phone reboots to bootloader image with 3 skateboards

i have a class 6 adata 8gb 2gb ext4 64mb swap rest fat32
im running cyanogen 4.0.2 or 4.0.4 whichever one i load up from sd at the time, but both are stable. i have newest radio and spl also. the issue is simple. i can get into recovery mode and bootloader menu. everytime i reboot it goes to bootloader menu(3 skateboards). camera button is not held down either or stuck. the only way to get past this screen is to evertime i reboot to factory wipe and install new rom which is a pain. i was wondering if by having the original image DREAIMG file in a folder on my sd is whats causing this. but now that i cant get past this screen i cant remove it from sd. i also already tried mounting sd to comp from console using: "ums_enable" it does nothing(tried it on 3 computers). im tired of reseting and reflashing. pls some assistance.

Have you tried to reflash the SPL? You could just redo the entire root process and replace everything.

New Isuue, Same Problem
Sorry it took so long to get back here. No I haven't tried that. How could it be the SPL? Im asking it in a meaningful way, like why and/or how could it be?
I will reflash the SPL tonight and edit post if it works.
I also erased my sd card and re partioned in in "parted" it booted fine. The battery died today and i rebooted it and BAM! bootloader screen again. So i factory reset and flashed a new ROM image. then it worked fine. now only problem is the private apps i have installed wont work and they get stuck on uninstalling....Whats the fix for that?
Thanks XDA!!

You need to start over and replace everything. It sounds like you have multiple problems. Use THIS guide starting with the downgrade bacause it will reflash EVERYTHING on your phone. If the problem persist then it's hardware issues. Redownload everything, don't use anything you already downloaded because these files might be bad too.

Looping at Start-up

so my SD card has been messing up and not letting me save apps to it and i had to reformat it. after I wiped it and reformated it i rebooted my phone and now it wont go passed the ANDROID screen and it just keeps looping. i have the old CM 1.4 and dont know how to get my phone to move passed this screen and use my phone again. Please help! ( by the way I'm not very ANDROID savvy so if you could dumb it down for me that would really help) Thank you so much.

Look...
I don't know the answer to your question, however...
I am friendly, and I am going to kindly inform you that this is the wrong section and you will get flamed for putting it in wrong section.
This should be in Q&A I believe
With my lack of android knowledge, I think you need to wipe and reinstall

if you had an IQ >20 it wouldnt loop, ffs people post in the right place

read b4 you post...

lolz i love how people with low post #'s like me who aren't even seniors/mods flame him LOL

you have to re-flash the rom after wiping and re-formatting your SD because in doing so you wipe some system files i think that are used off the SD.

Moved to Q&A.
Next time, please post questions here.
Also, did you wipe your EXT2/3 partition also? Did you also wipe your ROM itself through the recovery console?

yeah..
You do understand that once you WIPE DATE/FACTORY RESET there is nothing on th ephone right...
Sooooo, how would you expect it to load a rom that is no longer on your phone?
Why would you wipe without intentions of installing a new rom?
Do you have your sd card with 3 partitions for saving apps to sd card??

this is what helps me i have been there before.. then it locks and turns black..
what i do is pull battery... remove sd... turn phone on.. wait like 10 sec...then pull battery again... replace sd card back in there...put battery bacc..load recovery.. go to your consoloe.. and run fix_permissions...when done type reboot... when reboot .. go bacc to recovery..and run the fix's... after that reboot and should be good!

Wiping doesnt wipe the ROM off your phone...All wiping erases is your userdata (i.e. contacts, apps, appdata, etc.) you can wipe your phone all day long and it should start right back up to the sign-in screen.
Why is it that people who have NO IDEA WHAT THE F*** THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT insist on answering questions that they dont even know the answer to, so you just made up that answer just so you could feel smarter than OP? Get a life and quit passing out misleading information...
WIPING DOES NOT COMPLETELY ERASE YOUR PHONE. IT DOES NOT REMOVE THE ROM FROM YOUR PHONE. It simply returns your phone to the "factory State", which is actually NOT the TRUE factory state, because it DOES NOT REVERT YOUR FIRMWARE.

It doesn't wipe the ROM, just the data files and settings.

Help Me! Urgent Phone Issue! Phone INOP!

Ive got a big problem, recently my old SD card **** out so i replaced it with a brand new one with nothing on it. Upon first boot nothing was loaded because obviously APP2SD puts everything on the SDCard, however not even market was loaded on the phone itself so it was impossible to even download anything
Now the big issue!!
In my stupidness i thought i would just wipe and reflash a new CM with the new SD card and see if that fixed everything.. However i wiped and then i realized i didnt have a new ROM on my SD card to flash back too!! so now when my phone boots it just boots to a black screen and nothing appears because there is no rom to run... my phone itself is wiped data/cache and my SD card is completely clean due to it being a brand new one
How can i get my phone working again? right now it is INOP as i dont have any rom on it whatsoever and it wont even boot, i dont have a microSD adaptor to put it on my computer with and load a rom on it
is there some failsafe way to get it back to stock firmware incase something like this happens?

This should be in the Q&A section.
But,
What recovery do you have?
[edit]
oh right, drop into terminal Alt+x, type ums_enable and connect your phone through usb and copy over the rom and Amon Ra's latest recovery.

You could try posting in the right section.... or you could go to recovery, drop to console and type ums_enable- then connect your phone and move a rom over

Go buy an sd reader. Or if you have aman ras recovery you can set it to go to usb fro the recovery menu.

first - wrong section
second, if you have a custom recovery - go to the shell and type
ums_enable with usb plugged in

inop
You need a card reader and the ra dream recovery and you would of fixed it

Wow all of you said the same thing?
And repeated it
Even ^ copied the rest of you by saying got rec mode.

ur first card prooly didnt go bad, u prolly didnt flash the ext-fix from cm..correct? thats what happened to me and i then realized my sd was fine, i was also stuck at the g1 screen b4 i flashed the fix. also from what i read all u did was wipe so ur rom is still there, see if u can grab the old card and getter dun. and stop being a jackass and post this where it goes!!

Post in the correct section, next time, please.

encryption unsuccessful after backup

Well I am having a huge problem I did a nandroid backup using bootstrap and it completed the backup which is on my ext sd card the problem is my phone wont boot I got a screen that says encryption unsuccessful and tells me to reset phone but the phone wont reset. It just keeps going back to the same screen I need help. Is there a way to get into CWM recovery and restore my backup. I can see my ect sd card on my computer but not the sd card. Or am I screwed until a FXZ comes out.

That's what happened to me after JB pushed update, I temporarily solved the problem without loosing any data by flashing Minimal_cdma_targa_9.8.2O-72_VZW-22.zip with RSD Lite, you might need to flash it again after phone reboot. You will loose root then

Internal SD card behaving strangely - Please Help

In short: Canceled Factory Reset, Now my SD card is not being detected properly and I am unable to format/mount it in recovery
Hey Everyone,
I've recently created quite a frustrating problem on my HTC Vivid that I'm unable to figure out. While attempting to go into CWM Recovery to check what version I have I accidentally selected Factory Reset from the bootloader. I quickly pulled the battery, as my back cover was off, within a second or two of this selection, and to my knowledge the phone was still on the bootloader screen and hadn't begun the process. After rebooting into my ROM and I attempted to install TWRP Recovery via Goo Manager in preparation for flashing a new ROM. After the download timer expired my Goo Manager crashed. Any attempt to install via Goo Manager since then is giving me this error, or it just hangs at the download web page. I suspect that this is because of the botched Factory Reset I mentioned earlier, and I'm worried I've somehow messed up the internal SD. My internal sd card is not detected by the camera app nor correctly seen in my file manager, in settings it is reported at the correct size, but apparently all my media has been deleted. I'm unable to format/mount ext sd or emmc in Recovery. My questions are: Has my sd card been corrupted, and If so, why did all my apps and user data remain? Secondly, how can I remedy this situation? I should mention that my phones data port is basically unusable, so I am unable to connect my device to a PC and use adb/fastboot.
My recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 and my ROM is CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3.1 Jellybean [KANG] [Oct-31] My phone is unlocked and S-OFF
Update: I tried to Factory Reset, thinking maybe what got me into this mess would get me out, but that option just takes me into recovery. This leaves me even more puzzled. I followed that up with a factory reset/davlik cache wipe from recovery but that hasn't done anything either. My conclusion thus far is that I need to somehow reformat my internal storage, is that possible without connecting my phone to a pc?
Thank you for any responses, and taking the time to read this.

I inadvertently hit the factory reset once from the boot loader and it did the reset in just a few seconds. It hosed my internal memory and unfortunately had to run the ruu to fix it. I know that is not what you want to hear if you can't connect it to a computer.

Seriously?
I have answered this question literally 100 times...
Please use the search feature...
Or at least scroll down and read thread titles...
And if your port is borked... Replace it

I did a forum search, I was unable to find a satisfactory answer so I started my own thread. (All were referring to using some method of connecting the phone to a PC)
If anyone is wondering, I solved my problem by simply doing a reset/data wipe via recovery and reflashing my ROM. During setup it prompted me to format my internal storage and now my phone is behaving as normal.
