I doubt *flashing* clockwork would cause force closes. But you can always revert back to 2.5.0.1 or AmonRa and restore a backup. Check the "Legacy" area of ROM Manager.

I also had this problem as ROM manager kept informing me that a new version of clockwork mod was available. after "updgrading" I couldn't flash any new ROMs and got a truncated message that during the process that 3.0 series clockwork mod needed to have some files deleted due to changes with Gingerbread and something about google.... (sorry about the lack of good definition on this, but the text was truncated and I was freaking out at the time since I started getting stuck at the white HTC boot screen.) Eventually I was able to perform a recovery and finally flash back to clockwork 2.5 and everything is OK now.
Strangely, after doing this ROM Manager indicated that 2.5 CW was the current version... However, after a few hours I started getting the message to "upgrade" to 3.0 again. I'll just ignore that for now.
Does anyone know why 3.0 is not working for everyone?

I got this also, but i wasnt using CM...i was on a sense mod and was able to restore a different rom and went to the new amon-RA instead.
Maybe its something with CM specifically

It has to do with the scripts used in the update.zips. Most people are still using the olds version used in 1.5... Net said that he had to change it to the new scripts used in gingerbread which makes it not work with any updates or backups made prior. There is a topic on it in here where he explains it. He says to flash the 2.5 if it's not letting you update something.

They put up a new version of Clockworkmod recovery 2.6.0.1. This will work for all that had problems with the 3.0.XXX versions of the recovery. All the goodies of the 3.0XXX but with amend support so it will work with all roms.

All I can say is that Amon has never let me down. May want to check it out if you haven't already. Even their recent update was smooth as silk. No problems for me.

I had this happen to me too with a flash resulting in the white evo screen loop. I was able to flash to the amon ra 1.8 but I couldn't flash anything. So I upgarded to the new version of RA but am still not able to flash anything. I go into the white evo screen loop and then I have to pull the battery and nand a restore. Not sure what I need to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

downgrade back to 2.5.x.x. only some ROMs support the new FS for 3.0.0.5

How do I downgrade?

Nevermind I'm a [email protected]$$ thanks

Nandroid
Anyone else having issues creating a nandroid backup? It freezes every single time. Going back to older version and trying again.

I am having some problems with 3.0.0.5 also and would like to downgrade but when I select an older version from "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" in ROM Manager I get "An error occured while flashing your recovery."?
I have downloaded an older version in the format of "recovery.img" if someone could tell me how to flash it properly?

Did you try downgrading to 2.5.1.2? That's what worked for me

Yeah, that's how I get the error message. Funny thing is that isn't the version I had before...It was like 2.5.0.7? And that is what I have downloaded on my pc in the form of recovery.img....just not sure on how to flash it if anyone might have a link to instructions that I wasn't able to find?

Not sure if this makes sense, but I too blindly accepted the update for CWM, and had difficulty. tried downgrading to oder version, but kept getting errors, then I couldnt even restore any backups I had made previously and everything was force closing on me.
Ended up being able to restore a desire Z rom backup I had made and then able to downgrade versions successfully. Otherwise I was stuck.
As far as flashing the recovery, no input.

So....I just used unrevoked and loaded custom recovery (being the 2.5.0.7) I had downloaded and .....It worked with out any other problems. Except for that rom manager says I still have the newer clockwork loaded in version info at top? Which means it will probably not prompt me to update.

I downgraded to 2.5.1.2 & I am running Inc rom 1.2 and everything runs great

I've tried all sorts of things to get the new CWM to work, but every time I try to do a backup it freezes when backing up System/irssi.
Same for everyone else? If so, maybe this has something to do with the problem?

Anyone having problems where backups freeze while generating the md5 sum? Seems like it does this about every other backup.

also downgraded to 2.5.1.2... running chingys rom and everythings runs perfect.

[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
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970032 for details.

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970032 on how to downgrade clockworkmod.
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.

[Q] Why can't I flash 'Z' ROMS?

I have looked across this forum and two other forums and have not found an answer which will satisfy me.
I have successfully rooted and flashed different ROMs many times, so the whole process is not anything I don't understand.
I can successfully flash any of the Cyanogens, Incredibly Re-engineered, Redemption, and SkyRaider ROMs.
I CAN NOT flash but ONE ROM with 'Z' in the title and that is Incredibly Re-engineered Z. Every other ROM such as Super Z, Warm Z 2.2, IncDoes, Uber Z
My DInc will just sit at the HTC Incredible white screen when I reboot after a successful load via clockworkmod.
I have left it sitting for 30 minutes plus while sitting at work. Nothing. Only choice I have is to restore from backup to a working ROM.
Any suggestions?

The ROM's you quoted are mostly using ClockWorkMod Recovery version 3 for the install. If you are on CWM version 2 the result you are getting is kind of expected. The v3 scripts are not compatible with v2 but v2 does not know any better so tries to install it.
Go into ROM Manager and see what recovery you are on and use RM to install CWM v 3.0.0.7
I would then try installing the ROM with RM selecting the wipe option
SIDE NOTE: If you are on CWM v3 and you try to install a v2 based ROM CWM will tell you that it is outdated

That is what I saw on other sites, but I have the latest version of clockworkmod v3.0.0.8 and have flashed the ROMs successfully with it, but they just wont go past the HTC Incredible white screen. The ones that gave me script errors, I have flashed down to clockworkmod v2.5.1.7 or whichever i seen in the OP of that ROM
I just do not understand it. =( ... I dont wanna be limited

Sounds like it could be related to you not having a Samsung Fascinate. I'd try to get a Samsung Fascinate and then you might have better luck.
Get back to work.

You probably did not catch my recommendation to use 3.0.0.7. 3.0.0.8 has known problems with not clearing everything.
In ROM Manager at the bottom install CWM 3.0.0.7 and try flashing the ROM from the SD Card with ROM Manager and select the wipe option.

I might have to try this too as I'm having troubles installing roms and sticking in boot loop ..
If I change to CWM 3.0.0.7 from my current 3.0.0.8, will my previous backups on 3.0.0.8 still be useable through 3.0.0.7?
Thanks!

Yes your backups will work

I will give that a try. I currently have only two flashable files for clockworkmod ... v3.0.0.8 and v2.5.1.2
I'll try and find the previous versions of clockworkmod, nandroid backup my working ROM, wipe data/factory reset, cache and dalvik and try this one more again.

[Q] Gingerbread, custom kernels and Rom Manager

I'm having an issue with ROM Manager. I've contacted Koush and RA and we're are in the midst of working it out. I am curious if any one else has had the same, or similar issues.
I run CM7031 on my Evo. I recently flashed SavagedZen202 kernel from ROM Manager. I used it for about a week and I wanted to check out a taimat kernel. I backedup with CWM and tried to flash to RA to make a nandroid. ROM Manager said the RA was flashed, but when I booted into recovery I was still in CWM. I ttried everything, clearing cash, erasing recovery, un/re installing RM, flashing earlier versions of CWM. Nothing worked. So, without making a nandroid I flashed tiamat405. I figured that would clear up the issue, but I was wrong. Same issue. Finally I flashed a previous backup to CM with its original kernel and everything was fine. I could flash back and forth between CWM and RA. Thinking everything was alright and that I had done something wrong in my other backups, I flashed tiamat again. Same issue, I can not flash between recoveries.
If any one has similar issues or possible causes I'd appreciate the input.
Thanks

Kinda confused...so what actually is the problem?

Had the exact problem. Stuck on clockworkmod no matter what I do. To top it off clockworkmod didn't even work correctly, couldn't flash correctly. I tried to restore a Rom but it ended up being the same Rom, so it didn't actually restore. I ended up unrooting the phone and flash the Sprint 3.7 ruu to go back stock. Then I rooted again and RA/clockworkmod switching started working again.

I guess the problem is one of functionality, I can't flash back and forth between CWM and RA. Its not a big deal because I'm currently on RA and I like RA. But, I have to wonder if RM isn't working correctly are my nandroids backing up correctly? I could go back to CM7 kernel, but I wanted to push my OC a bit more and I wanted to use _viperboy_ scrip for uv and its built for Evo on tiamat. At least that is my understanding. So, what's the problem? A malfunctioning app, I guess! Or maybe an incompatibility between an app and a kernel?!?! And maybe something to do with the ROM? I don't know! That's why I asked.
I had a problem early on when I uped from CM6 to CM7 with Titanium backup, but I worked that out. I've been running CM7 for a while now without issue, until this.

you should just reboot in to recovery and flash your kernels from there instead of using RM its a much better way...

Yeah, I flashed SZ from RM just to kind of see how it worked. But I flashed the tiamat zip from recovery.
