I am running crespo cm7 and want to put savaged zen rom on here but I can't get into recovery. I hit vol up and power and goto recovery but it just sits at the google screen. I flash clockwork recovery reboot to recovery and same result.
I have no clue what to do to get to recovery.
re-flash clockwork recovery using rom manager or manually flash it in bootloader mode

Agreed - I had a weird issue with ROM Manager and the latest CM nightlies, where suddenly I couldn't boot into Recovery.
Re-Applying CM via ROM Manager fixed the recovery issue (after a forced update of recovery through the app).

I'm trying to flash the new 4.0.4 rom but I can't seem to get into ClockworkMod Recovery. I tried to in the preboot screen(held power and volumes) and selected Recovery and inside the Rom Manager app to Reboot into Recovery. I tried to click Flash Recovery and did a restore on a old backup(which worked) but with no luck. All i get is the green guy with a red ! in a triangle. Please help!
Phone: Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2
ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4
i had the same problem, i fixed it by
Plugging my phone in the pc
Going to Fastboot screen in my phone
Doing the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and re-install clockworkMOD (whilst the phone is plugged in and on the fastboot recovery menu)
then it worked for me, and make sure the verison you install is the latest clockworkmod version.
Hello everyone,
I recently have been doing some beta testing for ROMS and one of them soft bricked my phone and I could not get access to CWM anymore (I have this issue where from powered down state I can never get directly to CWM) so I went into odin and flash the stock rooted ROM. It said it went well but I just get to the bootanimation and it just loops. I could just flash the recovery via ADB except the stock verizon rooted ROM comes with ADB debugging off by default so that is not an option. Currently I am flashing the ROM again via odin to see if maybe that will fix it.
I have a couple nandroid backups and I was just wodnering if there was a way that I could flash CWM via odin and just boot into it and restore the backups instead of having to flash the whole ROM.
Also is anyone else having problems booting into recovery from power-off?
Thanks,
Ljbaumer
First to get to recovery its
Vol up+home+power
Vol down takes you to downloader mode
And there is a odin version of cwm in the development section

Also im not sure why you want to flash recovery thru odin when it trips the flash counter...just use ez recovery and eliminate that issue.
Try pulling the battery to get out of the boot screen, hold volume up/home/power to get into stock recovery, then wipe data/cache. Then you should be able to boot up the phone and flash recovery via the ez recovery app.

Thanks, I completely forgot that I might need to wipe the data and cache after flashing from ODIN. Anyways, I did that and went into EZ Recovery and flashed CWM 6.0.1.0 and I was able to restore my backup of CM10.
Thanks guys,

Hi,
I'm trying to root and install CWM recovery on samsung i8558 Galaxy Win (China Mobile version).
I have at hand a set of stock firmware, a pre-rooted boot.img, and a cwm recovery image (6.0.3.7) built from cyanogenmod source only with recovery.fstab replaced with the one extracted from stock recovery.
Also I've tried ROM Manager, but it won't boot into recovery after claiming to have installed CWM.
I have successfully rooted the device using the prerooted boot.img.
The problem is that when I flash my custom cwm recovery onto the phone, it won't boot into recovery by normal means (holding home, vol+, power). I can only enter recovery via 'adb reboot recovery'. Unfortunately it leaves me stuck in recovery mode, 'reboot system now' fails, 'adb reboot' fails, the only way out I've found is flashing stock recovery.
I guess my cwm image is not properly configured to suit my device. I have tried the Recovery Builder at builder.clockworkmod.com, but its output is totally out of function - black screen without anything.
Any clues?
Which CWM did you use?
I'm using i8552 with many custom Rom and finally a swipe cwm. Which cwm did you use to flash?
Also if you are on JB 4.2.2 will you send me a snap shot of your settings page, notification bar and About page?
Let's help each other here...
I tried to put Cyanogenmod 12 on my lg volt with twrp. It sent me to teamwin recovery 1st I couldnt get out of that. Then I looked it up online and it said to download a recovery.img file. After I did that it rebooted into cwm recovery mode and i formatted and wiped everything and it still reboots back into cwm recovery. Now im stuck in cwm recovery and when i try to hold vol down and power button it says factory resetting in progress and goes right back to cwm recovery.

It seems to me that you wiped your OS. If that is what you did then you'll have to flash a custom ROM or you can flash your stock firmware via PC, you'll have to root and install custom recovery again after flashing stock firmware.

So, I flashed my samsung a10s with an unofficial twrp posted, and everything went fine.
But when I tried to flash a GSI (I tried lineage, and the AOSP ones), everytime I reboot it brings me to the recovery menu. I cannot boot into download mode or anything, it straight up puts me into TWRP.
I do seem to get a `invalid argument /metadata` sort of error
Any idea how to fix this?

First, flash stock rom.
Then install twrp, do a wipe and a factory reset. Install GSi image but do not reboot to system. Turn of the phone and boot to recovery again. Then do a wipe and reboot to system.
Do not enter to recovery again, idk why but entering recovery breaks the rom.

I tried both the power combinations and the TWRP reboot into recovery, they both did not work.

U can't enter Download mode with the power button. Power off the phone. Hold vol up and vol down then plug it into a pc. Do not release vol buttons until blue download screen appears.
