Was making a backup in CWM, when the device rebooted and entered a bootloop. Now it just goes to the HTC screen and continues its bootloop, I tried flashing another rom to it and it's doing the same thing. Any ideas?
Hold down the volume down and power button and wait for fifteen flashes. This will take you to the bootloader screen, and from there you can go back to your recovery and try again.

Yeah, tried that. Ended up having to push a new recovery (zarbo's twrp) via fastboot and trying again. Was able to push a new rom, kernel over via adb after that while in recovery. I think my version of CWM was bad, and not properly flashing things. Thanks for replying!

When I try and boot into recovery, the phone simply reboots normally. I have tried reflashing and entering from adb, hboot, and rom manager with the same issue. I am running the latest ClockworkMod version, but NOT the latest update from HTC.
Can anyone help?

Have you tried holding down volume down button and power? If so id say try twrp or 4ext

Power down completely and take the battery out. Put it back in. While holding the volume down button down, press the power button to turn the phone on and boot into boot loader. Go down to the recovery option by using the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select. If it reboots to your recovery, awesome. That's how you should do it from now on.
If not, I suggest downloading and using 4EXT recovery. It costs money, but not that much, and if you know where to look on the internet you can find it for free. It is the best recovery out there and worth the money. Once installed there should be no problem rebooting into recovery while the phone is on and running or getting to it through the boot loader.
I've tried the power + volume down thing, and it didn't work. I will see if I can flash that recovery. Thanks.

The recovery is probably corrupted. I recommend you download 4ext. It's (In my honest opinion) a pretty good recovery

Fast boot off?
Under settings power.
Makes your phone sleep instead of turn off and can't access recovery.
fastboot reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery.

After installing .21 when I try to enter recovery mode I get this error. My device is unlocked and not rooted.
And the recovery you flashed was?
I get the same error on my prime. I was on .21 and followed the downgrade to .15 unlock and root procedure. The recovery installed is TWRP
Any help please
Try to flash cwm touch, if that worked then flash twrp with it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9
I've flashed latest cwm through Rom manager and I still get the same error
Try fastboot. A few months back I unlocked too and I flashed normal cwm and I had the same problem. I fixed it by flashing cwm touch. You could also flash any custom kernel with fastboot.

I downgraded to .15 and flashed CMW again and it worked!!

'adb reboot recovery' ?
On the device?
'su'
'reboot recovery'
Not sure if these wont mess stuff up (recovery bootloop) on the prime. Works fine on my nexus and on my prime, but my prime isnt unlocked.
Last resort: reflash recovery with fastboot

Thank you for your response. I tried su and recovery reboot. It did just a basic reboot. I have also tried fastboot pro to no avail. Doesnt seem to matter what I try, all i can do is a basic reboot. no recovery extremely frustrating.

You may have done this correctly, but just in case.....
Volume down + power
Until you see the three lines of text
Immediately release both buttons and press Volume up
Yup, tried it several times. Problem is I never get the three lines of text. Thanks though.

Whats fastboot pro?

fastboot pro is just another app I assumed would help me boot into recovery mode.
I cant believe I'm the only person to experience this. Any help is appreciated.

Reflash recovery through fastboot
Sent from my i9250
I was having the same problem with not being able to boot to recovery, if you are still having the issue this is what fixed it for me-- re-flash ClockworkMod Recovery to the non-touch version (v5.8.2.0) and then do the boot:
Volume down + power
Until you see the three lines of text
Immediately release both buttons and press Volume up
Good luck.
I flashed an ICS rom through CWM recovery and it failed to boot up (stuck on Android logo) and now I am trying to figure out how to reverse this process!!! Thanks!
Anyone?
Reflash it.. wipe everything this time.
Read this Guide before

1) Pull out the back cover and take out the battery. It will shut your phone down.
2) Place the battery in its original place.
3) Press the CWM hard key combo to enter into recovery.In case of P500 press Home+Vol.Down+Power simultaneously.Release the keys after recovery menu shows up.
4) Wipe everything like Data, dalvik-cache.Format system.
5) Try to flash again or another ROM from "install zip from sdcard".
6) Reboot system after flashing.
Best of Luck.

Repeat the instructions but hold the other volume button, volume up causes fastboot, volume down brings you to recovery.

Hold power and volume up until it powers off. Hold volume down while pressing power. It will boot into bootloader.
Don't take this the wrong way, but if you're going to be flashing kernels, you should learn how to recover from stuff like this, first.

Yeah, that i know
So if i hard shutdown then reboot into bootloader, i can access recovery. So should i just wipe then restore?
I have a backup of the ROM before the kernel was flashed
Try fastboot erase cache that may reset things

I flashed NightmareROM. I found myself do not like it. I decided to flash ArchiDroid (AOSP ROM). I found it required Philz recovery. I flashed it through recovery (CWM). I rebooted to make sure everything is OK. After making Nandroid backup, found myself cannot boot into recovery and cannot boot into download mode after factory reset., but I can boot to system normally. I installed CM installer. It detected my phone, and I was able to boot into download and recovery mode. I can boot into download mode normally. I flashed the latest version of Philz Touch Recovery through Odin. When I want to boot into recovery mode, by pressing the combination, I find myself rebooting normally. When I press the combination, then pressing home + up only after the first reboot, I can boot into recovery. Is there any problem? I did not try to flash something
Change to stock cwm or twrp and test. I'm guessing a recovery problem as I've had this in the past with philz.

Someone flashed it, and he said there is no problem. Could be there is a problem with bootloader?
Bootloader won't be the problem. I use cwm6.0.4.4 and flash any ROM any firmware without issue. Philz is only a recommendations not a must In any ROM/firmware

Use one of the many apps on Playstore to boot into recovery or use adb. I know PhilZ sometimes can be a bit awkward to get into recovery but the others should be fine.Have you also tried going back to stock and starting again this may solve your problem.
Download and flash cwm 6.0.4.4
Can't help with something I don't use 'twrp'
Question.. Can you boot into recovery or download mode? If not mobile Odin.
And..what ROM are you running now? Are you rooted?

I can boot into download mode normally. I can boot into recovery mode, but I have to press up + home + power, the phone will boot into recovery, but in less than 1 sec it reboot, so I have to press up + home only
That's normal to hold the three button combo or it WONT enter recovery or download mode. Holding the power button alone will just reboot the device as you can see.
