Please help recovery mode problem - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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???

If your phone isn't stuck in fastboot now can't u just enter recovery by holding power +home +vol down (while switched off) ??? Or is ur problem entring it through Rom manager?

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​

Not included. It seems to be removed from the CWM recovery
I've experienced this as well, and what I can recommend is just try it again, only press the vol down and home button first before pressing the power button. to make sure less errors are had press from the lowest portion of the vol down button.
I remember that the kernel must be flashed with odin or i'm wrong??

Yep it must be flashed with odin, but you have to enter in download mode to do that via pc
another alternative is flash the kernel via odin mobile, I've done it several times and have not had any problems
try to enter download mode thorugh cwm icon
or if you have cyagnomed rom
then if you want to enter ur mode here the steps
connect your device with your pc
turn of ur mobile
take off battery
press down volume + home + power button and then enter the battery while you are pressing ..

can't get into recovery

Hi i just flashed my transformer to this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514658
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.

If u can't access botloader then flash recovery by this method!
That recovery had that prob from beginning so its not you only way to get the recovery to go through vol up and power which will lead you to that screan which has options about fast boot and bootliader you'll find an option for recovery there that's the access to recovery

Try it without back cover, you can press buttons very easy.
And by the way, I have too a problem with this recovery: when I do a backup of sd-ext fs ext4, the recovery saves it as ext3, and when restore it it's ext3 instead of ext4. Any ideea about this, the latest cwm recovery 5.0.2.8 it's not mounting an ext4 sd-ext.

(Q) Stuck at google logo, won't power off

press both power + volume down until it boots on bootloader. then choose recovery, press power and do necessary steps to flash a new rom
You need to restore your cwm or twrp backup in this case...
You phone's not restarting properly coz the custom myt have been missing a file or you might have forgotten to clear the data,caches and delvik cache before installing the custom rom zip file...
As of now...i recommend you restore your backup first

In TWRP, I wiped everything but internal storage. I thought it was a norm coming from a S4 but I don't think I should have done that now. I have the factory image downloaded. Just trying to get into fastboot mode.
I got into fastboot mode. the mistake I was making was that I was stop holding the buttons once the phone powered off.
Yeah...this boot stuck thing happend to me too...during custom rom installation...

If you long press the power button to force a reboot as soon as the screen goes off hold down the volume down button and it will put you into the bootloader screen, Getting to recovery from there is a piece of cake. Holding the volume down button at the beginning of a reboot (when screen is off) to get to the bootloader and/or recovery screen has worked on every device I've tried it on. Just one more way.

Auto boot to recovery !!!

I was upgrading my bootloader using one of the threads in XDA, it worked fine for me. Then I tried to upgrade my android but i was having TWRP recovery so it was a problem. I found a stock recovery on XDA and flashed it. After that i went to recovery mode and now, I can't get back. If i press the power button for 10 secs, it shut downs and boot back into recovery mode(No command window). I tried using the method of holding the Volume Up key and pressing the power button, but all it does is shows "qe 1/1" in the bottom left corner.
Please help !!
Thanks !
