ok today i copied about 5 files to my sd via usb cable. then held down the power key to reboot and held home till it came back on. it did not boot into recovery. so i pulled the battery out and tried again still nothing. i do have fast boot and i can still power on my device and use it regular jus no recovery.
i searched around ( xda search and google search ) and came up with this thread closest to my issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6101871 it made a little sense but does not quiet answer my issue. i am installing adb now incase this is needed in any steps to a booting recovery.
i am running the cm507 test 3 with the adw launcher and the google add on. yesterday i was able to access recovery but this morning idk wut happened.
Any help Please I Need recovery ( Im A Flash Fiend, I Need My Fix )
i found a fix to this issue ( THANKS RENN9420 )
what i had to do was re root my phone and start back at rc29 or drea.nbh this corrected what ever miss hap that was there earlier. if anyone needs help in the future pm me and ill help till its fixed.
How come everyone reroots when they run into a situation such as this?
Did you even try reflashing the recovery image? That's fixes this 90% of the time.
Come on, if you accidentally put sausages on a pizza before you cooked it, wouldn't you simply remove them instead of throwing the pizza away and completely remaking it?
Either way, glad you fixed your problem. Just, next time, look into issues a bit deeper before resorting to rerooting.
So I was looking through the topics in this part of the forum today, and I saw "[Q] What is causing "Communication Failed" error?" (It won't let me post the link to it?) I followed the link in that topic and did what that guy said would help, and after doing that I restarted my phone. It did all of the startup animations correctly, I can still access the recovery menu out of it, but when I get past the startup animations, I'm just greeted with a black screen. The buttons on the bottom of the phone are lit up, but the screen gives no response. I can't turn it off without taking out the battery, and that doesn't help. If possible I'd like to try to fix this without sending my phone in, or without deleting the user data. Any fixes for this?
I would try re-downloading the ROM you want to use and then re-install it. But maybe there's a better fix, that's just what I've done whenever I encounter something strange.

I can't exactly put anything onto my phone with this problem. I can't access the screen at all past the startup animations. It's just black.
Not Bricked!
You have a few options as it seems your phone is "on" and should be recognized by your computer still.
What was it you were doing to the phone before it started doing this behavior.. wasn't quite clear on that....
If it was a mod to change your framework-res.apk. You can find the "stock" one in the ROM you originally downloaded and revert back to stock by doing an ADB Push to your /system/media folder.
Or... you will need to flash your phone back to stock - which means you will need to go here and download Odin and run it.
Always helps to have that "plan b". Bottom line though - your phone isn't bricked and you should be able to restore it and continue on. But... please note that ODIN will wipe your phone and anything you had on it will go bye bye.

I followed the advice on how to fix that problem in the second post in that topic. When I restarted my phone the screen just ended up going black. I'm going to try that Odin thing, I hope it works.
e. It's kinda annoying how I can't post links.
Ok Edit again, I've tried the Odin thing, and it just isn't working. Now whenever I try to put my Simcard back in, It doesn't even do the startup things, it just goes to that Phone Caution symbol PC picture thing. I'm worried that I'd have to go get a replacement.
Can you please provide us with a list of everything you have done to your phone and how you tried to use Odin? That will help us help you. Please be specific, this will get you the help you need. I read the link, did you use ADB or the first method in that thread? Sounds like you messed up while trying to fix your device manager. I am not sure how it is you tried to use Odin, try using a rear usb port, Odin can be a pain, make sure you have the drivers installed.
Ok, Here's a list of what I've done to my phone over the past few days.
1. I rooted it.
2. I kinda sorta half-assed the process of allowing me to put on Non-Market apps onto my phone, I made it so that the settings.db file had the permissions all set up, but I never replaced the first settings.db file. (It's just sitting on my phone's interal SD card.)
3. I tried to do that Non-ADB method listed in that topic I linked to. After that I started having these problems.
4. I accidently ended up clearing the Data cache through the recovery menu thing. Just an accidental moving of the buttons. It didn't seem to effect anything.
5. I booted the phone into recovery mode and tried the Odin thing. It got stuck at File Analysis, and I tried again. It still got stuck, and I let it continue trying it while I was eating dinner. After I got back it was still on that, so I took out the USB cord and phone battery and put the Sim card back in. When I try to boot it up it goes to that PC error phone thing. (I can't exactly get an image of it, I hope you know what I'm talking about.)
And that's all I've done to it. I'd try a different USB port, but I don't have any more. I'd try my other computer, but that's a Linux machine, and Odin is a Windows/DOS executable file. I'm pretty sure the drivers are installed correctly, as I had been doing stuff with the phone via USB just yesterday.
I hope that's enough detail to help figure out something.
I'd hate to doulbe post, but I really really do need the help with this. If any of you have any advice for it all, please, feel free to contribute. If there is no fix for this, and my phone is actually bricked, just let me know so I can go get a replacement.
Did you make sure you had odin started up BEFORE you put your phone in download mode? Odin is very touchy and you have to do things exactly right or it won't work.
Yes, I've made sure to follow all of the steps right to the last peroid. I'm probably just going to have to go get a replacement anyway.
Hi I have weird situation for some reason I cannot install custom roms via clockwork for my streak 7. In addition whenever I click on the recovery button, the tablet reboots and take me right back to the T-Mobile screen and eventually the main screen. This is the only issue I seem to be facing.. I have root and superuser I have reinstalled with Nflash several times but I still receive the same issue. If. I manually try to install a rom in clockwork , it goes through the steps but the little bar does not turn green or orange..it just goes through the motion and says complete...

Moving to General
I have flashed several builds of CM10 (21/08 -29/08) and found that it starts rebooting if something goes wrong with WIFI. Sometimes it goes continuous rebooting until I remove the battery. Sometime it starts but when I turn on WIFI it starts rebooting again. The only solution is to take the battery out and flash the ROM again to make it working.
Can someone please let me how to solve this problem?
Try fixing permission from recovery...
I flashed the wrong TWRP now my screen is just black every now and again it will just reset itself and the screen will go black again. I have tried putting it into download mode but I can't seem to be able to do this and was wondering if there was a fix.
If you were able to fix this, please share how you did. You might be able to help someone else with the same problem.
