What had happened:
I got a free tablet, decided to **** around with it....
so, i decided to use odin to flash TWRP recovery with it..
however.. when i try to get to recovery mode, it only shows a ! mark.
therefore, i tried to flash a rooted system image. it worked.
then, with my newly found rooted device, i tried to fix my recovery by
attempting to use cwm.... i pressed on to "boot to recovery", and now its
stuck on a infinite loop, booting to the ! mark. the only thing i can access is download mode.
so.. how do i fix it? feel free to ask any qns i will try to provide the infomation needed.
thanks.
Well, the problem here seems to be that you messed up with the boot or the system files, maybe your bootloader is blocked so you need root to flash a custom recovery or ROM and to unlock the bootloader, you should first check the CWM supported devices list before actually flashing Clockwork recovery!
Try to flash a full stock rom through fastboot mode.

My son, in all his wisdom didnt see a need for the custom recovery or nandroid. Except now his phone wont boot so I am unable to get an adb shell. It is stuck at lg boot screen. I can get to the stock recovery which is s-on apparently. I do have backups of the stock img files. system, boot, recovery, etc. He said he was trying to add a custom kernel to the boot img via adb when he encountered the problem. Is it possible currently to flash a new kernel and or rom via the stock recovery? I cant seem to get past the verification. Any help is greatly appreciated.....
Go to stickies on forum and you will see what you have to do.. you need KDZ updater and the stock image.. that's what worked for me..

Hi again everyone, Ive managed to brick my optimus s. It wont boot, charge, flash buttons or connect to pc. Is there any hope for my phone? If so, please share. Thanks
Hello. I am new to the forum. I have a rooted Samsung Infuse 4g. I am a bit of a noob so please bare with me. I began having problems with the phone after I did a factory reset. Everytime I boot the phone now it brings me to clockwork mod recovery . Everything is written in red. Iv tried to do a recovery from here and I tried installing the rom from the my sd card and have had no luck. I cannot get into download mode either. How can I get my Droid running again?
Thanks in advance
If you can get into fastboot mode, download the .img file of any custom recovery for your phone, then use Android Flash Recovery to flash it. This will replace your CWM with a working version, which you can then use to flash a new ROM.
Hi guys.! Well, there's a serious issue with my phone - it is running without recovery. Everything happened when I wanted to install a CWM recovery for updating a new ROM for my Micromax A54 Phone. I searched alot on "how to install CWM recovery on micromax" and also the ROM, and tried every step carefully. But, at the end, when I used Recovery Manager for installing the same, it rebooted the phone and gone! And even today, when I start RecoveryManager for purpose of fixing my phone's recovery, sometimes it restarts itself automatically and sometimes, if in case RecMan starts, it reboots while reflashing the Stock Recovery/CWM. I want to install a new ROM for my phone but for that, I need to have a recovery in my phone.
When I start phone into Recovery Mode, the Ninja logo gets stuck up there leaving phone in unstable state. All I have to do then is to restart my phone and try again! Till today, I have not found how to fix my phone and get a new ROM+CWM for it. Please help with this.
Thanks a lot!! :fingers-crossed:

So I'd been having some problems lately with my phone hanging on the Samsung screen on boot. Been running CM11 1/1/2014 nightly most recently. Decided to try using TWRP instead of CWM. That didn't seem to help my issue, so I tried installing CWM again. I used an app called Recovery Tools to download the touch version of CWM. After it said it installed, I tried to boot into recovery and got the error "Unauthorized software found. Please contact Verizon." (paraphrased a little).
Doing some research it looks like that error typically comes up when the bootloader is locked. Now, obviously I had my bootloader unlocked (well, Loki'd) because I was running CM11. Any help fixing this? I'm able to bypass the warning screen on boot if I hold down vol up + power like I'm going into download mode, but then hit vol down to cancel to boot up the phone. Once booted everything is ok, but any reboot just brings that up again. Using ROM manager to flash CWM recovery seems to work ok and it says its installed, but same issue. So does trying to flash TWRP from Goo.
If I were to run this tool that I used to root and loki before (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301720) to install a recovery, would I be able to get everything going again? I think that somehow the recovery I installed wasn't Loki'd, although I picked the right one for my device.
Thank you in advance for any replies.
The fix I found was by pure dumb luck. I ended up trying to flash a recovery with Odin. Odin failed but reboot back into the os. I then used the twrp manager app from the playstore (mainly because goomanager wasn't downloading the recovery at the time) to flash the latest twrp recovery and all was good. Even though Odin failed at flashing the recovery I still think it helped somehow. I haven't thought much about why but I might have to now.

You could probably try using ODIN to get back to stock MDK and then Re-Root and install a recovery after.
Edit: And then flash CM11 again.

Will this one-click stock ROM work?

or, which of the files on this page are what I would want? (about 1/3 of the way down for SCH-I545)

I was actually able to reflash TWRP w/ their app from the Play Store. Still get a lot of boot hangs on the Samsung logo though. Seemed to happen less with CWM, but now I'm too scared to try to install a different recovery. I appreciate all your help guys.
Good afternoon everyone! While I was trying to flash a new ROM on my phone with CMW Recovery, it failed and wiped out my phone, it wiped out my phone without installing the new ROM. I was trying to flash CM 11. So I tried my second attempt to flash the ROM, but I though I had to install CMW Recovery again. So when I tried to install the recovery.img file with Odin3. It wouldn't boot into recovery. So then I went onto the play store to install the app and to boot it into recovery from there. And boy did that mess up my phone. Now when I try to boot up my phone, its stuck on "Recovery Booting..." Basicly trying to reboot onto recovery. But after that, nothing happends! I cant do anything on my phone, nor boot into Recovery. So Im stuck with my phone completely useless.
May Someone Please Help Me!!! Im So Fustrated With My Phone! Cant Do Anything With It!!!
Thanks In Advance, Hope This Provides Enough Information.
