My Phones Keeps an Eternal Recovery Boot Loop

Since my phone suddenly stopped to receive internet for more than a month, I decided to make a wipe from the system. It had apparently worked fine until I got to the ClockworkMod Recovery screen. Now I can't access the operating system. Everytime, it boots to the recovery screen. I seem to have all the drivers (see attachment), but I don't know how to access it through ADB shell. Any commands that allows me to connect to the phone and after the connection is done replace the recovery flash with another one?

I used to access it by opening it first with SuperOneClick, but now SuperOneClick never makes a connection. It stays: "Waiting for Device..." :(
 
yeah.

did no one ever tell you that you were NOT supposed to "factory reset" from inside the operating system?

it causes this problem.

ive never seen a how to guide without this info, so you clearly didnt read enough. or maybe simply forgot. cant blame you for that.

either way, there are quite a few threads on how to fix this that ive seen.

Yes, but I thought that only applied during the process of rooting. Not forever. Obviously I misunderstood how rooting works. When customizing Windows phones, that usually applies only during the process. Afterwards you can do it from the system or from the recovery.

I fixed it. If anyone have the same problem I accessed these two places to fix it:

1. Download Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip
2. Download vmfastbootroot
3. Put the Xionia folder as it is (zipped) into the root of your SD Card.
4. Flash Xionia zip file through your phone recovery and reboot. (Usually says "Flash or recover from zip" or something like that.)
5. Once on the blue screen, connect the phone to your computer through USB.
6. Unzip fastbootroot on your computer and run the .bat file.
7. Write "y" and press enter.
8. Select option number 2: "Flash the full package" and wait until it finishes
9. Shutdown the phone and turn it on again.
10. Flash Xionia once again from the new recovery.
11. Reboot, and you are good to go.

...Almost lose the phone and I still don't have internet. :(

Once you install a custom recovery and custom rom you should not do a factory reset from within the rom. You do a complete wipe from within the custom recovery. All the IHO roms have the factory reset option removed from within the rom to prevent you from doing it accidently. As for your internet not working you may need to install a rom with the activate app in it so you can reactivate the phone. Some of the froyo roms have this app. First do a backup from within the recovery, then flash froyo rom, run activate app, once internet works flash your backup from within recovery.
