So, I've been on 10.1 for a while, and ever since, I can not Reboot to Recovery using normal options.
The only way I can get in to recovery is to open Rom Manager, flash recovery, then reboot recovery from INSIDE rom manager.
No other way works.
It's kind of annoying. I decided today to flash back to stock using ODIN and start fresh again.
From stock, I install CM7. I can reboot to recovery using CM7 no problem.
From CM7, I install CM10.1 nightly (the latest), and after the phone finally gets in to 10.1, I can no longer reboot to recovery from the reboot menu.
I have to install Rom Manager, then flash recovery from it, then reboot from it.
I have to do this process EVERY time I want to reboot recovery.
Any other way I try, it just reboots normally and not in to recovery.
What gives? Anyone else with this problem?
Thanks.
I just tried to use Terminal Emulator and that fails as well.
su
reboot recovery
It just reboots normal.
Have you tried using any other 4.2.1 ROMs?

You should expect to run into problems when using a "nightly" build ROM. Its practically beta stages, find a ROM that is complete like the poster above mentioned. Cant really recommend any 4.2.ROMS , I stick with froyo ROMS for better performance.

The reason why I recommended that is because he was on a 4.2 ROM that he was having problems with. Sometimes its painful to go to a lower ROM as far as looks and speed goes therefore I recommended a 4.2 that he could try

I've tried Kenneth's alien Rom and was having issues with both the dialer app and the camera app - both were not installed I even tried flashing the stock cam and the d3 cam, neither did the trick. Fed up with that I installed Navalynt's Cherry pi rom and now the dialer works(whew!) but the camera app is still not appearing in the app drawer... I've already tried flashing both the stock cam and the d3 cam both did nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I haven't had this at all... are you doing wipes before you install? After install are you restoring from a back up? Maybe that back up is the issue but every rom I have had none of those issues

Well, I think the problem was that I was doing wipes with Rom manager and not Tenfar's CWM... I'm gonna install Tenfar's and see if that works for me.
Definitely use tenfars I should have mentioned that rom managers recovery for artist does not seem to work as well

Any pointers on how to install fastboot? I used the auto bootloader unlock and didn't have to install fastboot.
Fastboot is not something you need to install its already on the phone... as far as your computer goes its just a file you have in a directory that you access via commandline

I think there is something wrong with the ROM... I installed it and had problems with the camera/camcorder apps, using both tenfars cwm and ROM managers cwm (* wiping with both). I uninstalled/reinstalled many times and eventually got it working. then my webtop was missing.... so i installed the webtop again and reloaded a backup I made of the alien build 3 with functioning camera app and it was gone again!! any ideas on this?
Edit- new build # 4 has fixes... I rebooted my stock backup with functioning stock camera/camcorder and loaded ROM. rebooted in recovery using both tenfar and ROM manager.. still no camera or camcorder.
Don't use Rom Manager for recovery. It doesn't wipe properly.
Use the recovery here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500.
They seem to be the same, but they are not. Also, do not update CWM with Rom Manager.

I think I figured it out. I was wiping but not rebooting recovery. its working now. not sure how they are different to be honest with you aside from color rendering, they access the same android recovery mode, no? I have both because I have my backups from ROM manager and tenfars because everyone claims works better.

as mentioned previously the ROM Manager one DOES NOT WORK. 5.0.2.8 DOES NOT WORK! you NEED to user Jokers, TWRP or the 5.0.2.7-photon3 recoveries ONLY. you can find the working recoveries on my site. choose which one suits you best! don't use Jokers V4 because it won't flash google apps properly.

I am running cm7, or rather was running cm7 coz now my phone is stuck in the boot loop limbo. Kept getting the error "com.android.phone stopped working" and I was unable to make or receive calls all day. So I thought relocking and unlocking the bootloader would do the trick but now I'm stuck on a rock and a hard place. Sssoooooo, do you have any tricks up your sleeves I could use, I would really appreciate it...
I've been able to run a hand full of fastboot commands to bring my phone back out of limbo, I am past the boot image and able to activate with the sprint network. Thank you all who took the liberty of viewing my post, I appreciate the help...

hmmm... CDMA user? or GSM? i remember that bug being around in the very early builds of CM7. are you on the latest nightly or stable release?
i might also recommend changing some build prop info (which could be causing this?) to make sure it tells the radio to operate in the correct mode. gsm or cdma. if you look for ro.telophony.default_network=? the ? should be a 4 for CDMA or a 7 for GSM. change to your liking. then reboot. this was an issue in CM9 for the longest time and this is how it was resolved. it's possible it could be the same for CM7.
another option is to of course start over. wipe the cache,data,system partitions, possibly even twice. flash cm7. twice to be safe. then gapps. twice to be safe. then give it another shot.
other than that it might be a bad download or a bad build. so try another if it doesn't work. hope this helps you!
CDMA user, for now I am able to have my phone back on, but I will probably steer away from CM7 AND perhaps try CM10. All I keep finding is an unofficial release, is this the only one there is?

there will never be any officials releases unless somehow Motorola decides they want to give us drivers/source for ICS or JB. which is never. unless we get a leak.
Whenever my phone dies, it boots to recovery or better known, cwm when I plug it in. Not sure why, I don't mind it. But I'm wondering why, I have the latest touch recovery from cwm. And I do want to switch to 4ext but I have a question.
1. Can it flash any rom that cwm can flash?
Thanks guys.

4ext can flash every rom that CWM can and then some.
The reason your phone turns on like that is because you are using CWM Recovery.
But I've used it before. It didn't used to do this until I flashed touch or because ics. I updated and rooted so not sure.
Is 4ext really worth it?
Is it really worth putting the effort into it?
I need to flash a radio and it says 4ext recommended.

It doesn't require much effort and is well worth it yes.
CWM is garbage and it is a bug in the Touch version that does it.
Has nothing to do with rooting the phone.
You never had CWM before you rooted and non touch versions didn't have the bug.
It's actually about as painless as can be to switch to 4ext and is miles better in every way.
Yes you need to flash new radios for the ICS roms.
Read the Op in my thread like I said in the PM and you will find it is all very simple to do and well worth the short time it takes to do. Or not.
Your call, but you have been told many times to ditch CWM and I pretty much require it or TWRP for my roms which are currently the only recent ones you will even find for the Bolt.
Install the free app I linked you before and flash the recovery, takes maybe 3 minutes.
Thank you. Your the only one who told me if it was better. I'm switching now. And true, don't think any Better roms are going to come out.

After running just about every ROM for this device, I recently flashed my first stock based ROM (cooked 1.8). However since this time I've been unable to flash back to any aosp ROM. I get boot looped on every one. I've tried everything. Yet, I can flash cooked again no problem. I know there's something I'm missing. Any help would be great.

Have you tried to format system under mounts and storage after your factory reset, and before you flash your rom and gapps? Just a suggestion. Not sure it will fix you problem or not. It seems as if I had a problem similar to what you are describing after running a Samsung based rom in the past. I believe that was the cure to my issue.

Search for Siyah kernel v4.3.3 in the forums and install, restart recovery and flash away. Should take care of it.

I always have kept that kernel on standby but that didn't work. I've tried every kernel. Can't believe backups won't even boot. I flashed cook's ROM wipe before his ROM the first time, wonder if that did something.

Try Odin to stock and start from scratch. A lot of work but hey what do you have to lose. :beer:

First find a compatible Kernel for the AOSP ROM your trying to flash. Flash that Kernel.
Second, after the flashing is done, reformat the device; cache, dalkiv cache and system and system settings.
Third, reboot into recovery mode from the recovery menu itself.
Fourth, flash the kernel one more time.
Fifth, flash the AOSP ROM of your choice.
Sixth, reboot back into recovery menu.
Seventh, reformat once more.
Eigth, reboot the device.
As you should know, the first boot up after flashing a ROM takes the longest. Give it like a minute or two.
If this doesn't work, you have to flash a kernel that was compatible with the "cooked" rom you were using. Then from there do a reformat from the recovery menu. Once reformat is done, flash the AOSP kernel, then flash the AOSP ROM right after. Then reformat once more and reboot as normal.
If that doesn't work, flash compatible kernel with the "cooked" ROM your using now and also relay the cooked ROM, and then use Odin to bring it back to stock un-rooted. From there, do as you wish.

That is exactly what needed to be done. Mr cook actually has another thread with cwm flashable wipe scripts that would have done that. Quite handy :thumbup:
I do not see myself having access to a computer anytime in the near future. I had no problem rooting my fascinate from my phone using the framaroot method but I am having no luck flashing a new rom. I want to flash hellybean to get rid of this froyo crap but I just can't seem to do it. If anyone has a way to do this without a computer your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

CyanogenMod installer is coming out soon, and apparently it's going to be compatible with this phone right out of the gate (since it uses download mode and already has an unlocked bootloader)
I did try to use ROM Manager but my install of CM10.1 was pretty much borked after using it. Results may vary, but if you really can't use a computer, download ROM Manager and get the newest CM10.1 build for your phone from get.cm. Flash it through there. It is strongly recommended to use a computer though, since ROM Manager uses an outdated version of ClockworkMod Recovery that may or may not work.
