I have a rooted phone and flashed a few Roms. Tried flashing one and it wouldn't load and when i I go to recovery it is the stock recovery program and not Clockwork Recovery. I can't load any of the backups that i made because the stock recovery only looks for .zip files and any of the other ROMS won't install (I get "E:signature verification failed, Installation aborted error message). I just want to be able to actually get the phone to turn on. Please help

Even if i have to go back to stock I'll do that but I the factory data wipe on this limited recovery screen doesn't do anything for me.

I am afraid you are going to have to fxz back to 902 using rsd lite. Though I could be wrong. But that should get you unbricked. Are you using safe strap or boot strap?

I was using Bootstrap, I backed everything up and flashed a ROM Blackhole Bionic (the irony is not lost on me). The recovery is the stock bionic recovery so I can't load any of my backups. If I have to do a complete reset that's fine because it seems like that is my only option. I was on .905 and not really sure why clockwork isn't loading. I was going to try this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...-5-893-fxz-901-902-compatible-902-update.html but wanted to make sure that was the right thing to do first. I have everything else backed up that i need so wiping everything doesn't bother me.

Yes, that is the fxz method you can use. The drivers in that link are not the latest though. These are:

I would suggest you use safe strap in the future for making backups and flashing custom roms.

Just for future reference IMHO safe strap is better and safer way to flash I was running black hole with safestrap for awhile. Never a problem with safestrap so far.
