I'm not exactly sure what happened, I installed the recovery and then tried to load a ROM, the rom didn't work so the recovery aborted it. Now I can't use my phone other than in recovery mode, when I start it I get a bunch of coloured blocks show. Is there a way to flash a bin without actually having the phone on as normal mode, will the acer tool work if i enable the usb from the recovery?

I have a Mytouch 3G running test 7 on my phone, and i just installed the clockworkmod rom manger. After, installed it i wanted to flash a new rom, so flashed the clockwork mod recovery, and when i tried to install the new rom from the sd card, it keeps on getting stuck on the mytouch screen, and nothing happens. How do i get into the recovery screen? thanks
First: This belongs in Q & A !!!!111
Which ROM did you flash? Maybe you had to wipe before
right now, i'm running cyanogen test-7, but when i go into the clockworkmod rom manger app and pick the flash rom from sd card, it just says it has to go to the recovery, and then my phone will reset and it would just get stuck on the mytouch screen. So, i just pull out the battery and reset the phone again, and i realized if i press the end button, it will go the rom that is already on the phone. I'm i suppose to push some buttons or something to get to the recovery screen?
No it should flash the rom you select and reboot the phone to boot the new rom without keypress needed.
maybe the wrong device was selected when downloading the recovery image? Try reinstalling clockworkmod recovery from rom manager.
Mod edit: not dev related, moved to q&a
I have the same problem.
I downloaded and installed Rom Manager from the Market and it has completely screwed up my recovery (I can't get into it at all). I tried flashing Amon's again (through Rom Manager) and it still doesn't work.
HTC G1. CM5.07 test 7 (trying to go to stable!).
Your recovery has been corrupted, you will need to flash it through fastboot.

Connect to your PC via USB, and from the command line issue "fastboot erase recovery" and then "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
More on common fastboot commands here can be found on these forums, i'm not allowed to post links.
i connected my phone to my computer but nothing on my computer pops up. only the new hardware wizzard pops up. what do i do from here? im i suppose to get a adb popup? how do i set up the fast boot? i'm so confused..thanks

Can I sugges that you try this sticky thread at the top of this forum board.
It contains all you need to know on who to set up fastboot and how to use it - there are a couple of tutorials on it if you read through the thread.
CM 5.0.7 for Dream/Sapphire introduced a bug in flash_image. It causes recovery flashes to fail. It has since been fixed in the latest test of 5.0.8 I believe.

I REALLY NEED EVERYONES HELP

i tried to apply the jp5 firmware zip, but it had an error. could not read package data.
i should point out im using oclf.
then this morning i tried to flash the kernal via odin. it was stuck in zImage. i pulled the plug, and then i tried again. i got and error, cant read file, error on line 1044.
Now i cannot access recovery mode, but download mode is still working.
This afternoon, im planning to flash jpk, via odin. i fear this wont work.
When i power on, this logo comes up that shows a phone and computer, with a error symbol between them. This also occours when i try to access recovery mode.
I have made a backup.
please, please can any one help me.!!!!
Good afternoon, I am currently running a 7310 and have tried everything to try and unbrick my device. The only thing I can do is get into download mode and can flash everything in there. I have tried stock ROMS, stock recovery, added a p5_0614.pit file, added the proper bootloader......however I consistently get the SAMSUNGTAB8.9 logo hanging and doesn't go any further. If I try recovery with stock or CWM it just simply goes to a blank screen. If I use TWRP then it launches but it cant find E: it won't mount Data just system. APX is recognised and NvFlash works but from there I have no idea where to go.
Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
Hi everyone. I have a problem I can't seem to resolve. I tried updating to the OTA jellybean update a couple weeks ago, it seemed to go ok. I then tried to go back to an earlier version of eclipse rom I was using. Now when I power on the phone I get AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure). I can select normal boot and it will go into my ICS Rom that I have loaded in slot 1 after going thru my safestrap recovery program. So the phone is not unusable, just very annoying to use. My question is, how can I get the fastboot flash mode flash failure warning to not show up every time I reboot the phone? I've tried loading the Stock JB Rom from verizon, Blur_Version.6.7.246.xt875.verizon.en.us with RSD Lite, but when I try to extract the files with RSD, I get the error "Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing." I just want to be able to get a stock rom back on my phone, without any errors when I boot it, I don't care if I have root, safestrap, or anything else, I just want a properly working phone. Any suggestions how to get rid of the boot flash failure warning? Thanks!!!! Richard
Update.... Looks like I really screwed it up now. Tried to rsd lite a JB rom, got about 1/2 way, to copying system image, then hung up. Now when I reboot, it won't even go into recovery or normal mode... Stoopid operator malfunction..... Any suggestions on which rom I can try to install via RSD Lite to help get it back going? It will still go into AP fastboot mode.
He's dead, Jim. Nothing is working, no rom will load, they either fail or hang up. Now both of my batteries are dead, and it won't even try to do anything. Any suggestions?? Guess I'm in the market for another phone. Maybe some of the gurus on here have some advice. Thx.
He's alive, Jim!!!!!

Thanks to some other posts on here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236980 I tried installing the system and preinstall img files manually thru moto fastboot. They seemed to hang up after a few minutes, but I tried to install the files anyway. Afterwards, I was able to get into recovery mode and do a system wipe and reinstall the JB rom that I had on my SD card. Now a couple hours later, I got the pageplus 4g issue fixed again, and just finished rooting it with the tutorial on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256439.
You guys are awesome! Thanks for all your hard work.
I have a Samsung SIII mini, Latin version (i8190L) and use it with the Virginity Rom, since the version 8, updating everytime a new one comes out.
Never had a problem whatsoever. I flashed the recently out Virginity V12 with aroma installer just to update. I backed up everything so I could make all of the wipes and then flashed it as new. The thing is that I chose the Honami Xperia Keyboard and I didn't like it because it was working somewhat buggy. So I tried (after just a couple of days) to reboot to recovery, to reflash the rom, just using the traditional S4 keyboard. To my surprise. I couldn't.
I can't boot to recovery, I can't boot to download and the bootloader seems to be locked as well. When finishing the installation and rebooting the device just after v12 was installed, the recovery gave me as a final option if I wanted to disable recovery boot, to which I chose no.
I tried rebooting using the button combination, but everytime I do, it just boots normally, as if I only had held down the power button. I tried also to use the built in reboot menu, which has an option to reboot to recovery or download, and either of them had success.
I don't know what to do, I don't want to be without recovery or download mode, in case i need them. Is this some kind of brick? the device is working perfectly, all of the apps work, and the ROM works fine, so I can fully use my device.
Also, I read on a previous post of a person who couldn't get into recovery but could get into download, he was told to delete the system file "install-recovery.sh" and then flash romracer's recovery via fastboot. I did delete the file, but fastboot did not work for me, it just kept saying "waiting for device" however my phone was connected and USB debbugging active.
Can you please help me?
Also, sorry if my english is bad, not a native speaker, and sorry if I'm too "noobbish" i'm relatively new to this stuff.
