Won't boot in what way? Can you get into fastboot and/or recovery? Since you're asking about CWM, I'm assuming you can get into it.
If you did a Nandroid backup (the main point of CWM for me), you could try just restoring it. If you didn't, I'd try a wipe all settings and then reboot. You should be able to get back to a virgin state on the main OS that way.

I can get into it, the problem is i erase all data on my phone. Thanks in advance!

???
Is there any way i can get my phone back up and running restoring everything from clockworkmod?

I'm still confused what your problem is.
You say the phone won't boot, but then you talk about erased data.
What exactly did you do to the phone? What was the last few things you did before you "broke" it?
What happens when you try to boot the phone (ie., it's powered off and you press the power button)? How far in the boot process does it go?
If your problem is that the phone boots but all your data is gone, there's no way to get back unless it auto-syncs down from Google, or you used a backup program like Titanium, or you made a nandroid backup in CWM.
If you made a nandroid, you should just be able to boot into CWM, select backup and restore and then restore your backup.

This is what happened....
I tried to replace my fonts in system that are supposed to work on a different phone. Then when i tried to boot up the phone was stuck on the silver google logo. Now, after that i went into clock work recovery and formated everything in the mounts and storage menu. After reinstalling the phones boot img, my phone freezes at the google logo. I can still get into the clockworkmod recovery. I never backed it up, but tried to use a nandroid someone posted online but i get a md5 mismatch.
Again, thank you for all your help!

The Modaco rom(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883985) should work just fine. Put it on the USB storage then in Clockwork go to "Install from zip."

i have a problem almost like that but my rom manager open but wont even backup current rom or anything, my titanium back doesn't backup either. it said i could not acquire root privileges, this app will not work, please vertify that you rom is rooted and includes busybox, i have busybox and it's rooted. i guess this happen when i update the google update last night from rom manager. what should i do

Known issue. There is a thread in the Development section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884499). The OTA "broke root."

Ouch. Now I understand.
In the future, always make a nandroid backup before messing around with things, easiest way to recover.
I see you're looking for help in this thread. Maybe they can help you.
You could also try flashing Doc's or Paul's roms also in that section.

rom
I tried that custom rom... still didnt work. Im going to give it another shot!

Did you wipe/factory reset before attempting to install? I realize that you're pretty much wiped at the moment, but always best to start with that.

You've tried another NAND backup, besides the one that MD5 mismatched, yar? Be careful not to rename it, as that can cause the mismatch.

Nope
Nope i didnt try any...

Do i have to rename it to update.zip?

The custom rom? No, you just go into recovery, wipe/factory reset, install from SD card, then navigate to where you put the .zip on the SD card.
I see you did try the 2.3.1 NAND backup in the development section. Try downloading it again on your PC, unzip it, then place the new folder on the clockworkmod's backup folder on your SD card. Again, do not rename it.

Im trying it now.

Be warned that if you do get the NAND to restore, you may lose clockwork recovery. I know I did when I first tried to use it.
Don't panic though, because you can fastboot flash clockwork back on from the bootloader.

restore stock recovery

I accidentally blasted my stock recovery backup... can someone put one up? would that even work (me restoring someone elses stock recovery)?
The clockworks won't let me power off the phone while its in the charger and I don't want to RUU if I don't have to.
Thanks

Its NEVER a good idea to try to restore a backup from a different phone to your device. Just run the RUU and do over. Then store the new nandroid backup to your hard drive on your pc as an extra precaution.

I would suggest that also

I am not trying to restore the ROM, just the recovery.
Oh well, RUU isn't too bad.

It is Clockwork?

He doesn't like the bug that doesn't allow you to have your phone off while on the charger. I don't blame him.

I fully agree. When I have some time this weekend, I am going to look into porting amon_ra's recovery to the shift.

Does anyone know if the Heroc has this issue with CWM? I don't recall ever running into this bug...

Exactly. I can't bump charge the phone, and since there are no roms that interest me currently or a way to do a nandroid that will capture the wimax keys I don't really see a reason to keep clockwork on it.
Please someone come out with a clockwork for our device that works, preferably with full ROM manager support

apparently this is a bug with CWM in general. or so I've read.

i have a problem related... i have a S5830, with Froyo 2.2.2, i was try intall CWM, but later the recovery don't load, but the SO load corectly, somebody say me this problem is because the CWM is only for Ginger, my question is... i can restore my recovery to the original??
PD: sorry for my english

Only if you already have a nand backup. Otherwise your going to have to RUU back to stock and start over.

[Q] pleas help

i wanted to upgrade my wildfire with the latest CyanogenMod but i coudint then i went to restore my backup but nothing happend ether now i'm stuck in the htc start screen pleas help me.

Have you made a nanroid back up?
Make sure you unzip the rom from the right place on your SD card.also try and wipe the cache and reinstall the cm7 rom.
If that doesn't work! I can try and send you one of my old backed up roms.

Make sure you clear data and format the system partition before restoring the backup.

i did and nothing happen. is there a way i can get to my files via usb?

you won't be able to access files unless you select disc drive, and you can't do that. are you trying to install through hboot?

if you take the battery out of the phone and go to the bootloader screen and boot into the recovery screen and select the nandroid screen you will be able to mount the usb storage from there at least i can from my wildfire, hope this helps you

If you don't have a nand the safest thing to do is reflash, It's good for you every now and then anyways

do nands include splash screens? could i just make one now then do a ruu or some thing.. re-root, then restore?

No the splash screen won't change unless you ruu.
Edit: you should try to use a different splash screen ie.. go thru the steps to flash a new splash screen but use a different one. Sounds like maybe the file you used maybe corrupted in some way.

i did that... after i flashed i flashed back to my old one...
what im saying is if i made a nand backup now then if i did a ruu to fix the splash issue then re root then restore to my nand would the problem still be there?

No,If you did a nand of what you are running now, then ruu'd the ruu would replace the splash img. Then once you re-rooted then restore your nand you would have the splash img. that is in the ruu then you could try again to replace the splash img that you want.

ok thanks...
first im going to try
reflashing cm7 179
then backing up and flashing a ruu
then restore
thanks for the help!

while backing up it kept saying stuff like
cant mount /cache/recovery/log
cant open /cache/recovery/log
cant mount /cache/recovery/command
stuff like that... also i might just do a advanced restore data to cm7

Are you serious? Make a nandroid backup with a custom recovery like TWP, CWM or Philz Touch.
