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.

Enter fastboot and try to flash the radio. Use the reboot recovery command in adb shell or from the terminal on the phone to load the recovery console.

Why radio?
@Kepster, you can't enter recovery mode? Power off and enter bootloader mode and then enter recovery mode from there... if u still can't try restoring to a stock ROM and recovery via fastboot... then flash amon ra's recovery and flash CM
Ment recovery, was a bit distracted at the time.
So I put ClockworkMod Recovery 2.0.1.3 on my G1 yesterday with the app ROM Manager v2.0.0.5
I flashed a ROM using the app... No errors, no bootloop, worked fine..
I now press [HOME] + [POWER] and I get stuck at the G1 screen
I type reboot recovery via terminal and I get stuck at the G! screen
I flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img and I get a plethora of errors and last line states I am out of memory ????
I erase_image recovery and I get no errors but nothing happens
I go to recovery flasher and get errors if I try to back up or flash my recovery
I go to ROM Manager to flash a recovery and it wont flash CwM recovery
I dont have adb at the moment bc my comp is tanked... any suggestions?
I had Clockwork and I Flashed KenMood 1.9.3 and last night when I tried to boot into Recovery it would just get stuck on the Splash. When I booted up normally, it would just reboot. Now when I try (after charging overnight) it works fine, but still no recovery image. I tried to flash it using ROM Manager Premium and it shows that the flash was successful but it still won't work. Any ideas on what I can do…? I don't have fastBoot setup correctly btw.
I tweeted koush and this was his reply
koush
@JunkDruggler Use erase_image to erase your recovery and flash another one. Or fastboot flash another one on there. about 1 hour ago via Tweetie for Mac in reply to JunkDruggler
So I opened terminal and kept trying over and over
erase_image recovery
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
I noticed less errors and eventually it worked..
I am now back to my obselete recovery with the console nobody uses anymore..
hey guys i finally finished unlocking the bootloader on my 2.2.1 FRG83D build N1 but i couldnt get recovery.img to push to the N1 through adb.second option was to run "install-superboot-windows" for FRG83D build on bootloader screen from PC,soon as i did that N1 booted to the phone and i checked in the app menus and i have the latest "SUPERUSER" app.i really want to flash custom ROMS now.DO I HAVE RECOVERY or how do i get recovery now cuz i really wanna get started with flashing custom roms.any suggestions would help.thanx
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.

Alright, I give up.
I've wasted one full day and all I do is keep going in circles. I have an unlocked bootloader but I am not able to flash custom recovery to it. When I do:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
it is successful but am having the problem mentioned here:
"Make sure that init.rc isn't calling any install-recovery.sh script, otherwise you'll boot back to stock recovery (exclamation mark with a little Android)."
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10467058&postcount=1638
So, no custom rom because I cant turn off verification in order to flash custom rom zip file. Now the problem is that I can't even fix this problem because I don't have root so I can't delete the following files:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
When I try adb shell it keeps saying "permission denied"
It gets better - I've managed to mess things up royally even further. I tried flashing FRG83 system image using "flashboot update update.zip". It was successful but now my phone is going in boot loop!!
Can someone please help me before I lose hope in humanity?
Recovery is only restored when you boot into system, so the idea is that you flash recovery, and go straight into it via the on phone menu, and then install what you need to...
You can either flash a pre-rooted GB, flash the su.zip and then you'll have su access to delete the files when in system or adb, or flash this zip which will remove the two files...

Can som1 help? thx
Flash it from fastboot. Which I think you did anyways but that is not adb.
Then you must boot directly into recovery. If you boot up the phone it will overnight it with stock. You flash from a computer. Not from SD......

Just help me do an nandroid and wipe cache/dalvik

thx sir!
Again. Put the recovery image in the same directory as fastboot on your computer. Issue the correct exact command. Fastboot flash recovery "put the exact file name here"
Now on your phone which is still in fastboot mode.... pick the recovery option. It is that simple.....

i have mrkd ur post as thx n stuff so that this thread is resolved
If you are on a stock ROM, any custom recovery (like Amon_RA) will be overwritten on every boot with the stock recovery.
To make the custom recovery stick while using a stock ROM, you need to delete (or rename) the following two files:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
... as mentioned in the first post of the Amon_RA recovery thread...

Yeah. Sad thing is, had he actually read the wiki and done what it said, he would have never had to make this thread. Sigh... people will never learn.
