help me, how do I reboot in recovery?

Hi
For many days I have been sitting here and read and read and read trying to reboot my phone into recovery mode, I have not succeeded in this, can someone explain how I should do in a simple way?, my phone is rooted and have unlocked boat loader, can I install clockwork fashion?, and how do I do that?
The reason why I want to be able to reboot in recovery mode is that I have tried the "kitchen" here!

Install Doom's kernel and press back buton at boot when the lights light up to enter recovery.

To use the CMW on a Stock ROM you will need to have Un-Locked Bootloader and run the RecoveryArc.img from the Computer, but if you use a Custom Kernel such as DoomKernel, or a Custom ROM such as CyanogenMod it comes as Standard. You can find the RecoveryArc.img HERE

Hi
What means with custom kernell?,the data that already exits on my phone do I have to wipe that when I install a custom kernel?, do you mean clockworkmode when you say that it come as standard?
Don´t I need to take a backup on my "kernel" that I have in my phone now?

[Q] gahhhhhhh! please please help

i rooted my galaxy nexus last night, and today i was trying to put a rom on it, i went to wipe the cache, and now it wont boot past the google screen and im freaking out!

Before you flashed did you wipe system? Huh I bet not even so you only mention wipe cache....what about data , dalvik ?
Did you read directions in the op for the ROM?

it told me to wipe to factory, i tried doing that and it just froze, and now it wont boot. im trying to figure all this out but im a little over my head unfortunately.

Try booting into recovery and then wiping and flashing your ROM

i was trying to flash the codename android 1.6 rom, i cant post the link it wont let me

when i boot into recovery mode, it shows a droid with its chest open and a red exclamation point

I've never heard of that ROM but in fastboot will it let you use your volume and power keys to navigate to recovery? If not, try using fastboot commands on the computer to get into recovery (if you can? I'm not too acquainted with fastboot commands)

i can get into recovery but then it shows the droid with the red alert

That's fastboot. Try looking into fastboot commands and see if any command will let you boot into recovery from there.

You buggered the boot image... Just flash it again, via fastboot...
They are normally in .Franco kernels...

you mean through terminal and stuff? my knowledge to this stuff is still pretty basic so im trying to grasp all of this

Yes. Fastboot is used, in CMD (Windows) Gnome terminal (Ubuntu/Linux distributions) and the Mac OS terminal...
You need to install the ADB drivers and download the fastboot/adb files first, though (Check the Windows 8 thread (In my signature), all you need is in there...
Or, download a .Franco kernel (Check the developement section, for your device (GSM/verizon/Sprint) and search the forum...

i did fastboot and all that stuff on my laptop at home(the one i rooted it with), do i basically need to redo all of that?

Yes, but just flash the boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot %Userprofile%\Downloads\<Whatever the file is named>.img

No, that is not fastboot. That is recovery. He has the stock recovery flashed, which is the Android lying on its back with a red exclamation point.

You need to flash CWM before you do anything else. Get it from the link in my signature and flash it in fastboot. Then boot into CWM, do a wipe, and re-flash the ROM you want.

We've been there. Done that and got the T-shirt. The phone is working fine. Just installing CND 1.6

No, he hasn't been there, and obviously you didn't understand that.
If he sees the Android lying on his back with the red ! then he has the STOCK recovery flashed, not CWM.

CWM is flashed, it's installing CND (Or has installed) but whatever we do, it's a bootloop. lol) I'm doing everything, with him, whilst he's at work, via TV ^^
I'm seing exactly everything, what is happening, on the computer. I flashed everything myself...

Ah, ok! None of that was mentioned in the thread. Had no idea that you were helping him -- I thought you were helping him in this thread.

LT15i: kernel resets back to stock after rebooting the device

Hi,
I would like to ask how can I fix this problem. Whenever I fastboot any kernel (tried on ArcKnight and Trinity), sometimes it wont install. After trying 2-3 times, it will install normally. But, whenever I restart my phone, the kernel returns back to stock ICS kernel. I don't know what to do.
The things I've done before flashing the kernel:
~flash stock ICS rom
~then fastboot recoveryarc.img
~wipe everything
~install jelly sandwich rom
~fastboot custom kernel
Thanks in advance.

When you do fastboot, check what you are typing...
fastboot flash boot boot.img
-- or --
fastboot boot boot.img
The 1st one should make the new kernel stick around. The 2nd one is to test the kernel, so the new kernel is forgotten after 1st boot.
Good luck

oh i see.. haha.. i was confused between flash and boot
and to follow up, can i install CMW using recoveryarc.img using that method?

No, you should not flash recoveryarc.img to install CWM.
If you do, then you will only be able to enter recovery, and not be able to use your phone as a normal phone
(until you flash a custom kernel to replace recoveryarc.img)
This is the way you get CWM on your phone permanently...
When you fastboot the custom kernel (last step in your initial post), then you should flash it to make it permanent.
Most custom kernels have CWM recovery built-in, and here's the trick to enter recovery -
After you turn on the phone, wait for the hardware keys to light up.
Just in case you miss this, the coloured led will light up purple at the same time :cyclops:
When this happens, press (and release) the "volume down" button once or twice.
Then you should see CWM recovery in a few seconds.
Enjoy your new freedom

oh thanks a lot.. will try this when i get home..

ha ha, i lost many times for stupid flashing method: fastboot boot boot.img
TKS so so much!

[Q] Installing custom recovery? New to Samsung phones...

Hi,
This may be a stupid question but I'm new to Samsung phones so I don't know all the details (I've only been using HTC so far).
So I've followed all the steps and got root fine. However, I tried to reboot into recovery afterwards and it's like Clockworkmod has vanished.... It just gets into what looks to me like the stock recovery. Am I doing something wrong or does the phone automatically restore its stock recovery???
Also, can someone explain to me if it is possible to manually flash a recovery from the img file using fastboot like you do on HTC phones?
Oh, and another thing. What's this Odin thing? I never used anything like that with HTC...
Thanks

May I ask what variant you are using? GT-i9195?
Then please boot your phone into download mode, this can be done by first switching of your phone completely then holding the power button, home button and volume down button until the download screen appears where you press continue. Once you have done that connect your phone using the usb cable and make sure all drivers have been installed! Once the drivers are installed start up Odin uncheck the f.rest time box and click the AP section and then select the recovery file provided by Sir Arco in the root thread.
If you need more help please ask, If it worked then still reply

Odin is the software used to flash files to Samsung phones.
You will need to catch the first recovery boot after flashing the recovery image, or else the stock recovery will be reflashed once the phone boots up. Just reflash the recovery via Odin and make sure to boot into recovery right after the phone reboots after the flash.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I kind of realized that's what's happening. I've managed to boot into the custom recovery right after the flash and did what I had to do in there, but then after I reboot the phone again, the custom recovery is gone. Is there a way to stop stock recovery being reflashed automatically?
Also, if I want to install a custom kernel, how can I backup the current one so that I can restore it at a later date if I need to? I know how to do this on HTC phones but it all seems to be a bit different on Samsung and I don't want to mess up anything.

How did you reboot? If you select the reboot option in the CWM recovery,it should follow with a question on whether you want to continue rebooting with reverting to stock recovery or not.

Umm... yeah, I think it did ask but I just accidentally pressed no before reading what it said... So I guess I'll just have to flash the recovery again and then answer yes to that question.
Thanks

Yes that would be the correct way to do it.
Hope all goes well!

Does anyone have a Nandroid Backup I could Use for the Z00AD?

Hey all, little embarrassing coming here for this, but I'm in a little bit of a jam. I'm new to flashing custom ROMs, and I was trying to flash my first today, and managed to screw everything up in the process. I can boot into Clockwork mod via my PC, and I can still do everything I need to from there, but I was stupid, and didn't make a Nandroid backup before doing so. So I was wondering if anyone here could lend me theirs that I could slap onto an SD card, and recover my phone with. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Just so we're clear, this isn't an attempt to get personal information. I will take any backups you have, with or without an unlocked bootloader, with or without rooting, with or without custom ROM, anything. Heck, I'd prefer to have it as close to stock as possible, so I can do everything myself. I just need a bit of a bailout here.

Shameful self-bump. I could still really use some help here.

That's a little hard to do when the device isn't recognized by my PC, and I can't get it to boot into any recovery that isn't Clockwork mod via my PC.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems I ADB recognizes the device with CWM running. Now I gotta see where to go from there.

Now I've encountered problem number 2: I didn't allow USB debugging for the computer I'm using (USB debugging is ticked in the settings [or at least I think it is], but it's not authorized for my PC). So here's the question: Can I authorize it through Minimal ADB and Fastboot?

Triple post, but it's with a question. I'm nearly positive that this whole ordeal is going on because I tried to boot into recovery mode with the TWRP app when no recovery was available. So now the question is, is there any way I can stop the phone from trying to boot into recovery so I can install a proper one?

Turn it off, then press volume up + power when vibrates, release power while holding volume up, then release volume up as well, it should boot into bootloader where you can fastboot a new recovery.

Tried that. Doesn't work. Like I said, it keeps booting into the psudo-recovery mode thing. I can't even boot into the bootloader from there.

that will help you - besides if you are silly enough to think anyone will just give you something like a backup, come on man, I am dumb but even I am not that dumb

Have u tried to boot into Fastboot from your Cm recovery? If not, there is a way to make the stock firmware flushable by twrp or cm recovery. I don't feel like typing the whole process but if u look around the forum for a sec u should find it pretty easily. Once u do that, everything will be factory again.

I have tried booting from CWM, but TWRP overrides it still. I'll look into flashing stock firmware through CWM though.
