[Q] Help Help Phone keeps getting in clockwork recovery mode

HI ALL,
i have unrooted my phone and then i,ve updated my phone but i forgot to remove clockworkmodrecovery now when i reboot my phone it keeps getting in recovery mode
Is there anyone who can help me?

I have the exact same problem!
I've tried restoring a backup, rebooting the phone, turning it off, install update from sdcard, formatting cache...
None to any avail. Please help!
I've tried about every option now, I've even tried downloading a ROM and flashing it to the phone. It still boots into Clockworkmod.
Can I throw my phone in the trash now?
Edit:
I don't have windows XP, so nope to unbricking your O3D guide.

Sdcard
I can only put the rom at my external sdcard i don know how to put someting in the internal flash

I've now tried flashing KingDroid.
It's still in the bootloop.
Why does it seem like no one even cares about this thread?

People care but if they don't have an answer for you it's not much they can do, tried pulling the battery I guess and using CWM to reset battery data and reseting to factory defaults etc?

People arent answering because there is already a guide on the forum explaining exactly how to fix this.

I have tried about every single option in the CWM menus, and I've tried pulling the battery at random times.
None of them worked.
I'm now going to remove Arch Linux from my PC to make room for windows XP. Sorry for my previous outrage.
Next time remove CWM from your phone before updating...
I just installed windows XP and followed the guide to the letter. I am now stuck with the firmware update screen. How do I get rid of this?

Flash rom
I,ve managed to flash the rom with the original v10D but itś still booting in clockwork recovery mode pfffff

These phones really are hard to unbrick.

Tell me please how to exit Rekaveri. Reloading and pulling the battery does not helps, it means everything? brick?

If you're stuck at the "updating firmware" screen like me, you're simply ****ed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197108
use LG vip service.
I just called them, they said they'd "assess" my situation and that they'd call me back to tell me whether they'll replace it...

restore
Hi,
I have managed to restore a backup image but he is still booting in clockwork recovery what am i forgetting ????
Sincerely Snellie1972

Recover
I have recovered the phone with clockwork recovery with stock file
Optimus 3D 10D pre-rooted CWM restore but still it goes in too clockwork recovery at boot
What am i doing wrong ????
Thanks in advance
snellie1972

Unfortunately I was also able to get passed the clockwork screen but the phone is stuck on the update just like anybody else. I contacted the store where I bought it from and they sent me a prepaid box already to send it to them for repair/replacement.
As everyone says, at the moment it's not possible to recover from that state, sorry snellie.
If you still get the clockwork, then just follow these instructions but even so, you wont get passed the software update screen.

Flash
I have managed to flash using first de KDZ tool from LG en after that i have used te LGMOBILE update tool and just put in my imei and serial and it was downloading and restoring my phone so far so good but when it was Finished without any error it is still haging on update software ...
I don't understand why it is not going any further
Greetz
snellie1972

It's almost as if this firmware update screen is fake and an indicator for LG to see you ****ed your phone up.
Is there any known hacker even working on this?

[Q] Is my phone bricked now?

Is my HTC Desire S bricked? It is stucked at the white HTC boot screen.
In september I got the MIUI rom up and running, now when I am about to sell my phone, I decided to go back and restore it. So I changed the ROM and then it wouldn't update it just stucked at exclamation point-screen, so I searched forums and found that I had to flash it. So I did with this one: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
Which I got from a list in this forum, went fine and my phone booted allright, so I went in and tried to update it via settings, it installed and now it is stucked at this white HTC bootscreen.
Is it bricked, or what do I do now?
Thanks.

download RUU_Europe_2.10.401.8 and use it

Unfortunately that doesn't work neither ... Any ideas?
Btw, thanks for the help

Well, I found out that I can go in to the fastboot mode, from revolutionary.
Isn't it called fastboot? Where you can choose factory reset, recovery etc.
Factory reset and recovery doesn't work though, when I try to recover I see a screen with a HTC Desire (not S) and a exclamation mark on it, what now?

My phone is Bricked? Help

Guys - I need help. I think i just blew my phone.
I flashed THE Sense-O-Maniac ICE ROM after a clean wife and my phone wouldn't boot. It kept getting stock on the Beats Logo. So I rewiped everything and reflashed this ROM. - Same result.
I then thought, maybe I should also update the firmware, though I am pretty sure, that my firmware was up to date.
So i reflashed the firmware on phone but it still wouldnt boot.
I took the memory card out and deleted the the firmware file so that I could not flash another rom. But when I tried to boot in Recovery my screen just went blank.
JUST BLANK
When I switch my phone on, I get a blank screen. The screen does light up though, but nothing shows.
If i connect the phone to USB, then the screen again lights up, even without the batter.
Has my phone gone poof??? Please help.

clean wife.
and why do u keep reflashing sense o maniac? why not try other rom?

Did you update your kernel or tried to use backup or install just old ROM, so far it doesn't sound bricked but just something missing, what was your previous ROM?

try "adb reboot recovery" continuously when booting the phone, ignoring all of the "error: device not found"

Boot while holding the volume down key (meaning power btn+ vol-). that should take you to the boot loader. once you're there, go to fastboot and flash a recovery image. you seem to have corrupted yours.

I had the same troubles with that rom.

I have already tried this continuously. No result with pressing boot with holding the volume key at all!! If I could do that, I knew i would be fine.

All i keep getting is error:device not found.
The computer too does not give any indication of any device being connected to the Usb port..

You should boot into bootloader (vol- & power) then flash a stock gb ruu. After this you can proceed to s-off, root, firmware ... Etc

[Q] Help! Did I just kill My phone!

Hello. I have a TMO HTC Sensation that i was able to root and get S-Off. I have changed roms a few times with out a problem. Last night I tried to install
[ROM][RC]AOKP "Initiate Your Swagger"[4.1.2][Nov 22][OTA][1080p]
I went into HBOOT, Factory Reset. I did a full wipe and wiped the cache. I then installed the new rom. When i rebooted the phone it would load up let me pick a language but then boot loop. I went back to HBOOT to do a a full wipe again but cant. I can scroll up and down but cant select anything. If I try to select anything it will go to the the HTC boot screen and freeze. Can anyone help me?

no man don't worry it's just freeze or bootloop, kill your phone or ur phone is dead means the board burned! u just want to flash ur official ROM and root it and CWM and just install ur favorite ROM!

Thanks for the reply. Im going to try that now. Hopefully it works. Whenever I press the power button to select an option from the HBOOT menu screen all it those is go to the HTC boot screen and freeze. Will report back.

Did you update the firmware to the latest? If not than that might be the issue.

I had previously rooted by ONE S T-Mobile version and it had been working fine. I then decided to try out another rom. I likely flashed an incorrect boot img because it would only reboot into fastboot, but would still allow me to go into recovery. I went to recovery and restored my nandroid backup; however, now the phone will get stuck on the opening HTC screen the red language on the bottom, "this build is for development purposes only." It will hang on this screen for about 20 seconds and then turn off. No loop. When I attempt to power up again, I get a quick horizontal flash of light across my screen and then the orange LED comes on in the top left corner indicating the phone is charging. I then hold down power and again the phone gets stuck on the opening HTC screen with the red language.
Any advice regarding a remedy would be much appreciated.

When p hone is on you'll have to power it off manually by pressing power for 10+ seconds. Then you should be able to enter the bootloader and fastboot. (Vol down + power) No matter if you have flashed a wrong kernel.

Thanks for the advice on how to enter the bootloader. Unfortunately, no matter how many times I try, using your method and a variety of other methods, I still can't get past "HTC developmental purposes only" screen. I'm not new to android and have experience with a number of phones, but this is my first HTC. Pretty frustrating thus far.
I'm to the point where I'd love to send the phone to someone who could RUU it and send it back.

Thankfully I finally figured out how to consistently get my phone to enter into Fastboot; however, no the trouble I'm having is finding the proper RUU. I've tried the 3 T-mobile varients available in the RUU depository found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2094414
But alas, while I am able to run the RUU program, which enters my phone into a mode where the screen is all black expect for the HTC logo in the middle, I keep on getting error codes. Are there more than 3 RUU varients identified in the depository?
Oh, I should note that I was also able to get into recovery, but my SD was unable to mount so I can't find my Nandroid.
Also, while the RUU program recongizes that I have my phone attached, the Hasson utility does not, nor does my computer.

Which error code?

You need to relock the bootloader before you run the RUU
And if your CID is Optus001 and you're S-ON you can't use T-Mobile RUUs (T-MOB010)

How did you enter the fast boot?
I was playing with System Files because of the low mic volume problem, rebooted and since then the phone does exactly like yours: 20sec of "this build is for development purposes only" then it switches off.
All button-combinations tried.
The PC in Printer and Devices sees it as an Android Phone, Device Manager sees a HTC MTP Device, but I don't see it in Windows Explorer.
Adb do not see any connected device.
I guess I have to change the motherboard.
