Can't seem to google or find a thread for this. Don't want CWM recovery anymore, flashed back to 1.83 but it doesn't look like the recovery was restored since it just gives me an exclamation mark when I try to go into it.
Wondering where I can find the stock 1.83 recovery sbf or fastboot compatible file?
Based on your description you probably have the correct recovery. Push just above the screen in the lower right and corner. This will trigger the recovery menu to come up. But if you still feel that you don't have the recovery image then follow below.
Recovery image in the link below.
http://www.multiupload.com/B7KJJ8NISC
1. Boot into fastboot
2. moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (See below **)
3. moto-fastboot reboot
When system comes back up do:
1. adb reboot recovery (this will validate the bootloader took the recovery image)
**Use whatever moto-fastboot variety you need.
Good luck,

deleted. double post.
Looks like I was too stupid to remember to touch the corner of the screen to get in past the exclamation mark. All is well.

I've rooted and unlocked my MoPho as of now.
I've attempted to flash joker and romracer's recovery.
However, when I go to check to see how CWM is doing, I only get 4 options:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Both of the videos I have watched show other options such as backup's and such. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, and any help would be appreciated!
Which clockwork are you using?
I have used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143
and the
AIO root
The standard cwm (The one from market) gives me all the options.
However, when I try to flash jokers or romracers cwm recovery I just get the 4 basic options again.
Fastboot erase recovery and then use fasboot to install the new, one romracers or jokers your choice. If flashing CM9 id use Jokers.
That is the method I attempted to flash both of them with.
I still get the triangle with the arrow and the android by it that I have to press both the up and down volume buttons to show the recovery screen.

Thats the stock recovery.. You ARE unlocked correct? and you flashed it by putting phone into fastboot and with CMD pushing the new recovery?
Yes, I do believe I am unlocked.
Root check shows that I am rooted
Upon boot the phone says, "unlocked"
Yes, I am using the CMD prompt to attempt to flash, following qbking's video instructions.
Edit: Also, the CMD prompt says it has completed the recovery flash.
So you did all this below?
"moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img"
and it came back saying
"sending 'recovery' (4780 KB)... OKAY [ 0.490s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.544s]"
If so id to redownload the recovery.img and try again..
That worked, at first.
Upon first boot up I was greeted with the right recovery module.
When I went restarted to flash my ROM I was brought back to the original Android Recovery.
Edit: Should I flash on first boot up or should I wait until I can get the recovery to stick?
You have to go into the files and rename the stock recovery to ".bak" to make the new one stick. If I can find the link again, I will post it , or you can Google it? I think that's how I found it to begin with.
Thanks, that worked!
I am unlocked and rooted. I checked with a root check app and it says i am...
Not sure if this has already been posted, but whenever i flash Romracer's cmw5 I can only boot into CWM Recovery under one condition. And that is:
Right after I type "fastboot reboot" and hold the volume down button right as it's rebooting. From here, when I select Android recovery, i can boot into CWM. Any other times, I.E. If i let the phone boot up to the point where I can make phone calls.and other stuff and power down afterwards and try to boot into CWM via Android recovery, the android with the exclamation pops up. At which point, I have to re-flash CWM every time.
Also, I finally found recovery-install.sh, however whenever i try to select it with astro file manager, it says "activity not found" or something like that and won't let me delete it. Does this have any effect on not being able to boot into CWM Recovery?
Thanks for the help, having to reflash CWM is annoying.
PS: I downloaded the file "Blue 5.0.2.7-atrix5 / ZIP version" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 and the file name saved as
"recovery-blue-atrix5.img". So when I type it into the command prompt, I would actually type the exact command of
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-blue-atrix5.img". I know the directions say that the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img" Is there any chance that my problem is resulting from this discrepancy in the file name?
Update: I found the CWM boot method inside CM7 itself and it works. Does this mean i'm scott free? Or should i continue to try and delete
"recovery-install.sh"?
If you have that file in /etc, it should be deleted. You don't need to use a file manager for that, a terminal or adb will do.
hello, I can't reboot into recovery. I am on th3bills kernel v 2.6.32.59 and aokp 4.1.2. I attempted to install th3bill's recovery and now when I try to boot into recovery the phone stops at the m logo. If I remove the battery the phone boots fine. I can get into fastboot, however i can't flash any recovery it just states no problem. I am having issues with my rom and would like to reflash. I have searched XDA and the web for solutions and have found helpful tips but none have worked. Thanks, Joe
GO here Start from reading "Flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery". But download fastboot first. The link is given on the post. Extract it to C://
Then navigate it through command prompt. (I showed on the post with screenshot)
Then do the two command.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I included Romracer's recovery in the fastboot package. But TWRP recovery is better than that. You may try that also. (Just download TWRP recovery & rename it to recovery.img & replace it on C://fastboot)
Sorry, this is likely a noob question. I am working to flash a new rom on my ATT HTC One (cant stand all the ATT BS). I was trying to get the Android_Revolution_HD-One_12.0 working. I have unlocked the phone, and flashed a custom recovery image (stock image linked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224752) The boot loader now shows unlocked and tampered. Next I attempted to enter the recovery mode, when I select it the phone appears to reboot then shows me a pic of a phone with the green circle of arrows on it for a few secs then pic of a phone with a red exclamation mark. After a few minutes the phone will then reboot and run normally.
I have tried:
1) 'fastboot erase cache' prior to entering recovery
2) adb reboot recovery command
3) GooManager to load TWRP, which it did, but it will not load a rom (says its starting then nothing happens) or reboot into recovery (nothing happens)
All of these result in nothing happening or the same phone with green circle, then phone with red exclamation... I have not been able to access the recovery menu... any other ideas, or am I missing something
Thanks

I think your trying to flash the stock recovery image. You need to flash either TWRP or CWM custom recoveries. GO to this link and at the bottom it will show the commands to install TWRP from fastboot. It will also give you the link for the newest version of twrp, which is 2.6.0.0 i believe,

Exactly as he said above. Download twrp (I stuck with 2.3.3.1 bc 2.5 was having problems flashing ROMs)
Put the twrp file in your folder that has fastbootand launch a CMD window (hold shift and right click, there will be an option to launch a CMD window)
Boot into the bootloader and then fastboot (be sure your phone says Fastboot USB)
on the command terminal type:
fastboot devices -- to make sure your device is being recognized (should say HTXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)
fastboot erase cache -- clears cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (recovery.img is the name of the twrp file you downloaded EXACTLY)
Worked like a Champ, thanks for the help. I loaded twrp and the rom installed without a hitch. This phone us definitely faster now that all of the att crappie is gone.
Hello,
I have a crappy Samsung S4 copy (MT6575 GT-I9500, see info.jpg) that I would like to hack.
After reading a few posts if I understand correctly, the first step is to set a correct recovery image to be able to flash a custom ROM.
I have already done it on an HTC using fastboot (I use Linux), so the step was to go to the bootloader and use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
However, the bootloader I get does not seems to accept this command (get "< waiting for device >", see bootloader.jpg).
Using adb, I was able to access the recovery mode (abd reboot recovery) but I get "e3" recovery (see recoevery1.jpg) but I get the same empty screen whatever option I use (see recoevery2.jpg.
Any idea how I can flash a custom recoevery and/or ROM ?
Thanks
