[Q] Can not boot in recovery mode

Just flashed shipped rom by the way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826465
Then installed Visionary to root, it was OK.
Then did a "one click radio S-off" it was ok.
Then installed ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery .... Everything was OK. Then I reboot to Recovery mode, screen burst upon with "!" symbol in triangle and halt ...
Try to do many ways ... but nothing happened better.
Somehow I got mistake or something went wrong? Because before re-flashed the rom said above I can boot into recovery mode without problem.
Please help.
Thanks.

You need km flash the clockwork recovery image over the top of the stock recovery. Flashing with ROM manager is a fake flash and not the real thing, have a look at the stickies have flash the recovery then you'll be good to go,
Good luck

Blinkydamo what are you talking about?? Rom manager flashes it just fine. It just has a bug, that sometimes users have to flash cwm twice.
So, HkDng, just try to flash clockworkmod again using rom manager.

Thanks jkoljo.
I tried to flash using rom manager many times but still failed.

Try to remove the rom manager and install it again.. And check in bootloader that you have S-OFF.

Personally I would flash the recovery from fastboot, at least then you know if it's worked or not, I am finding rom manager a little flaky with the latest cwm 3.0.0.5, and end up using Clockwork recovery directly for the time being

Did, but issue still there.

Rom Manager says 3.0.0.8 but recovery says 2.5.0.1

So i got the latest version of CW recovery but when i boot into recovery it says its 2.5.0.1
how do i get it to say 3.0.0.8 in recovery?? this might be why none of my roms will load

Mine would do that too, I think. It wouldn't work until I formatted my SD card to FAT32 I believe.

what color font is your recovery? I'm pretty certain they are separate updates\installs. Updating ROM Manager does not update Recovery.

its green font

ya, that's old 2.x. 3.x is orange. Just want to make sure... have you opened ROM Manager and then choose the first option, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" ?

yup, the top of rom manager says 3.0.0.8
even when i go to the bottom and select older verisons, when i boot to recovery it still says 2.5.0.1

hmm ok. you could manually flash (see below) but I don't want to be wrong and have you try it and your phone b0rks. hopefully someone else will chime in and if they says it's ok, go for it.
manual way -> download the zip from here, rename to PB31IMG.zip, place on root of SDCard, boot into HBOOT, let it update.

Any other ideas before I try this??

When you flash from ROM Manager, first go to settings and check erase previous recovery.
See the thread in my sig.
BTW, there's very little risk in using a PB31IMG.zip to install a new recovery.
Also see dougpiston.com for recovery downloads.

Very important point.

So after i check it in setting do i click the flash recovery and pick 3.0.0.8?? and then let it flash that version? if so i did that and in recovery i still have 2.5.0.1
or do i click that, do a backup and try loading the new rom? im beyond annoyed!!

When i go into HBOOT it says image not found.

Formatted the SD card to Fat32?

Will I lose stuff on my card if I do that?

Yeah, just pull the files off and put em on your computer, format, then put em back.

Did you try WarmZ... I seen a zip file in there thread to allow you to install nightlies. it was suppose to set your CW to 2.5 for flashing the nightly and the reset itself. I have not tried it but that may be causing part of the issue.
otherwise did you try using ROM manager to change to 3.0.0.7 or 6 or 5? maybe that will reset whatever is going wrong with it.
Just a suggestion and good luck
SoBBie

I having the same problem. flashing the recovery by hboot worked for me. On 3.0.0.8 but Rom Manager will not work for flashing to older versions or alternate. So I'm confused why is RM not working for changing the recovery version?

Cant mount SDcard after flash?

Hi!
I have flashed my HTC One X, but it didn't work well so i would back. But i messed it up.. CWM cant see my sdcard/ anymore.. So i cant do a USB fastboot, the windows scripts are failing etc..
Am i Bricked?
Daan

Your Recovery version?

Hi,
Yes. Yesterday i flashed from RevolutionHD Rom to Leedroid HD. Because Leedroid has errors i went today from Leedroid to MiUI. The same errors(was the backup-.-)
But then i would go back to Leedroid(love it<3). There went "something"wrong, dont know what..
It started with the /cache/ that was not asseble.. now the whole /sdcard/ isn't anymore.. That says CWM.

From where do you get this CWM 5.8.1.8 ? CWM for TP ?
Current version is 5.8.3.1 and the latest with auto-mount usb storage also 5.8.3.1
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1594819

Thanks! But i can't update i think, because my computer doesn't see the oneX..
It doesnt come in android anymore.

Can you goto your bootloader?

Go to bootloader, flash latest test recovery, then you're sorted.

But how can i flash te recovery when i can´t acces te SDcard?:$

U don't need to worry about that. Only your cwm recovery isn't detecting ur sd partition. I doesn't matter, Just goto bootloader, connect to your pc and flash the latest recovery using 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' cmd
I hope you are aware of this.

Can't get into recovery

Hello,
For some reason lately I cannot boot into recovery. It will boot into the white screen (bootloader?) but keeps loading it when I try to go into recovery. The same thing happens when I try to reboot phone into recovery.
I cannot backup or flash any ROMS now. CWM seems not be be able to backup my current ROM anyway, even when I could boot into recovery a few days ago.
Also, my SD card adapter has failed me and now sometimes when I go to connect with USB to put files onto the card it sometimes does not work and restarts Cyanogenmod. I worked on the last try ok.
I am running Cyanogenmod 7.2.01 and have Rover theme installed.
Please help.

Reflash your recovery. Use 4ext recovery this time. You will find an apk file on 4ext site, just download and install.
Go the application and follow instructions to flash the recovery. It will overwrite the current one.

Ok I flashed recovery from ROM manager again and it's working fine. I still don't know why it didn't work or I needed to flash recovery again, but at least it works now

[Q] ROM Wiped, Recovery Corrupted

I have been trying to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0 on my Wildfire S, but failed. It just goes back to CWM 5.0.2.8. I stupidly went to wipe data in recovery, and now my recovery is corrupted. When I try to mount USB storage, it gives me
Code:
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I tried fastboot, but since I'm running Windows 8.1, HTC drivers won't install. I have tried most solutions but they all don't work. Is there a way I can flash the recovery from my computer?

You should be able to flash a .tar recovery through Odin

As bootloader? PDA? Phone? CSC?
Edit: Odin can't even detect my phone

It should not detect too. Odin is for samsung phones. To reinstall the recovery you can try to flash by the PG76100.zip method. Get a recovery in a zip, place it on root of sdcard and boot to bootloader.
BTW how are you sure that your recovery is corrupted? It is really a very weird thing for the recovery to be corrupted.

It isn't really corrupted, just not working as intended. I will try the PG76100.zip tomorrow when I have time. BTW, that is flashed from bootloader right?

Yes you can just go to bootloader and it will check for the file and prompt to install it. And what do you mean by not working as intended? Are you trying to flash CM11 then it will require at least CWM6 or TWRP 2.7

Trying to mount USB storage will give error as posted in OP, trying to flash from SD card or mount SD card will show Unable to mount SD card error. I am trying to flash TWRP 2.7.1.0. (check OP)

Tried the PG76IMG.zip method from 2.3.5 RUU, flashed in HBoot, factory reset-ed, phone still not booting/recovery still CWM 5.0.2.8.
Edit: Recovery is working as per normal, however anything I flash, it will just reboot to recovery half way in booting process. Stock 2.3.5, Marvellous Sense 3.5, CM10.1, all of them.

You don't need to factory reset after the recovery. Was there any errors while flashing? Try a fresh start like --> Install another recovery, if it installs then all well but if it does not then find the correct RUU for your model and flash it. You'll need to redo everything you did to root your phone after this. BTW are you sure you wiped system and data? Both of them and before flash not after.

My process went from start to current position like this:
1. Was on Marvellous Sense 3.5
2. Tried to flash TWRP 2.7.0.0 through terminal
3. Reboot to recovery, CWM 5.0.2.8 still there
4. Redid process, still CWM 5.0.2.8
5. Thought it was a ROM problem, wiped data, tried installing Marvellous Sense 3.5, CWM wouldn't read SD card, (CWM problems started)
6. Tried creating own PG76IMG.zip with TWRP 2.7.0.0 inside, CID error when flashed in hboot
7. Ran RUU to get ROM.zip, transferred to SD card as PG76IMG.zip, flashed in hboot. (Wiped data before flashing)
8. Phone won't boot, recovery problem automagically ended
9. Tried flashing OWL recovery PG76IMG.zip in hboot, got CID error again.
10. Current situation.
I won't be able to get my CID since I'm running Windows 8.1, and I can't get hold of any Windows 7 PC.

Creating the PG76IMG.zip by your own would not work as the necessary info file is not inside. Take the zip I attached and replace the recovery.img inside with which recovery you want. And don't replace the android-info.txt. That's the one you're missing now.
And press thanks if it worked

There's no zip attached, but anyway, thanks for your solutions, I fixed my problem by flashing recovery from fastboot by borrowing a Windows 7 laptop from my friend
