I can't reboot into recovery no matter how I try. I tried using the clockwork mod app, holding volume down while powering on and the quick boot app by selecting recovery. Nothing works. It takes me to the white screen where your info is at the top and you can select recovery but when I do it just takes me back to that screen.
Plz help

I little more info would help. Does the screen have white bars on either side? If so you have an SLCD Incredible and will need a different recovery. Search the forums, there are several to choose from. If that's not the problem try to elaborate a little. Hope this helps.

Generally means an incomplete or corrupt recovery. Try flashing it again.

The easiest thing to try would be reflashing the recovery. You can easily do this using Rom manager. If you were on clockwork, just select flash clockworkmod recovery. If you were using Amon, select flash alternate recovery. After that completes, try booting to recovery again. See if that takes care of it for you.
Use ROM Manager to reflash your recovery.
Ok i got it now, i really appreciate ur help guys i was getting nervous for a sec lol

I'm stuck on the Clockwork Mod recovery screen. Due to an issue detailed here, the gist of which was accidentally installing a kernel designed for the international Galaxy S2, I no longer can use my home and menu keys, and therefore cannot select anything on the Clockwork recovery screen (i.e. "power off"). Removing and replacing the battery just restarts the phone and takes me back to the Clockwork screen. Any help is appreciated!
Regards,

use vol up and vol down to navigate. Power to select

If so just flash the stock kernel or rom.

Maybe try this to see if it'll work?

Thanks.
Fyi. Before I tried this and now after the system says I'm already up to date.
So why say it's up to date when it's not?

There was a way to dial up a number to have it check the server for an update, and you'll get it sometime in the next 72 hours... I don't remember what it was...

What software number are you on 4.06.605.3 ? If so download this ( http://android.clients.google.com/p..._WWE_4.08.605.2-4.06.605.3_release_222219.zip ) rename it update.zip and place it on your sdcard in no folders. Go to menu - settings - applications and uncheck fast boot. Power off the phone. Hold down the volume down button and power button untill a white screen pops up, wait a couple seconds and it should scan for some files and say update gift found or something like that it should then go to a black screen with a progress bar and install the update. If it does not find the file automaticly select recovery and then hit vol up and power a menu will pop up select install update.
Thanks. Did not work.
Had to do recovery then update from sd card. Then it said command not successful or something similar.
Yes it was renamed update.zip and put on sdcard/ no folder.

before,I have the same problem.then I download a compelete ROM to UPDATE,then everything is OK.
I'm not root. No mods. So shoot, I have no clue

Dialing that checkin thing using the Dialer should pull the update to your phone sometime in the next 2-3 days, from what I've heard people say when they've done it. So maybe you'll get it sometime between now and tomorrow?
Well considering it doesn't work even though I put the update on my sd card, I doubt it will work. I don't know of course.

You could just ruu to the new ota but that would wipe all your settings and data. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357969)
Or call or take in to verizon and tell them it tried updating and failed and now it wont update. They should be able to update it for you. Your not rooted so they will give you no hassle.
Part of the bug in the first OTA GB was that the cache never got wiped. You'll have to do it manually to update.
If you're unrooted, pull your battery and boot into recovery by holding vol down while you press the power button > selecting recovery at the white screen. Then from there, wipe your CACHE partition... Don't wipe anything else!
Reboot the phone. Go to date and time, switch it to manual and set your date ahead by a week... You will get a prompt and you'll be able to actually install it this time.
I've already deleted cache. Nothing works.

Reboot now and install started. Then rebooted and said not enough free space to install this update. I've got tons of phone storage free space. Even the apps space has well over half available. This is utterly effing hopeless.

You deleted cache from recovery? Or from the settings menu? You have to do it from recovery so that it's actually formatted and empty

i think you have to go through hboot if the device is off. why is that important? it doesnt take that long to go through hboot. if your device iss uo with a custom rom, most support restarting into recovery.
Have to volume down + power to hboot, volume down let the search complete, volume down to recovery, power to select then you will boot to recovery doesnt take too long from a rom with power menu mod you can choose recovery and boot straight in or if your rom doesnt have a power menu mod you can use quick boot from the market to boot straight to recovery

Do what "sasquatchotragavaca " says. In case u can't get into recovery(happened to me several times) download the recovery file and flash it again(ill recommend amon ra smelkus mod) and use an sdcard reader to transfer the file from pc to the sdcard. There is a few guides out there in case you are not familiar doing this.
