Root Unable to boot into recovery mode

Hello everyone, I have been searching the forums on how to fix a small problem, but I didn't find anything exactly related to my problem.

I am currently rooted, with the rooting for dummies guide, H-Boot 2.02, Clockwork Mod and S-Off.

I can't boot into recovery, it just takes be back to the Fast Boot screen. I have also tried using ROM Manager to try to get into recovery and it wont boot into recovery. I used to be able to boot into Clockwork recovery, but not any more. Anyone got any suggestions? Much Appreciated in advance.
 
Open ROM manager and choose the option to flash Clockwork recovery at the top. If it's grayed out, choose the option to flash an alternate recovery (RA) lower down. Then you should be able to choose the option to flash Clockwork again. If it still won't boot into recovery, uninstall ROM manager, then reinstall it, and try flashing CW again. If it still doesn't work even after that, download this file:

Make sure it stays named PC36IMG.zip, exactly. Copy it to the root of your sdcard by connecting your phone to your computer, and mounting it as a disk drive. Once that is done, turn the phone off, then turn it back on while holding the volume down button. It will prompt you to flash the file. Once that is done, you should be able to boot into recovery. It will be RA, but it's a working recovery, and you should be able to then flash CW.
