Android Recovery System Malfunction

[SoZoe]

Hi, Okay I rooted my phone like 5 months ago with superoneclick I think and then had IHO-Mod well I accidently went and click factory reset while I was in Android. Then I got stuck in Clockwork Recovery but I used Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery file to get me out of it. Well it worked but theres one problem everytime I restart my phone it goes into Android Recovery System and erases and formats my phone. and There is no way to get it to boot back into the android bios like thing. What do I do? Thanks and Hope you can help, and oh if your going to give me directions to use adb will you please explain the steps, I'm not that experienced with it. Thanks again.

Try this, use the fix bootloop option in xionia, then flash a new rom. If you factory reset you don't have an os on your phone. You may even have to flash all the way back to stock, stock recovery and unroot. Then start all over again. Just google for the stock rom and recovery.

There is no way to get into the bootloader thing nor will adb idk how else to go about this

Try holding the home, volume down, and power buttons all at once and see if it boots into recovery. Its either those buttons or menu, volume down, and power that will boot phone into recovery. Once in recovery you can flash a new rom.

I've tried that plenty of times it just goes straight into android system recovery and deletes and reformats everything.

I figured out how to get back to the clockwork mod recovery. Install rom manager using the apk file ( ClockworkMod ROM Manager - Recoveries ) open rom manager while your device is on, then flash clockwork recovery onto it again like u did the first time. then click reboot into clockwork recovery then when it restarts you'll get back to the bios thing.

I haven't been able to fix the rest of my problems though. Hope this helps SoZoe

What you could do,is go and find flash gui app. It works alot easier than rom manager,just put the recovery.img on sdcard. Open flash gui and find recvery and flash. Works all the time for me.

I finally got mine fixed completely. Had to use fastboot to fix it.fastboot binary for windows! - xda-developers
Some background information first:
(here is what I did to fix the same exact issue u had)
1. redownload rom manager, run it, flash clockwork mod, then select reboot to recovery.
2. format the phone completely(this was in the advanced options of my bios); format the system.img, boot.img. cache.img, recovery.img then rebooted the phone.
3. This took it to the blue screen (fastboot mode)
4. for the next part, you'll need https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B0...Njg0M2I3MGRkNmVh&sort=name&layout=list&num=50 this is a stock 2.2 for optimus v. It includes all the system.img, boot.img, cache.img, and recovery.img
5. once you have all of those files extracted on your computer, hook up your phone to your pc and open up fastboot binary then proceed to the quoted info:

Your phone will boot into a blue screen which is bootloader but will not be recognized. Install the fastboot drivers in windows by going to start/devices and printers/android device I clicked it and chose hardware/properties/change settings/driver/update driver/
It gives you two options automatically search and manual search. Choose
automatically search. It will install the fastboot drivers. Then in command prompt type this
Code:

fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot

6. if all you want is stock 2.2 thats all you need to do. If you want gingerbread, power off the device before it boots up to the stock by taking out the battery. get back to the bios by holding; home key, vol down and power button until the lg splash window comes up and flash the gingerbread zip and the gapps zip.
