Root Bootloop, just need to to get to Recovery

[irmac]

Hey guys, just flashed Apex after wiping and didn't realize I had to load it up once before flashing a them so I just flashed the theme. Now I'm stuck in bootloop but could easily fix it if I could get to the custom recovery. Is there a way to do this? Or am I going to have to flash maderstock?

Have you tried holding down the home button while turning the phone on to get to the stock android recovery, you will see the android with a triangle, then hit the search button to get to stock recovery.
I had the same thing happen a few days ago and just getting to stock and hitting reboot got me into the clockwork recovery. But, you can also do a wipe data/factory reset from there.

Good luck.

with phone on.
plug in wall charger.
pull battery.
wait 30 or so seconds.
replace battery,let reboot to recovery.

im not sure why everyone avoids sbf'ing...ive done it multiple times and its not that big a deal....you just get to start over and go on....its not like it costs any money or anything....
dont get me wrong....i dont love to sbf; but its not that big a deal either....

Yeah, once you have done it 3-4 times it is old hat. Hell, I even sbf now if I'm flashing a new ROM just to get a fresh start. lol

Thanks for this tip. I just got stuck in a bootloop today. running Apex. This fixed it. I had to do a factory reset but its fixed now.

I need to do regular Titanium backups....
