[Q] Is there a way to test if I have CWM Recovery installed?

Hey everyone,
I recently ran BRK's TF rooting script, followed all steps to a T, and it worked great. I confirm that Superuse permissions are working!
After that i re ran the tool and ran the install CWM Recovery script again.
Here's the catch.
I installed Rom Manager from the market and my premium license, but when I select " Install ROM from SD Card", i get a warning that says "Flashing an update package on a recovery other than ClockworkMod Recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"
Is CWM Recovery not installed?
Is there a way I can check?
many thanks

unfortunately Rom Manager does not support the Asus Transformer Officially. Power off then while holding the vol down button press the power button for a few seconds and when prompted, release the vol down and press the vol up. It should say CWM.

There are several Market apps which should do the trick for you as well - I can't post links yet but you can go to the Market and search for "transformer reboot recovery".
I use the MoDaCo app and it works great. Revolver ROM also has the "reboot to recovery" feature built into the Revolver Parts app.

Gnufabio has a free app to boot into recovery.
If not just hold volume down plus power button, when you see the lines of wordings appear press volume up within 5 secs.

[Q] TOUCH CLOCKWORK - how to recovery mode

Hi,
I've installed SKY ICS .. THE REAL THING 4.0 following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1589977
Using Odin, I've installed the Clockworkmod Touch 5.8.1.3 using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613
Now, I'd like to go on recoveery mode.... how is it possible ? Previously when holding the start button, there was an 'reboot using recovery mode' option was there but it is no longer there.
Anybody know how to reboot in recovery mode so I could continue and install the updates ?
Thanks,
Punky.

you just need to restart your phone while holding the vol up and down rockers...this will bring you into recovery (i.e CWM)

if u want download mode (aka odin mode), simply restarting and holding down volume and power will do that as well

Thanks.
I've rebooted hodding volume buttons and it worked......
After that, when I hold the on/off button to reboot, the Recovery option is now available.

Cannot get into recovery

I tried to get into CWM recovery to back up my data and flash a new ROM. I shut my transformer off, then held power and vol up and nothing. So I turned my transformer back on and reflashed CWM recovery with ROM manager and told it to flash my new ROM and to perform a nandroid backup. By transformer just reboots instead. Why can I not get into recovery? Is it not power + vol up?
EDIT: I got into recovery with power + voldown, then volup quickly after. It's still messed up how I cannot reach it from ROM Manager though.

Rom manager is bugged for the transformer that is why it does not work. Use Gnufabio's reboot to recovery app

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LOL found your post just coz i wanna get 1 of them
there might be more than one recovery partition i guess so command in bootloader says to flash secure recovery when key combo pressed
does cwm stay if you boot using key combo or you have to flash again ?
i'm guessing
1 boot into cwm
2 do a full backup
3 reboot phone check in file manager backup is on external sd !!! IMPORTANT !!!
4 power off the phone
5 try other key combinations ie :
Code:
VOL- and POWER
VOL+ and VOL- and POWER
VOL+ and HOME and POWER
VOL- and HOME and POWER
HOME and POWER
you get the drift
THIS WILL 99.9% FACTORY RESET YOUR PHONE (UNLESS YOU AVOID HARD RESET COMBO)
GOODLUCK
BTW HOW IS THIS PHONE IN HAND ?>

I have a zlr f9006 and I also flashed CWM. I also can't access it via key combination but CWM Rom Manager application gives you the option to "Reboot into Recovery" which actually works!

solution
How to boot this recovery:
- Power off
- Hold VOL+ and Power (will take longer time than VOL- and Power)
- Menu shows giving you choice between ROM downloader, UART, Recovery and Normal
- Use VOL keys to choose Recovery
- CWM boots

How to boot into recovery of start tablet?

Hi, i have a start 101 tablet with a Cortex-A9 cpu, a WM8850 chipset and a Mali-400 GPU and i do have root, it has android 4.0.3, im not very good in these things but i wanted to install google apps on this tablet, i already found a site that gives some links to some zip files for every android version, but i don't know how to install them. The site that gave those zip said that you need to boot into the recovery of the device and press install from zip, but the problem is that my recovery doesn't have any menu on it.
So 2 days ago i tried finding a way to boot into the recovery, holding the power button and volume up do not take me to the recovery, they take me to a screen which says "do you want to do system recovery? press power button before 10 seconds to confirm" and if i press the power button the tablet factory resets, if i wait 10 seconds the tablet shuts down, i also tried holding the power and volume down buttons but they just took me to normal android.
Now yesterday i found a way to boot into the recovery by using an adb command or by using an app called "Reboot manager ROOT", but the problem is that when i use abd or this app and reboot to the recovery, an android robot with a red triangle appears without any menu on it, and searching this on the internet i was told to basically press power and volume up / down untill a menu appears but i can't get this menu to show up, and since there is no menu if i hold the power button to reboot im stuck into this boot to recovery loop unless i factory reset which works and takes me back to normal android, so then i was thinking that maybe the recovery in this tablet does not exist but is that possible? im not very experienced with this but i also found out about custom recovery yesterday, so after like 5 hours on the internet i found a cwm recovery for my chipset and i saw a video on youtube that said that if you had a twrp/cwm recovery for the same chipset of your android device you can make a custom recovery for your device, the video i followed is this:
so i made this custom recovery img file now but how can i flash it? or can i just use the recovery that is already into my tablet to install the google apps?
because i searched the internet a bit and it seems that for flashing a recovery you need to go to the bootloader but i can't access this thing for some reason, power + volume down takes me to normal android so then i tried adb reboot bootloader but it also takes me to normal android, then i also tried the same app i used to reboot into recovery (reboot manager root) but pressing the reboot to bootloader buttons also does not work (it asks for root permission, i press allow and then it reboots to normal android) same with the reboot to download mode button, then as a last attemp i downloaded an app called "flashify" which basically allows to flash recovery, zip and etc, so i first tried to flash the recovery but pressing the button choose file made the app freeze, so then i tried the flash zip option to maybe flash google apps without recovey, but after choosing the zip it gets stuck at downloading 92% and the app freezes and it doesn't seem to have installed the google apps, do you know if there is any way to boot into this bootloader to flash this cwm recovery or maybe any way i can get the normal recovery to work?
thanks for the help!
