Hi all,
Let me start by saying I am no expert in any of this stuff.
I rooted my galaxy note, flashed Sauron Rom up to RC4 and was fine. And then I wanted to use Long press back key function, but this time, instead of "power off" first from the phone and "pressing volume down and up and power button" to access CWM recovery, I chose instead "Recovery" option to shut my phone and boot into CWM. Now, my phone keeps booting into CWM recovery mod no matter what I do with it. I erase/factory reset, wipe cache, delvik, even restore to old rom several times. However, every time I choose "reboot system now", it reboots then comes right back into CWM recovery mode. Please someone help this newbie out!!! PLEASE!!!

which version of Clockwork Mod are you using. I would use DA_g's rooted recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504647 to see if that stops the boot loops and then try to flash the latest beta 4 recovery from here after you get the phone stable again http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
I think you need to move this to the Q&A Thread for Saurom.
What bkeaver said. Make sure your using the latest CWM version. This is a dead ringer for the problems of the early version.

I was running full stock rom bootloader unlocked rooted and was having a problem connected to lte.. No matter how many restarts i did I couldn't get lte to work just hspa+. So I decided to via twrp install The Base rom over it since it is the only custom rom I liked for the phone and still had the same problem. I went back into recovery, wiped caches, factory reset then wiped system. Reinstalled the Base and that's when I bricked it. All of a sudden it doesn't boot. It will splash the lg logo the just go blank but still notice a faint backlight. The is somehow on but can't boot into anything....
How do I get back into the recovery? Maybe it would be a easy fix from there.
I'm also considering just going back to stock, unrooting and relocking the bootloader since I'm fed up with how unreliable tinkering with this phone is compared to any samsung device.... What is the most fool-proof method in doing this?
Any help is appreciated....
To enter recovery reboot in to the bootloader. (Volume up + Power). The you will get a black screen with some text. Press volume down twice then power. If you did it right you will be in the recovery. Now restore from a backup.
You really should learn to read. (1) Information to enter recovery manually is in the Feegee thread and (2) It says on the base's OP to NOT wipe system or you will brick.

i was wanting to flash my s2 back to stock from the omega rom for the i777 but I flash and it loads but it keeps giving me errors every time I do ive done this with three different stock roms I used odin 3 to flash the tar file can anyone help me I cant even use the phone or set it up
thanks
Enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
i cannot find a cmw or any recovery that works anyways to flash though odin do could u point me in the right direction
thanks
Assuming that you flashed back to stock as you said, you will have the stock 3e recovery. Boot into stock 3e recovery by holding down vol- vol+ and power until you see the recovery screen. Then select wipe data/factory reset. The phone will reboot and should give you a working system with no fc's etc.
Let us know if all is successful. After that, please describe what you want to do with the phone.

Hi,
I used Moonshine to successfully S-off my DNA. I planned to flash Viper DNA and as I couldn't find how to enter into custom recovery TWRP(installed through goo.im)I used option within goo.im to reboot into recovery.
Then I took a backup of stock ROM and went ahead to flash Viper 1.35 which I placed in the internal memory and booted into recovery.In the steps given, it was suggested to format Data before flashing. While I cleared System and cache partitions, I didnt clear data section as it had the VIper DNA zip and thought clearing data would delete entore internal memory.
No, my device is in a weird situation where Viper got installed over stock ROM and causing reboots immediately after booting up.Now, before I do anything the device is rebooting to Viper DNA boot animation screen. Not getting time to even shut down the device.
Can anyone please suggest me what to do. Once or twice I could get it to shutdown but dont know how to get into twrp. Please help me get into twrp and clear my confusion in erasing the data before flashing a ROM. Hope I'm clear. Soon, my DNA might be dead without battery. Desperately, waiting for help....
Update : I could finally switch off my mobile. Now, can anyone direct me to get into Twrp please?
You can always shut down by holding power for 10 seconds. This will cause another reboot UNLESS after it powers off you immediately let go of power then push power and volume down simultaneously. This will get you to bootloader and from there you can select recovery. Once you are in recovery I suggest a normal wipe which DOES include data. You can always select advanced wipe and choose which partitions you want to wipe.Your internal storage won't ever be erased but depending on the version of android, its contents may be available in a different root folder after flashing. This is only with 4.2.2 Roms apparently. Your stuff would be in root/data/media. If you are on an earlier version than it should keep everything intact.

Had failed in a few attempts in booting into bootloader in method you suggested. Will try again and get back.New to HTC, so taking time to adapt. Thanks a lot.
While your device is off, hold power and volume at the same time until you get onto hboot (white screen with multicoloured text). Use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery, and power to select it. Your device will turn off, then come back the the splash screen (white screen with "HTC quietly brilliant" and "Beats Audio" ) with the purple text at the top, "entering recovery". From here TWRP will load. Do an advanced wipe and select "data", "cashe", and "davlik". This will clear /data, but not /data/media, which is where your internal SD storage is. It will leave your internal storage intact. After wiping, flash as normal and reboot. It's good to let the phone settle for about 10 minutes after flashing before proceeding with the setup wizard. Profit.

Well I bought my HTC One Max and a ran out of internal memory but I couldn't move all my apps to my SD card but I needed more space so I decided to root it, so I could have superuser rights and force my apps to the SD, so I installed a custom recovery and installed superuser so everything was right so far but I wanted to remove the tampered flag to enable my fingerprint scanner, so I installed a unsecure kernel I found on a XDA developers post and my phone screen went pink then it rebooted but froze at the loading screen and I couldn't reboot it by holding the power button so I rebooted via adb reboot bootloader and selected reboot but then again froze at the loading screen and this time adb didn't deteced my phone so I had to wait until it ran out of battery then I charged it a 50% and booted into bootloader then selected factory reset but instead of doing a factory reset it took me to the custom recovery I had flashed and instead of having to wait until it ran out of battery I selected on the custom recovery to restore to a previous backup but then it said there was no backup when I remember doing one in the custom recovery so then I selected wipe and selected wipe everything so it wiped all the data on my phone and rebooted but it's still frozen at the loading screen. What do I do now?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

I'm trying to help you here. But first, did you backup your stock rom? In this case, I think your problem cause by the insecure kernel during the flash process. If your device stuck at boot screen, hold VOL UP + POWER BUTTON 10secs. Hold VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON, this will force device to boot into bootloader. If you have the backup, you can restore from recovery. That's option 1.
Option 2, you can try flashing custom kernel @ Lunar Max Kernel @
Keep me posted buddy.

Hey I fixed it by installing the stock ROM and kernels found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584231. Thanks anyway I reallly appreciate it. Now I just need to find a way to remove the tampred flag without messing it up.(But that's another story!)
Hey man, good to hear you're doing good. This thread maybe helpful removing temper banner. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2549104
I'm not exactly sure what I did, but I had a CM9/ICS ROM on the Bravo, but wanted to go back to CM7/GB, so I rebooted into recovery, and used TWRP to restore my backup. I did wipe caches and Factory Reset before restoring, so the restore process was insanely quick(11 seconds). Now when booting, it just shows the Motorola logo. Power button + volume keys take me to a either a Bootloader thing, or an exclamation mark/triangle with the Android thing.
I did not root the Bravo, I believe it was rooted and had CM7 when purchased(from ebay or something), so I'm kinda new to all this.
According to this, I can actually access recovery from the triangle thing using both volume buttons: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035778, but it's not the same one I used to install TWRP.
Will renaming a ROM to update.zip, and 'updating' work? EDIT: I've tried this and it aborts due to the ROM lacking 'verification'.
How can I get my phone working again?
