Hello
I just installed ROM maneger on my HTC hero. And i was able to flash the recovery. And the first time i was able to boot it into recovery also. But the problem is, that every time after the first boot, i only get that warning triangle. But if i flash the image again, i can go to recovery just once.
I hope you get what i mean. Is this normal? Should i only have to flash the recovery onca and i'm good to go to recovery mode for life? Or is it normal that i have to flash it every time i want to enter the recovery mode?
Thanks in advance
No it shouldn't be necessary, when you flash CWM through Rom Manager it downloads a file called update.zip(fake flash) to your SD card. As long as you have this file in SD card root you should be able to enter recovery. Have you tried pressing volume up + power at the triangle?

I've tried volume up + power now, but it only takes me to the stock android recovery. And on the bottom there is a message:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Any ideas?
It's normal behaviour. As long as you are on a stock ROM the stock Recovery will reassert itself on every reboot. There are a couple of files that can be deleted that will stop this from happening, but i can't name them from memory.

I am running CM6 and I downloaded ROM Manager from the APPS store. I wanted to a quick way to back up my current ROM. Usually I would power down press home and power at the same time and it would open ClockworkMod Recovery. There I could flash a ROM, perform a Nandroid back up, toggle USB, partition etc... I liked that feature, but I thought ROM Manager would be more convenient since I am suppose to be able to boot in recovery mode from the program.
When I installed ROM Manager and ran it for the first time it installed another program and now I can no longer access the ClockwordMod Recovery by pressing home/power. Even when I chose boot in recover from ROM Manager it just stays stuck on the T-Mobile screen. I have to take the battery out to get it to power off. At first I thought it was just slow, now I realize it's just stuck. If I power down and press camera/power now I get FASTBOOT options. I don't know how to use FASTBOOT. I want ClockworkMod Recovery to work again.
I don't know how to reverse this action. Does anyone know how to do this or how I can still access the ClockworkMod Recovery even with FASTBOOT on my system?
Download a recovery image for your phone.
Command to use is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Of course, substitute recovery.img with whatever one you want.

ok i am rooted but cannot seem to flash a custom rom. everytime i try to do it it takes me back to the clockwork mod recovery screen instead of the other regular one. i removed rom manager and clockwork off of my sd card but it still doesnt let me do it. i tried manually and using rom manager to flash a custom rom it wipes and restores but when it gets ready to load the rom it stops and takes me back to the recovery screen wtf.....please help me man im ready to throw this ****ing phone....arrrrrghh
You need to have "A" custom recovery installed. Currently there are only two that I am aware of; Clockwork's or Amon's.
You can flash a new recovery via adb but if you are unsure how to do that I would first try to see if you can do it through ROM Manager. ROM Manager is Clockwork's app but if you open it up and scroll to the bottom you will see an option to "Install Alternate Recovery." Selecting this will bring up the option to flash Amon's recovery.
If this is successful, make sure you have the "New.ROM.You.Want.To.Flash.zip" on the root of the sdcard and power down the phone.
Once off, hold the volume down button and then press and release the power button (still holding down the volume down button).
The phone should boot into a white screen with a few lines of text. At this point you can stop pressing the volume down button.
Using the volume up/down buttons to navigate the 4 options and the power button to select, select #2 recovery.
The phone will then boot into Amon's recovery which should be a black screen with green text.
Still using the volume up/down keys to navigate and the power button to select, first go to wipe and do a wipe of "erase data-restore," cache, and dalvik cache.
Once this is complete you can select "Return" to go back to the previous menu and select Flash Zip from SdCard.
Select the ROM.zip you want to flash and when finished reboot the phone.
Marvel at your new ROM
its greyed out. do i have to download amon recovery first?
Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
ok i did this and it told me that it wasnt found and then when i typed in the reboot part it said not permitted.
You obviously did not use ok's instructions above, so what instructions or programs are you trying to use? Clockworks recovery always loads a zip file from the sd card as stated above. Also with this method you do not use a computer at all, maybe to get the zip file to the sd card.

Is Amon the factory? I just want to get my phone back to the factory setting. I tried to unroot my captivate using a one-click app, but it didn't remove the superuser privileges. Do I need to remove this clockworkmod first? If so where can I get this AMON file?
Sorry, I know I probably sound like a moron, but I am new to this Android crap.

no Amon is a custom recovery. try downloading the stock RUU from your service provider and using that. i am not sure if that will re-flash the recovery back to stock, but that is the only thing that i can think of to tell you to try.
Is clockwork recovery necessary for all roms or can i download a recovery to my phone?
Well if you could make a recovery based off of something else that had ext. 4 support then you could probably use that. Just the fact that there is already CWM for the MT already makes it easier. If you meant does it need to be installed then yes, you need it installed to flash different roms.
Can CWM be flashed through Rom Mgr? I tried bootloader and mobile and image and recovery img and i think i put in wrong folder. Everytime i try to get back into bootloader with pwr button and vol dwn. It goes right to M screen. How can i fix this?
Ok i get to download mode now where do i put the extracted recovery folder in image? Do i place with recovery img or down at the bottom?. When i take battery out and put back. I pwr and simitaneously vol buttons. I get the triangle !. What am i doing wrong. Oh and im on ver 2.2.2
It's real easy all you need to do is Volume down then power sometimes it's a pain in the ass but keep repeating the steps until you see white writing on the screen, then plug it into your PC, it should bring up a drive called mobile there will be a folder open the folder & replace only the recovery image then reboot. Should be all good. Then press volume up & down & power should boot into clockwork.
Did u install CM7 first?
You can't install CM7 or any other rom "first" using stock recovery. As far as I have seen CWM is the only alternative to the stock recovery.
Hi, would like to go back to stock and am having problems getting into fast boot. I installed the original image file on my sd card it goes into fast boot and apears to begin to flash the recover after a couple of second it has the android laying down with the exclamation point. Anybody have any ideas? I am currently rooted and boot unlocked.
Are you running a recovery or flashing the recovery image ?? If you are running the recovery, make sure you have the power lead in !

No, I am trying to install the original recovery thru the SD card. I hold down the power + vol up button to get the recovery file to update the original recovery but get the android with a exclamation point. It wont install the recover zip. I have renamed it to recovery.zip, but still not working?
Hello XDA!
See, my friend bricked his LG P500 while installing a font from ROM Toolbox. He asked me to unbrick his phone.
And I tried to and then this happened:
-I plugged my phone with my PC
-I pressed and hold (Power button+Volume DOWN+Home button)
-Then I got a picture with a Android robot and a yellow triangle sign.
-Then I accidentaly pressed Home button, then there I was in Android System Recover <3e> or something like that.
-It gives me a menu what has
- Reboot system now
- Apply update from sdcard
- Factory reset/wipe data
- Wipe cache partition
-I tried to do "Factory reset/wipe data" but then it threw me back to the robot and the triangle.
I want to do a factory reset and unbrick this phone, it did not have CWM, Amon Ra or xRecovery.
Can I still use the Android System Recovery? But everytime I press Home button, it throws me back to the picture. Other buttons don't work, when I am in the Android System Recovery.
Any help guys?

1. Download recovery of you choice from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23094755&postcount=1
2. Put it within the root of your sdcard and rename it to update.zip.
3. Reboot to recovery and select - Apply update from sdcard and choose update.zip
4. Then reboot again to recovery, and a custom recovery should be installed.
5. now you can flash any custom rom from recovery.
