Hello,
I rooted my new e986 and installed cwm succesfully.
Now i dont know which button combination are required to boot into the recovery.
The only way i got into the cwm is through the rom manager. (Extra installed it to test if the recovery works)
So before i install cm10.2 i wanted to know how to boot into the cwm to restore my image if something goes wrong.
On my s3 and xperia z i hadnt problems with booting the recovery.
Odin89
edit: its working now. After several tries with Power + Vol Up + Home it works sometimes
CWM Manual keys
Yes, booting into the recovery can be a bit touchy with CWM. Try to release the keys JUST as soon as the first LG disappears from the screen and you should get recovery about 90% of the time...

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
Hey.
Just rooted an Arc S via Eroot, installed Rom manager and CWM and booted into recovery via Rom manager.
I then wiped everything (data/cache/dalvik) and installed SuperJellyBean Rom + Arc S Update + Gapps. I then wanted to reboot the phone, but I'm stuck at the bootscreen.
I googled and searched the forums, but I have no luck. No Key combination would work (Menu + Power gets that little light flashig blue briefly, but that's all) I'm always stuck with the "Sony Ericsson" boot logo.
Can anyone help? :crying:
Did you flash the correct kernel for SJB?
僕のLT18iから送られてきた
Bootloader was obviously still locked :angel:I unlocked it via Fastboot, and also flashed a new kernel (Fusion 5.4) that has CWM included.
Now I'm stuck with the Fusion boot logo :victory: Any more ideas what to do?
Is there anyway of flashing a *.zip rom via USB (Flash mode = Back button + Cable)?
EDIT: Finally solved it, though i admittedly don't really know how. Just wanted to plug the phone back into the USB in fastboot mode (menu button + cable) and suddenly i was in the CWM. I re-flashed the Rom, Patch, and gapps and everything works perfectly now.
Hello there, I'm a bit new to this, but I wanted to try flashing a custom rom. I was using So I chose Carbonn 4.4.4 rom. Prior to that I installed doomslord CMW recovery 6.0.30 and did a backup of my Rom. Then I booted into recovery, wiped the data and flashed the carbonn Rom. Everything went fine, then I realized I hadn't flashed the gapps. So I rebooted my phone into recovery (Pressing the volume up button at the 'sony' logo). However it doesn't boot into recovery. The led light turns blue and it's stuck on the Sony logo. The only way to get out of it is the power down the device manually by pressing the power button and volume up button.
Rebooting into recovery only causes this problem. Otherwise it boots normally into the carbon Rom. How do I restore my backup? Since I can't boot into recovery?

The latest Carbon ROM has recovery which doesn't work on Our phone. Follow the procedure here to flash a working recovery.
Tried that but cant seem to work. Besides it requires busy box to be installed which I cant seem to install. Any apk for that matter cant be installed. It shows "Cant open file"

if You are on latest version of carbon, You wouldn't need to root as the ROM is pre rooted. Are You sure Your apk file are good? Because in any case, You must be able to install at least an apk file. Did You try messing with the ROM before?
I'm running CM12. For some reason I can only access recovery thru the button method. When I try the expanded power menu (reboot recovery) or QuickBoot (recovery) I get the LG logo, a long wait, then a blank screen, then LG logo again, then the Rom starts. I'm currently on 4.2.2 boot. Thanks.
Hmm, no idea. It works for me. Do you have this problem since your first installation of CM 12 or only in newer nightlies? Do you have Xposed installed?
I am running android 4.2.2 on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duo
I have recently rooted my phone with superSU
And I am trying to install an unofficial version of lollipop 5.1.1
When I press Volume Up + Home + Power to get into CWM it says "Unknown Command" and takes me to the default recovery menu.
I can get into CWM by putting my phone in download mode and flashing it with ODIN temponarly.
And when i go to wipe data on CWM, it doesn't say yes anywhere, it just shows 5 no's
I have tried scrolling up and down with the volume keys but had no luck.
What im looking for is just how do i get the no's to say yes
Can anyone please help me quickly?
I have rooted many phones but never worked with CWM or custom ROMS
Thanks

Flash custom recovery using odin and when the phone is done and restarts IMMEDIATELY press vol up+home to enter recovery. Otherwise custom recovery wont be installed
use TWRP, way better than CWM.
