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?

Hey guys,
it seems i ****ed up my phone.
I rooted it, and while rooting it some error was displayed on the screen "dev/block" couldn't be created but continuing or something like that.
Though unrevoked said it worked. but now when i reboot the phone it gets frozen @ HTC-loading image and doesn't continue
i can wipe it what i want with recovery but it doesn't work at all.
can anyone help me?
the error message was, because i had no sd card in while rooting it i guess
edit: and i can't find the ROM .zips i downloaded to my sd card via the "choose a zip to apply"
You do have to wait a while for the root when it reboots. How long have you waited?
You can install a custom ROM or you can use the RUU to return it to stock and you can repeat the process again but with your SD in this time. Best option is to get a custom ROM and do it that way.
Since his rooting was the process which failed, better flash stock ruu and try it all over again.

Put your phone off. Hold volume down + power on until you are in the bootloader. Then select recovery.
Thanks very ill try that now and get back.

Good to hear
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

Reflashed clockwork 3.0.0.6 with it without problems.

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)
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.

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?
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!
Hi All
My Desire Z came back from HTC recently after being repaired as the speaker failed.
I had rooted the phone and it was running CWM+CM7.1, HTC returned it running HBOOT+Gingerbread 2.3.3 so I tried to root it again
First I gained temp root and downgraded to an exploitable firmware
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)
This was successful.
I then attempted to gain s-off and install CWM recovery
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting
Again this seemed to work ok, all the steps worked, I gained root and S-off, flashed CWM recovery and all appeared well, except I had no mobile data. I put this down to the exploitable 2.2 being a ROM from Asia and didn't think anything more of it.
This is where it went wrong.
I had taken a backup of my 7.1 OS before sending it back, I attempted to install the backup and it failed. When I powered the phone up I got the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen on a loop.
So I thought I'd reboot into CWM recovery, and reinstall the exploitable 2.2, then try and install a fresh copy of Cyanogen 7.2.
When I held down the front button, volume down and started the phone, I was met with HBOOT recovery rather than CWM which I thought was strange. I reinstalled 2.2, installed CWM Rom Manager again and downloaded CM7.1, put the zip on the SD Card and instructed Rom Manager to reboot into CWM which it did.
I chose to install the zip, it very quickly finished which was odd, and then rebooted the phone and I got the CM7.1 boot animation on a loop.
Again I front button+vol down power up, got HBOOT and reinstalled the exploitable 2.2, again minus mobile data.
So now I'm stuck. I don't know where to go from here to make CWM the primary recovery and install a new ROM.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Marff
Similar Issue with Desire HD Rooting !
As far as i know ,
I had a very similar issue while rooting my friends Desire HD.
After a successful downgrade , NO mobile Data > the desire HD did not reboot properly, i.e it did not *restart* , removing battery & starting was ok !! ( CWM ... similar Rom-flashing issues like yours ! )
Anyways ... after a LOT of work , lot of trial & error , i finally tried to re-download the HTC 2.2 img file Or the HTC RUU, whatevery you choose !
flash the official img file , which should send you back to android 2.2 , Unrooted + without CWM.
Then re-start.
Just make sure that the img file is the correct version / downloaded fully !!
Thanks, I'll start again from scratch and perhaps see if i can find a europe 2.2 ROM
OK - All sorted, now running CM7.1 with Gapps and I have mobile data
