Does anyone else have this problem where when your booted into recovery, either TWRP or CWM, the screen seems to flash, or blink repeatably? My recovery works so I'm not complaining, I've just not had this happen on my previous phones.

Please help this newbie out!... I recently rooted my Inspire 4G with attn1's hack kit. That went smooth without issue and I have tried a variety of custom ROMs thanks to this great community, but I have noticed a random issue with booting into ClockworkMod Recovery since... I installed Rom Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.6 and the problem is that sometimes I can boot into recovery and sometimes not. It only seems to work is the first time I reboot immediately after flashing ClockworkMod, then subsequent reboots the phone just boots normally. (I hold volumn down and press power.) I have also tried installing Amon's Recovery (supersonic 2.3) manually using Fastboot - it seems to install without error but when I try holding the down volume button and hitting power - phone just boots normally. So it seems I am stuck with a ClockworkMod install that does not really work with reliability.... I am lost now trying to figure out why this is happening.
Can someone that has seen similar issues provide some tips/suggestions?
TIA

I had the same problem... quit using version 3.0.0.6 and go back to the earliest version, 2.5.1.3 through All ClockworkMod Recoveries. Worked for me.

You don't have 'fast boot' enabled in settings/application? If so it will not really shut off completely and when you power it up with VOL- it will not work.
i'm also having issues getting cwm to work outside the black screen. i have tried sense/ no sense roms and none have been able to bring up cwm outside the blank screen. i am also running 3.0.0.6 or whatever it is but that has not helped my issue

did you use the Simple Root method to root your phone?
can you confirm if you have s-off and root?

Sounds like fastboot is enabled. If you turn it off you will be able to boot into recovery.
i used the simple one click. yes i have root and s-off. but i'm stuck now. can not see cwm by manually booting into hboot. or through the app and clicking boot into recovery
[Q] Clockworkmod recovery not booting up
I have my phone rooted and ready to flash a custom ROM. I want to install android revolution 4g 4.0. I read that I need to ahve CWM version 3.0.0.6 to flash a 2.3 ROM. Anyways, when i select reboot into recovery in ROM Manager, my phone reboots and shows the HTC logo but then it fades to black screen and does nothing. If i press the power button, the phone reboots normally into the OS. Does anyone know how to fix this so i can install a custom ROM?
I have this exact same issue. Although i can load roms from choosing "Install from sd card" i cannot just boot into recovery and install it from there.
I just recently bought my inspire 4g a week ago.
Mine is 2 days old. Now i cant get it to boot up because it keeps trying to boot into CWM recovery but it cant. Its and endless loop.
Mine wont even load recovery. It reboots the phone but then just fades to a black screen. I cant get back into the OS

just press power button and it will reboot your phone.
still stuck doing that too. can get the phone to reboot. but stuck at htc screen or black cwm screen. also checked sd card and is corrupted. i was thinking if i could just flash a new rom over to fix boot issue. but i need some screens to blindly walk through to flash. cwm is 3.0.0.5 if that matters. thanks. on a side note. i think i have a new cm7rc2 build on a formated sd card to try and minimize the guess work on what to click

pull your battery and just turn you phone on without going into Fastboot menu.
downloading now. will give update in a few min
also does it matter that my phone will not go past the white htc screen?

Are you saying that your phone shows the white HTC screen then fades to black?
if so, no, it doesn't matter...just press the power button to reboot your phone.
When I select to reboot to recovery the phone attempts to reboot and never shows the google screen. I have to enter the bootloader and enter recovery from there. After i install what I need to install and click "reboot to system" in the recovery, the phone does the same thing. It just goes to a black screen. I have to re-enter the bootloader again and select "Start" to boot into the ROM.
What could be the issue here? Do I need to reflash the bootloader?
What rom are you on. Stock doesn't give you an option to boot into recovery. I'd try and re-flash the rom

PSX. This started to happen after I flashed CWM so I switched back to TWRP but it seems like clockwork might of screwed something up. Might have to flash the factory img.

I would try flashing the recovery image in fastboot. That should fix up the recovery issue. Cwm seems to have some issues right now.

That did not work. Still cant turn on the phone unless i go into the bootloader when attached to AC adapter and click start from there.

I have stock recovery and can't boot. My model is currently reported as "g2" thanks to the mahdi rom which I screwed up flashing.
Has anyone been able to flash back to a stable firmware by bypassing the model check (using a special .dll, anything?).

i had that problem once and this is what i did...
i booted back into recovery,TWRP or CWM,
i had TWRP , went to advanced wipe and wiped everything,
system,data,cache,dalvik cache
powered down and put it back in download mode and reflashed stock.
it seems that if you dont wipe system it is still picking it up as whatever model rom you flashed.
hope that helps...

So adb is accessible through stock recovery? I hold down+power until the LG logo, then release both, and press both again. This takes me to hard reset menu, not recovery. I press power three times, the andriod guy appears with a progress bar (i think it is attempting to factory reset here) and then it reboots. Everything I seem to find on Google/XDA indicates the only way to access a recovery mode is through a custom recovery.
If it's really this simple I'm going to flip.......ha

there is a recovery menu even through stock that you can reach. not sure how to get there except through your phone being on in the kk ui. i will try looking around. kinda busy at work so if i dont respond quickly im sorry. in the mean time try again through lgflashtool. make sure your sim card is out when doing it

I don't see a 2.8.7.0 on the TWRP site.
I do however see a 2.8.5.0
are you sure you are using the correct one?
their could be a M8 2.8.7.0 I just can't find it.
EDIT: nvm sorry, I see it now here:

Wish I could be of help, sorry friend.
I fixed myslef. luckily I had a few versions of the kernel i was runnning. so i flashed one of those and everything worked fine.
Im sure its flashify's fault. seems like it flashed to both the boot and recovery partition

I agree, I only use fastboot when it comes to things such as recovery
I'm trying to load TWRP or any custom recovery on my above mentioned tablet but i'm just not able to load it. nor even boots normally. Only ODIN mode.
when i try recovery boot, a screen saying 'TEAMWIN' will appear shortly but soon closes and 'Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1' bootscreen comes up. I can only access ODIN(Download) mode and even tried to flash different custom recovery files and it says Passed but still again getting the same TeamWin screen loading in recovery mode and crashes in the middle and then bootloop happens.
Not sure whats the problem.
PLS Help !

Sorry you will have to read for yourself.

I was having issues at first.
Maybe give this a try and see if it works for you.
I had to install CWM via odin, and wait a good while for the "pass."
Then I had to make sure not to let it reboot on its own.
I powered off manually, and then booted into recovery like this:
1. Volume down and power on at the same time.
2. Immediate release power when you see anything pop up, but continue holding volume down.
3. Release vol down when you see the teamwin logo.
That got me passed the part where it would automatically bypass TWRP.
I then used the toolbox to do the rest including the "fix."
I had to manually boot into TWRP at first, even with the toolbox, but that was the issue I had, and how I got around it.
Philz Recovery works.

Probably, but that doesn't mean the issue was ever solved.
I'm having the EXACT same issue as OP... All of a sudden I got bootloop when starting the tablet normally, going to recovery only shows TeamWin logo briefly and tablet reboots, and download mode works (Odin detects the tablet) but it always says "DOWNLOADING... Do not turn off target.".
Already tried installing stock rom, Philz recovery, CWM Recovery, EFS Repair... Nothing worked.

If the TWRP screen is still there after you've flashed for example the stock ROM, than it's clear that your eMMC is locked.
In this case it need's to get replaced, I'm doing this weekly, so this problem is to solve.
