[Q] CWM Bootloop w/ v5.8.2.0

---

Long story short im a newb, im sorry for creating a new thread but ive exhausted my efforts looking for a solution to the problem im having. When the problem occured i had restored my original cwm backup that i created when first rooting my phone. I then did a factory wipe and reinstalled cwm and flashed my recovery. I went to install cm9 4-4-12 and i got a pop up that firmware update was available i clicked update system now and got sent to cwm recovery. Every time since then i cannot reboot into the android os, pulling battery. It doesnt matter what i do, ive tried to use a flash recovery zip i found in another thread to exit boot loop. Ive also tried restoring my original back ups and my recent back ups. I have the android sdk installed but having trouble getting adb to work not sure if i should go about trying to fix the recovery or trying to restore phone to its original state either way i think i need to get adb working before i can do either one. Any help is appreciated and im sorry if im wasting your time.

Did you try wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory reset before flashing CM9?

Yes. The order i took was Wipe data/factory reset> Wipe cache partition> wipe dalvic cache> installed cm9 zip> installed gaps zip. still nothing got adb to work not doing much with it i know it has root access and when i got the state of the device it came up as unknown although im pretty sure im in recovery mode.

ok a few question and maybe a step by step to help you since i had a same promblem with a bad flash of CM9

1A. Can you boot into Recovery ? if not i can help you reflash your phone with the Kdz files took me forever to get it to work but i finilly found all the files needed.

1B. if it does boot into recovery run adb devices ... does it show the phone in recovery mode ? in the list.

If so then you can Download the following 6 files Dropbox Down link its not mine but was posted in another Nitro Recovery topic i will give credits once i re go threw the topic to see the poster
- recovery.img
- system.img
- baseband.img
- boot.img
- firmware.img
- pushall.bat

in your CWM recovery go to mounts or it may be under advanced and turn on usb mass storage and as long as all of those files are in your adb folder you can run the pushall.bat and it will place them on your sdcard.
After that turn off usb mass storage and run adb devices again to make sure you phone is still showing up. If so run these commands

Adb shell

****** notice the SU command isnt used here**** cant get super user in recovery but it will still let you run the commands and i can confirm it does work
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

You won't be able to issue a reboot command, so just hold power down on your phone til it's off and hold the volume down button so that it comes back up in factory data reset mode. You will want to pull your sdcard at this time if you don't want your data erased.
Hit power twice and your phone should go through its reset process and (hopefully!) come back up in a working (and rooted) AT&T "stock" rom

if not then try to follow this for the CM9 Adb Drivers Wiki for CM adb drivers i know its a little work but it dose the trick then go back up to the previous step and try that to get to stock rooted

i dont think i left anything out but i can help with anything else i know if that doesnt get you back up and running.

and to Malnilion for his guide on unbricking the nitro

edit: re-ran superoneclick for run and it worked! I should be good from here

Got everything to work. Wait spoke to soon tried to reinstall firmware update again got the same problem. oh well guess i should done fw update before installing cwm. Thanks for the help i should be able to repete this problem in the case of another brick... which just occured.

So after going through the process of unbricking my phone a second time my phone was rebooted into software update screen. Updating firmware then software and did not have to go through factory reset. Strange...

I pushed all images to my device via adb,but ota update gets an error when trying to install. At least its not bricked. Anyone know of another method?
