Has anyone discovered a way to enter recovery without using ROM Manager? Like on other phones, we can hold down the volume and power buttons and it'll do it, but that only resets the G2x. Other options? All Google Apps were erased from stock when my phone crashed, so I have no way to restore the stock I have saved on my SD card.
Did you use NVFlash to flash CWM? If so, then you can indeed boot into recovery by holding the volume down and power buttons simultaneously. Just hold them for about 10 to 15 seconds and it should boot into recovery and not factory reset your phone.

Booting into ClockworkMod Recovery
Power off your phone.
Hold Vol Down + Power.
Keep holding them, as soon as you see "ANDROID" in Green with the new boot logo let go of the buttons.

Yeah, I found it out the hard way, but it worked eventually! I wish I would have tried that the first time this happened to me. Thanks

Can someone tell me how to get into the stock recovery?
Power up in to H-boot (power + volume down) and choose recovery from there. It could be power + volume up, can't remember 100%
Why do you need stock recovery? nothing interesting there as far as I could tell....

Press volume up + power together in recovery to see options.

Do you meen press volume up and power when your in the bootloader? I could not get into stock recovery from bootloader.
No. When you're in bootloader, scroll down to recovery using volume keys and select it using power button. Phone will reboot into recovery. Then, while you are seeing pic of a phone with exclamation point, press volume up and power button simultaneously to show text.

That is the stock recovery. Hold power and press vol up (I think, been a while since I've used it) to get the menu.
You should flash a recovery first, man.....if I understand the problem correctly
I upgraded my ROM from 1.3x to 2.1x using goldcard. After i ran the RUU, it said that the phone update went successful and now the phone just keeps turning on and off without even letting me go to hboot. Please help??
if u have nandroid back up just try to restore, if u dont re flash your rom just make sure that you wipe sytem, wipe cache and try to restore factory settings on the recovery menu just to make sure.
how can i wipe the cache and files, my phone does not even start up the hboot, pc could not even detect my phone. please help.
access recovery menu by pressing volume up + home button + power on at the same time hold it until your phone boots up, then release power button when the phone power up but keep pressing volume up + home button until it reaches recovery menu if it still doesn't work tell me we still have ways for that.

Just confused, pressing "home button" included? also afaik its volume down+Power button.
Also, is recovery menu available even if you havent install CWM? i know its needs debugging to install CWM.

sorry "tol" kinda sleepy when i posted this, your right its volume down+Power, if the phone is already rooted there is a recovery menu already but not CWM, but you can install CWM using ODIN just find a CWM tar.md5 file so you can install this using odin.
its not working. i cannot get to recovery by pressing volume key + power key. any other way to do that?
Maybe your phone already bricked. Jtag will help you to resurrect your phone.
Hi i just flashed my transformer to this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658
and now i can't go into recovery help please
Vol down plus power button and when you see words at top left corner you must push Vol up within 5 second.
Alternative is use the "Transformer boot into recovery" app from market.
Btw what is it doing when you try to get into recovery?
Are you trying to get into recovery by an app, or using the buttons as baseballfanz described?
If you cannot get into recovery using the buttons you may have to reinstall the "RecoveryInstaller.apk" for CWM to get it working again.
I can boot into Clockwork Recovery using the app but actually what is the exact button combinations to boot in to Clockwork Recovery?
Thanks.

Turn off. Hold VOL DOWN and POWER for about 10-12 seconds until small text appears. Tap the VOL UP within 5 seconds of when it says to press VOL UP to enter RCK.
i made a mistake while flashing a rom, then i tried to boot into recovery again but i cant, i even used odin to flash the recovery again. still no luck. anyone has any suggestion?
Do you even know how to boot into cwm?

try this
try to force the download mode by :
1) remove the battery
2) hold down the volume down button
3) plug usb
4) put battery back
5) wait till you see the download mode screen
6) use odin to restore your original kernel/modem/firmware
Odin back to stock rom with stock recovery.. Then flash cwm over stock one
Just to make sure you are holding power and both volume buttons and letting go of power after logo screen

flashing a rom doesnt muck up recovery, power down phone, no usb cable plugged in, hold down both volume buttons +-, then hold power button until first logo screen appears, let go of power button while still holding down both volume buttons +- for 1 or 2 more sec, then release volume keys
Hello, i have GOCLEVER QUANTUM 700, i forgot my pattern code, i need factory reset from boot loader but i can go to bootloader, i try volume up and power on button holding but its not working, please if you can help me
Recovery
To do a hard reset you must enter recovery. not bootloader.
To enter recovery power off your device and turn it on by holding VOL + and POWER in the same time.
If you don't enter recovery try holding both VOL + and VOL - and POWER.
If that doesn't work try VOL - and POWER.
One of the three should get you into recovery.
In recovery you can do a hard reset.

Every android phone/tablet has a recovery partition. You just get to it differently.
Try every possible button combination until you get into recovery.
Once you are in recevory select wipe data partition and you are good to go.
I try every possible way

Can you remember if you enabled ADB debugging in settings? If it is enabled it is very easy to go into recovery and I will tell you.
