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!

Thanks! People seem to find enough creative ways of hosing their OS, no need for me to demonstrate.. That is why I worked on CWM as I though it was important and could "save" people from themselves, me included..

I'm going to try and redo my script because there is no reason why it shouldn't work but I had a hard time getting it to work I'm going to test this method.
Please note the OP has been updated to reflect the fact we don't need to hold the VOL+ key as part of this process.
Help Please: how to undo ClockWorkMod Recovery to use original stock Recovery?

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?

There's the video, guys.. have fun and be careful!
written instructions are as follows:
OK! so you've decided to take on the menial task of installing a custom rom, to make your mytouch... well for lack of a better term, YOURS! If you've had a G1 or a Mytouch 3g in the past, as I have, then the process is much the same..
Step 1
Download your rom from the website to your computer *durrrrrr* also make sure your device is in normal operating mode, and also download the update.zip for clockwork recovery if you dont already have it from HERE
Step 2
Copy the rom and update.zip for clockwork from your computer to your phone's SD card root directory, also known as /sdcard
Step 3
Power off phone
Step 4
Power onto Fastboot mode with Volume Down button and Power
Step 5
Get into recovery mode by pressing volume down once fastboot loads, and then power to select
Step 6
Once in recovery basic mode, where you see the triangle with red exclamation, hold volume up and press power again
Step 7
While in recovery mode, hit volume down to get to apply update.zip which will put you in clockwork recovery as long as the update.zip for clockwork recovery is on your sd card
Step 8
After applying your update.zip, you're going to scroll down to install zip from sd card using volume down button and then power to select
Step 9
Once again, go to install zip from sdcard and press power
Step 10
Select your zip in the menu, then press power
Step 11
Wait for zip to install and hope to hell the zip is signed correctly and not damaged
Step 12
After zip installs, back out to main menu and reboot phone!
Step 13
Wait for Rom to load 100%.. WATCH YOUR LOGCAT TO VERIFY NO BOOTLOOPS!!!
Done!!
If you download "QuickBoot" from the market you can boot directly to "Recovery" bypassing the bootloader.
Re: [how-to] put a custom rom on your slide!!!
I'm assuming this is a tutorial for future rom releases, correct?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk
well there's already 2 out at this time, with slideroot2 and the legend rom.. there will be tons more, i'm sure.. so yeah, this is a generalized install procedure for such things
I like the addition of the ADB & logcat steps! Nice touch, man...
heh thanks i want users to be able to see what they did and begin to learn how to fix future mistakes lol
I love the legend ROM but I needed the keyboard one night so I switched to slidemeroot2.
Any chance for Keyboard lights coming?
Also, couldn't load titanium backup in the legend. Any suggestions there?
to get titanium to load right, you have to install a different superuser.apk than the one that's stock. i dunno why exactly. also, legend is a BETA so it'll be updated soon by eugene, it is by no means a final version
Thank you. It is a pretty sweet beta.
Hate to state the obvious, but you should mention that this requires your MT3G Slide to be rooted... you know peeps will come out the wood works asking "why cant I do this!"

Does this mean that I don't have to root first to flash roms? Can i boot to recovery and flash to eugene's already rooted rom?
once you downgrade to the eng build, you can flash any rom for the slide... you have to root and then flash that downgrade though before you can do anything to it
When will a permanent recovery flash come available? Only a minor inconvenience since it only is two extra steps using the stock recovery... well three including copying the update.zip over.
whenever the spl comes, is when it comes i dont have a date/time for ya, devs are working on it... i know one in particular made a bit of progress yesterday, so we'll see what happens when it happens
Ok, I tried to install the SlideM ROM and and ran into an issue I'm not really sure how to fix.
I followed your video and instructions to the letter but on reboot the phone stopped at the first T-Mobile flash screen and froze. Using adb devices I come up with this;
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT069PS00585 offline
HT069PS00585 device
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb reboot
error: more than one device and emulator
...and the phone is locked onto that first t-mobile screen. I tried adb reboot, adb reboot-bootloader and still get nothing, even tried a hard reboot by pulling the battery to get to recovery mode and re-installed starting from step 1.....really hoping I didn't brick it. Any thoughts on why it happened or how I can go about fixing it?
***UPDATE*** went back and tried a method found in another thread, i.e., wiped data using Android recovery mode instead of Clockwork recovery, then re-installed SlideM. Worked perfectly on the first try
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:

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

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.
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.

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.
So I went to flash to my cell using romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_Stock_Optimus. 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:
Fastboot mode started
gpio_i2c: invalid khz: 0
bl: i2c write error
udc_start()
--suspend--
--reset--
--portchange--

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.
trying to flash clockwork recovery using the What you need to know about the Dell Streak PDF. Got into fastboot on the streak, got the C:\streak part fine but when I type fastboot it says "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external device" I changed the fastboot-windows to fastboot but it gives me that error code mentioned above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK. Cool, I just got clockwork installed using these directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754563 but when I go to make a backup or flash I just get a blank screen with the backlight on and the capacitive buttons will flash every so often. Any ideas? Im new at this. On my old CDMA Hero rommanager took care of all this.
I recommend that you use StreakMod recovery rather than CWM. It is customized for the Streak. There are some useful links in my signature.
You may need to press the power button after selecting the second option on the first screen to get to the rest of the CWM options.
Presssing the power button returns it to the clockwork menu. I have the streakmod recovery unzipped but haven't quite figured out how to flash it. This is my first time doing anything with fastbootn honestly I only got this streak to try to learn more of the fun side of android. I have a nexus s and a xoom wifi but since they're both running current versions I just wanted something to tinker with.

I have a nexus s and a xoom wifi but since they're both running current versions I just wanted something to tinker with.

You will need to flash streakmodrecovery over clockwork.

Basically, you need to fastboot your phone then use the recovery flasher to flash the streakmodrecovery, let it reboot and you will have the streakmodrecovery installed. As usual, to access the recovery, just power up yr phone and hold the vol+ and vol- until the recovery screen appears. Cheers
