First off id like to say thanks in advance to any replies and also apologize if this has been posted previously (i searched and could not find anything that was helpful) I lurked around these forums when i had my x1 and im hoping you guys can be as helpful for me as you are for everyone else. anyway onto the issue
I used the superboot method to root my ATT US Streak. My intentions were to update to 2.1 following the steps in the "eclair working on my u.s. unlocked streak!" thread (wont let me put a link since its my first post)
after using fastboot to root the phone will boot up and function fine but recovery and fastboot no longer work. i tried flashing Koush's custom recovery and other things that require fastboot and the terminal just says "sending..." nothing happens no errors or anything, the cmd prompt just sits there and i need to remove the battery to reboot the device.
i then downloaded the Rom Manager apk from the market and flashed the clockwork recovery from there (it said i did anyway). when i load the recovery from boot (volume keys + power and its the stock recovery) and chose option 2 to flash modaco custom rom or even the stock dell rom it just goes to a black screen and i once again need to remove the battery to reboot.
the phone itself is still functioning fine when it boots up and everything works the way it should other than the home, menu, and back button lights flash in random orders, thats just annoying though. again any help is appreciated
so what should i try next?
EDIT: woke up this morning and now the device will not turn on. i tried starting to fastboot and recovery but still nothing. plug it into my pc and i get the "found new hardware wizard" for a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM.
first real brick? ha that would be my luck
EDIT 2: a kid just ran through my work, grabbed my phone and threw it on the ground. it screwed up the 30 pin connector on the phone and the charger. im going to hurt somebody. phone is booting again though... put sd card back in and still boots fine
SOLVED: Dont know the technical reasons behind it but i had to reinstall the drivers and switch usb ports for every fastboot and recovery procedure
removed SD card and its booting up normally. any thoughts?
I just got a galaxy note 2 not a day ago and I finally managed to root it, but for some god forsaken reason I didn't have a custom recovery. So I used casual thinking it would help me out, but when it was uploading the recovery it said it failed. I'm now in a boot loop and odin nor casual are recognizing my device in download mode. I can't get into recovery either. Please someone help! I'm about to have a nervous breakdown.

I used casual last night and it got me into a boot loop, and i had a breakdown !
Are you able to get into recovery at all? power phone off, then press and hold the Home button, Up volume, Power button *until recovery starts* dont let go when the device boots, keep holding.
After using casual the phone was able to go into TRWM or something (whatever recovery program it flashes). If you are able to get into recovery do a factory reset (not the advanced one) and your phone should work.
my phone boot loops after every flash and requires a factory reset, but still keeps the rom add.
I am thinking casual is not the way to root

Checkout this thread by Adam Outler called "DON'T ACCEPT OTA UPDATES" in the Verizon Galaxy Note II General section. I'm aware that you aren't experiencing this specific problem, but it should fix your boot loop problem. You'll need the two files that he makes available just below the picture. I've had others tell me that they used those files to successfully fix boot loops.

Adam has stated that if all you want is root, using CASUAL is like "killing an ant with an atomic bomb." CASUAL is for doing an irom unlock. In short, you get everything unlocked - recovery, bootloader, and root
Also as long as you read and follow directions, unlike most people are doing, CASUAL works perfectly fine.
Hi thanks for looking at my thread.
My phone was acting up so I rebooted it an then it was just stuck on the loading screen and i was like oh mo big deal so i shut it off and turned it ok again and it did the same thing... So i went into bootloader and clicked recovery like a normal human being and then at the too it said entering recovery... But nothing ever happens. I boot it it just freezes i load recovery it just freezes i click facory restore it freezes. My phone mecer connects to my computer for some reason even when i have adb but either way it was my source of internet so i cant download ruu or anything. I was using a venom rom im pretty sure the latest one and its the at&t model.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thanks.

Get into the bootloader and use fastboot. Get the HTC all in one tool kit and reflash either CWM or TWRP to try to get into recovery. If that doesn't work, leave it on fastboot and run the RUU from HTC.
Good day,
Was trying to install a new ROM on my TF201 and have managed to get it into a state that I'm unsure how to proceed.
I wiped data in TWRP - did a adb sideload of the files to try and install the ROM. Then it all locked up.
Only thing I'm able to get the unit to do is get to the teamwin logo screen but it flashes every couple seconds and never proceeds to the menu of TWRP.
I do have an adb connection but not sure what commands to run. I'm thinking I need to reinstall TWRP...?
I'm unable to get to the fastboot menu also.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello.
How it happened
I rooted my HTC One S, then flashed CyanogenMod on it. Used it for a few months, very happy with it. Then I tried to update - automatically, not manually (that was mistake number 1). The phone was then stuck in a bootloop into recovery. (Off>Recovery>Off>Recovery). I didnt know what to do, so I pressed 'Reset phone', or something like that. Since then, the problem has gotten much worse. Now there's a different bootloop: Off>HTC opening screen. That's it. Im desperately trying to access recovery mode, to flash a new ROM to fix the situation.
What did I try
1. Power + VolumeDown does nothing.
2. Installed the HTC One S toolkit. When pressing 'boot into recovery', it says 'device not found'.
3. Tried to boot into recovery from ABD tools, but it says device not found. I tried putting screenshots here, but XDA forum new user limitation doesnt let me. Anyway, if you add this to the imgur url, youll see the screenshots (sorry about this inconvenienace):

TL;DR
Phone is stuck in a bootloop. Cant access recovery. Is there any way to fix this situation?
Thank you very much in advance for your time to help me out.
