[Q] Unable to enter ClockworkMod recovery

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)

*Official* Clockwork Recovery

1. Odin this fie, using PDA section:
http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/cwm_recovery_test4_adryn.tar
2. Download this file and put it on the root of your sdcard:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip
3. Boot to recovery, either from manual three button method (down, up vol +power) or using something like quick boot on the market.
4. Apply update.zip.
5. Profit!

jt1134 (his update.zip, very awesome)
use at your own risk. I am not responsible for anything you do to your device!

OK I'm in trouble now, I odin the first file and copy the update.zip to the sc card. After I do a manual boot to the boot loader the camera button does not activate anything I can not start the update.zip or reboot. If I pull the battery and reboot it just boot back to the boot loader again. Please advice I need my phone back soon.
Thanks
Update:
if I odin the "cont_cwm_recovery_2.tar.md5" file from the other post the camera button will activate the update.zip but got some error but reboot just fine. I think the odin file made in this post is for device that has the home button on the phone and no camera button map. Still no CWM but at least the phone boots normally now.

Sorry, yes, the key mappings are a bit wonky.

Thank you, I'll give it a try when I get home. What is the difference between official version of ClockworkMod Recovery for Samsung Continuum rather than a custom port made by adrynalyne? From what I can gather from the read is that the official will boot directly to CWM everytime rather than having to apply the update.zip to boot it CWM? In any case I'm much more comfortable flashing ROMs and kernel now that I can do backup in CWM.
Thanks again

Ok... I got this to install and I am able to apply the update and get into clockwork recovery. How do I get it only load CWR each time now instead of the factory recovery?
I keep having to use the default recovery to get into CWR...
I love the fact i am finally able to make a solid backup of this damn phone though!

The only way to get that to happen, is to apply a voodoo kernal.
Sent from my space time Continuum using the XDA App.

I have the voodoo kernel installed.. didn't seem to work...
**edit.. perhaps I need to allow the lag-fix to change the partition data first.. i'll try that and report back.

When you reboot to recovery, how are you doing it? ROM Manager can not properly boot into CWM on voodoo kernels

I tried to boot it using both volume keys. Now it's stuck in a bootloop saying something like "miscooperation"

oops, i hit the thanks button >.< oh well...
Anyway, did you do a battery pull after you activated voodoo? You had to let it convert your whole system! I don't know what else could be wrong.

Yeah.. I let it convert.. it booted up fine when done. I then shut it off and tried to reboot and go into the CWR menu. It then boot looped. I was able to manually get to CWR through the stock menu and am in the process of restoring right now....

oh... Well, that's good at least.

Ok.. got it to flash the voodoo kernel again and now all I get is the Cwm recovery menu. Not sure what i can do to get this thing to load an OS again.

Signature verification fail on update.zip
Edit:
Downloaded update.zip from addictive tips. Booted into the red colored clockwork once. Flashed DL17 Root Deodex etc. Can't boot into that recovery again. Been trying and trying.

AWFUL
So I did everything as instructed and used odin to flash recovery. now I'm trying to get CWM on my device going into boot mood. Error message says signature failed and that "update.zip gone" HELP!!!

I would copy the update.zip again on the root of your sdcard and try the manual recovery procedure.

I cant get into recovery i get the red triangle and cant do anything

Recovery
First, make sure you're not connected via usb..
Then, reboot, which means you'll need to pull the battery and replace
Hold the power button down and down volume down.....
Then, wait for the hboot or recovery screen..
Select recovery and push power button...
Now wipe partition cache, then dalvic cache....
At this point, you may be able to recovery to a previous backup or new rom...
Or..
Then try flashing the img file again.... it should be placed on the root of your sdcard...
It is possible you may need to re download the img file and then place it back on the sdcard...

Go to xhausx auto root and download the 3.70 ruu. Connect your phone to your computer and flash the stock rom. You will have to reroot, then go through all the steps again, but you should have your phone back. It is probably not bricked. Bricked means just that, bring will happen, it is now a brick.

[Q] I am getting a picture of an Evo with a Red ! inside of a triangle HALP!

please help me fix this issue alot people say to reflash recovery but dont say how have not use my phone in two days.

I'm assuming that you get that when you try to boot into recovery? Which recovery were you using?
You need to get a PC36IMG of the recovery and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader by holding volume down and power at the same time. It'll recognize the file and ask you to update. Select yes with volume up, let it flash, and then select no when it asks you to reboot. When you get back to hboot select recovery.
I have Amon Ra on hand and properly named. If you were using ClockworkMod or TWRP, you'll need to find the correct zip file & make sure it's named exactly PC36IMG.zip (don't add the zip if you don't see it).

im using revolutionary on evo 4g

thanks for all your help it works like a charm.

Phone Bricked, Please Help

So I made the dumb mistake of trying to install CWM Recovery through Rom Manager. I chose the Epic 4G Touch as the option. Now when I boot though it boots into some odd recovery saying update file is backed up: reportedted manual mode updating appliction installing apks. successfully updated application. I can move the volume up and down that works, but when I hit the power button it doesn't do anything when I am on the options. I have tried flashing the Stock EG30 that didn't work, I tried flashing the kernals with recovery and those just bring up that recovery all the time, but I still can't hit the power button because nothing happens. Anyone have any idea what I should do?

The newer CWM recoveries use the capacitive touch buttons for selection, did you try pressing those?

Ok now I feel like a noob that seemed to work thanks. It's backup and running

Glad you got it all sorted out

It took me a bit to figure that out. How do I boot into recovery then? I flasged CWM through ROM manager and can't boot into it to flash my ROM's?

Some ways are:
ROM manager, when you choose to "Install ROM from SD Card" then it'll let you choose and boot from there.
Using ADB run
[adb reboot recovery]
make sure "USB Debugging" is checked
Power Off phone.
Hold (Power + Vol-Up Key) That boots into Recovery.
Supposed there are some apps that do it as well.

This is one I keep hearing about.
P.S. You should install that directly from a computer. It's so fun doing that.

Confuse why anybody using Rom Manager for anything other that maybe fix permissions... Sorry just my thoughts on the subject..
