[Q] RomManager/CWM - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I running CM7 (nightly 58) and I already have CWM flashed, but when I open ROM Manager, it claims I don't and wants to flash it for me. Is there any harm in doing this? I have CWM version 3.0.0.5 showing when I reboot, and ROM Manager 4.1.0.0 installed.

Maybe it wants you to update to the latest version? (3.0.0.8)
I don't know, I don't use rom manager..

It won't hurt to reflash on top of it, even if it is already flashed.
The other thing that could be happening, if you delete the clockworkmod folder on your sdcard it will ask you to reflash. It uses the folder to keep track of what version you have.

What it wants to do is flash 3.0.0.8. You can do it with no problems. If you want to switch back to 3.0.0.5, just go to the section at the bottom that shows all clockwork recoveries and choose one.

Can't flash other ROM's after CWM issue

I was affected by CWM when I upgraded to 3.0. I can't flash any ROM's except for Fresh's. I've tried going through Rom Manager, manually downloading ROM, AR recovery. The ROM install will complete but when I reboot I'm still in Fresh's. I don't know what it did to my phone. I've even deleted the rom.zip and downloaded it again thinking it was a bad download. From here on out I'm permanently switching to AR so if you guys can let me know what I should do.
By the way I list my backups. I did have a backup of UD but it won't restore in CWM. Will it work if I copy the backup from CWM and move it to the Amon Ra folder? I don't want to try it and possible make things worse.

Yes I need help on this, too. I wanted to go to Myn's rom and can not at all. And I believe I read backups are not interchangeable between CW and RA.
You need to restore amon_ra 1.8 as your recovery and then reflash your rom. Cwm backups are not compatible with ra.

I tried that. I re-downloaded the ROM's, placed on the root, flashed in Amon Ra and it completes but doesn't boot up. Out hangs at the white htc evo splash screen. The CWM broke my phone.
I'm trying to avoid flashing the stock RUU and rooting again. I'm guessing there may be a file thats conflicting. By the way I deleted ROM manager permanently.

you can do this using cwm(rom manager) , if its greyed out then dl the latest amon_ra1.8 and put on the root of your sd card, then try again thru cwm. thats what worked for me.
But yea the latest cwm update isnt something to get excited about. doesnt play nice on some evo's.
stick with good ole faithful Amon_Ra and start flashing from recovery, not from some app. its always stable and not to mention wipes correctly/easily
Any tips? I need to get my AOSP rom and Sense ROM loaded.

New Inc Recovery [ v3.0.0.5]?

Did anyone flash the new recovery version in rom manager?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I did. Not sure about changes in the coding but the new UI is nice.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I heard it is mainly for 2.3 ROMs and such, is that true? I'm on Magnolia which is 2.2, would I run into any issues?
weird.. i flashed the new recovery through rom manager then booted into recovery but still had 2.5 on there..
Flashed it this afternoon, using CM nightly #32. Using ROM manager to backup etc., would give me errors when it got to recovery. Some error about the sd card mounting I think. It would work fine booting to recovery, just not using ROM manager. Think the nightly update tonight might address the issue. Had to flash back to an earlier recovery to use ROM manager.
Could not install a new rom with it.

I flashed slayers test kernel with it and it seemed to work fine. Have not tried to run a back up yet.

Is there a zip to install this new recovery instead of using rom manager? I always remove rom manager from CM7.

It requires some sort of new update script, we use the donut update script so koush is pushing us towards the future with this recovery, it works with any kernel because of it being koush's update script. Some roms might work, ask your favorite developer if it is compatable

Darnit! Flashed it and now I can't install any font packs anymore. I guess it has something to do with the update script. Going back to a previous version if I can figure out how.

I can't either
Running CM 7 nightly #25. Flashed the 3.0.5 and I couldn't boot into Recovery. Just reverted to 2.5.1.2, guess we'll have to wait until something gets patched up in CM.
Worked for me. I like the look.

oh man, i can no longer access recovery. dayum...
i guess i should post some details: updated from 2.7.1.? (2 or 3, whatever) to 3.0.0.5 via free version of rom manager. just happened to have my stock rom loaded at the time.
edit: thx everyone. downloading the zip and reinstalling got me back up and running. yay! thx! i am disappoined, though, that md5 operations still take 15-20 minutes. i was hoping that would be fixed in this release.

[Q] My Evo 4G won't flash newest radio update

I have the EODv2 Rom and I've been trying to flash the newest radio update EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02 and it's not working. Do I need to wipe anything before flashing? The file is in the root of my sd card but for some reason my phone stays on 2.15.00.11.19 after I flash. If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks

Use Amon Ra recovery if you're using clockwork.
Sent from my PC36100 "Fresh Rom" using XDA Premium App
No actually its from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
I actually just scrolled through the thread and it said it doesn't work with Clockwork Mod 3.0.0 but it will work with amon_ra recovery but when I installed that from the market it wouldn't work. It says you can only use this feature with VaelPak (which is the only app for the results when I searched amon_ra in the market) and is what I downloaded. It also says if you are running Vaelpak you did not allow settings root when it prompted and to purchase Rapid Reboot from the market (which I did also). So when I tried to reboot into recovery from this Rapid Reboot app (which I had to pay for) it still boots me into Clockwork Mod! UGH! some of this stuff is so frustrating!
You can install Amon Ra in hboot. Go to their webpage for instructions. Clockwork fails more than it succeeds besides downloading roms. If you flash new radios, Wimax, etc with clockwork it won't work. Learn to flash manually and with both recoveries to achieve optimum results. Here's a link for the newest radios:

Damn, hard day?
I don't think you'll be finding amonRA recovery in the market.
Go to his thread, and DL the pc36img version of amonRA 2.3. Then (as other poster said) drop it in root of sd card, and reboot. The file (recovery) is actually posted in 2 of the 3 threads above yours. Check the thread labeled "bootloop, no recovery".
But I would still go to amons thread to check the md5 on it (astro file explorer displays md5s if you need).
Also, if you're using CWM now, you're probably using rom manager as well. If so, I believe you can scroll to bottom (in rom manager) and select 'install alternate recovery'.
Good luck

[Q] Rom Manager

Ok so I have Clockwork Mod V. 5
I just installed
Rom Manager so I could use it to update Clean GB easier.
It keeps wanting me to install clock work.
How do I get it to see its already there

It's not until you install it. Rom Manager keeps it's own official copy on your sd card to unpack each time. Install it.

Yup, I installed CWM via rom manager, then had to flash it from the older ver of CWM before I could fully use it. Kinda odd, but whatever works right?

No you didn't. Rom Manager uses it's own CWM and your phone via 3 finger has it's own recovery. If you want them to be the same THEN you have to flash CWM5 as well in whatever recovery is on your phone. ROM Managers CWM is on the sd card.

If you simply flash 5.027 you will have 2 CWMs on your phone and they will be the same. As far as the ROM labeling what ROM are you on and did you flash Marcusant's speed up tweaks? That may have caused the labeling error. What does your phone say in About Phone?

You can just edit your build.prop and put your ROM's description on the line where it says marcusant.

Yes I did. I still see clockworkmod folder in my file explorer with everything in there, but I don't think deleting that will completely remove cwm
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
CWM itself was removed off your phone upon installing TWRP with Goo Manager.
What you see is the folder in which backups are stored.
You can delete this folder.
If you doubt, just copy the clockworkmod folder to your PC before deleting it off your phone.
As said above twrp goes right over cwm what's left over is backups and other things not needed anymore. Those are safe to delete

Hi. I am also in this predicament.
I had installed TWRP. Had issues with installing a ROM and installed CWM.
Was able to installed ROM using CWM.
Now I wanted to go back to TWRP more flexibility on my part like naming baks but even installing Goomanager, it does not have the "top right" option where I can install the recovery script.
Is there a way to reinstall TWRP without going back to stock and keeping my current ROM?
Thanks.

another twrp user yippe xD twrps the best recovery ive flashed cm 10 and many roms without a problem. Maybe you didnt follow flash instructions or what not... And yes delete all those nasty cwm blobs and **** they put when your done using it Go to goomanager and there should be an option for open recovery and that downloads and installs twrp for you
Yes, I had installed Goomanager but I dpnt see the option to install the script on the main page even on the top beside the search icon.
