I mad a booboo

Ok so here's what happended I used boot animation to change my boot screen. Since then everytime I reboot my phone it goes to the clockworkmod recovery screen and i'll have to select reboot system now to get the phone to boot right. Tried a restore if the phone and still does it. Also tried to repair permissions through rom manager. Any ideas of what to do?
Thanks!

This is one of the problems of having to bootstrap the recovery. If it really bothers you that much you could try SBFing.

Is this stock or a custom rom?
Have you tried getting your boot screen back to its original form?

No recovery

I permrooted, and flashed cwm3.0.0.5 and flashed cm 7 build 23 on my glacier. It didn't work and would not boot post the animation, the animation kept looping. So I flashed the stock system since it would not restore my backups and did a factory reset. Now I have no recovery. I rerooted up to the s-on part (can't find the root file for s-off) installed rom manager and that says I successfully flashed a new recovery. I tried this with earlier versions of clockwork and each time I'm greeted with a black screen, and red triangle/exclamation point. How do I get my recovery back?

It isn't possible to install clockwork recovery unless you are s=off, so you will need to do that before you can get cw to install.

Where can I get the root file for s-off?

You can search for anyone of the "how to root" threads in the development section.
But to answer your question.... here is the link.

Ok, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but cm7 will not boot. The boot animation keeps looping. I let it run for about 10 min before trying again and same thing. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone help?

Cm7 build 25 as of today, but I have tried since build 23. I have the latest cwm from rom manager, but I have also tried with cwm 3.0.0.5. No error messages.

try with build 26 (newly released), use CWM 3.0.0.5, and make sure to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Let me know if that works, or what happens.

It was the dalvik cache I was forgetting to clear it. Using cm7 I noticed that my screen was not as responsive. Anyone else with this problem.

Gingerbread recovery issues

Is anyone else not able to get into recovery? I can't access stock or clockworkmod recovery.
When I try to do a factory reset through the phone phone boots into bootloader with an error message.
As always thanks for looking.

DXrecovery doesn't work with gingerbread, you gotta use the D2recovery instead

How do I get the D2 recovery for my DX. Sorry for the noob type?
So no stock recovery either?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
you need to get an sbf file of 2.2.1 and then use rsd lite to flash it to your phone... then you can use clockwork to get back.
I understand that. I'm trying to wipe data to clear up the constant sync error except I have no way of wiping data. Make sense?

Recovery Access in GB
Besides using a reboot into rocovery app, you can also shut down the phone, then pull the battery, put the battery back in and the normal Vol Down + Power will get you into Clockwork Recovery. Seems like GB is in some kind of stand by mode even when you power it down.

Stuck :(

It seams I am stuck in a boot loop , was working fine ( cm7.2 ) I had to flash the CWM V5.5.04. Bit no matter what I try I get stuck in a loop. ( Droid guy on skateboard with circle.....over and over ) please help

Well, just now had to wipe data/factory reset, so have to reload all APPS. At least I got it back to working state ! So, what do I do now that I have CWM universal boot loader installed? When I hit power button to turn on, it takes me into recovery. Shouldn't it just boot up into cm7 ??

You need to take the CWM card out or it will always boot to recovery.

Please help i think i bricked my phone

Im wondering if someone can help me. I recently rooted my phone with odin and was adding a rom. I guess it didn't download completely or correctly when I tried to install it and said it fail. I accidentally rebooted my phone. I don't have a backup on my phone to restore it. I do have a backup on my computer but cant get it onto my phone. Now my phone gets stuck on the Samsung galaxy s4 screen, and will not boot the rest of the way. I can get to the download screen. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Easiest way is to download the full rom .tar file and flash with odin. pretty sure they are posted in the dev section.
