Permarooted s-off still get no CWM recovery mode!?

I am rooted with s-off running on a ATT simcard but still can't boot in CWM recovery. In rom manager it says: current recovery Clockworkmode 3.0.2.4
Whenever I attempt to boot into recovery the MT4G comes up it reboots and it comes up agains and boots regularly. Any thoughts?
I followed all the instructions in this thread and am at the 85.xxx bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996

I am bone stock other since I've not be able to get into recovery mode. Would a factory reset help?

Do it manually. Go to the bootloader and load recovery from there, or use adb and type adb reboot recovery.

adb does the same thing it attempts to get into recovery then goes blank and reboots regular and same thing with hboot.

Do you have fastboot on?

Nope. Fastboot is off. I can't even factory reset the phone. It just reboots like with everything else

most likely it feels as if the recovery image didn't take.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
from there select "recovery" and see what boot loader you are using. If you have the engineering screen manually flash it.

1. Download CWR3. - link supplied above
2. Save to your Android SDK tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) or platform-tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) folder and rename to recovery.img
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Hold the volume down button + power until you boot to a white screen.
5. Use the volume rocker to select FASTBOOT then press the power button to select it.
6. Connect your phone.
7. Open up a windows command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools or platform tools folder. tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) or platform-tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools)
8. Type
Code:
FASTBOOT DEVICES
to make sure your computer "sees" your phone and is ready to flash the recovery. You should get a serial number and then the word fastboot as the output.
9. Type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and press enter. Give it a minute to do it's thing. You should get a message that says writing recovery and success.
10. Unplug your phone and use the volume rocker to select BOOTLOADER and then again to select RECOVERY and you should be booted into the orange menu of Clockwork Recovery 3

It says fastboot isn't a recognized command when I type FASTBOOT DEVICES
also for the bootloader part. It loads real quick and it says something about no image or wrong image in the lines of code that loads on the screen then disappears

Are you using Linux? If so, cd to platform-tools and use ./fastboot instead of fastboot. Otherwise try updating adb and see if it works. Also, the random text is the phone searching for PD15IMG or another restore image. Disregard that, unless you want to flash the stock unrooted image.

Going into CWM

Hey guys... Just rooted my Nexus 7 and for that matter any android device for the first time. I followed ToolKit 2.0 and did the one step for unlocking boot, rooting, flashing CWM and all option and successfully rooted. But however i am having trouble going into CWM mode.. Can someone please help me. I tried going into the power button and volume down button mode and with the volume keys went to 'Recovery Mode' but then the device just goes blank and then Google comes up written and nothing else happens. I then installed this app called ROM Manager via which i am able to boot into CWM. So how do i do it without the app. Please help me out guys.. Thanks a lot

In Google Nexus 7 ToolKit 2.0, try option 10.....

You need to plug the device into a powered USB port on the computer and manually entering recovery will work. It's a glitch in the nexus bootloader for the time being.
Also, the Trinity kernel toolbox app and maybe goo manager work for going to recovery, and the roms advanced power menus with the reboot to recovery option will work. The app quick boot may work too. But for using the volume rockers you need to be connected to USB

You could also use adb "adb reboot recovery"
If you don't have a pc near you, download the Android Terminal Emulator and type
su (hit enter and grand the superuser permission)
reboot recovery (enter)

Me too sometimes my device wouldn't want to go into recovery from the bootloader. I would have to pass from an app such as Rom Manager to reboot in recovery or it would get stock on Google logo.
What I did to solve is to :
./fastboot erase boot
./fastboot format system
./fastboot format cache
./fastboot format userdata
then from there I could boot into recovery and flash any rom I wanted to.

I'm pretty pissed because clockwork has been nothing but trouble on the Vision the Ville and now the Grouper and I keep forking pocket change to koush for his little touch recovery and it is still buggy. I can't believe this problem of not getting f to recovery from fastboot without needing anything else.
so I'm doing a fastboot erase recovery to wipe off that clockwork and then fastboot flash recovery teamWINifitaintbrokedontfixit.img

Can you get to the bootloader screen so you can use fastboot? If so try flashing the TWRP recovery, it's a great recovery.

I can press the power button and both volumes and it gets me to download mode... from there, every option i try just gets me back to recovery. when i press start, it sends me to recovery. when i press shut down and then turn it on - recovery. when i press restart bootloader, it still takes me to recovery afterwards. wtf happened here man? never seen this before.

If you can at least get to download/fastboot mode, either get the stock recovery.img file or extract the recovery.img file from a custom_recover.zip, such as CMW or TWRP and place it in the directory where you have the fastboot util on your Windows PC, plug in the device into your Windows PC. Then type the folowing in a Windows Command prompt(without the quotes): "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Once that finishes then try rebooting back to recovery.
If you that doesn't work you may have a damaged bootloader, you can try extracting the bootloader(bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img) from the stock ROM and flashing it with the following command: "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-manta-mantalj12.img" then you can type: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to reboot directly to the bootloader.

This happened to me yesterday.
Step 1 - hold down the power+volume up+volume down
Step 2 - plug up USB cable and use fastboot to flash the "touch" recovery version. Usebthe method as before, you might need to point your machine to the "naked driver" in dev section to get windows to see the fastboot device driver.
Step 3 - once you are in touch recovery you can just use the touchscreen instead of power button

You can just "adb reboot" from any computer with working adb and drivers.
This needs to not be flashed by default from Rom Manager until they get it taken care of. Twrp and cwm touch work just fine.

Seriously. Can we please sticky a thread or something that says CWM isn't stable on the nexus 10 yet. It would save a lot of people a lot of trouble.

I had the same issue get rid of crappy cwm and flash twrp, flash it by downloading the 1.3 nexus 10 rootkit selecting option 6 i believe with your n10 connected to your pc, it will fix your issue

I was able to fix it by re-flashing CW touch. thanks guys!

twrp problem

Hi,
I have a problem with my device. My device has root (check by rootchecker) an the twrp manager says that the twrp recovery is installed but I can not go into the recovery. If I hold the buttons volume up and power I just come into the fastboot mode.
The problem starts as I start an update by ota.
Can anybody give me a solution?
Thank you.

Turn off the phone. Press vol down and power together till you see anything on the screen and let only power go pressing the vol down further.

You could re-flash TWRP.
1. Boot phone into fastboot mode (volume-up+power button)
2. Connect to PC (make sure drivers and fastboot are installed)
3. If you havn't already download the appropiate version of TWRP.
4. Navigate to the TWRP file and rename it recovery.img then open a command prompt there
5. Type fastboot device to make sure your device is recognized then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without quotes then boot into recovery by typing "fastboot boot recovery.img" also without quotes

Thank you for your help, but it was a brick. I found a solution on YouTube and on this site. Greetings

[SOLVED] Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime cannot boot to TWRP

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime/Pro and my problem is that I cannot boot into recovery using the Power+Volume Up method. When I do so, my phone gets stuck at the Mi boot logo. However, I can boot into recovery when I hold Power+Volume Down (I enter fastboot mode), then I connect my phone to my PC and I use the commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot boot twrp.img
I don't know if it's normal that my phone restarts automatically and boots into recovery when I hit enter with the last command.
I want to be able to get into recovery using the Power+Volume Up technique. Also, I heard that if I hold the Volume Up key when I reboot from fastboot will open a window with an option to disable stock recovery replacement. This also doesn't work and gets me to the stuck screen with the Mi boot logo.
Is there anything I can do to open TWRP using the Power+Volume Up method?

Switch off the phone and wait for 10sec. After that hold together Volume Up + Volume Down + Power and wait (i guess 5-15sec) until you see recovery.

Thank you so much! It actually works! I don't know how, because usually it worked with the Power+Volume Up method.. Anyway, thanks!

Hello,
thanks for your response. I don't know if you actually read my post, but my phone reboots after the command
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then it directly boots into TWRP. So getting into TWRP isn't that much of a problem here. I wanted to get into recovery without a PC and without using any of these commands.
Also, please try to describe the procedure more precisely next time because typing out just one command that isn't even surrounded in

Thank you.

Hello,
thank you for your answer. One thing I forgot to mention is that I use a custom OS too (MoKee ROM) with Android 6.0.1. Although this has an option for 'Advanced reboot' where you can reboot to recovery, this option always got me to the Mi boot logo and stays stuck there.
Also, I already fixed this problem by holding Power+Volume Up+Volume Down at the same time.
Best regards,
DJsushi
