G1 holding camera button+power on, reloads everything and then reboot the phone with home+power button. When that triangle with ! mark showed up, Alt+L, then Alt+S, TADA!! got it. Good thing to do a backup before doing an installment of something.
thanx alot though.
Hi Guys,
replaced my wpa_supplicant file in a failed attempt to get adhoc connectivity. Now I have the dreaded boot loop.
If I try recovery mode, I get an exclamation mark so thats a no go. The phone shows up in device manager on XP as "Android ADB Interface", but ADB device list is empty.
Any help much appreciated,
Regards
ross
Every time you boot the phone the NS rewrites the recovery back to stock. You MUST flash a custom recovery EVERY TIME (unless you rename the stock recovery img, search for how to do it on xda) That's why you can't get into recovery.
Sent from my NS running NSCollab cuz I lost my tin cans and string....

thats not true, you dont have to flash the custom recovery every time. i bet cw recovery was flashed through rom manager, thats why its not there right now. what you want to do is flash the recovery through fastboot, then it will stick.
Thanks for the replies guys, I've made progress but I'm still have issues.
I'm relatively new to this so forgive me if my understanding of the process isnt what it should be. I've flashed a recovery mod (recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img) using fastboot via the SDK. The file was uploaded successfully. I reboot the phone and I still get the boot loop problem after about 20 secs.
I assume that the recovery mod doesnt replace the wpa_supplicant file that I've put on the phone. Is there a way for me to access the file system and restore the backup I made? ADB wont detect the phone, but fastboot does :S
Again, help much appreciated!
if you can get into clockwork recovery, you can restore your backup from there , if you made a backup. Myself, i always have at least 3 different roms on phone in case of boot loop, has happen to me before.After you have reflashed clockwork recovery, make sure you reflash root file as well
i was following this thread to install the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429953
i applied the PG58IMG.zip from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432220 as this was said to be required.
now after i updated the firmware through HBOOT, the phone asked to reboot. but it only stays at the white screen "HTC" and nothing more
all i can do is pull the battery out and put it back in and boot into HBOOT
i want to get into recovery mod to install the ROM i have saved on my SD Card. but like i said i cant get into recovery as once i press "bootloader" it will try to update the FW again. i only can say YES or NO, either one will end up with Rebooting the Phone as my only option. which gets me back into the WHITE SCREEN.
HELP PLEASE!!!
Take the memory card out, boot in to hboot, enter recovery. Reinstall memory card, and deleat the file.
thnx
thx. didnt think of that

Simple when you know how lol.
I learnt it last week
You can also run "adb reboot recovery" while the phone is off. That way you don't have to take the cover off. It also works if you for some reason get stuck (happens sometimes when flashing PG58IMG.zip files) at the HTC splash screen.
I was running the Hypernonsense ROM and wanted to try a diff kernel. I flashed the newest faux kernel and now it's stuck at the first boot screen.
I do a battery pull and can voldown + power and get to the bootloader, but the problem there is that it sees the latest 3.32 P58IMG update on my SD card every time and won't let me select any other options. I can flash that over and over, but it's still sticking at the first boot screen, doesn't make it to the ROM's bootup screen.
Delete PG58IMG.zip.
Hang on, isn't Hyper-non-Sense ROM based on ICS? Faux's kernel's are only for Gingerbread based ROMs. Reflash the ROM to restore the 'stock' kernel.
help please

How do I get to a point where I can delete the IMG file or reflash...it's just "stuck".
take the sd card out,
boot the phone into the boot loader
go to recovery
it will start counting down or whatever looking for the sd card
put the card back in
it will see the sd card
it will continue on into recovery
connect to pc
mount usb in recovery
delete img file
reboot now if you like everything will be back to normal
* i believe this will also work if you put the sd card in after the bootloader is loaded before you go to recovery, the card just needs to be not present while the bootloader is loading. i believe it checks the card when it loads the bootloader, but after the bootloader comes up you can put the card back in then proceed to recovery

Ok, I was able to have it plugged into my laptop, voldown+power until I heard windows "bing" like a new device connected.
Then I went to a command prompt where I have adb installed and ran
adb devices
To make sure it was connected and it was. Then I ran
adb reboot recovery
And now I'm back to 4EXT recovery...phew, was getting worried. Gonna super wipe and install a new ROM.

Hi,
What is the problem?
Hello malybru,
Yesterday my device got stuck and I couldn't boot up and I could not access recovery.
I than found these steps that would allow a Mac user access to adb and fastboot.

Now I am all good again, but I was nervous at first cause it seemed like most of the tools are PC related.
Thank you
Hi, would like to go back to stock and am having problems getting into fast boot. I installed the original image file on my sd card it goes into fast boot and apears to begin to flash the recover after a couple of second it has the android laying down with the exclamation point. Anybody have any ideas? I am currently rooted and boot unlocked.
Are you running a recovery or flashing the recovery image ?? If you are running the recovery, make sure you have the power lead in !

No, I am trying to install the original recovery thru the SD card. I hold down the power + vol up button to get the recovery file to update the original recovery but get the android with a exclamation point. It wont install the recover zip. I have renamed it to recovery.zip, but still not working?
