I'm trying to backup using ROM Manager and every time I hit reboot into recovery it just takes me to the normal stock screen with four options and none of the clockwork mod recovery options.
I rooted using the superoneclick method in case it matters. I also used a guide that made me install something called "Android SDK" and "redbend_ua flashing utility" which supposedly flashed a custom kernel required to use ROM Manager which in hindsight sounds like a load of crap.
Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Rom Manager doesn't work properly with the Epic, just reboot into recovery using the 3-button method (power off then hold power, vloume down, and camera button until you are booted into recovery).
That's the stock recovery. Try booting into recovery using the three finger method. Also what one click did you use?

I already tried the three button method and it brought me to the same screen. I used this method:

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.

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.

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..
no idea what's going on. i flashed via Odin to get root, and that worked. but i can't get into recovery via power/vol+ and home. also tried vol+ and power but no joy. download works fine.
i installed rom manager to have a peek and that says i "need to have clockworkmod recovery" before i can do anything. the weird thing is in spite of all this, rom manager *can* reboot me into recovery. i just used it to backup my rom just in case.
for now, it seems the only way i can get into CWM is via rom manager? this can't be right since my htc desire and galaxy s2 could do it from a cold boot. had to in case we screwed something up and couldn't boot an OS.
the root guide i used was via here. not2root.com

Here is CWM 6.0.1.5 mate https://hotfile.com/dl/176065007/332cffb/cwm6-recovery-n7100-121014.tar.html, flash with Odin/Mobile Odin. Also read this for root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901196.
cheers
flashed and got into recovery but not at 1st. i always held down the 3 buttons when trying to enter recovery and this time i noticed a flash of "the recovery screen" before it rebooted and went into android.
apparently you just press the buttons and let go with the note 2? not sure if i just realised it now or if this fixed it but either way i got in so tomorrow can flash a new rom.
cheers
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

Yeah those are the button combos I am using. Thanks for the input I was thinking about trying to reinstall cwm recovery when I get home from work using a different method I'll look into the snapdragon tool kit.

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.

I tried rooting my HTC Wildfire using the Revolutionary method. I was able to successfully S-OFF, root and install a custom ROM. Realizing I haven't installed gapps, I thought of flashing gapps alone and later changed my mind that I can try flashing CM 10 and then gapps. But strangely, the CWM recovery does not work for me now. Every time I enter into recovery and select an item in the list by pressing the POWER button, I get a screen with CWM icon and then nothing. Pressing the POWER button again returns to the menu, but no action done. Now my device is S-OFF but without root access. Help me out of this please.
P.S: I have tried running fastboot executable from the PC and also by putting files as PC49IMG.ZIP in the memory card. Nothing has got me the CWM recovery working nor the root access.

Simple solution for the CWM Recovery menu... You use your trackball to scroll and press it to select the option. The power button always hides the menu. you use trackball.
S-OFF but not Rooted, Recovery not working

Hi GlennBrownie,
CWM recovery works now, thanks to you. But am facing another issue. As stated earlier, my phone is not rooted. I tried to flash Mini Cyanogenmod 9 and after successfully installing from SD card, I rebooted the phone. All I got was the Cyanogen image and nothing more. I had to restore my previous ROM. Please help me out of this so I can enjoy ICS on my phone.
Your phone is rooted. MiniCM 9 V2.0 hangs at boot animation. Try V1.0 it works fine (Benni has just released a version of CM10. It is in the General section. I am going to try it this weekend. It sounds very good to me)
