Help! I have trouble using clockwork recovery

Hello,
And yes, my phone is fine still running on stock rom, but I have trouble when using rom manager and booting into the recovery to load another rom, I seem to get the android monster with a attention side beside him, this happens when I sellect any option. I just rooted my phone so I am quite dissapointed. My HBoot version is 0.93 . Also when starting the phone while pressing the volume down button I get to the menu but how am I to get to the clockwork recovery menu? Any ideas how to fix the issue?
Thanks in advance!

Boot into HBOOT, select 'Recovery', you're now in Clockwork Mod
Easy

Thaank you, but when I select any option in the clockwork recovery menu I get that android monster picture and a attention sign. The only way to go back would be to press the power button. Any ideas?

[Q] How do I get SU back? I broke it...

After flashing a JB rom and a corresponding JB Super SU zip this morning, I accidentally uninstalled the Super SU thinking I had a different SU app already. Turns out I didn't, and now I don't know how to get it back. I flashed the SU zip again in recovery, didn't work. But now nothing requiring root access works, so I can't even get back into recovery as far as I can tell. What do I do to get root back?
UPDATE: No matter what kind of weird things you may have done to your GNex, if you happened to have screwed up your SU abilities somehow, these next few posts will most likely help to guide you. I screwed mine all up to hell, and these guys helped me remember what was going on and what to do to fix it.

Reflash the ROM.
Try getting into fastboot, through the volume and power keys when the device is shutdown.
Happened to me before, that was the only solution.

you can download the superuser app from the market

Duh. That was easily the dumbest thing I've done this week. Funny the things we forget to be easy if we hardly ever do them.

I DID IT AGAIN!!
I didn't learn my lesson, and kept screwing around with the super user apps, and I ended up removing the super user binary. (what is wrong with me?) So this is a little more serious... Now what do I do?
I'm not a noob rooter (rooted my OG Droid 2 years ago and kept up with development, now the same with my GNex) but I guess I somehow got around having to deal with SU issues the whole time.

Do you have CWM installed? If so, just flash this in recovery.

That's all I use, but I can't get to recovery. I'm running stock JB rom, so there's no option to reboot into recovery from the power menu, and since I don't have super user, no app can get the permission to reboot into recovery either. I can power down and boot into the bootloader (or whatever that is) holding the volume down and power buttons, but I don't see how that helps.

power off the phone

if you can get to the bootloader, scroll using the volume keys to get to 'recovery mode' and select that. that is recovery and you should hopefully have CWM or TWRP still installed.
bah... blowtorch is faster

Once your at the bootloader, you should have the choice to boot from there into recovery, though it's been a while since I've done it that way so cannot give you the exact steps. You should be able to use the volume keys to highlight the recovery option and then press the power button to choose it, I believe.
But you may have lost CWM, since JB could have over-written it. If so, you'll need to use fastboot to re-install it, after which you can use CWM to apply an SU zip from your internal SD card.

Thank you blowtorch, Zepius, and high vista! It was having both vol buttons pressed that I had completely forgotten about. That solves the problem and dams up a flood of questions that could have been had I not gotten that minor detail in.

New Problem

Today I installed advanced task killer/manag er from the market as my phone was acting up lately. I set security to low and task killer to run when the screen is off. I rebooted and now im stuck on the white htc screen. I tried pulling the battery several timesand rebooting but still no boot. I cant boot into recovery because my volume down switch stopped working in the past week. Is the re any way around this I only have 1 phone and really need it working. Thanks in advance.

Not sure, one day it worked and next day it didn't. Volume up works but volume down doesn't, the trackpad has also stopped working. The phone was ok before doing a reboot with the task killer.

Ok that's weird :S
Try press harder on the volume down or like hold the tumb on the minus symbol so it covers more then the minus symbol and push hard then hold the power button when it is off, it should boot in recovery.

While phone is off press back button + power. That takes u to fastboot then use fastboot commands to boot recovery

I managed to boot into recovery but because the trackpad isnt working I cant select any options. This is damn frustrating. I should have installed a touch recovery. What are my options now?

I can scroll through recovery options using vol+ but I cant select any options. Im using clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.0. Is there another way to select by any chance.

Had a major stroke of luck this morning. While frantically trying all combinations of button pushes while in recovery a notification appeared that the back button had been activated with menu functions. The search button then acted as a select button like the trackpad. I was able to reflash my rom without losing any data or apps. :laugh: Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. That was a close one.

Yay, I were just going to say that, that you can use the trackball or whatever it is called, you know between back and menu button. You can navigate there too

Bad flash...Hboot but no use of volume keys..

Flashed BlackIce from a bad link and was stuck with a black screen. Im able to get to the Hboot menu but once there the volume keys do not work. Hit the power button and given option to install splash and volume keys work for that choice but not much help...
How do I fix this mess without being able to get into recovery but with the use of my laptop?
Kind of heated since this is the first fudged download Ive had in a year....
TIA

[Q] Touch Recovery for HTC Wildfire?

My HTC Wildfire's trackball has broke. WHICH IS HORRIBLE NEWS!!!! This means I cannot install custom ROM's which I loving doing (for some reason). I cannot use the Recovery because to select something, I need the trackball, which is stupid, and installing through ROM Manager doesn't work all the time. Is there any stable TOUCH recovery for Buzz out there? Please tell me, else, this Willy is useless. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
I am running:
Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 (6 because 7 is too buggy and 6 is smooth)
ROM Manager (Up to date, but installing ROMs doesn't work)
Clockworkmod 3.x (x because I can't remember exactly)
Thanks!
- Ikram232
EDIT: I don't need a TOUCH recovery, I need at least a recovery that doesn't require a trackball. I don't care how old it is, as long as it install custom ROMs!

Clockwork mod version 5.x x x+ has a thing built in where you can scroll up and down using menu and home, using power to select things instead of power being the back button. If you I stall it and then hit the buttons a few times it should enable stating "back button enabled"

No luck, installed the official ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 and you can move about with the volume rocker and HOME to go up and MENU to go down. BACK and SEARCH just makes it go back to the top of the menu and the POWER switch just hides the menu and show the background. That was a fail! Anything else? Or is the phone done for?
EDIT: it might be the one I install, do you have a link to the one that you had/have?
