For some reason I can't flash my radio/wimax/pri to the latest versions for some reason, I boot into ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0 and run the .zip file and it looks like it's running and it says updating radios for a split second then it takes me back to recovery.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I think you have to reboot before it flashes the images
I have tried first flashing the rom and then reboot into recovery and flash the .zip file but it still does the same thing, run for a split second and then go back to recovery and when I boot and check the radio version iit shows no change

Try using a lower version of clockworkmod... lots of problems for people with the versions 3+. I currently use 2.6.0.1 and everything works perfectly. 3+ is meant for the newest of new Rom's like Cyanogen 7... if your not on that, flash an older version.
P.s. stick with 2.6.0.1 as it backs up your wimax keys...

I will give that a shot. Thanks for the help!

In rom manager it only shows 2.5.0.7
Is there a link to how to flash to 2.6.0.1?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes I'm on my evo so I'm not going go searching for it... but you should be able to find it fairly easy. If I remember correctly I had to get the correct file, then rename it to pc3600.img then boot into bootloader and it will auto find it and ask you if you want to start the update.
Or you could just use the version that Rom Manager has but it wont back up your wimax and if you somehow lose that you'll hate your life...

After some research I found an image and some steps to flash the recovery. After that the install and radio updates went flawless. I really appreciate the advice!

i have downloaded a Rom named IncRom_1.1 via Rom manager app it works fine and i like it. The only issue is that i wanted to download a new Rom but i cant install it. It will download with no problems and it will begin to install but just before it is done installing it just reboots and my current Rom is still there can someone help me. Im still kinda new to this whole thing my mobile device is the Droid Incredible thanks in advance
You can try manually flashing it in recovery or maybe try going back to an older version of clockwork mod.

Being someone who took five months before I tried to flash manually due to issues with a browser, just say screw rommanager, causes more problems than anything :/

So what in your opinion is a good substitute for rom manager

Wrong place for this thread, but try a manual install via CWM. Reboot into recovery or turn phone off and hold down pwr+volume down then install via SD card.

Maybe try wiping the cache etc. That's what happened when I tried to flash my stock rom from virtuous. Yeah the best is go into recovery and flash it from there.

Clock work mod tells me something about the update script not working...feature was deprecated by google in android 1.5 ?

You need to use a different version of clockwork. There's a zip that temporarily flashes you back to 2.5.1.2 in the warm z thread.

Thanks.... worked like a charm... just like you knew it would. I WAS running CWM 3.0.0.8. Where do I find the latest to re-flash? Or should I just stay at 2.5.1.2?
Rom Manager still thinks I'm running 3.0.0.8
Just keep the temp flash on your card, never kmow when you will need it
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah if you used the zip in the warm z thread its just temporary, should go back to the version you were using before. If not, or if you want to switch versions later, www.dougpiston.com has all the recovery versions you need.

I am wanting to check out some of the 3.0 roms but i have noticed that you need hboot.92 where can I down load the zip file, and do I just install the zip in recovery mode?
Thanks
Swegin
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
You flash the file in hboot and can download it from www.dougpiston.com
Should be instructions on the site.
Did the same just today. Note that you should flash the Rom you are presently running immediately after flashing hboot, as it makes the kernel wonky. Then when it boots successfully, back it up before flashing the 3. stuff. Also, backups made with a lower version won't restore/boot in the later version.
You flash it in the bootloader screen. Follow the guidelines on Doug's site.

I have followed the rooting method 2 times now and I keep having the same problem. My phones lock screen comes on about every 15 seconds and stays on for about 10 seconds. This completely kills the battery in about 3 hours with no use of the phone at all. I've rooted and in-rooted twice now. No problems at all when I'm stock. I don't do anything to the kernel, either. I just use what the ROM comes with. I've tried CWM7 and two Sense ROM'S. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

hmmmm very odd. did you do full wipes when installing new roms? i've had quite a few rooted phones and have never seen this issue personally. maybe your power button is schitzing out.
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
Both times that I've rooted, this happens. It doesn't do this unrooted, though. I used the guide on YouTube linked from droidforum.net and I got the links for the zips from there, too.

I did full wipes both times from the recovery menu.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
very odd I'm stumped. did you root with revolutionary?
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
that's the method i used. the first time i did it was on 2.3.3 and the second time was on 2.2.1. i was hoping that that would make some kind of difference, but it didn't.
tell you what. try rerooting then after revolutionary kicks you into recovery just flash a custom ROM instead of the root zip. the custom ROM will be rooted anyway. wipe fist of course just to be safe
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
this is the walk through that i used and the links.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnlnWW8tsvo&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
do you think it could have anything to do with the links? maybe they're not current?
so to be clear. flash back to stock unrooted gingerbread. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. make sure a custom ROM is on your sd. wipe then flash ROM zip. don't install the root zip. don't know if that will do it just brainstorming
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
that's how I rooted. no sense flashing the root zip if your just gonna flash a custom rooted ROM anyway

what do you mean my "root zip"?
i run Revolutionary, then install CWM and SU. i even had this problem when i was only rooted, no custom ROM's, kernals, or root apps installed.
that's what I mean don't install su. skip that and just flash a custom ROM. cuz the ROM you flash will be rooted anyway. i've had trouble with an su zip on another phone
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, got it. should i just skip that step or would i just finish the process there. sorry, i don't remember if that's the last step.
by not installing SU, does that change anything? will everything still work?
no every thing will still work its how I got my phone romd and rooted. ok you want to go to stock 2.3.3 not 2.2.1. if u can't find the ruu for the gb stock let me know. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. boot into recovery and wipe everything then install a custom ROM of your choice. if you flash to gb stock from hboot make sure you delete it from your sd before running revolutionary or you won't be able to enter recovery without adb
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, i think i got it. i'll let my phone upgrade to 2.3.3 and then start. should i put the .zip for the ROM i want on my SD before i start so that i can install it in recovery?
yes. if you have cwm recovery DO NOT TAKE AN OTA UPDATE USE AN RUU

"incapable of updating your su binary since it is installed in /sbin. This is not an error in the updater, it is an error on the behalf of your ROM or kernel developer. You can continue to use superuser with your outdated binary. "
Any ideas?

Yeah you should gives this a shoot as well, but my question is, what kernel are you running then? i can see this zip, external or internal.
The kernel is 2.6.35.7
I originally rooted through ( http://epic4gtouchroot.com/).
Haven't tried autoroot since I don't have a computer available at the moment.

Ok, I seem to have noticed a possible culprit, I've got ROM Manager Premium and have flashed a custom recovery, however, whenever I try to flash into Clockwork (from the app itself and by holding up+home+power) on my phone instead of taking me to Clockwork it takes me to Android system recovery instead. Any ideas?

Odin a kernel that has CWM in it. I believe there is only one kernel supported by ROM Manager so far and I haven't even tried to go that route to confirm it yet.
