My last phone was an Evo 4G that was flashed an insane amount of times. One of the nice things about being rooted was most roms had a restart menu that included the recovery and bootloader menu. Is there some reason why we can't do this for our e4gt? Press power button get two more choices asking to boot into recovery or download mode.

Depends on the ROM. some roms have it while some don't. you can always get a quick boot app and choose what you need to boot into.
Thanks. Just added that app now. Btw, there was a mod zip that you could flash to add that to any rom you like on the Evo.

I'm stuck on the Clockwork Mod recovery screen. Due to an issue detailed here, the gist of which was accidentally installing a kernel designed for the international Galaxy S2, I no longer can use my home and menu keys, and therefore cannot select anything on the Clockwork recovery screen (i.e. "power off"). Removing and replacing the battery just restarts the phone and takes me back to the Clockwork screen. Any help is appreciated!
Regards,

use vol up and vol down to navigate. Power to select

If so just flash the stock kernel or rom.

yea that will work. i flashed an international version to and the recovery didnt work.
flashing stock thru odin worked fine.
This is something I put together for those of us that like to switch recoveries.
Classic Clockworkmod recovery
Touch Clockworkmod recovery
TWRP (RZrecovery)
Although this is tested and "safe" to do... DON'T BRICK YOUR NS4G
(we may have to remind you this phone has a one click return to stock)
INSTRUCTIONS:
(Must be Rooted, bootloader unlocked with drivers installed.)
1. On PC, download the zip file from
(1/31/12)
http://www.mediafire.com/?3v66vx2t777q56z
(1/29/12)
http://www.mediafire.com/?58x7lmaoizmt1z6
2. extract and open "Nexus S 4G Recoveries" file.
3. Plug phone into your computer
4. Click on the recovery you want to flash.
5. Follow the instructions.
6. Enjoy!
I DON'T DESERVE ANY CREDIT FOR ANY RECOVERY ITSELF!!!
All I did was make the .bat files.
I will follow this thread to answer any questions
If you would like me to make batch files for any of your favorite recoveries that I haven't included, just let me know.
(Shameless plug)
If you want to support me, download apps from LOOSID LYFE DEVELOPMENT on the google market.

Why is this easier than just flashing from one recovery to another?

I put all those lines of code in a batch file, included 3 recoveries, adb and fastboot all in one place . One click is easier than typing out all that code and may be more simple for newer or less experienced users. I hope I've answered your question.

Why not just do it in cwm recovery. A few clicks and you have a recovery back on your device.

I'm not sure how you would flash a different recovery from recovery mode as you need to do that from fastboot. If all you want is classic Clockworkmod recovery than you don't need these switchers. I've made batch files for the new touch version of CWM and RZ recovery, as well as the classic CWM recovery.

Ibleedandroid, Thank you for the file for the touch CWM. I have been wanting this since i'd first seen it in the portal a couple weeks back or maybe not even that long. All touch recoverys rock and since the twrp2.0 stopped working on my phone I was pist. It kept erroring out when backign up my boot partition. But ever other recovery works fine. Thanks for this gem man it works great. And your flashing tool I give a 5 stars too man very nice indeed.

I go back and forth between cwm and twrp and I do it from recovery not fastboot. However I've never heard of rz.

What zip program do you use? I suggest 7zip. You can download for free.

Just use flash image GUI. Its free of his site. And you can do it from your phone. No computer required. And I used it for the touch recovery.

Those things require some changes to framework I think. You can install quick boot from the play store and get the same thing though.
Quick Boot does need root access though.
EDIT: Sorry, reread your post and you mentioned you were already rooted. I am rooted using Quick Boot on stock rom and it works great.
Thanks guys! Good enough for now! Wonder if I can program the power button to run quick boot on press?

Hello,
I think my note 2 is rooted, coz I see the superSU app.
I want to go into recovery manually, what is the key combinations to get ito CWM.
My reason for doing so, is that I opened Rom manager and I don't see a recovery for t-mobile note 2, I see an S3 for Metro PCS and other recoveries. I want to manually go into recovery, to see/verify if there is a recovery that got flashed when I rooted it.
thank you in advance
Volume up, home & power. You can also download quick boot from the market

yes!! it worked. it says recovery is v6.0.1.4
Obvously rom manager was not able to see the recovery, bcoz rom manager says that I don't have a recovery flashed!
what are you guys using to replace rom manager?
I did a duma$$ move. I flashed a rom on top of a different rom without wiping.
- Phone boots up
- Boot animation displays
- Freezes on 'Android' Screen
- Does not go into Recovery
- Does not go into Download mode
- PC doesn't see it, but pc makes a sound when I plug it in, and drivers attempt to install when I plug in to pc (fail)
- Kies takes a while but I got "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0. Please try again'
Any and all help is appreciated.

That's what I meant lol sorry about that... At least you knew what I was talking about. The tool kit got my phone into download when nothing else would. It worked even when adb wouldn't Thankfully I only has that problem one time

if you got into download mode and odin'ed back to stock and it gets stuck on the "samsung with the blue logo behind it" boot screen than you have to go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache there and reboot, i had the same problem earlier but mine could get into recovery and download mode but it wouldnt wipe the data it would just turn off whenever i tried to

How'd you do that? I might have the same situation.
to get into the stock recovery you hold volume up and home and the power button at the same time, use the volume keys to move up and down and power button to select than wipe data and cache and reboot
