downgraded & rooted phone with s-off, but when i boot phone (holding vol down +power) and go into recovery i get black screen with phone in middle with red exclamation mark, only way to get out of this is to remove battery, any ideas please.
you need to get rom manager from market and flash clockwork recovery mod then you can flash custom roms through recovery
had rom manager installed with clockwork recovery mod but had earlier version, updated clockwork recovery mod and managed to install new rom, thanks for your reply was appreciated and pointed me i the right direction, cheers.

A quick question.
We all boot our Phones into Recovery, (And i do anyway)
Run Update.zip (Fake Flash)
And hey Presto am in Clockwork Recovery,
Is there not way to Flash your Recovery to have Clockwork Recovery as the default recovery,
No more running Update.zip and when you boot into recovery your in clockwork recovery.....
(Yes i know ROM manager and other utility's do that but from the simple power on with Volume button etc)
Use unrEVOked...

Basically with unrevoke, you can permanently flashed recovery of your choice (either Clockwork mod or AmonRa) into your phone. What this mean you can go directly to your recovery (by pressing Vol - and Pwr) without booting into any application or even ROM.
i have flashed to Clockwork Recovery, but i want to flash into AR recovery. i used the unvekoed to flash the customr recovery, after the desire reboot, it is still the Clockwork Recovery. What can i do?
Did you load the AR recovery in unrevoked? Start unrevoked, custom recovery image.
I'm just asking to be sure, not that you mix up names.

Ask in the unrEVOked thread
Hi all,i have just rooted with unrevoked 3.21,did a nandroid backup and titanium backup and would like to install custom rom.I used rom manager,flashed clockworkmod recovery via the option there and put the rom zip in root of sd card and select install rom from sd card.When i select start to backup current rom and wipe data and cache,it boots into recovery and then a exclamation mark with yellow triangle pops up and stayed there.I pressed the power button and out comes and error saying ....invalid update argument??and installation was aborted.i was able to boot back into phone...
pls help//
Thanks!!
Did you already toggle signature verification? If not you can either flash the rom yourself from recovery or (also in recovery) toggle signature verification to get rom manager working.
so i must toggle to disable?how abt the exclaimation mark?i read that it is the stock recovery?
Not 100% sure but when i first rooted i tough i also head the exclamation mark even tho i had clockwork mod, did you try to boot in to recovery manually?
its my first time flashing new rom too..i did not try to flash via recovery option as i heard rom manager is safer..so flash via recovery?
Would've been wiser to have read up on everything before rooting
well,i did read up before rooting..still new to all these..i googled my problem and cant seem to find solution..
If you had read up you'd know how to flash a custom ROM as guides include both at the same time. Go read the rooting guide in the Dev section, covers everything you need to know
ok i am back from more reading..pls correct me if i m wrong..
some users had the same error as me...exclamation mark when booting into recovery..a suggestion was to flash cwm again in rom manager as sometimes it does stick when using unrevoked root method?
earlier, i managed to brick my defy by first deleting google talk and then using terminal emulator to push the google talk back in system apps.
after flashing a stock sbf through rsdlite, i got my phone working again. my problem started when i flashed another rom (followed instructions from pay's rom tutorial). i was able to flash the sbf file, then root using superoneclick, then install clockwork mod (downloaded the apk and installed manually). i rebooted after cmw install just to be sure and when rebooting to cm recovery only a blank screen shows. i was puzzled as on m original 2.51 rom before, the clockworkmod recovery screen shows up when i reboot in recovery. i tried installing other stock roms (nordic froyo), the problem still persists (blank screen). it also seems to have affected the standard recovery (volume down+power), after showing the exclamation mark with the android guy, no matter where i press on the screen nothing happens, whereas before pressing on the lower right hand screen brings up the menu. what did i screw up this time?
i needed cm recovery to work for i can't flash custom roms without it. any help would be much appreciated. thanks
I had the same problem with clockworkmod so I installed the 2nd init recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212 and used clockwork mod from its recovery menu.
I think the problem was caused by installing clockwork mod with USB debugging enabled.

so should i try uninstalling clockworkmod and install again? this time un-enabled usb debugging?
what exactly is a 2nd init recovery?do i just flash this over the existing sbf?
sorry for the questions, am still a newbie when flashing defy.
to access stock recovery when the android appears press vol down + up at the same time, my touch screen didnt work in recovery before either
once you can access stock recovery wipe data/factory reset, and flash a new ROM fresh
I rooted my phone sometime back by using CWM and then when i installed the ROM Manager app to see what Recovery is installed and i saw CWM there, But when i reboot my phone using Vol Up + Power + Menu I see the Android recovery screen there , then i installed the TWRP recovery using Odin and restart i see that ROM manager shows that TWRP is installed now but when i reboot back, i dont see the TWRP screen again i see android system recovery screen only, What should i do ? Please Help and tell me if any Info You need As i am a noob so i dont know what information should be provided.....
I used odin to install CWM recovery on SGH-T999 4.1.2 . Then rooted the phone. I also installed Rom Manager with the latest CWM Recovery. I can not get into CWM recovery from either Rom Manager or using the Home/VU/Power buttons combo. It always goes to the Android System Recovery. But if I odin again with no Flags, and pull battery after odin , then I can get into it once by Home/VU/Power. Looks like after 1st boot the other recovery takes over.
I tried removing Rom Manager and installing it , but it did not help. Attahced is the picture of the phone when booting into other Recovery.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I found the fix, when booting in CWM recovery the first time, you have to select YES to over ride the Stock recovery.
