I just perm rooted my shift and i flashed the recovery with the latest clockwork mod i think its like 3.0.14 or somethin anyways I cant access the recovery screen. I've installed roms before on the G1 but i cant figure this out. I can get to fastboot and i try and get to bootloader from there but it sits at the white screen with the HTC logo. I tried to install the rom from rom manager and that did the same logo screen.
I'd really like to get gingerbread workin so it would be nice if someone has a fix 8)
Thanks for reading my post.
I would reflash the recovery and reboot the phone if this doesn't work manually flash the recovery to the phone then boot to recovery from the bootloader.
Killer Shift
I had to set it up through fastboot. I figured it out like an hour after i posted. I hope this helps anyone with the same problem. Go to the perm-root for dummies and scroll down to the recovery instructions. Bam done.

Basically i desided i would give the Rom manger and Clock Work Recovery a try, So i downloaded the App from the market and installed it then used it to flash the recovery. However now when i try to boot into recovery it just hangs at the Vodafone Screen at boot up.
I tried to reflash RA Recovery however if i do it within the Rom Manager it does the same and hangs when trying to boot to recovery mode. I tried flashing it by the terminal but that did work either.
So does anyone know what i should do!
try flashing via fastboot
how do i use fastboot? when i boot to fast boot the only options i have are
HBoot Mode
Reset device
Restart to HBoot
Power down
OK i tried flashing using fastboot but i got an error 'FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)'
same problem
i got the saame problem as youu!
Damn rom manager killd my recovery , not even the clockwork recovery will boot up! which sucks because now im stuck on superbad 1.3, i want to go back to cynagoen !!!

I have been able to fix my problem hope this helps for you to!
i downloaded Amon_RA's recovery and trying installing using the terminal method. I got memory errors saying i was out of memory etc. so i turned SWAP on with 128mb and then swappyness to 60 an tried again, and this time it worked!
Couldnt be complete luck but i would give it a try if i was you
What worked for me.
I had this same problem. I spent hours and hours trying everything under the sun. This happened to me on Cyanogen 5.0.7 DStest7. I notice a lot of people on the cyanogen forum claiming that's what they use. I purchased the pro version and installed clockwork recovery through the app. I tried a lot of things and they all failed. I tried droid explorer exe to flash the recovery, fastboot method, I tried reflashing clockwork, terminal with and with out memory managers running. Finally, I tried flashing the Amon 1.6.2 recovery 3 times in a row with the clockwork app. I did a reboot every time. The last one took and I uninstalled clockwork. I'll probably never change it.
it has only killed your recovery because you selected the wrong option, you must flash the first option (Ion/MyTouch 3G) this is the version for the vodafone 32B handset
I was also frustrated when i chose the HTC Magic option and it hanging on the red voda splash screen
Hope i helped
please somebody helps me with the recovery as well..
im using motorola milestone..
i rooted my phone using UNIVERSAL ANDROOT.. the rooting went fine... plus flashing the clockwork recovery via rom manager went fine.. but everytime i reboot into recovery the recovery triangle logo just blinks for a second and my phone reboots and comes back normally to the homescreen.. how to ablolish this problem?
Best Regards.
I too am experiencing this problem. Flashed CWM Recovery today, then later flashed amon ra. Got into amon ra and successfully did a nand backup, then left it for a few hours. Just now tried to boot into recovery and got the oem android recovery 2e. Wtf is that about??
So I downloaded Clockwork Mod onto my phone and I have root access (thanks to AndRoot) -- so I've been able to flash the ClockworkMod recovery or the RA recovery onto my phone.
However it won't let me boot into the recovery mode (HOME+POWER).
The odd time I can boot into the Clockwork recovery, but as soon as a screen comes up it immediately reboots and then it won't let me boot up.
With RA recovery it wont' get me into anything....
Any suggestions? It's an HTC Magic (Rogers), so it's a 32A phone (as far as I know) and it's really a pain living with just 2.1.
When flashing RA recovery, are you using H? G is for 32B.
yup it was like 1.70h or whatever... made sure of that
but it would never boot into recovery mode...
Dwnload rom manager from market. The app has an option to reboot into recovery. I haven't tried it personally but hope it helps.
i've tried rebooting into the mode that way... still when it reboots and just as i see something it reboots automatically again... and then it'll just come up with that warning screen and i'll have to pull the battery
yesterday i reflash the rom
form official 1.6~2.2(318)
(before that i had flash the DJ.steve 1.5.2 and official 2.2 )
before i flash 1.6 all is fine , then i flash the 2.2..
i get into the recovery mod(recovery.stock.new.img) and flash
done... and auto reboot....then stuck on dell logo over 20 mins
and i took off the battery , restart hmmm and stuck forever on dell logo
i try to reflash other roms but i just can get into the the mode which choice the
1~4(factory reset.....poweroff) but everytime i choice the recovery mode it just
turn to black screen and stuck
i also try use fastboot to flash other recovery img (Clockwork recovery , Streak
recovery) all is the same...XD
does anyone had solution or method?
I had issues getting into Clockworkmod so I flashed Mistadman's recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326 and then had no problems. Just remember that when it boots recovery, you'll get a Dell logo with an exclamation mark inside a triangle. You need to press the power button for the recovery menu to appear.
Failing that, QDL tool could take care of it.
StreakMod Recovery i had tried but is the same..XD
I might not be following your problem clearly...
But if u can boot up... try loading ROM Manager (market)... it looks like that app puts the latest Clockwork on your device with one click.
(I did not load mine this way... but looking at the app that's what it can do).
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
hmm
but i cannot boot up into andriod so....
If you can't boot or get into recovery then QDL is your only option. Follow the steps here:
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
hmm
but before crash i already installed the QDLtool and sucessfully flash steve rom 1.5.2
new system crash i get redo all the step on the page? or i have to flash other data by
fastboot?
i didnt get that XD!
sry
still stuck... cry..
Hi there, Ive just been trying to get root on the phone. I flashed CWM 3.0.2.4 onto my NS (2.3.4) and now it only boots into CWM, wont boot into android. How do I get it to boot to android! No idea what to do, Ive googled the **** out of this and just get loads of conflicting stuff, none of which works!
Thanks for the help!
What is the command you used to flash CWM onto your phone?
hi i have the same problem. i have i9023 and i made:
oem unlock command and the flash recovery command.
everything was ok.
then i used superroot-user-install.bat or something like that (which was mistake on 9023 i think)
after this i can start phone with volume up+power and can go into recovery.
but if i want to reboot into system i had just google logo and litlle logo of lock down on the screen and thats all.
Stupid question: did you try yanking the battery?
I have the same problem! I'm stuck in the ClockworkMod Recovery. Rebooted the phone multiple times, no change :S
EDIT: Panic is over, fixed it
I got that problem too when i tried to root my NS, then I downloaded the stock image > extract to get the original bootimage > flash it > reboot CWM recovery > problem solved.
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?
Luis
Any sign of a changelog?
I have no idea how to get to a changelog...can you tell me how?

-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.
