So I SBF'd my phone to .602 after a failed MIUI update not knowing 1.9.X was on GB and not Froyo. After finally getting the SBF to work right I used Pete's One Click Rooting tools to reroot my phone. All went well except for one problem; I can't boot in CWM Recovery AT ALL. I've ensured the correct version is flashed in ROM Manager but when I tell it to reboot into recovery it just reboots normally. I've tried using hard button combos to get into recovery but it gets stuck at the ! logo with the green android.

Any thoughts from the smart people here?

Not sure if this will help, but once you're into to stock recovery use volume up + down then select wipe data/cache by pressing the power button. (As I said, not sure if that will help, but the stock recovery buttons changed on GB so just putting that info out there.)

The problem is I can't even get into stock recovery. After pressing Home + Power buttons it'll show the Recovery logo (the ! with the android) but won't go further even if I press the search button.

You press volume up and down on the same time now, rather than the search button. You still navigate with the volume buttons, then you select with the power button.

OK I see what you mean. I can get into stock recovery. I wiped everything, resetup my phone and ran ROM Manager again. same thing. It'll reboot normally, I can't get it to go into CWM Recovery.

Hmm. Possibly try using Droid 2 Bootstrapper?

 

[choonami]

Shouldn't be. I've made sure I selected Droid X when flashing CWM. I can get into stock recovery, but no matter what I do my phone will not go into CWM recovery.

A lot of people have issues with the latest clockmod recovery. Instead flash an older version of clockmod recovery. Its at the bottom of rom manager. That should fix your issue.

The only version thru RM I can flash back to is 2.5.0.7 (and that didn't work either). Can I DL a slightly older version to flash online somewhere?

Delete recovery off of your sd then flash clockmod

 

[choonami]

No go. Deleted cwm folder, reflashed cemetery and rebooted with the same result. Cemetery refuses to run at boot.

If you are on stock rooted .602, you need to install d2 bootstrapper. You need to bootstrap into recovery. After you do that, you can use Rom manager to access cwm.

I appologize in advance if this is not the guide but I am not too familiar with miui. But I was poking around the miui forums and believe this is the link to that guide.
forums.miui.us/showthread.php?5818-How-to-get-to-1.9.16-from-1.9.9. Again I appologize if this is not what you were looking for.

D2 did the trick! I was going from 1.8.19 to 1.9.16 and things went south quickly. But I'm good now. Thanks for the help and guidance guys.
