Can't get into Recovery?

[clindner]

OK, I was trying to flash the new stock files that Peter has put up on his site. I had ROM manager installed, but before it would let me flash the ROM, it wanted to update my Recovery. I did that, and it is now version 5.0.2 or something.

However, when I try to flash the rom, I get to the bootloader, and it says no image or something up at the top, and if I try to select recover, I just get back to the same screen.

What has happened?

That happened to me too. I had a problem with the latest CWM so I flashed back to an older version (i think 5.0.1) and that fixed the problem. You can do it all from within ROM Manager.

Go back to an older 3.x.x version of CWM.

Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot. I reflashed the CWM, and now I have my update installing...

Well, I did the last of the 3.x.x series recoveries, but I still can't reboot into recovery.

Here's what I ended up doing:

using the android SDK:

adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (taken from here so the system is writable)
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak (from here as Way #3 to make it sticky)

koush recommends reflashing the recovery and rebooting a few times if you have that issue.
i've had it on my NS4G a few times and the wife's Dinc. Never needed to break into ADB to fix though to fix
