So I wasn't paying a lot of attention while I was flashing to Cyanogen ROM and accidentally hit the update.zip (google apps) before installing Cyogen Mod. I looked up and then looked down then the phone vibrated and it was rebooting.
When the phone loads it attempts to get into a setup mode which just spams a force-close for process.gaps and com.android.setupwizard.
When I hit volume down + power and go into recovery it just gives me the android logo and an exclamation point. I've tried doing clear storage and that doesn't fix the problem. I was consistently getting the Exclamation point in the recovery image from ROM Manager, but going in and flashing to the alternate and back fixed it. I just can't get into the vanilla android OS right now.
Anyone have any ideas on what I could do to get out of this loop?
PASSIMG.zip
You can try the passimg method-
1. download a stock image and rename it PASSIMG.zip
2. Place the file on the root of your sd
3. Power off your phone, then turn it on by holding VolDown and pressing Power
*It will start up in HBOOT mode and will prompt you to flash the PASSIMG.zip update
Install a custom recovery first (Amon_ra being my preferred recovery) . Then flash what you want.

This worked. Thanks for the tips! Without this forum people like me, who know only enough to be dangerous, would be totally screwed.
Im trying to flash a new rom but when i go to flash clockworkmod recovery nothing happens. i have internet, no error signs pop up all that happens is the bar goes green then stops.
Is there any troubleshooting i can do?
Turn the phone off, and then hold the three volume buttons and the power button. when you get to the recovery screen, select reinstall packages and it will go to an AT&T screen then back to the screen. select it again and then if a green screen pops up, your in clockwork.
I have not flashed clockworks yet though it is not on my phone.
I tried that already. I dont know what to do now
Go to my files on your phone, make sure there is a file called update.zip
Then phone off
Three button combo
Reinstall packages
Repeat
Done

crap, you beat me to it
Reading this forum is really helpful before flashing

And the file that you need to have on the root of your sd card is the one on clockwork mode renamed as update.zip
Best of lucks
i reinstalled packages and it did not work when i tried to flash
You can always use rom manager
If you are rooted already. You can use rom manager to get into recovery, as follows:
1) Install rom manager from the market
2) Start rom manager and flatsh ClockworkMod recovery, make sure you select "Captivate"
3) After you havedone point 2, select the second option on rom manager "Reboot into recovery".
Reinstall packages two times.
Voila,you are in recovery.
worked beautifully thank you!!
i cant get into my recovery, i have a recovery image, im on cm7 rc3, i tried flashing to the stable using rom manager, but i get stuck on the htc screen, i take out the battery, try flashing the normal way, and im still stuck on the htc screen, what can i do? i deleted gapps off my sd card and put the new one in, but i didnt flash right away, i tried flashing cm7 stable first, dont know if thats what caused the issue. thanks for your help
It puzzles me you say you can't get into recovery but you posted you tried flashing the rom threw rom manger and the " normal " way. I'm thinking the normal way is from your recovery. If you can get into recovery try this. Make a nandroid of your current rom. Then do a full wipe. As in data,cache & dev-cache. Then flash the rom and see if it boots up. If it does. Reboot back into recovery and flash the gapps. then reboot. See if that works. If you cant actually get into recovery just post back and either myself or fellow xda members will try and help you out.

i cant get into recovery at all, what i wrote was i tried flashing the cm7 stable from rom manager first, but it got stuck on the htc screen, then tried the normal way which is holding down the red button and clicking on the reboot-recovery option, and still got stuck on the htc screen. these are the only two ways i know to get into recovery, and holding down the volume down button and the power button, which didnt work for me either, basically i cant get into recovery. i thought it was because i deleted my gapps and didnt flash the new gapps file as soon as i put it in my sd card,but im not sure if that is the reason.
With power off
To boot into recovery you
Press & hold the red power button & press & hold the home buttom untill you see your recovery. Or Peres & hold the power button then press and hold the volume down button. A white screen will appear. When you see the white screen press the home button and wait. Your recovery should appear. If you just deleted your gapps zip from your SD it would not effect your recovery at all. I think your just caught in a boot loop and your not booting into recovery the correct way. But I'm not sure.let me know if this works. What recovery are you using???

Pull battery, replace battery.
BEFORE POWERING ON DEVICE, press and hold HOME key.
WHILE HOLDING HOME KEY, press and release power button.
WHEN HTC LOGO APPEARS, release HOME key.
You should now be in recovery.

Then just go into ROM Manager and re-flash the recovery.
ok thnks, ill hfto try where i can get wifi n the morning x.x
If I'm not mistaken can't you tell rom manger were to look for the recovery you want to flash?? If so and you have a copy of the recovery on your sd you can flash it.

how about if he had said no?
thats just straight up a creek right?
I am having the same problem...except I never actually got Cyanogen flashed. I rooted my phone. Installed SuperUser to fix permissions. Installed Rom Recovery and flashed the Clockworks Recovery. Then I backed up the Rom and when I went to boot into recovery to flash Cyanogen, I just get the white HTC screen. I get the same issue with manual recovery (holding down home and turning the power on). I can boot normally, but I can't restore my backup or use any other recovery features. Any ideas?

Ok....I tried one more time using the Volume Down and Power, then selecting Home and for whatever reason it worked. So I cleared my cache and then I selected to installed zip from sdcard and selected the cyanogen zip file. I get E: Error in /sdcard/update-cm-7.0.0-Hero-signed.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
Anyone know what that means?

Could just be a bad download. Redownload it and try again. Or it could mean its the wrong type of file. Or the zip needs to be signed.

hi ,
I am totally new all this , and i am trying to root my phone and i am stuck.
I searched some tutorials and following the instructions.
Its written that i need to open odlin and them go to download mode and root
But odlin is a aplication and download mode is something you do when phone is off ?
How will i open odlin when phone will be switched off ?
and when i open odlin i get error that you need to have super user.
I installed super user but i don't know how to load app in it ? it says no app in list....
and how do i use that jv6 flash file ?....i am confused.. Please help.
these are 2 guide i was following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966 - its written that you go in download mode and open odlin , how is this possible ? when phone is off and you can open any app ?
bump.....still need this help
Im guessing this is the first time flashing/rooting. Take your time coz what your playing with can mess up your phone.
Firstly, to put your phone in download mode. Do this by:
-First switching your phone off
-Now hold down these buttons at the same time: Power button + Home button + volume down button
-Hold them all down till you see the yellow triangle icon
-Once u see that, your in download mode
Now its important to follow the steps given in the guide about using Odin
nvm its rooted now , i found out that odin is a windows app not android.
Thanks stil..
I need your help here. Coud´t not find an anwser anywhere.
I tried to use ROM Manager (premium) to flash ClockWorkMod recovery on my P7300. It did not work and after reboot into recovery the screen flashes some lines and then goes dark. If I try to turn it on I get the same result.
If I try to go in recovery mode manually (by pressing on/off and Volume button) I get the same result. I can go to download mode but as soon I try to flash a stock rom via odin3 it does not work either and I get a fail in the first blok (of odin3). Drivers are OK, Odin3 gives a yellow comport number so it seems that the USB connection is OK.
Any help will be appriciated.
