Can't boot into Clockwork Mod *super confused*

[Guest SPARL_]

Hi guys,

My current predicament is a complete enigma to me, basically I can't boot into CWM recovery. I've tried everthing to get into it, volume+ and home key etc. it just hangs on the android logo (which is distorted) with the red light. I've also tried rebooting into recovery from my homescreen and tried using a few different reboot apps from the market.

I'm not sure what's caused this, the last thing i flashed was the Bravia engine hack for skate.

It boots up normally and the phone works perfectly, i just can't get into CWMR, another thing is when it boots either normally or when i attempt to access recovery, the android logo is off to the right of the screen and there looks to be a thin line of distortion across the top of the screen.

I'm currently running P.A. ICS, i've only just noticed it this evening as an update came out for Paranoid.

Would system resetting work?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Try Volume Down and Menu (middle button)

Try re-flashing recovery using adb, maybe?

@utternoob Thanks man, but that wasn't succesful unfortunately :(

@HeikoH Sorry to be annoying, is there a guide you can link me to?

[Guest HeikoH]

Refer to http://www.modaco.com/topic/349541-faq-rooting-for-beginners-updated-26-02-12/ for that.

Download the rooting package at http://min.us/mu0DNjVRR#2o and modify the .cmd file to only flash the recovery partition. However the distorted Android logo is a weird sign to me.

[Guest SPARL_]

Thanks man, much obliged. The Android logo thing is bizzare, hopefully there's someone out there who has an idea.

HeikoH, your a genius, it took me a while but i've sorted it, i flashed through ADB didn't think it worked but it did :D :D :D :D

So no more distorted logos and it boots into ClockWorkMod just fine?

[Guest SPARL_]

Well the logo is still distorted still not figured out the cause of that, but it boots to CWM perfectly now.

Do the same thing he did?

If you're sure you can't boot into CWM via power+home+volume up, just reflash the recovery via fastboot.

[Guest SPARL_]

One thing I should mention, make sure you don't have a tpt image file on your sd card as this can cause problems with accessing cwm.

[Guest honigfisch]

Or just make tpt flash ^^

[Guest SPARL_]

I meant if you don't delete it after repartitioning.
