recovery rom problem cyanogenmod7

Hi
I installed Cyanogenmod 7 and with it i added and Nscollab and I decided to change it.
Now the problem is that everytime i try to get into recovery from phone and from rom manager it displays the startup google logo and it stucks there.
iv'e heard that you can flash rom from computer. if anyone knows about program or any solution Please help me

Try to flash newest recovery form ROM manager. Sometimes it will not stay there after first flash, so try couple of times. If not, there IS the way to flash *img files from fastboot via PC. Google fastboot with other keywords, and there should be plenty of guides to do that ...
But first method should work just fine ...

Fastboot flash recovery

yessir, if rom manager doesnt work then go:
fastboot flash recovery iLikePie.img
IN FASTBOOT MODE
and you should be good!

i tried that, i said by phone(via fastboot) and it just leads me nowhere, it comes back to same menu only and reboot and power-off works :\

What exactly did u try? Go here and try to flash it...

i cant get into the recovery. via the fastboot and via rom manager
when i tried to flash with the fastboot, i pressed on the recovery button and it shows the google startup logo, returns to the menu and it leads me nowhere.
when i tried to flash with rom manager, it reboots, and leads me to the startup google logo and stuck there. what im trying to say is that i dont have access to recovery menu (the backup, install from zip file etc).

Try reflashing recovery from rom manager. It takes a few try for it to stick. When rom manager says it flashed. Reboot recovery from within rom manager. And keep trying till it sticks. Shouldn't take more than 3times

So you tried to flash recovery.img from fastboot and everything went smooth? After that you still can't go into recovery? Strange, that should work :S

it worked! the only button i didnt try it was the reboot into recovery,
thank you very much and all of you who helped me

[Q] Cannot boot into recovery. Laggy phone as well.

I was just about to try updating from NScollab 1.0.39 to 1.0.40 and for some reason my nexus s refuses to boot into recovery. It doesn't seem to exist anymore. Im not sure if it is related or not but my phone became very laggy after my first failed attempt to boot into recovery. I tried fixing user permissions and rebooting many many times but it doesn't seem to help.

What does it do when u try to boot into recovery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

It doesnt do anything. It just reboots into the bootloader.
Thank you for the quick reply
edit:
i tried flashing recovery again through rom manager and now whenever i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the google logo with the unlocked padlock.

Hmmm
Do me a quick favor.
go here:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Ne...de#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery_Image
and download the 4.0.0.2 recovery image and save it to some directory on ur computer
then follow these steps:
1. Open up command prompt/terminal and plug in phone to computer
2. Type "adb reboot bootloader"
3. It will take you to fastboot mode. Now type "fastboot erase recovery"
4. Then type fastboot "flash recovery ____.img"
( ____ is the name of the recovery img file)
5. Now it will flash and once it says "OKAY" then scroll down using volume down into recovery and see what happens
plz get back to me bout this!

Thank you so much for the quick help! btw i updated recovery from rom manager and i ran into the same problem with it not booting into recovery so i am guessing there is a problem with the latest version of recovery? I'll just reflash through the instructions you gave me.

Yeah prolly a ROM manager issue

the recovery generally doesnt stick if flashing it through rom manager. flash it through fastboot and itll stick.

Hmm thanks for the advice! ill keep that in mind

Bricked my Nexus?

Hi guys,
A little help would be appreciated here as I think i've bricked my SNS just now..
I was following this guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=878446 in an attempt to flash clockworkmod to then flash something else however:
I get to step 14 after booting into recovery and a whole bunch of e:/ errors are shown, mainly around the Cache when in the cwm recovery screen.
I attempted to flash the stock ROM as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 (Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader)
However this error'd and went back to the cwm screen with the e:/ errors.
The phone will now not boot past the Google logo with the unlocked padlock on the screen.
Any ideas atall? I've tried factory wipe/cache/devlik wipe ect but the errors are still showing?
Thanks in advanced!

i had experienced same problem " E:/ errors"
try use newer or older version of recovery , that's how i solved it ...
can you still be able to enter fastboot ? if so , you can flash new recovery img via adb
if you can't ,that's gonna be kinda problem , i suggest you try Odin ...although it could be little more complicated then recovery

Thanks for replying.. How do I get into Fastboot if it doesn't boot though? + what command do I use to get there from a Mac?
I've used odin before so am aware of how it works, but wouldn't know which files to flash if you know what I mean?
Edit: Im using cwm 3.0.0 by the way, not sure if that helps?

[Q] [i9023] Blank/Black screen in recovery

Hey everyone,
Basically I was trying to flash a new ROM onto an old Nexus S of mine and when I tried to boot into recovery there was just a black screen. I pressed the power button and a single line saying "Clockwork mod Recovery" and the version number popped up. I assumed that the recovery must've been corrupted so I erased it and installed the latest version using fastboot which seemed to work fine.
Now whenever I try to boot into recovery I just get a blank screen with nothing else. I've tried using other recovery images such as twrp but the same problem happened, I just get the background wallpaper/image and nothing else.
I searched the forums and apparently people were having this issue earlier on when the i9023 was first released but now most custom recoveries are supposed to work with both i9020 and i9023.
Also the touch buttons light up and vibrate whenever I touch them when I'm in recovery mode.
Any help to this problem would be greatly appreciated as atm I have an old ROM which is buggy as hell and I need to get rid of it.
Cheers!

I had the same Issue. If you can boot into the rom, you can try to download the rommanager-app and install the recovery from there.

Hey I tried that already that and instead of booting into recovery it just went into the bootloader and said "No Recovery or Bootloader found".
Any other ideas?

Did you clicked the first point in rommanager? Install recovery, or you only hit the second button reboot into recovery?

Hey
I have the i9023 and I install rom manager. install CWM and if I reboot into recovery it works and I get in to CWM recovery.. but after reboot into os.. if I go into Rom manager and reboot to recovery it dont work? I just get the android figur and a "!".. then I just can Power + vol up and I'm in bootloader recovery..
Do I have to install CWM every time i want to use it? and can't I access CWM on boot op ?
sorry for my bad English

Normaly you have to flash the recovery only once.
Try to flash the newer clockwork-recovery with fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686

Alfiedk: You need to get rid of this file:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
As it re-installs the stock recovery every boot.
I think you can download any custom ROM for your phone, and flash it in CWM recovery, this will also solve the problem
Edit: Did you unlock the phone? Have you tried fastboot oem unlock?

I try to delete the /install-recovery.sh

Yes you need to unlock your bootloader, if you dont want to reflash it all the time.

Yes I made sure I selected install clockwork mod. Like I said the problem isn't the same when I do this, instead of a blank screen, when I boot into recovery it goes straight to fastboot and tells me that I don't have a recovery image installed at all...

what happens when you try to temporary boot into the recovery?
instead of "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", try to "fastboot boot recovery.img"
Just look for an recovery.img that works temporary and then try to flash it permanently.

I'll try it and get back to you Xziped. If anyone else can think of any other ideas please just throw'em at me, I'm willing to try anything!

Yeah no help there either. It does the exact same thing temporarily booting into a recovery that it did when I actually had it installed on the phone :\.
I updated ROM manager to the latest and tried installing CWM with that but to no avail. It still says that there is no recovery installed when I do that.

Sorry but if not even the temporary recovery boots up, i dont know what else we can do
did you try some of the older recoverys? is your bootloader unlocked?

I haven't tried an older recovery and my bootloader is unlocked.
could it be a problem with my computer as opposed to the phone itself? As in my computer is messing up when trying to flash the recovery?
I've also noticed now that when I boot into fastboot mode the menu just locks up and doesn't respond to anything. Sometimes I have to pull the battery and other times it'll start responding after randomly pressing the power key a lot of times...
I'll try an older recovery next

Use Odin, that might solve your problems. Search for the Nexus S version of Odin in the Dev section here.

[Q] Always boots into recovery

Hey, so I have a problem with my pico. For some months I didn't use it much. I had install cm11 which was experiencing some bugs. Anyways yesterday I tried to flash the miuiv5 ROM however the device didn't boot up. It got stuck in the bootscreen. I found out that I hadn't made an SD-EXT Partition needed for miui. So, I made it and tried to flash miui again. But now the phone doesn't even get to the bootscreen. When I boot my phone the HTC screen comes followed by a black screen. After a few seconds the black screen is gone and again the HTC screen comes booting up the recovery
I tried to flash other ROMS with no success at all. I have TWRP v2.2.2.1 and tried installing CM,AOKP as well as PAC ROMS with no success. Any solutions???
