I'vs heard a couple people complain about this when flashing the hotspot hack with the synergy ROM. I would pull your battery and let phone sit for two minutes. Put it back in and boot into hboot using volume down and power button. Than go to recovery and restore whatever nandroid was working before.

Alright I just traded for a photon the guy told me it was stock and wasn't rooted. Well it was rooted and on 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198.6. The bootloader was locked though. I came tried to boot into recovery and there is no recovery there. I unlocked the bootloader and tried to install the bootstrap it worked at first but when I rebooted and tried to go back into recovery again there is none on the phone. So whats my best course of action? Use RSD go back to complete stock and start over or is there a fix for this?
i think you are mixing things up a bit, bootstrap is an app that launches a custom made recovery that is kinda like a livecd version of cwm. you have to unlock and then flash it in order for it to stick
I would double check to see if you still had root. if not, you have to re-root. then install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218417

I remember having the same problem. I just had to repeat some steps.

Just rsd to the latest sbf once booted go into settings . Then privacy. Then factory data reset. OK now power off. Turn on holding volume down an power once screen says fastboot, let go and press volume down til u see android recovery. Press volume up to start it. When the icon comes up press volume down and volume up at same time. Now you are in recovery do what u need in there and soon you will back to 100% stock.

Also can you clarify how you are trying to get into recovery? And what does happen when your perform the steps to get there?

I bought this phone a couple weeks ago, already rooted and on a stock rom , the radios and everything else is flashed for cricket.
My question is, how can I find out if I have an unlocked bootloader and a recovery installed?
May sound like a stupid question, but I'm still new for Motorola, so I'm not used to having a locked boot . My thinking is that it must be unlocked if the phone is fully flashed to cricket.
Turn the phone off and turn it back on. At the top it will say unlocked if it's unlocked. To find if it has a custom recovery turn the phone off and hold the volume down and power until you see fastboot. Then use the volume down button until you see android recovery then press volume up to enter recovery. If it goes to recovery you're good if not then it doesn't. But it will only have a custom recovery if it was unlocked before.

If you have CWM recovery you shouldn't have to hit up. You should be able to just hold power and volume down and it'll boot straight into recovery. :]
I want your phone

Download "Quick Boot" from the market, that's what I use.

There are a couple apps that will take you into recovery. I'm assuming you are rooted so you could use the app called Quick Boot (its in the market ). Its pretty simple and gives you the options to power down, fast boot, boot into recovery etc.

app called reboot manager works great. just hit recovery and it will take you strate into recovery with nothing else to do.
if you install this app, it will install a quick setting by long pressing the serch button or you can put a widget on your screen with every power/reboot option

has no one had any issues with quick boot? the first time i used it, i used it to boot into recovery (amon ra) and wipe cache/dalvik and then flashed a kernal. well, it didn't work, and i ended up having to nandroid restore. couldve been the kernal, though i have used the same kernal/rom combo countless times with no issues. that being said, i really think quick boot did something to corrupt some data. any ideas or experience with this? (evo 4g running mikg v3/anthrax kernal)

how would the reboot app have any effect on the kernel?

The app just does the equivalent of you doing an "adb reboot recovery" or choosing recovery from hboot, or anything else.
Once you're booted up running on your recovery partition, the quick settings apk file on your phone /data directory on it's phone partition aren't responsible for anything that happens.
I can assure you the issue was elsewhere!

I had an issue kinda similar like this and ended up having to flash the RUU through the bootloader. It is the stock firmware 605.19, and I had to reroot. It's a pain I know but it works

I to had to this at one point and it does work. I would first try to flash cwm in fastboot though. Sometimes that works.

My friend's phone tried to pull an OTA while he had CWM recovery installed, and it started boot looping. Had to download the stock recovery, name is PG05IMG.zip in the root of the SDCard, and force the phone to boot to the bootloader and install it. Once it did, the phone started up, rebooted itself, and installed the OTA fine. Sounds like yours may be trying to do something similar?
If so rooted phones need caches cleared for the ota to work.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
From my understanding, Rooted can still take OTA, but you have to have stock recovery to do it (as I witnessed earlier). You will lose root, and will have to re-flash recovery to TWRP, CWMR, or whatever your normal choice is, and then re-apply the su.zip, but otherwise easy as pie.

Stock recovery PG05IMG.zip http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/PG05IMG-Stock-Recovery.zip
Hello, first of all I would like to thank everyone who has posted in this thread to try and help out. I just started having a very similar problem- I'm rooted and running stock, but apparently my phone accepted an OTA and I'm stuck in a bootloop as well.
I got into CWM recovery and downloaded the stock recovery PG05IMG.zip, but it won't install. It just aborts every time I try to install it. I'm a noob at this stuff and not very good at dealing with these sorts of things and I've been having a panic attack for the past hour, so if anyone could help me as soon as possible I would really appreciate it.
I'm really scared of making things worse than they already are. I just want a working phone.

The zip won't work in CWM because it's not designed for use with CWM. It's designed for use in Fastboot. Should be on the root of your sd card. From off, if I'm correct (like this with other HTC devices), hold volume down and power to boot into fastboot. This will allow it to flash the stock recovery.

Right. I also have a recovery zip that installs the stock recovery if anyone wants it?
It can be found here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/61129367/OTARestoreAndRecovery.zip
(warning: I have tested it and it works but it did cause me a bootloop, and im assuming this is becuase im on a different rom - - - so not responsible for any damages)

So, I flashed the root, and tested and it worked.
I unlocked using the FreeGee 0.5 and everything worked fine.
I downloaded the Base 0.4 ROM and went into CWM. I installed a ZIP, selected the rom and started the install. I got the to screen that states that the phone is installing the base rom, but it just sat at 0.00% for over 5 minutes, and then i pressed the power button once thinking I had to start it, but now my phone will not start. I plugged in the charger and the power button just blinks red continuously!!?!!
I can get into Download mode by holding the power, and volume up + down buttons. but I can't get into recovery!!
I'm just going to goto the IRC room for help. Sorry for the post.
