Try wiping the "misc" partition while in CWM: Boot the gTab into recovery mode, connect the USB cable to it and run adb on the PC:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell erase_image misc[/B]
(You may have to wipe the "bootbmp" partition, instead, on some gTabs, because those 2 partitions have switched places on them.)
Edit: Or, use the attached zip file to erase "misc". Just "install" the zip file as usual using CWM.
Edit2: As to why this "always boots into recovery" happens, see this post.

rajeevvp your are magical man!
Everytime I get in trouble I search for a solution and find, that you already solved it :-D
Same here.
After moving to BL 1.2 I used "reboot recovery" in advanced menu of CWM and got into boot loop.
I tried nvflashing new boot.img and also recovery.img, but in vain.
Erasing misc partition magically helped ;-)
THANKS!

It isn't magic--just details gleaned from reading the CWM code. If it were magic, it would be mysterious, and therefore, less interesting, wouldn't it?
The misc partition is used for communication between the ROM/kernel, the bootloader, and CWM; and if the tablet is going into recovery mode everytime, then logically, wiping misc should fix things. However, I couldn't test this scenario on my gTab because of my switched misc/bootbmp partitions: if I select "Reboot Recovery", CWM would just erase my (first) boot splash screen instead of going into a boot loop.
The various other versions of CWM have these minor sorts of bugs and irritations. The recently posted CWM-4.0.1.5 is the least annoying and it is what I will be using from now on. It a) understands my switched misc/bootbmp partition, b) "Reboots Recovery" w/o boot loops, and c) does USB mounts correctly.
Thanks for telling me that the technique worked. I've suggested it on other threads, but, this is the first time a user has told me that it fixed their problem. Most often users will just use nvflash--unnecessarily, and superstitiously--instead of waiting for the correct solution.
Im having the same problem, stuck in Clockwork. I dont see any option to 'wipe Misc partition. I also can't find a command line where I could enter the command 'C:\> adb shell erase_image misc'.
How do I wipe out that partition from Clockwork?
adb quick install

This is FANTASTIC! It absolutely fixes the CWM loop - and it is simple! (Once you have ADB working on your computer.)
I thought that I had read somewhere (but I cannot find it now) that you only needed ADB and FASTBOOT to run simple ADB commands. Is there a SIMPLE install for ADB? For Windows & for Linux. That would be even more fantastic!
I would like to provide that to my readers who accidentally do the "reboot to recovery" when them really mean "reboot system now." That simple error is what causes the CWM loop.

FASTBOOT does not apply to the gTab which uses a different, and proprietary, bootloader. To run ADB commands you just need the adb binary and its (standard) libraries.

As I mentioned above, on Linux, you just need the adb binary. You don't have to install the entire Android SDK. I don't use Windows, so I don't know much about ADB there, but, I suspect that even there you would only need the exe file, its libraries and the Google/VS(?) USB driver.
EDIT: adb installed, but not configured with the USB driver before stuck in my CWM bootloop and adb never recognizes the tablet, whether its in cwm, mounted or in apx mode. does anyone have any suggestions?
any suggestions?
i think i need to nvflash. unabvle to get drivers installed since my device wont boot, so cant configure adb to work correctly
Im running into this as well. I got the Android SDK installed but ADB says that no devices are attached. Windows recognizes the Tegra 2 device when its mounted fine. It appears to be using the microsoft driver though. I attempted to change to the "android_winusb.inf" driver, but it wouldnt let me install/change it. I am running Windows 7 64bit if that matters in regards to the driver.
Try nvflash if you're having problems with adb.
Thanks. nvflash says no usb device found though. I tried it with and without 'mount usb storage'.

Try the CWM-flashable zip file in post #3 of this thread.
That worked great, thanks!!!
This fix worked great! Much better than nvflashing and reinstalling everything.
Thanks.

I could really use a little more direction on this... I've finally gained access to mt tablet bymounting the USB storage command in CWM. I have this zip file on my desktop, not sure what to do from there...
Pleaase help!
well decided to install some custom roms. installed recovery via adb wiped phone. forgetting we cant mount usb. so i went to push it via adb. " "waiting for phone" once i got passed that error i go to use adb sideload. well once i put abd shell. in the command prompt. and hit abd sideload in twrp. it disconnects from pc for a second then comes back. but knocks me off abd shell. i am having trouble pushing a rom to my phone now. which is completely wiped. im stumped at this point
well fixed. after getting some good rest i tried another method. it seems the updated adb. does not allow to you to be in adb shell and inititiate the adb sideload command via twrp or cwm. you can now do it normaly "adb sideload xxx.zip inside of being in adb shell command menu first. just a heads up for anyone who got stuck like me
your old rom should still be there if you reboot, you'll have to set it up again, but then just copy the rom you want to use back to the phone, unless of course you wiped /system as part of your procedure.
If you did that, and you didn't create a NANDROID backup before wiping or attempting to install anything, you can boot to bootloader and install cwm recovery from sk8trwithskil, It for sure supports adb mode from recovery
from that recovery you can adb push your rom to the sd card
adb push /rom.name.here /sdcard
then you can install the rom

Yes fatherrrrr. i have one lol
I am in a situation similiar to what you were in, but I don't have any adb support in Recovery, I cant mount usb at all in any of the 3 recoveries either, I did have ADB within the phone before I had my accident... I've even reinstalled the android sdk and rebooted, done everything I can think of but I'm running out of ideas now. I've reinstalled the drivers found in the tool thread as well, although I used the ones the came with the phone the first time. Any help?
I had the same problem and tried everything, was just about to throw in the towel and by accident tried you last thing and I fixed it. This is so easy your going to kick yourself, hope it works for you. This is what I did… 1-download HTC One All in one toolkit (I know most of it doesn’t work but this will) Once opened and extracted (On your desktop) right click it and run as ADMIN. 2-click FLASH RECOVERY and install TWRP. 2-in Commands click ERASE CACHE . 2-In Extras click ADB SIDELOAD A ROM (I know you have tried it and it never worked in the past but by ERASE CACHE it works) When you run ADB SIDELOAD A ROM you just need to follow the instructions.. Good luck
Wiping system data and factory reset doesnt wipe memory card since we don't have a separate card?

Yup. A goon like me did it last week. I've tried everything and can't fix it. But the post above yours I will give it a go when I get home. Hope it works. Then I'll have 2 devices since I had to get another One

abd sideload works fine in cwm and twrp. but being the dummy I am was late. and didn't realize. that the updated adb.exe.... command is adb sideload xxx.zip you not longer have to do adb shell first. and when I was doing this is was kicking me out. of adb. or get yourself a otg cable and use that via twrp
OTG cable? I've heard it but don't know what it is
Also I couldn't get any adv commands to work. Can't get anything to mount. Other than cache.

you can do without if you can get your sideload working. if you cant I would spend the 2 bucks or so on the cable load the rom on a usb stick plug in and flash to revive your phone. adb sideload works great here. but I use otg cable for ease of use
That's what happens when I try to sideload. Nothing will mount. Guess I'll order and OTG and see if I can mount external/sd
Also every time I try to sideload it freezes my laptop.

did you trying formatting those partitions? or get stock recovery and do a factory reset in Hboot? what steps are you taking to sideload?
i was in twrp menu and i suddenly click the format data, after that everything was wipe, and every time i reboot it goes back to twrp menu, and i cant do anything from the phone stand point anymore, i was trying adb sideload, and when i type, adb devices in command prompt, it see's my phone and it says recovery, but when i go to the twrp advance and click adb sideload, and i swipe to sideload, it always says adb sideload failed, thats why i cant dig deeper because everything in the twrp menu has now become useless after i stupidly click that format data under wipes, i dont know what to do anymore, where should i start? please help everyone pleaseeeeeee

Download a ROM, put it in a sd-card, put the sd-card in your phone, install from sd.
Smack that thanks button If I helped!
Always make a nandroid backup before trying anything risky.

I did the same thing yesterday, as it was my first time using TWRP (always been a CWM guy), All you have to do to fix it is go into advanced and go into adb sideload, put your rom in you adb folder and run this command
adb sideload nameofzip.zip
Then the zip will be placed in internal storage named sideload.zip and you can flash it.

I would try to plug in the USB after your already in recovery.
If you cant get that to work you can always buy this:
https://shopmeenova.appspot.com/st/order.html
its a microusb to microsd its a good worst case and will get you up and running.
do you still have the rom that errored out on you on your internal storage? if so you can always try a fresh wipe and try to install again.
Hi, i recently got new phone and manage to break it in few hours trying to install cm-11-20140130-NIGHTLY-enrc2b and forgot to do nandroid backup.
I want to go back to stock rom but i can't figure out how to do anything.
After i cut my sim card to mini size i don't have any other phone to use with it so i need to fix it asap. Please anyone help.
Flash the boot img in fastboot . Just google how to flash fast boot. The boot is located in the rom zip . Or try to run the latest ruu specific for your phone

You have a custom recovery installed , i suppose..TWRP? you should ADB sideload a custom rom. If you have international or AT&t version both are available in the Rom sections(http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x2/development?nocache=1) . Before doing sideload erase all.
Goodluck.
I have CWM installed now, tried to install from sideload but didn't work, "error: device not found" or "device offline"
Installed TWRP and adb sideload don't work anyway. Or wait, it worked. Sending now.
After installing, i press Reboot System and "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" warning shows up. After rebooting i'm back to start.
Just tried to install other custom rom and still phone won't go past that screen.
ok stop
breathe
sideload a new rom on twrp (is a pain) it will never flash 1st time
once it's "sideloaded" you can install a zip called sieload.zip under the rom install menu.
MAKE SURE you wipe
data (not storage) system and cache
INSTALL the rom
fastboot flash boot boot.img in the bootloader
reboot
adb shows up "error: closed"
adb shows up "error: closed"
used adb kill-server and start-server and error gone
And still does not start, stuck at white htc screen.
