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.
Regards,
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:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146
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.

Im fully rooted, and I was able to flash to Fresh's rom. I guess not deleting the Pc36*** file, when it rebooted, i panicked (lol) and reinstalled the stock rom...
Now I have absolutely no idea how to get back to the green recovery screen where I can flash from zip...
Is it me, is it a adb thing?
Any help is greatly appreciated....
if you have a custom recovery: power the phone off, hold volume down and then press the power button. Continue to hold volume down. Make sure the pc img is off the sd card, wait for it to go through the motions then enter recovery

Where do i go from here partner?
yeah, so try doing what I said above. Turn off phone, hold volume down, press power and release and continue holding down. You will get to hboot and it will scan for the pcimg and should not find it and present you with a menu. Go to recovery and that should be it

I did so, and its just sitting idle with the phone & red triangle. My only option from here is vol up and power to take me to the blue reboot screen...

hmmm, I would have thought you would have a custom recovery from Part II of toast's rooting guide. Have you unlocked your nand through that procedure?
in any case, you can always download rom manager from the market, and that will allow you to install a custom recovery and boot into recovery from android. I am not sure if the new version requires nand unlock so make sure you have done part II of toasts root guide

I was able to flash from the green recovery screen tho. Im not understanding this. I even updated the radio and wimax thru the same green screen...
Thanks for your help..
how were you flashing before? did you use clockwork recovery (i think thats what it's called) through rom manager?
I dont think that I have clockwork on my phone. I was able to vol dwn/power, hboot would see the PC36*** because I was not informed to delete it, and instead of updating i selected NO, and it took me to the green recovery screen...
Ok, so I would try flashing the recovery from the second part of Toast's rooting guide. If you can do that, then you can just use the volume + power thing to get to hboot, then select recovery and it should take you into the recovery that you flashed. From that recovery you can wipe flash backup, and all that good stuff.
you dont need to do the whole part 2 over, just the part about flashing the custom recovery.
I am on CM6 Nightlies and I flashed the Gala S Theme. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. Is there a way to nandroid restore without a computer?
Thanks.
This is what I can do with my phone to get into recovery on the fly
Assuming you are fully rooted with Nand Unlocked (Toast Part 1 & Part 2 or the equivalent using simple root)....
1. Turn your phone off
2. Hold the volume down button, then press and hold power
3. A white screen will pop up, wait for it to finish, then navigate to recovery using the volume down button and press the power button.
4. You are in recovery!
This works on my phone, if you get the Android with an exclamation point after clicking recovery from the white bootloader screen, I am almost positive you will need a computer.

ohh, i guess i'll be needing a computer since i got the red exclamation inside the triangle, right?
thanks for the reply.
If you are fully rooted then the easiest and fastest way to get to recovery is via Rom Manager, there is an option to boot right into recovery. This takes the less amount of time. Once in recovery there will be ab option for Nandroid then the back and restore option...

He's in a bootloop...rom manager isn't available.
Have you tried pressing volume up and power at the red exclaimation point? In the older versions of Clockwork Recovery, that was required to get it to load. (Which recovery were you using to get the nandroid in the first place?)

you can run the older method of recovery from when before we could flash nand, i dont have the link, but a search should turn it up.

I have recently rooted my Desire using the GoldCard/Tiny Core Linux CD method and then I installed ROM Manager.
I have used the ROM Manager to flash the ClockworkMod recovery and I can enter the Clockworkmod recovery by using the 'Reboot into recovery' button inside ROM Manager.
However, before trying any new ROMs out I want to make sure I can get into ClockworkMod recovery outside of the ROM Manager but I can't!
When I turn my phone on whilst pressing VolDown I get to the original HTC HBOOT screen. If I then go and select the 'RECOVERY' option I end up at a 'red exclamation mark inside triangle' screen.
Can anyone help me work out what is wrong, please?
TIA
Once you are in the black screen with the red triangle and exclamation mark you have to push volume up and power. Then you should get a blue menu that the second line says something like "flash update.zip". You push volume down to select it and power.
Now you should be loading Clockwork Mod Recovery.
you have not really "flashed" clockwork as a permanent recovery
press vol up + power when at the red triangle screen
then in the standard recovery, choose the option to flash update.zip
[edit] too slow
If you press power and vol up when on the red exclamation mark screen, it should give you a menu.
Press flash update.zip and clockworkmod should load.

Can you not use unrevoked to make it perminant?
Thats what I did when I rooted on Wednesday
Or can only certain phones do this?
Thanks for all the quick replies!
I have got it now - I didn't realise that I wasn't set up for the ClockworkMod recovery permanently.
When I get to the blue menu I also see a message:
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Should I be concerned?

Sorry, but was that a 'no' to Lennyuk, post#5 or me, post#6?
sorry, that was a reply to your question, there's no need to be concerned
also @ lenny, yes the desire can flash a permanent recovery (amonra or clockwork) with unrevoked
i have amon ra flashed to the phone, but i can still use clockwork if needed by flashing the update.zip i keep in the root of my sdcard or using rom manager
Thanks, appreciated.

brrillliant post brother........really sorted my problem out........thanks a lot..mmwwaaaahhh....reaaalllly i thought i bricked it but ur a gem...
Hello everyone.
I am very sorry to rise this topic but I have a problem.
My Desire HD is rooted via VisioNARY, I have ROM Manager and latest Clockwork Mod
The problem is I cannot enter the Clockwork mod. The phone stops on a red triangle and an exclamation mark, I press volume up and power, bring up the menu, select update.zip and it says invalid operation and the phone restarts.
Please help.
Thanks
EDIT:
Solved with S-off.
CWM Recovery works fine now.
When trying to load the update.zip it aborts during the verification process saying: "signature verification failed. Installation aborted." (htc aria, s-off, rooted)
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.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
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.
Noob here... So I just bought a Galaxy S3, my second Android phone, yesterday through AT&T. I decided to root the phone right away and istall clockworkmod recovery using Odin for both. I rooted the phone first and then rebooted to make sure everything was ok and it was. The phone would still boot into recovery and into download mode. After this I flashed clockworkmod recovery and everything seemed to go fine ... Odin did it's thing and I got the green "pass" box. I then tried several times to enter recovery using the button press method and the only thing that happened was my phone turned off. When I couldn't get into recovery mode using the button press method I downloaded rommanager and tried to boot to cwm recovery using that method and got an error message that told me I first needed to flash cwm recovery to the device so I flashed cwm recovery to the phone using rommanager. After flashing cwm recovery to the phone using rommanager I am now able to boot to recovery using rommanager but I'm still not able to use the button press method and I also realized this morning that I am not able to enter into download mode using the button press method either. I really want to flash the stable cyanogenmod9 rom to this phone but am scared to without having the button press recovery method as an option incase anything goes wrong.
Just to double check, what button combos are you using?
recovery=from a powered down state.volume up,home button, and power. hold all three until blue writing appears on the top of the screen, then release all three buttons.
download=volume down,home, and power.
Also, if its not the method you used to install CWM, you could try the Snapdragon tool kit to install it as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665

You are gonna have to change 2 file names.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Just rename them so that you can get them back if you ever need to update. I added -delete- to the end of mine. Reflash CWM through ROM manager & then try to manually boot CWM. Hit thanks if this does the trick.
