[Q] Rom manager, rom backup and red exclamation point

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.

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?

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery 3.0.0.6 mod please Close

Question.... i rooted my phone using unrevoked and installed 2.5.0.1 but now i want to use the 3.0.0.6 i have it downlaoded and on the sd card of my phone and i ran it in recovry and it loads fine how ever when i restart my phone the recovery keeps reverting to 2.5.0.1
could someone just tell me where im going wrong with this XD
cheers the only thing i can think of doing is instaling a RUU then rerooting with a img of 3.0.0.6
Cheers

Hi there,
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901503

Well i have tryed to use unrevoked to flash the img file and it always passes the first reboot how ever it always eather failes with a communications error or it sits on waiting for system to settle. and after a reboot it still running the old clockworkmod recovery

I,ve managed to successfully go through the whole Unrevoked process, selecting custom image, yet I still have the old cwm recovery

Unless I run update. Zip. Or start. Recovery from rom manager I'm still using the old version. Is there something we are doing wrong or is there another method
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I have succesfully flashed it with unrevoked. Downloaded it from here http://mirror.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img
However first time it stucks at htc logo and then unrevoked says "waiting for root (safe to reboot if not working)" or something similar, so i disconected phone, pulled battery, booted and stared all again. This time everything went fine.
Only problem was that rom manager was still saying that im on 2.5.0.1, so downloaded this http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.zip and copied into sdcard\clockworkmod\download\mirror1.kanged.net\recoveries\ and deleted the old one from this path.
Hope it helped...

Finally managed to flash cwm 3.0.0.6 using Unrevoked 3.14. Unrevoked 3.2xx just didnt seem to work at all for me. Recovery is now a joy to use, and performing nandroid backups seems much faster

Sorry for the stupid question, but where can i get version 3.14? when i go to unrevoced.com i can only get version 3.32 wich says "Device Wildfire not supported".
Strange because I've rooted my Wildfire on this PC with unrevoked, so all Drivers are installed and it should work. I think it's a problem with the new version.
thanks in advance

Can't remember where I found it, but I still have it. I'll upload it later

After instal recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.6-buzz.img tru Unrevoked v3.14 there is problem with ROM CyanogenMod V7.0.0-RC2 superuser dont work i need to flash back with RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed.exe then again run Unrevoked v3.2 and after that do restore with 2.5.1

Unrevoked 3.14, for anyone who needs it

You can't update recovery from ROM Manager. We don't have s-off.
Edit: In fact I'm not sure if ROM Manager can do it even with s-off.

My rom manager recovery is 3.0.0.6
I have described few posts back how i manage to do it.
And i also have fake recovery 2.5.0.1 i some zips have amend script and i dont have time to convert it.

I meant, you can't permanently flash your recovery via ROM Manager. For that you need to use a reflash tool (Unrevoked for us) or use fastboot if you have s-off.

Oh, that, right. Sorry, my mistake.

Flashing recovery without rooting
Is there a way to flash a recovery using unrevoked without rooting?
I really need to send my phone to my carrier so I'm worried that they could find I've been messing around with it and void my warranty...

Are you having 2 superuser app conflicting each other after flashing via Unrevoked 3.14 as it is described in other threads? (ClockworkMod v3.0.2.4)

[Q] Bootloop help

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.

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.

Did you try flashing a recovery through hboot?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App

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!

[Q] Upgrading to cyanogenmod 7.1 issues

Phone: HTC Desire GSM
I have Cyanogen 7.0.3 and want to upgrade to 7.1, mainly to keep up to date but also because since I got a market update a couple of months ago I keep getting force closes whenever I try to update or download a new app. This also force closes when it tries to update the superuser app, as it says binary outdated and won't let me use it, then tries to download the new one and FC's.
When I try to go into recovery, I get the red triangle. How can I get a custom recovery like clockworkmod on there? I also noticed from the bootloader menu that I still have S_ON, how can I fix this? The suggestion from the cyanogen wiki is to use Revolutionary, but when filling out the form for the beta key, my HBOOT version is not on there. Mine is 0.75, the only two options are 0.93 and 1.02.
What are my options for getting cyanogen 7.1 on my phone, or at least fixing this awful force close thing that leaves my market unusable. I've tried a few fixes for it but none have worked.

jheeze theres a troubleshooting guide for you stickied.. so it's the first thing you see when you go into Q&A and yet you still post a new thread.. come on man that's what its there for! Just check it out and you can get a solution there

Uninstall updates on superuser
Try setting language to US English for market.
Assume you used Rom manager to flash before?
Also sounds like you rooted pre unrevoked?
At the red triangle, press vol.up plus power. Does it say HTC recovery 2.0e? If so this is the.leaked engineering recovery we started with.
If you used Rom manager, you probably have update.zip on your sd card to boot into cwm fake flash.
If not, here it is: http://db.tt/s6MoApxB
Put it on the root of sd and boot into the engineering recovery. Apply update from there then take a nandroid backup.
If its true alpharev doesn't work with 0.75 (have you tried? I don't know) best bet is probably to RUU. But in order to use alpharev, not sure if cm7 is compatible so flash teppic74 rooted stock Froyo. You can also do this via fake flash cwm. Run alpharev to test.
Like I said, if not, probably easier to RUU then root with unrevoked or s-off with revolutionary

It's the first thing I went to, but my situation seems to meld two or three of the problems addressed in that guide.
I'm rooted, with S_ON, going to recovery brings up the red triangle, my HBOOT is 0.75. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest some specific actions for me to take. It's a lot of things to consider and is somewhat overwhelming. I don't know where to begin.

I did this, it seemed to work, I can get superuser access on a terminal with su now. Before it would crash. But I tried following some instructions to create a market-download-cache folder but I didn't have permission to do it.
Try setting language to US English for market.
I tried that before, it didn't work.
Assume you used Rom manager to flash before?
Yes, I put cyanogen 7.1 on my sd card and went to flash through rom manager, but it went to the red triangle screen. If you mean did I use rom manager to get my current version of cyanogenmod on my phone, then yes I did do that. However that was on my computer before I upgraded to Win7. I had this .bat file that I ran and it pushed a load of files to my phone over usb which fixed the red triangle and took it to a recovery menu. I can't find that again. Would it work if I did have it?
Also sounds like you rooted pre unrevoked?
I suppose so. I got my Desire a few days after it came out, rooted it probably 2-3 months later.
At the red triangle, press vol.up plus power. Does it say HTC recovery 2.0e? If so this is the.leaked engineering recovery we started with.
Yes, it says 'Android system recovery <2e>, in blue text. I also have a small menu consisting of Reboot system now, Apply sdcard:update.zip(I assume that's from rom manager?), wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition. It also says below all that in yellow text, 'E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
If you used Rom manager, you probably have update.zip on your sd card to boot into cwm fake flash.
If not, here it is: http://db.tt/s6MoApxB
I heard Rom Manager is not good anymore as of some recent updates to it. It can mess up installations. Is this true?

Thank you for that. Is my situation bad, is it salvagable? So I should apply the update.zip from that recovery screen? What happens after that?
In fact, maybe I should revise what I actually want to do. I just want cyanogen 7.1, so do I even need to gain S_OFF? What do I need to do to be able to get into recovery and flash it? Is it that simple or do I need to do other things?

You doo if you want to use CM7 HBOOT. Some root apps also requires S-OFF.

also im pretty sure Alpharev works on that version, it's revolutionary that doesn't.

No not stock. Before unrevoked we all had to push an engineering HTC recovery (used by HTC engineers) not stock. It's the one.that says 2.0(e) at the top. You can apply update.zip only

The update.zip I used to apply regularly was the fakeflash cwm. I often forgot back in those days that the reboot into recovery from the power button took me to the Triangle unlike RM which took me to CWM.
The huge downfall of this setup is that sometimes if your FS is already a little corrupt, CWM decides to "wipe" the sd card, taking with it the update.zip for cwm.
Thats why I RUU's and rooted with unrevoked when it came out.

search your clockworkmod folder for a "update.zip"
place it in the root of your sdcard
when you boot the engineering reocvery, press VOLUME UP and POWER together.. it may take several attempts before you get anything.. sometimes you don't press it at exactly the same time or whatever
choose "apply update.zip"
When the new recovery is booted
flash a rom

Ive been in this situation and it can be a nightmare if the SD fails so personally rather than flashing a rom using cwm fake flash, I would simply nandroid backup.
Then RUU and start from scratch. As unique as the 2e is, its better to have a decent recovery flashed.
Update.zip should be on the root of sd anyway. If not, here it is:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/CWM2.5.0.7 fakeflash/update.zip

[Q] Problem Installing any Recovery.

Hi all it's the first time I post here because it's the first time i need to post here
You are all fantastic guys thanks for all!
Ok I got my HTC Wildfire S Europe unbranded, S-ON, Bootloader unlocked via HTCdev.
I can't install ANY recovery on it.
Here's what i've tried:
- Putting P**.img in sdcard. The sd has been firstly not goldcard and then i have "goldcarded" it.
- Flash the recovery by fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img)
Everytime i try to flash the operation comes successful but, when I try to boot to recovery, it stucks forever on HTC Logo.
What do I make wrong?
I can't install any rom because everyone comes in .zip ...

Root your phone,install Rom manager from the play store and select "Download Clockworkmod Recovery" then "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"

SOunds like the issue I had, I couldn't install it either, until someone pointed out that I needed a CDMA version of the recovery (CWM).

Try that. My new issue is that it freezes on CWM< maybe you won't have this issue, let me know.

Your link does not work, i'll look for that img btw, thanks!
Edit: Understood now that points were to hide the version, maybe
Edit 2: It doesn't work. I've also tried the 9th version but nothing..

Try that. Install using fast boot if you can't install it in hboot.
It's CWM 4.0X.X (forgot exact numbers)
It worked for me, my phone no longer freezes and I was able to install roms without any issues.

It correctly flashed but when I boot into recovery it stucks as always at HTC Logo.
But why?

I would contact this guy.

I don't remember any 4.0.X.X recovery for the wildfire S... strange.
@OP - Try alquez's CWM recovery.
Here: http://www.mediafire.com/?p2p88udo32m9xcg
Place the zip in the root of your SD Card, reboot into bootloader by pressing Vol + and Power, let it scan..... bla bla bla it will install.
Then enter Recovery and see if that works. That's the only way I see possible. Or try the above recovery.
Good luck!

I have alredy tried alquez's recovery.
I remember that firstly it said "Cid Error" then after i goldcarded my sdcard it said "Main Version is Older" and it didn't install.
BTW the main reason I'd like to flash a recovery is that I'd like to root again the phone after the last update. The only method I've seen is to flash root.zip via cwm because other one-click programs no longer works.
It looks like it's a damned phone...
