Rom Manager Killed my recovery....help? (32B)

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!

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??

[Q] Can't boot to ClockWorkMod Recovery

Hello,
First of all, I tried to search, but all solutions found did not work.
Now, the problem: I can't boot to ClockWorkMod Recovery anymore (version 2.5.0.7.). The phone just goes to the dreaded Red Triangle with the Exclamation sign. I tried Power + Volume Down, then to recovery, I get and error: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command".
I tried to reflash the ClockworkMod recovery from the ROM Manager menu, but it didn't solve the problem.
Thank you for any suggestions.

After the E:Can't open... message appears, wait for a while, and a blue menu appears. There choose "Apply sdcard: update.zip" (which, I believe, is there if you flashed CWM), and that should launch recovery mode.
At least that works for me. Good luck!

Thank you, it works. I then rebooted it and all is ok. Still when tried to access recovery via ClockWorkMod it doesn't work. Any ideas?

What do you mean by "recovery"? CWM recovery screen? You said that it works, after applying the update.zip that should bring you to recovery screen.

The update.zip will not flash your recovery partition. You need S-OFF and to use ADB to flash a new one.

[Q] Cannot install rom

I have rooted my magic and have been trying to install CyanogenMod but I can't. This is what I have done so far.
1) Rooted the phone using Superoneclick. This was a success and I got superuser
2) I then installed mod manager and downloaded cyanogenmod
3) I chose to install cyanagen made a backup and wiped data
4) The phone restarted but hung on the red vodafone flash screen, it stayed this way for over 20mins
5) I got the phone working again but messing around with the battery turning it on and off
6) I then thought to install the mod from recovery and so I booted into recovery but I was met with a triangle and exclamation mark with a phone lying on the side
7) I got through this by holding home and power
8) I got into recovery but now I can't install because when I go to apply sdcard:update.zip I get the message E:signature verification failed Installation aborted
I have the update.zip in the root of the sdcard but nothing works. What can I do next? I have also tried to install custom recovery using this guide but when inputting this command: adb push C:\roottools\3.22Radio\recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img /sdcard
I get the message that it failes because sd card is a directory. Any suggestions as to what I can do would be most appreciated.

[Q] stuck on clockworkmod recovery

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.

[Q] n900w8 Won't boot into recovery mode

A few months ago I rooted my N900w8, installed custom recovery (cwm), and flashed Android L. Today I tried to update the recovery, planning on updating the ROM as well. But now no custom recovery works at all, even the one I had running before. When trying to boot into recovery it says booting recovery... like it should, and then the screen just goes blank, then the phone restarts. Sometimes getting stuck in a bootloop trying to boot to recovery, but usually just regularly booting and boots normally to Android L. So now I am unable to update my ROM because not a single custom recovery has worked and therefore I cant flash the .img files. Please Help!

I had the same issue except when I try to load recovery it would "forward" itself to download mode.
This may work for you, try re-flashing the latest CWM update with Odin. Place your phone in download mode by powering it off and holding Volume Down + Home + Power. Press volume up to proceed.
1. Download and extract
2. Run Odin as Administrator (Download if you don't have already)
3. Select CMW file from your download folder and place it in the "AP" section.
4. Start
When finished, Reboot holding Volume UP + Menu + Power Button. Vola!
Let me know if this works for you.

Yeah depending on which recovery I flash it'll either forward to download mode, get stuck in a boot loop trying to start recovery, or restart and load the ROM.
Unfortunately it still isn't working :/ I used the tool from this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269) to convert the .img to a flashable odin file. Used the proper Canadian touch recovery (also tried recovery without touch) from this page (https://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager) and no luck. Tried to enter recovery mode, it says entering recovery mode, goes black for a few seconds, vibrates then restarts the phone in regular boot mode :/ Any more idea's?
Do I need to be flashing a recovery that supports Android 5.0.2 for it to work? Im so puzzled.

YES!! Finally I was able to get a TWRP 2.8.5.0 working. Downloaded latest version from the main TWRP site and flashed using ODIN, did not use the converting tool above, downloaded the TWRP as a .tar flashable file from their site. Thanks for the help!
Do I need to close this thread or anything? This is my first time posting on xda

Congratulations on solving your own problem! ^_^
I just figured to share my part when i experienced the same issue. I feel like it has somehow corrupt itself after it finished flashing which results in an empty directory for the recovery mode.
