Recovery not working

Ok so when I had stock 1.83 I used the native recovery app to flash the leaked ota of gingerbread. And ever since when I try to go back to it, it'll just sit with the ! And little android dude. I tap around the screen and nothing. I installed rom manager and tapped flash cwm recovery and went to reboot in cwm recovery and same thing. Any ideas?

You should flash Tenfar's new CWM as the old one isn't compatible with 2.3.4. The one in the Rom Manager is incomplete and not recommended for us yet.
You have the link or version number?

You have unlocked the bootloader I suppose?
Only thing is I don't know how to get into /system/etc to find the install_recovery file. I got astro file manager and I don't think I can get into it

hey everyone, i've got a big problem after using WB's 2.3.3 rom with hotfix v005, i can't turn into xrecovery or conenct to flashtool and reinstall it there does anyone know a solution?
Do you know how to get into xrecovery properly and do you know how to get into flash mode for flashtool properly? Tell me your steps and I will see if they match the proper ones.

well,
getting in xrecovery:
reboot the phone and start pressing the back button at SE logo.
getting into flashtool:
just plug in the USB with debugging in on?

omfg.... did you atleast read any post? i don't need to flash anything... i need for flashtool to just detect my phone...
Or you can try this: after you have flashed a firmware on your phone, reinstall the drivers (SEUS and PC Companion) then reboot your computer. Once PC rebooted turn on USB debugging and Unknown Sources and open up flashtool, it should work.

Sent from my X10i using XDA App
too late ... but solution
download and paste spearately chargemon(file) and xrecovery(file). i think both are in tar format. they should have been installed with xrecovery. but, maybe u accidentally deleted them or corrupted them or 3rd-party-apps could have done the corruption. download and paste spearately chargemon(file) and xrecovery(file) to phone's memory (system/bin/PASTE HERE). if the one or more of the files i specified existed already, you should replace them with the downloaded ones as it is possible that they are corrupted.
THIS IS THE WAY TO GET xRECOVERY BACK coz u said u cant boot into recovery.
(NOT THE SOLUTION TO DRIVERS PROBLEM).

Can you boot into AP fastboot mode?
If you can, just flash GB ROM back via RSD light. And then root it, restore your cid back.
Note: you need to use BP tools to boot your device before you finished next step.
And flash GB rom via RSD light again.

A nandroid backup is not an sbf file. Hard bricks come from flashing the wrong sbf file.

if you flash the sbf that matches the stock version you had prior to unlocking, you'll be fine. flash anything older than that, and you risk bricking.

thanks again I have found my version and i am downloading it right now. but how to flash it? I need to enter rsd mode in my phone and through rsd lte? I've downloaded an gz file type. and inside it has ths sbf file, and RSD lite can use both types. I know that it sounds like stupid question but I only want to verify, I need to use the sbf file and not the gz right?

No problem. Search for RSD online, i'm running 5.7, but i think i was told by another user the other day that its up to 6.1 or something. reboot phone and hold vol up. it will display something about standing by for rsd support. connect phone to computer, let any necessary drivers install from device. then load sbf file into rsd, and after the drivers have installed, hit the detect for device button, and then flash the sbf to the device

no problem. one more thing. you may get an error message when you do it. if you flashed a different radio to your device, you need to follow the following steps first
Solved !
1. Copy Radio image (baseband) to the folder where located fastboot. 2. Power on phone and select fastboot 3. execute: fastboot flash radio bp.img, Where bp.img baseband image files 4. execute: fastboot reboot 5. Phone automatically boot on the android recovery mode 6. Wipe userdata/cache 7. Reload in RSD mode 8. on the RSD lite browse appropriate .sbf file and puch Start
Thats all.

Your Software/Firmware version is 2.06
Moonshine will work, it's how I got S-Off on my third DNA.
The first two I did the hard way.
Follow the instruction EXACTLY.
You will have to download the latest SDK tools and the correct drivers.
You must have ADB and Fastboot working.
Turn off your Firewall on your PC.
Uninstall HTC Sync.
This is all in the instructions. If you can't get it to work, maybe you shouldn't root your device.
Maybe tell us what error your getting????

If ADB and Fastboot both recognize device, then your drivers are okay.
Fastboot drivers are broken on Windows 8.1
Windows 8.0 and earlier work okay for me.
USB 2.0 port. Do not use a 3.0 port.
