Hello.
So, I used to have a custom recovery (TWRP 2.8), custom rom (OMNI) and things were good. Then I lost my phone, and when I got it back, it didnt have the sd card. Thing is, my custom rom depended on that sd card.
Now, it doesnt go past the htc logo. I tried flashing many roms, never managed to get past htc logo. At this point, I'm good with ANY rom, even stock. I already replaced recovery with stock recovery.img in hopes of maybe getting my phone back. I can easily reflash twrp through fastboot if that's required though.
I'm totally stuck... what can I do? Any help would be much, MUCH appreciated.

Try clearing all your partition using twrp recovery(except sd card).
Then partition your sd card (take a back up and place in pc) based on your desire ROM.
and use the rom if you don't have sd card then try the above steps and flash stock rom.

Okay, so here's my issue. I have a Mytouch (Tmobile branded) and I was following a guide on the internet for how to root it and install custom roms and somehow in the guide I downloaded and flashed the recovery image with recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.3.img instead of the freakin' mytouch specific recovery image. I have found the right one now but the recovery image is loaded and I don't know how to change it if I can't boot into my phone. I can get to the recovery partition and it can wipe my phone and restore default, etc. but it won't load any custom ROMs. How do I load the proper recovery image? Like from a terminal or something? My phone isn't bricked is it, at least hard bricked?
Well it looks like I might be able to do this from terminal, like flash the recovery partition with the correct one on the sd card. Any way of how to do this, or what I'd need to put in the terminal?
Heyyyyy, I figured it out! I just loaded a SAPPIMG.nbh image and I'm going to reload the recovery from there. Thanks though haha I like figuring it out for myself anyway. The symptoms of this issue before I noticed the build was wrong was it wouldn't get past the green HTC MyTouch screen, even after 30 mins. Hope this helps you all.
Okay so I'm back again, this time with the recovery image RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G and it's not loading cyanogen roms. I can boot into the recovery and all is well until I try to load a custom rom. I reboot and all it does is hang still on the Mytouch logo, and I waited over 2 hours so it's not me being impatient. When I flashed the accidentally wrong dream recovery image did I change the radio with it? What am I doing wrong?
I'm mildy retarded sometimes. I was trying to install the update.zip over nothing instead of the 1.6 base. It's working now. The guide I was using just sucked. Love it! Thanks guys for all your hard work!
Hi folks hoping someone that's not an idiot can help me
I was modding my phone for the first time. I unlocked the boot loader and been the genius I am I assumed this meant it Was also rooted . I then attempted to install cm10 and it looks like I wiped the whole device and it is now in a boot loop. I can get into recovery but noting helps there .My phone is still showing in device manager . I flashed the clock work recovery and now I have the twrp recovery flashed. Twrp allows me to mount the SD card so I can put files on and move them around with a copy an past action with twrp . I tried an ruu but can not find my software version . In tried a couple but they won't work. So two questions really before I bin or see if o2 will fix it. 1. Does it sound like its bricked ? 2. Can I root it with out bottling up soi can put an operation system onto it ? Or if any one has any suggestions. Thanks folks
I tried following some guide online to get my S3 rooted and running stock Jelly Bean and all was going so well...Casual Root worked like a charm, cyanogen all set. But when I went to install the ROM and Gapps in recovery it kept getting hung up. I assumed this was due to encryption on the device from my work email, so I went back to factory andremoved the account and decrypted the device.
Then it was back to recovery to flash the ROM and Gapps. All seemed to go well,the ROM installed fine, Gapps installed fine, but reboot got stuck at the cyanagenmod loop. I had mad a backup of the original ROM, but I must have saved it to the internal SD card by accident before i factory wiped. I thought my best bet would be to load the Gapps and ROM onto my external SD and flash from there, but I cant get it to mount.
The one good thing that I can do is get to the Odin boot screen. Anyone think there's a chance I can get Odin to flash something that will boot? And does anyone have suggestions of what to flash?
So recently I've taken my hand at attempting to install Cyanogen on my phone. But I believe something went wrong.
I installed CWM onto my phone and wiped my SD card clean. Then via ADB, I transferred the files required into my phone and installed the firmware. However, upon loading it, I ran into multiple errors so I decided to format the system/sdcard again and reinstalled it.
Now whenever my phone turns on, it just goes straight into recovery. I've attempted to use multiple ROM files to install onto my phone but nothing works. My phone is an LG Optimus G Pro ("e980") using CWM recovery if that helps. I'm honestly a little scared that I permanently damaged this phone. The only real thing I can accomplish is installing a ROM into the phone, so I know for a fact that if I can pass this loop, there's an OS waiting for me. :/

You flashed the recovery as boot, you can flash your boot img or reflash the whole rom...
You should be able to boot properly

With the assistance of TWRP in a zip file, I was able to flash my outdated CWM away.
Thank you for the confirmation, was scared if I flashed a recovery in a recovery, I would of lost something.
Great that you solved your problem.
Hi guys!!! It's been years since I was last here, I suddenly decided to upgrade my GT S7500 to custom firmware but I have a problem.
While I was at work today, I decided to play with my phone, to make recovery through ClockWorkMod, since I was goin to flash a custom FW through CWM later at home.
My GTS7500 is running a semi-custom ROM, I have changed it years ago and cant remember the exact changes but it's almost same as the vanilla ROM, with minor bugfixes.
I haven't booted CWM in years so I can't remember doing anything or having any problems in the past.
So I unlocked my phone and clicked the CWM Mod icon, the app starter and then I selected to 'Boot into CWM"
My phone rebooted and I am now into CWM.
I haven't done anything, but I am stuck in the recovery.
I screwed around holding some buttons and stuff, and I managed to get to ODIN (as far as I remember this is the screen to flash firmware through USB) but this didn't help me.
I tried removing the battery for hours and it didn't help.
I have my ROM backup on my microSD flash card, from 2012.
What should I do?
Should I select "Restore Boot" from the CWM recovery?
Or should I attempt to flash the new custom ROM straight ahead?
The screen says: CWM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.8
Thanx in advance!
HI guys a quick update: I managed to mount the storage of the phone and microSD to my PC through USB from withing the CWM recovery menu, I am backing up all the data on my laptop.
I found a file called 'exitrecovery.zip' on my microSD card, may be this is the fix I need? May be I got the same problem years ago when I reflashed the stock FW but I cant remember? Thanx again for all suggestions!
PS: I only managed to 'mount' the micro SD card from within CWM Recovery, for some reason I cant mount the internal phone storage, which is bad since I need to recover my contacts and phone numbers!
FIXED IT!!!
Seems like the CWM Recovery was not installed properly!!!
I installed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359572
Through my current CWM recovery and now it seems to be working fine!!!
Thanx to this DEV!!!
PLEASE RECOMMEND ME A GOOD ROM!!!! WITH LESS BLOATWARE AND FASTER EXPERIENCE!!!
TOGO FLASH PEGASUS or ACECPLUS or INSPIRATION???
Which one is best?
Which aps to install?
Thanx in advance for all reading this!
