When holding this combination on booting it used to load EXT4 Recovery but now it doesnt, the phone just boots as normal, anyway to fix this ? :good:
hm, first time i know this...Did you disable fastboot?
Yep thats disabled, even from a battery pull it doesnt do it, very confusing
Just tried reflashing the recovery image, no luck, still doesnt boot into it, I have to hold down volume down & power then choose recovery. Only way it works (or via Phone menu choosing reboot - recovery)
Do you have a custom rom running? If so sometimes developers leave an option to reboot into recovery whit holding the power button and choose reboot > recovery..
Either way try to install cwm and try rebooting into that if it works let me know..

Im using PkMn Charmeleon 5.1, maybe it was disabled then? but there is the option of power button and choose reboot > recovery
Usually if you remove the battery and place it back then volume down and power you will then boot to recovery. At first itooks like regular recovery but once you press recovery it will send you to 4ext. I've had to access my recovery this way when I've been in a bind. It works. No worries you do this and it will.boot you to recovery menu. Use the volume keys to scroll down to recovery and the power key to accept then it will send you to 4 ext. Hope this helps! You can always do this in a pinch too if your stuck and some Rom is not behaving correctly or your in trouble.
This is the times I boot this way. I'm certain it will work for you. Best of luck!

Yeah going through the bootloader is the only option I have other than actually booting into the rom first , just odd it doesn't work when holding volume up and power, never mind. Thanks guys.

I just installed the ATT stock ROM rooted, and when I now go into CWM Rom Manager, and try to reboot into recovery, or flash a rom from SD card, it says I need to reboot, then says press ok to reboot, I press ok and it just does nothing. Why isn't it rebooting?
Are you actually getting into CWM? Or is it just prompting you at the HTC bootloader screen to reboot? How did you flash the stock rooted rom?

I get into CWM just fine.
I go into CWM and press install ROM from SD, and select the ROM, then it says i need to reboot to install, I press OK, and then it just goes back to the CWM list of options, so I try "Reboot into recovery" and it just does nothing, as if I hadn't pressed anything, no reboot, nada.
I had this issue before with the ATT rooted ROM... not sure what's going on.
Actually I think I misread your post. Are you even getting out of Rom manager? I always boot into recovery by holding the volume down and pressing the power button from an off state. Rom manager is kind of quirky.

would be nice to have a simple way to boot into recovery tho.
ADB
ADB reboot recovery
Hold down volume and press power from an off state. Scroll down to recovery and hit the power button.

Coredroid you can press the power button reboot and select recovery.
Both methods mentioned above work.
You can also install quickboot from the market. You can run it, or create a widget to boot directly into recovery.
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?
Maybe your phone already bricked. Jtag will help you to resurrect your phone.
I apologize in advance for what should be an easy question. I've successfully rooted, unlocked and loaded recovery on to my ATT One X. How the heck to I boot in to recovery on this phone? I've tried holding every button combination conceivable.
Install quick boot. Easily chose boot mode.
Thanks, didn't think to do that!
Power off phone with nothing plugged into it. Then hold volume down and power until phone turns on in bootloader choose recovery.

I flashed CWM 5.8.3.1 and rooted the phone. Everything seems to be fine, except when I reboot form the recovery every time, it gives an "abnormal reset" error with the option to report to HTC. Is this normal?
Thanks!
Same here with CWM v5.1.8.5.
Everything is working although I havnt tried to flash a custom ROM yet.
It's because you used an app or adb to reboot phone into recovery. It's like turning off pc by hitting power button instead of shut down.
If u power it off and reboot into recovery using power and vol down buttons u won't get that

I have to say that this is the most finicky phone I've had as far as booting to recovery manually. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Apparently, I haven't found this phone's g-spot yet
It has something to do with the CMW (not being signed?) If I flash the stock recovery back, the error goes away.
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 ????
I have another question: I found in settings of rom manager erase recovery prior to flashing an.I didn't tick it so do I have to tick it???

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

Forgot aout those buttons... Voice dial button moves cursor down (VDown moves it up) but camera button does nothing.

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
