ok i am rooted but cannot seem to flash a custom rom. everytime i try to do it it takes me back to the clockwork mod recovery screen instead of the other regular one. i removed rom manager and clockwork off of my sd card but it still doesnt let me do it. i tried manually and using rom manager to flash a custom rom it wipes and restores but when it gets ready to load the rom it stops and takes me back to the recovery screen wtf.....please help me man im ready to throw this ****ing phone....arrrrrghh
You need to have "A" custom recovery installed. Currently there are only two that I am aware of; Clockwork's or Amon's.
You can flash a new recovery via adb but if you are unsure how to do that I would first try to see if you can do it through ROM Manager. ROM Manager is Clockwork's app but if you open it up and scroll to the bottom you will see an option to "Install Alternate Recovery." Selecting this will bring up the option to flash Amon's recovery.
If this is successful, make sure you have the "New.ROM.You.Want.To.Flash.zip" on the root of the sdcard and power down the phone.
Once off, hold the volume down button and then press and release the power button (still holding down the volume down button).
The phone should boot into a white screen with a few lines of text. At this point you can stop pressing the volume down button.
Using the volume up/down buttons to navigate the 4 options and the power button to select, select #2 recovery.
The phone will then boot into Amon's recovery which should be a black screen with green text.
Still using the volume up/down keys to navigate and the power button to select, first go to wipe and do a wipe of "erase data-restore," cache, and dalvik cache.
Once this is complete you can select "Return" to go back to the previous menu and select Flash Zip from SdCard.
Select the ROM.zip you want to flash and when finished reboot the phone.
Marvel at your new ROM
its greyed out. do i have to download amon recovery first?
Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
ok i did this and it told me that it wasnt found and then when i typed in the reboot part it said not permitted.
You obviously did not use ok's instructions above, so what instructions or programs are you trying to use? Clockworks recovery always loads a zip file from the sd card as stated above. Also with this method you do not use a computer at all, maybe to get the zip file to the sd card.

Is Amon the factory? I just want to get my phone back to the factory setting. I tried to unroot my captivate using a one-click app, but it didn't remove the superuser privileges. Do I need to remove this clockworkmod first? If so where can I get this AMON file?
Sorry, I know I probably sound like a moron, but I am new to this Android crap.

no Amon is a custom recovery. try downloading the stock RUU from your service provider and using that. i am not sure if that will re-flash the recovery back to stock, but that is the only thing that i can think of to tell you to try.

Revolutionary comes with an recovery system
Take a look at this guide there should all be in there.
A complete tutorial for beginners & others
Or
use this, it's an outdated clockworkmod recovery.
Download -> rename to PG88IMG.zip -> put to root of sd -> shutdown the device -> (fastboot must be off) press & hold volume -, then press power till it boots -> go to bootloader -> follow instructions -> remove the PG88IMG.zip from sd -> shutdown the device -> press & hold volume -, then press power till it boots -> go to bootloader -> choose recovery -> done
or
shutdown the device -> (fastboot must be off) press & hold volume -, then press power till it boots -> go to bootloader -> choose recovery -> done
to use revolutionary recovery
thanks !
But when i do this, at the boot i have this message :
PG88IMG no image
image parsing
and when i go to recovery i have a warning sign and that's it
Let's try the other way, download the apk at this thread and follow the instructions inside the thread.
After this you should be rooted, then download rom manager from market and let it install the recovery for you
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?

I want to root my XT925 on JB 4.1.2 (fido). So, I follow 0mega1's method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118483
1. unlocked bootloader;
2. flashed epinter's CWM recovery
3. install supersu.
I have tried for 3 weeks, but failed.
the supersu is not installed, showing " no su binary, supersu cannot install it"
Would someone please help. tell me the process step by step. I am new for Android.
Question: after flashing epinter's CWM recovery, the phone in still in AP fastboot state, what shall I do? Just simply press the power button to go to the normal phone state?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Yes, press the power button to turn off the device; But Are you sure you have CWM recovery installed??
if yes, did you get the file in the link? It´s not install superSU from market, you must install via CWM the file in the link; I attached the file to simplify you the thing.
Save it to the root of your SD, turn off your phone, press both volume keys and power at the same time 2sec to be sure and drop the power button first and after the 2 volume keys; use - Volume to move to RECOVERY and pres + Volume to select.
I u have CWM Recovery it should appear, use it to install the file attached and you are rooted.

Hey guys. I can't seem to get into Recovery on my XT925 for the life of me.
From power off, I press Power + Vol Up to get the boot selection screen, select "recovery" from the list, and the phone reboots into the OS.
I've flashed both CWM and TWRP recoveries. Different versions of each too. But every time I hit "Recovery" it loads the OS and I can't flash any ROMS.
Another weird thing. When I'm in Fastboot and enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" it just reboots into Fastboot again.
Can anyone help?
i dont know what the problem is but you could try downloading rom manager, it has an option to reboot into recovery, and see what happens.

I'm having the same problem. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted my 4.1.2 stock rom, installed ROM Manager, flashed the recovery, and when it goes into Recovery, I get an Android with it's belly open, and a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside it. It stays there 1 minute, and it boots. I've tried everything. Any help is appreciated.

That screen is your stock recovery. Hold vol+ and tap pwr at the same time and you'll boot into recovery. Also, after you install the recovery, you need to immediately boot into it so the update binary can complete. Otherwise, your stock recovery will over ride. Honestly, it's just easier to flash a recovery in fastboot. That's the option I've used every time.

I flashed the recovery, booted into Recovery from ROM Manager, but I get the same screen, and no key combination is able to get me into recovery.
I'm actually trying to install CyanogenMod. I downloaded cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip. To flash it through fastboot, every example uses an IMG file, not the zip file. To flash it through fastboot, should I unzip cm-10.1.3-xt925.zip and flash the boot.img inside it? Or just rename .zip from .img?
Tks

Sweet! Good to see you got it to work. I'm not sure why, but ROM manager doesn't always seem to work.
I'm not able to enter in recovery mode using key combination pwr + vol key up and down (pressed simultaneously).
I'm only able to do this using CMW manager (Reboot into recovery). I've flash (using fastboot) recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt925.img, but it not accessible using key combination and relative menu (If the menu choose to boot into recovery mode, it start full boot and go into OS).
I've flashed CM10, but for access to recovery i've used CMW manager. I want to have the opportunity to enter directly into recovery in case of bad flash.
Where I'm wrong?
Thanks a lot

So you get the : normal pwr, rec, & etc list but when you scroll vol down & then vol up to select the recovery it boot normal?
I use : all keys hold till screen out. Then while keeping on both vol toggle pwr off , on & off. Boot menu list.
If that fails, post your sequence of events.

OK. So. This is the sequence:
1. Power key + Vol UP and DOWN pressed at the same time i'm able to show menu with "Recovery" option into list (others are AP Fastboot, Normal PWR, ecc)
2. Using Vol UP/DOWN key i go to Recovery option end press Power key
..phone start normally...not into recovery. I'm able to start recovery only using CWM manger or ADB.
My current recovery is ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.4.4
Thanks

You are not reading!
Final action vol up to select!
Tougher than stock recovery! I guess the bootloader engineers never used their own recovery.
