I must be dumb, stupid, or something ... Now I want to frakking bang my head on the wall
For the life of me, I cannot boot back into ClockWorkMod to install the latest DJ_Steve ROM. I previously was able to flash my Streak, but now I can't anymore. Granted, I don't play with my Streak as much as with my Captivate, but still, I should remember how to do this.
Here is what I do:
I open CWM
I click on Flash CWM Recovery
I wait for the "success" message
Then I click on Reboot into Recovery
Nothing happens... I power down and boot back normally
I've also tried this:
I open CWM
I click on Flash CWM Recovery
I wait for the "success" message
Then I click on "Install ROM from SD Card"
I navigate and choose my update.zip file; click Yes, Yes, etc.
Nothing happens. I power down and boot back normally

AAARRRRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I've tried the above by holding, after step 4, the Power and Camera buttons, the Power and Volume Up/Down button, Power and Vol. Down, Power and Vol. Up, etc. You get the idea ...
I either end up into the white menu for Fastboot, or end up into (what I think is) the stock recovery. There I choose "Install Update from SD Card" and then the phone waits forever at the "Detect SD" menu.
What is it that I should do? can someone please either shoot me or post some kind of detailed step-by-step, as if explained to a five year old
Thanks in advance!

I actually never could get ClockWorkMod to work on my streak no matter which version I picked. I got just as frustrated as you as I followed all of the given instructions and could never boot into CWM.
My suggestion (and the workaround I used) was to use fastboot and install StreakMod in the development section. It works 100% of the time for me and without any headaches.
With cwm I couldn't make a nandroid. Streakmod is the way to go.

My problem is, I run Windows as a VM inside a Mac (using Fusion) so I tried installing the Fastboot drivers and the rest, but I can't make it work reliably. It's like the drivers don't like being in a VM or something, each time I want to communicate with the Streak I have to reinstall everything.
So I tried installing StreakMod, and that also failed. Is there, somewhere in a post, the exact way to install StreakMod? Maybe I can make it work on someone else's PC...
I thoght there was a fastboot for MAC. If so, can you use it to push the recovery?

The android sdk has a version of fastboot I believe.
Edit: I DLed the mac version and do not see fastboot there. I found a mac version on this page, but I have no idea if it will work with the Streak.

I was trying to install Cyanogenmod 9 earlier and updated my CWM. Now I can't get it to view anything on my SD card and I have no ROMs on my internal, what do?

what did you update on CWM?
cant you mount your phone thru cwm, to be seen on your pc to copy a ROM over to install/flash?
Are you still trying to install CM9?
if all else fails you can use one of the "one click to stock" then put cwm (i use touch), then put a ROM to flash on...

Just because your in recovery and no roms show in your files doesn't mean your stuck. Just hit reboot system now and it'll take you back
Biggest dog on the block, NOTE!! ICSed AOKP
also you can try to mount the SD while in recovery then hook up to pc via usb cable and copy the ROM
note i haven't checked CWM recently so the option to mount SD might no longer be there

That would be the dumbest thing to remove...It's in mounts and storage...like always
I was recently in the same boat.
It all else fails you can use Odin to push a kernel or rom or what ever. This assumes you can get into download mode.
How can I push from ODIN please? I am looking but not sure.

I just did this to my phone. I flashed the new CWM on from Rom manager and then booted to recovery. I cleared all the sys data and caches to flash a new rom and then none of my system files will show up and my phone also wont go into download mode. Kies and my computer wont recognize my device now that im stuck in recovery either. No idea how im going to fix it....

I am really stuck.
Tried to root, looked good.
flashed CWM... looked good.
Tried to flash CM9...
whoa.... things went pretty weird.
Now, I cannot get sdcard mounted, or formatted.
I guess I had a corrupted .zip file, but now how do I get the file onto the phone. (ATT Note without external SD)
And now... I cannot even browse to a zip file to install in CWM... bounces back to menus.
Please help?

Go into download mode on your device by holding the volume down and power at the same time. Then use odin on your computer to flash a stock rom or use the emergency recovery method.

I've been searching XDA and Google for months now and I haven't found anyone else with this precise issue. I'm very tech savvy, but this is just beyond me! What say you? Will you help me in my quest to diagnose my device and possibly find a cure?
Listed below is what occurs when the USB Cable is connected, either via PC or the Wall.
While USB Cable is disconnected:
Pressing or holding any of the buttons, together or individually, does absolutely nothing. (But the battery can't be dead. I've had the thing on charge all night!)
When USB Cable is connected:
http://youtu.be/J8FJSo_S7cQ
Without pressing anything, the device powers on into download mode and continues to reboot itself every few minutes.
Holding the power button (or all buttons together) reboots it back into download mode to repeat what I just described above.
Pressing any/all buttons at this point does nothing.
When I disconnect the USB Cable from the device while in Download Mode, the device shuts off after about 20 seconds.
I have seen this on occasion, but nothing different happens:
(I'm aware this means forced download mode.)

I'm able to use Odin completely normally and flash anything successfully as well. Yet it just reboots back into download mode. And if I leave it alone while connected to my PC with Odin up, this is what it looks like:
I've "successfully" installed Stock ROM, Kernel and PIT files. Nothing changes! I've also tried one-click unsoftbricker, heimdal, calling it names, begging it to work. Am I crazy or...is this thing done for?
Have you tried repartitioning it?
By clicking that check box in Odin? Yes.
Ah, you must've hardbricked your Galaxy.

You need to flash a ROM that has boot loaders in it...
When you use the unbrickable resurector, it flashes a boot loader that always boots to download mode. From download mode, you can flash a FULL rom, that will replace the boot loader. Then it will boot normally.

That would make sense but which ROMs would those be?
This is a Russian ROM but it should have boot loaders.

Let me know how it goes...
Downloading now. I'll have to try it tomorrow on spare time. Really hoping this works. Thanks for giving me some hope, I really thought this thing was done for!
It's not hard bricked... that ROM will restore it. But after you flash that rom , you'll need to flash a different Rom for your region...

I never even heard of a "Full" ROM before. The problem I was having was apparently my bootloader - or lack-there-of.
You saved my Galaxy Player's life! Thank you very much!
I'm happy to say that this case is closed!
I am going to favorite this thread. You never know when you'll need some good info like this.
Ironically, my GP just managed to softbrick -_- I may be f'd.
Edit: Thankfully, I managed to fix it. Whew!
Heya,

You could try a usb jig to get into download mode then use volume buttons to reboot phone ( but I don't know if it would boot to recovery again) or you could try flashing another recovery twrp,philz etc while in download mode.... I'm not too sure if adb works in download mode but you could also try that.

Hello, I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school. This is the first time I have modified the android os. The community on xda has been really helpful and knowledgeable. I have created an account to see if anyone else has done the same thing I have. Anyway read below for my post.
I am trying to change the recovery on my phone to twrp. Let me start out by saying I rooted my phone before on build number 130 (KIW-L24,Android 5.1,EMUI 3.1,C567B130,United States, Channel-Others). I used the instructions here and it worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190.
I then decided to update through the huawei updater to build number 151 (KIW-L24, Android 5.1, EMUI 3.1, C567B151, United States, Channel-Others). It eventually got to a black EMUI menu with installing 0%. So I powered it off even though it warned against it. So my phone was bricked so I followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/bricked-honor-5x-t3328308 and my phone worked again.
Okay so now I want to root my phone so I follow the instructions for rooting. Problem is that I can not replace the EMUI recovery with twrp recovery. I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update.
I use these commands on adb with the twrp_kiwi.img in my adb folder(named .android by default)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
So I wanted to see if I could put the old firmware back so I followed the instructions for bricked device. But the fastboot commands don't seem to do anything with the .img files.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
Yea so I am lost as to why fastboot commands arent working as it says finished and any advice would be appreciated.
Also is it possible to format the phone similar to a pc and use adb to flash the firmware back on.
I want to eventually backup my phone and put cyanogenmod on it.
... I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to flash what you want.
Have you tried reinstalling the Android device drivers on your PC?

And as you felt need to mention "I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school.", you should know first University mission is to teach you to search and exercise by yourself, to do things step by step and to guess by yourself what was wrong. ^^
Just one tip and advice : read up your own post carefully and you should find out what you've done wrong...

TWRP works just fine on B151
plug in usb / Shut down the phone
boot to the bootloader (power + vol down)
open command prompt on PC
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
hold volume up + volume down + power till you see TWRP (about 14 seconds)
In TWRP choose reboot / recovery
Say yes to Root
recovery will reload / flash your rom
If you want to return to Stock use this >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995315154
instructions are in the zip
Hello friends, I hope you are well. I am writing to everyone to see if anyone can help me with this big problem.
Yesterday install the Rom Pixel Experience, all good, all the steps to perfection and others, had microSD at that time so flash the boot.img by Fastboot. It seems to install the Boot.img in the Recovery TWRP partition, or something like that. Because I do not have the Recovery either, when I try to go to the recovery, the window "Bootloader Unlocked" appears, but it does not take me anywhere, only to the boot of the rom, it is something very strange and the truth scares me. I clarify: I can not access the Fastboot, nor the download mode, nor the recovery, because it does not.
There will be another way: ????
PLEASE IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME, FIND ANOTHER METHOD TO ENTER THE FASTBOOT OR DOWNLOAD MODE, THE SOLUTION THAT WORKS WILL PAY ME WELL TO THE PROPONGA, PLEASE, I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE MY MOBILE, I BUY IT WITH A LOT OF EFFORT.
Last night I dawned on the boot logo, until it was completely downloaded and at this moment it continues to do so ... By GOD!
When trying to enter the Fastboot or download mode, it takes me here:

I can not access Fastboot, nor download mode, nor recovery, because it has disappeared. There will be another way to enter the Fastboot or download mode, because the phone actually woke up until I wake up today and was even charged. PLEASE.
Hey, sorry for your sad state. Following process worked for me when I got stuck yesterday like that.
1. Connect your phone to PC ( make sure adb/fast boot is setup)
2. Hard reboot your phone with power plus volume down button.
3. As soon as your phone turns off, press volume down only and keep it pressed till you enter fastboot.
4. After this phone should be recognised in PC and you should be able to boot in TWRP using fastboot.

Hope this works for you @Yeriorlando. @gimpy1 had a similar issue when installing Havoc ROM. Part of the problem seems to be when installing the custom kernel?
gimpy1 said:
It was operator error (generally is) on my part, I'm sure. The only thing I did different that I can remember is installing the 9.0 boot image in twrp differently. I installed it in the recovery option first (intentionally, should not have), instead of ticking only the boot choice. I did not untick the recovery option (should have never ticked it in the first place, but I was trying to correct a problem on the ROM, and misread a post).

Thx, Chaz. I pulled out my printed instructions from your post, and once I was able to get my device recognized (that did take a couple of tries), reinstalling twrp was pretty easy.

IF you still can't after the suggestion at top, maybe @SGCMarkus or @runningnak3d have some tips?
Unless you have an H932, then if you get the error that: "Your device software can't be checked for corruption" then you have fastboot. It is literally impossible to have that message on a WTF rooted phone and NOT have working fastboot.
So, as @ZestyManu said -- make *sure* your phone is powered off. If you have to let, the battery die. Then hold vol down + plug in the USB cable (no need to touch the power button) and you will enter fastboot.

Thank you all. I have solved the problem in a super crazy way, to pure ADB, not fastboot .... Pure ****ing adb ... Hehehehe. Thanks to @ChazzMatt
