Please help this newbie out!... I recently rooted my Inspire 4G with attn1's hack kit. That went smooth without issue and I have tried a variety of custom ROMs thanks to this great community, but I have noticed a random issue with booting into ClockworkMod Recovery since... I installed Rom Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.6 and the problem is that sometimes I can boot into recovery and sometimes not. It only seems to work is the first time I reboot immediately after flashing ClockworkMod, then subsequent reboots the phone just boots normally. (I hold volumn down and press power.) I have also tried installing Amon's Recovery (supersonic 2.3) manually using Fastboot - it seems to install without error but when I try holding the down volume button and hitting power - phone just boots normally. So it seems I am stuck with a ClockworkMod install that does not really work with reliability.... I am lost now trying to figure out why this is happening.
Can someone that has seen similar issues provide some tips/suggestions?
TIA

I had the same problem... quit using version 3.0.0.6 and go back to the earliest version, 2.5.1.3 through All ClockworkMod Recoveries. Worked for me.

You don't have 'fast boot' enabled in settings/application? If so it will not really shut off completely and when you power it up with VOL- it will not work.
i'm also having issues getting cwm to work outside the black screen. i have tried sense/ no sense roms and none have been able to bring up cwm outside the blank screen. i am also running 3.0.0.6 or whatever it is but that has not helped my issue

did you use the Simple Root method to root your phone?
can you confirm if you have s-off and root?

Sounds like fastboot is enabled. If you turn it off you will be able to boot into recovery.
i used the simple one click. yes i have root and s-off. but i'm stuck now. can not see cwm by manually booting into hboot. or through the app and clicking boot into recovery
[Q] Clockworkmod recovery not booting up
I have my phone rooted and ready to flash a custom ROM. I want to install android revolution 4g 4.0. I read that I need to ahve CWM version 3.0.0.6 to flash a 2.3 ROM. Anyways, when i select reboot into recovery in ROM Manager, my phone reboots and shows the HTC logo but then it fades to black screen and does nothing. If i press the power button, the phone reboots normally into the OS. Does anyone know how to fix this so i can install a custom ROM?
I have this exact same issue. Although i can load roms from choosing "Install from sd card" i cannot just boot into recovery and install it from there.
I just recently bought my inspire 4g a week ago.
Mine is 2 days old. Now i cant get it to boot up because it keeps trying to boot into CWM recovery but it cant. Its and endless loop.
Mine wont even load recovery. It reboots the phone but then just fades to a black screen. I cant get back into the OS

just press power button and it will reboot your phone.
still stuck doing that too. can get the phone to reboot. but stuck at htc screen or black cwm screen. also checked sd card and is corrupted. i was thinking if i could just flash a new rom over to fix boot issue. but i need some screens to blindly walk through to flash. cwm is 3.0.0.5 if that matters. thanks. on a side note. i think i have a new cm7rc2 build on a formated sd card to try and minimize the guess work on what to click

pull your battery and just turn you phone on without going into Fastboot menu.
downloading now. will give update in a few min
also does it matter that my phone will not go past the white htc screen?

Are you saying that your phone shows the white HTC screen then fades to black?
if so, no, it doesn't matter...just press the power button to reboot your phone.
Hey all,
Noob here. I'm pretty sure my topic has been asked before but unfortunately, I am lacking in certain terms and I think I'm looking for answers in the wrong place for the past 2 hours.
Anyhow, I have rooted my HTC Evo 3D using step by step instructions laid out by htcevohacks.com. After the rooting, I have flashed the rom Synergy_RLS1-Shooter using CWM. I have since come across a ROM that I'd like to use in replacement but I cannot figure out how to boot back into CWM Recovery. I have tried to launch CWM Recovery from fastboot but when i try to boot up the CWM image, it just waits and waits no thing happens. I've also tried to boot from ROM manager and I have also tried TWRP but the damn phone refuses to boot up in CWM for me to flash the new ROM, Olympus Trinity XE.
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?? I think it has something to do with S-OFF/S-ON but I am an unfortunate noob that does not know the difference and it's killing me....
You can go into the ROM manager app and there is an option to reboot in recovery. Or, since you have an HTC, power the phone down, hold Volume down and power button. This will take you to the Hboot screen where you can select "recovery". Please note that when making selections in Hboot, you use the power button to make your selections.
Edit: Just saw that you tried to boot in from ROM manager. So you will have to go through the Hboot screen.

Hey thanks for the feedback. I have tried using Hboot. I tried using "recovery" as you suggested but all it does is restart the phone. The HTC splash screen pops up, then it blacks out only for it to POP up again, then it loads my ROM splash screen. Also thru Hboot, I tried to connect to a pc and flash cwm and other recover img's but they didnt work either...
Updated to a new ROM on the HTC Sensation and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. Using the power + volume down won't boot me into recovery, it just goes to the boot screen. Is there any other way to boot into recovery?

Flash the boot.img for your rom through fastboot
HELP!
I have a rooted, unlocked S-ON HTC One S.
I flashed the boot.img from the 4.3 PACRom zip using fastboot since my phone is S-ON and I wanted to flash the ROM, however after pressing reboot my phone and hard resetting my phone would turn on, go the HTC splash of 'for developmental purposes only' and then the screen would just go black. I have CWM Recovery v6.
Pressing buttons would make the phone vibrate twice, however nothing happens. Furthermore the computer recognises when I plug in the USB, however both adb and fastboot devices comes up blank. How can I fix this? Or at least get into Recovery??
EDIT: Problem has been fixed! I was timing the 'volume down' presses incorrectly, I'm in recovery now.
