I managed to switch my sd card and now there is no option for boot into recovery anymore ! Please help me !!! When I tried to flash again via fastboot, it said that the image cant be loaded !
How are you trying to get to recovery. Volume - button and push the power button.
OP...you may want to be a bit more detailed.
Why and what are you flashing 'again' using fastboot?
huh!! very confusing post... what boot into recovery option... which ROM are u using and as @SiNJiN76 said... what are you trying to flash "again"???
well, I tried to press the power button and the trackball at the same time, but there is no option to go into recovery
Edit:
My bad guys, my mistake, i press the power and the trackball instead of the volume down button ! Sorry and please forgive my stupidity

I managed to switch from a 4GB class 6 to an 8GB one ! After that, I cant seem to boot into recovery anymore ! I tried to flash the recovery image again but it said that the image couldnt be loaded
Press Volume Down and hold it down while you press Power. Keep Volume Down button held 'til you get the white screen. You'll see recovery...press volume down to select it then power button to enter recovery.

I think @te_quiero_forever_girl meant is it does not enter bootloader with power+trackball...
im trying to wipe my captivate at the moment, booted into the clockwork 3e recovery mode.
vol up down chooses the menu but what button to "Enter" ? Power does not work, thanks

how do i get out of this ? Vol up down buttons work, but no enter button ... home etc... nothing happens.
It's one of the bottom four keys... menu or back
-edit-
Oh, I see the other keys don't work.
When I saw something similar, one of those keys worked for "enter". If no keys work for enter, these are the options I know of:
- Hold up+power to reset
- Hold up+down+power to reset in to recovery
- Hold down+power to reset in to download mode (where you can flash back to stock with odin)
- Pull battery
worked, thanks.

To get to the green recovery mode, make sure you have the install.zip file in the internal sd. Then in regular recovery, click reinstall packages. You may need to press it twice.
If you don't have the install.zip file, boot your phone, download ROM Manager from the market and select the option, Flash ClockWork Recovery.
Once this is installed, each time you go to recovery, it takes you to clockwork recovery mode automatically

if u guys just like to get the phone back to work, it would be the best to just flash a new ROM via ODIN. After that, the phone boots normally.
But I dont know if this is an option!
Hope u are still able to get the phone to downloadmode via 3-Button-Combo?!

In recovery mode, you also can boot system with power-button.

Hello there, i have A853 Milestone with Bootlaoder 90.78
i flashed the file vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78 throgh RSDLite. However when I tried to launch OpenRecovery from Recovery Mode I couldn't get in to the menu. I can get to recovery, the one with the exclamation mark etc but using Volume Up + Camera combination will not bring up a menu.
You must hold power and the "x" button at the same time. That will get you into recovery.
flash the 90.78 VA sbf using rsdlite
hold x during the auto reboot
press vol. up + camera
apply openrevery update zip
you are inside OA now
remember to remove the script if you run OTA before
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
You can load your ROM yeah?
If so, then you can load OR without pressing any buttons

if there is a way that i can load a recovery menu without the need to press Vol up + Camera..
Are you kidding me
The first link in your post pretty much spells it out.
See the list?
It has numbers
Follow the numbers in order from 1, then 2, etc...
Yes you can load recovery without pressing vol up + camera.
Just repeat what you did in the video - after you actually put open recovery on your sd card.

did it.. same load like the video..
maybe you dont understand my problem.. i can reach recovery mode.. i do that by pressing Power On + X and when im in the recovery i dont get the menu the one you get by pressing vol up + camera, cause if i press them nothing happen its the same exclamation markwith the phone..
the thing that i showed you in the video is what happen if i run the script in order to enter the OpenRecovery
Do you have titanium beckup ? maybe you have replace update.zip in you SD card.
replace again AOR in you SD folder an try again.

You only have to hold X.
I think you're shutting it off when hold power+x heh
If you ran the "Install Open Recovery at Boot" script, then you won't need to use the vol+camera button either.
you can power-on, hold x until the M shows up and recovery loads

ohh now i understand.. still i did it and it does the same thing like the video i uploaded.. it looks like it trying to install the AOR but in like 1 sec it crashes and reboot..
what the hell is wrong with this milestone?
last week i did it to another stone and no problem what so ever...
So AOR is installed on the sd card and update.zip is in the root of the sd card, right?
If that's the case, the SD card is probably fubarred and probably needs formatting.

I initially intalled CM7 after cleaning cache and Dalvik and backing up my current ROM using Clockwork. it went good unitil after booting I accidentally installed Gapps from 6.1
Now it boots and loops from the blue CM7 screen to the green andriod asking ' Touch to Start '
I dont know how to get out of this loop or to go bak to recovery manual mode. Please Help. Any chance we can fix this
Thanks
Pull your battery to get out of the bootloop. Then press and hold home while pressing the power button. That should take you to your recovery, where you can wipe and reinstall CM7.

EDIT: I am late to the party, nvm.
I did what you said. When i press power and home button the only menu option i get is 'Clear Storage' to which i pressed yes and 'Menu reset' which i pressed yes. it reboots and back to the loop. Back to loading CM7 and 'touch to begin'
The party is still on. As said installed CM7 with Gapps for CM6 accidentally and now stuck in endless bootloop. Trying to fix it. First suggestion hasnt worked so far
OK so you don't have a recovery (I'm guessing you tried to use rom manager = bad idea). Do you have ADB?
I think I do but have never used it ir dont know how
Is there any hope of recovering the phone or is it just better to get a replacement from Sprint

You need to pull the battery, press volume down + end button (at same time) in order to get to the bootloader. You should then see the skateboarding androids. Press the home button to get into recovery and wipe/format boot, system, data, cache (just to be sure) and then reflash and flash the right gapps.

I doubt sprint would even look at it, let alone fix it or replace it, once they see that you rooted.
Also, I've flashed older gapps with cm7 and didn't get loops. My guess? You forgot to data wipe before installing cm7.

Thank you so much. That finally got me into reboot. Now waiting for reboot with fingers crossed Thank you
Well something went wrong and for all you guys out there with Sprint. They did replace my phone. All i had to do was call and tell them that I was at their Service center to fix the phone and those guys couldnt fix it and it is stuck on the boot screen. But i think i will manage to salvage this before my replacement arrives
Lessons Learned
So the big lesson here is when you need to get into recovery press the volume down and the home button simultaneously and your home free. Thanks to all who helped
Update - Issue Solved
So i did mange to get into recovery and wipe everything off and reinstall cm7 again. Now i hope to flash the right gapps and ill be in gingerbread heaven

If you have a sprint hero, that is actually not correct.
hold home and press power = recovery
hold vol down and press power = bootloader
I don't know what's up with your phone, and I'm glad you fixed it, but if I were you I would reflash a good recovery image just to be safe. Also, make sure when you're getting ROMs you get them from a thread in hero cdma and use the gapps also linked in the OP of that same thread (don't use rom manager IMO). Always flash from recovery and follow the correct steps, that way you should not run into "issues" again. Also, my best encouragement for you, is to search and read. Happy flashing
If you have big fingers, pressing the power button can sometimes press the search button or back button, often causing you to boot into bootloader instead of recover.

Ha. I actually place the phone on a flat surface a press the buttons.

Hold down the HOME button and then hold the POWER/END CALL button til the phone screen comes on and that should boot you right into recovery if you're having problems with the volume down method
