Okay so I went from onyx 4.2 to a nandroid backup of bionix findal. Then since the backup was a 2.1 rom I flashed a 21 kernel then I rebooted and its stays at the vibrant screen and keeps going into recovery when I hit reinstal packages it takes me back to stock recovery not Cwm. So what do I do from here
Hit refresh packages again. Sometimes it takes more than one time.
Same thing happened to me, I ended up using odin....again. Thank god for odin

If you cannot get into CWM recovery, than most likely you will have to Odin. If you know how to use adb, then adb the CWM update.zip onto /sdcard and select re-install packages from the normal recovery. If you don't know how to use adb, then you can either learn or follow the directions in this post on how to use Odin. You might want to learn Odin anyways as it is extremely useful if you softbrick without access to recovery.
Here is a couple of methods to get into download mode. Once you get to download mode, follow the directions at the end of my post...
First Method
1) Pull the battery, sim card, and sd card.
2) Reinsert battery but do not press any buttons.
3) Plug into usb that is connected to your computer. If something shows up on the screen (charging logo) then you should be golden.
4) Hold the vol up, vol down, and power until the screen comes on, immediately release the power button but not the other two. Hopefully it will boot into download mode and than you can use Odin to get back to stock.
Second Method
1) Another method that seems to work for some people is to pull the battery, sim, sd card.
2) Reinsert battery and hold both volume buttons but do not press power button.
3) Then plug in usb. The phone should boot into download.
Third Method
1) You will need the samsung ADB drivers installed for your phone and ADB.
Samsung Drivers for 32 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...=SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe
Samsung Drivers for 64 bit Windows: http://files.androidspin.com/downlo...ung/vibrant/&file=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip
2) Remove sim card and sd-card. Remove the battery.
3) Hold buttons vol up, vol down, and power.
4) While holding down those 3 buttons put the battery back in and keep holding all 3 buttons until the vibrant disappears and reappears. Once it reappears, release all 3 buttons.
5) Now connect your phone to your pc via USB cable.
6) Open a cmd prompt and navigate to the folder with ADB and type "ADB REBOOT DOWNLOAD" caps are not necessary.
7) Your phone will reboot into the download
Download the files in the linked thread and follow the directions there or the ones in my post below.
Odin and Files Needed Available Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
1) Open Odin and verify that one of the Com ports shows a device connected. If it doesn't try using a different usb port.
2) Load the .pit and pda files. It should be pretty obvious how to do that once you are in Odin.
3) Make sure that the option to partition is unchecked. The other two options should be checked.
4) Hit start and wait.
5) Your phone will restart when Odin is done and you will be good to go.

Glad I could help you out. Just make sure you keep all the files on your computer in case you have to do it again. I had never had to use Odin until recently. Then I had to use it three times in one day.
i rom my htc incredibles(rooted) with sense 3.0 rom with rom manager... it reboot and stuck on loading i on bootloader to restore and it does not work after that i factory reset ,but i still cant on my phone
can someone help me pls ..i'm so dead if my mom found out
ALRIGHTY so what you need to do is turn your phone off completely, if this requires a battery pull, that take out the battery and put it back in. Then hold the volume down button, and the power button, hold them until your phone starts, then use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery, this reboot your device into recovery mode, then choose reset phone/factory default. Let it run, then, mount disk drive in recovery, download this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191936 place it on your SD card, then install zip from sdcard, that should flash, the new ROM onto the phone, and you should be able to boot let me know if you have any questions.
thank and nid one more help
how can i mount disk drive using recovery
I have a SGH-I717and it won't start when I put a charged battery in it it flashes the Samsung logo twice and then it goes black please help I really love this phone and really want it to work....
Most likely ur phone is in a loop mode.. Is the phone rooted?

Does it continually flash the Samsung logo? Like it's restarting it's self? If so, it could be a stuck power button. Going to need more information from you op to get any help.
As asked above, is it rooted? If so what else has been done? Please elaborate for us.

my phone have the same problem and its rooted~! when i tried to get into recovery mode and cant access~ also when i press volume down button phone will vibrate
May be a bad flash.
All this might work but I highly suggest the latest cwm so when I mention downloading a ROM and gapps, you might want to get a zip file of the latest cwm and flash that first using Odin.
1. Pull the battery
2. Put battery back in.
3. Hold down volume up and down and power
4. Let go of power button after phone vibrates once continue to hold volume up and down.
5. Should now be in recovery
6. Wipe and format everything internal card/external card (this will get rid of everything so if you need to mount as USB and back up pictures to a PC)
7. Mount as USB storage and plug into pc
8. Download custom ROM and gapps using IE
9. Put custom ROM and gapps into external SD folder on phone
10. Safely remove device on PC, right click internal or external SD drive in my computer and select safe removal
11. Select Unmount USB on phone
12. Install ROM then gapps
13. Hope this helps.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.......this is my first post but I have spent ALOT of time reading on here and i dont know where to go from here....I bought my nook Tablet from a friend and it came stock with 4.4.2. KIt Kat and somehow my son got my SD card that had my recovery and back ups on it and well to make a long story short, I went through a few endless boot loops, ROMS, sleepless nights on XDA and just about anything you can imagine untill it hit its 8th consecutive "loop" and here we are......biggest problem is though that I cant get into admin account on my computer sooooo....short of having to find a friends house to drag my kids off to to fix "Mommies toy" I really need some help if at all possible. My computer doesn't read this "new" nook because it was an Android the other day and I know what it feels like.....it was pretty hard having to wake up to a TOTALLY STOCK Nook from a 4.4 with TWRP and Paranoid Android.
Ps....if nothing else if anyone can point me in a real direction to reset my admin password on a HP running Windows 7 that would be great also, I would factory reset it but the settings require the password....its pretty crazy....Thank you in advance
Noob Mom :fingers-crossed
Does your SD card contain the CWM recovery and ROM backup and is still intact?
If so then you should be able to boot off the SD card into recovery (by inserting a powered USB into the NT while it's in power-off state) and and restore from back up.

Please forgive me but tell me exactly where and what I need to look for to make sure, I have a wifi file explorer opened up on my nook because I cant re-install the drivers on my Win7 pc because of the stupid ADMIN password. So can i just add\delete\move....whatever files necessary around to make it work or am i going to have to be able to connect it to my pc?? Also, when you say for me to just restore from back up, how would i do that because i cant seem to be able to boot into anything except Factory "N".
The process for restoring from SD card using SD-based CWM recovery is as follows:
Put the SD card into the NT, and boot from its power off by inserting a powered USB cable. Press and hold the N button as soon as CyanoBoot comes up to get the boot menu to display. Use volume up/down buttons to navigate, N button to select, and Power button to return to a parent menu.
Select "SDC Recovery" to load CWM recovery.
Select "Backup and restore".
Select "Restore from SD card".
...
Select "Reboot".

Gosh...I only wish it was that easy....I cant get it to the CyanoBoot menu anymore.....I guess the factory reset wiped it all off....and i have back ups and recoveries all over the place Im just not sure if everything is where it needs to be or if I just need to try and start over....if so, where should I start because most of the forums I have found are older and the links dont work.....

Do you have an sd card? Or usb drive with a usb otg connector? If so, (Not sure if cm recovery us close to twrp, but if it is) then you should be able to copy the data folder to one of those and then flash a new Rom and then copy and paste some of the directories. Orr do a nandroid backup if /data, and then flash a new ROM and restore that data backup afterwards. They would have to be the same Rom as you have now though
Sorry it took me so long. Next time quote me so I get a notification

Hold down a set of buttons (Not sure which ones for you, but force restart it and then switch to buttons to boot into recovery. Google the button combo )
How did you flash cmw recovery? Should be the same as that

I found this guide on how to flash twrp and root, you shouldn't worry about rooting until you get booted up first... As for the force reboot, I couldn't find out how to force power it off, so try some of the following:
- Take our battery (if there is a removable one)
- Hold down the volume down and power simultaneously for about 10 seconds (maybe less, maybe more)
- If there is a physical home button, try holding volume down, power and home. (Or volume up)
Once powered off (when the screen turns off, you maybe have to be quick before it restarts. If it does just re-power it off and try again) then hold down power and volume up to boot into recovery mode. You shouldn't need twrp if you can boot into cmw. But I do recommend it when we are finished...
You'll also need a custom (or stock) ROM to flash. I'll show you how to push to your phone with adb if mtp doesn't work in cmw.

Alrighty so if you have fill adb drivers than great, if not this should still work fine...
Download this: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298958289
Has adb in it, ignore all the root stuff. So extract the file to your desktop and open the folder. Put your ROM in the folder and name it something easy like rom.zip (important it's not rom.zip.zip)
When in the folder, hold shift and then right click inside the folder and select "open command window here" and then type "adb devices" and make sure something comes up with a ton of random characters. If nothing comes up (make sure phone is plugged in lol) then install your phone's drivers. Then try again. Next type this exactly as follows (if you names it rom.zip)
Code:
"adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
**NOTE the space between rom.zip and /sdcard**
This should take awhile, depending on how big the file is. You should see a pulsing dash in the left side of the command prompt. It will stop blinking and bring up a new line when done. Now go into cmw and flash the file in your sd card (rom.zip)
Going to sleep, I'll reply early in the morning before school

Root.bat is for Samsung yes, but adb is universal. We aren't worrying about root
Since you didn't have adb installed this is a lightweight version so you don't have to install it. This is just the file link I had on hand
