I know the button sequence to get into recovery but once I go into a bootloop I've never been able to get into clockwork. Only the stock recovery( locked bootloader I presume causes this) so I load up an update.zip from sd card or sbf to stock if I have to.

Thanks for the link. But it's not working. I'll have to sbf i guess. I have used sbf before for my d1 so not really new to sbf. Thanks.

I tried them all. Intentionally put myself in loop. The only one that worked for me was the plug in one. I didn't even battery pull while plugged in. Pulled battery to stop bootloop, put battery back in, plugged in while off, liquid battery came on, let charge for a minute, held power til m came on, booted in cw. 4 times tried. 4 times into cw.

Just finished sbf to stock! it all went well, but at the end RSD lite didn't say pass. My phone went into a bootloop but I did a factory reset and it solved that. RSD said "please manual power up this phone". I just pulled the battery and went into the custom recovery and did a reset. I love rooting adventures! lol. Thank you abe 21599 for all that useful info! may you win the lotto and have a long life!...

just to let you know guys, grom now on i'm flashing clocwork recovery on rom manager and the recovery on bootstrap also!. I think you have to do both before any attempt to move to another rom. Just my 2 cts.

You mean to get to .340? I used one of my nandroid backups to go back where I was before. Actually I have one for the original system and one custom rom backup. Ok just flashed another rom(Darkslide 4.1), and it worked flawlessly. I went to sleep at 4am this morning doing this lol! Ok, time to go to work. Hey clumsyninja, thanks for your help also.

One more thing, in order for any of these methods to work, I'm pretty sure you have to flash clockwork recovery in rom manager and bootstrap recovery before you go into a bootloop. I hope this helps people to get out of those many bootloops without having to sbf and instead go straight into cw. It's funny when I tell the guys at work(the ones that have D1 and X), the things we do to our phones here. They think i'm crazy. Oh well, I just don't like being just another Joe.
