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.

I recently installed this new Rom 3.0.1. I can no longer boot into recovery. I can't even get into fastboot menu by pressing volume down and power. When I do it merely powers up. Any help. It appears I lost root too!
You're done. Your phone is a brick. Time to use TEP
Did you do what I said in your other topic?

I had to download rom manager to get to recovery after I flashed virtuous.

Did you turn off the fast reboot?
Try turning of fastboot, or just do a battery pull, then hold power and vol. down. Assuming your recovery is intact, you should be able to go into it from the bootloader, if not, repeat steps above with PG8600whatever-it-is.zip recovery flashable in the root of your sd card.
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 paid for the premium version of Clockwork mod, I just rooted and unlocked the bootloader on my phone and I was curious on how I get my phone to boot into clockwork recovery mode. I tried holding volume down, home button and power button at the same time but that goes into downloading mode.
That's because it's volume up for recovery

it is possible that the app didn't automatically set up CWM boot ...
open rom manager
tap on Flash CWM Recovery
wait for the flash to complete...
test it by rebooting from the rom manager app.

It is possible, but holding the wrong buttons like the op was will result in not getting into cwm 100% of the time.

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.

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.

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.
