So im following a way to put a rom onto my phone, let me post the steps and go from there
1. The first step is to download Modaco’s Custom ROM from here and save it on your desktop. done
2. Once done, download ROM Manager from Market on your phone. done
3. Once the ROM Manager is installed, launch app and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. done
4. Now after flashing ClockworkMod Recovery, connect your phone to the computer. done
5. Once your phone is connected, mount SD card and copy the earlier downloaded ROM file to SD card root. done
now this is where im having an issue.... i know where it says to reboot into recovery, but when i do this, i get a black screen with a pic of my phone and a red triangle with an exclamation mark on it.... what am i doing wrong?
6. After this launch ROM Manager again and tap on Reboot into Recovery.
7. Once you are in recovery, scroll down to Apply Zip from SD card and select.
8. Now wait for the installation to finish. The ROM size is 257 MB, so you can well imagine the time it will consume.
9. Once the installation is finished, reboot your phone.
This means ClockworkMod recovery Did not stick, sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it to stick, so go back into Rom Manager and Press "Flash ClockworkMod recovery" Again, then reboot into recovery, if you still see the black screen with the trangle and ! (this is stock recovery) , just pull the battery and repeat the steps of Flashing CWM recovery again untill it sticks, It took mine three times before it would stick. Also you must make sure you have S-off and root.
well from all the reading i did, using the visionary+ would be enough of a root... granted my s-off isnt there, its still saying s-on.... and on another post made, i tried to follow the instructions, but i cant seem to change this...
suggestions on how?
The other day I gave you a link to a thread on how to properly get S-off and root on your phone, you choose not to use that link, instead you used Visionary, so I am going to assume that you do not have ABD set up on your home computer, so now here is another link to a new thread on how to get temp-root with Visionary, which is what you have now, then perm-root S-off with Gfree, follow the instructions in this new link from start to finish and you should have S-off when its all done. HERE IS THE LINK. I suggest you do a lot more reading before proceeding any further because it seems to me you really don't understand what you are doing and Mod'ing your phone and making a mistake can have the potential to BRICK your phone. Having root and S-off are two different things and you need S-off in order to flash custom Roms and recovery.
I still recommend getting S-off and root using the method HERE, its the safest way to root and get S-off, this is the link I gave you the other day to the XDA Wiki.
im using this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928160
and trying to follow it... but for some reason, when i do this step
$ su
# cp /sdcard/root_files/perm_root /data/local/perm_root
i get a msg that says cp:cannot create '/local/perm_root': no such file or directory
yet im following the steps exactly
Did you make sure to unzip the root_files.zip before placing all the files on the root of your sd card, do not just place the root_files.zip on your sd card it must be unzipped first.
Also make sure you put a space between perm_root and /data
I put a red * where the space needs to be.
From what you typed below it looks like you didn't.

This is what it should look like, without the red * of course,

well i got everything to work there just before you posted this, and i proceeded to install this rom found here
hxxp://android.modaco.com/content/t-mobile-g2-g2-modaco-com/322825/with-sense-10-feb-r3-htc-vision-g2-z-modaco-custom-rom-with-online-kitchen/
followed the steps to make it work, got into recovery, let it install via the steps listed above
now the phone is restarting over and over again.... and it keeps going to the htc quietly brilliant logo, then has the modaco logo under it... but it keeps going over and over....
ideas?
You are in a boot loop, did you wipe data prior to flashing the new ROM? The rom you downloaded might be a corupt download, try to redownload it again and flash it again. Also, just curious why MODACO rom there are so many other better choices available, IMHO.

well i just saw that it was one with a sense rom, so i thought i would try it out.... and this rom said no need to wipe data... thats part of why i chose it...
also how do i re download it and get it on my sd card? when i cant connect to the computer now
also what is a good solid sense rom, that i dont have to delete everything off my phone first, and ill gladly try that out... remember im new to this... so all the info you give me now is totally uncharted areas,
so lmk
Cheers
I would use Virtuous I think its the best sense rom out, you should always do a full data wipe when changing roms, when updating the same rom its not really needed, as far as getting it onto your sd card, I would just pull it out of the phone and put it into a card reader on my computer and then install the new files that way then place it back into your phone .

ok and do you have a quick link i can trouble you for the virtuous rom?
and how do i back up whats on my phone now, i dont want to loose anything thats on there.....and since im stuck in this boot loop, im stuck for a way to back it up
Ok to make a back up from where you are stuck at, pull the battery then put it back in hold volume down then press power, this boots it into bootloader, use the volume button and scroll down to recovery and select it by pressing the power button, it should boot into CWM recovery, then press backup and restore, then select backup and it should back up your current rom, to do this in the future just use rom manager to make your back ups, here's the link to Virtuous http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837042
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
but wouldnt that copy my current rom thats stuck in a boot loop?
Sorry you are right , so it looks like there would be nothing for you to back up. Prior to flashing MODACO you should have made a copy of your stock rom w/root but its to late for that now, so theres nothing to do now but flash a new rom.
Remember when you flash a new rom it could take a few minutes to boot the first time so give it a few minutes.

Making the nandroid backup wouldn't hurt though. If there is stuff you really need, you can transfer the backup to a computer and then extract the contents of the data and system images with an unyaffs tool. Then you can restore at least some things manually once you have your new ROM up and running (since you'll then have the APKs and their respective data directories).
Kind of a pain and may not work depending on what you want, but if there is stuff you really need, better to at least have the opportunity to recover than not.
so I installed the virtuous Rom and now I cant use the market... is there a fix for this?

Try fixing permissions, boot into recovery, select advance, select fix permissions, reboot. If that doesnt help, use titanium to wipe the data from the market app and see if that helps.
how do I do the titanium backup part? I tried the recovery part, didn't work.....
Good evening,
before I start:

Clockwordmod Recovery
I was out and about today when I recieved a nice message telling me there was a system update to download and install. I got within WiFi signal and downloaded it. when I tried to run it, it kept hanging on the ClockwordMod (CWM) Recovery page. First it told me that it couldn't mount the SD card where the update was stored. So I mounted the SD card through CWM and tried again. This time it told me that it couldn't be verified. So I turned that off too. Then it told me something else didn't work so I disabled that (sorry, I can't remember but it begins with 'A'). I tried a final time to install the update but it wouldn't work still.
Then the phone wouldn't load. It just hung on the HTC white screen for about ten mins with no movement.
I removed the battery, reloaded by pressing Vol Down + On. I have tried every menu item but the loader tells me that an image (beginning with P****.zip) is missing. It lets me load the clockworkmod recovery page so I have tried to restore a backup that I made about a week ago. It restored it, (or so it said) but when I then told it to reload it still hangs on the HTC white screen.
It's now been hanging for ten mins and I'm just leaving it.
Does it just need to be left for a long time to reload from the HTC white screen?
If it does not reload, how can I get it to?
Many thanks for your impending help!
You havent bricked your phone, a bricked phone wont power on! For future reference, remember, you cannot flash an ota update with a custom recovery installed. As you have found out it messes your device up. Ok you have 2 options.
1. Try a full wipe from the mounts and storage menu. Then try to restore your backup.
2. Flash a custom rom from recovery.

I really thought restoring my backup would have done it.
I now need to try a custom rom.

Would you happen to know where I can get the Orange ACE Rom from?
I've tried to install the Cyanogen Mod but that has got me no further.
I downloaded the most uptodate build of Cyanogen Mod (7) and copied it to my SD Card.
Through ClockworkMod Recovery I installed Cyanogen Mod and it told me that it had been successful. I restarted the phone and it got past the HTC white screen.....
I was very excited until it is not sat here on the Cyanogen Mod screen which just loads over and over again repeatedly.
Any other ideas please? I suspect I need the Orange ACE Stock Rom....is it available?
did you wipe your phone before trying to flash the new roms as AndroHero suggested?
if not try that first (you can do it via clockwork recovery or via easy full wipe from mero01 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868720)

yes, the only thing I didn't wipe was the SD card because that's where the rom / backup is stored. Do i need to completely wipe that then put the backup back on there?
as far as i know, it shouldn't be necessary. but i'm not really sure, sorry.
you could try formatting your sd card, wouldn't hurt, but maybe it would be better to wait for someone with more knowledge about android than me.

Thanks for your help so far. I am trying everything. If I could find the actual Orange Stock Rom (Ace) then I might get somewhere. I don't want to install a custom rom if not necessary.
EDIT: I have found an Orange Stock Rom (RUU). How do i install it?
I can only get to the bootloader screen so do I plug the USB cable in at this point and run the RUU from the PC once the drivers have installed? Do I put the RUU on the SD card and somehow run it from there?
i think this is the newest stock rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969374&highlight=orange+rom
but as AndroHero already mentioned, i think you can't flash stock RUUs with cwm recovery.
p.s. did you give easy wipe from the link from my previous post a try ?

I must admit that i've not yet tried the Easy Wipe. At the moment I am downloading an older stock Rom (the one that was on there before this happened) and am following some other instructions to extract the PD98IMG.ZIP which appears to be missing.
I DID go through CWM to competely wipe everything with the exception of the SD card and i managed to almost get CyanogenMod working....it would work for about 20seconds before reloading again....very strange. It has given me hope though. I tried wiping everything before doing the restore of my original backup but still nothing.
the download is taking ages so I'll give easy wipe a go.....wait....
SOLVED
thank you for all who helped.
I solved this problem by downloading an older Orange Stock Rom from the link above. After that, I followed instructions in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890 and reinstalled the rom.zip that it mentions. Sure enough, I am back to where I started about 3 weeks ago but because everything was backed up to the cloud I really don't mind at all. Sure, I have to root it with VISIONary again to remove all the apps that Orange have stuffed in but I can cope with that.
In fact, the worst thing is that I completed Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons and now i have no proof!!
Thanks again all.
glad that you could finally solved it!
i, too just lost all my angry birds saves because i just downgraded so that i could root my dhd
I have unbricked this phone probably 15 times in the past day trying to just install a custom ROM.
I run through the unbricking process, get root, load the stock AT&T ROM, factory reset, and it boots just fine from there. However, after I load Clockwork Mod and try to load any custom ROMs at all, the phone will just bootloop forever. It also appears to remove the Clockwork Mod recovery image as well, since I no longer am able to get back into recovery after the flash of the new ROM.
I've scoured this forum for hours, and I'm at a complete loss. Any ideas?
P.S. I made a backup of my ROM before doing all of this using the latest version of Clockwork Mod, but was unable to restore it. It seems that the 6.x.x.x version of the recovery for this phone is busted in some way, it always reports that it can't access any of the root folders, even though the phone has been rooted. The 5.x.x.x versions don't seem to do this, but I still have issues flashing.

Is it possible that your hosts file needs modifying when installing the AT&T ROM? If the LG Support tool connects to LG's servers instead of your local http you set up, it will load the official ICS and completely wipe your phone to install that ROM... With my limited amount of knowledge, that's about all I could see if the process removes CWM Recovery.
Also, CWM 6.x is working fine for me, even manually flashed the touch recovery a few minutes ago, backed up my ROM and installed an updated ROM. No problems at all.

I don't know if anyone has tried the unbrick method with the new version of cwm but you might try twrp. When a similar version of cwm was in beta there were all sorts of issues. So maybe they haven't been fixed. Also are you installing cwm from GB? ICS has a locked boot loader so that might also be an issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888910
Now I would start with the unbricking guide for a 16th time but follow the directions to install twrp instead of cwm. You might also find you like it better. Good luck.

I don't believe that the unbricking process would work if the hosts file was wrong, but I checked it again anyway, and it appears to be correct.
The AT&T ROM gets pushed via the abd shell after the unbrick and rooting process. The root appears to work, as the AT&T ROM that I push works fine, it's just not the ROM I want!

After the unbricking process (after I get through all the nonsense on the Korean ROM), the phone is running the GB AT&T ROM, from there I push the CWM recovery.img to the phone using the abd shell. All seems to be working perfectly up until I go to flash the custom ROM! I don't get any errors when I flash the .zip either.
Initially I had installed CWM 6.x.x.x using the ROM Manager application. That's before all this nonsense started, and the phone was on the stock (but rooted) AT&T ICS ROM, so I know that's why I "bricked" my phone the first time.
I'll give TWRP a shot, hopefully that will work.

Ok so we know it's not the boot loader issue of ICS after dozens if not hundreds of successful installs using the unbricking guide the only thing left is the new version of cwm. Hopefully twrp will do the trick for you. Has anyone out there successfully completed the unbricking guide with the new version of cwm?

I haven't tried the TWRP recovery a shot yet, since I haven't been home, but I figured it was worth pointing out that the CWM 5.x.x.x (can't remember exact version numbers right now) didn't work for me either. Every time I flashed a ROM, I'd end up with a boot loop on first boot, and then when I'd try to go back into recovery, I'd find that it wouldn't go back in there either.
It was basically acting like when I flashed the ROM that it overwrote the recovery partition, except no one else seems to have this same issue. Yet, if I didn't flash a ROM, I was able to go in and out of CWM recovery as often as I wanted.
Bah.

Can you clarify exactly what method you are using to flash the ROM? I just can't imagine a scenario where flashing a ROM would overwrite the recovery. What ROM are you flashing?
Also, please confirm what phone you have.

Sure, I may be using the wrong term (my first experiences with custom ROMs date back to Windows Mobile, so the terminology probably blends together), but I'm basically loading the .zip from the SD Card in CWM. I've tried both the CM9 P930 ROM and Paranoid Android CM10.
That was my thought too, I didn't think that the custom ROMs even had recovery images in them. I may be wrong in saying that it deletes CWM, but after the wipe and flash I am no longer able to access it.
I have the LG Nitro HD, and from what I can gather, that is the P930, correct? I hope the issue I'm having is as simple as I'm flashing for the wrong phone...
By the way, thank you all for your help and input, I really appreciate it!

You are correct, the Nitro is P930. And I'm sure this doesn't need pointing out, but when you download the ROM, make sure it's for P93x and not SU640. Most of the ROMS in the developer section have versions for both models.
Also, when you say you can't access CWM after flashing a ROM, how are you trying to access it? Holding Power+Volume down until the Factory Reset screen pops up? It still shows that screen even with CWM installed, but when you press the power button to perform the factory reset it SHOULD take you into CWM Recovery instead.

To access recovery, turn the device completely off. (If you're in a bootloop, pull battery or hold power button for ~20 seconds until screen stays off.) Then when phone is off, press and hold volume down and power buttons at the same time, not releasing until you see text asking if you want to factory reset. Press power button twice to confirm and you'll get to recovery.
Is this the method you're using to try to get to CWM?
My guess as to why you are getting bootloops is that you aren't wiping data first.
Yup, that's how I'm accessing CWM. After the flash, after I press the power button twice, I get something similar to a boot loop. A recovery boot loop, if you will.
Well, I've tried a couple ways now. I've tried using the "factory reset/wipe user data" menu item in CWM, and I've tried going into each partition and wiping them individually before flashing as well.
Just got home, I'll try flashing using the TWRP and let you guys know.

Good luck. Other possible things to try:
1) Check zip MD5 hash (or just redownload and replace) to make sure it's not corrupted.
2) Reformat entire SD card.
Interesting update:
I decided to give getting back into CWM recovery one more shot before I went through the process of re-unbricking again, and this time it managed to get in (for whatever reason).
So, I did a factory wipe, cleared dalvik cache, flashed the ParanoidAndroid ROM, backed out, did another factory wipe, and tried to reboot into the newly flashed ROM.
No luck. Boot looped, and didn't even get to the ROM animation. Following that, I had trouble getting back into the CWM recovery. Managed to try about 5 times and finally got in, however CWM stated:
Code:
CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7
E:Error in /cache/recovery/last_log
(Read-only file system)
So... my phone may have potentially unrooted it's self, somehow... Interestingly, it still shows the file systems as mounted.
So, now I'm doing a full SD card reformat. Figured I'd get that variable out of the way before I go any further.

You are installing the wrong version of CWM. Never use anything older than 5.8.2.0. This is the one you want: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.8.2.0-p930.img
Anything older than that is known to not work.
Second thing: You seem to have an incorrect understanding of what "root" means. Having "root" simply means you have administrator access to your current ROM. When you install a new ROM, whether you had root access to your old ROM is meaningless frankly.

Ah, thank you! I must've been viewing an old thread. Now that I look at the version number, it appears that's the version I had been hunting for since the newest one didn't work.
Interesting, I most certainly misunderstood, I was under the impression that "rooting" the device was a filesystem level permission change. Good to know!
It seems like we are getting closer to a solution here. Thanks for your patience!
Well, that appears to have been my problem the whole time! That's kind of embarrassing, considering how much time I sunk into this and how simple the solution was!
Anyway, thank you all very much! I assume that TWRP would have also solved my problems as well. It would seem that both the older and newest versions of CWM have some problems (at least for me!).

Yeah, the new one (6.0.1.5) just came out. I'll have to test it to see if it works for me.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any issues with 6.0.1.5 yet. The touch version is a must, though.

I really enjoy the integration Rom Manager/CM Updater has with CWM. If twrp is capable of running the install scripts those two use, I might consider trying it out, but I don't really like manually going through the steps to flash a rom every day.
Gent,
I have made a booobooo and would need your help to pull me out of this tight situation,
Senario is the following:
Yesterday I choose to try out a new ROM in my HOX.
I choose the Insertcoin 4.5 Beta, it looked nice and since the last Rom I installed was pretty straing forward I said what the hell....
Well to be safe I copied the whole content of my sdcard to a local drive, so the SD was empty, copied the zip of the Rom over and used the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1 to install the zip. All went well, phone restarting and halting on the first screen.
On the last Rom I had similar issue, but that was sorted by a fastory reset. Done that. Still halting.
Now my phone is useless, when using fastboot with USB mode the machine does not sence the phone and basically stuck.
Can copy a new Rom over as adb says the device is not found :S
Any ideas?

Don't tell me you didn't flash boot.img
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
also i would suggest you to update your clockwork mod recovery to 5,8.4.0
It allows mouting of usb storage through recovery.
and what beta rom you flashed?
the latest JB insertcoin rom is 13 something and i guess ICS was 9. something.
are you sure you flashed the correct rom??
also you need to flash boot.img from fastboot and dont forget to erase cache.
So I was able to lean how to root my phone. The I decided I would load a custom rom that I got from one of the rom tools that was suggested here. I loaded it, it got stuck on the loading screen. So I tired to use philz to do a recover and it says there is nothing to recover. every stock rom I get on this form will not load. the only option I have is to load the zip file to my sd card and then try to load it from the sd card. so now what? right now im completely out of a phone

i was quite tired last night and wanted to put more info in the post here on what i did. So this custome Rom I cant remeber the name of it but it had to do with the little android dressed up as a viking, i got as a recommentdation from the applicatio cybermoid or something to that nature. So when it attempted to load the rom it when to the boot up screen and just sat there, So i figure I would do one of the clock work mods recoverys that I had on my sd card and it failed to load. So at one point Philz asked me if i wanted to wipe the current rom and replace it with a new one. So i said yes figring that I could load the stock rom and it said that loaded. So last night I stayed up and tried to load 3 different roms and they all failed to load. Im wondering an this point if there is anything that can be loaded. I do remeber at one point it came up with a screen that said oden mode and said voided warrenty. i dont have a warrenty so i disregarded that. I will try the rom that you have suggesst tonight, I really hope that I can get some type of ROM on there. Beacase right now it just goes to the galaxy note 2 screen and sticks there.
Is there a manual key sequence or command line that can be run for my skipsoft tool kit that i used to root it to automatically turn on the us debugging? Also remember seeing a message that states that the root was removed. I think in in a hot pile of dog poop and this point, Any other suggestion if that rom doesnt load???
Thanks

How do you check to see if the modem is wipped?? i know it cleared off both the sd and sd1
If you did just the rom might have it in there if not just download and flash it its just like flashing a rom and its ok if you wiped both just download the rom put it on your sd1 and flash it in recovery I use philz

Ok so drop the ROM on the SD card, obviously plug it in go to recovery mode via the volume up/home/power key then selected it SD card and it sould load automatically. This is going to sound stupid but the ROM has to be zipped on the SD and not unzipped correct? If I get a error meaage I will post it here. I will probley be doing this around 5 pm or 6 as I am at work at the moment.
Sorry to be such a newbie..lol rooting it was easy if and when I get back into it I will put the full name of the ROM that blew it up because I dont want to have anyone else to go through this.

Download the rom
Wipe everything but the sd1 and the modem
Flash the rom
And let it boot
And let me know what happens
did all that and it is just sitting on the Samsung galaxy note screen
so for this one http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip it loaded it and then got suck on the main galaxy note 2 screen.
For http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...lteatt.zip.md5 it failed. Re Ran ]http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_A...6-t0lteatt.zip and worked but before I rebooted it it states at the top that the root is missing or broke. rebooted and still the same stuck on the samsung screen
Ok im goig to go with im screwed on this one as Ive been all over this form looking looking at how to fix this phone. the only thing I can get into is the philz and do a data reset/ wipe the dalvik cache and load the philz touch recovery then when I try to install any zips beyond that it fails so at this point I have no idea where I am going and if I am doing it properly. when trying to install the ODEN-UCUCNE 5 stock-no recovey zip it finds it, opens it and then fails.
so im pretty lost at this point either im not doing it right or the phone is bricked.. any other suggestion? I looks like im going to be buying a new phone

No do everything on the phone don't use Odin so in the recovery go to mounts and storage and
wipe the system, data, preload, cashe, boot, and sd card but not the sd1 (external sd) and reboot the recovery in power options and hit reboot recovery and hit no when it says something about supersu root process then when it reboots just hit install zip and find the rom you downloaded

3) go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
4) then I went to the sd card and installed the zip you gave me, it says install from the sd completed press any key to continue
5) when to power options and hit reboot to recovery
then it asks me if I want to restore the recovery settings from the card or no - I said yes
then it asks me if I want to apply the root from /system/xbix/su- I said no
it rebooted back to philz touch
now what??? I assume install rom zip..
what is the correct ROM download that I should use... ive downloaded so many if you can point me to the right link that would be steller
