Ive taken all the steps, rooted with visionary, s-off, downloaded rom manager, flashed to latest clockwork mod recovery, then ive tried to download cyanogenmod from rom manager, it downloads then reboots and goes to the recovery screen and i select reboot and when the phone comes back on nothings happended? can some one please tell me what im doing wrong?
Have you flashed clockwork recovery? Shut the phone down and start it holding the volume down button. In to recovery and see if it goes into clockwork, if it doesn't then you need to install the custom recovery.

Try downloading directly from the CM website on your PC, then puttin the .zip file in the root of your SD, then once you're in clockwork, choose "update from .zip file"

I've been having trouble with ROM installs and Nandroid backup / restores since I used ROM Manager to update recovery from ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5 to v2.5.1.2.
I would like to revert back to v2.5.0.5. I have the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.5-inc.img and recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.5-inc.zip. If I run the .zip file from the 2.5.1.2 recovery, it temporarily shows "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5" as the running recovery, but slips back to 2.5.1.2 upon reboot.
At this point my ROM / backups aren't booting. I can get to the adb shell while in v2.5.1.2 recovery. Is there a way to flash back to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5 from adb shell?
Thanks,
Dan
I renamed recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.5-inc.zip to update.zip and put it on the root of my SD card. I rebooted into hboot and it ran the update.zip, then booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.5. Unfortunately when I rebooted into recovery again, it was back to v2.5.1.2.
Someone has to have done this before... At this point my phone is dead to me, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm anxious to hear them.
Place this PB31IMG.zip on the root of your sd card and install through HBOOT.
Being an older version, it may or may not work, but is worth a shot.
"No image or wrong image" when trying to boot that from HBOOT. It won't install it.

Make sure your sd card is formatted to FAT32 rather than FAT and that your computer didn't inadvertently rename the file to PB31IMG.zip.zip or pb31img.zip.
Thanks for the quick response. The file is named PB31IMG.zip (capitalized properly, no extra .zip extension). The SD card is FAT32. I was able to flash a update.zip this morning using the same setup. Would it be advisable to rename the PB31IMG.zip to update.zip just to get it to flash?
What is this PB31IMG.zip? Is it back to the stock RUU or is it the ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5 Recovery?
It's CWM, downloaded straight from Koush's site and inserted into a zip by me.
Another alternative, if you are able to do so, is to use Unrevoked to install the recovery image.
I thought of the same thing this morning. I'll have to try to get a ROM to boot to use Unrevoked, correct?
I tried running Unrevoked while my phone was in recovery, but the Unrevoked 3.2 tool didn't like that too much.
My problem is that after installing a new ROM or restoring a Nandroid backup, the white HTC Incredible splash screen appears indefinitely. It doesn't seem to hand off into the ROM properly. I have gotten a ROM to boot all the way to the desktop before but it bootloops shortly thereafter.
I guess my path forward at this point is to try to get a ROM to boot to the homescreen, then run Unrevoked. Can I run Unrevoked on an already rooted ROM?
unrEVOked tool reports that it should not be run on any device that is not in perfect working order or it risks permanent damage.
PLEASE!!! Anyone that knows how I can flash back to a prior version of recovery please help.
Maybe I'm doing something else wrong... The only ROM I can successfully flash is Incredibly Re-engineered. Unfortunately this ROM has a bootloop issue after some time (known issue, see the development thread and lots of people have the same problem). To install a different ROM, I'm downloading via ROM Manager (SkyRaider or Virtuous for instance), clearing data and cache in recovery (with system and data mounted), running ROM .zip selected from SD card. After the ROM successfully installs and I choose to reboot, my phone sits on the white HTC Incredible splash screen indefinitely. Is there something else I'm missing to flash from Incredibly Re-engineered to another ROM?
Beware of ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2 on your Incredible!

Well, I've found some success. I couldn't figure out how to install an old version of CWM Recovery outright, but ROM Manager was able to successfully install the "alternate" recovery RA_GNM. I used this recovery to flash SkyRaider 3.5. Luckily, SkyRaider 3.5 comes with ROM Manager v2.5.0.7, which thinks ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5 is the most recent recovery. So I was then able to flash back to CWM 2.5.0.5 using ROM Manager before it realized that 2.5.1.2 was the most recent version.
To summarize, I think my phone is back to normal.
PLEASE tread lightly when upgrading your Incredible to 2.5.1.2!
i must have missed something or did something wrong.
i installed visionary, temp root and perm rooted.
ive got my custom ROM in the root of my SD card.
downloaded and installed ROM manager.
through ROM manager i installed clockworkmod recovery.
i installed easyradiotool and selected Rdio S-OFF
running ROM manager i selected "install ROM frm SD card"
selected my ROM and it booted into Recovery, i was given 4 options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partion
which am i meant to choose to install my ROM, or what have i missed out?
many thanks
Re-Flash recovery from within ROM Manager, some users require it to be flashed twice.
I did exactly the same (except for that Radio S-OFF thing) and I have the exact same problem.
All I get is that mobile phone with the exclamation mark.
Help please..
bangbangparis, you need S-OFF to get ClockworkMod.
I got mine flashed, red triangle with exclamation mean its in recovery mode, press the + volume button and power then go from there.

Ok sorry I'm new to this stuff..
so apparently i did S-OFF because I got the ROM-Manager.
But what do I have to do in Recovery Mode? It gives me only those 4 options you mentioned before.
I'm close to smash my phone against a wall..
You can have Rom manager without S-OFF, too. Go to bootloader and see if it says S-OFF at the top.

Which version of CMW did you install from ROM Manager? I know when I first flashed it to my DHD I had to go to install update.zip to get to the Recovery menu them from there i was able to flash the custom rom
I am running Rom Manager Premium v4.3.2.4 cw recovery 3.0.0.8. ROM Manager does not see any updates for cm anymore and if I manually download it and try to install it all it does is boot to hboot, and does not install. Any suggestions would be grateful!!
I haven't used Cyanogenmod in months btw but I'll try helping out. Let me get this straight, have you ever been able to successfully flash and use any CyanogenMod 7.x nightlies? If not, make sure you have hboot .92 and latest Rom Manager/ClockWorkMod.
What is your wipe/install process? I have always used recovery to flash a rom (AOSP and Sense alike), always has worked fine in my experience. Have you followed the CM install directions (directly copied from CM7 Nightlies Progress 7.1 thread)
1) Download ROM with Rom Manager Premium.
2) Do not install with Rom Manager
3) Reboot into recovery.
4) Make a backup/nandroid (to be safe)
5) Wipe Cache
6) Wipe Dalvik
7) Install Zip from SDCard
8) Nightly at /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirror.teamdouche.net/get/inc/
9) /Gapps at sdcard/clockworkmod/download/goo-inside.me/google-apps/
10) Reboot
11) Enjoy
You should only be in hboot while installing when doing the following:
-turn your phone off
-hold power button & vol down
-boot into hboot
-Vol down to select then boot into Recovery
The way I read it, he was trying to install from rom manager but it was just booting into hboot. I'm not sure why it would do that instead of booting into recovery though. Like the above poster said, I'd install the rom manually. As for the rom manager problems, maybe try downgrading to a previous working version or contact the dev (koush) if the problem persists and there isn't another solution. I don't use rom manager so I'm not much help, sorry.
Sorry for the slow response but I was out of town for the weekend.
I have been able previously to update nightly's using rom manager.
Since getting home I downloaded latest nightly, rebooted into hboot, then to recovery attempted to do a nandroid but it hung, hit power button to go back to menu, tried to update from zip but hung again. The only option that it does not hang on is power off.
I have searched market for clockwork but only rom manager comes up, is there another way to reinstall clockwork recovery?
I have resolved this issue, I uninstalled ROM Manager, re-installed it, changed cw recovery to older version, re-flashed latest, and was able to install latest nightly.
Thanks for the help SlimSnoopOS and k_nivesout.
Glad you got it worked out. You can also download recoveries from www.dougpiston.com, they're PB31IMG.zip files that are flashed in hboot.

Hello, i've installer the latest version of Rom Manager, the latest version of Clockwork mod, done the radio s-off using the guide on XDA.
I want to install the RCMix 3D Rom, when i open Rom Manager and press Reboot Clockworkmod the Desire HD reboot and after the HTC logo appears the image in attachment.
I tryed taking the battery from the phone, inserting in and connecting the phone to the PC but nothing, i tryed switching the phone on pressing down button but nothing works.
Can you guys please help me?
Sometimes the recovery simply fails to install on first attempt, try installing it again and see if that solves it
hey everyone,
So i just rooted my phone using the wiki cyanogen mod, and everything worked great... afterwards I downloaded rom manager and used this method here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Radio_and_CyanogenMod
Method via ROM Manager
Launch RomManager.
Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.
Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.
Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.
Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps* option.
Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.
If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.
The HTC Vision will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.

After this the phone rebooted and now it's been stuck on the white htc screen... I'm completely clueless on what to do now.. any help would be great thank you guys
So did you flash a 5.x.x.x recovery from ROM manager? People are having issues with this.
Pull the battery and try booting up again. If this happened on your first attempt (aka it hasnt actually wiped or anything) just go back to your ROM, and flash a previous CWM recovery. 3.0.2.4 works. THEN try to do the process.
All ROM manager is doing here is automating a process you can do yourself. I'm assuming what happened is you're having a problem with the new recovery when it reboots to go to the recovery, it hangs on HTC screen. ROM manager and CWM haven't even had a chance to do anything yet.
Another option is to pull the battery and boot with vol. down + power, then enter recovery. See if it enters. If it does, then you can reboot and run the install from ROM manager and it should work this time. You could also do it manually at that point if you wanted.
For me (and many others) when using a 5.x.x.x CWM recovery, the first boot always hangs at the HTC logo, and after a battery pull and a 2nd attempt to boot into recovery, it works.
if i was at your position and cwm is installed, by look at your post it is installed.
i pull battery out and put it back in. turn on your phone whilst holding volume down.
it will scan for pc10img if there's any dont install it...
then there should be an option for recovery, use the volume rocker to navigate gate and your on button to select.
your phone will restart and hopefully load cwm manager.
if you've got there then you can wipe data and cache then install a different ROM or another cyanmod rom.
thank you guys for all the help! it was much needed, I have successfully rooted my phone and I have cyanmod 7, i'm so glad i didn't brick my phone hahah
Gratulations
