I have flashed roms many times and never had a problem. This time, i was going from the newest M release of Cyanogenmod to Cleanmod. While clearing my dalvik cache, I accidentally hit some bootloader option (CWM Touch). Then after I finished flashing, it wouldn't boot into cleanrom, it just stuck on the Samsung screen. I tried reflashing CM but that freezes too at the Cyanogenmod screen. Now I cant get into CWM recovery or Odin. I can get to these screens but as soon as I get there, the phone reboots on it's own. Is there anything I can do to recover the phone? I've been searching all day but I can't find anything that suits me since I can power on the phone just can't really get into the recovery console or Odin.

hey guys,
today i took upon the task of rooting my first android device and installing cyanogenmod on it. i first installed fastboot and then clockwork for rooting. all went fine then i installed cyanogenmod. after the installation said it completed succesfully i restarted my tablet but now it just stays at the lenovo logo during booting. i still can get into the clockwork mod recovery menu. i already tried wiping data/cache both to no avail. i can also still boot into fastboot when i turn on the tablet and hold the vol+ button but it doesnt do anything.
i really, really hope i didnt brick on my first try, if anybody got ANY clue, i would be more than thankful
ok i fiddled around a little bit more and formatted /cache, /data and /emmc in hope of removing anything that might prevent my tab from booting. after that i got the stock recovery menu again from which i tried a factory reset. however, when the tab tries to install factory data it says it failed. luckily i have an sd card with cwm on it so i can boot into it again.
i think that somehow the files needed for a factory reset are damaged or gone. i will try flashing a new rom when i get myself a cardreader, i just used the a1 as mass storage until now.
So I tried to install Android Revolution HD 9.0 today, and after installation, I got stuck in a boot loop. Then I tried factory resets and cache partion wipes and multiple reinstalls and now it automatically boots into recovery.
Prior, I had a stock ROM, but it was rooted, but I was plagued with issuse such as random reboots and half the time on reboot, it would be stuck in a boot loop.
Can anyone help me out here?
I'm still fairly new to android modding beyond following instructions for installing CWM/Custom ROMs, so take that into consideration.
Factory reset or wipe phone in CWM and flash a new stock rom via Odin .

Done and done. Thanks for the help!
I installed cyanogenmod a few days ago and it was working fine. I installed a font changing app, and it needed to reboot to work. When it tried to reboot, it got stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen. I booted to recovery and did a factory reset, wiped dalvin cache to no avail. I found a stock Rom for my phone, but Odin doesn't seem to see it when I go into downloading mode. Am I doing something wrong? What should I do next?
Just reflash CM.
hi,
Recently i've updated p5100 to omnirom kitkat and i have CWM touch recovery. And also my device is not rooted.
out of the blues, my tab started auto rebooting itself. so i decided to do a factory reset to it. But i noticed nothing changed. the tab looked exactly the same. so i decided to flash a new rom (slimkat) to it. and i did. i followed the typical flashing technique through the sdcard. I cleared data, cleared partition, dalvik cache. and also flashed the new rom. but when i boot it, it remained the same old omnirom kitkat.
I did it a few times and got my tab stuck on bootload (omnirom) . i just dont get why CWM is not factory reseting the device or accepting any new rom. i even tried flashing TWRP. but no luck! so as a conclusion, my p5100 cant accept any new rom or recovery image and it cant factory reset. stuck on boot animation! but i could flash in the AROMA filemanager to it... would seriously appreciate if anyone could help me with this problem.
Thanks in advance.
So I was running a stable CM12 ROM on my D800, but I decided to try MIUI 6. And I love it. After initially flashing it, I lost SIM connectivity, but after scouring for a fix, I was able to fix it by flashing a JB Bootloader and KK baseband. Everything was working great. Until I realized that I lost my recovery. Completely. Every time I try to boot into recovery, it just hangs at the LG Logo. I can't even factory reset. I try to reset from Settings menu, phone freezes. I try to hard reset through button combination and recovery, boots to LG logo and freezes. I try to boot to recovery through MIUI Updater app, same thing. I try to install zips through MIUI Updater, same thing. The thing that absolutely astounds me is that I can't even factory reset through system settings. The phone will boot, has data, wifi, bluetooth, the whole nine yards. But i cannot for the life of me get a working recovery. I have tried flashing Philz, TWRP, and CWM, all to no avail. I can use Rom Manager, and flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and it will say successful, but when I try to reboot to recovery, it just gets stuck at LG. Someone out there has to have a fix without flashing back to stock and starting over.
TWRP was working to flash the Bootloader and Baseband. After SIM started working, recovery was gone.
