[Q] Problem booting into Recovery (ClockworkMod)

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.

[q] help!!! Flashed clockwork recovery

Hi Everybody,
I unlocked a Samsung Nexus S 4g, managed to installed clockwork 3.0.2.4 and now when I reboot, it got stuck on the loading screen where it shows "google" and the and the padlock at the bottom. Please help me fix this.
This is my friend's phone. It seems that it does not recognize the sdcard.
Thank you for your help if you can provide any advice.
DUO

Have you ever taken the phone apart? I normally only see that when the NFC/"SIM" daughter board isn't connected. Also, can you boot into bootloader?

Boot into fastboot.
Download the recovery image again. Make sure it's the correct recovery for your NS model (don't use the NS4G recovery on the NS GSM). Flash it using fastboot.
Then go into recovery, do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

Idk why, but my friend had the same problem. He downloaded an older version of CWM recovery through ROM Manager, rebooted into recovery after and was able to install CWM 4.0.1.4 after. Idk if that will help but it worked for him

Fixed it!!!!
Thank you guys for all your help. I had to unrooted and make sure it loads completely and do the whole process of rooting it again with the newest Clockwork recovery for the ns4g.
It took me a good couple of hours and bring my friend home mad at me, but she will be happy today when I get back her phone.
I wanted to thanks all of you for your help. I'm new to this forum but I appreciate your prompt response. I guess I'm going to stick around more often.
Thanks again

When you unlock your Phone, everything is wiped.
After you install recovery, you have to start your Phone by holding the Vol Up and Power button.
Go to recovery - mount your SDCard, copy the ROM that you want to flash and flash it.
You are not stuck on the Google Bootscreen - there is no ROM to boot from.

Thanks alot, it really got me worry but I was able to mount sd card and complete the whole process, now it is running the latest MIUI port for it.

I had a similar issue only that when I would click to flash the zip for clockwork in bootloader it said "file does not exist" I had to run a cmd prompt on my comp to install the clockwork mod.

[Q] can't boot to recovery

Hi Guys,
I have an i9023 running ICS.
I've downloaded the ROM Manager application from the Market to change my kernel. It said I have to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery first. I had it already but I did it as I thought it's not the latest. Flashing was done, it has been rebooted.
Since that I'm unable to boot to recovery or bootloader. Neiter from ROM Manager, nor switching off and choose reboot to recovery. It stucks at Google logo and nothing happens after it.
Also tried to keep the volume buttons pushed while turning my device on, but it boots normally to my ROM.
Any idea? I definitely need a kernel and of course I have to be able to access recovery.
Thank you in advance.

In Rom manager setting, enable erase recovery and then flash again.

You sure you use VOLUME UP + POWER? Other combo's won't work.

You can try with Root Explorer to rename install-recovery.sh if there is system/etc/install-recovery.sh...

[Q] Huawei Vision keeps restarting

PS: I try to get in recovery menu,but I cant

do you have backup? if you have
try to get recovery via adb
type ' adb reboot recovery '
and then restore

I dont have backup.I managed to get into recovery and made factory defaults, but nothing.It keeps restarting.I uploaded the rom to my sd card.And I saw "download rom from sd card" in the recovery menu.If I click it,would it flash the rom?
And another thing is that i cant remove the battery and that is why it is so hard to get into recovery
PS How it is possible to get into recovery mode when the phone is constantly restarting and I cant remove the battery?

use adb to get recovery, when the phone boots, quickly type 'adb reboot recovery'

1. Hold the Vol (+) and Power button and hold it until the screen is black. Count to 10 seconds. (Hard reset)
2. Remove a second finger from the Power button and return back to Power button (Quickly release and immediately press it back.) Huawei logo should appear just for a second and then it will turn off. Count to 10 seconds.
3. Remove your fingers and wait for the phone to turn on again, if not then good, if on then do it all over again.
4. Enter recovery mode
5. Flash it back using SUT L3.
