Wrong way to install the CWR. My phone has a solution?

I'm so embarrassed to post this, but there we go.
CWM installed following the tutorial for the P920 using the 3D ROM MANAGER (rooted by superoneclick). Apparently installed successfully, but when trying to install the mod's ROMs (King_3d, and ThiaiZ KINGDROID), all of them will not boot completely and then turn off your device as you pressed the power button.
Trying to see what could be wrong, I saw on the back label that my device it's a P925. I was stupid and not able to make the backup old ROM.
I just killed my phone or there is still way out of it?
PS: I tried to run this rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 but this also does not boot completely, and the device shutting down.
Maybe a problem with the CWR?

Thanks, but i have no system running on phone to do this. I´m stuck on CWR with no rom.

How much battery do you have left? You should be able to boot completely with O3D ROMs, and for sure with the stock Thrill ROM. Also, are you doing a data wipe before hand?
If you can get into recovery, which sounds like you can, no need to reflash the recovery. As well, a boot loop usually means failure to wipe properly or wrong kernel (but that doesn't apply here at all).

Battery it´s full! All attempts i wape the cache , data & factory, and dalvik too.
Without success, the phone keeps Shutting Down after booting the ROM's. (I can see "reading sd card" on the top bar before shutting down screen.
Thank you in advance for the assistance.

Wait so you're actually able to boot into the operating system and then it just shuts off? Or does it reboot back to the boot screen? If its shutting off That sounds like something is wrong with the phone itself.
Try to redownload a fresh copy of the rom and push it to your SD card (check the md5 sums to be sure its right. If its not posted ask the dev to put it up). Boot into clockworkmod and go to mounts and storage. From there format /system /data and /cache. Now install the rom and reboot.

There's no reason for the phone to shut off like that. Even if you are getting bad rom flashes. Unless..
I gotta ask...is the battery charged? You can lose a lot of battery being in recovery and going through reboots. It could actually be that the battery is not charged or is defective. Try charging and/or replacing the battery.

I have good news! Or bad news too. I just decided to turn on the device with the USB cable plugged in and booted it as well. He is not holding battery charge, consisting as 0% of charged. I tested another battery from a friend and did the same thing. If I unplug the USB cable the device shutting off immediately. It may be a software problem or a hardware problem coincidentally?

Edit: it appears they're having the same problem over in the O3D forums. Try restoring the stock firmware and stock recovery. I would also try formatting all your partitions individually (you will lose data so backup first).

I set my phone for Stock & Recovery firm, unrooted. Nothing doing! I give up, nobody knows how to solve this problem. I'm totally frustrated with it.

ROM Manager CWM Flash Fix

Hey guys, I have a friend who has an HTC Vivid, and he accidentally flashed CWM via ROM Manager. This on it's own isn't a big deal, but then he let the battery run down, and now the phone refuses to charge. Apparently the phone will vibrate randomly while off, will not turn on, doesn't charge after 2 hours of being plugged in. His phone is S-ON and unlocked. There is a quick indication of a charging LED going on, but it flashes off. I don't think it's ever been dropped or anything else.
I'm assuming that an external battery charger to get the battery charged and then flashing recovery via fastboot should solve the issue. Am I right, or is this going to require a full flash via an ruu?
The phone cannot be booted up into either bootloader or the main OS.

I believe his best luck is to use a friends vivid to charge his battery or but a battery cradle to charge it. I think those are the only two options.

Will it run off the charger cable without the battery?

I think his phone is still recognized by the PC, but I'm not sure if ADB will get it into a state that will let it charge and then fix the recovery.

If he can't get someone to charge his battery for him, but he _can_ get it to boot into clockwork (and have access to ADB shell), it can be fixed... but it's a pain in the butt.
It boils down to pushing the htcbatt service file (you can get from my github here: https://github.com/thecubed/android.../prebuilt/recovery/root/sbin/htcbatt?raw=true ) to /tmp/ and marking it as executable, then executing it.
Code:
adb push htcbatt /tmp/htcbatt
adb shell
chmod 777 /tmp/htcbatt
/tmp/htcbatt
After that, let it sit there for 30 or so minutes, and the battery should be charging.
Don't skimp on charging time, let it at least get back to 60%, then use the PH39IMG-chargemode.zip in my recovery thread. Rename it to PH39IMG.zip and put it on your sdcard, then boot to HBOOT and flash it. Boot to recovery, and let the battery finish charging.
That should get it all working!
Good luck!

The issue is that I know for sure that the phone's cwm is broken, he flashed it through rom manager and I know that it won't boot into recovery.
Would it be possible to try and push the proper recovery.img to the phone via fastboot?

So, when plugged into AC power over USB, what happens?
Fastboot flash wont work until the battery is charged, since hboot runs only on battery.

Yes. If he has enough battery to get in to the bootloader.

Status update as I now have the phone in my hands.
1. The phone doesn't boot at all. No signs of life, no ability to get into bootloader or Android OS.
2. If the battery is pulled and then put back in, then the USB cable is put into the phone, the charging LED can be seen for a little bit before it goes out.
3. For some reason, haptic feedback on the capacitive buttons still works, but intermittently.
4. I'm unsure of whether the battery is dead from voltage going too low.

Double post to say that the issue was solved with an external battery charger and flashing the proper recovery.img. Thanks to everyone for their help.

i was having a lot of trouble with my att vivid for about 2 weeks unlocked it and run super guide stuff on it all week wasnt getting anywhere but i came across a link to a web site that had it up and running in about 30 mins it was realiy cool now it is back to normal just signed into filefactory and got the proper ruu run the program and wow it was amazing i tried posting the link but i am newbee here so all i can do is q&a the real key was i had to lock it back and the program did all the work.

Just reflash your recovery over fastboot yo. Just grab any recovery (though I recommend TWRP) and "fastboot flash recovery whateverMyImageFileNameis.img". Goes without saying I hope that you have to have your phone powered into Fastboot mode (pull battery, hold power + vol down, choose Fastboot).
I don't recommend trying to manually install images unless you have a damn good understanding of linux filesystems.

I didn't see anything about your phone not turning on in the above post! That would be been helpful info
Will the phone still charge on a wall charger? Do you get the orange LED when it's plugged in? Seems like a lot of people are suddenly having battery or charge port deaths...

haha sorry.! and sadly, no light at all. but, i know that i had at least 80% of battery left before i rebooted. I have also tried multiple batteries. I think i might have killed it xD so right now im waiting for the void stickers i bought from amazon to come in so i can return it to AT&T lol

In the future I'd recommend actually knowing what you're doing before you go doing things to your phone. There's a wealth of information on here...use it.

Semi Bricked i957

So my i957 wont boot up passed the second Samsung screen. I can get into recovery mode after rooting it and obviously download mode after rooting it. I used it yesterday morning and left and it was still lit up when i came home at 12:30 at night. I have no idea how it didnt die in that time but i reset it and now it wont turn back on. I could possibly try to put a different rom on here but since it has no external sd slot, i have no idea how to put a rom on it. I didnt even finish rooting it because i didnt install superuser yet either. Any one have any suggestions to fix this? Prior to this my tablet was stock and i wasnt able to get into recovery mode so i tried rooting it and that got me a step closer.

Do a factory reset. It'll get you past the boot loop.

[Q] xperia sp stuck on boot animation after restarting again and again

hi i am new here. yesterday i flashed existenz 2.0 rom on sony xperia sp. All went right. then i flashed boot animation on it . then i restarted but it stucks on animation. now nothing is happening i have tried charging it but i think it doesnot do charging in switch off mode, so it starts again and does some charging then on animation it stucks and charging stopps and then after some time it drains the battery and gets swiched off. Then again this process continues. it is not going into recovery mode, flash mode , fastboot mode.
so if you can help me in this situation. pleeassssse

Sounds like a pretty bad bootloop does your PC recognise anything when you connect it? You need to go back to stock or at least to a working ROM. The long and short of it is to fix it you are going to need adb, recovery (if you have a nandroid backup) or flash mode. If you can't get any of them I think its bricked

Any idea how much charge is in the phone? I think you will have to keep trying to get into fastboot or recovery try power and then vol up/down or camera depending on what your recovery is I can send you a full nandroid backup of stock if you need one. You need to break into the boot cycle get into recovery (i am assuming you have installed a recovery on this device) timing will probably have a lot to do with it.
Programming is a race between engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

make sure to use the stock sony usb cable as i think flashmode doesnt work well with other usb cables. also try the other usb ports on your computer. technically,you should still be able to enter flashmode and recovery.
