Hello all,
How can I confirm that CWM is installed in my phone? I just ran the CWM installation and I'm not quite sure if it installed succesfully. Thanks for any help!
Go into hboot and select recovery and see if it let's you in.

Just boot into the recovery and see if it loads up CWM.
Download Rom manager, and click reboot into recovery. Then it will reboot to CWM

- Go to Settings>Power, and uncheck "Fast boot". Then power off the phone.
- Once powered off fully, hold the volume down button, and press and release the power button. Keep the vol down button depressed until a white screen comes up with Android mascots along the bottom. This is hboot.
- From there, use the volume rocker to navigate up and down, and power to select. Select "Recovery".
If a black screen with blue text menus appears, you have CWM.
If you don't have CMW, a black screen with a symbol with a green circle will appear, and after a few seconds be replaced with a red exclamation mark.
thanks guys! got it!

When I load the bootloader with power and volume up and select recover it gives me the triangle picture with an exclamation mark in the middle. I am unlocked and rooted. I installed clockwork and can get to it from rom manager but not through recovery option. Help please!

i think this is covered in the FAQ, and it's definitely discussed in several threads already.
The triangle is the stock recovery. If you've updated to 2.3.1, the stock recovery is restored by a startup script every time you boot the phone. You can disable this by renaming the file /etc/install-recovery.sh. Then install clockwork again.
If you want to stay on stock recovery, to get into recovery, you do the vol up and power button, then from fastboot select recovery. Watch the screen closely when the phone reboots...for a second or two you'll see a box pouring an arrow onto an android. During that screen push power first (hold it) then push volume up. Timing is important.
I'm rooted, s-off and running AndroidRevolution HD, but for some reason my phone will not boot into CWM. Any suggestions? I'm coming from a Captivate and I noticed that there is no update.zip file on my sd card.
Did you turn fastboot off?

From the main screen menu - settings - applications - fastboot

or if fastboot is on, tell your phone to reboot and hold the volume down button the whole time.
Fastboot is turned off. I've tried "Install ROM from SD Card" and "Reboot into Recovery" and still nothing. Very frustrating.

Rather than trying to enter recovery from ROM Manager, have you tried either:
A) With phone off, hold Volume - and Power until HBoot starts, then select recovery
B) With phone on, hold Volume - and choose Restart from the power menu, hold Vol - until HBoot appears, and choose Recovery
I've gone through unlocking my xoom wifi only (MZ604). Then when I try installing cwm it says all OK with the flash via fastboot but when I restart and hit vol down after 3 seconds I never gets the option to go into recovery?
Can anyone help pls?
Power & Vol up until you see the M. Release them then 3 or 4 seconds after your release press vol down.

thx for the info. when I do that, I only get options to go into rsd, fastboot or nvd or something? hmmm...
Flash the recovery again. Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
CHAMPION!!

Hi i just flashed my transformer to this rom

and now i can't go into recovery help please
Vol down plus power button and when you see words at top left corner you must push Vol up within 5 second.
Alternative is use the "Transformer boot into recovery" app from market.
Btw what is it doing when you try to get into recovery?
Are you trying to get into recovery by an app, or using the buttons as baseballfanz described?
If you cannot get into recovery using the buttons you may have to reinstall the "RecoveryInstaller.apk" for CWM to get it working again.
I can boot into Clockwork Recovery using the app but actually what is the exact button combinations to boot in to Clockwork Recovery?
Thanks.

Turn off. Hold VOL DOWN and POWER for about 10-12 seconds until small text appears. Tap the VOL UP within 5 seconds of when it says to press VOL UP to enter RCK.
Hey guys I have a recovery problem. I rooted my O1 and then tried to install cwm using app from market but when I try to enter recovery it starts fastboot Hopefully normal mode works and the phone boots into rom. So I tried reviving it using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046 but still have the same problem. So what do I have to do ????

You dont need to tick Erase Recovery.
Press HOME + VOLUME then power.. keep holding them til you see recovery!!
If it doesnt work.. flash recovery again using Rom Manager.
Also try to get into recovery through rom manager if nothing works!!
I'm having the same issue. Just flashed CWM with Rom Manager today. It worked a few times, but now it's not. I cannot select any option on the list. The back and search buttons blank out the screen except for the rom manager logo (also the background) and if I hit them again, the "cursor" has moved up or down, depending. If I press the power button, it also blanks out the screen except for the logo, but when I press it again, the cursor goes back to the top. The only button that doesn't make it blank out is volume down. Home and Menu buttons do nothing.
Also, doesn't matter if I load recovery manually or through RM.
UPDATE: Managed to get it stuck on the RM Logo. Nothing does anything.
UPDATE: Flashed VM670 Recovery with FlashImageGUI and am getting similar results. Now both volume keys allow for selecting, home and menu allow for selecting with the cleared screen, and power, back, and search do nothing but move the cursor to the top. If I hold the power button, though, the screen flashes and the cursor doesn't move.
I had same problem on my vm670 try using camera button to select . Worked for me

Don't forget that the camera button is a 2-step button. You have to press it all the way in for it to register in CWM. Also, I'm running CWM 3.2.0.1 and the Volume buttons work for me just fine.
And for the one who couldn't get into recovery, have you tried booting normally, connecting it to your computer, and running this at a command prompt?
adb reboot recovery
