Why does my phone not have a recovery or download option in the power menu? I recently unbricked my phone and i used a stock rom root injected so im on 4.0.4 and I want to flash this camera mod but i dont have a recovery option in the power menu to do it. So i used toolkit to boot into recovery and flash it but it just bricked my phone again. Does my phone not have a real root? Or is it the camera mod?
You're describing a feature normally associated with custom ROMs that's not present in stock.
If you have an alternate recovery (e.g. CWM) installed and want to enter it from a stock ROM, you'll need to use the three finger salute (reboot phone and hold Vol Up + Home + Power at power cycle) to enter recovery.
Download Quick Boot from the Play Store. It has the option to boot into recovery. Also if you have Rom Manager installed it also has the option to reboot into recovery.
Which version of cwm are you using? Have you tty to flash one of the ROM you can find in the development section?

Hey all,
I'm an EVO user. My cousin wanted me to root his G2 last night which we successfully did (permanent root method). We loaded the Virtuous ROM but could not get flash to work so we then loaded the Sillian Sense ROM and shortly after running the ROM LOST ROOT. I wasn't sure if this was due to not flashing the Superuser Patch or not. I had to load all ROMS with ROM Manager as the device is not liking Clockwork Recovery. When I try to wipe cache and Dalvik, It just displays the ROM Manager Icon and does nothing. Can someone please assist? Right now he is running the Sillian ROM as we can not reboot into recovery to load the Stock ROM backup.
So you have s-off when you hold down volume + power at the bootloader?

Found out that you have to use the camera button to make selections in Clockwork Recovery instead of the power button.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With the latest ClockWorkMod recovery (v3.0.0.5) you can also use the trackpad to both scroll and select.
Aha I see

hey guy im new here. good forum.
today i did ENG S-OFF and Radio S OFF to get the new android evolution ROM.
and i got ENG S OFF.
my question:
i cant get to recovery mode. every time i choose recovery it wont let me get in.
it send me again to that little android page.
thanks you very much.
have you installed clockwork mod recovery?
uh what is that? lol
if its in the rom manager so yea i got 3.0.0.5
I have the same problem with a clockwork mod recovery 3.0.0.5
To install that ROM I'm sure you need to use CWM 2.5.1.3. You can flash a older CWM from ROM Manager.
Disable Fast boot in Settings -> Applications then turn of you phone. After it's turned off hold down volume- and power button at the same time and it should go into bootloader and choose recovery from there. Use volume buttons to go up and down and power button to confirm a selection.
thankssss=]
Ok i had a rooted phone,
and installed rom manager it was also flashed to cricket wirelss also.
anyways i decided to try and install the cm7
So i did and before that i made a back up via rom manager app
And so i updated and it installed
and now when i turn on phone
It stays at the cyanogen mod 7 with icon blue icon screen
and circle thing
How do i boot into recovery menu????
I had the latest recovery menu also,
I NEED HELp i just want to restore my backup from before.
First off you should power it off completely, then hold the power button and volume down at the same time. Next, you need to navigate the bootloader and go down(with volume down key) and select recovery with the power key. That should take you to recovery. I hope you made a nandroid before you flash another rom; if you did just restore your nandroid and you should be good to go.

Hi guys, I know this question might sound stupid, but how do I enter the CMW recovery menu?
I tried the Home, Vol Up, and power button, but that gets me into Stock Recovery.
I tried, Home, Vol Down, and power, but that gets me to the upgrade menu.
I have flashed the CMW recovery, and only been able to get into right after the flash by holding down the Vol Up, Home, and power. The phone is rooted with the stock ROM.
Do I have to upload the CMW everytime i want to access it?
You are doing it right with volume up home and power but for some reason your flash is not staying. Try flashing twrp with goo.im and see if that stays.

Download Rom manager from play store an use it to flash recovery. Then do the vol+ menu + power or use the Rom manager to reboot to recovery.

Are you shure you are rooting right? Did you use odin to root, make shure that when rooting you dont let odin reboot your s3 after root remove battery put back, then press vol up vol down and power, after it vivrated let go, now u should be in cwr, now flash super su. If you let odin reboot ur s3, then you will not have root. And b back to stock recovery.

cwm not staying
If you have the stock ICS version, it erases and overwrites the CWM recovery every time you reboot.
Might be a good time to check Triangle Away at the same time. I believe each time you install the CWM Recovery it ticks the change counter too.
You will need to rename or delete these two files.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
use root explorer to rename them
I have succesfully modded my s3 with root access, however since applying a rom, i can no longer get to clockwork by pressing power, home, volume up
do i have to run Odin everytime i want to install a new mod?
thanks
Just to make sure.. when you are trying to access recovery you press vol up + home, while holding those also press and hold power. that should get you in. don't press power first.

Having root doesn't give you clockworkmod recovery. You need to install clockworkmod or another recovery. Depending on what root you did may only give you root on the 3e recovery (stock recovery). Plus you should be able to get into recovery with the method above whether it is stock 3e recovery or cwm recovery.

You can download rom manager from the play store, Which is cwm's app. I also use Powertool from the play store to reboot into recovery and download, makes it a million times easier.
