Ok so I flashed the root clockwork file with Odin, then superoneclick.
I wanted to test the recovery going into download mode but still no recovery (had to reflash the clockwork file with Odin again to get out from download mode).
So I downloaded from the market Rom Manager and installed it, then I downloaded and installed clockwork recovery from Rom manager choosing ''galaxy S2''
Then I choosed ''reboot into recovery'' as I always did with previous phones to go directly into recovery.
The phone shuted down quicker than usual, then rebooted with a yellow triangle AND a green Droid!
I had to pull the battery then put it back...then I was into clockwork recovery menu
What happened?
It will occur everytime or only first time? It's really a big operation to open the battery cover

I'm running an old version of GummyJAR and am trying to switch over to CM7 official nightlies. My phone is already rooted and I installed Clockwork Recovery from ROM Manager. However, when I boot into bootstrap from poweroff it just says:
Bootloader
30.04
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
There's no options to select from or anything. When I boot into Clockwork with ROM Manager, my phone just reboots and starts up normally again. Am I missing something here?
When you say you are booting into bootstrap (the screen that says 30.04) you are actually booting into the bootloader that we use to sbf the phone, not recovery.
Now as for not getting into recovery from bootstrap on the phone, you may want to go into rom manager and reflash the latest recovery, and then boot into recovery from rom manager. That may solve the problem.
I hope this helps!
Following instructions on this forum I installed droid 2 bootstrap in order to have clockworkmod recovery.
Then I installed rom manager and installed the latest clockworkmod recovery from it.
Now everytime I reboot or powerup after a shutdown, the phone always launches
clockworkmod recovery first
I have to give a couple of times the reboot system in cwm recovery and go through a few reboots before the system normally boots up.
Has anyone had this type of problem and maybe solved it?
Thanks a lot
earlier today, i was trying to make a backup, but i had the red exclamation logo when i went into clockwork mod recovery mod, so i flashed a newer version of clockwork mod using flashboot fast boot. After that, clockwork mod worked, and i made my ndroid back up. now, i cant leave clockwork mod. if i select "reboot system now", clockwork mod would open again. i am able to get into bootloader mode by holding onto volume up and power, but if i press "start", it would go back into clockwork mod.i also tried to restore the phone using the backup, but that didnt help..is there anyway i can get out of clockwork mod?
Do you have a ROM installed?
no, it's only rooted
maybe u can try flash TWRP. to check maybe it can boot up your rom.
Hi there,
I wanted to install latest CM10.1 coming from 0526 yesterday on my Defy+.
Did a backup with TWRP first.
Then the flashing failed, so I wanted to recover from backup.
Phone now is stuck at Motorola M not booting anymore.
When I enter bootloader (vol down) and want to enter "custom recover" he just jumps back to the same menu. TWRP is not starting.
Choosing "stock recovery" is possible, but if I choose a CM10.1 zip file it's not accepted.
RSD Lite does not recognize the phone when it's in the bootloader menu or in the stock recover menu.
Help is very much appreciated, what can I do?
Thanks and best regards.

Okay, I found out why I couldn't enter flash mode by using Vol+ when starting.
The phone powered already up when I put in the battery, so I always pushed Vol+ too late.
Pressing Vol+ WHILE inserting the battery did the trick, phone went into flash mode and I could re-flash 2.3.6 sbf using RSD lite.

Still not sure why TWRP was messed up just by recovering from a TWRP-made backup...
Best regards
Same situation to me.
I opened Terminal Emulator, gained root access
then type below command to get recovery mode
# reboot recovery
Custom recovery not running
I have a similar issue.
I rooted my stock S4 and installed the proper TWRP.
Heres where my situation is a bit different from anything I have seen on the forum threads. All attempts—both hard and soft—to reboot into recovery, all direct the reboot to Odin Mode. Just to clarify I have not flashed any rom custom or stock, the only thing I have flashed has been TWRP and CWM recovery. And I only flashed CWM AFTER the Failings of TWRP.
When I attempt to boot into recovery, it flashes the blue characters then sends me into a Odin Mode loop until I hard-key the "download mode" and select restart to boot the os normally.
my phone works fine other than not being able to flash custom roms, which is a pain in the arse especially with all the s4 Bloatware.
Here's what I have done so far to help myself:
• install CWM recovery
• tried hard-key reboot recovery (power off/ press home/volume up/power)
• soft reboot recovery through both Goo, CWM and ROM Toolbox pro
• removed my sd card and tried reboot recovery
• removed battery and reboot recovery
• emulator reboot recovery
• reboot recovery both with and without usb cable
I looked into flashing stock with Odin but all tutorials i could find were of an older version and I didnt want to guess what I needed to get that to work,
Please let me know if theres anything I can do.

Hi everyone, I am hoping someone on this site can help me with my issue. I have the SPRINT GS4
My goal was to root my phone, install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) and then install the stock Android 4.2 google play edition rom. (Basically I want my S4 to be running 4.2 Vanilla Android)
I am new to all this so I did some research and followed a couple tutorials on youtube.
As far as I can tell I was able to successfully ROOT my device. Titanium Backup says its rooted and so does the superuser app in my app drawer.
Here is where I run into my issue.
When I try to access my custom recovery (Holding down Volume up, home, and power) it takes me to a screen that says:
Android System Recovery<3e>
Reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Appling Multi-CSC...
Applied the CSC-code : SPR
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
(This screen also has the image of the green android guy laying on its back with its chest opened up and red exclamation mark above it)
I don't know what I am supposed to do here. I have tried the app goo manager and clockwork manager to install the custom recovery and reboot into recovery but both give me errors and it wont work. What do I Do?
open goo manager and press menu key (bottom left)
pick install openrecoveryscript let it download you will get TWRP 2.6
if you get an error downloading twrp in goo manager try again

How are you rebooting into recovery ? I do not think you install TWRP properly make sure phone is rooted and try goo manager again make sure it actually downloads the app it will take few minutes to download.
i had similar problem were i thought goo manager install TWRP but in fact it never did
1. turn off phone hold volume up / home and power button simultaneously and as soon as you see a blue text on top left corner release all the buttons you will be in recovery.
2. from goo manager there is an option reboot recovery
3. i instal the 4-in-1 Reboot Menu Mod - if you slecet restart it will give you option to reboot into recovery
