[Q] Boot into recovery without Vol(+) button?

I got my phone a bit damp while skiing and now the + vol button doesn't work. I would like to keep playing around with Roms however the inability to flash an update.zip to boot into clockwork mod worries me too much.
Is there anyway to get into the standard recovery without holding the + and pushing power? Or possibly hard-flash clockwork mod?

---Solved, flashed recovery using unREVoked, works well now. Thanks everyone, back continuous unadulterated flashing---

Well, ROM manager can boot into recovery, but obviously that requires a working ROM.
Regards,
Dave

Install ROM Manager from the Marketplace, use the custom clockwork recovery image in my sig (fake flash). You can then install the custom recovery image from the root of your sd card using ROM Manager. To flash ROMs in the future, in ROM Manager, select the 'Install ROM from sd card option'. You can then use the trackpad to navigate through the recovery menu options instead of the Vol key.

Yeah I know I can get there from Clockworkmod, but the rom needs to be working. I'm worried about flashing anything else in case one of the roms is broken.
I've read that unrevoked rooted phones can do it, can I use the unrevoked method even though I'm already rooted with Paul's riskfree?

If you turn on your phone while pressing the "Back"button on the right of the (OJ)optical joystick, your phone boots in "Fastboot"
Then you select "Bootloader" by pressing the powerbutton
If one of your vol buttons still works, you can press it untill you've selected recovery
Et Voila

I can get to the recovery screen, black phone with red exclamation mark in triangle. It is at this screen I need the vol(+) button. Hmmm...not too confident about flashing roms anymore

Use UnrEVOked to permanently flash a recovery image onto your phone.

Dave

From terminal
su
reboot recovery
Also works

Where to from here?
I have been reading up on fastboot, in which I should be able to restore a nandroid backup if flashing a rom fails. This doesn't need the recovery console, there is some contingency I guess.
Has anyone used unrevoked on a prerooted device? are the steps the same?

For instructions for flashing a permanent recovery image (UnrEVOked) are pretty straightforward. Please see the following link for more information:

Just make sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled beforehand. To remove UnrEVOked, simply flash your original RUU file, which will also return you to stock and remove root.

[Q] EVO ROM Manager help

My EVO is running 2.2 and rooted (quickboot works and I have superuser)
I download a ROM with Rom Manager, I tell it to backup and wipe. then boot.
the EVO come up with 4 options: Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down.
and just sit there, NOW WHAT!!!
(a power down and then back on returns me to what i had before.)

You're in the bootloader screen. It's white, click on bootloader and it should take u a screen that says recovery, fastboot etc. You can do a nandroid backup manually and install the rom manually as well...which i recommend to do because clockworkmod is known to not wipe properly. And u posted in the wrong section

thanks for replying.
hitting the power button on bootloaded will return me to the same four options

That's only happened to me when I had a ROM that didn't load. From the white screen click the "recovery" option and try to load your ROM from there.

thanks for help.
When I do a Volume/power on and hit power at recovery my options are Bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down

If I'm not mistaken I think its doing that because the recovery was not flashed correctly. Try going back to "Rom Manager" and choose the "Flash Recovery" option and then try to load your rom. That same issue happened to me and that solved the problem.

Thanks for replying.
that did it > Fixed
thanks again

Thanks that solved it, thanks again.

Need help, phone is rooted and can boot into recovery, but cannot do anything there

Rooted my friends incredible with unrevoked, have S-off, and can boot into recovery, but once there when I try to select any of the options in CWM it just comes up with the hat logo (rom manager logo) and stay there, I can go back to the CWM menu, but can't do anything, so end up having to do a battery pull, I have tried different recoveries and version of CWM... any advice? Thanks!

What button are you using to select an item in recovery? If you hit the power button it will come up with that logo screen, you should click the trackball to select an item. My only other sugestion would be to flash amon ra recovery instead of cwm. Also if you are flashing your recoveries with rom manager try flashing one thru hboot instead.

I was using the power button! Thank you!!!!!

No problem also pressing the power button a second time will bring you back to the menu from that screen, no battery pull needed.

I make that mistake ALL the time with the dInc. I'm so used to using the buttons with my Tbolt I don't even think about it...... until I look down and the phone is looking back at me like "Hey... Idiot... I can stay on this blank screen ALL DAY long!"

[Q] Can not boot into recovery - Cyanogenmod 10.1 and Desire

Hello,
I installed a new ROM last night - CyanogenMod 101 - CyanoMod007 v16
Everything is working great. Except I am not sure how to rebood into recovery mode so that I can make a nandroid backup. I used to just hold down the power button and then would have that option (was using Leedroid before).
Any ideas on how to get into recovery???
Thank you very much!

ok go here (if u want) and download 4ext recovery updater app, install it then flash 4ext recovery using the app. 4ext is waaaay ahead and much better than cwm.

Booting into recovery, boot loader, etc are hidden initially in cm10.1 ROMs. You can activate these by going to settings.....developer settings.....check advanced reboot.

Dude, this guy didn't know that he was in recovery all the time he flashed the ROM, why you so serious I can't stop laughing at that

I can help you!
Go into "About Device" and click 7 times on the "Build Number". Now, you will have "Developer Options". So, go back and click on "Developer Options". Now scroll down and click on "Advanced Boot". Once you have switched it on, click on your power button. Now, click on "Reboot" and select "Recovery". Now you will have booted into your Revovery!! Hoped this helped you!

it doesn't come with a "custom recovery (like CWM or TWRP" by default, the only recovery is to factory reset
for that you'd have to root (And possibly S-Off) your phone.

that is not a custom recovery that is stock recovery where it just gives the phone a factory reset. you can root your phone with rumrunner with that hboot! after that you can install a recovery!

Thanks man. But I can't find any option for update from sdcard? Do I have to install custom recovery to apply update from sdcard.

on the M7, the "SDcard" refers to the internal storage that's mounted at "/sdcard"

Hboot doesnt know that, so it cant mount it. its looking for an external sdcard. when it returns as no then it skips.
