[Q] Phone wont boot into system recovery any more? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Phone wont boot into system recovery any more by holding vol up and power on buttons, so I cant flash a rom. running 2.1. The other day did a hard reset, because it changed to chines in the settings section. Is that some kind of virus? Is back to English now. Is there another work round to install Rom's or fix this?

Does your volume up button work for anything else, in other words can you raise the volume when booted up?
You can use ROM Manager (free on market) to backup, restore, and to flash ROMs, and you can use Quick Boot (also free on market) to reboot directly into recovery. In other words, select Quick Boot, choose Recovery and it'll shut down your Eris and boot into Recovery.
If you decide to use ROM Manager and have questions, feel free to ask here and I'll do the best I can.

Just wanted to make sure that you are aware of the various ways to boot into recovery... Please pardon if this information is repetitious or not new to you.
Of course, there's volume-up and power like you've already tried. There's also volume-down plus power which will take you to the HBOOT screen from which you can select recovery with volume-up. Of course, if you have the Android SDK installed, you can use the "adb reboot recovery" command too.
XDA's bftb0 posted some information over on AF regarding why some phones won't boot into recovery with volume-up plus power:

Also, here's something I posted over on AF with a little more detail about booting into recovery:

Sounds like you don't have (or no longer have) a custom recovery installed.
Have you tried re-rooting?

I did the root with z4 root. is there a way to instalol a a custom recovery installed or put onr there for it to read?

Well, I don't how z4 root works, but I do know that jcase's 1-click root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228) will install Amon_RA's custom recovery.
There's various ways to get a custom recovery installed, but it depends on the current state and history of your phone.
You might want to first try the 1-click method mentioned above--its probably your easiest and quickest method to at least try.

Thank you scary alien !!!! This one worked ! ( but I do know that jcase's 1-click root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228) will install Amon_RA's custom recovery.) The vol up and power did not, but i installed the (hot reboot ) app and checked of boot in recovery mode and Upon using this hot reboot , it does now, but it would not work until I installed your fix that you suggested.

[HOWTO][RECOVERY][VIDEO] Booting Into Recovery

There seems to be a constant flow of questions about booting into recovery, so I thought I would take a video of what works for me.
In stock form this will get you to the recovery that allows you to wipe your user data. If you have an alternative recovery installed, ClockWorkMod as an example, this will get you booted into it.
UPDATED - we don't need to hold the VOL+ button.
1. Power Off the Device
2. Hold N and Power
3. After the screen has been on for about 5 seconds, release the buttons.
I hope this helps!
Nice job, BertoJG!
Come on, show us how to completely hose your OS, and boot into recovery, please! Thanks for your work on CWM!

Please pardon the cross post but anxious to find a reply.
I have installed the ClockWorkMod (& obviously its recovery menu).
The big question...
How to restore back to the original B&N Factory "recovery" program (i.e., undo installation of CW recovery system)?
I do not have a backup pre-CW; is there an image or RUU file somewhere, or is there a hidden backup copy of the original recovery to restore?
just curious this is for if you cant boot your nook currect due to a bad flash ?
others wis you could acces the recovery in the rom manager menu ?
I can boot into the CW recovery menu and select full recovery, but the result is not a virgin Nook... it is still rooted, has such app installed, etc. And most importantly, still has CW recovery mode installed and active as the recovery menu (ie whenever you do a hard reset boot) .
This is not ideal for a warranty inquiry situation when needed.
Thanks!

CWM doesn't let you do a full stock restore. The restore it gives you also needs to supplemented with about 10 steps or so in the terminal to get the stock recovery back.
Anyone whose rooting should be comfortable at the terminal, but we've known that CWM doesnt give a full backup for many days now and I guess its not a priority to get it fully operable, unless I'm mistaken...this is my first time back on the board in a while.

I must be missing some special thing - I can't boot into recovery. ROM Manager is/was able to get there, but booting with the "N" and the power key never puts me into recovery. Ideas?

You need to hold them both until you see CWR. Don't let go.. Make sure Rom manager has successfully flashed CWR (at the top of the screen in Rom manager).
I think it's a bit hard to determine how long you need to hold Power + n. In my experience very frequently my NC just shuts down when I hold too long. I have modified u-boot to use a different key combo (hold both Vol+ and Vol-) to boot into recovery. It's much easier now. If there is any interest, I can post my u-boot.bin.
Now I think of it, I should be able to modify u-boot to boot into either CWR or stock recovery base on different key combos. Would there be any interest?

[Q] Issue booting into Recovery

I've searched high and low for someone having a similar problem to no avail, so here it goes:
I previously rooted my phone using the one touch root method, and flashed kaosfroyo. I ran that ROM for a good while until I started having issues receiving text messages. I took my phone back to stock to see if that would fix the issue, which it did, but now I can't boot back into recovery to try to re-root. The issue I'm having is that when I try to boot into recovery using either the Vol up+end method or going through the hboot menu, it flashes the Androids on skateboards splash screen and the screen then goes black. I have to pull the battery and restart for the phone to do anything after that. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help!
*I do apologize if this has been covered before, but I've been looking for it for a few hours now and have not found it.*
Flashing back to stock unroots you which means you no longer have a custom recovery. Just download the 1 Click Root apk again, install, and run it. After it has worked it's magic and your phone has rebooted, you will have access to amon-ra recovery and can flash a new ROM.

I actually have tried that, and it doesn't work either. I forgot to mention that, sorry. I run the root, power down, but when I try to boot into recovery it does the same thing.

If you haven't already, maybe try the rooting method on the wiki:
How to Root Eris - XDA Wiki
Instead of the Recovery.img file they tell you to download, I'd suggest using the "1.7.1" recovery by scary alien which is a modified version of amon-ra. It allows the use of other physical buttons to navigate so if your trackball dies, you are still able to use recovery.
Amon_RA 1.6.2 Custom Recovery
If that doesn't work, I'd try following bftb0's instructions in this thread.

With 1-click root, you need to run the app, power down, power back up (like you wanted to make another phone call) - then power down and power up to recovery. From what you describe, you missed that intermediate power-up step.

Yeah, that's what it sounds like to me too. The first few times I rooted my phone I missed that step too and thought I'd bricked the phone, only to realize I needed to boot back up fully and then go into the recovery.
Hello,
I too faced same problem in the initials of rooting. what i did is rooted again, but super one click doest work.
So i rooted with,
unrevoked.com/recovery/
It worked for me.
and for switching recovery, i think best way is via droid explorer. downlaod droid explorer and then download amon recovery, and flash it.

Optimus V Brick!?! HELP!

I got to step 15, and I realized I forgot to place the ROM in my sd card so I restarted the cellphone so I could place the ROM in my sd card, go to reboot to repeat the process and I get a screen that goes:

Can someone post a link to a recovery file for my phone? You guys are the best.
I followed the above guide, and used the ROM here prepaidandroid.org/index.php?title=How_to_restore_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
It reboots, and the same blue screen is up
My brother flashed the wrong recovery, I tried using the tutorial to fix it using fastboot.exe from windows, but it won't work as it can't find the device. windows sees an android device and I installed the drivers from lg, but it refuses to enumerate in adb shell, so I can't connect to it, any ideas?
okay after fiddleing with it a bit, I got the origional recovery mode restored on it, and when I boot into recovery and plug in usb adb can see the device, I have a stock froyo rom how do I restore from here, or can I reflash clockwork from here?

go to this page
this only works if you have some sort of custome recovery, My brother had the wrong one for the optimus v (clockworkmod 3.2.0.0) and it wouldn't install any rom.
I just played around with this page until I got the stock bootloader/recovery back, however I'm not sure if this is what we want, you may want to try flashing one of the custom recoveries listed on the site, now that I have the stock I can re-flash anything.

you need to get into a custom recovery, optimus v press back, volume up and power at the same time to boot into a recovery, if you don't have a recovery at all there maybe an issue. so try and boot into a recovery and let me know what you have.

if you can't get into any recovery your device maybe permintally bricked, but don't take what I say as gospel I'm new at this as well, I'm still looking up more info, in the mean time you need to figure out how to get into recovery, google for key combos, also when using a key combo to get into recovery make sure power is the last button you press in the combo, hold down the others then power (while still holding the other buttons) and release as soon as you see the lg logo, it should go away quickly and after a few seconds of black you'll see the recovery, if the lg logo stays up for a while it's trying to normal boot.

if you want to get aospCMod on your phone, follow this tutorial, this is what I did for my phone works great.
Now my question to you is how did you use fast boot root tool to get back to home screen because I'm still stuck at recovery
okay I finally managed to fix it, I figured out how to use fast boot root and got a custom recovery, from there I could flash other recoveries, which was importaint because even though I could install any rom I wanted it was stuck in a boot loop where it would keep booting into recovery, So i flashed Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip from here and under advanced it has an option to fix the boot loop, then from there I could flash a rom and it's fixed.
Lot of work fixin' my first bricked phone, but I learned alot.

Did you use Revolutionary on the device? Did it acknowledge that it was successful in flashing custom recovery to your device?
The proper way to reach CWM is to turn the device completely off, then hold down the volume down button and press the power button. From that screen you should select "Recovery" by using volume up/down buttons to move and power button to select. Don't use ROM Manager to install or get to Clockworkmod.
i do not have a fast boot option, thanks for replying though.
If you dont see fastboot.... Then you are not rooted. Try the process again.
You should be able to power off the phone, then hold the down volume button while powering on the phone.
Then you should see fastboot and recovery. If you don't see either, then the root process was unsuccessful.

This is a method to get a recovery menu on every boot, while also supplying a secondary /system partition. This essentially lets us dual boot the default moto rom, and whatever other rom we want, without having to worry about getting into an unrecoverable state.
Make SURE you remove the razrbootstrapper program, AND completely remove the CWM on every boot mod if you have flashed that.
Instructions to remove CWM on every boot:
Follow the below:
(Using the rootexplorer)
1) First, delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
2) Rename /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode (Very important)
3) Delete file /system/etc/razr_cwm_boot.cfg
4) Last, delete file /data/.recovery_mode
5) reboot

Please note that backups made in CWRecovery are NOT compatible with Safestrap due to partition renaming, etc.
Make a full backup of your primary system (non-safe) for recovery purposes.

THANKS! Just want to make sure as some terminology i haven't heard of from G2. But I'm very good to go with everything else.
Thanks again.
tried this on my razr(CDMA) and my phone wouldn't boot again after turning safestrap on. I had to hold down Vol-down + Power to reset the phone and finally turn off safestrap. Only then did my phone boot again. I did uninstall the bootstrap recovery before hand. Not sure If I did something wrong or not. just my 2 cents about it.

I had the same problem at first: this is due to not flashing a rom once you turn on safe mode. Think of it like dual booting a computer if you don't install anything on that second partition nothing will show. You just need to install a rom under safe mode and then you will be good to go
Any CDMA roms available yet?
On hashcodes site it says v1.07 but its v1.0 when you download it.
It's still 1.07, don't worry.
Also, please use his thread now.
