Recovery problem

I flashed the bugless beast v0.4 rom earlier. But for a couple days now have had trouble getting device to stay in recovery which I'm using clockworkmod. It reboots after a couple seconds of entering recovery by its self. Now I can't get it to stay at all. I'm trying to install the black glass theme. Any ideas?

I have a similar problem with Milestone, i flashed the Got sbd and used their mod of Open recovery, i used it (put Got theme, root, busybox and maybe one or two more things) I got back in Got's Open recovery 1 or 2 more times but since i can't i've got the Warning but never the recovery itself, i put a new one (new version) but same thing. The Got sbf works well but get back again in recovery stay a mistery, i search for a clue in google but i feel like i'm the only one with that problem

Yeah I know, the problem with Droid is it doesn't mount the sdcard when I enter recovery so it aborts and reboots. I've reflashed but when I pull the battery after it fails recovery then put it back in and try again it works some times but I may have to do it a couple times to work. Can't seem to figure it out. Also I've tried sprecovery and I think its the same thing but it doesn't reboot it just wont let me do some things in sprecovery like make a backup or flash a rom. Scratching my head here.

Ok, so you've got the recovey list then? I don't. It's stay on the warning screen. I think the last thing i've done before i can't get it back is to use app2sd (the choise witch make the app2sd partition (I put 2 Go i think) maybe that's the my problem.

Maybe you might have to try rrflashing recovery. I'm not sure other wise like the Droid there might be a couple buttons to hit to enter recovery. I know before I rooted when I want to enter recovery, I have to hold power and the x button on power up and when on warning screen I hold volume up and camera button. I don't know if the same appliese to you after rooting where you don't need second set of buttons. But I do know recovery.img. isn't flashed or stored on sdcard. So when it's flash recovery your flashing the file on the phones internal storage. You probably know this but that being said unless you have a bad recovery flash or recovery.img isn't present on phone hard drive. It should work. or atleast I think it should. Some devices have trouble mounting the sdcard when entering recovery, I don't know if that's what happens if your doesn't. All I can suggest is trying to flash an alternative recovery system and if it work try reflashing the one you use now. When mine wont work I flash sprecovery and flash back to clockworkmod and it work some times. Other wise I pull the battery for 2 minutes and try again. Usually have luck with one of those. Sorry if this don't help you if you've tried.

Thanks for the help i manage to enter recovery this way : after the warning screen : i let all buttons then i hold Volume UP and then push camera button
Next step : enter GOT's Openrecovery instead ^^

No problem. Glad to help. Just surprised because usually after installing custom recovery you don't need second set of buttons to hold down. I learn something new every day.

Of course still having trouble with mine but realized after flashing alternate recovery from terminal emulator and then going back to clockworkmod. It seems easier. Just wish I could figure out why sdcard doesn't mount in recovery.

[Q] Recovery boot problem

First off, I'm very sorry as I know by now you are mostly sick of noobs but I tried to figure out what I'm doing wrong on my own and am just stuck.
So here it goes:
I rooted my DROID 2.2.1 with superone click. Did everything I've read to do and tried to install bugless beast ROM. Tried to boot into recovery but I got the triangle exclamation point screen on reboot. Tried to install the ROM via ROM manager and the same thing happened. I was then able to get to clockwork recovery through ROM manager somehow and installed the ROM. At this point, I got the startup screen for bugless beast and it just looped. I restored back to Froyo and cannot get back to recovery boot because that $#%% screen with the triangle exclamation is killing me.
What should I do now? Or am I just too noob at this and should go back to the Matrix lifestyle of "ignorance is bliss" by unrooting?
Thanks again.
Matt

prepare to kick yourself in the head ^^
- the "triangle exclamation" pictures is EXACTLY the point where you can enter Recovery.
here´s how: press "volumeUP" and the "camera" button at the same time.
then navigate through the recovery (if you have a custom recovery installed, you´ll need to choose "apply update.zip" to load the custom/open recovery on the first screen) using your D-Pad.

Thank you for the button combo to get where I need to go. Now does anyone know why when I load a ROM, the start up screen just loops forever? I have tried loading cyanogen6 and bugless beast now both with the same issue.

nevermind...I'm stupid. Sorry. Needed to wipe data. But how do I get all my data back? If I restore data through nandroid then I just get boot loops again.

I haven't used rom manager before.
So i would recommend you to use open recovery to do flashing or rooting.
Have u flash a vulnerable recovery sbf ??
If yes, you can go to recovery mode and select "apply update".
Then the open recovery is applied.
By using OR, you can root phone and apply any updates you want.

[Q] No functional recovery image... now what.

Ok, so after using clockwork rom manager on my nook color and seeing how convenient it was, I thought, "hey maybe this would be good on my milestone." WRONG. I flashed the clockwork recovery (they even had an option for milestone) and when I rebooted into recovery from the software (either in rom manager or the reboot power option) it just rebooted straight into android. When I held the power and camera keys, it just took me to bootloader.
Under rom manager, there was also an option to flash the RA recovery, but that didn't seem to help (exact same behavior as clockwork recovery).
I'm currently running the CM7 mod and prior to this fiasco, I was using RA 1.7 (pretty sure). edit: RA 1.7 was my girlfriend's HTCmagic, I just remembered that I would have had some version of openrecovery on this phone.
So, I guess my question is, what are my next steps here? I'd really like to stop flying without a recovery. My only shred of an idea was to flash a stock image from rsdlite and set my milestone all the way back to stock and then reroot and re everything, but if someone has a better idea, I'd be very open to that as my plan seems like a big hassle.

A) not really the place for this post but anywa
B) you should beable to just flash the Vulnerable recovery http://android.doshaska.net/rootable then you can install a recovery from this forum thats for our phone!

Apologies, I didn't mean to step on any toes. Could a mod please recategorize this thread.
I will check out that link and report back if I need further assistance. Although, if that's a surefire way to fix my problem, I should be fine. Thank you for your fast (and succinctly informative) reply.

Well, the good news is, that I flashed the vulnerable recovery and I'm able to boot into recovery. The bad news is, it only lasts for a few seconds. I see the standard recovery icon and then a bar fills up and then my phone reboots into android. From what you said, I take it that there's another step in here where I take another file from the forums and then install that as well. Is that just through RSD lite then?

Ok so you need to take an open recovery for example http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1091787 and extract it to the root of your sdcard so you have a update.zip file and openrecovery folder.
Then boot into recovery and press the volume up and camera button and a menu should come up.
Then select the 'flash update.zip' and this should 'boot' you into the custom recovery, sadly because of the looked bootloader we must do this everytime we wish to boot into recovery

Okay, I have that file, or one similar, from when I originally had started using custom roms (and updated/changed them etc.).
The problem is that before, when I'd go into recovery, it would have the icon of the phone out of the box with the exclamation mark or whatever, and it would stay there indefinitely.
Now, it only stays for a few seconds before rebooting into android. A little bar appears, fills up, then reboot. Doing the volume up + camera combo only serves to expedite this process (i.e. reboots as soon as I press it).

what your doing (power + camera) is meant to put you into the bootloader mode... to get into recovery, hold 'x' on the physical keyboard and then hold the power button. This will get you into recovery. Hope this helps.
~D

are you sure that you did in fact flash the vulnerable bootloader, and not a newer, non-vulnerable one? sounds like that.. exploit fails, system reboots. also, if you are running an original rom right now, it does check the bootloader every reboot and flashes the non-vulnerable one!

I'm a bit confused with how you're getting into Recovery mode, but the way to enter recovery is to hold Power + X, then Camera + Vol Up when you see the Motorola Logo.

I'm getting into recovery the same way I always have Power+camera then volumeup+camera. Power+DpadUp is how I've been getting into bootloader. Power+X actually yields nothing, just a regular boot.
Unless the file hosted on the site that was linked earlier in the thread is a newer, nonvulnerable recovery then, yes, I'm sure I flashed vulnerable recovery. I'm going to attempt to flash again. Just to see if maybe that's the issue.
I'm pretty sure I'm seeing it at least attempt to enter recovery, which is a step up from before (before being that it just went to bootloader). Because I'm seeing the image that displays in the recovery menu, but then it brings up a progress bar (which I never saw before) and when that fills up (in about 2.5 seconds), that's it. Reboot.
Thanks everyone, for all the help though.
EDIT: Despite RSD lite saying that the process as a success, the reflash did nothing.

Where did you get the VR sbf? android.doshaska.net/rootable ?

Yep, that's the one.
EDIT: Finally got up the guts to load the official Telus sbf into RSD lite and pull the trigger. It seems like this is probably beyond salvage now. Once again, many thanks to everyone, and if all goes well, I hope to only be in the ranks of the unrooted/unmodded for a few minutes.
EDIT the second: Okay, so flash to stock went perfectly. Everything works, including recovery, but not openrecovery. I can get to the menu to flash the .zip, but it fails the esignature check. Which I'm assuming points to Vulnerable recovery not flashing correctly or perhaps my file is corrupt, or maybe something more exotic and exciting. I flashed SHOLS_U2_03.11.0 if that's relevant.

For those interested, everything is up and functional again.
I had to first flash back to stock, then flash the vulnerable recovery located at http://modmymobile.com/forums/downloads.php?do=file&id=28089 , then the standard, boot to recovery, blah blah blah, install a new rom.
Let this be a lesson to the rest of you; Clockwork Rom Manager does not, I repeat, does NOT seem to work on our milestones. Which is a real shame...
I realize this is a double post, but I'm just so darned jubilant to be able to update my rom again.

i think i messed up my droid 3

Then ROM Manager is clearly the issue. That link gets you to box stock software. I'm not a fan of RM because I feel that unless 110% understood, it can cause way more headaches than it fixes. What do you use it for? What changes did you make after flashing to stock?

used rom manager to change battery icon 3g icon signal icon and the notification bar backround

I don't think that MavROM is compatible with Rom Manager tweaks. I believe that they only work with CM based ROMs. Try reflashing to stock, rerooting, and reROMing it. Don't make the changes and see if the issues persist.

i tried reflashing to stock like 10 times and it never fully goes back to stock

How about going to cwm through odin and deleting your catch data and your delv catch. I had the same issue when reverting back to stock ( it wasnt fully there) but when i erased all the data and delv catch it reverted to the stock rom properly. Just a thought

Well, the previous is strange, because I've used that to recover from all different causes of bricks and bootloops and reboots and etc. All took me back to box stock software...
Anyways, I would flash back to stock-ish with it, re-root, install CWM, boot into recovery, and then wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik cache.
Using X + Power then VOL Up + Down, you can get into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. This puzzles me though, because that quick SBF wipes data, system, and cache.
Just for my curiosity, what ISN'T stock after the quick unbrick method?

Are you sure you have the latest drivers installed? Head over to that thread one more time, re-download the quick unbrick, boot up with M + Power, select AP Fastboot, open the shortcut for "CLICK HERE - Something something something", allow it to go through it's 20 or so lines of actions, and when it says to press any key to exit, do so. Now just let the phone sit there while still plugged in (IIRC, this is what I did last time). If this all fails to return you to stock settings... 1. I'll be surprised 2. I'll nand backup mine and make a video for you of quick unbricking mine and everything it does.
If it does work, please don't change things in ROM Manager, IIRC, those tweaks are only for CM based ROMs, and not Mav.

[Q] Bricked Thrill

A couple weeks ago, I upgraded the ClockworkMod Recovery on my Thrill. A few hours ago, I attempted booting into recovery mode. My phone is now stuck attempting to boot into recovery. It's stuck at the LG boot logo and will not progress to recovery or even into the boot animation for a normal boot. I have tried holding the VolDown+3D to manually boot into recovery, I have tried turning it off and back on, I have tried removing the battery for a few minutes, I've tried removing the battery and SIM card for several minutes and there is no change in status.
I'm using an LG Thrill on a stock GB ROM and the latest ClockworkMod Recovery, installed by latest version of ROM Manager (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=en)
If any more info is needed, let me know. The computer I'm using is a Macbook Pro.

Try this. Take out the battery, while the battery is out hold down the 3d button, the volume down button and power button. "While" these 3 buttons are pressed insert the battery. You should see the lg logo flash on for a second or two than off. From this point leave the battery in and try to boot into recovery with the three buttons. (It may boot into recovery right away after you reinsert the battery)
