Trying to figure out recovery console problem

---

I am on MR4 and when I try to boot into Recovery from Clockwork, it goes to a screen with the Red icon indicating it is dead. I have to pull the battery to restart the phone. If I go to Clockwork and reflash the recovery, I can get in, but it only lasts for one restart.

Any ideas?

By "red icon" did you mean a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it?
If so then, what you needed to do to get into recovery from there is press "volume up + power".
It might show an error at the bottom when you do this. If it did, you just have to repeatedly press "volume up + power" until you get some options at the top of the screen and choose "apply update.zip"

Yes - so this has to be done every time? How do I get into recovery just with the phone off then?

From your phone being off, hold down "volume down + power" to get to a fast boot screen (a white screen with android logo at the bottom).

Your phone will be doing some file checking at the beginning of fast boot and it's going to take a minute or two.

Press volume down to reject the two updates. Choose go to Recovery when you can get to it. You'll be taken to the familiar screen with "red icon" from there.

FYI, browsing on fast boot is done by "volume up/down" for navigating and "power button" to confirm choice.
