[Q] Oddities of rebooting CWM

[eoraptor]

Sooo, I got my OTA update for Tiny's CM rom today from GooIM. And low and behold... now I can't seem to access my Clockwork Recovery Mod. I enter Rom Manager, order it to reboot to Recovery, and comes to Fastboot. Or, the two finger salute, Pwr/DnVol yields the same result.

Now the phone insists that it's still Soff, Hboot 0.92, and the like... Rom Manager insists that ~it~ can detect CWM 5.0.2's presence, but any attempt to actually boot into it just results in me ending up on the Fastboot screen.

After various attempts at battery pulls and and at reinstalling RomManager and CWM, I tried instead to flash in an image for TWRP both from the GooIM app, and from ADB. That went nowhere as the phone just keeps returning remote access denied type errors in ADB, and merely booted to fastboot and stayed there till I rebooted it normally when done via the app.

Also, the refresh feature seems to have gone kerplooey. From within the rom it just restarts and sends me to the fastboot screens when I ask it to go nuclear, and if I try it from the fastboot screen, it just restarts.

So, I could use some help at this point on how to retake control of my Dinc. Right now I can't change rom's, wipe the caches, etc...

Reflash cwm http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/CWM_5.0.2.0/PB31IMG.zip thru hboot.

Then see if you can access it. If you can do a full wipe, and then either restore a backup or flash a rom of your choosing.

Took me a month, but I finally got past both my frustration and some meat-space interruptions. Yes, the instructions provided by cmlusco did the trick, thank you SOOOO much.

And ironically, I WAS going to install TWRP onto the device, elzimmer, but when I booted it up, it said it had the OTA update to install, so I let it do that first *rolls my eyes* On reboot I found out that that had tanked the recovery mod before I could even begin doing the factory resets and so forth.

Either way, thanks again both of you.
