Alright, I recently factory reset my rooted and CWM'd Revolution and I was getting immediate boots into CWM recovery. I followed the steps outlined http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161537, and I was able to successfully boot to the LG screen. Here in lies the problem, it is now infinitely bootlooping... it stays on the LG screen indefinitely. I have left it lit for hours at a time, no luck. I have googled for hours and found nothing. Also, factory resets in CWM don't give a completed script, but recovery just resets and I have no idea if anything was actually erased, but I do know it still doesn't work.
So, is there anyway to save my phone?
quick recap:
1. phone is rooted and has CWM installed.
2. it is bootlooping.
please help!!!
edit: with some good camera work, I was able to capture the error string at the end of the factory reset:
E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
then a rapid reboot and back to step one. The phone will then boot back into CWM, and if I reboot, it will stick on the LG screen indefinitely.
when it fails to wipe data, does it go back to clockworkmod as if clockworkmod restarted?

yes, verbatim.
It is as if nothing happened, no log at the bottom, it is fresh.
The reset at the end of the factory reset is normal. Can you flash anything in cwm? You may need to flash a rom to get further.

tried, both using the advance restore method via Revolt ROM 1.3 and the install ZIP from SD Card method using Revolt 1.4.
Would another ROM be more suitable?
Do you have any back ups made?

Not to thread-jack but I'm in a similar situation. I was trying to get RevRom1.4 to work. I'm rooted. I've installed that premium version of clockwork, and then installed clock work recovery. I was able to boot into CWR and get to the sd card and see revrom1.4 but it would not install. I get the error message "cannot open folder/file" something to that effect.
But I was still able to restart and go back into stock LG phone. After hours of frustration I decided to do a factory reset from the lg settings menu. My phone restarted, the LG logo comes up and then it goes to clock work recovery. I can't get out of it, and restarting it simply brings back up CWR.
I found the fix from thecubed about clockwork exit fix. But I have yet to try it (at school). Is this the way to go? Why won't it let me install roms from clockwork recovery?
Being a noob, I have no backups. Please help me!

Run the xip you saw that cubed posted that should fix you. Idk I never ran into that situation myself so I can't promise anything.
And side kick: Just do a full restore even if its from like your first backup. The restore will give you your boot image and everything back hopefully allowing the phone to finish the boot process. After it boots go back to CWR and do a data wipe then flash 1.4. Reboot and set the phone up. Should work fine. Hope this helps.

That CWM is not correct for our phone you need to use thecubed's CWM, it can be installed from the Revo_toolkit.
The exitrecovery.zip file should get you out of recovery. Then download the Revo_toolkit and install the correct version of CWM. After that you should be able to successfully install zip files and perform backup/recovery.

+1 to K0G for knowing that.
I did use Rev_Toolkit to install clockwork recovery. It is version v4.0.0.2.
The error I get when trying to install RevoltRom1.4 is "E:Can't open /sdcard/download/RevoltRom1.4zip (bad) Installation aborted."
I have no way to transfer that file to my sd card (well I do but its at my house) when I connect the phone to the computer, the sd card storage does not come up.

It shouldn't be in a download folder. It should be in the external sdcard in no folders. did you change the name of the zip file to /download/RevoltRom1.4.zip?

My phone downloads all files to the external sd (16 gig that came with phone) that is why it is there.
Should I eject the card and manually move it on my computer to just sd/revoltrom1.4 ?

That did not work but I was able to download thecubed's clockworkrecover loop and put it on the sd card and that indeed worked.
So why can't I install revoltrom1.4? from the sd??
*EDIT*
After I got back into my stock OS I redownloaded 1.4 and installed it in clockwork from the download folder on my sd card and it worked great. Who knows why. So it looks like I'm good to go, this thing is amazing!!!

I've been flashing Roms for over 2 years now sometimes you just get a bad Download..before flashing even an update to a Rom always do a Back up in clockwork first that way you have a fall back option
well, before this gets TOO off track, I do have back ups, but they all lead to the same thing. bootloop...

what do you mean?
when i opened rom manager and choose the rom i wanted to install it asked if i wanted to wipe and backup or something but i know i check both. then i install the zip in the recovery boot menu and rebooted and no luck. then i tried another rom and wiped before installing and still no luck.
At the very top of rom manager, you must flash 2.5.0.1 recovery. Did you do this first?

So you flashed the clockworkmod recovery, booted into recovery and made a nandroid of your stock rom. Then, what rom were trying to flash?

This exact same thing happened to me. What I did to fix it was pull the battery, then wipe everything (dalvik, data, cache), and then rebooted. My phone was able to boot then.
I'm having the same problem with rom manager. I just rooted my desire using the unrevoked method, then ran rom manager. I did install the recovery mode first, then backed up the rom. How my desire is just rebooting to the htc screen. How do I get out of this?
Many thanks,
Joe
dumb question, but how did you wipe everything?

Hey, that's exactly the same issuing I'm experiencing now. Did you solve it? And if yes, how?
Well, a few hours later I solved it by restoring a backup and then booting went well. Also described in a thread on androidforums dot com (I can't enter the link here due to not having posted enough messages) .

I don't know if this helps, but I'm pretty sure nandroids are specific to which recovery they were created with, I read that somewhere a few days ago. If you did not have clockwork before, I would try getting the recovery you used to make the nand, install that recovery and then restore the nand. Then try the whole wipe everything and get clockwork and go to town. If you haven't tried RA/Darch 1.7 recovery, I would recommend it, I personally like it better than clockwork, it seems faster, and simpler to use.
Exactly What "Il Duce" Said Will Fix Your Problem, Same Exact Thing Happened To Me, What I Did Was Go Back To Previous Version Of Rom Manager Then Flash Alternate Recovery, AND Regular Clockwork Recovery, Should Be Good After That!

I have thoroughly restored and master cleared my phone twice now. I root it, install Rom Manager and then attempt to install Clockworkmod Recovery and every time I get "Error while downloading from server". Are they down or something?
same story here, I even gave them the $5 and now it cannot even install the clockwork mod What is going on here?!
I believe the server is down for the clockwork mod file that rom manager downloads from. I attached the file that I downloaded from another post.
Thank you,
Thats got it
No change.

Once you put the update.zip on your internal SD card , reboot to recovery and select "reinstall packages"...............you are in ClockworkMod Recovery

Had the same problem wit the server and can confirm it worked with the update.zip in the post AND the double install(you dont need to reboot again just hit install packets againg).
Thx
I can also confirm that this worked as well. I am rooting my bosses phone(captivate) and clockwork was giving me "server" issues when flashing the recovery. Put the update.zip on the sd card, booted to recovery and ran the update, I am flashing clockwork as we speak! Thanks, this forum never lets me down!
I'm stuck in a CWM Recovery boot loop.
- ran Mt's Root&RecoveryAIO - Root and CWM Recovery
- backed up my phone with CWM Recovery
- put GingerVolt on my SDcard
- did a factory reset
- after reboot phone loaded directly into CWM Recovery
- Installed GingerVolt from SD (zip) restarted and I was back in CWM Recovery. Restarted again. Back in...
- Restored backup didn't work either
I cannot access my phone via usb. It Blue screens my PC or shows up as a internet connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did u try the get out of recovery zip? I pulled the sd card out to load it.

Thanks I appreciate your help I did use that zip. Definitely a noob though, I couldn't find anything related to that script in any of my searches.
It's buried somewhere in the development section I just keep it in my dropbox so I don't have to search for such a common problem.
I tested something to try and fix the factory reset from the settings menu but it didn't work so for now that's the only fix.

Thank you!!
This worked out perfectly for me, thank you. I just have one question for you. Does this take me back to pure stock straight out of the box? I only ask because I noticed SuperUser is still on my phone. I would like to take my phone back to "straight out of the box" if possible. Is there such a thing after a phone has been rooted?
Scratch that, it still has root. I will just stick with root for now.
Follow this exactly to get your phone back to stock. If it fails around 10% then get a different USB cable.

I rooted my Dell Streak 7 from T-Mobile it has the sim card slot so I guess it's not the wifi only one. i installed rom manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.0 everything was working fine. Then I downloaded a rom an boot into recovery when i went to install zip from sd card i clicked on it and said no files found. Wherever I click says that. I dont know what t do anymore!!!!
Also, my friend sold it to me because it freezes a lot out of nowhere. I thought that maybe upgrading the firmware or installing a kernel could fix it but I cant even flash a rom. I have a optimus one and it never gives me any trouble.
I tried googling for answers and looked all over xda but couldn't find a solution.

LOL, you didn't need to flash CWR to upgrade to honeycomb. Just download the correct update.pkg and using the stock recovery, flash the package.
So what do I do now? format the whole thing? and where can I get that update?

Look for links here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Dell_Streak_7#Official and then fastboot the stock recovery. Once you have the stock recovery, you can install the HC Update.pkg.

You may want to NVflash back to Froyo with this: http://d-h.st/iXc and then from that stock recovery install the HC Update.pkg. From there you can Fast boot CWM or TRWP.

I tried to go back to 2.2, but the orginal problem is still there (stuck in boot loop shows the dell logo and does nothing else) I know it isn't bricked can get into fastboot and nvflash. (it is a dell streak 7 4g (t-mobile)). I know there is something I am doing wrong I just haven't figured out what it is. Any advice would be great. This is a different device than the other dell streak I asked about earlier...
I have scoured and can't find anything! Having a right mare here!!!! I had stock ROM, simply rooted it and then tried to flash a few other files here and there and clearly broke it. Now it wont boot. I cannot for the life of me work out how to fix this. Just want the stock odexed ROM back really or any ROM which means I can just receive OTA updates and plod along happily. I have downloaded stock ROM but can't seem to push via sideload. Can I run RUU from fastboot screen? What else can I do here? Any way to push a zip to my SD card so I can flash that way?
I knew I should have backed up before I flashed anything else. Was about to but then bloody didn't for some daft reason!! TOOL!!
Can anyone offer any help, thanks.
if you are using cwm recovery then you can mount the sd card from mounts and storage.
