flashed clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0 (BB) running stock rom android v2.2.1 via rom manager, rebooting to recovery says E: bad boot message "recovery" what does it mean
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
That happens to most people, it doesn't mean anything. The recovery will still work fine, I've been getting that ever since I've had this phone and it's never caused me any problems. Don't worry about it.
it seems that for me the recovery options are not working as i try to choose any option and its just stuck on with the recovery logo, i press power again and it back yo menu, is there any fastboot i need to disable ? because i cant get to bootloader... menu + vol up...

Try using other button to select, instead of power button. For me, I use search button, but my recovery is a different version than yours. If you give up, flash a different recovery file.

thanks MENU button here
now thinking which to install, any idea wich is must stable some from android 2.3 and up? was thinking on
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
why dont u just use the touch recovery of twrp. it works fine
Well right now you're on the old baseband, so make sure to flash a baseband fix if you install anything from 2.3 or up, you can download the fix here: http://www.mediafire.com/?tjyibxdbqyyrmwz make sure to install the fix every time you install a new rom.
As for the most stable rom, you'll have to try them and see which one you like. That being said, I've heard nothing but good things about oxygen rom.

Upgrade baseband! But read carefully all the steps first.

in oxygen rom thread he advices to upgrade new baseband and a recovery with new BB...
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk 2
You don't have to upgrade the baseband, he just recommends it because the new baseband gives better reception, if you use the baseband fix you can use any rom you like. If you do want to upgrade the baseband though, just use lg's official gingerbread updater, it's the safest way.
When I try to flash any Kit Kat Roms and it always says failed. At This point i dont even know whats happening. I have a sprint S3 And Twrp Recovery

I don't know much about the s3 but have you updated your recovery. Because recoveries need to be updated in order to install newer Roms sometimes. And this happened to me on my G300. Old recovery wouldn't install new jb ROM until I updated the jb compatible recovery.

which rom are you running?
sometimes the ROM that you are using has a bug with recovery
Try cwm if it doesn't work after you update your recovery

Try to install CWM Recovery via ROM Manager. It needs an internet connection.
Hey guys! I have a quick question over here. After I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) International LTE model, I've found out these two things:
1. Previously, after I root my phone and keep my stock recovery, my device status show "Custom" no matter what I do with it.
2. Right now, after I root my phone and flash a custom recovery: CWM, my device status show "Official".
Can anyone help me to understand why this would happen? Thanks!!!

Are you using a custom root rom? Most have it normalized or you can use xposed to make it official too.
dont forget the thanks button if I helped out!!

That doesn`t matter as the KNOX warranty void is tripped anyway, unless you rooted with Root de la Vega while you had a JB rom. You can also use Triangle Away to reset the staus.

Hey! I'm actually using stock rom. Problem is that, previously, I've already rooted but without flashing the custom recovery, it appears that my device status is custom and I couldn't change it using any Xposed modules. But, this time, because I have a CWM recovery in my phone, and the Xposed modules work. My question is, is it because of the custom recovery, so, the device status now shows official?

hello guys
i installed cm11 through one click installer had cwm on it now suddenly after reboot its taking me to simple recovery?!?
dont know what happened..need help
in my rom manager app its still showing current recovery as cwm 6.0.4.5 but when i reboot to recovery it takes me to simple recovery
pls help!
ok edit : when i go to recovery from rom manager app it takes me to cwm but when i do it manually ( advanced power button and volume + power button) it takes me to simple?
edit again : when i click on install from sd card (to install m9) it takes me back to simple recovery even from within rom manager??
first off, get rid of rom manager. itll has so many issues and will cause you many headaches. what you did first is not flash a recovery to your device, you just booted it. thats only for a one time use. you need to flash the custom recovery to have it permanently on your phone.
Reflash your recovery. And I recommend TWRP. I hear complaints ALL the time with CWR due to bugs but never TWRP. I've used CWR in the past on my Droid X. But I've since gone TWRP and I'm never looking back.

use the flashify app, its free, and can be used to flash other things besides a recovery. its a great app. you dont need rom manager to get into a recovery ever. if you press the power button(long), youll get a menu, press reboot. then youll get 3 more option, reboot/recovery/bootloader, press recovery(after you use flashify to flash your recovery).
I recommended Rom Installer over Flashify. It will download your recovery for you and keep it up to date. It will provide ROM updates. Also you can create a queue of zips to flash before you reboot. Then it flashes them automatically. It's a really good app. Way better then ROM Manager. Made by Jrummy so you know it's good . Not trying to bash @simms22. It's just my preferred app.

No. UNINSTALL ROM Manager now please. It's causing issues. Custom recoveries replace stock ones. Flash TWRP or CWR using the methods we suggested.

@ayush88 Use root Checker app to make sure you have root. That could explain why you have recovery issues

Does anyone else find that rebooting to recovery using twrp doesn't happen? I've tried re flashing recovery with fastboot and even selecting in bootloader boot to recovery after and still just boots into android.. Any ideas? Is it chainfires boot.img causing the problem?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Try unplugging phone from power source then attempt to enter TWRP.
I have done. I've just downloaded selinux changer app. Set permissive and then re flashed twrp again and now I can access it.

How you install custom kernel without TWRP?
My device is stock and i want to install elementalx + supersu to root. But i need TWRP first.
Fastboot the img file of twrp then boot into recovery from the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Got the same problem - I flash the TWRP image with fastboot successfully but when I try to enter recovery, it either reboots or shows me the stock recovery. I'm on stog Android 6, trying to flash a different rom and kernel...
we are on the same boat @granets . when i boot to custom recovery it just boots directly to homescreen.
Have you tried the other kernel i linked above?

Left the boat earlier by downloading TWRP again (for a third time!!!) and it worked fine. Guess when downloading from their site, there is a high percent chance you will get a corrupted file. So far around 50% of all images I download don't work, and every time the problem is different. Maybe try that
