Did you try adb reboot bootloader?

Still trying to fix this I now have no recovery and just get the two icons wipe data and fast boot or it just keeps trying to load a Rom that isn't there so it sticks on the main logo screen if I could get it to show in windows that would be great but now I have no recovery I'm not sure how to even get it to install anything once I do !

As long as you have the fastboot logo, there should be hope. First, you will need to do whatever you can to get your computer to recognize fastboot mode. In order to do this, click on the fastboot icon on your prime and then plug your usb into your pc. What does windows say? Is the device showing in the windows device manager?

It shows up but then says failed to install driver will try it on different pc,s see if it works thanks for the replies seems fairly easy
Ive found on my device that it sometimes requests two different drivers. One for adb/fastboot, and one for mtp. I just cancel the one for mtp as they are not in the naked driver set, and windows then detects another different device.

okay fast boot is working and the android bootloader device shows in installed drivers but when i type in adb devices nothing shows up ?

Okay, you're half way home! The reason why nothing shows in adb is because fastboot and adb are two completely different interfaces. When in fastboot, your device will be expecting the fastboot command only.
Now what you will have to do is find a recovery that is in the blob format. Cwm would probably be okay. Twrp would be good, however the new version requires the nvflash version of the bootloader.
Once you find the blob of the recovery you want, place this in the same folder as the file fastboot.exe
It should be in the same place as adb. If not, place the blob somewhere easy to remember.
Then in a command prompt, type
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery blobfilename
If you placed the blob in the same place as fastboot, then the above will be the blob filename, or better would be to include the path as well.

1 word my friend,"FUBAR"!!You need insurance for things like that.Next time something like that happens,remove the battery and shake the excess water from the phone,then immediately blow dry it for about 1 minute,then drop it in a bag of rice for a day,it will soak up all the moisture in the phone.

Adb stands for Android debug bridge. It comes with SDK Manager. Download SDK Manager and type in adb reboot recovery in cmd. That will get you to recovery mode on your phone. You might have to go to the sd card folder on the computer and right click while holding shift and click "open command window here".
Here's a good overview on adb and how to set it up.
It REALLY helps during boot loops because you can replace system files or get into recovery or do other things if you are rooted with just a few commands.

Did you have android debugging enabled before this happened? If your computer can't install the drivers and you can't see it in the list of devices after adb then you may have not had android usb debugging enabled under development options.
My phone is from chinavasion it is galaxy i8550 WIN clone with lower specs it is mocor droid 2.0.5 with a fake jellybean speadtrum sc6820 it is rooted i connected the phone via adb and reboot into recovery i have stock recovery not cwm and i tried fixing it btw i meessed up my build.prop file but anyways i tried to fix it via adb and i got a permission error and i have a backup of my build.prop tho ...i just gave up and rebooted to recovery and wiped data/factory reset and ofcourse it didnt work but i lost my adb drivers i cant turn on usb debugging so i cant use adb and i dont know how to accesss recovery i keep ending up in the speadtrum factory test where u test phone hardware nothing else please help if u can altho i highly doubt it and also when i used adb to reboot in recovery and used a zip file it would say signature verification failed :crying::fingers-crossed: But i trust in xda please help even to give me the phone combination keys to recovery and that give me a zip that will be accepted PLEASE i only had the phone for a month

@BenDroid1
You can write the custom recovery to your recovery partition using dd in an android terminal emulator from the play store. You would need to know which partition holds your recovery.
For MY device (your partition is different) it would be as followed in the terminal emulator:
Code:
su
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/customrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 is the partition that holds my recovery on my device - yours will be different!
You can also use this method for the boot.img towards the boot partition as well as data to data partition, and so forth.
If you have CWM and you were smart enough to create a backup of your device, then I would write the custom recovery to your recovery partition, boot in to CWM, and restore your device with your backup. Then, reboot, plug device in to your computer, allow the computer to reinstall the drivers and hopefully at this point you should be able to establish connection with adb/fastboot again.

Because right here according to your quote you mentioned that you resetted your device, lost connection to your adb. Only time you can use ADB is when your phone is running. Only way you can confirm if you lost connection with ADB is if your phone is up and running, you open up command window on pc, then run 'adb devices' and if nothing returns then you have no connection. Otherwise, there is no way to confirm if you lost connection to it. So by your quote above, you made it sound like you got around your bootloop problem but could not connect with using ADB and no longer had CWM on your device.
Try to be more clear next time lol.
Have you tried using fastboot instead of ADB?

Your phone has a bootloader. You need to access your bootloader, select fastboot, plug your device in your pc, open up command window, then type 'fastboot devices'.
If you get your device serial number returned back to you then you have connection. If it returns blank, then you do not have connection which at this point I will not be able to help you.

Sorry, actually when I did it I accidentally wiped the system partition and this post helped me, not the previous one.
I didn't need to enable unknown sources or usb debug because there was no system to begin with. I hope it helps you.

Afaik you can't change/flash system via sideload.
As long as you can't get it into download mode I don't see a chance.
To be precisely: "adb reboot bootloader" isn't working?
