So I was rooted with Clockword recovery. I just updated rom manager to 3.0.0.0 and flashed the new recovery image with it. Through the UI, I tried to do a backup but when the phone restarted, it was stuck at the fastboot screen. I tried to manually go into Recovery, but the screen goes black -> google -> fastboot. Tried to turn it off and hold volume ^ + power = fastboot but still can't get into recovery.
Advice?

As long as you can still get into fastboot you should be recoverable. Head over the development section and grab a copy of the CWM 2 recovery image and try re-flashing it. That should at least put you back to where you can get into Recovery.
You could also try the stock recovery image in one of the threads there, but I've seen reports that it doesn't boot either.
Here's the thread for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875

I just got the new CWM recovery update through Rom Manager today, and it said it was successfully flashed, but the phone only hangs on the HTC logo when goingto recovery. I can still do fastboot and boot to Android tho, so I'm now gonna try to figure out how to get my recovery back before something bad happes xD
anyone have advice or know where I can download a standalone copy of CWM 5.0.0.1 for G2?
Wish me luck I'll keep updating as things progress
okipokey, solved my own issue. Just had to reflash back to an older recovery and try again a couple times before it stuck.
Time to test out the new recovery!
I decided to flash the upgrade as well. The flash went perfectly. However, I couldn't boot into recovery while within Android. I had to power off and boot into the bootloader and then select recovery... Whenever I tried to reboot to recovery via the Android UI, it restarted and hung at the boot splash screen.. It didn't even work if you selected the option from the ROM Manager itself... I rolled back to previous version as well and its working again. It may be a bug... Early adopters nightmare....
Same here just reinstalled the new version and it worked second time round
must be a bug they havn't quite worked out. Next time I'll do a fastboot flash instead for a low build number.
First time I flashed I tried it from a battery pull through HBOOT and it still hung. Reflash to 3.5 and then back to 5.0 fixed it like you guys

try just reflashing version 5 I had the same problem,but rebooted the phone reflashed version 5 from the rom manager and now is all good
I just sent the dev a comment about it on his Google+
maybe he'll have a fix out soon
Nice one, seems a "double flash" fixes it have just tested 3 or 4 times,seems to be working
yessir, seems to me that if it's a bug its really minor. I can see this being a problem if someone accidentally screws up something on their phone right after flashing the recovery, but not very likely and they'd still be able to reflash through fastboot
Seemed to flash the new version ok. But then, when trying to boot into recovery for the first time, the phone hung on the HTC logo boot splash. Pulled battery, and booted into recovery ok after that.
that's interesting that some of you didn't hang after the battery pull while mine did. Maybe it depends which version we're upgrading from?
stuck at htc
hey i also had this problem and i can't get my g2 to boot up at all. It hangs at the htc screen. I don't know how to fix this issue as i was trying to restore a backup from recovery right after the update. i can't get into recovery or anything else...all i get is the htc screen. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Any sign of a changelog?

found this
-From Mr.Dutta via G+
I've just finished releasing updates to a bunch of devices to ClockworkMod Recovery 5.
Major changes:
Backups now use tar over yaffs for everything except mtd partitions. Backups got way faster.
Backups now preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. Restores will restore the appropriate filesystem type at restore.
Please update to ROM Manager 4.4.0.3 or higher and try out the new recovery!
Troubleshooting:
Flashing issues: If a recovery does not flash properly, enable erase recovery in settings and try flashing it again. Recovery flashing can be finicky at times.
Bugs: Report them to me! You can always revert back to the older recovery too from within ROM Manager!
So far no issues here while playing around.
my issue is i can't get back to android at all now. i went into rom manager to restore a backup and was told there was an update, then it reflashed the recovery. When i tried to restore my backup it froze and i have not been able to get past the htc screen at all.

can you get into the HBOOT?
pull the battery, put it back in, hold the volume down button and then hit the power button. you should come to a white screen with some options
In the case you want to update your recovery using fastboot method, heres what you'll need:
CWM 5.0.0.1 for G2 (Vision)
HTC Sync drivers
ADB fastboot from Android SDK
Make sure your phone is all the way off by pulling the battery. Get into the HBOOT by holding down the volume down button and then hitting the power. use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select. Choose "FASTBOOT"
Rename the recovery that you downloaded from CWM to "recovery.img" and put it in your ADB and Fastboot folder
plug your phone into your computer and pull up a command line for your adb/tools/ or adb/platform-tools/ folder where you should have ADB and Fastboot.
under the command line type in:
fastboot devices
<list of devices>
If you do not see your device make sure the cable is plugged in and your drivers are installed. if still nothing try a different cable til you get it to be recognized by the computer.
Once it's recognized do:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
when its done:
reboot
I flashed through ROM manager. On suggestion, I checked the box for "erase recovery - recovery will be erased prior to flashing". On first reboot to recovery it sticks at HTC screen. Pulling battery and vol. up+power then entering recovery the 2nd time works just fine.
Hope this helps.
im trying to put it back to stock, but when i power & vol up,
and select recovery, after google logo im getting
exclamation mark & green android.
thing is i cant remember how i rooted it and now i've forgot which website i used to do it. is there a set way to ubroot this where i wont brick it?

if you mean not only unroot but also reflash a stock rom, you will have to boot to bootloader(by press vol+ and power to turn on your phone) , then flash clockwork recovery
-place the recovery3101.img in the tools folder and type the following command
fastboot flash recovery recovery3101.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then select recovery
and at last flash a stock rom just like you flash superuser.zip
You are running stock recovery (Most likely due to stock rom loading the stock recovery on your phone every time it reboots.So just connect your phone to PC and flash cwm recovery then you can unroot your phone easily.
I cannot figure out how to boot into recovery from phone off state. If I go to ROM Toolbox pro and reboot that way into recovery, then it works fine, but NOT from phone off state. Thanks.
Press/hold vol down + press/hold power will get you to the bootloader, then select recovery from there.

Did you "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" or "fastboot boot recovery.img"?
Got, it. Reinstalling recovery from Goomanager, worked. For whatever reason, my recovery was repalced or gone.

Hey the same thing is happening to me as I am using my Nexus 5. Can you please show me how to do what you did to find this. I cannot boot into recovery. When I try installing TWRP from GooManager it just says it will download but it never does and then after a while the app shuts down. I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom Manager and it downloads all the way and than says that a problem occured. Can somebody please help me with my situation. When I press the power button and the volume down button and it brings me to the bootloader and i navigate to recovery, it just brings an android guy with a red triangle. please help me. I just want a custom recovery. I don't care what it is. Either TWRP or clockwork mod.

Hello forum peoples. Recently I have tried to flashthe paranoid android firmware using flasherfy. I have twrp installed but idk if I was supposed to do with it. My phone is now in a boot loop because of my attempted flash. Please help me fix this. I am able to boot into both firmware update mode and factory reset mode. For the factory reset mode I am able to boot into the reset mode but as soon as I try to wipe it just reboots again. I have tried to use the lg firmware update tool using com5 and com41 and using both they stop at 49% and the phone just disconnects from the program/computer. Help Please! !
EDIT: I have an lg g2

For stock recovery, yes you'll see that screen. On that screen all you have to do is press power button and then press volume up (just one quick press) and it will take you into recovery menu.

You have a LG G2, so please. Ask in you device respective forum. LG G2 got its own forum too you know.
Using the LG Google Nexus 4 ToolKit, I did the 1 click for all operation [unlock, root,rename,busybox, custom recovery twrp]. I'm rooted properly but I'm just not able to boot into recovery. I tried booting to fastboot, selection recovery with the volume rocker, then pressing the power key, but this just got me back to Android in a minute or so. I downloaded an app from the Play store which boots into recovery but it also boots me straight to android.
I tried separately flashing the recovery via the ToolKit but again I always boot straight to android. How do I fix this?

flash your recovery via fastboot. fastboot flash it, dont fastboot boot it. fastboot booting it only gives you a one time use. also, if you are using the stock rom, you have to delete the recovery-from-boot.p file so your custom recovery doesnt get overwritten by the stock recovery.
Hi guys, I've unlocked my bootloader and flashed CWM from:http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager, I've flashed and didn't get any errors, boot to Android and did "adb reboot recovery", I get in a screen with the android with a red triangle, stayed for some mins and nothing, I turned off and boot to Android, turned off again and turn on by Power + Vol -, Select Recovery and samething...
obs: I used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654 and downloaded this SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/345/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.51.zip
How can I boot to recovery?
Another thing does SuperSU v1.51 works on Android 4.3?
Thanks
The screen with just a red triangle is stock recovery. Press and hold power and press volume up and you should get the stock recovery menu.
Try flashing CWM from fastboot manually as it's not taking with ROM Manager (which I don't rate anyway)
