[Q] Updating clockwork recovery?

Being thick here but i cant find my answer..
ROM manager shows Clockwork Recovery as 2.5.0.7 but if i actually boot into recovery it is showing as 2.5.0.1??
How do i flash the new recovery so it actually uses it??.. Or is it not worth it??.. ie if it aint broke dont fix it??
Cheers

use unrEVOked 3.21 again and it'll flash the new version

Will it wipe all my stuff on the phone??.. Running DeFrost 4.4 with no issues at the moment.. so dont want to bugger it up if new recovery is not worth it?

I dont know, I only used 3.21...otherwise just use fake flash
Not really worth it if you're happy with it

no its just a recovery image it wont touch the way your phone is

Havent a clue how to use fake flash.. think i will leave it.. Appreciate replies

If you boot into Recovery via ROM Manager, you are using fake flash!
Essentially ROM manager sticks an update.zip file in the root of your SD card and reboots into recovery and "fake flashes" this file - essentially it runs your latest ClockworkMod Recovery, but it can't actually really flash to to the phone, which is why you need to use UnrEVOked.

[Q] rooted evo... bricked evo... help!

got my evo about a month ago. rooted lastnight since unrevoked finally pushed out their 3.3 version which is updated for my version of hboot (2.02). the root went very smoothly. i installed the latest cyanogenmod rom, only to discover there was no market or gmail app with the rom! wish i had known that before. after doing some research online, i found out i needed to flash or install a "gapps" apk. so, looked around for that for a couple hours and couldn't find it. i downloaded what i thought would be the right .zip file to get the market on my phone (a vending.apk that was listed in another thread having to do with this same issue). so anyway... downloaded that, moved it to the root of my sd card, flashed it through clockworkmod recovery (by the way, everything up until this point was perfect) and finally rebooted my phone... only it never rebooted. the white htc EVO 4G screen was there. then, black screen, as if it was about to begin the cyanogenmod boot screen and fully boot. but, no. it went from white evo screen to black screen... to OFF. after this, i couldn't even turn it on to get it into hboot or access recovery. tried to do that for two hours. and finally i was able to get in... so i tried doing a factory/data reset through recovery, then a cache clear, then reboot. nothing. same thing. went back into recovery, tried reflashing cyanogenmod rom again. nothing. tried flashing myn's rom. nothing. all i get is installation aborted.
i am pretty sure that this is not a complete brick since i am now able to access hboot and recovery. but if i can't flash anything... and i'm stuck in hboot and recovery and cant boot my phone... what the hell do i do now? please help me figure this out!! anybody have any good advice or a known fix...??

Boot into recovery. Do a factory reset. then wipe cache and dalvik catch. Re flash cynagon and let it boot. You then need to find gapps.zip. Boot into recovery flashing gapps.zip.

i did all that. step by step. and when i reflashed the rom, that is when it wouldn't install, saying installation aborted. but, i'm gonna do it again. let's see if my phone wants to play nice now...

If that does not work! you are going to have to update with sprint lovers rom, that is in a PCM36IMG.ZIP. Install it by holding the _vol and th power button, boot into boot loader, than it will search for the zip file and ask you if you want to update, say yes ans just weigh for it to be done. Its going to take few minutes first boot! just hold on. I hope this helps in anyway.

do you think that sprintlovers rom will install even if no other rom will install? because... i was able to install Gapps.zip file just fine. but every rom i install is unsuccessful.

ok is the install through recovery supposed to be almost instantaneous? it didn't take a minute like every other rom. and after reboot (10 minutes ago) i'm still sitting on the white htc EVO 4G screen. i don't think this is working either. but i really do appreciate your help. any other suggestions? is there anything else through recovery that I can do (since i cant make it past that) that might fix my system? anything in partition? i'm so stuck!

Nothing is working!!

Did you try a rooted RUU yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
Wipe everything twice first (just to be safe). Are you using Amon RA or Clockwork, by the way? The only other thing I can think of would be that your SD card isn't formatted properly, but that would have to mean you intentionally formatted it or put in a new one that didn't have the right files on it.

i am using clockwork. i've wiped so many times... but i can't make anything happen. and, i did format the sd card eventually, but not until a couple of hours ago... and only as a last resort because nothing else worked and i've been trying to fix this since last night, so i figured it couldn't hurt. but if that is part of the problem... how can i fix it? thanks for your response. i don't know what else to do other than take it in for a switch.l but if i can get into hboot... then sprint can too... and they will see that i'm rooted and void warranty. so am i completely screwed?

I had same issue.
I just reflashed the sprintlover rom (PC36IMG.ZIP) which came with Amon_RA recovery.
Then i installed the CM6 with Amon_RA recovery and everything works fine now.
Good that i did Titanium backup few days before

This is happening to me too. Almost everything he's describing is the same. Except I installed a gapps.zip and then it wouldn't boot after that. No matter what I flash, it either gives me a status 7 error and aborts the install or it may "install successfully" but it never boots. Also tried the pc36img.zip as well. I had a nandroid backup and tried to restore that, but that aborts saying cannot flash boot image. Tried a rooted and also an unrooted stock ruu, they won't work and the .exe version on a pc can't find my phone when I plug it in and power it on. Anyone have any Ideas for me. I can get more specific error messages and hboot numbers, etc. if needed.

I think you should get Amon recovery PCIMG zip file and change recovries and try everything again... IMO
Edit: I posted the Amon file and all you have to do is rename it to PCIMG.zip. Also I think the gapps you were looking for you can find on the cm site itself or within that thread. Sorry if it sounds like I a being negative but I see alot of people get on noob and I wondered why but unfortunately its because things like this happen. In the OP for CM6 it says to use Amon and backup your keys. Now if you get your phone backup you got to first check and make sure your RSA keys are in tact unless you backed them up already.
Joeykrim has a app on the market to check or there are numerous threads on what to do. Sorry and hope it works out for you if not INS is your friend

Yea but have you tried Amon and from what I read and this is from developers Amon has a much better handle on things as far as backing stuff up, partitions and protection of keys.
I ran Clockwork on my wifes phone because to me its simple and works with Rom manager but after a while I just said F it and switched since it was messing up my backups. Hey to each his own..

Ok, I don't believe that your device is bricked. You may have flash the wrong gapps or something, but is should be easy to fix.
First, download these 3 files and put them on the root of your SD card:
Cyanogen 6 stable for evo
Latest gapps for HDPI
Calkulin's format all
Red through first, then follow my instructions EXACTLY:
1.) Boot into recovery.
2.) Flash Calkulin's all format. This will wipe everything that needs wiping. (everything but the SD card)
3.) Without exiting recovery immediately flash the CM6 .zip. Do not flash the gapps yet.
4.) Reboot the device now. It will boot into cyanogen, but will not have market or anything. Once fully booted, reboot to recovery.
5.) Do not wipe or anything, just flash the gapps HDPI.
6.) Boot the phone and enjoy.

Evo won't load any roms, can only get into clockwork recovery
Okay, so if I try your steps, just like before The install gets almost to the end, then I get:
"assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.1.2-supersonic-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Sorry Playya, I wanted to try this one more time first. I'm going to try loading Amon Ra now. do I need to rename it to pcimg.zip or should i just flash the current file name?
In case it helps anyone, I have

it may say oops if you battery level is low... I think Amon is so much better its just that Unrevoked puts Clockwork in with their root so people get lazy and leave it in... Amon - its the way to go.
1. Charge your battery and try again
2. Backup your wimax keys - then check how big the file is and hopefully its like 12 megs... If so keys may be ok

Problem with root

Alright so a while back I used unrevoked on my wifes incredible and it worked just fine. she updated it recently so today I went to reroot and prep to install a new rom. Problem is it failed to get root with the newest unrevoked. Ti backup fails to get root yet mybackup gets it and so does rom manager. I'm trying to get into clockwork through the hboot menu. Maybe I'm doing something wrong by going through there..i tried to backup with cwm through rom manager and it worked (didn't till i flashed the latest recovery but still) but I'd still like to get into cwm for myself not rely on rom manager. I've yet to try to reboot into recovery that way or restore the backup I made as I am at work but regardless..any ideas? I know when things are being ridiculous with the fascinate I can just odin and go from there..is there something along those lines for the dinc? If not what should I do to root the thing..get clockwork again..and flash the new rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
Thanks!

I can get to HBOOT but from there all i can do is reboot or fast boot, I havent done the factory reset yet but i intend to try. But from hboot I want to get into cwm, or do i get into cwm recovery a different way?
Mind you I havent tried to get into it since flashing the newest cwm through rom manager (or that I remember trying or not..been a hectic past week..im losing my damn mind, grandmother passed away in Anaheim, etc, etc)
also im going to reroot and do a completely different rom, it is stock minus wonky root and launcher pro. I finally convinced the wife to let me modify it.

Ifu don't see recovery option in any hboot option. Like there's no clockwork u should by able to flash clockwork and then a Rom.ican pm you.but if unroot is your objective goto Android dev stickies there's a thread.
sent from dinc

thats the thing, I see the recovery option, but everytime I select it, it tried to find a multitude of images, says file doesnt exist on all of them (4 or 5 of them I believe) and sends me back to the main hboot screen.
Suppose that information would have been useful. Again, hectic week lol

use say u have rom manager?

yes, im wondering if I need a stock recovery image since it isnt finding the PBwhaterver.img Any idea where I can get that?
Also probably helpful, I had used unrevoked forever a while back. Im thinking I need to undo those changes and just retry everything.
Thoughts?
Edit: Downloaded a new clockwork recovery image from unrevoked forever wiki, gonna throw it on the SD card and see what happens. HOPEFULLY that will let me into cwr, if not, how do I just put everything back to stock so I can start over?

try that file. get rid of the mlti part should sayPB31IMG. also make sure no other files of the same name are on root of sd.should say update vol up yes wait reboot no see ifu got recovery got newr versions too. also new urevoked have versions without clockwork u prolly used tht one. easy fix tho

alright, gonna give it a shot when I get home in the morning. Wish me luck.

Alright flashing with rom manager and selecting reboot into recovery from there worked just fine. we are in business for now anyways lol.

[Q] Bad first time experience trying to root HTC EVO 4G

So I tried to root my EVO last night, and i stayed up til 2am doing so. I finally got it rooted and then tried to apply a theme on my phone. But, i think it was a theme for a diff. phone. I dont kno if that matters, but i dont think i applied the correct .zip file. That **** totally ****ed my phone in the ass and now it WILL NOT load past the white screen when I first turn my phone on; The "HTC EVO 4G" screen. I tried to go into BOOTLOADER, go to RECOVERY and recover my "stock ROM", by the way, FAIL..!! It didnt work and now i have no EVO. Is there anything i could possibly do to my phone to get it working back to normal. I already ordered a new phone but i figured since i'll be stuck with a piece of ****, then i might as well experiment with it. ANY SUGGESTIONS ANYBODY..??!!

You can go into the bootloader and then select clear storage, which performs a factory reset on the phone. Or try reflashing the rom again, making sure its for the evo.

Can you succesfully boot into your bootloader screen?

Damn, you already ordered a new phone?! Evo's are hard to brick. If you can still get to your bootloader, you're not bricked. What happens when you select recovery? Do you boot into recovery, or does it hang? If you're lucky enough to still get into recovery, then you probably just need to reflash a rom, any rom. If you don't have recovery, but can get to the bootloader, and have s-off, then you just need to reflash a recovery. You can do that from the bootloader, (providing you are indeed s off). Load a PC36IMG of Amon Ra's recovery to the main directory of your sd card. You'll need to take your sd card out, and put it in a different phone or in a card reader in order to transfer the file. Once it's on the main directory of your sd card, and you're positive that it's named exactly PC36IMG, put the card back in your phone. Boot to the bootloader, at this point it should scan and ask you to update. Select volume up to choose yes. That'll flash Amon Ra recovery V2.3. Once that finishes, select 'recovery' from the bootloader. That should boot you to Amon Ra. From that point, you can flash a rom using the recovery. You'd just need to load a rom to the sd card, if you don't have one on there already. Hope that helps.
And if you're bootloader is not S off, and shows S on, don't do any of the above. At that point, you'd want to run an RUU or flash a PC36IMG of a stock rom, (same directions as flashing the PC36IMG from above). That will flash you back to stock, unrooted. At that point, you could try rooting again if you want to. FInd RUU's here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu

Okay. You said you did what I suggested before, but what part? Did you get the amon RA recovery installed, or did you run the RUU. If you got the recovery installed, and you're s off, then you just need to flash a rom. Go to the development section and pick one out, download it, and put it on the main directory of your SD card. Then boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. select flash zip from SD card, and then choose the rom that you put on the card. Let it flash. When its done, reboot the phone. If we aren't on the same page, let me know. I'm on the road right now, so I'm sorry if delayed. Teh roxx will take care of ya.

it sounds like he has a recovery installed if he managed to flash a theme. someone just link him to a PC36IMG of a rom and have him do it that way... i think this guy MIGHT even be able to figure that out

There's no need for negative sarcasm. We all start somewhere, and a good foundation is the start.

1. Go > http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic download the latest nightly
2. Go > http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ ; download the latest google apps
3. Place both files on sdcard
4. Boot into recovery, then from the main clockwork menu, wipe factory/data, cache, then scroll down to advanced, the wipe the dalvik cache, press return/go back
5. Go into install zip, choose zip, first install the cm7 nightly 30 rom, wait for it to install, click go back.
6. From the main menu, wipe your cache, then dalvik cache from the advanced menu, go back
7. Go back to install zip, choose zip, now install the gapps [google apps], let it install, then go back
8. Reboot the phone and you should be good to go.

[Q] Back to Gingerbread after going ICS?

If this has been asked before then please forgive me...
I can not go back to any backup I had of CM7 or Gingerbread Sense ROM since upgrading to some Alpha ICS roms. I've tried wiping everything & started from scratch on these roms but I always get stuck at "failed to write boot partition from /tmp/boot.img" It doesn't matter what Gingerbread ROM I choose with the exception of MIUI rom (don't know why). I thought maybe I could use that as a stepping stone to go back from there but nogo. I've used RA's recovery & CWM with no success. Any ideas?

I can say with certainty that I don't have this problem. I've flashed every ROM from here to Timbuktu, AOKP, Deck's, Evervolv, and have had no problem restoring a nandroid of, or flashing MikG, Mik3D, MikRunny, The Express, or any other ROM I may have forgotten.
That boot partition error doesn't sound good, though. What HBOOT version do you use?

No reason to upgrade - just wondering.
I'd recommend you flash a stock ROM in the bootloader - that should normalize everything, and then try those other ROMs again.

In the first "My Links" link in my sig, there are 3 of them.
They're PC36IMG files - you rename the file to exactly that - PC36IMG.zip - and put the file on the root of your sd card. Then you reboot your device into bootloader (HBOOT) mode. From a powered off state, hold the Volume down button and then press and hold the power button until you see the HBOOT screen. The file should be recognized and loaded, and after a minute or so it will ask you to update. Press Volume Up to accept, and then wait for a while.
NOTE: This will upgrade your HBOOT, but that's no big deal. The phone will reboot into the bootloader once near the beginning of the process by itself - that is also okay. Don't touch anything while it's updating.
At the end of the process, you'll need to find a PC36IMG for your preferred recovery (RA-supersonic-v2.3 recommended), which you will flash the same way as the ROM (in fact, you can replace the ROM file with the recovery file - unless you want to hold on to it, then you can just move or rename it).

Failed on #4 Boot.... it stated "failed - PU" "Partition failed" Fun times.... Now the phone is a brick (stuck at the white screen).... Where there is a will then there is a way so I'll find a way.... any help would be appreciated though....

Sooo... I was able to flash back my alternate recovery using a PC36IMG version of it. Thank god for the rooted community.... Restoring back my last backup. Funny though, that I still could not restore a rooted stock backup I had or a new upgraded .zip that I wanted to use. Common denominator in all this (even when trying to use the 4.24.651.1 version of the stock software PC36IMG), it can not write the boot.img Any one else had this problem? Next I will try to RUU which will technically make me lose root but I should be able to get it back, assuming I'm successful, since I still have S-OFF.
PS: My HBOOT now, btw, is 2.16.0001 so I know that the original attempt to get back to gingerbread was succesful
