Have you flashed the SPL?? If so some of the SPLs actually wipe out the phone so it's left "romless" Use an SD card reader to put a ROM on the then flash again....
But after reading your post again it seems like you cant get to recovery. If that's the case then the only thing that we can do is use fastboot to get the recovery img back. When you get to your SPL is it the Rainbow screen or is it androids skateboarding? If it's the Rainbow screen you may have hit a massive roadblock. If it's the skateboarding you're in luck. Now you do have to have ADB/Fastboot configured on your PC (Click Here to find out how)put a recovery image (named recovery.img) in the C:\[whatever you extracted the ADB stuff to]\tools and then using Command Prompt:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
What this does is erase your current recovery and then reloads your new recovery. If you continue to have issues you could always go back to stock, reroot and see if you're running into the same problems. (This part I think is easier)

Load of Problems Tonight..Help Please

Ok well I downloaded a 1.6 update and flashed it to my G1 from the Android Dev website off a link I found. It turned my phone into a 'Dev Phone 1' and just seemed to add the new market. Well I decided to go with it and through my day I started to have my first problem. When my phone was locked and I pressed the menu key with the *keyboard slide in* they keys would light up but the screen would stay off. I had to lock the phone back up and slide the keyboard open then press menu to see what I was doing.
I decided to just flash back another ROM i had on the card, and I noticed the 1.4 recovery was gone and it was back to stock looking. Well I got home and none of the ROMS would flash, from early customs to newest. It just aborted after 'verifying'. So I decided to try the Unroot my phone thing to just start all over. After putting the .nbh file on the sdcard and booting into camera/power It just wouldnt load up. I dont know what to do..
Also they phone will not boot up into regular or recovery mode with the screen on unless the keyboard is open
If you have root cant you just download the terminal emulator and reflash cyans 1.4 recovery.
^^Im not sure how to do that exactly
do you have ADB installed on your pc?
Yup I have it on my computer
I would suggest getting Amon_RA's recovery image. It is nearly the same as Cyanogens recovery, only with more options. You can get it here.

turn phone off
connect usb cable to pc
turn phone on with Menu+Power to boot into fastboot
load your cmd window up and navigate to your adb directory
(you can make sure its ready by typing fastboot devices. this should list your phone)
from there type the following
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img
Then reboot your phone into recovery Home+Power to make sure it took. If it does not take, I don't know what to tell you.

Help My G1 Has Gone Crazy

I have a rooted G1 I was using Enomther's HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM And Cyanogen's 1.4 recovery image....when all of a sudden while i was trying to text on the slide out keyboard only the letter E,F, and D would work so i tried rebooting my phone...it stayed stuck at the G1 screen and kept rebooting itself I took out the battery and tried to boot in recovery and did when I tried wiping the phone it would not let me press the home key to confirm the wipe...so i just rebooted from the recovery screen the phone turned on but it did not load any of my widgets and said safe mood at the bottom left hand corner and only the power button worked on the phone.....so i put the DREAIMG.nbg file on my sd card And Booted W/ Camera +power and it got to the screen but when prompted to press the power button to perform the reboot it would not do anything so I took out the battery again and now everytime i try turning on the phone even in recovery it just keeps rebooting at the G1 screen then after like 10 minutes it turns off.....Anybody Think The Can Help?
which spl are you using? You could use fastboot to flash a nandroid backup from before you're issues started.
Not Sure Never Flashed Any ROMS That Require The New SPL Did Not Want To Brick My Phone...SO I Am Still Using The Hard SPL I Flashed When I Rooted My Phone
If you're using the HardSPL you should be able to use fastboot, you'll also have to have fastboot setup on your computer, you can check out this thread for some good info on that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
also you'll have to have a nandroid backup from before you're issues started, I can provide you with a link if you need some good back up files
My Phone Won't Load Into Fastboot It Does The Same Thing Just Stays At The G1 Screen And Then Turns Off
your first post said that you were able to boot you're phone using camera+power ?????
Yea I Was Able Too Once Just Like The Recovery But Now It Doesn't Load Anything It Just Keeps Rebooting After The G1 Screen
do you have adb installed?
Sounds like a hardware problem, maybe some buttons are stuck.

[Q] Phone only boots into recovery because of home button!

Last night i i wet my phone and since then the home button seems to be stuck or fryed or idk. it only boots into recovery and when i try to use the home button (ex. try to power off via recovery and press home to confirm, flash a rom press homee to confirm), it doesnt do anything. so now im stuck in recovery trying to figure out what i can do? any ideas? is there anything i can do in adb to get it to boot properly?
OK, that should work: You need a fastboot enabled spl (death/hard/eng) for that, and a kernel boot.img, ideally the one from the rom you are using (it is inside the zip archieve, just extract it).
Boot -> Recovery (automatically...)
adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot boot.img
Well, your homebutton will still be screwed, but at least it should boot if the system is still ok.
Well I went into adb and started punching in commands. Reboot android did the trick. I think I may do as u say tho just in case my phone dies for some reason. Appreciate it
Well I still have the home button problem but now I'm stuck again.....I want to flash the new cy rc3 but don't know how to do it. I can't press home to confirm the wipes and the flashing....I think saw a post somewhere a while back about flashing through adb but can't find it no more. Anybody have any ideas or know how?

[Q] nexus one broken power button stuck in boot loop

I have a rooted and unlocked bootloader nexus one. I previously had cm7 on it but decided to flash an ics rom without having the blackrose hboot. I need help to get into recovery as I can get to the point where to select recovery I need the power button. Is there another way of getting into recovery thru fastboot or something?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
try
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Adb reboot recovery. Adb should work within 10 seconds of booting. I had a problem once that wouldn't even get past the X to the boot animation.
You can also install blackrose which enables you to press the trackball instead of the power button.
I think you need to be able to boot normally to install blackrose.
But if you have a broken power button, get blackrose and 4ext touch recovery on your phone as soon as you can boot normally.
If you're not getting far enough into the boot for ADB to work and can't do the fastboot stuff because you never unlocked the bootloader (and don't want to), you can toss a passimg on your sd card to go back to stock. Then you can reroot.
I can't get into adb, but my bootloader is unlocked. Is there any way of getting into recovery without having to reroot.
Take a look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Nexus_One/Recovery_Images
Thanks for the link, it somewhat helped but I was able to get it to work with lots of flashing via fast boot and whatnot
I had the same problem. I flashed back to stock. Flashed the userdata, system image, recovery image, boot image, and radio.

[CLOSED] Stuck in bootloop - Cant load a recovery

Hello,
I tried to flash Slim ROM on my TMo HTC One and I accidentally soft-bricked it.
First, I unlocked the bootloader, put the zip folder in storage and then went straight for flashing a ROM.
Since then, I am stuck in a bootloop even when I try to run recovery - I flashed TWRP.
Can anoyone help?

yes, this is pretty simple:
You can boot into your bootloader by pressing the power button for a long time and if the display turns off, press the volume down button and hope you jump into your bootloader.. try this out until you manage to get into your bootloader. If this doesn't work, you should hold your phone below a bright light so the sensor recognizes it.. then play around with your power button and volume buttons and you should be able to boot into your bootloader. Then connect your phone to the PC and use this fastbootcommand after you navigated to fastboot on your phone:
Code:
fastboot erase chache
Now you should be able to boot into your recovery..
If it helped, hit the thanksbutton or ask other questions by quoting my post so I get notified and I can answer
If you managed to enter the recovery, say it, I write further instructions... Because if I write it now and the steps above didn't work... I wrote it for no reason and yeah... just say it

thank you for your quick response, unfortunately, after erasing cache before and I still got stuck in bootloop (didnt work this time either).
Entering Recovery... appears on top of a screen and nothing happens for a long time before the phone reboots itself

I would simply reflash recovery (maybe a different one) to make sure it's not the file you have

ok.. in that case we have to do some other stuff..
Download the TWRP recovery, it's know to work better than CWM at it's current state, you can download the file for your HTC One here:
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7 (credits to: http://teamw.in/ thanks for your awesome work!)
Then when you are in the fastboot mode, use this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
Then boot into recovery... and if this doesn't work too, try this command:
Code:
fastboot boot "C:\pathToYourRecovery\recoveryname.img"
If you were able to get into the recovery, or if you were not able, pls answer
!! :good: It worked and I got successfully booted the recovery, I think I was flashing a wrong version of twrp before
