Root Help:Lost CWM Recovery access

So I decided to try out a new rom and screwed up bad somewhere along the way. I didn't install gapps so I can't access the market at all, but whats making it harder to do anything else is somehow clockworkmod recovery is inaccessible.

I tried to load up a new one via PG05IMG.zip but I can't get anything past "parsing" once in recovery.

The rom I attempted to install was Thundershed 1.4, any help is greaaatly appreciated.
 
make sure sd card is formatted FAT32(not FAT or someting else)

make sure file is named correctly. phone must see PG05IMG.zip(wich means name "PG05IMG" using windows). check the file on the phone with a file manager and see what its named.

make sure PG05IMG is on the root of the sd

you should be able to access clockwork via chosing recovery inthe hboot menu.

if youre having trouble accessing hboot,its prolly because "fastboot" was checked on in phone settings. pulling the battery for a few seconds,then immediately power/vol down usually will let you access hboot,even with fastboot checked on in the rom.

hope that helps :)
 
Thanks Scotty!

Turns out I'm have trouble with my SD Card thats why I couldn't flash anything. It's my 32gb one too so I'm trying to salvage this one somehow. I can't wipe it, I can't format it on windows or mac. I keep trying, I know there's gotta be a way. Luckily I managed to get gapps atleast.
