[Q] Stuck in Clockwork Mod Bootloop

---

Installed Andromadus 4.0 beta on my wife's G2. When I got home from work my wife said that the phone had restarted and would now only boot into clockworkmod recovery v5.8.1.0. Tried factory reset and wiping the caches and reflashing. Also tried flashing CM9 unofficial but the phone just shuts off in the middle of the flash and reboots back into clockwork. Tried to flash stockmod but I get a "can't open error". Currently the phone boots into Clockwork mod, stays on for 60 secs, then reboots itself back into clockwork mod. Help please!

maybe try to reflash your recovery, boot into fastboot and try...

When you say 'tried to flash stockmod' do you mean a PC10IMG?
Cause those are made to be flashed in hboot mode, not recovery.

Well that must be why that option didn't work. I'm pretty new to all this. Have a MyTouch I rooted a couple weeks ago that works great. But I am having fits with this one, and worse, it's my wifes phone Any other suggestions?

wipe everything in recovery, then flash a superwipe.zip (also fastboot -w is good but if your new dont worry) no flash a stable rom in recovery. i suggest elite mod, its a cm7 based rom that i personally like. all files will be found in the development threads along with any instructions needed. if you have troubles ask here again but make sure you
1 wipe all
2 superwipe.zip
3 flash rom (elitemod or whatever)

It worked! Thank you so much!

great to hear! if you used and like the rom i suggested make sure to thank the developer, it doesnt seem that too many use this rom any more but it is still one of my favorites for the g2 and the dev deserves great credit

Not really working! :(

I tried installing superwipe, and all sorts of different android operating systems but I cant seem to get my phone to get out of clockworkmod v5.8.1.0 and I can get to fastboot or hboot but it wont go passed the HTC screen. Every time I try installing an updated OS or a different OS or even doing the superwipe.zip it just says installation aborted and i can't get it to work! Any tips?

For future reference, don't go blindly flashing "Stock" images and such via the bootloader you tend to get yourself into more trouble that way (bricking, or making it difficult to get back to rooting).

Also if you're frequently using ICS roms I recommend using 4EXT Touch Recovery instead of ClockworkMod. A lot more useful tools in the recovery itself especially for wiping or formatting specific partitions.

When you get a chance check out which eMMC is used on that phone (click the eMMC name in my signature to see the poll thread which tells you how to check). Good for future reference if something acts up again.
