Is there any way to fix this??

I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 and in an attempt to use Fresh Evo 0.5.3 I screwed something up. I downloaded the zip file while I was at work to my sd card. In Recovery I went into "install zip from sdcard" and selected the zip. When I went to reboot the screen gave me the white boot up. After about 10 seconds the screen went black, then the white boot up came back on. This loops continuously.
On top of this, I didn't install the Evo-Recovery correctly (I dont have any recovery that I know of).
I was using the DetoxEVO Theme prior to this, and attempted to go back to it after wiping both user data and cache partition. The loop continued to happen.
I'm completely lost here and really would appreciate some help. Is there a way to access my sd card and drop the Evo-Recovery in and then run the recovery? If anyone could help that would be awesome.

What did you name the file that you placed on your SD card ?
You can remove the SD card and load it onto your PC via a card reader.

I've got a card reader, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I deleted the Fresh Evo 0.5.3 zip file and tried to install a recovery backup using Evo-Recovery.zip, but it's still stuck.

u had to wipe data/clear cache before u tried flashing

[Q] HELP - Can't flash ROM or backups through CWM Recovery...

I'm a relative newbie at this but I have AMOLED DInc that I rooted about 3 months old. I was trying to flash the CMOD 7 through ROM Manager but after installing and rebooting, it would hang at the splash screen (the HTC white screen). I pulled the battery and then tried to reboot again, same thing. I pulled the battery again and held the vol- with power to get into recovery. I tried to restore the one backup file I had and it just looped back saying no files. I then remembered I had kept a couple of backups on my hard drive. I hooked the phone to the computer but the sd wouldn't mount. I then went into CWM Recovery to mount the USB that way. I was able to pull the SD card up but nothing was on it. I tried copying over my old backups but the message I got was SD card was read only. I then went to format the SD card via the computer and then was able to pull over the files. However, when I go back into CWM Recovery (via the vol- and power), and then to backup/restore, it says there are no files. Anyway to manually flash or install a ROM without having ROM manager and just being able to get into CWM Recovery?

the only way to flash a rom is through CWR don't use rom manager especially for CM7. boot into recovery if you are able and try to restore one of your old backups. if not. mount your sd card to your computer and put whatever rom you wish on the root of your SDcard once done boot into recovery and DO NOT USE rom manager.scroll to factory reset. and reset. then i usually use caulkins format tool i keep a copy on my sdcards root at all times. i do it because apparently it formats the system folder to. then when everything is nice and clean then scroll to apply zip file again then flash the rom( if you want to flash any kernels do that after the rom). then reboot. and crosss your fingers.

No luck...
tried that, downloaded virtuous and incredible roms on my mac. Its weird - they say .zip when they're downloading but then show up as folder on my mac. When I moved them to the sd card and attempted to install zip file from sd card, no zip files would show up - just the folders and subfolders and indvidual files... I then "compressed" the folders to create zip files and tried again but it would attempt to install and then abort installation...
I'm guessing I permanently bricked this guy...

What version of RomManager and CWM are you on/were you running?
ROM Manager offers you a CWM update when you open it to flash an update to the underlying CWM recovery.
When updated, sadly, this is giving people across the community all kinds of trouble when a ROM that doesn't have the 'latest' (according to the developer) scripting techniques in it - as such, much pain is being felt by folk that upgraded to latest CWM and are using ROM Manager to flash.
Once you get your device back working, perhaps flash your CWM version back to something earlier than 3.x - how? Scroll to bottom of menu when in ROM Manager, look for All CWM Recoveries, flash something other than 3.x, like 2.5.1.4.
These ideas are a stretch, but worth a mention/thought:
(prefaced w/ idk much about mac)
Have you tried another SD card?
Did/can you format the SD in the device? I've read mac formatting of SD to FAT32 takes some extra steps if not an additional app on the mac. Can you get to a PC and format the SD on a PC?
fwiw, frequently on PC's, the .zip file extension is not shown ~ is it possible the files on the SD have blah.zip.zip, and are therefore unseen? This is more common that you might think.
All that said, if you can boot device at all, successfully d/l a Virtuous ROM .zip to computer, transfer it to a viable FAT32 formatted SD card, boot into recovery, choose option that says 'select zip file to apply' navigate to the Virtuous zip file, flash it, you may be back in business.
For context, AOSP ROMs (CM7) interact quite a bit w/ the SD card, even during boot - as such, SD issues or wipes or other such things are painful when booting an AOSP ROM when SD is wonky.

Installing themes

Ok so after million years I finally rooted my 2.2 phone,
I got the Crysis theme, renamed it to update and put it on my phone via debugging usb , now im suppose to go to recovery mode , so I did once I get there its all blue writing (in the video it was orange) and its <3e> , all the other videos were in Clockwork recovery, I have it and I "FLASHED" it but w.e I do its always in the default recovery.
I select update sdcard .zip ( or something like that) once I select it I get an error saying
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborte
I looked on the forums already for this problem , so I found it and it send me to this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
where I downloaded the update and 3e recovery manager, but I have no idea what to do with it I installed it and put it on my sd card, flashed but im still in the same recovery getting the same error, help please
Im using Samsung Galaxy I9000 (obv)
Thank you

3e recovery will give you signature verification errors. You should be able to get 2e recovery following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
For the link provided did you place the files on the internal storage and not the actually internal sd card?

The post you send me its way too confusing for me :/ I dont think I'll be able to do that by my self and I put the files via the debugging system, it puts them on internal memory but when I go to "Files" folder its ther

Sorry if my post was confusing. Sounds from what you are telling me that you are actually putting those files into the internal sd card. You need an app like root explorer or something that will allow you rw to the actual internal phone storage. Once you get access to the internal storage I would strongly recommend you backup your efs folder before you do anything else.

[Q] Bricked Galaxy Nexus (stuck at JB boot animation)

I have a Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) which I just rooted for the first time. I used fastboot to unlock it, and installed clockworkmod and superuser.
I then downloaded the Vicious Jelly Bean V3 ROM to my phone and flashed it (from the Downloads folder in my SD card, not from the root. I didn't realize it had to be in the root directory).
Now whenever I start my phone, I see the Google logo, then the new Jelly Bean "x" boot animation, but then it restarts itself back to the Google logo after about 30 seconds, and continues this way in an infinite loop - the phone won't boot up.
I can access the bootloader (by holding down the volume keys and power button) but I can't, say, flash back to stock ICS, because I can't transfer files to the my phone's SD card until my phone has fully booted up.
I tried wiping the cache partition and doing a factory reset, but the problem persists. What should I do?

First, make sure you're flashing a Verizon ROM, and if you are, I would suggest doing a format of your /system, /data, and /cache. Then install the ROM again from CWM. That should fix any errors you may have.

How can I install a ROM from CWM without my phone booting up? I've tried formatting /data, and /cache, but I'm still stuck on the boot animation. Unfortunately I don't have a backup.
How do you format /system?

In CWM I believe it's under Mounts and Storage.
EDIT: I use TWRP recovery, so I'm just going off of memory here.
You can still put any zip file on your SD without booting your phone up fully, you'll need to use adb commands to do it.
You'll need to open a command prompt window, change directory (cd) to where you keep your SDK folder (eg. cd sdk/platform-tools), put the ROM zip file in your SDK/platform-tools folder to make it easy, and then under the CWM menu Mounts and Storage select "mount /data" (it may already be mounted).
Then in the command prompt window, type: adb push Example.zip /data/media/
That'll push the ROM zip file to the root of your sd card. Don't enter Example.zip, type the name of the actual ROM zip file, I just used Example.zip as the example. See my screen shot of the commands.

Can't access data after 4.4 update

Hey guys, I upgraded to a 4.4 ROM from a 4.2 ROM. It looks like all of my previous internal SDcard data has been moved to /storage/emulated. How can I move this data to somewhere I can access it? Liquid Explorer file manager doesn't seem to be able to move the files to /sdcard1. And File Explorer from the app store can't even see these files. Titanium Backup and Gallery can't see any of the files either for the time being.
It looks like the permissions for sdcard0 (the new one created after flash) are drwx------ whereas the permissions for emulated (old data) are drwxrwx--x if that helps.

Also, will restoring my Nandroid for Android 4.2 mess up this data I can't access?
Edit: Tried to restore it and it keeps on failing at /data. Then it freezes. Fml
When I hit wipe data, it freezes as well.

Okay so CWM Recovery v6.0.4.5 still shows my internal data, for example if I hit "Choose zip from /sdcard" but I cannot restore my old Nandroid nor can I wipe data. Something is messed up with the /data/ partition. But my main issue right now is getting that data on the internal SDcard. Can someone help me get this data off the phone. It can access recovery just fine and it shows the files in recovery. When I mount the phone via USB, it only shows me stuff on my External SDcard.
Update: Slowly using adb pull to move all of the contents to my laptop. Now I need to figure out how to fix this mess and get a working device....
Tried to ODIN. Now it's hard bricked. No signs of life. QHSUSB_DLOAD
