Evo wont go to recovery - EVO 4G General

Ok ever since I got my new 32gb SD card I've been having problems getting some fictions on my phone to work. I was able to swirl through my phone not changing my splashscreen. But now I'm trying to get into recovery to load ciui rom and it wont go into recovery. I've tried to go into it from rom manager as well and no luck. All it does is take me to bootloader and ask if I want to update I say yes or no and then try to go into recovery and it just goes back to bootloader screen. Is there a setting I may have accidentally changed or any ideas on where to start. Thanks for the help

Nevermind. I just needed to flash recovery. I'm a moron.

Aha that might help!
But to others who do see this thread and have a recovery installed and still cant go into recovery try nandroiding your device then do a factory reset and wipe your caches and it should get it working again.

How can they do a nandroid is they can't get to recovery??
Think about it

The best way to get to recovery when this happens is to flash recovery from Rom Manager. =) problem solved.

ROM Manager actually sucks, tbh, for flashing anything

Ya. ROM manager had some nice tools and functions, but for doing stuff in recovery I wouldn't recommend...

Yes, I'm using the latest version. But that doesn't matter because I can't even get into CWM. It's stuck on Samsung Screen during bootup, bottom lights won't light up.

Yes Odin to stock EC05. Root with CWM3.0.2.5 one-click then flash the rom. I had the same problem. Make sure the ROM is on your SD card before you get started though.

No. All fixed now. Thank goodness. I just ODIN back to stock, re-rooted with CWM, and started over. All is working well!
Odin always works
Same thing happened to me my first flash of EE03. Re Odin, reflash and make sure to properly wipe.....lol.... I flashed the rom and the add ons first, then odin'ed the modem. The second time it worked like a charm. Give it a try, you will love the results.... Btw, try out the tw4 theme too..... Amazing

I need some help

So my friend gave me his broken mytouch 4g, It's stuck at the boot screen and when I hboot to recovery it gives me the red triangle with exclamation point in the middle of it I am assuming this means I have no recovery installed? I can get to hboot and trying to factory reset it doesn't work either. It's not rooted or have any custom rom installed so I don't know how to fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated,

using the method Phateless gave you doesn't involve moving files to the phone. the zip file goes on the SD card, and then boot phone into hboot

You will move the files to the micro sd card. then boot into hboot, it will read the pd15img.zip and then you can select to flash that img. it will restore the phone to stock settings. you can then proceed to root and install cwm recovery.

Don't worry bricking your phone is unlikely unless you do something silly and don't follow the guides correctly.

Welcome to the section. Check out the guides for rooting and installing custom roms on your phone. There isn't really a big chance of getting your phone bricked. Once you root it, you'll feel alot safer because the worst thing that can happen is a bootloop. (Which can be repaired!)

Its fairly simple when you actually do it, revolutionary does all the hard work for you. The guides just look scary as there's so much in them.

Try it with and without the phone plugged in. I think you'll probably have to have it plugged in.

okay i did all that now its stuck on the cyanogen loading screen what can i do
You've done the hard part don't worry its not broken. It should take around 5-10 minutes for first boot anyway so if its only been a minute or two and the rhythm of the boot logo is still turning smoothly and not pausing or restarting just leave it a little longer but if the logo freezes and restarts over and over this is called a bootloop. Easily fixed by rebooting into recovery again then select the wipe menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache and data then install your cm7 zip again. Everything should work then.

hmm i may have ruined it then for i just re did the installing of RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814
then left it at that for it worked then lol, is there anything i can do to get it actually done from there

yes i can still get to clockwork recovery by rebooting into hboot and going through recovery, ive also got the super user app in my apps
Just check in hboot that you are s-off and as you can still get recovery you're good to go, remember to wipe dalvik cache, cache and data when changing roms, if its an update you might get away with not wiping data sometimes. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Before you flash cm7 again just run the backup in cwm then if it goes wrong again you can just restore.

[Q] DX Wipe...with Root

Hey I have a DX...it is rooted. But I'm giving it to my daughter and I want to wipe it before I do. If I just do the system factory reset will it lose the root? Any help on this will help. I have already manually taken all of my apps and pics off of the phone just need to set it up to be hers. Thank in advance.
If you still have ClockwordMod Recovery installed, just wipe data.

Okay, now that I have that done...Did the wipe through Recovery Screen. The phone won't reboot...it's stuck on M screen upon reboot. What did I do wrong?
PS ~ Looked around on here and it said to do another wipe because of the sticking on Motorola Logo screen...I did that...it still sticks at Logo Screen. Did I brick this phone?? Please tell me I didn't and there is a way to fix this. Battery is fully charged, can take it out and get to recovery screen...it is just not going passed the Logo screen.
you can never loose root from a factory wipe .
From what I know Rom manager and bootstrap dont play nice.
Sounds like it's sbf time.
Listen just sbf, root, install boostrap and be done with it .
Rom manager can be a pita and unless you're going to be installing roms, not worth it imo.

First off, this is the wrong section. But don't worry, everyone makes mistakes lol.
And now for the recovery. If you could get into your phone, like start it up and stuff. Install this app --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Then install the app and open it. The rest is straight forward. It will install the recovery for you. Hope it helps.
Well if u installed recovery from ROM manager then u already flashed a recovery. U can boot into recovery from ROM manager app.
The link that notorious is providing is to flash a different recovery in the same way.

Yes of course but it might get a little difficult for someone that has never done it.
I was just saying since the recovery was already installed there was nothing more that needed to be done.
