Hi everyone,
I'm having a hard time booting into TWRP after a full shutdown of my phone. If I restart the phone and hold the volume up button, everything works fine, but if I go from a fully powered off state and hold the home, power and volume up buttons I will see the blue text show up at the top that the recovery is booting, then the screen will just go black and not do anything for a few seconds before vibrating and doing a normal reboot.
I rooted and installed TWRP using bhp090808's tool here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301720
I'm am currently still using the stock ROM and I want to get this worked out before I flash a custom.
Thanks.
When rebooting into recovery manually, hold the volume up, home and power buttons. When the phone vibrates, release the power button while continuing to hold the home and volume up buttons. That's the correct manual way to get into recovery.

Having the same issue. Not sure how to resolve, I know with GS3 you can flash recovery VIA ODIN but I obviously didn't want do do the GS3 Clockwork Mod recovery, worried that it may cause more damage.
Holding VOL UP + PWR from a cold boot doesn't work. Black Screen then Reboots again.
I would suggest following this post if you had the same issue.
It will revert you back to stock and you have to root your phone again, it will go back to a usable state, if you are in a soft brick scenario.
Having the same issue. I use different apk's to enter into recovery mode. Or - connect to computer and reboot via adb reboot recovery.

This was the right solution for me. Everything works great now. Thanks and thanked!
You actually don't need to hold the Home button, works with just volume up and power.
have CWM recovery and can't switch to TWRP
I installed initially installed CWM recovery when I rooted the phone. I then installed TWRP (I thought so anyway) using goo manager and when I boot into recovery mode I still get CWM recovery. Any suggestions as to what I can do to get TWRP to work? I am currently running the CM 10.1 rom.

Did you find a solution to fix this problem ?
Because I have the same problem now on my phone
Just install goo manager and select the reboot into recovery option

2.5.0.2 might be the build that I should be using with my phone. Presently I have constant issues with 2.6.0, either the phone getting stuck @ the team win logo causing me to have to battery pull.. Or just rom's not booting.
Hopefully someone has a download link of 2.5.0.2 out there, I'm unable to locate it anywhere. And hopefully it wont break anything if I downgrade.

No problem. I noticed alot of zips people are making are causing problems because of the way they have their updater-script written for flashing recoveries.

Just an FYI...
I'm not using 2.6.0 any longer either but just for those that don't know.
When your phone hangs on the TWRP screen you don't have to pull the battery, you can reboot recovery by holding the volume up and power button at the same time.
Works for me anyway.

Hey guys, I recently rooted my phone and flashed clockworkmod, I noticed it wasn't working properly when it was only giving me blank screens when I made selections. Well I attempted a nandroid back up from the rom manager app and something strange happened, now I can ONLY boot into the faulty recovery image. As flashing a rom from this image is not an option is there anything I can do to get a rom up and running? I can still boot into download mode if that helps.

I had the same problem when I first flashed cwm. The button mappings are changed in the newer cwm. You have to use the soft keys in the bottom of the phone to make selection. Hone button is to select, not the power key.
To fix it, just power off, go back into download mode and flash the cwm kernel again, they did it for me.

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?

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.

HI, I'm new here.
I just recently rooted my new HTC EVO 4G LTE and installed ROM manager so that i could back up my phone. i flashed clockwork mod recovery with-in ROM manager but when i hold the power and vol down button it just boots normally.
I've also tried the vol up button as well but neither work. I'm i missing a step?
Thanks for help in advance

Clockwork mod isn't fully supported on EVO LTE.
Download TWRP recovery in the development subforum, go into downloader and flash it.
Or, just use regaws root method. Even if you're rooted, it will flash twrp for you.
Hope that helps.

I think you can use goo manager app to install twrp as well. Then just power down and you hold volume down + power, the cap lights will flash, once they are done flashing release the buttons and press and hold them again and it should boot into the bootloader where you can select recovery. Kind of weird but it works. Also, your phone will boot normally once after you install a recovery for some reason even if you try to get in. After that you can get it no problem.
The videos in the regaw root method show everything really, really well. I suggest watching one.

Thanks. I got it to boot into recovery.
I was simply updating my currently installed ROM and now I'm having an issue where I can't even flash a ROM.
whenever I select the ROM I want to flash, and then slide to "confirm" within TWRP 2.2.0 it just returns to the main menu in TWRP.
I noticed when I try to reboot the system into any mode, it tells me "E:system is not installed - preventing reboot!" in TWRP and just sits there. I have to hold vol down, vol up, and the power button to force a reboot and then it hangs on the white HTC logo screen. I pull the battery and then do vol down + power and I get back into the bootloader and can get into the recovery.
What is going on?
Please help, this is my main phone and currently am unable to figure it out.
Thanks
EDIT: I think I figured it out. I think it was a bad ROM.
I suggest changing your recovery to 4ext recovery

Yeah..... TWRP is a known problem..... I don't even believe there is a Team Win anymore.
I'm running on SCH-I545 everytime I use Volume Up, Power, and Home button combo it attempts to go into recovery but instead it goes to Odin mode instead. I installed CWM correctly I believe through ROM Manager app and when I select to reboot into recovery through the app it does the same thing, When I do boot normally I don't see the custom symbol anymore but my root checker says I am rooted. Am I not rooted correctly. Is my bootloader not unlocked? Please help I really want to install a new rom but I'm still in stock touchwiz
You're doing it wrong.

You boot into downloader mode using Volume Down, Power, and Home.
You boot into recovery using Volume Up, Power, and Home.
Since you're booting into downloader mode, you're using the wrong volume button. Use the other one.
Or install Rom Manager or Quick Boot and use them to reboot into recovery.
Still nothing!

That is what I do but like I said it still goes into downloader even when I boot into recovery from Rom Manager.
Sounds like youre on me7 and then installed a custom recovery which you cant do. Thats why its going to download mode. Youll have to flash a stock image through odin to get back your stock recovery. The only thing me7 people can do is run safestrap.

I actually foolishly did the same before, installed TWRP and CWMR on ME7. Currently still running stock ROM, rooted. Is there a benefit to ODIN back to stock recovery? When I install safestrap, will the TWRP that comes with safestrap overwrite the other recoveries I installed before?

I havent read everything on the boot process but I believes it hijacks it and sends it into the safestrap im nearly positive it doesnt overwrite the stock recovery. I could be wrong tho. I would reflash the stock image so I would have a stock recovery but thats me.
