G2 clockwork recovery

My phone is permanently rooted using visionary, and I have flashed clock work recovery from rom manager, but when I try to boot into recovery it just shows the phone with the red triangle? Can any one help me.
Thanks

From what I have read elsewhere, re-flash Clockwork Recovery.

Doesn't work.

You're supposed to only download and flash recoveries from Rom Manager if you're on wi-fi since T-mobile caches web pages but I was able to get around this by flashing an older version (in Rom Manager) and immediately reflashing the correct recovery (without rebooting or even leaving RomManager).
Of course you can always download the recovery.img file and fastboot flash it.

me too
Same issue. Trying to boot into recovery gives pic of phone with red triangle.
- I reflashed clockwork recovery (not sure is this helped)
- manually went into recovery manager from rom manager menu which loaded w/o problems
- selected backup and restore
- perform backup
seems like it is working...

Volume-up + power. If you already did that then i dunno

fix permissions in rom manager and reflash clockwork

recovery mode
newbie here, or course. back after 2 years away with BBerry, g2 cant get past recovery. i am looking for a way to get my device to turn back on... basically when i try to fastboot, it say i have the wrong image, or no image, fails to load E: sd card failed. i have acces to another G2 so i can get a copy of the stock rom image but has not worked::: i need assistance in this process. what do i need to load from the sd card to make my G2 turn back on or is this what bricking your device is? i have access to the recovery screen and can still load info from the sd card.
thanks for any info.

Are you saying your rom doesn't boot? Are you s-off? And if so can you get into recovery?
FYI - people generally don't fastboot from the SD, are you sure you were in fastboot mode and not hboot?

[Q] Cannot get Amon_RA 1.8.0 to work

I am trying to update my recovery from 1.7.0.1 to 1.8.0 and it's not working. When I run the adb command, it is successful, but when I attempt to boot into recovery the phone sits at the white "HTC EVO 4G" screen.
I tried via adb, terminal on the phone, and fastboot, all seemed successful but I got the same result. I was able to revert back to 1.7.0.1 and it works fine via the same method. I just want to be able to flash unsigned .zip files without going back to Clockwork. Any ideas?

You may have a bad copy, try downloading another copy and seeing if that will help. The one attached worked for me and should be good.

If that doesn't work, download rom manager from the market, have it install clockworkmod recovery and then select the option to install an alternate recovery and select AmanRa 1.8.

Check the MD5 of what you downloaded. Amon_RA specifically states to do so. Your own fault if that's the cause, and you flashed a bad version, all because you didn't follow instructions. :|

can't reboot into recovery

I, for some unknown reason, decided to flash CWM3.0.0.8 recovery through Rom Manager even though it was already on my phone. In theory that shouldn't hurt anything anyways. However when I went to reboot into recovery it gets stuck at the Splash1 screen...
I tried flashing CWM a few more times through recovery, still gets stuck.
I will try the "alternate recovery" now...
any other tips?

You said it was already on your phone so you could try and rename it PB31IMG.zip and place it on the root of your sd and flash it in hboot.
or
You could reboot your phone and downgrade your CWM to a more stable version and then flash it from your sd card?

Just flashing to a dif recovery should work

Yeah, try a different recovery. I had a couple issues, but my issue seemed to work itself out.

Rom Manager says 3.0.0.8 but recovery says 2.5.0.1

So i got the latest version of CW recovery but when i boot into recovery it says its 2.5.0.1
how do i get it to say 3.0.0.8 in recovery?? this might be why none of my roms will load

Mine would do that too, I think. It wouldn't work until I formatted my SD card to FAT32 I believe.

what color font is your recovery? I'm pretty certain they are separate updates\installs. Updating ROM Manager does not update Recovery.

its green font

ya, that's old 2.x. 3.x is orange. Just want to make sure... have you opened ROM Manager and then choose the first option, "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" ?

yup, the top of rom manager says 3.0.0.8
even when i go to the bottom and select older verisons, when i boot to recovery it still says 2.5.0.1

hmm ok. you could manually flash (see below) but I don't want to be wrong and have you try it and your phone b0rks. hopefully someone else will chime in and if they says it's ok, go for it.
manual way -> download the zip from here, rename to PB31IMG.zip, place on root of SDCard, boot into HBOOT, let it update.

Any other ideas before I try this??

When you flash from ROM Manager, first go to settings and check erase previous recovery.
See the thread in my sig.
BTW, there's very little risk in using a PB31IMG.zip to install a new recovery.
Also see dougpiston.com for recovery downloads.

Very important point.

So after i check it in setting do i click the flash recovery and pick 3.0.0.8?? and then let it flash that version? if so i did that and in recovery i still have 2.5.0.1
or do i click that, do a backup and try loading the new rom? im beyond annoyed!!

When i go into HBOOT it says image not found.

Formatted the SD card to Fat32?

Will I lose stuff on my card if I do that?

Yeah, just pull the files off and put em on your computer, format, then put em back.

Did you try WarmZ... I seen a zip file in there thread to allow you to install nightlies. it was suppose to set your CW to 2.5 for flashing the nightly and the reset itself. I have not tried it but that may be causing part of the issue.
otherwise did you try using ROM manager to change to 3.0.0.7 or 6 or 5? maybe that will reset whatever is going wrong with it.
Just a suggestion and good luck

I having the same problem. flashing the recovery by hboot worked for me. On 3.0.0.8 but Rom Manager will not work for flashing to older versions or alternate. So I'm confused why is RM not working for changing the recovery version?

[Urgent] error in /sdcard (Status 1)

So I was attempting to do a fresh install of CyanogenMod nightly build #85 while in CWM recovery. I wiped dalvik and /cache, then decided to hit the "Fix permissions" button. Now, I'm not sure what this did, but apparently it wasn't good. After I did that I went to flash the rom and got an error
error in /sdcard/downloads/rom.zip (Status 1)
Here's where I am in a bit of a twist. I figured I'd reboot (thinking my old rom would still boot) only to find out my phone does not get past the splash screen. I can get into the bootloader, however, I had left a PG132.IMG or whatever the file name is in the root of my sd card, and now everytime I load recovery it asks me if I want to install it, and my only option after choosing yes or no is to reboot the phone, so I cannot access the other bootloader options.
What do I do?
Well I seem to have gotten past the sd card issue as I just removed it, lol. But I am still unclear as how to fix this problem.

Try to remove the rom.zip file and download and flash a new rom.

Yeah just pop out your sdcard boot into bootloader select recovery then pop your card back in whenever recovery comes on and flash something else

Delete the file. You'll never get to recovery with it there.

I was not sure recovery would recognized ize my sdcard if I plugged it in after going thru the bootloader, but it did. I also had to redownload the rom. Thought I was stuck for a sec there, thanks guys.

make sure you mount cache when installing new custom ROM, hope that help,..
