Can't boot into Recovery - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I can boot into clockworkmod recovery no matter which way I try I tried reflashing it and still no luck, and I was wondering if I was supposed to have the update zip on my SD card cuz its not there no more and I looked in the clockworkmod folder of my SD card to see if I can just move it but its not there either...any ideas what I should do?

Are you flashing clockworkmod recovery through ROM Manager or through fastboot (or have you tried both)? What happens if you manually boot into the bootloader and select RECOVERY? What do you see?

[Q] Do I have a brick?

I was running CM7 RC3 fine on my phone, then I decided to switch back to my nandroid backup to stock ( I have done this wil ICed glacier/CM7 RC2/RC1/Royal Ginger etc with no problems). And I have been stuck on the boot splash screen the "Tmobile Mytouch 4g" screen for 20 minutes now without any action... is this a brick? I know I should not worry, but I tried wiping the dalvik cache the acahe and reset to factory setting.... still nothing
How do I go about getting the phone to work?
Thanks
are you running recovery 3.0.0.6? have you tried a battery pull?
Yes, a battery pull was tried, and I am running 3.0.0.5... any help is really appreciated
How do I possibly install 3.0.0.6 now? is it possible?
Thanks
need 3.0.0.6 to run stock or royal glacier. or 2.5.1.2. need to reinstall cm7 and use rom manager to flash recovery. or at least its the eaisest way for me.
follow drews guide and let us know how it goes. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681
unfortunately, I am not being able to go back to royal ginger (its on the toyal ginger splash screen now) I am downloading CM7 RC3 again, but have no way to put it on the sdcard coz I do not have a card reader at this point....... so frustrated.
you can use recovery to mount usb and it will mount the sd card and can tranfer files from computer to card. if you can get to recovery its not bricked. make sure you format boot sys data and cache in mount screen before trying reflash.
Push the cwm 3.0.0.6 recovery image to your phone via adb

Google easy way to get 3.0.0.6 and it should be a zip file u flash in recovery called clockwork_recoveries.zip or something like that. You go into rom manager pick all recoveries and flash 3.0.0.5 and reboot into recovery and it should say 3.0.0.6 now u can flash any rom and restore without getting stuck

Your phone is not bricked. As others have stated, you need to re-flash a gingerbread ROM (like CM7) in order for it to boot.
Best thing to do is install ClockworkMod Recovery version 3.0.0.6 because it can flash both gingerbread and froyo ROMs. You can do this in two ways:
1. Re-flash a Gingerbread ROM. Download TrueBlue_Drew's .zip file from his thread in Development and follow his instructions to be able to flash the included recovery images from ROM Manager.
2. If you have the engineering bootloader (0.85.2007, also some people call it ENG SPL), and if you've set up ADB on your computer, then you can use the fastboot utility to flash recovery images directly to the device. I personally prefer this method. If you can't find instructions to do this, PM me.

Clockwork Recovery issue

So got update notifcation about new recovery in Rommanager
Anyone else having issues with new cwr 3.0.2.4 not working
ATM I reverted back to previous build
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
yeah it didnt work. continue to use 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.2.5 (find it in dev forums and flash it via fastboot). or you could try playing with 3.0.2.4
by: fixing permissions, reboot, reflash recovery in ROM manager
fastboot flash 3.0.2.4 http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img

I was able to get it to work fine. I actually just used it to flash a new rom. I downloaded the new version via rom manager. did a nandroid, mounted sd card, copied contents to pc. unmounted card, wiped sd card, wiped cache, remounted pushed zip file, applied update from zip ( new rom ) did another nandroid all without error....

Error recovery flashing...

I found that after flashing or repartitioning cwm using hd2 toolkit, i am unable to flash any recovery (tried touch recoveries, cwm 5.xxx downloaded using rom manager etc) via cwm zip flashing.
Always got error, bad headder and if i reboot the phone after that, it will also erase my current recovery too...( got this when i tried to flash touch recovery)
Do any one know whats the problem?? It comes not from a bad recovery.zip or recovery.img, as i had flazhed same before...
Though i dont know what cause it, i found a solution, i just changed the recovery.img comes with dft recovery flasher, which flash recovery to phone via usb flasher mode, with the recovery.img from touchrecovery flashable.zip, flashed it, got working touch recovery, and now i can flash any recovery.zip from phone itself via cwm.
But i never know why cant i able to flash some other recovery.zip from phone, if i use original recovery from hd2tool kit. Any body have got the ans? Pls let me know whatz the cause.

Are you using the newest version of HD2 toolkit? The newest one includes recovery 5.0.2.6
I have used the toolkit many many times, and never had one problem.
Yap. And it flashes it. Ie 5.0.2.6.
But rom manager got 5.0.2.7
And touch recovery rc 1.

Maybe you have some bad blocks in the recovery partition.

FUBAR

So I tried to update my wife's nook color from cm7 to the latest cm10. I had messed up the partition layout before but she would never let me try to fix it, so I was trying to re partition it to the 1/5 set up. It will not read the SD card, either within the ROM or in recovery. I was able to get the repartition files to what the ROM thinks is the SD card but it won't flash. I tried to reboot into recovery to flash the reformat zip and it is now stuck in cyanoboot. It will not boot into recovery, ROM (CM7), or a boot able SD I made.
What are my options?
Force a factory reset and start over? I've never had luck with the 8 failed to boot method.
Thanks foe the help

You need to use my bootable CWM card found in my tips thread linked in my signature. It has been modified to boot in these circumstances. Then go to my partition repair thread and run those zips. It will take you back to 1/5.

I gotta say, you guys here in the NC forums are the best. Thanks form the quick reply
**edit**
So I got it up and running, just one little issue. It gets stuck at the bootloader screen and it wont boot into recovery. I can get it yo boot into the sd recovery and flash/backup whatever I want, and then reboot system. But it won't reboot recovery from cm10 or cyano boot menu

Do you mean to boot to internal recovery? There is none there after you did the partition repair. It wiped everything. And if you put a CM rom back on it, that does not put any recovery on it, just the rom. Go to my tips thread linked in my signature and there are several recoveries there to put on emmc. I recommend the 5.5.0.4 version for emmc.

"or reboot into the rom". What does that mean? You cannot get the new flashed rom to boot? Or did you mean you could not get it to boot to internal recovery from the power menu in CM10? If the latter, try installing a different recovery to internal to see if the twrp install corrupted somehow.
