i dont know if this is in the correct section, but i REALLY need someones help. basically i rooted my friends phone, installed cwm recovery, and then i went to test cwm recovery to see if it was working ok,( i dont have the optimus v so im not too familiar with it) any ways, i couldnt figure which button was used to select an option in cwm. so i figured something went wrong when i installed cwm, i basically gave up and just did a factory resest from within the stock rom(not in cwm) forgetting you need stock recovery to do this. now it wont go to anything BUT the cwm recovery screen, i figured out the camera button is the select button, but i tried flashing a few roms via cwm, and when i reboot the phone it just goes straight to cwm recovery everytime..some one please help, i dont wanna buy him a new phone, im pretty sure this is fixable. if you can help, a big thanks from me

Even if helping a legit user (I see the OP is registered almost 2 years ago) please exercise caution, if feel comfortable PM.
Remember these forums give read access to anyone.
oh i didn't saw that. sorry just trying to help
Let me first start off by saying thank you for the replies already guys. The thing that's weird is when i access clockwork recovery it only shows 4 options..
Reboot
Delete cache
Delete/Wipe system
Restore option
There's no flash from zip option here. Any help would be greatly appreciated again i thank you =)
I'm very familiar with flashing/rooting so that's a plus =)

Does not look like clockworkmod recovery to me, sorry your friend might have been shafted, contact the seller.
Didn't think so either because i have seen clockwork before this recovery actually says like Samsung BML or something like that. Any recommendations? I told him that before but he said he really wants this phone lol stubborn people. I was able to get into that Downloading Mode thing but i really want to be careful and ask you experts first. I'm very familiar with the G1/Mytouch threads =) So i don't want to just start touching stuff and than paper weight =P

After flashing CWM tenfar's and going into android recovery I get the little green Android guy with an exclamation mark. Please help!
damn i just saw this the other day and thought i saw what the correct answer was. i think it means the flash didnt work and you need to do it again. wait for the proper answer.
Alright thanks for giving me hope that it can actually be fixed! What's the point of being unlocked if I can't get CWM anyway lol.

did u delete this file "install_recovery.sh" located in your /system/etc/before attempting to install Tenfar's CWM....if u didn't delete that file then that's ur error...delete that file and then reinstall CWM...and btw you would need rootexplorer to delete that file...make sure u turn on r/w button in rootexplorer.....
THAT WORKED!! THANK YOU! I deleted the wrong "install_recovery.sh" before. Using it to flash GB as we speak. Thanks again!
So I was flashing a new rom in CWM on my AT&T Atrix 4G, unlocked bootloader, running CM10. I was going to flash CM9 because there was a bug in CM10, and when I went to wipe my dalvik cache, I hit the wrong menu option somehow and wiped an internal partition that must've been the one that CWM was on, so now I get the screen shown in the picture. Any ideas guys? Thx.

are you familiar with fastboot? What happens if you select fastboot? I am just thinking that you might try reflashing the recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) but I am not great with fastboot but worth a look?

I'll give it a try. Thanks man! I was looking at SBF files, which I really wanted to avoid. I'll let you know what happens.
Nothing. The fastboot command line tool couldn't see my phone. I'm going to look for another guide. Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Driver issues. When I click yes to the error on the first button, the error in the second screenshot pops up.
By the way, I just want to say I appreciate the help and the quick replies.
Found the drivers and successfully flashed RomRacers Recovery through Fastboot! Thanks guys! She lives!:victory:
It's odd though, I just flashed cm10 and I'm having frequent random reboots and the screen calibration is off.
It looks like the trick here is a pds partition fix. I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back.
The pds partition worked.

I am a RAZR user and have it all rooted and running great so I am fairly competent but a co-worker has the ATRIX and it was in a bootloop. I offered to help and find myself practically where you were except I have no OS on the phone and can not seem to get recovery on it.
Can you share where you found the right drivers, recovery, and a good OS? Basically I need someone to hold my hand through this because I do not have the time to keep looking for the right things since I have a kitchen remodel underway and a wife who....need I say more?
Thanks

I got exactly what you did. But even in fastboot mode I can't get out of this screen after flashing the recovery. Actually it does not get into CWM or another recovery but each time I Vol and Power Down it gets into this screen again. Looks like flashing does not help at all. If I select Boot Android it powers up in the last ROM I flashed before all this. The problem is that I cannot operate any soft button at the bottom: the screen looks not calibrated so I need to push on areas lower than actual buttons are, and I don't know how to get out of that either. No Back, neither Home or Search buttons are unreachable.
What can I do? How to reflash this phone?
If you activate the RSD mode you can flash your stock rom with RSDLite. There is a superthread with the original firmwares, you will lose root and unlock but it will restore completely your device
Hello, sorry for being dumb, but this is the case.
I rooted my phone, everyone was ok, but I wanted to install a custom kernel, so I wanted to install a custom recovery, so I dowloaded ROM manager from the market and installed it, I selected to install a custom recovery, everything went ok, so I pressed to boot into recovery, and that's where it gets stuck on the S2 logo, won't go past that.
What are my options?
Back to stock via Odin - clean slate & you can then 'start again' (re-root, reinstall custom rom/kernel whatever).
Don't use Rom Manager with the SGS2 at all; it's notorious for doing what you've just experienced (you don't need it - you have CWRecovery for all your flashing/backup/restore/etc needs).
P.S - Bricked phones are exactly that; bricked. They don't boot. If a phone boots, it ain't bricked. There's no such thing as 'hard' or 'soft' bricked. It either tis or t'aint.
Thanks for replying, and good to hear that there is some hope, can you refer to any guide/tutorial of what to do exactly, I don't want to stumble upon something wrong and make things worse.

Power off. Press Volume Down + Power and it'll boot into download mode (let's hope so), and flash back to Stock 4.1.2
Then flash Siyah Kernel. It includes SuperUser and CWM.

Hey guys, basically, i'm new-ish to flashing, but i was able to do it following all instructions. Yesterday i installed an s5 theme from this site that caused my phone to have problems such as the wifi not working. I was reading that flashing a custom kernel might help, it didn't.
So i woke up, entered my TWRP custom recovery and stupidly factory wiped everything, now my phone wont get past the 'Samsung galaxy s III' screen, it just stays there. I have no idea what to do, i'm dumb enough not to make a recovery file before i started all this so i've ****ed up there.
If anyone can help me get my phone back i'll be extremely happy, i just want it working again! I have work in a few hours and really hope to fix it before then! Any help is appreciated.
Download a stock rom from sammobile.com and flash it the way you flashed TWRP.

It sounds like you might need to flash a ROM before it will boot. Your contacts, texts etc are gone if you wiped /data though.

Ah ok, it's good that it worked. I was just worried since you posted this on the i9300 forum and said you were flashing an i9305 ROM.
