A simple general question. I have the 5.0.2.0 clockworkmod recovery version (latest), installed through ROM manager, on my legend. My device is well rooted, but S-On.
Now, if I want to boot into clockworkmod recovery and choose such an option in ROM manager, it boots and works without any problems. BUT: If my device is switched off (no power) and I am loading recovery through fastboot, only the android stock recovery will be booted, not clockworkmod. I must ordinary access it through "recovery-windows.bat" and so on. The same thing with a working Legend (through "restart - boot into recovery").
Is such a function normal or should I change something additionally to get clockworkmod as default recovery?
Thanks.
You cannot makeit except you are S-OFF and use fastboot.exe application(on computer) to flash the recovery into your phone......In fact, rom manager did not really flash the recovery into your phone, so you can not boot the CWM though the fast boot.
My Legend still S-On,
Unlocked bootloader by HTCdev,
Rooted,
And nomarly boot to recovery when power off by press Power + volume down
Wow grave digger...

Have you tried downloading the twrp pg86img.zip & make sure it's named PG86IMG.zip then put it on the root of you're sdcard, boot into bootloader and update that way?
CM powered EVO 3D, enough said.

when the device either hangs on the htc logo or reboots while on the htc logo, it means there is an issue with the actual kernel/ramdisk.
when dealing with a custom recovery, they should always boot without any issues. the best suggestion off the top of my head is to make sure if you're on the CDMA version, use the shooter recovery and if you're on the GSM version, use the shooteru version of the custom recovery.
otherwise, as suggested above, reflash the confirmed correct custom recovery for your device. there are a few ways to flash the custom recovery although, being you used the htc unlock method, regular custom recovery mode will not have write access to the boot/kernel partition.
if you're interested in loading any ROMs which come with kernels or separately flashing a custom kernel, there are essentially two complete methods:
1) use my Flash Image GUI app from normal android mode to flash the kernel. then flash the ROM from custom recovery.
2) use fastboot boot c:\android\cwm-recovery.img . this will temporarily boot the custom recovery and htc unlock will grant it write access to the kernel/boot partition. this command is different than fastboot flash recovery c:\android\cwm-recovery.img. the fastboot boot will temporarily boot into the custom recovery while fastboot flash will permanently write it into the recovery partition.
hope all the extra details make sense and helps!
Ummm.....Just my 2 cents, but it sounds as though the most basic possible problem has been overlooked here. You need to go into menu>settings>power and uncheck the "fast boot" box or do a battery pull, then try to boot into your bootloader to access recovery. With your phone completely powered down (fast boot unchecked or after battery pull), hold volume down and press power. That will put you in your bootloader with an option to boot recovery from there.
ok i'm a noob i've used thr shooter and not the shooteru cwm img, now all works

Hello xda every I have an major problem I tried to flash an rom today via the rom manager app and cleared cache and others that was requires now I cannOt get into recovery mode it's just shows the htc logo and boots up regular but I can acres fastboot I'm on 1.50 s-on all help would be very appreciated other i I searched other threads to no avail
If you tried flashing a rom with a custom kernel through rom manager it won't work. You have to flash that through fastboot. You say that your phone "boots up regular" as in boots into android?

Not all of your infmration is easy to follow or understand.
Essentially, if you're looking to flash a kernel or ROM (which many times also include a kernel), there are three basic methods (two seem the easier) with hboot 1.50 and htc's unlock method:
1) For Kernel Flashing: From Android mode, using my application, Flash Image GUI. Put the kernel .zip file on your sdcard, select from inside the application and flash.
If flashing a ROM, pull out the kernel file (usually named boot.img), push to sdcard and flash using Flash Image GUI.
If you're away from a computer and want to flash a kernel, this is a great tool.
2) Load the custom recovery, NOT using the traditional method (reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc), but a specific method for Hboot 1.5. From the prompt use: fastboot boot c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img.
This will temporarily boot the custom recovery image and the HTC unlock method will grant it write access to the boot partition while in this mode.
In this temporarily booted recovery mode, when a full ROM (with kernel included) is flashed, the kernel will flash correctly.
3) Boot into recovery using the traditional methods, reboot recovery, bootloader -> recovery, etc, and after the custom recovery has loaded, flash the ROM. Reboot into fastboot mode and then separately flash the kernel from the computer: fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img.
Downside to this method would be if a zImage is included instead of the boot.img for the kernel, won't flash correctly.
If you're issues are with not entering a custom recovery mode when following step 3, there are a few options. If you're able to boot into normal android mode w/o any issues and you seem familar with ROM manager, flash the custom recovery again from there.
My app, Flash Image GUI, also offers the same feature, select the recovery.img or PG86IMG.zip file off the sdcard and Flash Image GUI will flash it.
Another option is to flash it via fastboot: fastboot flash recovery c:\downloads\cwm-recovery.img
Hope that helps clarify!

If the device does not make it past the splash screen this usually indicates a bad kernel (or ramdisk) or bad flash.
Either flash the same recovery file again or download a new recovery file.
Sometimes a bad flash can occur, usually rare. Sometimes the recovery file can corrupt while downloading, usually rare. But these things do occur.
Good luck!
Hello everyone, i rooted my Evo 3d about 4-5 months ago via HTC unlock method and when i go into fastboot screen (holding down Vol - and Power when phone is off) it says S-ON and all that. (just so you guys have an idea where im coming from)
now the thing is every time i want to flash a ROM or kernel or even go into recovery i have to flash the recovery image via fastboot so i can THEN go into CWM.
The other day one of my friends showed me his EVO 3d and he had an updated CWM recovery that was touch screen based (with bigger options) and he could access it from the phone per-say without having to flash the image via fastboot like i have to everytime i want to update my ROM.
Where can i go about finding out how to update my CWM recovery or should i first UNROOT my phone then re-root it to install this new recovery? My primary concern is just being able to access the Recovery without the need of fastboot.
Im afraid to mess things up since i lost my warranty when i unlocked via HTC method.
I am sorry to say that. You can not downgrade your hboot version and forget s-off (for now) does not matter which c.recovery you use. If you dont want to boot in recovery with your pc , you can use GUI app. Sorry. MY friend

The cwm recovery can be booted without using fastboot too.
I think you always use "fastboot boot cwm.img" command to boot the recovery right?
But if you use "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" you can always boot it without the use of fastboot.
And if you want to use the recovery like your friends 3d then download and flash this -> http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Or you can also flash TWRP 2.0 touch screen recovery from here -> http://teamw.in/project/twrp2
I prefer twrp 2.0 than clockworkmod as cwm is littlebit buggy.
NOTE: Even though you can boot recovery from your phone itself without using fastboot, you must boot recovery from fastboot for flashing kernels or ROMS with kernels different than your current one.
Tried to flash a kernel and messed up my phone so my problem now is...
My power button doesn't want to (click) and I'm stuck in bootloader mode (loading pj75img.zip) what can I do either restart my phone or turn it back on after the battery is drained... I'm on s-off rooted with TWRP
- thanks in advanced

I can't remember the command word for word but have you tried to reboot with fastboot?

You could take out your sd card and like the last post said you can access recovery thru adb or fastboot.. I think its
Adb reboot recovery
Fastboot reboot recovery
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Fastboot reboot will reboot into the system, adb reboot recovery will reboot into the recovery but I believe will only work if the phone previously had USB debugging enabled and its halfway turned on (splash screen?).

If you can remove the sd card and manage to get into fastboot then I suggest flashing twrp as boot instead of recovery. It should reboot into recovery allowing you to flash a Rom. The kernel will replace twrp and boot to android

Why flash TWRP as boot instead of recovery ?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Well if the power button isn't working properly and there is no usable rom, the user might be able to power the phone but be unable to access recovery from bootloader. Flashing twrp as a kernel will load twrp upon reboot eliminating the need to select it from bootloader and allow user to flash a new Rom normally. Easier then repeatedly stabbing the power button and causing more unnecessary wear on an already damaged button
so I was having a reboot issue with AOSP ROM's and was trying to go back to stock before I realized there was no RUU for T-mobile devices.
anyway long story short I am now at the point that I can load a custom recovery via fastboot but have no ROM at all on the phone, so when it reboots it just hangs on the HTC one splash screen.
how do I go about flashing a new ROM without usb access?
any help is GREATLY appreciated.

You still have usb access it's in hboot menu, Your in a mess , but do this .
If you have a custom recovery and can boot into it, do so.... Power off phone and hold vol down and power until u boot Into hboot ....And then choose adb sideload Rom option in your cwm or twrp recovery and download a Rom to your laptop and select sideload Rom.
If you have no recovery, boot Into hboot manually choose fastboot make sure it says fastboot usb that means u have usb recognituon to your phone it will be in red letters .... download and use hasoons2000 toolkit for tmobile m7.... Choose flash a recovery it's at the far top right of the tool kit to script flash cwm recovery.
Then sideload a Rom from pc to phone via recovery..
