Hello
I am now rooted, I have my custom rom and full wipe on SD not extracted of course.
Installed the Rom Manager, flashed the clockwork recovery...but doesn't matter what I do it won't enter into recovery.
Even bought the droid bootstrap, tried it manually and still the same.....the triangle and ! shows every time.
Please help me...what should I do? what is it that I'm doing wrong?
Try shutting down the device and starting it up by holding the volume down key at the same time. When the bootloader shows, navigate by volume keys to recovery.
Try flashing recovery from fastboot

Whenever I try to boot into recovery to install a ROM, it automatically does the HBoot. I don't have the option to go to Recovery. What did I do wrong?
Sounds like you need to press the other volume button when you boot into recovery. I can't remember which one is correct...volume up or volume down...try the opposite of what you are doing now.
Can I delete the PC36IMG.zip file? I feel like that is the culprit.
Yes. I renamed mine, but you can delete it.
Yeah basically the bootloader will look for PC36IMG.zip every time you enter it so if it's there it will go through that process all over again. Either rename it or delete it and your problem will be solved.
I have flashed clockworkmod, but also dont see how to directly boot into it.
When I power-on, if I press down, it goes to hboot. It I press up, I think it goes to fastboot.
The only way I can get into it, is to use rom manager, or go hboot and then choose the recovery option.
Can someone tell me what the official buttons are?
You need to take the pc36img off your sd card or rename it. Then press volume down to recovery then power button. Will then boot to a black screen with a red triangle and a EVO in the background. Then run your batch file as admin from your Evo-Recovery file. You should now been in your Recovery Mode
Yes from HBoot you need to choose recovery (assuming you renamed pc36img). That is how I did it. Once you have a custom ROM installed on the phone, download ROM manager and flash the recovery from the app. Then use quickboot to boot to recovery if you need to. But installing custom ROMs from Rom Manager is easiest.
Hi,
I am having an issue accessing Recovery to make a backup of my current ROM from HBOOT on my HTC Droid Incredible running Cyanogenmod 7.1.0. My phone was rooted using the unrEVOked method listed on the Cyanogenmod web page. I have attempted three methods to access recovery:
1. I load ROM Manager v5.0.0.6 on the phone and then select "Backup Current ROM." The phone reboots into HBOOT v0.92. I use the Volume Down button to highlight "Recovery" and then hit the Power button to select.
2. I load ROM Manager on the phone and then select "Reboot into Recovery." Once in HBOOT, the same steps from method one above.
3. While the phone is turned off I hold Volume Down and Power on the phone to boot into HBOOT directly. Once in HBOOT, the same step from method one above.
However, once I select "Recovery" from within HBOOT, it doesn't actually go into Recovery. Instead, it changes, possibly reloads HBOOT and says "FASTBOOT" at the top, and the selections are different - "Recovery" is no longer an option.
All that to say - I can't make a backup of my current ROM using HBOOT. Suggestions on how I can fix this?
Go into ROM Manager, advanced options, check erase recovery. Now flash recovery in ROM Manager. Reboot into recovery.
tried, unsuccessful

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried doing that just now, unfortunately, no success. When booted into HBOOT it starts out at the FASTBOOT screen. I select BOOTLOADER which causes the white screen to appear briefly before giving me the bootloader options. However, upon selecting recovery it just flashes the HTC white screen again and puts me back in the FASTBOOt screen.
Assuming your s-off, flash cwm recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip. If that dosent work flash back to stock recovery http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/Stock_4.08.605.2/PB31IMG.zip, then reboot and flash back to cwm. Heres how to flash in hboot if you dont already know http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79
Successfully rooted my device and went onto flashing cwm for it.
used recovery manager as suggested by many users.
recovery manager app deleted the stock recovery and did not flash anything else in its place
So...
No recovery
Holding Vol up & down buttons dont take me to Recovery or fastboot mode.
the phone simply reboots.
Tried flashing the recovery with adb by command prompt
but the device simply doesnt reboot into fastboot mode.
Need Solution over this problem ASAP:crying:
Trying to install TWRP v3. Phone is unlocked (not rooted yet as not necessary atm). I'm able to sucesfully push the .img to the sdcard via adb and install via "fastboot flash recover twrp.img" but the moment I reboot the phone and try to access recovery to get into TWRP, all I get is a little icon of an android mascot lying down with his belly open. No TWRP.
I know the phone will auto-overwrite custom recovery's if the correct combination of hardware buttons are not pressed after the first TWRP install (as TWRP needs to patch the default recovery the first time to stop the phone from constantly trying to overwrite TWRP every time) but so far i've not been able to find out what it is (i.e. not the usual vol +- and power all at the same time. Its gotta be something else?).
Edit: Delete his post. I figured it out. Turns out it isn't a good idea to execute "fastboot reboot" immediately after TWRP installation
Don't restart the Phone!
Flash Recovery and the do the following:
Use the volume keys to scroll and power key to select the Reboot Bootloader option. Once the phone has booted back into the bootloader you can use the volume keys to scroll and the power key to boot into your newly flashed recovery. It's now safe to disconnect your usb cable.
i'm trying to install a twrp recovery on the Sprint G2, but for some reason i can't and i can't figure out why,
i had 5.0.2 running and i couldn't root it with "one click root",
so i downgraded it to 4.2.2(LS980ZV8) and rooted it with ioroot25,
i installed the twrp-2.8.6.0-ls980 recovery with terminal emulator using the "dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery" command,
it went through fine but i couldn't enter the recovery, it would just normally boot the phone instead of entering recovery,
then i installed the "twrp manager", it wouldn't detect the installed recovery, so i installed it again using the manager (twrp-2.8.7.0-ls980.img),
it went through fine but when it asked me to reboot into recovery it wouldn't reboot after i pressed "yes",
so i tried to do it manually and still couldn't enter it, so i ran the manager again and it doesn't recognize the recovery it just installed, and i can't reinstall it because it gives me an error that "i already have it installed or another error have occurred",
i though that i might need to downgrade the modem but my modem is already v8 and it enters the "download mode" just fine, so i don't know what to do now, it's my first time modding the g2, help please
ok so i just figured out that to enter "factory reset " i need to press "power + volume up" not "power + volume down , release, repeat" like most everybody says,
either way i can get into the factory reset but after pressing the powerbutton 3 times i get a black screen for about a minute before i can boot the phone again,
i used flashify to install the recovery image and it worked
