Problem getting into recovery

---

Hey,

Thanks to this amazing forum, to replace the Galaxy S2 I soft-bricked (for sale if anyone interested pm me), I bought an HTC HD2 and managed to get HyperDroid onto it, it's been fantastic for the past couple of months however now I have an S3 and I'm trying to reset it or flash a new rom onto it.

If I hold the power button and choose reboot into recovery, it just reboots normally into hyperdoid.
When I went into ROM manager, I think it may of said there wasn't a CWM Recovery, anyway I told it to flash latest 3.1 and it is now saying that it is installed.

If I tell it to reboot into recovery via ROM manager same thing happens, boots like normal.

I just can't damn well get into recovery

Any help pretty please.

Howard

That's normal issue if you are using MAGLDR.

Shut off the phone and turn it on holding on the power key till You're in MAGLDR. Then choose 8 AD Recovery.

Wahey, thank you. However when I choose that it's saying error cannot load ramdisk image, any ideas?

wahoo, managed to reflash recovery using DAF and have now just flashed the new rom, now just sitting on an android splash screen (quite some time now but I'll let it take as long as it needs).

thanks again and wish me luck

Arf, U've got to reflash your Recovery I guess...

Reason For Problem ..... RoM Manager Corrupts Cwm When Used When MaGldr Is Installed.Never Run RoM Manager If You Use MaGldr.

What partition size did you flash? Did you make sure that the ROM you flashed required the same or a smaller partition size than you flashed?
