Won't boot into recovery mode

Ok, so basically my nexus won't boot into Recovery mode, and I don't know what's wrong.. it just freeze on Google's logo and thats it.. I have to do a battery pull for it too start normally. I also backup my phone rom on 20/02/11 and updated Rom Manager 22/02/11 I really don't know if this is relevant but just saying.
The phone Is rooted and boot loader is unlocked, I did the bootloader unlock with Amin Sabet guide so i'm on a mac, then I use the superboot root method from paulobrien, then installed Rom Manager from the market and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
if someone could help please...

youll have to reflash clockwork recovery. its a fairly common issue.

reflashing it from Rom manager interface or from terminal?

on my old xperia x10 i was use x10 flasher and install a stock rom without any problem is there any thing like that in htc desire HD

Pull the battery out, leave it out for a few seconds. Pop it back in, hold Volume Down while pressing Power button and it'll boot to bootloader, from there, you can boot to recovery.
And you're right, this isn't the right section

thanks for the replay
i tried what did you say
and i have the bootloader screen but when i click to recovery it go back to the same screen htc first screen and stick on it

Sounds like your recovery somehow got corrupted. If you have ENG S-OFF (Radio S-OFF is not enough), you can flash recovery via fastboot.
Here's a link to ClockWorkMod recovery, where you can download a nice little pack with recovery and an executable .bat file that will do the manual work for you, for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723

[Q] Cant have recovery and boot into a rom.

i can only boot a rom when i choose the recovery option from the bootloader. its the newest possible bootloader.1.14.005 i think.if i want to install a rom i have to go to the bootloader, then install open recovery with fastboot then reboot the bootloader , then reboot to the newly installed recovery wipe everything , install the rom, power off.boot into bootloader load the kernel with fastboot, then restart the bootloader an then if i want to boot in to the rom its just stays on the logo with the red warning, so i taught its a brick but then went to bootloder and chose recovery - this way is boooting the rom.
Please could someone explain it to me - is that the way to do it for now???
Tried to install open recovery from goo manager its says installed but its not, still boots the rom instead.

It sounds like you're flashing the boot image into your recovery partition instead of into your boot partition.

You are the man .Thanks ))

[Q] Inspire 4G Need help flashing rom with S-ON

Hello, I've recently completed the Bootloader unlocking method with Easy Ace Root Tool. Bootloader is unlocked and SHIP S-ON, I need to flash a rom. These roms require S-OFF and have no method to flash them with only an unlocked bootloader and S-ON.
So let me get this straight, us 'low level' and unexperienced users are left without any method to gain S-OFF privileges without following the vague guide provided at tau(dot)shadowchild(dot)nl/attn1/?p=411 Yeah... I can't.
Trying to find alternate methods I have only gone in circles and keep running into old how-to guides. The more I read the more confused I become. I hope someone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ninjewbag

You don't need S-Off. Flash a ROM in recovery, then flash the ROM zip's boot.img in fastboot.

Good deal, thanks for the reply!
I put the ROM Android Revolution HD 9.0 on the root of my SD card, booted in recovery mode and chose the recovery option, I got the red exclamation mark icon so I pressed VOL up + power button which didn't work so I pulled the battery. I tried all above steps again but this time I was able to successfully get into "Android system recovery <3e> with VOL up + power button. With 4 options:
Reboot system now
Apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I chose the option to wipe all data, said it could not find Efolder name)'s and "data wipe completed successfully".
Then I wiped cache, then chose the option to apply update from sdcard, it said "Invalid operation" then "success rebooting by reason 00" and proceeded to reboot by itself.
Phone factory reset, I rebooted into recovery again with the same red exclamation mark error. Pressed Vol up + power and back into "Android system recovery". At the bottom in yellow text it says "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command". I tried another "update from SD card" and recieved error: "success rebooting by reason 00" and reboots.
I don't have a nandroid backup as I read I needed Root to make one, but the phone still works fine as far as I can tell. I don't have a working simcard in it though.
Also from what I've read my eMMC chip may be fried so it looks like I'm retiring early. I'll keep an eye on this thread among others with the same problems.
Cheers,
Ninjewbag

Volume + and power brings you to the factory recovery; you need to use vol - have you flashed a different recovery? If not, flash 4ext recovery through fast boot and try again

Thank you for the info! No luck finding the 4ext .IMG file anywhere yet, they're all dead links. I have the 4ext recovery.APK but that doesn't do me any good since I don't have root. Still looking and thanks again.

You can install the app and then open the app and use it to manually download the recovery zip which you can flash or copy it to your pc and extract the recovery.img file and flash with fastboot. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself wiht the adb and fastboot utils as they come in handy.

Thanks for the reply but as for installing the 4ext free updater version, it wasn't on the market so I used android injector to place and install that APK. None of the options worked as they all give the same error "it seems your phone is not rooted, this option will not function" etc.

Nice! Wasn't expecting to find the 4ext recovery within the adbfastboot.zip. With that I was able to move on, create a nandroid and successfully install a custom rom, thanks! Was a little scared after rebooting, it took around 5 minutes to load past the "quietly brilliant" screen but is working fine now nonetheless.

Whats your HBOOT version? Which recovery version do you use? Are you using a stock rom? Have you tried flashing a custom recovery via fastboot instead of "on the fly" ?
