I am running ClockworkMod Recovery, and when I updated to version 2.0.1.0 through Koush's ClockworkMod Rom Manager, my phone won't boot into recovery.
When I plug it in to my computer to run adb logcat, it says "FASTBOOT USB" in red at the top of the screen. When I type fastboot reboot, it says "rebooting..." but doesn't reboot. Any ideas?
IDK. Haven't tried that recovery. Have you tried to download from your computer and flash it on the phone. You might also want to try flashing Amon RA or Godspeed.
I went into ROM Manager and flashed an old version of ClockworkMod. That fixed it.
Have you tried Amon-RA? If so what's the difference?

ClockworkMod has a nice app that you use in Android to name your backups, flash things in folders other than root of sd, ecetera.

running latest cyanogen 5. I installed rom manager and flashed the clockwork recovery, which wouldn't work. I then tried to roll back to RA in the terminal, and no matter what i do, i get an out of memory error. I've cleared every cache, and deleted every file i'm comfortable with deleting in the system folder. I cannot get into any recovery console at all, so i can't even restore or flash another rom. What the hell do i do? I can't even hard reset. In addition to that, the drivers error out no matter what on my computer, so i can't fastboot usb.
I had a similar problem with Clockwork not working. However I was able to easily reflash RA recovery in fastboot. Perhaps try reinstalling your drivers and try fastboot again.
If you still have problems, you could always try another computer?
Same thing happened to me. Fastboot fixed it. Perhaps a second reason to not trust clockwork.

There is no need to open a new thread for something you can post in the CM5 thread.
firstly, wrong section - this belongs in QnA
secondly, in rom manager, at the bottom there is an option to install an "alternate" recovery image - Amon_RA 1.6.2
this takes a bit of time, so be patient
i had the same issue when i tried clockwork a week ago and couldnt get fastboot to work (no matter how hard i tried) when it had been working fine before that
moved to Q&A, best
If you want to remove rom manager and clockwork, try using the fastboot and use the command.
Fastboot erase recovery
and try to reflash the RA recovery.
Fastbot recovery nameofrecovery.
and see if it help's.
Hi XDA, as title says, i cant get boot into recovery...
I have an HTC Dream (Spanish version of G1), and Im having problems with the recovery boot.
I have root done on the phone and i've tried to install a new recovery via Clockwork app, adb shell, also via Fastboot and via "RECOVERY FLASHER"...
All of them look to finish succesfully, but I still cant boot onto recovery.
Every time I try to boot on recovery, the phone gets hang on the company logo... until I get out the battery to turn it off.
I dont know what can I try more...
Any idea ?
Thanks
If you cannot boot into recovery by holding down Home and Power, then you're bricked, I believe. What were you trying to do?

I can boot normally, and I run apps that need root correctly, but I want to boot into recovery to flash a custom ROM...
Clockwork mod needs to reboot into recovery to reflash a Custom ROM, so I cant get another rom that way neither.
Any idea (again)?
Do you have terminal on your phone? Download amon RA recovery 1.7.0 for HTC Dream and use that instead Clockwork because it is most recommended. Rename it to recovery.img and move it to the root of your SD card.
Go to terminal on your phone and type:
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
Now try to boot into recovery mode.

If you have root access, then you can try to (re-)install your recovery image using adb.
Open a shell using the command
adb shell
and then from there you can try to flash the recovery image by entering
flash_image recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the recovery image you want to install and it should be located in the current directory.
Edit: two people same ideas ... ;-)
Both things re-done...
Nuthin'
Anything else ?
Thanks for the answers anyway
Bump...
Any help ?
Fastboot is working for me, but I have the default SPL and I cant use "fastboot flash new_recovery.img" ---> Not allowed.
Theres a way to flash another SPL using phone terminal, or using fastboot ?
Thanks
I'm not sure, but if I was in the same boots as you, I would download the DREAIMG.nhb and flash that in fastboot. Once done, you'll be on Stock RC29. Yep, you're going to have to root again and re-install a custom recovery.
This is also safe to do since you're on HBOOT-0.95.000.

1. Get a teminal emulator from the market and reboot recovery. or
2. Get quick Boot from the market and install/use that to boot into recovery or
3. Power down the phone and push the trackball+power to boot into recovery
If none of those 3 options work for you, your recovery did not flash and you will need to either reflash it. (making sure fastboot sees your phone with fastboot devices)
Or you could download ROM manager from the market. Using that, you can install clockwork recovery from the app itself.

Flash the recovery via fastboot, not adb...

I unlocked the bootloader on my HTC One and successfully flashed CWM recovery; however, when I try to boot into recovery the HTC splash screen comes up with "Entering Recovery" for a few seconds (as it should), then the screen goes black for a second and it boots into the ROM like normal without going into Recovery.
I've seen that the general fix for this is to clear the dalvik-cache, but I can't do that without root permission, and I can't install the superuser to get root without being able to boot into the Recovery.
I have developer options enabled with USB Debugging, Fastboot is turned OFF.
I have flashed to plain CWM, touch CWM, and TWRP, all with the same results.
fastboot erase cache had no effect

are you flashing recovery with adb-fastboot, what computer os are you using
are you usung the correct recovery image, for the sprint m7wls, (fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls)
use goo manager to flash the recovery and see
or you can use the all in one tool in the dev section

I am using the "fastboot flash recovery" command on Windows 7 64-bit (I have also tried on 32-bit).
You were right about the recovery file, I was using openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7.img, not m7wls. So for anyone who finds this thread later make sure it's the right recovery file for your build and carrier (not just phone model).
Finally decided to root my own device to find out that the recovery is not working when I try going into it on the bootloader mode. It is a rooted device and I've tried flashing the twrp recovery through the command prompt and also through the flashify app. It only works when I try booting in from the flashify app but doesn't work through the bootloader, when trying it through the bootloader i select the recovery and the phone turns off. Anyone have a clue of how I could try to make it work, I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Looks like a system error which can be solved only if you flash the factory image again
which command did yu use "fastboot flash recovery (twrp File name ).img
If it didn't work, flash cwm and then twrp 8.6.0. Maybe it'll work Or flash twrp img while ur in twrp itself. Or download advanced reboot if ur using stock rom.

Like flashing the full firmware? It should work, because something is wrong with ur recovery system.

I have the same problem. Flashed the stock firmware. Then flashed TWRP in fastboot, but whenever i select recovery from the fastboot menu, the phone just shuts off. Only way to get into recovery is by Flashify app too...
