[Q] How to reboot into CWM on official froyo

I just finished rooting my wifes phone and had Rom Manager installed CWM yet when I reboot into recovery it starts 3e instead. I also downloaded SGS Tools but dont see a way in there to set the recovery to reboot into.

You need to install the modded 3e and then cwm recovery.

As per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213 thanks.

I was able to install the hacked 3e recovery but when I go through Rom Manager and tell it to Flash CWM it says it does (tried it three times) yet when I reboot into recovery it still comes up as the 3e hacked.

I figured it out. The flashing was creating an update.zip that then had to be installed. All set with CWM.

Booting into clockwork mod recovery

I've been looking around the forums and I cannot find anything that can help me. I am using a rooted droid 2 and trying to install a custom rom. I have Rom Manager and the Droid 2 bootstrap, and I have been reading how to install it. My problem is that no matter what I try, my phone just reboots normally, never into Clockwork Mod recovery. I tried reinstalling both apps, and flashing cwm numerous times, but it does the same thing. I have yet to even get into the recovery menu. Its driving me nuts!

You clicked in Bootstrap Recovery first?

I feel like such an idiot. That worked and I now have liberty installed!

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I am having a similar issue. I have a rooted LG Optimus One P500. I tried to install Clockwork Mod Recovery using Rom Manager, it tells me it flashed successfully. When I tried to "Reboot into Recovery" it reboots as if I am turning on the phone for the first time (like a factory reset), with all the setting/data etc gone. It never loaded the Recovery.
Any idea what's going on here and how do I fix this? I don't suppose the bootstrap will work with Optimus One?

[Q] Need some help!!

Im trying to flash the Clockwork Recovery mod to my sidekick but every time I boot in recovery I keep getting the stock recovery screen. First of all I rooted my phone using the latest version of SuperOneclick Root. Once the phone was rooted I installed both root explorer and rom manager.
I downloaded the modified binary recovery file and replaced it in system/bin using Root Explorer. I used Rom manager to flash the CWM and it supposedly intalled it (it says version 4.0.0.2). I tried to reboot on recovery but it doesnt boot the CWM recovery screen. I the tried donwloading the CWM and placing the update.zip file in the root of my SD card. I then rebooted into recovery and selecte reintall packages and i get the following:
E: signature verification failed.. installation aborted?
Im guessing its the binary recovery file that's causing the problem but I've tried replacing the file again and it wont work. Anyway, does anyone have any idea whats going on and how I can successfully install the clockwork recovery mod??

Yes that would say that it isn't using the correct modded recovery binary. use my modded oneclickroot script to push the correct recovery and update, and it should work.

Thank you so much it worked like a charm!! One question, every time I boot in recovery now, it boots in the stock recovery. In order to boot CWM i have to select reinstall packages every time is this normal??

Currently that's normal. I've got the same thing on mine.

Yes that CWM is a fake flash and doesn't actually replace your stock recovery so you would have to reinstall packages everytime, unless you flash bali kernel which has the red CWM that replaces the stock recovery when you boot into recovery mode

EDIT: sniped by ayoteddy.
That is normal, as that script uses the "fake flash" instead of having CWM built into the kernel.
A fake flash technique uses a modded recovery binary that doesn't check for signature verification, allowing us to boot into CWM from a stock looking recovery, even on a stock kernel.
In order to have recovery boot straight to CWM, you need to have it built into the kernel, which currently only exists on the Bali kernel (as there's no need to build it for another kernel).

[Q]Bootmode and Unroot

Hey guys! I have my D2G which is running rooted stock. I have had a problem since rooting where the phone always boots into recovery when it turns on and I have to click reboot system now for it to boot into android. I tried shell commands to reset bootmode 4000 to default but the phone wasn't having it, it said permission denied. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Is the only way to unroot and start over? I might actually prefer that but I can't even find decent instructions on how to do that. Could I just go to reset factory defaults in the phone menu? I don't think that would get rid of the su binary though.... I obviously am a little familiar with SBF as it was my only means of getting here but could someone point me into the right direction in terms of unrooting as well? Thanks a lot!!

Uninstall and reinstall ClockworkMod Recovery.
su has nothing to do with booting into CWM.
(That's if you have CWM installed.)

How would you go about uninstalling and re-installing CWM? I just meant that doing a factory reset in android wouldn't get rid of the binary, not in CWM. It's really odd the way CWM works on this phone because it doesn't seem to occupy the recovery partition like it does on normal phones because the stock recovery still exists if you hold down x+power.

Uninstall Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
Install Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
Start Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap.
Press Bootstrap Recovery.
You're done.

If I just want to remove clockwork completely and return to like new, how would I go about that? I have searched around the forums and haven't found much when searching for "unroot" or return to stock. Otherwise I would not try asking all of this. Thanks!

Since you wiped /system, you have no OS installed. So, either use fastboot to flash a system image, or transfer a ROM over to it and flash it via recovery. No biggie. I do recommend switching to TWRP from ClockworkMod though. Is ClockworkMod even supported anymore?

This guy is on the money. You've wiped it anyway, might as well just flash a fresh factory image and start from scratch, nice and clean.

I advise you to download Nexus root toolkit from Wugfresh. After you installed it (assuming you already have adb drivers), under "Restore/ Upgrade/Downgrade" click on "Soft-Bricked/Bootloop" and then on "Flash Stock + Unroot". The appliciation tells you what to do next.

And I advise against using toolkits. If you rely solely on toolkits, you'll never learn how to fix problems such as this. It's best to familiarize yourself with fastboot, you'll find that it is nowhere near as difficult to use as it seems, and you'll be equipped to get yourself out of pretty much any situation imaginable. Not to mention that toolkits are the culprits for many "Help! I bricked my phone and don't know what to do!" threads.
Here's a great guide on using fastboot- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

You don't need to uninstall CWM first, just use fastboot to flash TWRP with this command-
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img

No need to uninstall just:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-filename.img if recovery is in the same directory as fastboot or
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/your/recovery/recovery-filename.img
if the recovery is under /path/to/your/recovery/
You may drag and drop the file to you terminal or commandline...

There are also apps that allow you to flash a recovery image from within the OS. I prefer that because I keep my bootloader locked and flash the stock recovery for a little extra bit of security when I don't need to flash anything.
