It is not booting in clockworkmod recovery..

the procedure i am following to get in recovery is :

1) Switch off
2) press and hold vol. down key
3) press power button
4) android symbol with a triangle appears and it's stuck there
5) now when I press both vol. down and up key, stock recovery appears

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

how to boot in recovery
The method as you tryed is stock recovery, if you try to enter CWM recovery
after rooted, you must install Defy system recovery
- put system recovery.apk into SD card
- enable(Turn on) Unknown sources and USB debugging in Application settings
- install system recovery.apk from SD card (Use File manager or Root Explorer)
- Open System recovery App and Select Install Recovery system, it will show "Install success"
- Before reboot (Recovery reboot), you must Turn off "USB debugging"
Otherwise, defy will stuck in black screen


OK, If you want to reboot to CWM recovery mode, you can open System recovery App and Select Recovery boot

or Try that :D

So is there a way to boot into custom recovery with phone being off? What if a flash goes wrong and stuck with boot loop. How do you get into custom recovery to to restore backup?

What I always do when I flash something and it goes wrong is enter bootloader mode and flash a new sbf. I'm fairily sure to do that you hold power and volume up while booting.

I mistakenly rebooted after wiping cache,dalvik cache and sytem. Now I'm stuck at the moto logo. :( Is there any way to enter into custom recovery other than the flashing method you specified above?? I was using SlimBean(Slim-4.3.build.2-UNOFFICIAL-2013027-1124) with TWRP v2.6.3.0.
