Hey, guys. I didn't know who to ask so i decided to post the question here.
I recently rooted my HTC Evo 3D GSM and it worked fine without any problems. After that, i downloaded a Rom. Worked fine, but it was missing wi-fi. I decided to download another rom from here, used the same steps as with the previous one, but it wont let me get out of recovery mod. Whenever i press the Power Button it shows me the logo of Clockwork mod and i just don't know what to do, i'm pretty new to this stuff.
I tried to reboot and start the device again normally, but i remembered that all the data and cache was wiped. I would like to hear some advice from you guys who have experienced this or know what to do. If there are some further details that you need tell me.
See you soon!

Pull out the battery, then put it back. Press and hold Volume Down button and while holding press and hold PowerButton. You will enter "Bootloader" mode. Wait for checking. After that, navigate with VolumeUp and VolumeDown to "Recovery" and then press PowerButton once. Wait and you will enter "ClockWorkMod" Recovery. Then, WIPE EVERYTHING (system/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache). Then go "Install from SD Card", install ROM from SD Card (one you downloaded). After that - Reboot..
I hope it will help.
are you s-on?if so you'll have to manually flash the boot.img file of the new rom through fastboot

Yes, i'm S-on, but as i mentioned before clockworkmod just does nothing when i try to wipe data/factory resets and cache partition. It just shows me the logo and nothing else. The version is ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0

I would suggest 4ext recovery. S-on with smart flash enabled will help when manually flashing the kernel
( Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )

Basically, I installed YogenTouch 1.5 after been riding the nightly cyanogen wave and having the phone crash during idle time. I wanted to try something new. Problem is that I can't install anything else with Clockwork and my question is simple:
How can I return the phone to its most basic state, with a gingerbread rom and a clean slate?
I tried flashing other mods, windows 7 is now telling me it should repair the usb whenever I connect it to the computer, I'd love to format and start the rooting process all over again, but I'm afraid I'll brick it.
Thanks!
If you install a rom like blayo, do you wipe your phone before you install?

i don't, i keep all my apps and everything, no cleaning of data or cache or dalvik.

Normaly if you change roms you have to wipe everything to have that fresh feel of the new rom
Try backing up your apps; I recommend titanium backup free, to be sure also backup true cwm, then wipe everything and then install a new rom
That should fix your problem
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
that's the problem, flashing won't work.. i get stuck in the clockwork mod recovery thing with the triangle and the upside down ! sign
looks like you need fake flash
Dude, if you had rommanager installed. The cwm recovery should be installed properly. But just in case you faild to get in to cwm recovery. Than at the red triangle with ! Sign. Press vol + and the power button. Than use the update.zip to access cwm. Rommanager will copy it's cwm as update.zip to your sd card when you installed it.

If you have it rooted with TWRP or CWM recovery on HBoot 1.4 or below:
1. Go into the Bootloader by holding down the Power Button + Volume Down Keys simultaneously
2. Go to your recovery and wipe your Cache, Dalvlich cache, Data, and System (feel free to explore your recovery if you can't find the wipe for System, I mean you already f'k up if your on TWRP its under wipe on 2.0 or advanced under the regular I believe)
3. Download a ROM on your computer
4. In the recovery, mount your SDCard to your computer / Mount Storage / Mount USB Storage
5. Put the ROM on the SD Card
6. Flash and clear Data and Caches
7. Reboot System / Reboot phone

No problem!
Once in awhile you should clear out your caches because they can get packed up and cause things to get "buggy".
Next time, download the ROM on your computer and use the Recovery to transfer it on to your device.
Downloading ROMs on your phone can make them corrupt.
Oh and if you like having a smooth experience and don't install very many apps, Wipe all of those partitions again whenever you flash a new ROM.
P.S. Always clear Caches when updating or flashing new ROMs!
I flipping love all you guys who helped truly i cant even express my thanks

on the recovery updater app which by the way is the controler if you oprn it up and look down about 5 spaces and you will see power menu press it and from there you can reboot into recovery and also bootloader and hot reboot and power off or you simply hold down the power button and there you will have the same option's
Hey guys i'm really nervous here so I need some help! I just tried installing CM10 on my phone I had rooted ahead of time using the zergrush method so I downloaded cm10 and put it on my SD Card. But once I launched now my phone is stuck at a boot loop. And I can't get to the recovery mode to reset it for some reason all it does is repowers the phone when I try it and launches the CM10 icon again.

Try to get into the downloadmode by pressing volume up + down + power button and follow here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659) number 2.
I could be wrong of course, but it sounds like you forgot to factory reset / wipe cache.
Did you follow these steps?
1. Root
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Factory reset/wipe cache
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Google Apps
6. Reboot
If you didn't follow those steps, it's not a big deal. Try to reboot into recovery by pressing Vol Up + Vol Down + Power like love4k21 said, and just follow the steps from number 3.

Hi,
I've been trying to install CM but I'm not able to go to recovery. This is what I've done so far:
1. Phone is LG -D620k, stock 5.0.2
2. Rooted (with NewKingrootV4.65_C134_B240)
3. Bootloader patched as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-m...-d618-t3127819
4. Used flashify to "flash recovery image" TWRP 2.8.7.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-m...-d620-t2990196
5. When I try to enter recovery mode (VOL DOWN + POWER, off when LG comes up, then VOL DOWN + POWER) I only get a screen with "Factory data reset". Selecting [No (Exit)] boots the phone. Selecting [Yes] followed by [Yes] boots the phone as well.
Any ideas, suggestions?
PS. I have also tried 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.5.0 and the result is always the same.
PS. Also tried rashr to program 3.0.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/development/unified-twrp-recovery-3-0-0-lg-g2-mini-t3311316 - with the same results.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Tomasz.
PPS. I posted this a couple of days ago in an old thread - but thought a new thread might be more visible.
You can't boot into recovery with hardware keys on the g2m afaik. You should boot your phone up, open rashr and reboot to recovery, or use adb.

Look for instructions on how to perform a hard reset on the G2 Mini. If you have a custom recovery installed, then it will boot into it.

So you don't have a custom recovery.
If you have installed a custom recovery then the stock recovery is wiped of your device, and thus can't be accessed.

When your phone is off, you hold the power button and vol- at the same time, untill you see the LG logo. Then immediately release and hold them again, this time until you see the factory reset menu. You confirm you want to do a factory reset, then confirm again. You'll see it will say for like a second "performing factory reset" or something like that, after which it will start Booting into TWRP. If you have adoptive storage it might take a minute or so to enter.
So, what is not working for you?

Do the steps that mobiusm said but sometimes is true that can't boot, for that before all that steps remove the battery and put it back again. If and that doesn't work then you definitely doing something very wrong.
