[Q] Why does clockwork block recovery mode?

I have done adb reboot bootloader
my bootloader is unlocked
but here is where it gets weird for me...
I am trying to install SuperSU-v0.87.zip
and it says
Use the volume keys to highlight Recovery Mode,
Use the power button to select it.
which is easy enough, but when I do this I get an android with a triangle and exclamation mark...
which blocks me from the next progression;
Once in recovery, select Install zip from SD Card
Select choose zip
Choose SuperSU-v0.87.zip, then select yes to install
If I press vol. up and power I get clockwork screen but cannot access default recovery - is there any way to get rid of the CWM I have installed and start over?
Or even better - any way to access stock recovery mode without getting the dreaded android-triangle-bang?
please help
just trying to get superuser to add stickmount
thx

the dreaded android-triangle-bang is the stock recovery. reflash your custom recovery via fastboot and delete the recovery-from-boot.p file in /system/ so that your custom recovery doesnt disappear.

[Q] Can't boot recovery with button combo

It's very strange - I can't get to recovery by holding down power + vol-up + home buttons. The message comes up that it's booting recovery but then disappears for a second and then either powers off or boots normally.
I can boot into recovery through the toolkit/odin/goomanager however and I've also found that I can boot into recovery if I first go into download mode, press vol-down to cancel download and boot normally and then immediately press the vol-up/power/home button combination.
I have TWRP installed but I previously had philz CWM and this problem happened with both. If i remember rightly the first recovery I tried to install was the original CWM with odin but when I booted into recovery it was still the stock recovery. I'm not sure if this information is necessary though.
Can anyone help me with this or why this could be happening?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When was the last time you updated SuperSU?
Go to the playstore and download/install the latest version reboot the phone normally and after reboot reboot into recovery.
Good luck!

Thanks, that worked. I can now get into recovery with the button combo.

Stuck in recovery and home button not working

so i wanted to root my galaxy y but the home button was not working so i used adb command adb reboot recovery to reboot the phone into recovery. the phone rebooted in recovery but now as home button doesnt work i cannot select anything and also even if i pull the battery out and put it back in and reboot..it still reboots into recovery. i cant use odin as i cannot boot into download mode also the button not working is most probably a hardware issue
so is there any way to make this work?? please help

Cannot go to recovery mode

Hello everyone.
Every time after installing custom ROM i couldn't go to recovery mode using vol up and power key. Any solution plz. Thanks in advance.

You have got to press all three keys to get into recovery: Vol. up + Vol. down + Power

For going recovery pls press all three buttons vol+ vol- and power button
Or you can use advance reboot option in most of the ROM for going to recovery.
For it long press power button
Then select reboot it will give option for recovery soft reboot etc
If there is no advanced reboot option you can download it from Google play & apk name is ' reboot menu widget '

You have to install through ADM tools.
