Hi
I am trying to backup my current rom from my rooted Tmo G2(just for trying because i could get the original rom from the xda wiki.
When i click on the backup rom, my phone reboots and tries to go onto recovery mode, but then i get that black phone and the red exclamation point. after that i cannot do anything.
I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone.
What am i doing wrong here?
thanks
The red exclamation means your still in stock recovery. Reboot the phone, go into ROM Manager and flash the recovery TWICE. I had this same problem and flashing it a second time solved it

you are a genius.
I did update the recovery before trying, but this time, i did it twice in a row and that did the trick
thanks again
Same problem but flashing it twice still doesn't fix it?
pretty much what i said above... I have the same exact problem so when i =read this i flashed it twice and still get the red ! arrow when i backup it restarts? any other ideas?
If you get this image, just hit Vol (+) and Power. This will continue you to recovery and you can see whether you are still stock or CW Recovery. I am CW, but I will sometimes get the triangle image.
I think you have to flash twice because of root permissions.
My G2 did not ask me for superuser permission until after it had already downloaded the recovery and was in the process of installing it.
The second time you flash it, ROM manager will already have the superuser permission it needs to successfully install it.
I think that the initial (unsuccessful) installation of recovery is what gets ROM manager to ask for superuser access.
So if you have a way to grant ROM manager su permission before installing, it SHOULD work the first time. I don't really know how to test this theory yet though.
I temp rooted + flashed the recovery part 4 times now, "successful" each time, but on "ROM Backup", the red exclamation mark is the only thing that works..

Do you have Desire HD ? If so, you are in the wrong forum, this is the Vision forum (G2/Desire Z).
If you do have a Vision, then I suspect the problem is that you don't have S-OFF. Temp root is enough to run ROM Manager, but not enough to flash a custom recovery.
ok, thanks that might be it - still ..strange that it detects the recovery software as installed after boot - maybe it's just saving the information and fakes it. ?
yes, I am in wrong forum - just searched for this issue, and it seems like it is just the same.
Thanks.

If you don't have S-OFF, then your recovery partition (plus others) is write-protected in hardware. So the software thinks it's writing to it, but the data is just being held in cache. When you reboot the cache is lost so you see the old image (i.e. stock recovery) again.
Remember to have "USB Debugging" enabled, i've just spend over 2hrs tbefore i've figured it out...
I just perm rooted my G2 using the Visonary + gfree (No ADB) method, and it worked on the 1st try. I am also trying to backup my stock rom, and was wondering about the steps. I have ROM Manager, and I know that I need to flas ClockWorkMod Recovery, But do I do it before I attempt to backup my current ROM, or after? Do I need to erase recovery before flashing ClockWork?

I am pretty sure I accidentally deleted the folder on my SD card with Clockwork Recovery in it and now when I try to go to recovery I just get a red triangle with the ! in it. When I try to backup using ROM Manager it shows a loading bar for a second before giving me a question mark then rebooting.
I rooted but did not install any ROM except the "root only" one on the sticky post.
What do I do now?

ROM Manager isn't going to work unless you have installed the engineering image. To get back in to the clockwork you need to do that or refollow the original root procedure to get back in.
Well unfortunately my problem is that I can not see the device on adb anymore, even during normal operation.
Any idea why?

Make sure USB debugging mode is on. If that is on, then you have a driver or cable problem.
Well I have gotten adb to work again.. and tried flashing the eng build but it wont do anything... it definitely is doing something different when it starts up than before when I went to fastboot but it just brings me back to fastboot
yes.. i have the ESPRIMG.zip in the sd cards root folder.. yes I did every other step correctly just like the video... but still no go. i tried doing the boot loop again to get into recovery but I get nothing but the red triangle and !
Pleeeeeease help!
Okay okay.. so now it seems I got it... seems I had to start from scratch and delete clockwork mod that was installed from clockwork rom manager
now my only problem is eng build wont update.. no idea why everything is there with right permissions but it doesnt give me the option to update

ESPRIMG.zip is on the root of your sdcard, correct? What kind of messages do you get when you go in to the bootloader?
I am trying to get Clockworkmod working on my DZ.
I have got perm root by using Visionary and I have installed ROM Manager from the market place which appears to install the ClockworkMod image.
However, when I select boot into recovery, the phone restarts and I get a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
I have tried repeating the above steps a couple of time but it makes no difference.
What have I done wrong?

Just go into ROM Manager again (don't reinstall ROM Manager another time) and just flash the Recovery again. It seems to need two goes to make it work for some reason.
Tried that several times.
When I issue the Flash ClockworkMod recovery command it completes much quicker than the first time. Is this expected or do you think it's not actually completing the flash the second time? No error is reported.

For me, when I did it the second time, it was a lot quicker, yes. But it worked - i.e. when I selected the option to reboot into recovery (from ROM Manager), that booted the system straight into Clockwork.
Maybe try going into Menu->Settings from ROM Manager, then selecting the option to erase recovery before flashing ?
Just reading here, it looks like I need root AND S-OFF. I've only done the root stuff so far...
Stay tuned.

Root is enough! Install it again. The first time you've installed it you had temp root probably. It will be ok after a secong install.

I don't think you can flash any custom images, including recovery, unless you have S-OFF ? The write protection on the NAND will be on, which will stop you.
I do remember reading something about being able to flash rooms WITH S-on using a newer Visionary. Never heard anything since though.
Give it a bash n report back, it can only say no.

OK. I've now used the gfree package to get S-OFF too and managed to install the ClockworkMod recovery image. And I can boot into recovery too
However, in the course of my fiddling, I installed version 2.5.1.3 whereas the latest is 2.5.1.4 I believe.
I've tried to upgrade by using the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" menu and selecting 2.5.1.4 I always get an error saying "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I can reflash 2.5.1.3 most times without issue.
This is all with ROM Manager Premium 2.5.0.7.
What am I doing wrong now?

Although there seem to be 2.5.1.4 versions if you go to the download link directly at http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ , there aren't any for Vision (DZ/G2) there. So I think the message you're getting from Clockwork about a newer version is wrong, and you're on the latest (2.5.1.3) already.
Firstly, I'd like to apologize if this info is already somewhere on this forum or the web but I've searched endlessly since yesterday trying to find an answer to this.
The gist:
- Rooted evo using unrevoked3
- Stock info: hboot .97; radio 2.15.00.09.01; kernel 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e
build 3.29.651.5; pri version 1.77_003; prl 60670
- Flashed CM6.1.1 rom > tried to flash to a myn rom and had issues flashing going through ROM manager or through bootloader, screen kept freezing on white screen
- Somehow it came to be that the phone would endlessly loop on the bootloader screen and I couldn't get the CM6 rom to load either
- Ended up using a RUU (Supersonic_WWE3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.4044signed)
- Now the hboot is .93 and bootloader shows S-OFF but I dont have root access for some reason. I've tried doing the unrevoked3 process but even after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and that whole process the unrevoked3 program would not recognize my phone being connected to the computer and in device manager it showed my phone as a portable storage device instead of under android phone like the first time around
I have no idea what to do to regain root so I can flash roms on it again, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Try reloading factory settings then go through root process.
Then flash a ROM using ROM manager (its what I use).
Or just load into bootloader and install .zip from there. Another easy way to flash new ROM.

Can You get into Recovery? If so do a Restore of the CM6, then do a factory reset. Then Flash Myns

Ah I see .. well I guess my situation is a little different since I had to use the ruu I'm basically back to factory settings but after using it my S is set to OFF which I find weird .. not that I know much about rooting android but from the little I do it seems odd. And I dont have super user in my add drawer .. installed rom manager but said it didn't have SU permissions

It sounds like you don't have a custom recovery installed any longer. I would start your troubleshooting there and see if that helps at all.

Hi!
I bought a Desire HD a week ago and today I decided to try one of the custom roms. I rooted it with Visionary+, turned s-off with the one-click tool found in another thread, installed Rom Manager and Clockwork mod and then flashed it with a custom rom from the recovery/boot screen without wiping anything.
The problem is, when I later tried to install another rom, it wouldn't boot, it's stuck on the HTC boot screen. I've tried reflashing it, wiping everything there is to wipe and I even tried RUU but it won't recognize the phone. Can anyone help me how to restore to the normal stock rom?! I can bring up the Clockworkmod recovery menu if I take out the battery and put it back in.
I would be very grateful if someone could help me with this! Consider that I'm a noob though so try to write the instructions as simply as possible
Hi, I'm basically in the same boat (I take it you tried one of the stable CM6 builds?).
Digged through an awful lot of stuff, found something about downgrading clockwork.
Maybe this'll help you, I'm still having trouble.
I've found an older clockwork recovery image, gathered all the SDK bits and pieces, got my USB drivers set up after even more digging - now this:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
It's rooted, S-OFF, all that good jazz. Halp. :<

Which version clockwork mod are you using? And what is the ROM you tried to flash?
Sometimes custom ROMs can take 5 minutes to boot...so give it some more time and see if that helps.

seems like your pc is not recognizing your phone. And should not you flash the recovery first and then boot?
I did flash the recovery via Rom Manager, which gave me Clockwork Recovery version 3.0.0.5.
Then I had Rom Manager download CM6, it rebooted the phone, phone gets stuck in HTC splash screen.
According to the thread I linked above, I needed to downgrade Clockwork Recovery, hence flashing 2.5.x.x via command prompt.
The drivers are installed correctly, I'm at least sure of that.
Recovering my previously backed up stock ROM won't get me further than the splash screen either, same with wiping everything that can be wiped before that.

Then use ROM manager to downgrade the CWM to 2.x. You can do it under the option "All recoveries" in ROM manager. People are reporting problems with the latest version of CWM. Check if you get the same if you wipe everything and install another custom ROM.
Can't find a way to even get past the first splash screen - only thing I can properly access is the Bootloader.
Same here. When I boot I just see the initial "HTC" logo, nothing else.
I had Mike's Revolution HD ROM installed and working just fine, and then I tried to install another mod, which got me to this situation.
I have CWM 3.0.0.5 and I have a nandroid backup of the working system from before installing the last mod.
I tried recovering the nandroid, which goes smoothly (including the MD5 validation of the backup) but it still doesn't boot afterwards. I wiped the boot, system and data partitions and tried restoring again - same result.
I assume my next step is to flash a new ROM but unfortunately I don't have any ROMs on my SDCARD, so I need a way to push it there. I tried with fastboot but it doesn't recognize a partition called "sdcard". I believe adb should work while I'm in CWM but it just says "error: device not found".
Any suggestions?

Sorry, no idea which version, but it's the default that comes with Rom Manager. I downloaded Rom Manager yesterday so I guess it's the most recent Clockwork mod.
Left it for 15 minutes, still nothing. I used Android Revolution HD 2.0.11 for the first flash which worked and then when I tried to install Pays-ROM HD Sparta 1.0 I got stuck on the boot screen. I've tried recovering from the previous backup I made on the recovery screen with no result.
Just got mine back alive
Flashed CWM 2.5.1.3 and restored the nandroid with it.
Spending the last few hours searching the forums my best advice is to avoid 3.0.0.5
Went a different approach - finally figured out that you could mount the sdcard via Clockwork Recovery, threw newest CM7 nightly on there and installed it with Clockwork as well.
CHRIST that was a pain in the ass... and I thought downgrading the stock ROM was annoying.
as a rule i have found out cwm3 is for flashing gingerbread and cwm2 is for froyo

the REMOTE NOT ALLOWED error means you only have radio s-off, so you cannot issue fastboot commands to your device.
I'm having issues with a bootloop on the incredible after rooting using unrevoked 3 and making the mistake of choosing cyanogenmod as the recovery because I'm incredibly new at this. Now granted this isn't an issue, I have root access now and I'm able to assign superuser and the phone boots to what looks like the stock rom. However, I wanted to flash cyanogen 7 rc2 and it's giving me a lot of issues when I try to access the clockworkmod recovery screen. I downloaded the rommanager from the market and flashed the recovery to clockworkmod 3.0.0.8 as per a wiki online and tried to boot to recovery. from there it hits the HTC incredible screen, then flashes every 3 seconds rather than showing the green text it's supposed to show.
I still have S-on and unrevoked won't run properly again. Tried running the factory reset and it's another bootloop. I tried going through the steps for a "manual recovery file flash via cyanogen's wiki, but I'm running into errors.
Summary:
unrevoked 3.32 completed successfully even using the cyanogenmod rom as the recovery file.
Have root access, S-on, radio version ~.7.28
Can't flash back to stock due to bootloop
Can't factory reset due to bootloop
Can't get to clockworkmod recovery screen due to bootloop
phone able to boot to main screen with original
Ideal solution: get to clockworkmod recovery screen and install C7RC2
Any help appreciated!
Why do you think using ClockworkMod was a mistake? It's one of the better AOSP ROMs out there.
It sounds to me like you're probably going to have to download one of the stock RUUs to completely revert your phone to stock. You might have a corrupted recovery. You can't flash ClockworkMod or an alternative recovery via RomManager?
oh don't get me wrong, my huge problem here is that I can't get into recovery, and I didn't load clockworkmod initally, but it is (as rom manager says) my recovery image and it's just not working at all.
I tried going with a RUU and it wouldn't get into bootloader properly (just shows HTC on the screen till the the ruu times out) I'll try on a 32 bit machine when I get home. I was originally able to flash on that and unrevoked was giving me issues till I did a 32 bit xp attempt. Thanks for the response!
whoops, forgot to address your last point. Tried another version of clockwork and the RA_GNM 1.8.1 and neither stopped it from bootlooping rather than recovery screen.

I still have S-on and unrevoked won't run properly again. Tried running the factory reset and it's another bootloop. I tried going through the steps for a "manual recovery file flash via cyanogen's wiki, but I'm running into errors.
Summary:
unrevoked 3.32 completed successfully even using the cyanogenmod rom as the recovery file.
Have root access, S-on, radio version ~.7.28
Can't flash back to stock due to bootloop
Can't factory reset due to bootloop
Can't get to clockworkmod recovery screen due to bootloop
phone able to boot to main screen with original
Ideal solution: get to clockworkmod recovery screen and install C7RC2
Any help appreciated!

Did you try getting to recovery manually power off the phone while its off press power and volume down at the same time you should be in hboot use the volume button to scroll down boot into recovery.....

I don't think unrevoked finish all The way because you should be s-off did you wait until it said "done"..... or did you stop when it said "this is a triumph"

Okay, from a 32 bit system has resolved the flashing back to a stock rom, I will update as to whether I can get into recovery and will wait until I am told "triumphant" this time around.
Will post an update in a bit if this was all that was necessary to fix the issue. Thank you all to have posted so far, please post if you think I'm missing something else.

No you need to wait till it says done sorry you misunderstood me......let it go till it says done and it stops completely..... because the last thing it does is flash the recovery

Did you try flashing a recovery through hboot?

Okay, problem totally resolved. basically what happened was that there was an incomplete unrevoked process for whatever reason or another. I repaired by downloading the RUU off the HTC website and flashing back to stock. That generated an error of "your firmware is too new" which is available elsewhere in XDA, basically solved by going into hboot and factory resetting.
Once I had the factory reset completed, I used a 32 bit system to unrevoke the phone (after setting debugging to on in applications > developer settings >debugging on) then I was able to properly boot into recovery. I recommend Clockworkmod update to 3.0.0.8 in Rom manager, but I used 2.5 and didn't have much of an issue. I backed up and the wiped the memory and cache and installed 7r2 without an issue.
The phone is WAY more stable now (thanks to all the hard work at Cyanogen! Thank you also to everyone who posted here!) Pandora doesn't randomly cut songs in half and battery life seems to have improved. Whether that was verizon's crap or I went market-crazy and had waaaay too many apps syncing... I can't say.
Thank you everyone again!
