Can't access recovery

[northendtrooper]

clockwork can't get me into recovery mode to flash kernels or make a backup. How can I fix this? I am rooted.

I guess you tried the power+volume up & down. Did you just root & install CWR? If so, did you delete recovery-from-boot.p file in /system? Have you tried plugging the phone to your pc & type adb reboot recovery?

Hmm guess I missed that last step. Where are the directions for that?

The last part of "How to Install":

5. Download Root Explorer from the market ($3.99)
6. In Root Explorer go to System, mount as R/W(button up towards the top of the app), find recovery-from-boot.p (change to 1recovery-from-boot.p or delete)

ClockworkMod should now be permanently flashed.​

Oops, read you reply too fast. If you meant the ADB part, just plug your phone to the computer with the usb cable, open the command prompt and type, adb devices. Just to make sure adb sees your phone. When it does, then type adb reboot recovery.

Thank you man it worked. It was the root explorer step that I didn't do. I went off the gsm tutorial which didn't include that step. Working now!
