[Q] Problem booting into Recovery (ClockworkMod)

Please help this newbie out!... I recently rooted my Inspire 4G with attn1's hack kit. That went smooth without issue and I have tried a variety of custom ROMs thanks to this great community, but I have noticed a random issue with booting into ClockworkMod Recovery since... I installed Rom Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.6 and the problem is that sometimes I can boot into recovery and sometimes not. It only seems to work is the first time I reboot immediately after flashing ClockworkMod, then subsequent reboots the phone just boots normally. (I hold volumn down and press power.) I have also tried installing Amon's Recovery (supersonic 2.3) manually using Fastboot - it seems to install without error but when I try holding the down volume button and hitting power - phone just boots normally. So it seems I am stuck with a ClockworkMod install that does not really work with reliability.... I am lost now trying to figure out why this is happening.
Can someone that has seen similar issues provide some tips/suggestions?
TIA

I had the same problem... quit using version 3.0.0.6 and go back to the earliest version, 2.5.1.3 through All ClockworkMod Recoveries. Worked for me.

You don't have 'fast boot' enabled in settings/application? If so it will not really shut off completely and when you power it up with VOL- it will not work.

i'm also having issues getting cwm to work outside the black screen. i have tried sense/ no sense roms and none have been able to bring up cwm outside the blank screen. i am also running 3.0.0.6 or whatever it is but that has not helped my issue

did you use the Simple Root method to root your phone?
can you confirm if you have s-off and root?

Sounds like fastboot is enabled. If you turn it off you will be able to boot into recovery.

i used the simple one click. yes i have root and s-off. but i'm stuck now. can not see cwm by manually booting into hboot. or through the app and clicking boot into recovery

[Q] Clockworkmod recovery not booting up
I have my phone rooted and ready to flash a custom ROM. I want to install android revolution 4g 4.0. I read that I need to ahve CWM version 3.0.0.6 to flash a 2.3 ROM. Anyways, when i select reboot into recovery in ROM Manager, my phone reboots and shows the HTC logo but then it fades to black screen and does nothing. If i press the power button, the phone reboots normally into the OS. Does anyone know how to fix this so i can install a custom ROM?

I have this exact same issue. Although i can load roms from choosing "Install from sd card" i cannot just boot into recovery and install it from there.
I just recently bought my inspire 4g a week ago.

Mine is 2 days old. Now i cant get it to boot up because it keeps trying to boot into CWM recovery but it cant. Its and endless loop.

Mine wont even load recovery. It reboots the phone but then just fades to a black screen. I cant get back into the OS

just press power button and it will reboot your phone.

still stuck doing that too. can get the phone to reboot. but stuck at htc screen or black cwm screen. also checked sd card and is corrupted. i was thinking if i could just flash a new rom over to fix boot issue. but i need some screens to blindly walk through to flash. cwm is 3.0.0.5 if that matters. thanks. on a side note. i think i have a new cm7rc2 build on a formated sd card to try and minimize the guess work on what to click

do you know how to confirm if you have S-OFF and if your phone is rooted?

no but when in hboot it says s-off in the top of the screen

pull your battery and just turn you phone on without going into Fastboot menu.

downloading now. will give update in a few min
also does it matter that my phone will not go past the white htc screen?

Are you saying that your phone shows the white HTC screen then fades to black?
if so, no, it doesn't matter...just press the power button to reboot your phone.

Try booting holding pwr and vol down together to boot to the bootloader.
From there you should be able to boot into recovery as long as your root stuck

Nope, when I click recovery, it just reboots the phone.

I am having the same issue. It began after i installed rom manager and flashed the clockword recovery and accidentally deleted the rom on the root of my sd that i was currently running. I tried back tracking. I deleted clockwork mod on my sd card and deleted rom manager from my phone and put my rom back on the root of the sd. Still no luck. It wouldnt boot into the bootloader when i had rom manager and it wont do it when I power the phone up with the volume button down. It just reboots my phone to the current rom i am running. I know this is kinda redundant to what everyone else said, i was just trying to add more details. Replies would be greatly appreciated!

im having the same problems too

same problem here..
i have followed all the steps and already <fastboot flash recovery recovery.img> and it say successful..
after that i go click Recovery my evo3d restart only..
don't boot into recovery...zzz...

Olson that just happened to me too. I flashed clockwork mod recovery from the ROM manager now I can't get into recovery. I was running TWRP... Team win recovery before ibdid this and was having no problems then... Please help!

I'm running Nocturnal stock ROM, ROM Manager, and CWM Recovery and using every option known to boot to recovery results in just a reboot. Holding down power and volume down boots to HBoot.

Same problem for me. I cannot boot into recovery...

What CWM are you guys using? I believe if you unlock via HTC method v5 of CWM wont work but v4 does. If you have a look at the Q&A section in the Evo 3d forum this question has been asked a few times so you may find an answer there.

i had same issue
this is caused when we go into ROM Manager and when >(we update the ClockworkMod)< this is whats not letting us into our revolutionary recovery. It is fixable I did this to my device a few times and just did it again I have to refresh my memory on how to fix it but once i do i will be happy to explain how i did it.

Okay like i had just mentioned in my previous message i had the same issue a few times to fix this is simple i just had to refresh my memory. Open up CMD on your computer and just like you did when rooting your device open up the folder that had all the root necessities mine was "rootevo3dnew" then with you device connected type in "fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img" then load the the bootloader by hitting the power button then hit recovery and BOOM lol you got your blue revolutionary setup.

The reason I think you guys have been having this issue is because v5 of cwm is buggy on the EVO v4 is not when you install VIA ROM manager it installs the most up to date v5 this then could cause u to lose recovery.

that is exactly what is happening but theres no need for the panic its just a simple fix all you have to do is install the cwm that came with the rooting files and u will have your recovery back people just need to avoid updating their cwm with rom manager.

flashing recovery

Ok guys, im kind of still fresh to the rooting thing.. I came from an inspire 4g and i successfully rooted and installed cwm on it with no problems (i may have gotten lucky lol). I am using the all in one tool kit to root my one x but im having a problem when i get to the flashing the recovery part. When i watched the video, after checking flash recovery his phone automatically booted into recovery. Well, for some reason i cant manage to get mine to boot into recovery in order to flash superuser. Sorry if i short on the details but any help would be greatly appreciated guys.

also, when i try to boot into the bootloader, the touch lights at the bottom of the phone just flash when holding vol down and the power button.

Try again after sometime ! Do a full wipe and try to flash recovery , or go to stock and flash recovery, switch of the phone and try again

ok i got the recovery flashed and everything seems to be working fine now.. but i cant figure how to get adb to run in a command prompt to flash a rom lol

[Q] Huawei Vision keeps restarting

Hi guys,I am new here
Today I flashed my vision with custom rom (2.3.7+root) from a Russian forum.Everything was OK,then I installed the Beats app and restarted.Now the phone is constantly rebooting.How can I fix it? ?Please help
PS: I try to get in recovery menu,but I cant

do you have backup? if you have
try to get recovery via adb
type ' adb reboot recovery '
and then restore

I dont have backup.I managed to get into recovery and made factory defaults, but nothing.It keeps restarting.I uploaded the rom to my sd card.And I saw "download rom from sd card" in the recovery menu.If I click it,would it flash the rom?
And another thing is that i cant remove the battery and that is why it is so hard to get into recovery
PS How it is possible to get into recovery mode when the phone is constantly restarting and I cant remove the battery?

use adb to get recovery, when the phone boots, quickly type 'adb reboot recovery'

1. Hold the Vol (+) and Power button and hold it until the screen is black. Count to 10 seconds. (Hard reset)
2. Remove a second finger from the Power button and return back to Power button (Quickly release and immediately press it back.) Huawei logo should appear just for a second and then it will turn off. Count to 10 seconds.
3. Remove your fingers and wait for the phone to turn on again, if not then good, if on then do it all over again.
4. Enter recovery mode
5. Flash it back using SUT L3.

[Q] Boot looping

Please treat me as a total noob, my problem is this i installed the stock RUU Vodafone rom on my HTC One and everything went fine until i had a couple of phone updates ota first 2 installed and phone rebooted no problem on the 3rd system update the phone rebooted but this time on a boot loop where it would get as far as the HTC splash screen the continually reboot itself.
I have gone into recovery – hold power and Vol Down to go into recovery but when i do press the power button to go into recovery it just goes back to the boot loop i did have Clockworkmod installed on the phone but this seems to have stopped working.
I have tried to use fastboot and ADB but because my phone is looping it will not say on long enough to connect to the PC and run a command to wipe the cache.
My question mainly is there anything i can do to save my phone or should i just bin it.
Thanks
