Has anyone not been able to boot into recovery mode on their phone. When I go into ROM manager and try to change ROMS or something it just turns off?
Probably the obvious answer, but have you tried reflashing a recovery?
Yeah If that's when you press the home button, down on the volume and on button at the same time.

no, reflashing, throught Rom Manager or ADB.
I personally think RM is the devil, it does all the stuff for you so when you run into this problem you crap your pants. Do you have adb and sdk goodies?
I am downloading them right now.

cool, then once you get it all set up and made sure, it recognizes it, place the recovery.img of your choice to the root of your sd card,
then type in a command prompt
adb shell
# <--- (should get that)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/(file name).img
Ok I have downloaded and Installed Android SDK , Java RE, Java RE JDK. Is there anything else I would need to access the device through SDK?

lol well you only needed the sdk, those other javas are for developing and other such things. but no problem with being overly prepared. but thats all you need.
just follow these steps, http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Hey coffehandle Thanks for the tips.
I read up on that link you posted, and entered some commands that were posted to and it said, that there's not enough space on the phone. Then after doing som3 research I found out that somehow I had deleted the recovery image binary . Installed that fixed all the issues.
Flashed RockSteady ROM its pretty good. Over clocked to 700mhz. ADW launcher. Right now I'm playing Angry Birds Rio. Thanks to all the people at Xda.

im having some serious issues with my SU.
i tried temporizer's fix with no help.
it started a while ago when i flashed a theme and i could never get it back.
Ive tried EVERYTHING (to my knowledge which is definitely not vast lol) to no avail. and from what temp and a couple others have told me its a problem with cyan recovery 1.3, but now i cant flash to 1.4. im stuck with no SU, no way to flash a new recovery and pretty much half ass phone. ive never had this type of problem since i rooted back in januaryish. any help would be much appreciated.

Download cyan's recovery 1.4 to your sdk tools folder, start the phone in fastboot mode [back+power] folder and run:
Code:
fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
That should boot the recovery image and you can work from there to reflash whatever you want.
sdk tools folder? and that would beeeeeeee?
apparently im not as savvy as i once thought..... lol

Errr... you don't have the sdk?
You don't use adb...?!
That's like trying to play football with no limbs..
Get yourself rigged up with this:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/installing.html
btw.. you won't need to set up eclipse or the adt plugin for this, just make sure your environment variables and java paths are set up as per the guide.
well while football WITH limbs does sound much less entertaining, i am normally no where near a computer, and do almost everything right from my phone.... and i mean everything..... i download all my roms, themes, etc. right to my download folder, find em', rename em' flash em' and im good to go. i went on a computer to get the recovery simply because it downloads wrong on my phone and saves as a text file, seems like it does the same on mozilla for some people but i got it in .img form and its on the root of my card, and nothing.

I do a lot of stuff from my phone too tbh, Somehow it satisfies my geek cravings more fully.. But adb is massively useful when you're on the pc.. saves a lot of cramped typing on the device keyboard.
Fastboot will be your saviour in this case though, and you're gonna need a proper box to run that on.
i have NO idea what im doing with adb, i just downloaded it and im just starign at my screen like it tried to feed me a cheeseburger.....

lol.. adb is pretty simple.. a few examples:
Code:
adb push localpath devicepath # push files to your phone eg: adb push c:\update.zip /sdcard
adb pull devicepath localpath # pull files from device
adb shell # basically a terminal running on your device that you control from your pc.. im sure you can figure this out if you do everything from your phone.
adb shell reboot # guess?
adb shell reboot recovery # go straight to recovery without holding any buttons
fastboot should be in the same folder as adb.. you can use it to flash .img files from the pc or just boot the images without flashing them.
how do i run fastboot, adb, etc. in relation to them running processes on my phone.
i downloaded everything. i just dont know how to run it or if i have to run a couple things, have my phone in recovery or fastboot(im guessing).
god. i feel like a moron.

Assuming you're on windows, you'll have to install the adb driver first (not the standard android that windows installs automatically, theres a seperate driver in the usb_driver folder of the sdk). You also need to enable usb debugging on your phone.
Follow this guide if you need to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
You can use adb whatever mode your phone is in.. even when its stuck in a bootloop usually. You don't need to be running anything on the phone, the drivers are switched on by init.rc.
Fastboot can only be run with the phone in fastboot mode (surpisingly).
thanka alot man. im gonna give this all a try.
Good luck
ok. got adb running. ran the command you gave me. it brings up 1.4 but doesnt push it to my phone...... can i actually INSTALL 1.4 from fastboot/adb?
nevermind. figured it out. used common sense and just ran fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it worked. thanks for everything
my super user still wont work.; so apparently it had nothing to do with the recovery..... im going to wipe, reflash cyan 3.9.1. and see if that works.
Just like the title suggests, I need help. I have been working on this for three days and have not accomplished anything.
I have been rooted for six months, flashed many roms, kernels, enabled apps2sd, etc.., etc.., but I do not know how it all works(just to give you a little FYI).
"I do not have a recovery screen anymore." At first I just wasn't able to push a new one, it would tell me "usage flash_image partition.img" or something very similar. I searched for that phrase and found something with it in the G1 forums, tried it(probably should have asked first), and now I don't even have a recovery image. Like I said I've tried almost everything and it may be simple but this is beyond me, someone please help.

what happens when you hold home then press the power button? Is there any sort of screen if you get a screen you need to install android sdk and flash a new recovery image using adb

Yes there is a screen, it's the green HTC w/ white background. It will just sit there forever. I am at work right now so I can't do it yet but when I get home I'll try it, hopefully that works.
BTW, from my phone I can't tell if you have a donate button. I was serious about that.

Try downloading the RUU and then re-rooting your phone. It will be wiped clean from the RUU install then you'll be able to push a new recovery img over. If you don't want to do that my other suggestion is if you can't manually flash the recovery try downloading RomManager from the market and using that to flash a recovery.
As far as why you can't flash a recovery where are you placing the recovery.img when you try? are you doing it from your computer or from your sdcard using a terminal emulator? If its from your computer make sure that the recovery.img is in the tools folder and make sure you type it word for word (caps included) if your trying to do it from the terminal emulator and its on your sdcard the same applies as it must be letter for letter and word for word, but before you can type anything you have to gain root access in the terminal you do this by simply typing su and then enter. SuperUser Permissions will ask you if its ok to use root click ok then type in what you need to.
Since you said you've been trying to flash it I assume you know what to type but if you need it again just ask I'll post it up for you. Hope this helps.
Here's something I wrote a few days ago to help someone who was trying to flash a custom recovery might be helpful.
Flashing a custom recovery is pretty easy there is a couple of ways to do it some find it easier to do by putting it on the sd card and flashing it through a terminal emulator or if you have your htc sync and adb set up already you can throw it on your sd card and type this
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
You should see this below
Code:
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
#
Reboot into recovery and you should be all set to go. The other way by using the terminal emulator you'll just type in this in:
Code:
su
Accept Root access request from SuperUser Permissions then type:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
You should see the same output to know you did it correctly. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone i think i messed up in the process of flashing a new rom on to my captivate the way i did this was i used 1 click root to root the phone and then used rom manager to boot into clockwork and from there installed from sd the zip of the rom i wanted wich was Cognition v2.2 BETA9 it apeared everything went well up untill the phone rebooted i then was greeted with a looping recovery boot ive tried the button combos to get into download mode but none seem to work is there anything anyone thinks i should try? thank you anyone with help

there is already plenty of info on this. read the last 5-10 pages of the thread and you will see that you installed the rom WRONG
you need to find a way to get into download mode and restore it to stock......then before you flash something, read.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section if there is a mod feel free to move this I have previously read everything you gave me and i am unable to get into download mode but i am a little confused on the adb process can you help me through this i open a cmd promp and type in adb shell and it just says something about it being an unknown command am i missing a step?

Yeah that thread has everything you need to know. It's important to check and make sure you can enter download mode via the button combo method before you start flashing away.
Also, you really must do a backup of your current rom before you flash a new one. Had you done that, you wouldn't be sitting where you are right now.
Having said that, you will read in the thread that Pirateghost linked that, assuming you have the sdk and have installed the proper drivers, you need to navigate to the \tools directory within the sdk in order to run adb. Once you are in the proper directory, just type:
adb shell
(dollar sign should appear here)
adb reboot download
and it should reboot into download mode.
There really should be a warning not to flash Cog b9 from 2.1 with clockwork. I don't think I've heard of a single report of that working.
There after two "modes" your phone can be put into...
1. Download mode:
Done by having your phone off and then quickly turning it on and holding down JUST the up and down volume controls while having the usb already plugged in (easist I've found is stated above regarding taking the battery out, plug in usb, hold both volume buttons, then while holding them put battery back in)
2. Recovery mode:
Done by holding both up and down volume buttons AND the power button.
I had the same problem as well.
Howdy, not a noob to android, have an Evo, experienced user, but rooted my friend's hero with the 1 click method here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743289 And it says he's rooted, but when he tries to go into recovery it didn't load, and he gets the triangle with ! indicating no recovery. Is there any way to push a recovery without being on a pc?
Terminal Emulator i beleive
Would you know the commands? I'm not with him at the moment...long story.
i beleive just instead of adb you sup su instead, but dont hold me to do it.
cause TE is just basically like adb when your phone is booted and running, so id assume itd be similar commands
Alrighty, I'll try that with him.
Any other input is much welcomed.
Sorry if im not much help but also obviously you push it from your sd card instead of pc
Two easy ways to do it:
1) Grab a recovery, place it on the root of the sd card, and do the following in Terminal Emulator:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/whateverthefilenameis.img
or
2) Grab ROM Manager off the Market, and flash Clockwork from there.
Well I needed to check all my options,a nd it did help.
oh the differences between a junior member and a senior haha thanks stayclean, ill remember this too

umm it sounds like its falling apart haha, did you root correctly and everything? well youre pretty savvy so id suppose so. but thats a lot of mess ups for one thing
Well he does have root, but for some reason the recovery image wasn't flashed. So now getting that part up and running.
which should be easy, cause you have so many options, just having a stroke of bad luck.

You are my ****ing hero! after hours and hours of the flash_image not being found and no help, this has done it for me.
I recently purchased an LG Phoenix by At&t, the problem I have is that I cannot leave ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
I rooted it, restarted in recovery. and everything worked fine. I then upgraded my firmware, not sure what version though.. I backed up my phone before I upgraded into the new firmware. I then backedup my phone because it rebooted into recovery. Now everytime it boots it goes straight to Clockwork and I cant get out of it. I restored to my previous restore and it still doesn't work. What could I do? Should I install cwr 3? I read that cwr 5 has bugs and is known to brick phones..
Edit: Also the phone without the sd card still boots into clockworkmod menu
I have a ROM(Phoenix ULTIMATE) I'd like to flash but I'm not sure if I should right now considering I'm stuck at this menu.
Info- in my restores It says;
2011-10-04.21.37.48/
2011-10-04.21.56.13/
I'v tried both.
Another edit with potentially important info getting an error stating;
E: bad boot message "recovery"
Sorry If this is a n00b post.. I'm in sort of a rush because I'm moving in a few hours!
Edit; tried flashing the phoenix, didnt work.
installation was aborted
said i needed to switch to Edify scripting, and amend scripting is no longer supported.
What could I flash too to fix this, please help. I don't care if I lose data. Just need my phone back soon.
I have android SDK.
I was reading up on http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874 here

THIS:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Seems to be perfect for what I should try, where could I get the stock imgs for my phone? (p505)

Use cmd (best if used with administrative rights) to navigate to the Android SDK folder , then to platform-tools .
Once you get there , connect your phone through USB then don't touch it .

Are you able to try and boot into bootloader? Try that. Also, try and flash a new ROM in recovery, test to see if it may be the ROM. Don't be afraid to backup again, you can always access the backups based on date.

I tried to flash my backups before the firmware update and it didn't work, I also can't find any wp505 roms.. I found a few but they wont help in my situation. Do you know any? My rom is stock as I only rooted and got stuck in cwr.
Thanks!
EDIT: I did do that adb shell, reboot bootloader, didnt work.

First off, not to lecture you...but you definitely should look into these kind of things before flashing a ROM.
I haven't looked at the ROMs so I'm not sure. But whatever fancies you, it's just to troubleshoot the problem. The problem itself may actually be the recovery. Do you know how to do logcats in ADB? Try and do a logcat and boot up your device while connected to ADB.
So go "adb logcat". This should show you exactly what your device is doing. When it runs and goes straight to recovery paste all that information into a .txt document and upload it onto xda so others can take a look.
I'll try and help more tomorrow but I have to get some rest. Good luck on getting this fixed.
