I broke my phone, now it's back. I rooted it, installed CWM again, and I'm running into trouble. When I try to boot into recovery through Rom Manager, it asks if I'm sure I want to, I hit ok, and it doesn't do anything.

Try a hard reset into recovery. See if that works.
Launch stock recovery, go to install update.zip and hit the home button. Should get you to clockwork.

How do I do the hard reset? Sorry, I'm new to the phone.
Shut your phone off. Hold volume up, down, and the screen on/off button at the same time until the "samsung" comes up on the screen. From there your phone will boot into the stock recovery. Use your volume up/down buttons to navigate the menu, scroll to install "update.zip" then select if by pushing the home button. From there you should boot into clockwork.

It starts installing, then says
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Sounds like you might have deleted the update.zip file that is needed to launch CW from your SD card.
Go back to this post to either start from the beginning or to just download the file and put it back on your sd card:

Last I knew, one click root no longer worked on the Fascinate after the 2.2 update. Are you wanting to stay stock and just root or are you planning on moving on to one of the custom ROMs. I believe all the custom ROMs contain root so no need to root before going to one of them unless you want to root to use titanium backup to backup all your apps. If that is the case or you want to stay stock and just root the just flash CWM in ODIN, then flash the su + busybox file in CWM.
Download these files:
ODIN
CWM-recovery-all-3-30-fix
su-2.3.6.1 + busybox 1.19
ODIN and CWM files stay on computer, su + busybox file gets placed on phone sd card
Double click the ODIN file to open ODIN
Power down phone and pull battery
Hold volume down button while plugging phone into usb cord connected to pc
Yellow triangle will appear on phone and furthest left rectangle on ODIN will change to yellow
Click PDA button, find CWM file and double click on it, click Start button, should take 7 seconds
Close ODIN, unplug USB cord, put battery in phone but don't power on
Hold volume up, volume down, and power buttons until samsung logo flashes twice
As soon as samsung logo appears for second time, let go of all three buttons
You should be in CWM, volume buttons to scroll to "install zip from sd card", hit power button
Scroll to "choose zip from sd card", power button
Find the su + busybox file, scroll to it, power button
Scroll to Yes, power button
When that finishes, soft menu key until you are back at the main CWM menu where "Reboot system now" will be highlighted, power button to reboot phone, and you are rooted.

2 questions. 1, does the work on the new OTA? 2, does this wipe the phone?
Friend did the OTA, and it broke root. Need to find a way to root without clearing out the phone.
Thanks

No, this will not clear data. It merely establishes root and flashes a custom recovery, CWM. Haven't tried rooting from the newest OTA.
In my infinite wisdom, I tried to create my own custom theme, and in the process totally screwed myself.
I was using Infected 3.5 as my ROM with the Anthrax Kernel and everything was peachy. I tried to make an install a custom lock ring...and got all jacked up. Basically my phone turns on, goes to my wallpaper and does nothing else. I have a status bar up top, but it wont pull down, and none of the buttons on the phone work at all. Holding down the power button in order to get to the reboot menu does nothing. OH, when I do reboot, the phone asks me to allow access to Sense????
How do I get back into the recovery console to reflash the phone? thanks in advance
Remove the battery, then press and hold the power button + volume down. Then choose recovery, and re-flash the rom/kernel.
adb reboot recovery

That's what I recommend
I'm a bit of a noob at terminology and android settings so try to bear with me...
I'm running a deodexed vzw CleanRom v1.6.5 and I've downloaded TWRP recovery via gooManager. (Yes I've installed the recovery script from it.) Back when I had a stock rom, when I held the power + the volume up button it would go into TWRP recovery fine. But now (I don't know if it's CleanRom's fault) when I start up the phone into recovery mode using the shortcut the blue text would appear but it would restart normally.
My stock backup was corrupted for some reason and it softbricked my phone so I had to odin flash and go through all that rooting process again before restoring from my CleanRom backup via TWRP. So I don't really want to go back to stock, but I guess I can download a stock one if I really need to.
I can still enter TWRP by going into gooManager and pressing reboot recovery from there. Any solution to this?
I'm also on CleanRom 1.6.5 and it works for me... Vol up+power
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
To get mine to boot to recovery while phone is off I have to hold volume + and menu key at the same time. Then hit the power button until it vibrates then let go of the power button. If I keep holding the power button then the blue writing is displayed but instead of going into recovery it just reboots. However if I only hit the power button and release when it vibrates and I am still holding the volume + and menu key then it will boot to twrp recovery.
Alright, I'm feeling pretty foolish.
It was a simple user error that I really hate to admit. If I hold down the volume up and the power button and keep holding down both, the phone restarts as normal. But I should be letting go of the power button when the phone vibrates, while holding down the volume up button keeps it loading into the recovery mode. Don't know why I didn't have that problem before. I attempted Travis' idea first then experimented a little without the menu button and it worked fine.
Thanks.
Glad you got it figured out. :good:

True and that is what he said he has been doing. However what if you flash something and you get a boot loop. You can pull the battery and try again but if it boot loops again you will need to be able to get to your recovery with a non booting phone. That is why it is important to know how to boot the phone into recovery with out the need of any apps.

Precisely my thought process. I knew that at some time I'm bound to softbrick my phone again and I needed to boot recovery from startup.
Edit: I figured this out... I had to hold volume up and down at the same time while powering up. Also the phone needs to be unplugged. IF its plugged in it will go to Download mode instead of recovery.
Hello,
I recently Went from the stock ATT rom to CM 10.2, and then to Omni.
I can not access CWM recovery by powering the phone on while holding volume up... Ive also tried holding the soft home key.
The only way I can get into recovery is to open ROM manager and choose reboot to recovery. This scares me because if my rom goes haywire I may not have any way to get back into the recovery.
I have already tried re flashing CWM
any ideas?
Quick Boot
You can download the app "Quick Boot" from the Play Store, which has the option to reset into recovery (and many other options)
Hey everyone (Again),
So i managed to unlock the bootloader and everything went smoothly but I flashed my recovery i can't get into it now it comes up with an error message everytime i try to get into recovery it says ' Your software cannot be checked for corruption' any way to get rid of this or do i have to re- lock the bootloader just to fix it and get recovery working.
Thanks again.
Anyone?

That's not an error message, that's the message you'll see every bit if you unlock the bootloader. Do NOT relock your bootloader after installing custom recovery. Also to get into recovery (provided you installed it correctly and it wasn't erased after it booted info Android) is to turn your phone off (or pull battery) and then hold volume down & power button, one you see the LG logo let go of the power button only (still hold volume down) for about 1 second and then press the power button again and hope (never let go of volume down). It will ask you if you want to reset your phone, select yes two times and you will enter TWRP. If it actually resets your phone, TWRP isn't installed. Usually after installing TWRP you need to pull battery then use above method to boot into recovery, mount system partition and use TWRP file manner to delete come named "recovery from boot.p". You can also go ahead and install SuperSU or magisk (use magisk if you need to be able to pass safety net). Hopefully this helps you, also next time please include what model phone you have and what steps exactly you did as it's easier for others to attempt to help you.
Mines a H850 running nougat as well but thats the only thing it wont boot to recovery because when i hold down the volume down button and the power button the lg logo shows up but then after 4 seconds that google message will pop up and that gets in the way of doing the method to get onto recovery thats my problem

You have to follow exactly what I posted earlier. If you do that, it will show the factory reset screen which is you have TWRP installed, it will not into TWRP.
1) Power off phone
2) Press and hold volume down (do not let go until you see factory reset screen)
3) Press and hold power button, when you see LG logo, let go of power button for 1 second and then press and hold again.
If you do not follow step 3, you'll never be able to boot to recovery using button combo, it will just go to that message and then boot into Android.

Thanks for that! I got it working cheers
I'm actually having a similar issue too.
To clarify, I'm using a LG G5 (h830 variant) that is running resurrection remix.
I remember getting into recovery just to flash the updated modem and bootloader zips so I can fix the issue with powering off the device.
Now I noticed after doing that, I cannot get into recovery either with rebooting or with the button combo.
Thankfully I am rooted with magisk and this is probably the first time that I encountered this issue.
I don't want to further risk anything (because my phone is set up and don't want to lose any data) but would flashing twrp through the official app work just fine?

I know this is old,Just wanted to say thank it worked for me...
Been a while since I used LG and never with official bootloader unlock so I was thrown off by resetting to recovery as at first i never had the lg screen just the bootloader warning start
For those T-Mo G5 (H830) with unlocked bootloader, you will not see any LG logo. Once you see the lcd backlight comes on, immediately release the power button and press it again, all the while holding down the vol down button.
When you see the bootloader unlocked phone is unsafe msg by LG on the screen, it will already be too late and past the stage where you can boot to recovery. Simply power down and redo in that case.
(Needed to do the above as the latest Magisk 20.0 broke root and adb on H830, thus there was no way to get into recovery other than using the physical buttons. The Magisk Canary version of 20.1 works though.)
