[Q] Clockworkmod, what have I done wrong?

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.

LOL, yes, that'll be the problem, I should have thought of that

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.

Press Vol up + power on the red triangle screen!!!!!

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.

[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

rapidshare link expired, i just tried

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)

{full proof method of not getting bricked cause of battery}

as i have seen many threads stating that in the custom recovery one cannot charge the phone, so i thought why not use the stock recovery after flashing the rom!!
1. i flashed a custom rom in the custom recovery
2. after the first boot, i went to the hboot and flashed the stock recovery
3.restarted the phone and booted back to the custom rom, no reboots, no hangs what so ever, rom booted normally
4. switched my phone off from the bootloader to check if it works and voila it is charging !!!!
5.to flash a custom Rom just flash a custom recovery in the fastboot
i do know that you have to flash a recovery every time you flash a custom rom but till a proper fix is found it is better to do this than depend on your luck
Edit: (credits to cpv5 for this info)Make sure you don't go to recovery when you're on stock recovery as it will wipe everything on your phone & virtual sdcard and you will be back to setup screen again.

even better is that once you have done the OTA update to 1.28 you get the new Hboot which can boot properly so you never have to replace the stock recovery. just fastboot boot recovery.img if you need to change rom or nandroid

I dont think that the 1.28 Hboot has fixed the fastboot boot commands...

You can fastboot boot a recovery? not just a boot.img?

Very interesting, seems to be working for recoveries here as well (s-on unlocked hboot 0.94).
I'm really interested if this works properly for zImages as well. I thought PaulOBrein was working with htc for a solution for this "fastboot boot" though? Maybe some parts ain't working?

This is a great tip, thanks!
and is it just me, or does adb work when fastboot booting clockwork with the stock recovery flashed?!

I just add further note on your question here
See the edit part.

Thanks a ton ckpv5

Has a question here, how do we flash stock recovery in hboot? I only know the way of flashing stock recovery via fastboot with the command of "fastboot flash recovery [recovery name].img*
Is my way wrong or there is some other way?

Where do I get stock recovery from? Tempted to do this until cwm supports charging....

ok so...when you mean this, you are saying that by simply going to hboot and afterwards "recovery", it will wipe it all?! wtf?!

Because the stock recovery doesn't have menu like the CWM recovery, so once you choose recovery, the recovery process will run. Not like the CWM recovery, you need to choose which function to run.
So two things can happens when you go to recovery when you're on stock recovery:
1) the recovery will runs and wipe everything on your phone (I tested this)
2) the recovery will runs and there is error where you see the phone logo with red triangle, then you need to shutdown and restart to your current ROM.

[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).
http://download.clockworkmod.com/rec....8-marvelc.img
Try that. My new issue is that it freezes on CWM< maybe you won't have this issue, let me know.

Edit 2: It doesn't work. I've also tried the 9th version but nothing..

http://www.mediafire.com/?11nkszc18zlj2a9
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.

@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...

[Q] Unable to flash new recovery?

Hey guys, first of all im sorry if its in the wrong section(im a noob).
So, ive recently rooted my phone via the htcdev, everything went well ive flashed cwm and im using cm as my rom but my problem is that i cannot flash a new recovery. I just want to have cwm touch because i want to try out cwm touch recovery. I have tried flashing new recovery and it says its complete and everything went well(via cmd). I've also tried flashing new recovery through rom manager, when im installing cwm touch it says its been complete but doesnt actually do anything, and when im trying to flash cwrp it says installation failed.
What could be the problem?

First are your bootloader Unlocked not Relocked
Second use command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Third try Philz recovery it is really good.
Four When you flash the recovery after this run the command fastboot erase cache after this restart in recovery and you will see your new recovery
