thnx for your reply how to flash it from CWM recovery mode ?

i believe for your phone you must shutdown your phone and after its closed press vol up + call key (and tap power button to turn on the phone)
That should take you to 'bootloader'. There should be a 'recovery' option there, that will take you to CWM recovery. The CWM recovery should have a black background with orange text(it could also be blue text).
If so, then you're in CWM recovery. Just go to 'Install from sdcard' and 'choose from sdcard' (or something like that), then choose the CM7 .zip file.
Make sure you make a backup before flashing the ROM. Backup can also be made from CWM recovery, its one of the options

Make sure you have CWM recovery flashed on your phone.
You can be sure by going into ROM Manager and in the first option 'Flash CWM recovery', it should be written 'Current Recovery: ClockworkMod x.x.x.x'
If thats not written, then you need to click the first option and flash the CWM recovery (u'll need a internet connection for that)

IT IS not going to recovery mode it 1st hang to ideos screen then rebot to simple mode

for info on how to use CWM recovery and stuff - CLICK HERE

still it is not showing recovery mode

Like codenameunknown said, but try this also:
Info
Getting into recovery
while the device is off...
Press and hold the Volume Up + Call Key
TAP << not hold >> the power button
Don't let go of the Volume Up + Call Key until device light up
Generally it'll always end up in recovery if the Volume Up + Call Keys are held down when the device powers. Doesn't matter how it powered on, whether via power button, usb cable, reboot etc.
while the device is on...
via Rom Manager

Does ROM Manager say 'Current Recovery:'
if so, the you have CWM recovery on your phone.
The link i provided says that

dude i knw after install rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery i cant go to recovery mode before that it was all good

the link i provided says that your phone IS supported.
Is your version of ROM Manager updated? (im not sure if that will help, but just try, it wont hurt!)
If it still doesnt want to show, you can manually flash the CWM recovery onto your phone. I would tell you how, but im not familiar with your phone.
EDIT:
i searched for a manual way for you to flash it, and ended up with this thread... CLICK HERE . Although this thread also says that the phone is fully supported in ROM Manager now. But it also give you a way to manually flash it

how to connect pc to android in bootloader mode ????? when i open install-recovry-windows.bat of ultrajack or all other i hav tried all others nuthing happened

[Q]Reboot into bootloader without power button

Hi,
The power button of my transformer is broken :
I can't power on the device, but I can light on/off the screen.
In order to fix it, I've got to send it to the customer service, but before I need to flash it back to stock.
To flash it I need to go to bootloader or download mode (I dunno what volume+/power is??)
Here is the thing, I did some searches and I tried :
- via adb
- directly from the terminal emulator
- via some widgets with boot mode selection
None of these work, all these methods make the transformer perform a normal reboot.
I'm rooted, and my rom is one of the first ICS beta Revolver.
I just need to flash it back to stock.
Thx in advance.

Reboot into bootloader without power button
Hi fastreward,
It should be possible to boot into recovery from software; for example, I've seen Megatron Parts (for Megatron ROM) boot into recovery after downloading some Plugin.
ROM Manager has an option to reboot into recovery, have you tried it? I think I used one of the options of ROM Manager to update something in my phone (not the ROm nor in my tablet) because it was part of the process, and I believe it rebooted into recovery.
Hope it helps so you can restore your Transformer to STOCK and send it to service.

Vol up + power button get you into APX mode.
(Good only if you're SBK v1 for NVFLash)
If you have CWM recovery, this will boot you into it.

If you have CWM recovery, just download an official firmware from Asus website.
Extract the zip file from within, put it on your sd card (or where ever CWM can see it)
Flash the zip file and once reboot you'll be unroot with stock recovery.
(Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing)

If you can get the tf to do a normal reboot, just hold down the Volume-Down button as it's doing that, and when the screen pops up it will ask checking-for-rck then press volume up to boot into the recovery image, no power button required. (note you do need it to select in recovery, unless you have touch version)
Alternative hold vol-up while soft rebooting to go into APK (sbkv1 only)

Possible brick into CWM HELP PLEASE

okay so i flashed cwm recovery 6.0.1.3 to my asus transformer infinity and it was put on there fine. i went into cwm and found out that the volume keys wouldn't toggle up or down. so i thought id try to factory reset the device and maybe that will uninstall cwm and i would be able to fastboot a newer version. so i clicked on wipe when in the mode before going into cwm with the 4 options (i think its 4 cant really remember) from left to right. once i clicked on this it went into cwm so i clicked reboot device and now when i reboot it shows it asus and in top left device is unlocked then goes back to cwm where i cant toggle anything except reboot. please help i dont know what to do

once you in recovery (see 4 icons), use volume down to switch to USB icon, then use volume up hit it twice, now your device is in fastboot mode. Connect your usb cable (make sure usb debugging and unknow source are checked in settings). From your pc now you can flash using script or manuall push it.

i dont think so i cant toggle down or up in cwm, is there some other way to flash it?

There used to be a flash binary that worked with adb (I.e. via recovery). I've not seen or heard of it for a while, but the fact that recovery can still be flashed from booted Android tells me it's still available. ROM Manager and GooManager both allow you to install recovery, so I would start with decompiling those...

First you need to access you tablet (while it's booted in CWM) via adb shell.
Second, you need to verify that the recovery can access the internal eMMC - "ls /dev/block/mmcblk0*" should list at least 8 partitions.
Then, you can put a flashable zip into and the installation command onto the cache partition - the procedure is exactly the same as the method to manually install incremental dlpkgfile updates.

[Q] OnePlus One unique softbrick?

I rebooted my OnePlus One yesterday and found myself in a weird situation. The phone would go to the initial OnePlus logo then after, a smal android logo with a red warning sign appears for a split second, and I boot into the CM stock recovery. I can't turn it on or enter fastboot, nor can I turn on ADB Debugging on my phone and would really appreciate help as I do not want this phone to be gone. Pretty scared guys, help would be much appreciated!

I've never seen this problem before.
I supose you are bootloader unlocked, rooted and have costum recovery, right?
For fastboot, if it does not work normally, try: up button + power with the phone connected to the PC; if it does not work, try the same button combo + plug the phone to the pc while you are holding down the buttons.

Thanks for the prompt response. I think you should also know that I attempted to put a custom recovery on my OPO, but after saying that it worked, I only loaded into the CM Stock Recovery. I do not, have my phone with me at the moment as I did not think it would be necessary to bring to school with me, but I will attempt everything you have said. Thanks for the help so far!

I attempted both ways but nothing happens as I press the buttons. It will only boot in the CM Simple Recovery.

I believe you messed it up for good, since you: can't get into fastboot; have no recovery; have no backups... If you could get fastboot to go you would only need to flash twrp and then sideload a rom =/
Does the stock recovery let you sideload?

Yes. It does.
Download the stock image. I'm sure it will be there somewhere in the forums.
Then go to recovery and do the following:
Select 'apply update'. Then you either have the option to apply update from Internal Storage or from adb.
Select adb and enter: adb sideload update_filename.zip

assuming it's the stock android recovery, i'm pretty sure it allows for sideloading.
Def sounds like something got flashed to the wrong parition though

[SOLVED] TWRP not booting

I've been trying to flash TWRP onto my Galaxy S3 and my Galaxy S9 for a few days now, and every time I try to do so, it flashes successfully, but then boots into stock Samsung recovery when entering recovery mode. I've used Odin on Windows and Heimdall on Linux, but both have the same issue. I tried different versions of TWRP as well.
If it helps, I'm pretty sure both phones are OEM unlocked. The S9 has the option in developer options, and says it it unlocked in download mode. The S3 doesn't have any option for this, and doesn't say anything in download mode about it.
Even though the S3 might not be OEM unlocked, it still doesn't explain the issue with the S9.
I'm also dual booting, so all attempts were from the same computer. It might be some issue with my computer, but I really don't have access to another one right now, so I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas or thoughts on the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check this?
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

I think for S3 it's
Vol up + Home + Power
Basically:
1. Flashing
2. Reboot into Recovery by keep pressing Vol up + Home + Power
3. Allow TWRP to become permanent

Holding the given buttons just brings me to default recovery, so I'm not sure what the proper recovery is. I've also tried Volume Up + Down + Home + Power.

Hmm, didn't flash an S3 for quite some time but I vaguely remember that I had similar problems during
"After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted"
and often missed or was too clumsy, too late or both
Would in fastboot the command
fastboot reboot recovery
work for you? Or does it still end up in stock recovery?
Perhaps it's really time to check in the s3 threads for further advice?

Okay so turns out I needed to boot into recovery immediately after flashing TWRP on both phones because when booting into the system, the recovery is replaced. After doing this, everything worked fine and I was able to get custom ROMs working! I appreciate your help though
