That's the stock recovery, not CWM.
You have to boot into bootloader mode then flash CWM recovery image from there. After flashing, select recovvery in the bootloader menu and you'll be in CWM.

Sounds like you did not remove /etc/install-recovery.sh if you've already flashed CWM and rooted.
This script is going to install the stock recovery image on each reboot. Boot up - remove / rename this file through root explorer or something similar (or adb if you like) and then reflash CWM either via fastboot or Rom Manager.

[Q] Clockwork issues

Okay so I rooted unlocked and flashed clockwork with the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970237
But when I try to boot recovery from bootloader the screen goes black then just pops back up to the boot loader and wont let me access recovery if I check in rom manager it says I have clockwork but why cant I access it.
Did you do this step in the process.
4) Tap and hold on the file "install-recovery.sh" and rename this file to "install-recovery.sh.old".
This is needed if still on stock rom.
If not you have to flash recovery in rom manager everytime you reboot

Flash recovery again, root if you haven't done yet, boot into Android, delete or rename install-recovery.sh in system/etc (need root and a file explorer that can read/write, eg Super Manager), flash recovery again.
(all recovery flashing is done in fastboot)
it is because of the nexus s gingerbread auto reflash to stock recovery .
put brainmaster's flashable zip cwm in your sd , then you no need to keep flash the recovery d

[Q] Cant have recovery and boot into a rom.

i can only boot a rom when i choose the recovery option from the bootloader. its the newest possible bootloader.1.14.005 i think.if i want to install a rom i have to go to the bootloader, then install open recovery with fastboot then reboot the bootloader , then reboot to the newly installed recovery wipe everything , install the rom, power off.boot into bootloader load the kernel with fastboot, then restart the bootloader an then if i want to boot in to the rom its just stays on the logo with the red warning, so i taught its a brick but then went to bootloder and chose recovery - this way is boooting the rom.
Please could someone explain it to me - is that the way to do it for now???
Tried to install open recovery from goo manager its says installed but its not, still boots the rom instead.
It sounds like you're flashing the boot image into your recovery partition instead of into your boot partition.
You are the man .Thanks ))

[Q] HELP! Can't flash ANY recovery or rom! xt1032

Hi, first, thanks for reading. Second, i've already searched de whole google world, and inside all this threads, but....
I CAN'T FLASH ANY RECOVERY! I don't know why!
In fastboot, i put the commands for flashing CWM, TWRP, Philz, and it works with no error. But, when i select the recovery option in my xt1032, it always boot the CUSTOM recovery. What can i do?
And sorry about my english, i´m from argentina.
Thank You!!
Hi. I don't get it. TWRP or CWM or Philz is custom recovery, so if you flash them to your device, of course the stock recovery will be replaced by custom recovery, so when you select Recovery option in Bootloader screen, of course it will bring you to a custom recovery. Yesterday I flashed all kinds of recovery in order to flash ROM (flashable zip file) into my phone but it failed all the time, so I decided to install stock firmware by using mfastboot (and removed custom recovery also).

So, i'm getting it wrong.... Please tell me: if i flash a custom recovery, like twrp, how can y acces to it? I though it was from fastboot>recovery
Actualy, I can't flash ANYTHING! It's so frustrating. I've tryied to flash the bootlogo, but it doesn't work either!

If you want to flash a custom recovery, you need to have:
- Minimal ABD & Fastboot. Extract it into a folder.
- The recovery's .img file from its website. Its name may be very long, so you should rename it into something shorter, for example "newrecovery.img". Put this file into the same folder that you've just extracted Minimal ADB & Fastboot.
- Boot your phone into Bootloader screen (by first keep holding your Volume Down then press Power button for a short while). Connect the phone to your computer. In your computer, open the folder that contains Minimal ADB & Fastboot and the .img file of the custom recovery aforementioned. Now hold Shift key on your computer's keyboard and right click your mouse on the blank space of the folder. Choose "Open command prompt here''. When you see a black window, type:
fastboot flash recovery newrecovery.img
then Enter. The custom recovery will be installed right away. After that, choose Recovery on your Bootloader screen and the custom recovery will open. Yesterday I read on a website that some ROMs overwrote your custom recovery when your phone rebooted so that might be the reason why you cannot use the custom recovery you've just installed. I don't know how to solve this as I'm just a noob.
However, why do you need to install custom recovery? Does your phone still work properly? What kind of ROM are you using? If your phone doesn't work since the ROM has been messed up, I suggest you do a fresh install as this thread tutors: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219. After restoring your phone to a good state, you may try installing custom recovery again.

I almost bricked my phone because of that stupid userdata.img inside the Twrp recovery
For 2 days I've been trying to install a rom with the twrp recovery, which always worked nice although a bit slow, but since the installed rom always had issues, this time I put not only the twrp recovery in flashboot, but also the userdata.img, which by the way there's no reference about it in any doc of the zip
As a result my phone didn't pass forward the coloured Leeco splash screen in chinese, (the one that cames before the twrp spashscreen).
I shut it down and put it on charge, but it didn't even seem to be charging! the red led was always on and the battery had no progress bar, just a 'sparkle' symbol. If that thing isn't even charging, how the hell would I enter fastboot?
Thankfully I got back the normal recovery and bootloader.
So, anyone reading, DO NOT flash userdata.img in fastboot!
