Cold Reboot into Clockwork Reccovery - Motorola Photon 4G

How do you cold reboot the phone directly into Clockwork recovery? IE not from selecting it from a running rom - like from a battery pull.
The EVO it was something like power and volume up if I remember right.
How do you do this?
Thanks
Jeff

Volume-down and power button (simultaneously) till the screen says fastboot. Then press volume down button until you see Android Recovery. Finally press the volume-up button to select.
Remember:
Volume-down to choose
Volume-up to select
I always get confused a lot!!

Or you can download- recovery manager-, free from the market.it has an option to reboot strait into your cwm recovery (which in my case is romracers)

Clockwork issue

Have a problem.
Phone will only boot into clockwork recovery. From there I can not get it to do anything. Reboot and power off just go to a rom manager logo and sticks there.
If I hit the power button.........it goes back to clockwork.
Please help. I was just trying to use the one click root before this happened..
Remember that the power button acts as a "back" function. You have go use the home key for menu selection.

[How to] Hboot and recovery

Not sure how many know , and this will be useful one we get root and roms
To boot into hboot, hold VOL down and power button while powering on.
Fast boot must be disabled or you must pull battery. (Thanks mallman)
When you choose recovery, you must press VOL up + Vol dwn + Pwr to access recovery options (Stock recovery) (Thanks erismaster)
Should post a full How To in the Dev forum so it can be stuck and referred to more often. It's going to get buried here in the General board.

This must be done after a battery pull, you cannot powr down the phone and do it.

I believe that's not the case. I just tried that after power down, works fine.

if you choose recovery from hboot and go to stock android recovery, pressing in both volume buttons, and the power button brings up the options to reboot now, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache.
thanks for this!

Booting to Recovery

I have an odd problem. I can re-boot into recovery just fine if I select Reboot into Recovery from within my ROM. However, if I have my phone off and just want to go straight into Recovery I'm having a problem.
Pushing Vol- and the Power button at the same time just gets me a regular startup of the phone instead of booting into Recovery. Am I doing it right?
Had the same problem when stock. Only way I could get my phone to boot into recovery then was to use the commands from the Rezound All-In-One Toolkit 2.0.
I currently have Amon-Ra 3.15 installed & am S-Off with CONROM V4.
Thanks,
CxP

The Vol- and Power button has to be done in a certain way.
I think you press Vol- first, then power, and make sure you hold both of them for around 5 seconds.
Make sure you have fastboot in the settings unchecked. Power off. Press vol - , hold, and press power and hold until you get hboot.

I cant boot on recovery mode.
Am i doing somthing wrong, when i press Volum Down + Power?
Its just boot normaly, but in homescreen say is "Safe Mode"
What to do?
pull battery, reinsert battery, hold vol. down, while holding vol. down, hold the power button down til u see your h-boot screen, when your there choose recovery. or u can download a app from playstore called quickboot, it'll give u all kinds of powering down options. including boot into recovery...

[Q] Help with Rooting Stock Gingerbread - its half-rooted

Alright, so I'm just trying to root the stock rom of Gingerbread 2.3.5 on this phone,
I read the howto's and one of my biggest questions is - am I going to have to use Odin each time I want to enter cwm? because at this point the only way I can enter Cwm recovery is through flashing the cwm_recovery_all.tar through Odin but it only works once or twice.
The normal way from the phone powered off is to (use the three finger method) :: hold volume up and down an the power button,,, and keep holding till there Samsung comes up then flashes black screen,,, then release power button while continuing to hold volume up and down till it enters recovery mode
...
Though most all custom ROMs have the option when powering off the phone with a long press,, "reboot" : and chose "recovery"
.

The issue is it comes up to the normal recovery the Android System Recovery <3e>
Sounds like the recovery didn't flash properly ... are you following this guide?

Yes that's the exact guide, I'm using a Win XP VM and using the ODIN 1.84 - and I have everything installed, the custom recovery just doesn't like to stay on..
. Unplug your phone and click RESET in Odin. Repeat Step 5 to get the phone back into download mode and recognized by Odin. Using the PDA button, navigate to the "stock_kernel.tar.md5" file you downloaded earlier, select it, and press START. You'll again be notified in Odin once this process has completed (succeeded 1 / failed 0).
9. Unplug your phone and re-insert the battery.
10. Press and hold BOTH volume buttons. While holding them, press the power button. Hold all three simultaneously until you see "SAMSUNG" appear TWICE. This will boot your phone into CWM 2.5 red recovery. If your phone boots up normally here and not into recovery, just wait for it to boot up and then power it down and try again. It may take a couple tries for you to get it right.
11. Using the volume rocker, navigate down to "Install zip from sdcard." Highlight it and press the power button to select.
12. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select with the power button.
13. Navigate to the "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file that you downloaded earlier and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.
14. When you're advised of completion, press the MENU softkey to go back to the previous CWM Recovery screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now."

I did this, and made sure it installed, I have superuser installed and working and I can reset it to where the Samsung will appear twice, but when I do it, and it appears twice, it never goes into CWM recovery.. always stock...
You need a custom kernel for cwm to stick. You should be able to boot into cwm after the initial flash (Odin with battery out then 3 finger to boot), but it won't stick without a custom kernel.

enter recovery manually

ok I made a back up of the stock rom and did a complete wipe and flashed a rom and it wouldn`t even boot so I tired a few different button combinations to get back to recovery to do a restore, and i can get fastboot mode but tried to use the volume up and down to select recovery and I can`t , what sequence of buttons do you use to get you in to recovery ?:silly:

thanks, yeah I just figured it out, its weird that when the phone is completely shut off I do the volume up then press power button on, it takes me to fastboot, but if I keep holding volume up and release the power and push power button for the second time then it enters recovery every time, kind odd to me but it works
ok I was playing around again entering recovery manually and now I can`t everytime I hold volume up and power button and goes to fastboot, then I did the second press of the power goes right to fastboot again, is there something jack up with my phone?
hmm that kinda odd... what ROM are you trying to flash?
From bootloader screen use vol up twice then power, or vol dwn twice then power.
