Have a problem, I cant start the phone i bootloader or recovery. Have done this multiple times before and had no problems then. I have flashed openfire before this, maybe something to do with that?

Really want to be able to make this work, because my battery drains from full to empty in a couple of hours, so wanting to reflash opefire or try cynagonmod to see if that could help my problems.

How do I enable this again? (have tryed to install recovery from rom manager, says success, but cant start in recovery afterall) have clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 now.

Have tested volume down+power, ...backbutton+power, ...and restarting the phone in bootloader and recovery, nothing happends.
 
Rom manager doesn't flash clockwork recovery. It puts update.zip on your sd card and runs that simulating recovery. If you're using Rom manager make sure you have "flashed" recovery via Rom manager so you have update.zip.

Or run unrevoked again and let it reflash clockwork recovery.

If you do the latter you will have to clear cache and dara on superuser papp

Thanks for the answer. I dont copy what you are saying. Is there any way that recovery would have been deleted then? Just like that?
And cant do the unrevoked again, because I have formatted my computer so I cant install the android drivers, because for that I started the phone in HBOOT and installed android bootloader drivers, and now I cant do that again because I cant start it up like that. Any more solutions?

ROM manager doesn't install recovery, it fakes it. You can only boot into rom manager recovery from rom manager.

Vol down and power goes into recovery from unrevoked.

You cant get into fastboot with back and power from Off either?

If you can you may want to use an offical RUU to return it to stock before rooting again.


I cant go into recovery from rom manager, from voldown+power while off...and how do I flash a offical RUU when I cant enable recovery?
Can I flash roms from rom manager? (it has an option "Install Rom from SDcard"
