tried flashing kindacrapmods onto cleanrom 3.0. I selected odexed instead of deodexed which has now caused my phone to freeze in boot animation screen. pull battery and try to manually get into recovery but it just freezes into animation screen again. please help!
Are you holding vol up + home while powering on to get into recovery? If you are trying to get recovery you shouldnt be making it as far as a boot animation.
If boot animation is loading then you are not accessing bootloader menu option. Try the above suggestion but hold power for a longer time period... Let us know if that works

I don't know if this has been posted before or not, but there is a simple solution for those who are having problems getting into Clockwork Recovery after they root their phones. I for one was one of those people...until the solution was brought to my attention last night. WHILE RUNNING THE ROOT PROCESS, when your phone reboots unplug it and pull the battery BEFORE it gets past the initial samsung screen, THEN BOOT INTO RECOVERY and viola!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have Clockwork Recovery. May I remind you that this wasn't thought out by me...I'm just the messenger.
[EDITED] Sorry folks, in case you didn't know already, I forgot to mention a couple things. To get into recovery you need to hold down the VOL DOWN and CAMERA buttons while pressing and hold POWER button down until the recovery screen comes up. There are two types: BLUE TEXT=ANDROID RECOVERY or GREEN TEXT=CLOCKWORK RECOVERY. You are good to go if the text is green.

Don't forget to add the differences between recovery and clockwork. Recovery is blue and clockwork is green. If it's blue you are not in clockwork. Also to hold down volume down, power, and the camera button at the same time when you boot your phone to get into clockwork.

Thanks for the heads up.
i updated and now it wont fully boot up. i get to the screen where the honeycomb is going up and down and it just stays there. im having trouble getting it into recovery from adb so if anyone knows what to do please save me.
How long are you waiting because the first time mine booted in 3.2 it took about 10 mins.
Long enough for the xoom to die. I just want to be able to boot into recovery but when I try to from fastboot it doesn't do anything. I hope it's not bricked and there's something that can be done.

Do you have CWM installed? If so, boot the Xoom and at the Moto logo wait about 2-3 secs then press the Vol Down button. This will give you the option for recovery, press Vol Up to get in.
i do have it installed but it wont let me get into it through fastboot or those instructions.
do you think this is bricked?
Hmm. I'd keep resetting it (hold power and Vol Up) and trying to get into CWM. I can't see why this wouldn't work. To reiterate, you want to press vol down after about 2 secs of the Moto dual core image.
awesome, i didnt realize i had to press it down. i kept holding it and getting into fastboot. thanks for the help guys!
Glad to help
Ok so today my triumph stopped responding so i restarted it (took out the battery). then rebooted. upon reboot phone shuts down and now will hang at the motorola logo for about 10 min before boots but will shut back down due to the battery being dead(but had full charge when this started). Dont know what happened. So i try to get into clockworkmod to flash backup. cant get into it. the only thing i can do is get to the recovery.img file(pressing power+volume down). Other than that nothing.
also tried to boot with power pluged in. it stayed on but would not respond to any touches or button press except the lock button.
I have cwm 5.0.2.6 installed and tickerguy's cm7.
never had this problem till today. Any help would be appreciated.
a new development has occurred. now when i try to access recovery, the phone will just vibrate without stopping.
and i believe its stuck in a boot loop but without recovery i dont know anyway to exit the loop.
Are you able to get into download mode (power off then simultaneously press power button & vol- (should show polling))

Yes i am able to get to download mode
Well after some tinkering (replacing the recovery image, assuming something corrupted it) i can now get to recovery, still takes 10 min to load it though. But i am unable to do anything in recovery because i have to press the menu button to confirm selection but the buttons wont respond. Some help would be appreciated.
I haven't seen anything that quite fits my situation, I unlocked my tablet, and rooted it, and installed CWM. I then went to install CM nightly and upon reboot the tablet froze at the ASUS boot screen, I've tried rebooting by holding the power button down, holding the power and volume down button down, and power and volume up, with no luck. I've also tried letting the battery die and then booting back up with no luck. Could anyone provide any assistance?
Thanks.
Now when you say it froze, you mean you let it sit there for awhile right? You gotta give ROM's time to create a cache! Try using fastboot to boot into recovery and install stock just to make sure it works

Cwm has issues on this unit, I suggest twrp when you get to that point.
To recover your unit you have to be able to use adb, fastboot, or recovery.
Here is a link to help you get into position to use one of those.
Good Luck!
Note: If you get into the bootloader menu do not use WIPE DATA!
im using a tmobile samsung galaxy reverb and i installed cwm and a new rom. all was good till i installed rom toolbox and i was using the boot animation randomizer. it worked fine the first reboot then the next one the boot image never left the screen but i can rotate my screen and see half of my home screen also go into all my apps but i cannot see the upper/left half of my screen. i held down the power and vol down button and it goes to into the warning page about istalling a custom OS instead of CWM. can anybody please help me out with this???!!!
Is I'm not mistaken.. You want to power off your device. Then press power, home, and volume up to get to recovery.. (Not sure about home). I do know that volume down sends you to "download" which is not what you want.
