Key combo is volume down + power for Desire too
I think the recovery console itself is broken - I can manually go into recovery mode, but it keeps reading the old settings and the backup is not stored in the clockworkmod directory
I see. So we need to find a way to load an uncorrupted recovery image.
If you are familiar with 'fastboot', you can do this:-
1) Download Clockwork image here:-
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/re...5.0.1-bravo.img2) Stash it somewhere where fastboot can locate it.
3) Boot the phone into the bootloader
4) start the command prompt on your PC and type 'fastboot devices' to make sure your phone is recognized by fastboot
5) Now we're gonna load the downloaded recovery image. type:-
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-bravo.img
you should see something like 'downloading boot.img....'
6) If everything went fine the phone should be in recovery mode but not using the suspected corrupted recovery image on the phone. It's using the one you downloaded.
7) Check if the settings and backup folder issue is fixed.
And do this at your own risk. I dont have a Desire to test this method thoroughly. I'm running Amon RA on my N1, sometimes when I want to use some Clockwork functions, I just fastboot the image using the method above. This way, I dont need to flash and re-flash between the two recovery image.
