Hi guys, I have an Htc Legend and im getting really frustrated with trying to get into the clockwork recovery mode.
I rooted my phone using the visionary+ software and it successfully rooted and downloaded superuser and lucky patcher. I then tried to flash a rom to replace my HTC sense so i downloaded rom manager and successfully got a clockwork recovery mod. I found a rom I liked but when i said to download it, it took me to the system recovery mode. I tried several different roms and they still led me to the system. I even tried the "unlockr's" instructions to flash a recovery mode off the computer and it still didn't work.
If someone has any idea what might be wrong and how to make it work could they please let me know.
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone.
I have a rather strange problem with my hero.
I'm using Amon_Ra 1.7.0.1, but I was curious about ROM manager and it's clockwork recovery.
I used included flash option to put clockwork into my phone. everything looked ok, until I tried to boot into recovery itself.
Phone froze showing Android.
I ripped the battery, ROM loaded correctly, ROM manager still saying that I have correct recovery flashed.
I flashed Amon_Ra again, using Android Commander, and it works as it should.
I don't know if Clockwork is worth attention, if Amon_ra works flawlessly, but I'm curious if someone had similar experience.
(oh, I tried to download apropriate ZIP from http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html, but also no luck booting into recovery after flashing).
with regards

Same here, I used UnrEVOked 3.2.1, rooted perfectly, tried to boot into recovery and nothing, just a black screen with white borders, after several attempts, I bricked my phone, long story, so after a trip to Verizon, I got a brand new Incredible, rooted again with UnrEVOked, and again not able to boot into recovery. So I installed ROM Manager, and loaded an experimental version of CLockwork, I think 2.5.1.1, nearly the same thing happens, except now I got the weird red/green/blue/white boot screen flashing all at once. but the alternate recovery included with ROM Manager works just fine… I don't what's going on.
hi i got the solution of your and mine problem there is an option in ROM manager to switch the recovery to RA connect your phone through wifi then switch recovery to RA then it will download the original HTC recovery back and the problem solved after that uninstall the ROM Manager i got this solution today and my problem is solved i hope so that u are also suffering from the same problem

I'm currently experiencing some particular issue with my Legend which is CWM issue.
I used to install some ROM via CWM3 Fake-flash and since that I can't access CWM at all. Even ROM Manager doesn't help. CWM recovery just doesn't appear to be installed
But actually I remember that I was experiencing absolutely the same issue about a year ago and someone gave me an update.zip or something like that which loaded directly from stock android recovery (fastboot) and launched CWM Recovery! But I have no idea where this guy is etc.
So can someone give me this precious zip file?
Thanks in advance.
Cwm5.0.2
Same thing than cwm3 fakeflash, better.
Put it to the root of your sd.
Apply update.Zip thru recovery.

Sup, thanks for this file but I can not use it because it's not signed. Can somebody sign it?
I have a similar problem. I updated my radio and since then my cmw has vanished... rom manager works, telephone is still rooted but no way to enter cwm, no nandroid backup and so on. when i reboot in cwm the phone stills stuck in a black screen with a phone image and a red triangle... wtf?
EDIT: nevermind... lot of time to my last flash, didn't push vol+ + power to enter cwm. embarassing

Then my friend who already had a rooted Galaxy S told me to get ROM Manager and it installed Clockwork Recovery. I didn't know you only needed one recovery since I'm noob at this and when I tried to install a Custom ROM with Clockwork, it just boots and I get the Sprint logo and nothing happens. I try to boot into TWRP and nothing also happens. I think having two recoverys is going a major issue with my phone and I'm unable to install any roms. Is there anyway to go back to just having the TWRP Recovery and get rid of the ClockWork/ROM Manager? Or will I have to reset everything and root again?
Huh... Sounds like the hboot 1.5 is giving you issues... Use image GUI app for 1.5 to flash right from normal android mode( everyday user mode) look the thread in themes and apps to get it installed. Let me know how it goes here. No link as I'm using the tapa app

You can't have 2 recoveries installed at the same time...if you initially had TWRP, when you flashed clockwork it would've over-written TWRP. You don't need to reset anything or re-root to get back to TWRP. You should just be able to flash TWRP again. Use the method from the thread you initially followed. Just the part about flashing TWRP is all you need to do. I've never tried it, but you could also try flashing it with the app flash gui image, or something to that nature. Joeykrim developed it and I've heard it works nice, here's where to find info about it, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192527. If your phone won't boot, the flash gui image app prob wouldn't be the best way. I would just boot your phone to fastboot, re-flash TWRP recovery, then flash a rom and try rebooting.
I don't have hboot 1.5, so I'm not up to date on the 'special' ways you need to flash, but I know that you need to boot into recovery from fastboot in order to flash a kernel, and I'm not sure if there's other steps you need to to take in the flashing process, so research that and make sure you're doing it correctly. If you don't boot to recovery from fastboot, the kernel won't flash and you'll be stuck in boot loops or something like that. Good luck.
Thank you guys! The flash image gui thing made the fix very seamless. I just flashed TWRP again and now it's showing up. Flashing synergy nitely now. Woot!
Hello. I am new to the forum. I have a rooted Samsung Infuse 4g. I am a bit of a noob so please bare with me. I began having problems with the phone after I did a factory reset. Everytime I boot the phone now it brings me to clockwork mod recovery . Everything is written in red. Iv tried to do a recovery from here and I tried installing the rom from the my sd card and have had no luck. I cannot get into download mode either. How can I get my Droid running again?
Thanks in advance
If you can get into fastboot mode, download the .img file of any custom recovery for your phone, then use Android Flash Recovery to flash it. This will replace your CWM with a working version, which you can then use to flash a new ROM.
hey guys, searched the forum, found some stuff matching my post but figured i would put out an update. just rooted tonight, ive done these before and i used to be a member awhile ago but forgot what email used. anyway, galaxy s2 sch-r760. recovery problem. CWM doesnt seem to offer a proper recovery and im new to using odin so im not sure where to go from here. how can i go about making a backup if i cant get into recovery? i would like to do a new rom and back this thing up asap. need a new recovery or ideas for one. any help would be appreciated guys!
You need to expand on this.What did you do to root,do you have stock or cwm recovery?
Followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928566 to root. Its a generic CDMA. Root went fine. It tells me that it has root access. I am trying to flash CWM recovery and it won't boot into recovery from the CWM option. It shows the unpacking screen for a few seconds then reboots. As of now I am assuming its stock recovery because I can't get it to boot into recovery from CWM like I was saying
Tried doing a manual boot into recovery and it turned on, said galaxy s2, turned off then rebooted. Its acting like there is no recovery at all....
No help on this guys? Anybody mod generic s2 before?
