pitmanr2003,
You seem to know nvflash and CWM, so I'll give you the short version.
NVFlash back and install CWM so you can work in it.
I associate boot looping with partition problems -- your tablet needs to
be re-partitions in CWM.
When you have a working CWM, go to the Advanced menu and run
the Repartition option. Set it for 2048 and 0 when requested. Takes
a while so don't panic.
When that finishes, also Fix Permissions. Then Wipe Dalvic Cache.
The go back to the main CWM menu and Wipe Cache and Wipe
Factory Data.
Having done this, you can reload your rom. If CWM is still working,
you can use it to load. If not, you have plenty of nvflash experience
now to do it that way.
Hope this helps.

P. S. -- I don't use the format utilities. Also, in CWM the Volume rocker
moves the menu selection up and down. Home selects the item. Back
will take you back a step. I think these directions are just above the
menu at the top of the screen.
P. S. S. -- If you can't flash CWM, flash stock and then look at the new
post I just created in Q&A Forum on "Emergency CWM Recovery MiniSD".

I have got cwm. Installed. And can move up and down. The problem is I can't select any options due to the home key and the back key don't work now. They used to work perfect. Till all this happened.

pitmanr2003,
If the keys don't work with CWM, the I don't see anything to do
but go back and re-nvflash and see of that will get CWM to
working. Also, make sure the CWM is the bekit .8 version.
I mean re-nvflash to stock 1105 and reload CWM.

i can flash back to stock. I dont know what version, but all it does is boot loop, so how can i install cwm. The way i am installing cwm is through nflash by replacing part9 with the downloaded cwm for internal. I just change the name of it to part9. i have also tried the 46 nflash and it boot loops as well. i think im flashing cwm wrong through nflash, but that is all that Info i have found.
pitmanr2003,
Don't use the '46' it is for Linux and I have helped other people who loaded it and
got boot loops.
You say you are installing CWM -- what happens when you shut down, and then
restart by pressing power and volume +. Do you get CWM? Or what?
If we can get CWM installed and opened and working, then we can do several things ranging
from wiping cache to resetting factory data, to re-partitioning to wiping the dalvik
cache to fix permissions -- all of which could tip us over from not working to working.
Don't give up yet. Be patient and keep thinking.
Let us know.....

I can get cwm installed. I get to the recovery screen. And can use volume up and down to navigate but I can't select the options. My home and back button wont work. I push them and it does nothing. They worked fine before I did nflash and tried to restore a backup I had from while back.

Do you have bekit's 1105 image on the machine right now?
If not, what do you have on it?
I have it on there. Just don't know if I have it installed right being my home key and back button aren't workink. I queasy it is 1105. The one for internal use that is from sticky on installing cwm and roms
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Ok... we're not understanding each other. I asked what version of the nvflash image you have on there.
1) You must nvflash with bekit's 1105 image
2) You must use CWM .8
Any other combination will give you trouble.
I think I need to start over. What is best steps to get clean slate. Here is what I have tried. I used the format nflash utility that is stickied. Then I nvflashed what I assume is 1105. How can I tell? I just use the one that is stickied in here as well. When I do that it acts like its going to load. But it gets to tapntap screen and just keeps looping. Then I tried to format again through nflash. And then flash cwm to try to set partition size. The way I do this and may be wrong. I take cwm and rename it to part9
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
And reflash that way. I then can get to bekit .8 but home buttons and back button wont select options. I think where I'm going wrong is how I'm installing cwm through nflash. But can't find tutorial for it

The 1105 is part of the filename that you would download... "nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip"

If you are looping at the TapNTap screen you can probably install CWM from an SD card instead of through nvflash. Instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020747
Thx I will try that. I don't have any blank micro SD cards. Only my phone one. Will it be safe to just put it on root of it and use it. Even without deleting my files already on it

It should be but you never know. If you can back it up to your computer first that would be better.
That's what I probably will do

I am using Liquid Thundersense 1.4...I went into the liquid toolbox last night to do a wipe because I was going to flash a new rom. When I said yes to the wipe it turned off and then cam back on at my like main (i guess it is called a bootloader screen) and it will not get any farther than that...I'm not sure what to do about this because the only way the phone responds to anything is by pulling the battery or holding the power and both volume buttons down to restart back to the same damn thing again...I have never had a problem like this so I'm not sure where to go from here...Any help would be appreciated greatly!
I searched everywhere and could find anything this specific
OK I think my terminology was a little off...I guess the bootloader screen is the white screen where you can access fastboot, recovery, factory reset, etc...I still have s-off according to this screen...I can get here by holding down the down volume and the power and I can get to clockwork recovery. But it's when i try to reboot after either one that it gets stuck at that first loading screen
It sounds like you need to put a ROM on your SD card, boot into recovery and flash it from there. Did you not do a wipe and erased your existing ROM? No wonder the phone can't boot anymore.

You are right.
The white screen is the bootloader.
When you get to bootloader navigate to recovery.
if you have made a back up in the past you can go to backup/recovery and recover your old back up.
If not you will have to do what the user above said.
Put a rom.zip file on your sd card and flash it in recovery.
cowisland...thanks i did that and it worked...i must have done the damn wipe wrong or whatever, but i put a rom on my sd and it took care of the problem!

Have you done a nandroid backup before trying to flash new stuff ? If yes try to boot In recovery (volume up+home button+power button) and restore your backup

I applied the steelblue theme from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042365
After applying in CWM, I rebooted, but I am stuck on the reboot screen.
What do I do now?
If it helps, I accidentally ran the theme on 2.3.4 when I'm pretty sure it was meant for the older version of android.
I only realized until later, and by then it was too late.

Power off phone > hold power button and volume down button together and hold it until "fastboot" appears > as soon as you see "fastboot" appear ..use volume rockers to scroll through list and select "android recovery"...IF you made a backup ..install your back up.

Actually I just did.
Just now, my atrix randomly booted into recovery mode(looks like this: http://atrix4ghacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/atrix-4g-clockworkmod-recovery-6-300x257.jpg) , so the first thing i did was make a backup. But is there any way to just boot into the normal unthemed state from here?
I tried to select rebooting, but it still booted into Steel Blue. So i took the battery out and turned it back on and did some random stuff until it booted back into CWM. Can I somehow unflash the Steel Blue theme and boot back to the normal state? I know, its probably a stupid question. But I'm pretty new, so I dont really know what I'm doing. :|
long story short ......with the new beats audio news out i flashed that and got stuck at the M logo on boot.
I pulled the battery plugged in and booted but still the same, stuck at M logo. Why is my bootstrap not working? i used it earlier today.
I also tried getting into the stock android recovery but then it just gets stuck at the android guy next to the triangle with the ! in the middle.
How do i get back into bootstrap so i can flash my nandroid backup! Thanks guys!
p.s. i have tried it numerous times hoping it would eventually work but nothing.

Did you flash the zrecovery before you rebooted?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426062
Might save you next time
Also if you wiped data your bootstrap will be gone.
not sure what zrecovery is?
i have the bootstrap recovery installed and have been using that for months without a hitch, just after i flashed the beats audio zip this morning (in bootstrap), i can't get it to even boot. im stuck at the M logo. and if i pull the battery and plug in, it won't even start up to bootstrap. I just want to flash my nandroid backup
i didn't wipe data, just flashed the zip. chose reboot in Bootstrap like normal and bam, stuck at M logo.....any way to force back into bootstrap? I was literally just in bootstrap 1 hr ago so i know its there....just not loading
Not that I aware of besides doing a sbf rooting again and installing bootstrap and then you can restore your nano back up.
Be sure to pull the battery for 30 sec put back and then plug in to get cwr to boot. Or Then try to access stock recov pwr on & rocker down to wipe data.
Thanks for the help!
As far as I know, the only way to get into bootstrap is through the bootstrap app itself. Which you need to be able to get into your phone to do. I do think you can get into it by rebooting while plugged in but maybe this doesnt work if you did something to mess up the startup. As was mentioned already, your only choice most likely is to SBF, root and install bootstrap again and then restore your backup.
I beg to differ. As long as charge mode was never put back to normal which is also a mistake.

if u have BSR installed and u haven't wiped data or flashed any new ROM, u can just power down/battery pull and u will boot into BSR, it hijacks charge only mode

sending out an SBF, my God there are great tutorials here in General and Android Dev sections... Cwr is not part of DX2 BSR is, but you wiped and lost that. To enter stock Android Recovery you just hit power button volume down...but that won't help you now...so just SBF and root then restore your backed up material through Titanium backup.... Install BSR and NANDroid back...you did make NANDroid backups I assume, if not I suggest starting to. Good luck

Thats what I thought. But the OP cant get that to work from what I get. Is that method still supposed to work if you cant even boot the phone?
As long as you do not wipe data BSR should be installed. If you pull battery and put it back in before you even try to boot plug it in to wall charger. This will take you straight to BSR before you ever try to boot. Then you can get back to your nano back up.
"I also tried getting into the stock android recovery but then it just gets stuck at the android guy next to the triangle with the ! in the middle."
@ the triangle Push the middle of the rocker to get to stock recovery. (both up and down at same time)

Stock recovery wont allow you to flash stuff to the phone or backup your ROM or stuff like that. Thats why we have a special one to do those things.
Stock is good for flashing an ota (no need to rename just make it start w/ a number so it will be first in a mess of zips at the root of your external sd)
And wiping data.
