    Can you restart and get the device to boot normally?

    I would suggest flashing CWM by using the update.zip and flashing roms and kernels that way. I don't think you can go to 4.2.2 roms this way, but 4.2 and 4.1 roms have only minor differences - personally I would use the Minix firmwares but if you do this make sure you have a CWM kernel for the mk808 on the ready.

        I can reboot the device, yes.
        OK just instaled CWM..there is a program called "reboot" and it has also an option for a bootloader reboot and still 808 goes into recovery so... it's final. Nothing can put me into a bootloader mode. Can you please give me links with proper firmware and kernel i can use? Im a total noob with those.
        Thanks again.

          Booting to CWM can be finicky with some apps, I have several rebooters, some saying 'Boot to CWM recover' and they don't. If it installed correctly one of them will.

          You will know when it does as the penguins will come up. When I can get chance I can tell you what rebooter app will get you into CWM.

          As for CWM Roms, the Minix Neo G4 on the first page of this sub forum is designed for CWM and has instructions for installing. Leolas also has a thread with Finless Roms that have been converted to CWM.

          As mentioned, if you use the Minix firmware you will need to find kernels in CWM format. I know for a fact the Omegamoon overclock kernels come pre CWM - you will get a decent performance boost with the overclocking so might be worth checking those out.

          I'm sure there is a thread about the Omegamoon kernels, or you could just get them from his website via google.

                  Using Moto Reboot, if you press reboot to bootloader it will boot you to CWM. If it doesn't it hasn't installed correctly. I doubt your mk808 is a special case and can't boot into recovery.

                  I also recommend not using any Finless rom unless 2.1. The 4.1 Finless roms are using much worse stock bases. It is more hassle to flash a rom, then kernel, but you only need to do this once.

                  I personally would download the minix firmware and omegamoon kernel, unless someone has upload bob's stock kernels in CWM format you will have to connect the mk808 to a PC to flash the kernel unless you find a rom that already has an mk808 kernel and is in CWM format.

                    You can just replace the kernel.img of the firmware with any mk808 kernel.img you want.

                      Wont that break the signature of the .zip? I thought they have to be signed in order to check corruption or CWM won't allow the flash.

                        That is just the case for the original recovery. CWM is a custom recovery and does not check the signature by default.

                                Just swap the kernel and you should be fine.
