Root Phone won't reset or boot into recovery image.

[carlito77]

For some reason, my phone, evo v 4g, will not boot the recovery image. It just reboots the phone. I even try to do a factory reset but again, it just reboots. I'm using the Harmonia 3.12 ROM and it boot fine, I can make calls, surf, etc.. but I can't go into the recovery image or reset. Have I, dare I say, bricked the phone? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to reflash whatever recovery you're using? sounds like a bad flash of the recovery.img.

Worst case scenario, you can get the 4EXT app off the Play Store and flash 4EXT recovery from inside the app. Might be worth doing regardless, as it's a great recovery

Thanks for your replay. That was the problem. I had the wrong image. Used the original image when I rooted phone and everything's good. Scared of trying the factory reset now but thanks man.

When running any custom roms make sure that you factory reset through the recovery and not through the settings menu, you risk a good chance of bootlooping otherwise.

We used to risk a chance of bricking back in my LG OV days. Don't ever factory reset from within a ROM, everyone who mods their android phone needs to know that.
