Hey guys, I recently rooted my phone and flashed clockworkmod, I noticed it wasn't working properly when it was only giving me blank screens when I made selections. Well I attempted a nandroid back up from the rom manager app and something strange happened, now I can ONLY boot into the faulty recovery image. As flashing a rom from this image is not an option is there anything I can do to get a rom up and running? I can still boot into download mode if that helps.

I had the same problem when I first flashed cwm. The button mappings are changed in the newer cwm. You have to use the soft keys in the bottom of the phone to make selection. Hone button is to select, not the power key.
To fix it, just power off, go back into download mode and flash the cwm kernel again, they did it for me.

you are using which button to select the option ..use the options button and never use home button when in recovery it will just open a rom manager logo
Recovery Key mapping:
Up & down : vol-up and vol-down
Select : Menu
Backup : Back
Hit the THANKS BUTTON if I helped you
ahhh. got it. thanks for the help guys. first time flashing =)
I was simply updating my currently installed ROM and now I'm having an issue where I can't even flash a ROM.
whenever I select the ROM I want to flash, and then slide to "confirm" within TWRP 2.2.0 it just returns to the main menu in TWRP.
I noticed when I try to reboot the system into any mode, it tells me "E:system is not installed - preventing reboot!" in TWRP and just sits there. I have to hold vol down, vol up, and the power button to force a reboot and then it hangs on the white HTC logo screen. I pull the battery and then do vol down + power and I get back into the bootloader and can get into the recovery.
What is going on?
Please help, this is my main phone and currently am unable to figure it out.
Thanks
EDIT: I think I figured it out. I think it was a bad ROM.
I suggest changing your recovery to 4ext recovery

Yeah..... TWRP is a known problem..... I don't even believe there is a Team Win anymore.
Hey all,
I recently got a Nexus 4 and gave my trusty Vibrant to a buddy of mine. However, in the time they had it, they really managed to mess it up(it was running the latest cm10 nightly and semaphore kernel when I handed it over). I got the phone back and have used Odin to flash it back to stock with the original pit and PDA file. Now, the phone simply flashes the I-9000 bootloader splash screen over and over(unless plugged into the PC, then it flashes the loading circle over and over). Any one have any ideas? Normally I would flash stock to resolve this, but flashing stock is the cause of my problem now.
EDIT: I should mention, I can still get to download mode, but not any kind of recovery.
I would just flash a semaphore .tar in Odin, boot directly to recovery afterwards and flash a ROM.

When returning to stock (JFD?) did you repartition it?
Ding!Ding! Repartitioning might be it. Also reflash GB BLers after flashing your first ROM to get rid of the GTi9000 boot splash
Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I've been away, but I've now tried your suggestions. I flashed the semaphore kernel via Odin, and while it no longer boot loops, it won't go into any kind of recovery manager and will simply sit on the Semaphore logo. I tried flashing a gingerbread bootloader via odin as well, but it didn't help.
As for returning to stock. yes I am indeed repartioning it, but it still doesn't boot. If I return to stock form the Semaphore kernel, it beings bootlooping again.
Don't check repartition and see if it boots.
After flashing semaphore did you try the button combo to recovery? If you flashed GB boots it is no longer vol up and vol down +power.
Recovery is power and vol down, DL mode is power vol up.

Yes, I tried it with button combo, I even tried all possible combinations in desperation when it didn't work. I can get it into download mode, but nothing else. I just tried flashing without repartioning, but it resulted in the same bootloop.
Hi everyone,
I'm having a hard time booting into TWRP after a full shutdown of my phone. If I restart the phone and hold the volume up button, everything works fine, but if I go from a fully powered off state and hold the home, power and volume up buttons I will see the blue text show up at the top that the recovery is booting, then the screen will just go black and not do anything for a few seconds before vibrating and doing a normal reboot.
I rooted and installed TWRP using bhp090808's tool here.

I'm am currently still using the stock ROM and I want to get this worked out before I flash a custom.
Thanks.
When rebooting into recovery manually, hold the volume up, home and power buttons. When the phone vibrates, release the power button while continuing to hold the home and volume up buttons. That's the correct manual way to get into recovery.

Having the same issue. Not sure how to resolve, I know with GS3 you can flash recovery VIA ODIN but I obviously didn't want do do the GS3 Clockwork Mod recovery, worried that it may cause more damage.
Holding VOL UP + PWR from a cold boot doesn't work. Black Screen then Reboots again.
I would suggest following this post if you had the same issue.
It will revert you back to stock and you have to root your phone again, it will go back to a usable state, if you are in a soft brick scenario.
Having the same issue. I use different apk's to enter into recovery mode. Or - connect to computer and reboot via adb reboot recovery.

This was the right solution for me. Everything works great now. Thanks and thanked!
You actually don't need to hold the Home button, works with just volume up and power.
have CWM recovery and can't switch to TWRP
I installed initially installed CWM recovery when I rooted the phone. I then installed TWRP (I thought so anyway) using goo manager and when I boot into recovery mode I still get CWM recovery. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get TWRP to work? I am currently running the CM 10.1 rom.

2.5.0.2 might be the build that I should be using with my phone. Presently I have constant issues with 2.6.0, either the phone getting stuck @ the team win logo causing me to have to battery pull.. Or just rom's not booting.
Hopefully someone has a download link of 2.5.0.2 out there, I'm unable to locate it anywhere. And hopefully it wont break anything if I downgrade.

No problem. I noticed alot of zips people are making are causing problems because of the way they have their updater-script written for flashing recoveries.

Just an FYI...
I'm not using 2.6.0 any longer either but just for those that don't know.
When your phone hangs on the TWRP screen you don't have to pull the battery, you can reboot recovery by holding the volume up and power button at the same time.
Works for me anyway.
Sent from a Galaxy S4... Far far away
I'm encoutering this issue with a Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Intl).
The phone randomly got into a bootloop by itself, and since then I could never boot it up. I managed to miraculously boot it once or twice, but then after awhile it went back into bootloop. I can get into download mode/recovery, but the problem is in recovery I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Tried power button/home button to select, I can't. Volume buttons work fine.
Here's what I've tried (in no particular order):
Installed Philz CWM touch to do the wipe
Flashed CM10.1.3 / CM10.2
Flashed CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended on the CM thread (The buttons work fine with this)
Flashed Stock ROM (I9100DXLSD Singapore Stardhub)
Flashed Siyah Kernel and tried to wipe
Another problem is that everytime I flashed CM, the recovery gets overwritten by CWM 6.0.3.8 regardless of the type of recovery I am using at that point. When this happens I am UNABLE TO SELECT anything. Appreciate if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!
Urgently need help here. Nobody? D:
Try to use the odin to flash the kernel use dorimanx (9.xx is for aokp, cm... and the 8.xx is for stock sammy) flash that and do a full wipe with it, download a ROM and go to mount and storage in cwm and mount usb so that you can put the ROM on the phone. Now go to mounts and storage again and format system, (dont reboot after format system, AFTER YOU FLASH THE ROM REBOOT), then flash it.
Ask if you need something more!

Thank you for the response.
I tried the method but it doesn't seem to work. I managed to boot the phone though, strange way of doing it. All I had to do, was hold the the power button until about 3 seconds into the boot animation (the spinning Cyanogenmod, or the one with the Samsung signature tone), and the phone will boot up.
Once again CM went ahead and overwrote my recovery, bringing it back to the recovery that I cannot use. I'd like to know how I can replace this recovery with a touch one. Flashing say Philz touch recovery using Odin will render the phone unable to boot. Even flashing CWM 6.0.2.9 as recommended by the CM team (the one that prevents MMC-SUPERBRICK) will not allow me to boot the phone.
Also ROM Manager wouldn't let me flash a touch recovery unless I give them some money. Any other method to flash a touch recovery?
The Philz kernel is for sammy roms only I think. Did you do a wipe with a script https://db.tt/42o0ebwz . Just run it in cwm and you can try and flash the kernel through cwm again. Report back.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Yes you're right it's for Sammy ROMs I missed that part out, my bad.
BTW what do I do with the script? I've never used it before.
You flash it before flashing a new ROM. It basically removes parts of the phone that they maybe can make some isues with the ROM that you are flashing.

Alright I'll give it shot and report back. Gotta get some work done atm thanks a lot for your help so far!
With regards to recovery it's not that important since the phone works now more or less.

Sorry for taking awhile to reply. The wipe script doesn't seem to work, but it's alright.
Now I've got another question. Is there any way to add a power menu tile to quick settings so I can access the power menu to shut down the phone since the power button doesn't respond on mine. (I can turn on the phone, but it doesn't respond to anything else) I can't find any threads that provide such a mod, and can't be sure if AOKP has it 'cause I can't find a list of features for quick settings.
Something like what you see here. Can't seem to find any hint of him sharing it anywhere.
Apps that provide power menu functionality seems to freeze the phone upon shutdown, so they don't work. I'm trying to see if I can shut down the phone with the "official" shut down menu.
