Im running fly x rom with drop box red theme on my droid x, I can open rom manager and then boot into recovery, but I can't open the recovery from boot, if I hold power and volume down, it just boots fly x. Is there something im doing wrong? Is this something I should be concerned with? The rom is working fine so far, its been one day use and im afraid that down the road this could become a problem since I can't manually recover my device while running this rom

Do you mean stock recovery?
That's VOlume Down, Search & power at the same time isn't it?
That's the problem, I can't do that while running fly x final rom
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Its home button and power.
Thanks for your help,holding down the home button didn't work, only the stock recovery opens, but holding ut with the volume down opened the clockwork recovery after it, I selected reboot system from stock, then clockwork opened after. Thanks alot, now I can rely on my fly x rom with no fear of the future.

Anybody know how to get into Bootloader mode on the Inspire 4G? I have tried holding the Volume Down button while restarting and all the phone does is vibrates and reboots normally. Am I missing something?
You're doing it right (Vol Dwn + Power)
Just make sure to hold volume first before you hold power.
Make sure you have fastboot turned off in sense.
I press volume down, then select "restart". Keep holding power down until you get into bootloader.
I take the battery door off to power off, then slap it on real quick then hold volume - down, then hold power button. It can be a little tricky to do. Then ull be in bootloader and have four options to choose from. Ive only done it manually this way because i was in boot loop. Was scared ****less the first time i got boot loop, cause i wasnt sure if there was a way to get to recovery manually lol.

Are you guys booting into clockworkmod? When I hold down volume and power it goes into that.

If you manually do the volume button and power button trick it should put you in bootloader mode then you can choose to boot into recovery, ive never had my inspire boot right into recovery unless i choose it in rom manager.

i tried doing that but it just goes to fastboot the reason that i want it to go to bootloader im trying to re-flash it back to stock...
Power your phone off. Now that your phone is off hold the volume button down and tap the power button. Now you should be in bootloader mode. If your trying to get into recovery mode download rom manager from the marketplace.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
be sure you have Fastboot turned off in Applications.
Another thing you can do is download Quickboot from the market...then boot into bootloader from there. Quickboot>bootloader
Is it really that difficult??lol, for me when I hold the power button while phone is on, it gives me multiple options to reboot , including bootloader and recovery...
If your phones off , then just holy the vol down and off key .
Oh and I have fastboot on and I have no problems.

That's because your running a ROM with an extended power menu. Other people might not be.
A lot of the people that are having problems are probably running sense roms and have fastboot on. I got confused by this at first because with fastboot on it doesn't actually shut off so the down and power method doesn't work

You can download quick boot from the market. Makes so much easier booting into recovery.
yeah Im trying to do that I am able to boot in where it shows Hboot and then you have other options to choice from but Im not all able to select anything it just scans and then go to the scan mode and ask if i want to update
I was thinking about installing the gingerbeast. Has any installed that?
I did a nanadoid back up went into Rom Manger and clicked flash C/W-R and I made that..and I did that backup current ROM also.

You can delete it either using a file manger app like astro, root explorer etc or you can do it by connecting your phone to your PC.
As to flashing a rom. Place the file in the root of your SD card to make it easier to find. I prefer to do my flashing manually. Boot into recovery either through rom manager or through hboot. Scroll down to wipe data/factory reset. Select with power button ans confirm in the next screen. Next go into advanced and select delete dalvik cache. Confirm. Now select go back and choose install from SD card. Scroll to gingerbeast rom and select and confirm.
And yes you'll be able to reads your wallpaper

LOL, that was happenning to me recently (sometime yasterday). I thought that was it, the end of my Inspire, and I did VOL UP+POWER , I even trying to hook up to pc and redo the rooting, wouldn't work at on. Then google is my best friend , VOL DOWN+POWER got me back to Recovery mode, I will remember for the rest of my Android phone's life
that takes me into regular recovery not clockworkmod
Do you see an option that says Recovery after you get into hboot?

Also, make sure you don't have a PD98IMG file on the root of your SD card or it will always try to install that and not let you select recovery from the options. ( this happened to me multiple times before I realized what was going on.)

has this problem already came up if so I missed it a link would be nice to fix my phone Thanks
I could be misunderstanding your problem here but I think i had a similar issue... first of all make sure you're holding down the power button long enough to boot up. Seems to take 4 or 5 seconds with this phone.
Also when I had the issue i took out the bat, put it back, plugged into a wall charger and then held the power button that worked. But I think really my issue was impatience not holding the power button the first time long enough.
no i am the screen wont say updating or whatever when i hold the up and down button but it looks for a driver ?? and installs the Right driver
helpppppppppp your way to the search button.
Thread moved to proper forum.
You only hold volume down and power. I had the same issue. Holding both volumes will cause the phone to not boot.

So you flashed the recovery before you rooted. Try reflashing the original recovery. I don't know if that will work. You should have rooted then flashed recovery.

thats what im doing now but gewt stuck at waiting for bootloader to int for some reason
Well your g2x will never go out of the updating screen you have to wait until one click says it has transfered the file. Wait a minute or so after that and unplug the USB and put your battery back in the I would do a master rest.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
thing is my lg screen is black can i still root with a black screen ? like i said only action i get out of the g2x is if i hold the vol up And Down and plug it in then i hear the sound of the computer finding it witch gives me hope
I would try recovering recovery befor trying to root again. I would do the nvflash but pick the original recovery instead of cm. Then after that master reset by original recovery which is hold power and down volume. Recovery will rest your rom. Rooting puts you root permissions I believe into a different partition any ways that's how a master reset does not wipe them. Your problem sounds like more of a recovery issue then root.

It is problem is it stays at Waiting for Bootloader int how long should that be there?
are you holding the volume buttons down and plunging in the usb before you select the version? you have to continue holding them the whole time. should pick it up in matter of seconds.
I just upgraded to MIUI 2.1.13 with ESP kernel. The option to reboot to clockwork recovery has totally disappeared. Suggestions?
Maybe there was a bug with it. To get into cwm all you have to do is power down your phone, hold the power button and volume down button until you see the recovery
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Upgrade to 2.1.20 with someone who cooks in the 4 way reboot, or enter recovery the old-fashioned way.
The reboot from power option hasent ever worked for me on 2.1.13 i always just hold power and vol. Down just as fast for real imo of course

You might also try Optimus 2X recovery reboot found in the Market. I use it quite a bit.
I just recently got my referb bolt ( my original died.. capacitive buttons stopped responding...)
speed rooted it using the AIO thunderbolt tool and all went well.:laugh:
However, I have ONE really odd issue. I can get into recovery using rom manager, power menu options and through the bootloader reboot into recovery, BUT I CANNOT use volup+power to get into recovery and I cant figure out why.
I tried re-flashing CWM using the AIO tool. I tried using TWRP I even re-flashed CWM in rom manager and cleared my caches. This isnt a huge issue, but 99% working isnt cool and I would hate to have something go wrong later where i need volup+power.
appreciate it guys:good:
I thought it was vol down

Yea volume up and power never worked for me to get into recovery. It's volume down but it takes you to the bootloader not recovery. On my eris it would take you to the recovery but the dinc2 and this device dont.

i dont recall vol up and power ever doing anything on HTC phones. I know it doesnt on the TB. I think you might be getting mixed up with Samsungs.

I must be going crazy, but I could of sworn we were supposed to be able to boot right to recovery using vol up+ power on the bolt. I knew about vol down for boot loader.Maybe I just haven't flashed my phone in forever.
I DO have a Samsung device...maybe I'm confused.
