Sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. I wasn't able to find an answer to my question...
My wife has an old MyTouch 3G. We have two months left on our contract before we make the jump to Verizon. So, I decided to try a new ROM on her phone. I downloaded Ginger Yoshi, booted to the Clockworkmod Recover screen, wiped the device, and tried to flash Ginger Yoshi. However, it told me that it was "(bad)". So, I decided to load the recovery that I created. I did that and it said it worked, but now when I boot up the phone, it just gets stuck on the MyTouch 3G splash screen. I tried getting back to the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen, but it just give me the ! inside the triangle screen. I'm totally new to this. Is there anything I can do?
Update: I can get to the "Android system recovery" screen at least. It gives me 4 options.
reboot system now [Home + Back]
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache partition

Can u get in the fastboot mode? (Power+Back) Then your phone isn't bricked, and you're able to flash/boot a new recovery. I trought fastboot commander can do it.

Basically i desided i would give the Rom manger and Clock Work Recovery a try, So i downloaded the App from the market and installed it then used it to flash the recovery. However now when i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the Vodafone Screen at boot up.
I tried to reflash RA Recovery however if i do it within the Rom Manager it does the same and hangs when trying to boot to recovery mode. I tried flashing it by the terminal but that did work either.
So does anyone know what i should do!
try flashing via fastboot
how do i use fastboot? when i boot to fast boot the only options i have are
HBoot Mode
Reset device
Restart to HBoot
Power down
OK i tried flashing using fastboot but i got an error 'FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)'
same problem
i got the saame problem as youu!

I have been able to fix my problem hope this helps for you to!
i downloaded Amon_RA's recovery and trying installing using the terminal method. I got memory errors saying i was out of memory etc. so i turned SWAP on with 128mb and then swappyness to 60 an tried again, and this time it worked!
Couldnt be complete luck but i would give it a try if i was you
What worked for me.
I had this same problem. I spent hours and hours trying everything under the sun. This happened to me on Cyanogen 5.0.7 DStest7. I notice a lot of people on the cyanogen forum claiming that's what they use. I purchased the pro version and installed clockwork recovery through the app. I tried a lot of things and they all failed. I tried droid explorer exe to flash the recovery, fastboot method, I tried reflashing clockwork, terminal with and with out memory managers running. Finally, I tried flashing the Amon 1.6.2 recovery 3 times in a row with the clockwork app. I did a reboot every time. The last one took and I uninstalled clockwork. I'll probably never change it.
it has only killed your recovery because you selected the wrong option, you must flash the first option (Ion/MyTouch 3G) this is the version for the vodafone 32B handset
I was also frustrated when i chose the HTC Magic option and it hanging on the red voda splash screen
Hope i helped
please somebody helps me with the recovery as well..

You have a few options.
1) load the PD15IMG and boot into Hboot and reset the entire system, but you will have a clean slate and have to start 100% over again.

2) boot into HBoot and navigate to (recovery) and see what type of a recovery image you have. If it is orange you can load Cyanogen CM7RC1 w/ the G/APPS and get your phone rocking with 2.3 (Gingerbread)
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15769-cyanogenmod-7-for-mytouch-4g-v700-rc1-2152011/
3) boot into HBoot and navigate to (recovery) and see what type of a recovery image you have. If it is Green then you can load any 2.2 based ROM. along with the G/APPS (if needed) there are many of these in the Development section.
4) If you have a triangle with a "!" in it then you need to flash a recovery image. Once again there are multiple threads on this in the development section.
(to get into HBoot turn off the phone, power on the phone holding the volume down button and the power button)
Hi there, Ive just been trying to get root on the phone. I flashed CWM 3.0.2.4 onto my NS (2.3.4) and now it only boots into CWM, wont boot into android. How do I get it to boot to android! No idea what to do, Ive googled the **** out of this and just get loads of conflicting stuff, none of which works!
Thanks for the help!
What is the command you used to flash CWM onto your phone?
hi i have the same problem. i have i9023 and i made:
oem unlock command and the flash recovery command.
everything was ok.
then i used superroot-user-install.bat or something like that (which was mistake on 9023 i think)
after this i can start phone with volume up+power and can go into recovery.
but if i want to reboot into system i had just google logo and litlle logo of lock down on the screen and thats all.
Stupid question: did you try yanking the battery?
I have the same problem! I'm stuck in the ClockworkMod Recovery. Rebooted the phone multiple times, no change :S
EDIT: Panic is over, fixed it
I got that problem too when i tried to root my NS, then I downloaded the stock image > extract to get the original bootimage > flash it > reboot CWM recovery > problem solved.
I tried to flash cyanogenmod onto my vodafone 32B HTC Magic and now it's stuck on a boot loop. I rooted it with super one click, then used amon-ra recovery to load up cyanogenmod. It got to the vodafone red screen then just keeps restarting once every 20 secs or so. I suspect it's because I didn't do a full wipe before flashing, I only clearled dalvik cache. So I tried booting up to recovery but amon-ra isn't loading up and its going back to the android default recovery, which I cant use to reflash another rom. I can't communicate with the phone via ADB (does not recognise device). fastboot can recognise the phone but I can't push anything onto it since I didn't update my SPL (it's at s-on).
So is there any way for me to get amon-ra recovery back onto it or otherwise boot up my phone again?
Find a sappimg.zip and flash that and start over is what I would suggest
I concur :0)
So I'm kinda new at this, I was attempting to remove root and by a stupid rookie mistake decided to format system, and even stupider, format boot.
now when i power on my phone, i get the white "HTC EVO 4G" Screen, but then it goes into fastboot and just chills there. I can boot into the bootloader screen by holding VOLDOWN when I power up, but even after trying to install roms from there it fails.
Did I brick my phone, or can someone fix it..
Wrong forum... That said how are you installing roms from boot loader? they need to be installed from recovery. Which recovery do you have installed and can you boot into it? I'm assuming you are since you say you are installing ROMs.

My bad, I wasn't sure..
But I have clockwork recovery mod 2.6.0.1
I guess I wasn't clear though, I'm trying to do it from recovery, but my bootloader is.. odd? I'm not sure. When I power on regularly it goes into fastboot with the options
-bootloader
-reboot
-reboot bootloader
-power down
and yes, I can boot into clockwork recovery
also is there anywhere anyone knows of that i can get a .sbf file for it? A friend said thats what i need
All you need to do is boot in to recovery, wipe data, and flash any rom. You formatted the system and boot partitions so there is nothing for the phone to boot up and that's why it keeps going to the bootloader.
Is it safe to assume you don't have a backup on your sdcard?
You are not bricked. Bricked is a phone does not power on or do anything at all. Ur phone is fixable.
