[Q] Can't Reboot into Recovery in CWM - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my phone using the method that iamcquinn used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160
I've got S-Off and Titanium Backup verifies that my root is okay.
I've flashed CWM into 3.0.2.4. After that, I tried to run Reboot into Recovery.
After that, I get stuck on the HTC logo screen of the G2 and it's stuck there.
What's the problem that I'm experiencing here, and how can I solve it?
Thanks

Install ROM Manager from the Market and reflash the recovery image from there.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I flashed it through ROM manager. I've reflashed once and got the same result.
Also, when I boot up my phone with the Power key + Volume down, a couple lines flash up before I get to the menu. The only thing I could make out was that some image couldn't be found. Does that have anything to do with it?

It could be that it isn't a "problem"; give us the text which is displayed on your device while booting up. It could give us a clue about the "problem" you have. You do have ENG HBOOT and S-OFF on your boot screen?

I do have S-OFF and HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC101000).
When I load up the bootscreen via power + volume down, it checks my SD card and says that PC10DIAG.zip isn't found. No image/wrong image was found.

What happens when you enter clockwork recovery?

The phone reboots; the videos that I've seen have the phone boot into recovery mode after about 5-10 seconds, but mine never gets there. It just stays on the htc screen.

what about adb? are you able to connect to your phone using adb?

if you got s-off you can
fastboot flash recovery
and see that gives you recovery, and able to boot into it

Can't flash rom and stuck in Clockwork 2.5.0.1

I rooted my 2.02 Evo
Every time I try to flash I get this
E :Can't symlink /system/bin/cat
E :Failure at Line 11:
Symlink toolbox SYSTEM:bin/cat
Installation aborted
and I can't get into the rom I have on now. Every time I turn it on it goes to the HTC EVO white screen, restarts, HTC EVO white screen again and then goes into Clockwork.
Please help, I just got the phone 3 days ago
Try holding down the volume button down while holding the home button it should take you to a white screen. There use the volume key to scroll to recovery. Then click on nanadroid backup and click on your backup. If all else fails go to htc.com click on your evo then support and download the flash file. Flash your phone back to factory. You will also need to download HTC sync. Hope it helps.

So I followed this
FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO RELOAD YOUR ROM MOST LIKELY AFTER THIS SO YOU MAY WANT THAT HANDY AND COPIED TO THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD. RESTORING A NANDROID MAY NOT WORK
1) Download File above PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

If everything has been idle for a few minutes, I would first try running unrevoked again, right from the screen with the triangle (that's recovery screen, you just don't have a custom recovery yet). If that fails, then shut the phone off and boot to the bootloader. See if its S off or S on. If its S off, you just need to flash a recovery. If it's S on, I would RUU and then try Unrevoked again. Let us know if its S off or S on.

Mmmm, is the phone any diff, e.g. Superuser App, ROM manager installed? Or still completely unrooted. Either way, might try again.

showed s-off, but then i tried rebooting to recovery and red arrow, then turned off, booted to bootloader and red arrow, then waited a few mins and then phone booted up to system
If you have rom manager on the phone now, try opening it and clicking "Flash Clockwork Recovery."
unrevoked is still staying at waiting for system to settle, why is this? it usually goes away after like 30 seconds.

Okay, you just need to install recovery. As jlstafford said, if you use rom manager, select flash recovery. If that gives you trouble (depends if unrevoked got Super User installed before it failed), then u need to flash a PC36IMG of recovery. Let us know.

Just be patient with it for a few minutes. I've had that take af ew minutes before. Also, something could be interfering with it, such as anti virus, pda net, doubletwist, htc sync, etc. Who knows. The bottom line is that if you're S off already, you really don't need to run unrevoked again. You can finish it yourself, manually. Put this PC36IMG(amon ra 2.3) on the root of your sd card. Boot to your bootloader. Let it update, by selecting volume up. WHen it finishes, boot to recovery. You should now have recovery. From that point, wipe and flash a rom if desired.

Download the file I just attatched . Put it on the main directory of your sd card, not in any folders. Don't rename it, just download it and put it on hte card. When it's on your card, pull your battery out. Put the battery back in, then hold volume down and power button. You should get to the bootloader, and it should wait a few seconds, then scan the card, find the PC36IMG, and ask you to update. Select yes when it asks you. Then when it asks you to reboot, select NO. Then from the bootloader menu, select recovery. What happens? DO you get to recovery successfully now?
EDIT: and this is assuming you are indeed S off. You said you were S off, for sure right?
I was trying to get him to flash a recovery not in bootloader, since it seemed like he couldn't get to hboot or recovery. Although, he may be able to now.
after unrevoked reboots SU is not in the app drawer like it usually is

Right, I agreed with you on that, and suggested that he use ROM Manager to flash recovery as well. However then his next response was that he was trying to use Unrevoked again. He must be able to get to the bootloader, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see if he was S on or S off. Also, depending how far Unrevoked got before it failed, it may or may not have installed the Super User App. If it didn't get that far, he probably won't be able to use ROM Manager, as it wont be granted SU. If that's the case, a PC36IMG should work, and isn't hard, as long as your volume buttons and power buttons function!

I was concerned of that. If you are S off, please download the PC36IMG I attatched and follow the instructions. It should work man, as long as that bootloader is S off. Have you tried that yet? What was the result? The critical part you are missing right now is Recovery. If you can get recovery, you can then flash a rom, which will have Super User app and busybox included anyways. You just need recovery.
I got it, it was a bad download of unrevoked.

There have been numerous warnings over the past year about Visionary that I have to ask this question: Why oh why did you use it? Rage is a much safer method than Visionary and won't brick your phone at all (rooted three G2's with Rage/Gfree).

what is ?
what is your main problem
the problem is it wont load past the htc logo screen
Get a copy of the 2.2 PC10IMG.zip and reboot into your bootloader (Vol. Down + Power). If the bootloader can flash it, you should be able to boot normally. Go to the CyanogenMod Wiki and root using Rage/Gfree.

Okay, go back into your bootloader and flash the latest ClockworkMod recovery via Fastboot.
I assume I can find the directions on how to load clockwork through fastboot on here. If that does work and I can go into recovery would I be safe to flash a custom rom at that point

For fastboot to flash recovery, the image needs to be on your comp. Open up your computer's Terminal, cd to the directory it's in, and type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotes).

nevermind got it
for people that are curious:
have the recovery.img (correct one! this was my problem) in the tools folder of the android sdk, open command prompt from that folder (hold shift and right click)
then run this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
also phone has to be in fastboot (vol- and power, then select fastboot)
I finally have recovery!
Im gonna try to load a rom now!
It worked! my phone is alive!

[Q] Rooted Incredible w/ Cyanogenmod 7, stuck in boot loop, can't boot to recovery

hello all, my first post.
I have incredible, rooted, with cyanogenmod 7. it has been working as normal for months and months. the other day, it just got stuck in the boot animation. i hadn't changed anything, system tweaks, etc, right before this.
i hold volume down and press power, and it goes to bootloader mode. normally here, i can select RECOVERY, and then goes to the black screen, where i could do many things, drastic as wipe the phone, reinstall cyanogenmod, g-apps, etc.
whats my problem now, is that when i hold power down and power and get to the white recovery screen, if i select RECOVERY, it doesnt go where it used to. it goes to the OTHER white screen where choices are, REBOOT, POWER DOWN, etc. So i select to go into recovery mode (the black screen) but it never goes there now. Always did before. Just goes to that next white screen, letting me reboot and start the cycle over again. I've tried with no SC card, no difference.
I found a post someone giving specific directions to format sd card, put radio update only on card, and boot with that in phone. I did, and it successfully said it updated, but still nothing has changed.
I cant get into recovery mode, to reformat, wipe, run any updates, nothing. I've tried so many times i can't even guess. I think it has become a brick. But I finally posted here hoping i may find some advice.
Anyone have any ideas of what i can do, if i can get into recovery mode?
if this helps, this all the info on the white screen - holding power down and powering on:
HBOOT-0.92.0000
MICORP-0417

S-off is security off. It allows you to flash images not signed by HTC. At the top of the hboot screen it should say either s-on or s-off. If it let tou flash cwm recovery you are s-off.
Yes enter recovery, wipe everything in mounts and storage and either flash a stock ruu thru hboot, or flash a rom of your choosing. Do not choose aply update.zip choose install from sdcard, and select your roms zip file.
I would also flash a new radio thru hboot, as i have never seen that version of radio for the incredible. http://dinc.does-it.net/Radios.

ok, so here's where I'm at now:
updated radio via hboot via last link posted. i can now get to recovery screen, which is awesome, but - i can select any of the options and select one, and then it goes to a black screen with the ROM manager hat logo, with a yellow arrow under it. The arrow does not move or rotate, as if it was processing my command. it just sits idle on that logo forever.
i can hit power to go back to the recovery menu, and selecting nothing, well, does anything!
any ideas? just far your replies have gotten me past the loop i was in, so i eagerly hope there's more input for me now as to why none of the options in recovery screen process when i select them, they just go to a logo with the hat and an arrow (remember, the arrow isn't moving at all).
btw its ClockworkMod Recovery v 5.0.2.0

Can you enter recovery? If so wipe everything in mounts and storrage except emmc and sdcard, and then restore a known good backup or flash a rom fresh. If that dosent work i would do an ruu.
Can he do a ruu from Fastboot or hboot or cwmi thought he had to be able fully boot to use ruu.

He can do a PB31IMG.zip ruu through hboot. To do the ruu.exe with a pc you need to be able to boot to enable usb debuging i think.
i was able to do all the listed in this thread. but after 2 days of searching i still can't find a good solution for formatting /data, I get an error everytime and cm7 is the only rom that I can boot on my dinc. however when i think i have fresh flash, some of my old apps are still there.
if i ruu i get stuck on the red eye screen and the phone reboots.
I'm at a loss

Edit: There's no driver issue if it were on a Mac right? Especially adb sideloading the CWM SuperSu zip?
How do I flash the stock recovery? CWM isn't working and I tried to update the driver like in the video but couldn't find the "manta" that I needed to update. I'm just stuck in bootloop animation now. I'm downloading the stock image right now to try and flash it back to stock..

If you go into fastboot mode then choose recovery to get to the screen with the red triangle, keep pressing the power button and volume buttons randomly until the stock recovery pops up. From there do a factory reset and it'll work, I just did it to mine!
I flashed the CWM recovery img so when I do what you say it takes me to the bootloader screen and says Downloading. No red triangle. It boots into CWM and then after 20 seconds restarts itself and hits the bootanimation loop. Any clue what to do next? Trying to flash the stock image but having issues using cmds in windows cmd
*edit
I cleared cache through cmd and i got to the red triangle...thank ****ing the lord. DTWAZERE, I will remember tonight. Thank you for your help.

Thing is it will delete the CWM recovery when you leave it so you'll have to reflash it, which is why this is so unstable!
I had the exact same thing as you and this is what I did:
Press the power button to turn it off while it says downloading
Hold both volume buttons down and power on to get into fastboot
Choose recovery
Press power and volume buttons randomly when the red triangle appears until you get stock recovery
Choose Factory Reset
Reboot
You should be able to get back into the rom that way,
to root it you need to boot into fastboot again, reflash the recovery, and sideload the superuser apk

Yeah this is exactly what I did and it worked. I'll wait on flashing anything until there's a stable recovery. I was fairly confident in what I was doing until that happened. Not being able to input commands from cmd prompt made me sick so I'll wait for a dev to release something that works without having to quickly install the drivers again within a 15-20 second timeframe. Too much stress.

How do we get back to stock? Might need to reattempt this.
If you are stuck on the boot animation (X) screen... power off your device and enter fastboot mode and then type fastboot -w... I has this problem and this fixed it!
NOTE: fastboot -w will wipe your internal storage completely

THIS WORKED!!
Youre a genius. thanks!
When I try to install the manta drivers manually and tell it to search the same area that it searched and found the android bootloader drivers for fastboot mode it says that the drivers couldn't be found and installed. Am I missing something? Also if i try to do fastboot flash recovery it gives me an error message stating that it cannot determine the image filename for the recovery image.
Well i guess i did it the long way around.
Went to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c
and downloaded the Nexus 10 file. extracted, and the actual files in the Nexus10Root folder.
Opened the flash-all.sh and entered each command manually because it was erroring out running the script.
After the 3rd command it booted right into android!
