Sounds like you lost your recovery. Did you update to 3.70?

had the same problem
I use rom manager and ran in to the same issue, through rom manager select alternate recovery and install RA. work fine. Then if you like reflash clockwork and it should work.

How Do You Get To Recovery?

So here is the story. I had a stock 3G Slide. I updated to Official 2.2 using HTC Sync/whatever it is called.
I got root using by ADBing PSNeuter then flashing ESPRIMG. So now I am on this
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Build Number 1.18.531.1 CL164069 test-keys

I have CWM's update.zip on my SDCard, my question is how do I boot into recovery to flash this?
I removed the ESPRIMG file from my SDCard after I flashed it successfully and then got into HBoot by Vol Down + PWR, and tried going to recovery but all I see is a phone image with a red triangle and ! in it
Am I missing a step here/am I totally ****ed?

When you see the red triangle, hold up volume and hit the power button. That will take you into recovery and you choose update.zip from there.

That worked. I clicked update.zip and it went into CWM. I went to then backup the current rom and when I go to select it using Power and my screen just turns off. Same thing happens when I go to apply a ROM.

Try selecting by pressing in the trackpad instead of the power button.

Use the camera button, that will work, the power button acts as a back button in CWM.

Did I Brick? Stuck at Android Recovery Screen

Rooted...no issue there.
Installed ROM Manger.
Installed Clockwork Recovery from Rom Manager as I wanted to install a new rom.
Now when I boot, no matter what combination I hold down, it goes to the Android System Recovery screen and in the background is the white triangle, yellow exclamation point and little android guy.
I can move between the three ofered choices but pressing the power button (I assume this is the OK button) does nothing.
Thoughts / help?

If you are using an ACS recovery I am pretty sure you need to go down and up with the volume key untill it enables power button for ok. Also I have heard flashing with rom manager is not the best thing to do.

Another one bites the dust. ROM manager is a no no for our phones. You need to get into download mode and do a restore from sfhubs one click, located here.....

Also check out his auto root package, which will install cwm via simple on screen directions. It is located in his signature. To get to odin mode hold power + down vol. Then press vol up button when prompted. Have he oneclick open already, then plug in device. If shows com, you are good to go. Ensure only pda button is checked. All of these directions are in the post, so just collow them. Good luck. This is the method I use.

If you are using Rom Manger, there's gonna be none who can help you. Rom manager CWM only worked well until GB ROM. Use Rogue Recovery or ODIN one click method (sfhub's) from the download mode.

hm... tried that but it just boots the phone normally.
tried just pressing and holding "BACK" and consecutively pressing "BACK" to no avail.

Have you installed cwm from market then installed into phone.
What I mean is cwm has a 2 stage install 1 install app
2 open app and then click install on to phone.
The shut down menu will not show reboot option. you have to shut down then restart manually when you see sony logo press/spam the back button constantly until cwn loads, if this not work try using down volume button again spam/ pressing continually

make sure that CWM is installed correctly

On xperia Arc S you need to press a few times the VolumeUp and VolumeDown buttons as soon as you see the FreeXperia logo. You'll notice that the led becomes violet when you're entering into recovery mode.

got it working, guys.
downloaded Xperia CWM Auto-Installer from market and worked like a charm.
thanks for all the help.

works great

First you'll need a rooted and CWM supported kernel. Shut down the device. Press the power button and wait. When the boot logo came wait for a little vibration. Then press the Back or Volume Down button several times. There you go. You're in Clock Work Mode Recovery.

SM-T110 Stuck after flashing recovery

Hi there,
everytime I flash CWM 6.0.4.8 and Philz Touch 6.3.0.1 with Odin I'm unable to boot to recovery. I have to flash the stock rom and the the recovery image again to work around this. I wonder if there is any solution to simplify this process as I have a few devices here and it's kinda annoying
(Edit: I see a yellow warning sign after flashing the recovery the first time)
Any ideas?

You acces the recovery by pressing power + volume up.
Maybe this is your mistake ?!

I press volume down, menu + power to get into download mode. After flashing the new recovery I press volume up + menu + power to get into recovery but this fails (doent boot into recovery. getting a warning sign instead).
Strange thing...

Are you sure you are holding the buttons long enough? This may be the problem
if you let go right when the screen turns black and about to reboot this won't work.
try to hold it almost until the recovery sign pops up. Also instead of booting to recovery
right away try powering off and letting it rest, then boot up and into recovery.
PS : Make sure you're flashing a stable version and compatible version of recovery.
