[Q] Rom Manager Sux Now??? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i need a different recovery than rom manager all i get now is error messages when flashing new roms something about it being updated to 3.0 gingerbread and i dont understand then it says flashing aborted??? wtf does that mean??? I never had a problem before. Im thinking of getting a different phone so i can start fresh and not install that stupid program. Why update a perfectly good program to the point of not even being able to use it?? Someone save me im going crazy. If anyone has a link to a different recovery or an older rom manager version plzzz hook me up with it.

What version of CWM are you on. I'm assuming 3.0.0.5 ........

It sounds like you are most likely using the new RM (3.x) with an old recovery (2.x)
For more info on the changes to recovery:
[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL]Clockworkmod 3 series
That will also explain why you are seeing certain scripts fail.
If you want to update your recovery, in RM go to your settings and check off "erase recovery." Then in the main screen again, scroll down to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and choose 3.0.0.8

That would be a massive overreaction to a very fixable problem. Also, it doesn't matter what phone you are using: to use RM's functionality, you have to be using a compatible version of recovery.

The link I provided above will fill you in.

Sounds like youre trying to flash a zip not using edify...ask the developer to update to 3.x, i also never use rm to flash roms, and i advise you to go into recovery manually. 2.x is going to be obsolete if it technically isnt already. So eventually well only b using 3.x

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery Help!

Hey All,
I am a long time "rooter" (June of 2010) on my Dinc. However, I am trying to Flash the new version of Clockworkmod Recovery. I open Rom Manager, click option 1 to "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" to version 3.0.0.5. It asks me to verify my phone (Dink) and then says it flashed correctly. So, I reboot into Recovery and it is still the green text and says version 2.5.x.x. I reboot the phone and look in Rom Manager again it is says my Current version is 3.0.0.5. So, Rom Manager thinks I have the latest version of Recovery but I don't. I have tried other methods of Flashing the new version but that isn't working either. Specifically, I tried the ADB Shell. I get into ADB Shell just fine, but when I try to mount the SDCARD I get an error. I can boot the phone up and navigate just fine to the SDCARD. So I am not sure what the issue is. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
**UPDATE** I also had update.zip on the root of my sdcard, I deleted that and it still doesn't work.
i think you have reformat the partition

Will that do damage? What partition, the SDcard? Please elaborate. Do that in the Clockworkmod Recovery?
FWIW, the new clockwork has compatibility issues with 95% of the flashable roms and extras out there right now. I wish I had not updated, and I am unable to go back (a nand restore would not do it.) Unless you feel a pressing need, you may be better off with the old version.
I got so frustrated, I switched my recovery to Amon_RA, which seems to work better for me at this point.

Ok, well I am using CM7 ROM and I think you have to have the new version. I reallly like CM7 so it would be worth it for me if I can get it to work. Can I use Amon RA with CM7 Rom?

You do not need the new recovery for CM7 to work. You should also go to 3.0.0.8, there are problems with 3.0.0.5

If your theme/extras developers have not upgraded their install scripts (like they have been warned to do for quite a few months) then this is the reason they do not work with the new CWM.
I followed the instructions but it still isn't working. I think the issue is ADB Shell can't mount the SDCARD. While in recovery, I can navigate to the SDCARD, but for some reason ADB Shell can't mount it. I tried all three methods as prescribed in the link. None work.

While you are booted in recovery I do not believe you can flash a new one. Boot to your ROM and try from there.
I figured it out. I ran the Unrevoked for Life patch and at that point it would let me update the Recovery image. Not sure if that was a prereq. or not. However, I am still experiencing issues. I am running CM7 with 3.0.0.8 Recovery. I am trying to update the nightly builds and it fails. Using Rom Manager to update my rom, it downloads the update. Reboots into Recovery and then says something about E:\ failure.
Well, I finally got the new recovery image but I can't update CM7 ROM's. It downloads the "Nightly Updates" but then says it can't mount E:\ when it reboots into recovery.

Is this a problem or is it not a problem? Rooting.

I don't want to make this long so here goes. I don't have a clue what happened but it some how worked.
I just wanted to root my phone so I went to this site and followed the instructions to the key.
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-new/
I had problems with step 10 and I dont even know if i properly saved the wimax what ever the hell that is/
When the bootloader came up it would just load from the sdcard and load up the " PC36IMG.zip" and and update.
I was never able to do step 11.
I kept going back and forth trying to repeat the step and that z4 app would never let me unroot and i repeatedly rerooted.
So I decided to reset my phone and sdcard hoping this would reset the whole process.
I then found something else to root. This website.
http://theunlockr.com/2010/07/20/how-to-root-the-htc-evo-4g-unrevoked-method/
Unfortunatley I didn't follow the instructons right because I am a damn fool.
So I went to straight running the unrevoked app without running the modified Android USB driver. Wierd thing is that I already got that superuser ninja looking guy in my apps. I was able to use wifi tether.
Now here is the thing, I was never able to do that recovery thing with that little black screen with green letters. It seems that I skipped that step to recover something. How can I redo that?
When I went to ROM manager and tried to install a ROM it says "flashing an update package on a recovery other than clockworkmod recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"
Does that mean it won't work? Im afraid to push Proceed.
Hope I made sense for someone to help. Its a giant mess... I wish I could start all over...
Boot into the bootloader and accept the update and reboot, that'll install a recovery for you.
Also, you're using the paid version?

Dude I love you. What about when loading the ROM from ROM manager, "flashing an update package on a recovery other than clockworkmod recovery may not work properly. Proceed?"
What is clockworkmod recovery, what does it do, where do I get it?
Oh and yes i am using the paid version, why should I get my 5 bucks back?

Clockwork recovery is just different from amon_ra. You can go into rom manager and click flash clockwork recovery, if you wish. And that message means like flashiing clockwork on amon_ra , you may get errors. Also, you can use clockwork on amon_ra, as to still download roms, but you can't backup with it.
I also want to add ever since I tried the root, it took my phone back to the stone age. I los the newest htc update with swype. Why is that?
The Rom Mananger isnt working for me either. It wont load any ROMS. IT says downloading but nothing ever happens, how long does it take to download a ROM?
I downloaded this OTA SUPERSONIC 3.70 and it wont load either? Whats going on .
I really need some major help!

I'm not sure why you would root your EVO without knowing anything about the process or at the very least the terminology, but it's not too late. I recommended that you go and read and get a better feel for the process.
There are at least a dozen threads on the subject. Here's one to start you off Helpful Threads.

From what the error sounds like is that it doesn't think you have the correct device. You have a CDMA phone and not a GSM?

did you try downloading the files from another puter??
i think i might know what the problem is my cwm says 5.5.0.2 and im looking here at somebody posted in the development section for a cdma cwm and it says 5.5.0.4 could that be the problem? if so how do i redo my recovery, follow the same steps i did my first one, i downloaded and extracted the files to my c drive and opened cmd and typed the commands, can i do that again while having already cwm to flash the new cwm on top of the old one? if thats the problem

[Q] Radio fails to flash under CWM 2.5.0.7 recovery

I've been searching for a solution before writing my own post, for I'm aware there are probably many, many topics of people dealing with the same issue.
Well, here's is my problem.
I've got two wildfires A3333. Flashed CM 7.2.0 on both of them, successfully. GPS does work on only one of them. I've tried the GPS test on the other one. The compass is working, the localization is not.
So, as said before, I've googled for some solution for the other one, and here comes the temporary downgrading of CWM to 2.5.0.7 and then installing one of the following: buzz.radio-3.35.15.31-signed.zip, buzz.radio-3.35.20.10-signed.zip or buzz.radio-3.35.19.25-signed.zip that will be put on the SD.
Ok, everything is set up, let's reboot to recovery.
Now, the recovery screen is showing version 3.0.0.6 and I don't know if that's normal, since I've set it to 2.5.0.7 before rebooting. Won't mind for now.
Let's flash the zips. And all I get is this message, with all of the radios:
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Uhm, let's try by setting the option toggle signature verification to disabled.
Here's a different message:
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockworkmod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
It seems that the 3.0.0.6 version shown on the main menu is kind of relevant... Should it show 2.5.0.7 instead of that? What now?
Thanks in advance.
After flashing the temporary CWM,it'll automatically boot into that CWM version. Now flash the radio with that.
And if you reboot you'll return to the CWM version you had before.
To fix GPS you could also use this method,

Yes, if by "flashing the temporary CWM" you mean entering the ROM manager, tapping on All ClockwordMod Recoveries, download the 2.5.0.7 version, let it install and tap Reboot into recovery, well that's exactly what I did. And the recovery screen is showing me this 3.0.0.6 version anyway, which is kind of suspicious to me.
I've already read the topic you linked, some days ago, but that means having to wipe the CM 7.2.0 and reinstall it later and I'm not sure whether I can backup the apps that are in the EXT partition since I'm using Link2SD. And honestly, I'm not even sure I'm able to make a good backup.

I wouldn't really recommend using ROM Manager, and what I meant by flashing was to flash the CWM zip with your current Clockworkmod recovery.
And also consider upgrading your recovery.
And about the guide, just make a nandroid backup with CWM, and restore it instead of flashing a new rom.
Hope this helps
I shall give a try to it all and let you know.
One last question before I proceed. In order to upgrade my recovery I'd have to download the latest CWM available for Buzz and install it the same way I'll do with v2.5.0.7 (of course, after that step), am I right?
Thanks!
Ok, I've installed the v2.5.0.7 via the install from .zip option and got to install the radios. Woo!!
No, hold back.
Now the GPS icon is showing up but GPStest doesn't detect any activity.
I've installed 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 first, then 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31 and then 13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25. Same result.
Now should I rely on plan B?
I've read of someone who got it working by installing the 3 radios in crescent order. Is it worth a try?

No, that'll only be temporary, as with 2.5.
Get the PC49IMG.zip file for that recovery, put it on the root of the SD, reboot to bootloader, it'll scan and will ask to install, select yes, you're done.
First GPS fix will take some time, maybe from 2-10 mins.
I've only flashed the .20.10 Radio. It worked for me...
Or if you have a sense rom or the backup of your stock rom, give the guide a try...
Try this radio file. link, worked for me under cwm 2.5.0.7

My fault, there's something I should make clear.
The radios I've been talking about before have been installed on the first Wildfire, the one I said the GPS was working (and in the meanwhile it proved to be untrue as I discovered the GPS icon has never showed up before flashing the radio). This one Wildfire has CWM 2.5.0.1, installed with Unrevoked. The second Wildfire (which I'd like to use as my usual phone) was rooted with PC49IMG as Unrevoked wouldn't work with it and is running CWM 3.0.0.6, which I've reported in the first post.
For now, let's discard the CWM 3.0.0.6 phone.
It is on the CWM 2.5.0.1 phone where I've temporarily installed 2.5.0.7 and flashed the radios. Could it be relevant?
(maybe I'd better update the CWM anyway)

Uhm, link is broken. My CWM 2.5.0.7 looks to be working properly anyway.
stick with 2.5.0.7 recovery and 20.10 radios, that worked for me using Navitel, as for file here.
Flashed Froyo 2.2.1 shipped ROM... and GPS didn't work on it either. Great.
I've restored my CM backup and found out all my link2SD linked apps to be screwed in return. Vanished. Link2SD says there's soooo much free space in that second partition... can't imagine when it's been formatted, but nevermind.

Not really sure if CWM matters or not, we use 2.5 to flash radios because the flashing script is different from currently used ones.
Ty upgrading anyway,
Are you sure it isn't a hardware fault. If GPS doesnt work in stock rom, it could possibly be a hardware issue...

Too weird it happens on both devices, even if... well them both have had a nice dive in the sea but GPS used to work before flashing the new ROMs on each phone.

Hello. I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 - T210 and i think i really screwed it up. I did not make any backup, that was mistake NR one.
I got clock work mode up and running but i cant install any ROM, have tried The original Firmware, RocketTab, Cyanogenmod and cant pass the installation process and i think i cant turn back cause i got no backup and no way to install it again.
When i run any of these ROMs i get this error :

No matter what i do, im a a bit scared know cause i think i am really close on destroying the tablet.

So yes, switch. All else is almost always solveable as long as your recovery is solid.

To be 100% sure when people say recovery they mean the programs like CWM or TeamWin and so on right ?
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
But the thing is that the problem is the installation process, it does not matter what ROM i use i get still the same error.
And for the Philz Touch could you copy the name of the link that i should download, they all look the same and way more links that i am used to.

The reason you can't install any rom is because you do not have the latest version of CWM installed. You should always install the newest version when you install any recovery.
The newer roms are using an updater-script that will not work on CWM 6.0.4.7. Install an updated recovery and then install the rom that you want.

Audriuss95,
Is it bad for the device to change often the recovery software ? cause i have done that couple of times, started with TeamWin and later on ended up with CWM.
To answer your question no yes maybe. Travel around through XDA and read/learn and you will understand.
as for philz i would try this one https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/lt02wifi/philz_touch_6.44.9-lt02wifi.zip
in general find a recovery that works for you and stick with it until an update is actually called for.

If I were you, I would unroot and return to stock using ODIN first before I try anything else. If you need instructions, Google "unroot and return to stock using ODIN".

Without a backup, you will lose your data and files. But you can restore, since you can download the firmware from SamMobile.

6.0.4.9 is the latest.

Choose the one with "flashable" in the name and then flash it using your current CWM recovery; then reboot recovery.

good to hear you got it sorted. CM just isn't happening yet. just watch the forum like a hawk like everyone else is...:cyclops:
If your worried about destroying your tab you prolly shouldn't have come to mod it.I know sounds like a douche bag thing to say but even putting on the flash or roms that go with the tab can destroy your tab if done improperly or even if they glitched while flash which does happen or even worse power outage when flashing.

Nono it is okey to say something like this, but the thing is i like to learn this stuff, took me about 3 days to learn how to flash a BIOS on a computer but when i got the hang of it i learned it.
I am scared of destroying the tablet but how else would i learn ? cause reading does not always help But i got it back up again. And i knew when to ask for help.
But the RocketTab looks to work well at least for know, but would love CM mod couse i have it on my S4 and when and with the RocketTab i only get android version 4.1.2

Thank you for the fast help, the tablet is up and running, gone skip for know trying to use CM mod.
