Few days back my mobile was alnost bricked, it was on fastboot mode.. but thnx to a xda thread due to which i was able to un-brick my p500...
But in this process, i had to flash AmonRa recovery (because the cwm recovery file i downloaded was corrupt)... now my mobile is running very smoothly as it used to..
But i want CWM recovery, not AmonRa as i don't like it at all and i am not comfortable with it at all..
Can anyone help please ...

WTH. Aroma is not a recovery, it is a filemanager "flashed" from and running within recovery. Absolutely no idea what are you talking about here. If you "flashed" Aroma, surely you have a working recovery, so flash a different recovery from your current one.

;( ... oh no...!! i tried to flashed cwm recovery over AmonRa recovery using rom manager, and maybe this wasn't a good decision...
now i have latest cwm 5.0.2.7 but i think there is something seriously wrong.. when i boot into recovery, some weird things appear for 1-2 sec... moreover, while in recovery, my setting button became 'down' button, home button became 'up button' and search button became the 'ok' button...
i think something wrong is gonna happen with my optimus one.

adb reboot recovery

using the backup from rom manager facilitates a script to boot and backup
with samsungs recovery, and the implementation we have of cwm....just boot into recovery and do it from there

So I just tried to reboot to recovery, and got an "!" and then went to blue CWM, but then when I try to restart phone it's just putting me into blue recovery, and I can't seem to access any of the settings, and when I click anything I just get the hat icon. What's going on?
use the home button instead of the power button to make your selection

Go to the market and download "Reboot Recovery" a free app.
Then there will be no need to use rom manager.
All this app does is reboots you into cwm recovery and nothing else.
Just one click on the app's icon is all it takes.
Here is the link for "reboot recovery" http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/reboot+recovery
You can also just hold the power button and select reboot recovery
if you are running any of the custom roms here in XDA.
Good luck!

Yeah I'm just using the one touch quick-boot widget to go to CWM Recovery.

It more or less a very good replacement for Rom Manager and its fully compatible with our new phones.
You really should not use rom manager anymore or you will have problems :
At least forget about rom manager until they fix it to be really compatible
with our newly aquired wonder phones
Hi Folks,
I have a stock .587 firmware with locked BL.
I have done some tweaks on it listed below:
- New adreno libs.
- Walkman port V6 by ThilinaC
- removed bloatwares manually and freezed some others.
- JB SystemUI changes by ThilinaC
- adrenaline boost, etc.
I was learning on decompiling and recompiling the apk's. So I picked up the simplest one. i.e. enabling on screen buttons in framework-res.apk.
I made change into in one of the xml and I successfully rebuilt the apk. and flashed it using root explorer. But it gave bootloops.
I tried starting CWM recovery using volume down button at the Sony logo as usual. But it didnt start. I tried so many things like connecting to USB and restarting the phone at that time to start recovery by same pressing volume down button method.
But it didnt work still.
Since I was not able to go into recovery, and since my nand backup was some days old and had some data which was needed.
I flashed only system partition from the .587 ftf. using flashtool and rooted the phone again using normal procedure.
I thought the volume down button will work for recovery but it is still not working. (The button works normally when phone is on i.e for volume down process.)
Please help me what can be done.
P.S.: As of now I can go into recovery using x-parts or any other tool like titanium. But only manual recovery entry is not working.
So it means, I wont be able to go into recovery if I get bootloops again. And I am afraid to change/port anything on my phone now.
try the back button instead of the volume down button

back button also didnt work.. Thanks for your reply anyways....
To add to my point....when I repeatedly press volume down/back button, the LED turns blue,,,but as per my observation, previously it used to stay till recovery starts, but now it turns on for 4-5 seconds and then goes off, and then the Experia bootanim shows up.
Is it like the exploit which activates recovery at boot time is damaged?(just a guess)..If maybe yes..how can I solve it?
Try to install recovery again via flashtool.

How did you install CWM? Try taping on screen when you see boot logo.

Or flash a stock kernel with recovery included (I think you can still do that with locked bootloader, but not sure as I unlocked as soon as I got the phone)

Thanks Madfysh...tapping on the screen worked... :good: so happy...
I had tried every button.. Didnt think of screen though...
Initially, I had installed CWM thru DoomLoRD's rooting toolkit. Then I had installed x-parts by pvyParts. There it said a new CWM version was available(v5.5). So I had upgraded that.
Was it the upgrade that had this change?

There is one version floating around which is using tapping on screen to enter in recovery, so since for you, back and volume- didn't work. Tap on screen was only option left, having in mind that you said that you can enter recovery using xparts, meaning that your recovery is installed ok.
p.s. I doubt you used doomlord's root toolkit to install CWM

For rooting I used Doomlord's toolkit. and the CWM 5.0 comes with that only..I had read somewhere about xparts...so installed it and updated the recovery.tar thru it...that must have done the trick...
Recently got a used Galaxy Note i717,went to install the ICS update but it would not update thriough KIES.Find out the previois owner had rooted it so I just install the stock ICS firmware manually following a guide I foiund.One problem,when I hold down POWER + VOL.UP I dont get tge screen that lets you wipe cache and what not.
Phone seems to be.working fine so far,been using it a couple days but what happens when I want to install a custom rom?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
If you put a custom ROM, it will wipe your device, which you have to, for installing a Custom ROM, and all custom ROMs are rooted btw. And yes I stay away from KIES...
You might of lost recovery when you install the ICS firmware. Here is the Super Thread with all the tools and ROMs.>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
If you are rooted, I would put the latest TWRP here>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
Then just find the custom ROM of your liking and download/install on your device, FTW.
The correct procedure to boot into Recovery is :
Hold power + volume up AND volume down until you feel the phone vibrate THEN release the power button (still holding volume up and down). The phone will then boot into Recovery. It should either be " Clockwork Mod Recovery " or "TWRP". There, you can wipe, install, backup, etc.

Use ODIN to flash the .tar file for the original ics 4.0.4 for at&t if you haven't already.. make sure "repartition" is off.

Thank you,this kind of worked but what showed up was "Android System Recovery <3e>.
Is this Clockwork or TWRP?
The previous owner rooted it but I cant get hold of him to ask him exactly what he did.
Its neither, it's stock recovery.
You have to flash a file from your pc to the phone to replace stock recovery with a custom recovery like CWR or TWRP.

I see.I already have Odin installed and used it to flash the stock 4.04 since it would not update from KIES,will installing CWR or TWRP cause any issues?
No, just get in download mode and flash the TWRP odin file (I prefer TWRP over CWR). Reboot and you will go into recovery. Take a few minutes to make a backup of your rom.

It comes down to personal preference really ...
As CWM does a fine job as a recovery. But TWRP has many more features for the user, and seems to provide a much better user experience.
TWRP is clearly better supported, without the common outdated "status 7" errors often found in CWM.
Up to you obviously, but it's TWRP for me ....g
^^^^^ well said, Sarge. I was a CWR user for ten phones and tablets, but I tried TWRP on this phone. Its the bomb-diggity.
I installed Nightmare ROM, based on Samsung stock ROM 4.3. I found myself did not like it; because it was very laggy. I installed Philz Recovery through CWM Recovery (flashable zip), but I could not boot to recovery mode. I did factory reset, I found the ROM is performing better, but I cannot boot into Recovery mode or Download mode

Is really strange,i THINK that the only solution is use ODIN for flash again the recovery. For do that you need a bin or md5 or tar file,no zip file. IN xda find Philz recovery,last version,touch,for ODIN,flash it and i think that everything come back to normality

(1) Did you try mobile Odin
(2) Did you try any of the apps on google play to boot into recovery
(3) Did you try adb to boot into recovery
I also think cm installer only installs the rom..

My problem is different from others because my phone does not get stuck on logo, it gets switched on normally.
My device is HTC d816g ...i rooted with kingroot, these are happening after that. I have removed root completely but the problem is still there. When i try doing factory reset by going to settings, the phone turns off but then turns on again like i only rebooted it. Also when i try going to recovery mode, after clicking on the recovery mode button, the phone turns on instead of going to recovery mode.
Please tell me what to do, i searched a lot but no one has the same problem so i cant get the solution:crying:
