[solved] Unable to boot to recovery

For the last year I have been able to boot to recovery no problem. About a week ago it stopped booting to recovery. Holding home + power brings me to the g1 endless loop. The weird part is it will load any recovery right after I flash it via adb or terminal. I have tried out all the recovery images out there and they all are the same, I have to flash it before I can boot to it and it will only boot once, after reset I have to flash again to get back into it. The same goes for cm updater. I download the update, apply it, phone resets, g1 boot screen infinity... I am an advanced script kiddy and I can't find a solution anywhere any ideas on how to deal with this? Would a log help?
Thanks!

did you try to flash a new recovery.img?
^^
Every time I want to boot to recovery I have to flash. It does not matter what recovery.img I flash (RA, CM, etc..) I stil have to do it every time if I want to boot to recovery. If I reboot the phone or power off cycle more then once I lose the ability to boot to the recovery rom. Its as if it disapears after rebooting or shut down...
Solved...
I wiped and reinstalled cm's latest build. Works fine now. I'm guessing I have to wipe from now on I was really hoping I don't have to.
Thanks

When you say you mounted the the sdcard on your phone did you do it in recovery using the command "ums_enable" or did you reboot the phone so you could do it from the Android OS, if you allowed the phone to fully reboot it will overwrite your custom recovery with the stock recovery image

after i flashed the recovery and what not.
i turned my phone off home and power got me to recovery
so i restarted my phone and put the rom on the sdcard from my computer.
so thats the wrong way to do it?
so i should it in recovery from now on?
Once you flash your recovery, don't allow your phone to fully reboot or the stock recovery will overwrite the custom recovery you just installed
So make sure all the zip files you are going to need are already on you're sd card when you reboot to recovery

This has been talked about. You gotta flash a new recovery thru fastboot.

Booting into recovery

Ok so I rooted my nexus and loaded cyanogenmod rc3. I never had a problem getting into recovery mode before. However, when I try to boot into recovery it just stays stuck on the X screen. I've let it sit for 10 minutes and still it stays stuck. I've tried to reload rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery and still it doesn't work. I've searched this forum and googled it and tried everything thats been said to do. Still no go. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Thanks in advance.
Have you tried fastboot flash recovery. Its best to do it through fast boot and also you should give amon recovery a try if it still wont work
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yeah I tried getting into recovery through fastboot and still it just hangs on the X screen. Think I'm gonna have to try the amon recovery and see if that works. Thanks.

Boot hangs after flash, help please.

First I downgraded to 1.0 then upgraded to 1.5. Then I used FlashRec and applied Amon Ra's Recovery Image, rebooted to the SPL, then applied cyanogen 6.1.0 then the gapps file. After rebooting I get to the "G1" splash screen, it... stops... It's been on this screen for 20 minutes. I tried the guide here verbatim first but, alas nothing. How did I screw up this time?
