Clockwork Recovery ends up in red question mark

After installing ROM Manager and ofcourse the ClockworkMod Recovery tool i always end up with a black screen and a red question mark when i push "Reboot into Recovery".
I have to download again the ClockworkMod Recovery tool will it work, but after a reboot i end up in the same story as above. Tried to download old versions of it, but i get an error message when i try to do that.
Softwarenr: 1.15.405.4
Radio: Latest leaked version 5X
Anyone an idea what is going on?

have you installed the latest recovery? go to rom manager and at the very bottom theres a 'other clockwork recoverys' button and from there download the latest one and after that should be fine

When i get this problem i go onto my sdcard and in the clockworkmod folder i delete any downloaded recoveries. Then i redownload the latest and it works fine.

I have downloaded the newest version from day one. When i download it, after that it works, but after a reboot or two, it goes down again and i have to download it again. Not that it's a real serious problem, but i do like a Android without bugs

i think that you must fake-flash it....when in re triangle press VolUP + POWER and flash update.zip then you should be in your recovery

[Q] CWM recovery bootloop and can't get out

The events that transpired:
1. Installed stock NF9 via Effortless guide.
2. Booted into stock & all aspects where upgraded to NF9
3. Installed CF-Auto-Root via Odin
4. Installed philz touch 6.12.8
5. Attempted to boot into Recovery and it rebooted itself
6. Installed TWRP included in Effortless guide
7. Booted into TWRP. The recovery was behaving oddly and it took about 10 minutes just to get to the next step.
8. Installed HyperDrive RLS4
9. Booted into HyperDrive
10. Installed ROM Manager and installed the latest CWM Touch
11. SuperSU updated it binaries and I accidentally told it to do it in TWRP/CWM.
Now I am in an eternal bootloop. I have tried to boot into download mode with no success. I have removed the batteries and waited hours (not an exaggeration) and it still attempts to boot into recovery on its own over and over again. Can any give me some more ideas to try to fix this? Thanks!!!

Here is a sure way to solve the issue you are having with bootlooping and root.
#1: Odin flash cf-autoroot, here is the direct download link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
#2: Odin flash twrp recovery, here is the direct download link:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/45687485/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Odin flash the cf-autoroot first.
You were not using the latest official version of twrp recovery, and
you must have used either an old version or a pre-release beta.
Once you are done doing the above you will no longer have bootloop and root issues.
Don't use rom manager for anything in the future if you want to avoid
these kinds of issues. The latest firmwares and custom roms do not play
nicely with rom manager.
Also philz touch recovery is not fully compatible with these newer firmwares and roms.
Good luck!

Here is the problem: I cannot get into download mode. I have held volume up+home+power and any combination of buttons and it just keeps trying to boot into a broken recovery. I have also plugged it into my computer and it doesnt communicate to it at all (makes sense, since it never boots into anything). I need to be able to reset my bootloader or force the bootloader into download mode.

Try removing the battery and while holding down the three button combo insert battery. With luck it'll go into D/L mode.

Can't manage to install Ubuntu Touch on recent Nexus 7 (2013)

Hello there,
So I recently got a new Nexus 7 (2013)
At first I couldn't manage to root it, install a custom rom or anything because of errors in recovery.
Then I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7-2013/nexus-7-2013-qa/mount-recovery-t3064562
It explains that the recents Nexus 7 (2013) are little bit different than the original ones and the only way to root and install a custom rom is to get MultiRom.
I finally managed to root, install a cyanogenmod thanks to MultiRom and actually right now I'm back on stock rom.
Now I'm trying to install Ubuntu touch.
Simple steps:
1) Get to stock android (rooted), open the MultiRom app.
2) Check MultiRom v32a, Recovery 2015-06-30, Kernel: Stock 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 then press Install (it reboots into recovery)
3) After the installation in recovery, back to MultiRom app on Stock Android, select Ubuntu Touch version and press Install (reboots into recovery).
4) GJ, done.
But here's the steps I have to do:
1) Get to stock android (rooted), open the MultiRom app.
2) Check Recovery 2015-06-30 then press install (it reboots into recovery)
3) Into recovery make an Android backup then reboot to Android.
4) Open the MultiRom app on Android, check MultiRom v32.a then press install (it reboots into recovery)
5) Here I have to restore the folder "boot" from my backup in TWRP, else it's stuck in a loop and can't boot again to Android but only to recovery.
After restoring, reboot to Android, Multirom v32a installed in the MultiRom app but still have the "Kernel: doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch!"
6) So I'm doing the same as 4) but with "kernel Stock 5.0.1 and 5.0.2" checked instead of MultiRom v32a, doing the reboot into recovery.
7) ??
When it boots from "Internal" it automatically going back to recovery instead of Stock Android, and if I restore the "boot" folder from backup and get back to Android then Kernel isn't installed and still have that "Kernel: doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch!"
I can press install on Ubuntu Touch and try to boot but I guess because I still have that error, it's stuck on Google logo and don't boot either.
Later I found this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puvPOEIxpPU
This is what I'm doing (except that I can't check the 3 boxes at the same time in MultiRom app because of that recovery bootloop)
I really hope that someone have an idea of how it can be done / where's is the issue or something, would be glad to get some help

TWRP+ROOT for Marshmallow 6.0.1 S6 G9208 (Taiwan Version)

So its been a long time since we wait for root on our S6 Taiwan Version Latest version 6.0.1
Today I flashed my phone to the latest official version of Taiwan 6.0.1 G9208ZTU2DPD1, flashed the TWRP then via TWRP flashed SUPERSU and finally got root. I just got these from a chinese site apk.tw
So first we should download on our pc :
1-The latest official rom for taiwan from this direct link or from sammobile.com
HTML:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B15wMPEgxdTjR1dsY1VWTEZYWHM/view
2-Odin
3-TWRP
HTML:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B15wMPEgxdTjZ09RSElKUEJOOWc/view
Now we must follow these steps to
Flash the official Marshmallow
-Extract (unzip) the firmware file
-Open Odin
-Add the firmware file to AP
-Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
-Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
-Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
-Click start and after it finishes wait till it reboots to Marshmallow
After it boots up download the latest SuperSu from Chainfire
HTML:
https://download.chainfire.eu/960/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.72-20160510112018.zip
Go back to Download Mode (pressing and holding Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Now we flash the TWRP
-Open Odin
-Add the TWRP file to AP
-Click start and wait till it reboots
To get root rights we do those final steps
Turn off the phone
Press and hold Home + Power + Volume Up buttons to enter recovery
Since its chinese in the first screen you just need to slide
After you slide go to Download
Select BETA-SuperSU-v2.72-20160510112018.zip
Slide it again
And touch the button to the right to reboot
Once ur phone boots up u should be rooted
any question feel free to ask
It would be nice if our developers can manage to give us a english twrp theme or even better a official twrp for our phone, anyway we thank them
Cheers

Thank you ,
how to set selinux selinux permissive ?

Unable to get TWRP running
I have a chinese version SM-G9208 (never buy android in China since it doesn't come with any google services or apps).
Previously, I was able to root and install gapps. Unfortunately something happened a month ago and it was bootlooping.
I have been able to reinstall the official Android 6.0.1 using Smart Switch.
I have succeeded in rooting but have not been able to get TWRP install. I want to flash gapps.
I have tried using Odin and the files from TWRP website, I have tried the offical TWRP app and the TWRP manager app, and various versions of TWRP for zeroflte such as twrp-3.0.2 to twrp-2.8.6.
Using I get the recovery is not SEAndroind enforcing or I get caught in a bootloop. Once i saw the TWRP recovery screen but the screen was frozen.
I have read as many forum entries as I can to find a solution.
It looks like TWRP is the most likely candidate to be able to flash gapps. How can I get twrp to work? Is there an alternative to get gapps installed, most of the "installer" apks I have tried to not work.
Any have any success at this?
I should mention, the taiwan ROM does not work for Chinese phones as expected

Just got custom recovery, where do I go from here for Nexus5x v6.0, can't find info

so I have the custom recovery TWRP v 2.8.7.2 and I was looking at SuperSU however I couldn't find accurate up to date information on versions compatible with my device. (marshmallow 6.0)....can someone point me in the right direction?

Here's a link for the list of available TWRP versions: https://dl.twrp.me/bullhead/
Download the newest version (3.0.2-2) and flash it to your phone.
Here's a link for SuperSU: www.supersu.com
Download that and flash it to your phone in TWRP.

thanks. I am working on trying to get xposed to work... so far the installer doesnt seem to open up. just downloads and I cant open
