[Q] Rom Manager/Clockworkmod version problems

Greetings XDA-guys!
First of all, thanks for all the useful work to tweak Android and support!
I got a few Problems with Rom Manager, no idea left to handle it.
What I've done so far:
Device is rooted, ENG-OFF and HBOOT.
I Installed Rom Manager from Market and flashed 2.5.1.3 of Clockworkmod via fastboot utility.
Clockwork mod was correctly working and shows up in Rom Manager also.
I partitioned the SD via Rom Manager.
I installed Cyanogen 6.
I updated Clockwork to 3.0.0.5 (ace image) via fastboot tool.
I installed Cyanogen 7 (nightly) via Rom Manager.
Actual problems:
1) Rom Manager shows only Cyanogen Roms, nothing more. (Tested with Revolution HD, same problem). This problem persists any time.
2) Rom Manager still shows Clockworkmod 2.5.1.3, but 3.0.0.5 is definitly flashed. I can clearly boot into Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5.
I have really no more ideas left to figure out what happens with Rom Manager. If anyone of you have an idea, please _tell me_
Thanks in advance!

1. D'ont know
2. It's okay

1. until n unless you have ROM manager premium, it ll only show you the ROMs you have got.
2. Could be an issue with ROM manager itself.

1) Get Premium if you want to see other ROM's
2) Flash official 3.0.0.5 via ROM manager, just become available and problem is gone. it was due to no 3.0.0.5 officially available so it identified as latest .

i face the same br. while im flashing DHD Ar Rom before i do i already updated my rom manger to v 3.0.0.5 after that i try to flash the rom when everything done the DHD stuck on the whit htc screen .
the only thing that help me to resolve the br. is going back to recovery screen then doing full wipe even for sd then removing batt , back the batt aging and going back to recovery screen as usual pressing volume down with power after skiping fastboot screen i enter recovery screen mount storge card the in ur pc rename the rom that u want to flash it to PD98IMG.zip then send it to sd card and remove the cable and batt ,return back the batt.then turn the power on while pressing volume down to enter fast boot screen /the device will search and install the rom auto..
without any other steps.
i hope that help other who fill down with the new update for rom mang.
sorry for my very bad english

Are You using a Gold Card? Are you rooted?

To make a Gold Card;
http://www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-how-to-create-a-gold-card
The gold card, allows you to install unsigned ROMs in the beginning, a must for Desire owners. After that;
Then root your phone;
Then flash a custom ROM.

Seriously, were past the stage of 50 billion processes.

I think, remove goldcard, insert blank sd, download latest oxygen to root of this sd, wipe everything in cwm, flash rom.
Hope that works, its the process I followed!

Will try out that one one sir, thank you!

Flashed ROM on a non-goldcard sd and i still have the same problem.

Already tried on Oxygen, Leedroid, SupeRomHD and RCMixS. With or without goldcard. Hboot 0.93 on Stock 2.2 ROM with S-ON.
Please help

You're desire isn't PVT4 by any chance is it?
If so I know there are problems using clockwork, and I wonder if that's contributing?

Sir,
It is a PVT4. I was able to solve it by doing S-OFF
After which all my previous problems were solved - nandroid backup, modify my phone partitions and flash custom ROM.

Nevertheless it's really recommend to use amonra recovey instead of clockworkmod if you have a pvt4 desire (to avoid strange issues):

Another Status 7 error here.
I have a Desire with Oxygen 2.1.4 and when trying to update to 2.1.5, I got this error.
Reading through your posts and watching videos on YouTube, tried 2 methods of flashing Amon Ra over ClockworkMod to fix the Status 7 error:
1. With ClockworkMod Rom manager app, which grayed out the alternate recovery field in the app and did not allow, and
2. With the android emulator app which did not found the flash_image command
Is there an another SAFE way to flash Amon Ra Recovery 2.0.0 over ClockworkMod recovery?
Awaiting your much appreciated answer.

Unrevoked 3.21 and select custom recover img

Nothing. Flashed the Amon Ra recovery, cleared all cache, still nothing.
Back to ClockworkMod again.
Status 7 error on me like a nightmare
Have other suggestions?

Try this command...
fastboot oem eraseconfig

Use the fastboot commands to flash it, or the flasher app in ROM Development

Can you get into recovery? If so, you could try restoring nandroid and checking that the hboot file downloaded OK - if it came with an MD5 it's worth checking that - before giving it another go.
I've never used the flasher, just adb commands. Never had a problem flashing hboot tables.

Yea my own stupidity i guess. well im gonna pull the battery. lets see what
happens then.
edit : its ok regained control after unpluging usb. how do i know if it installed.
i am familiar with adb. how do i flash the cm7 hboot via that?

I also had problem with the flasher when I started in windows, then the phone just couldnt start or flash a new rom, but when I started the phone with backbottom ipressed and then started Android flasher all worked perfect.

Good news! To check your recovery you can either just boot into recovery and see what version you have, or remain booted and look in /sdcard/clockworkmod.settings (open as text file) to see the version number.
To flash hboots - check the instructions on the Alpharev site: www.alpharev.nl
EDIT: I found this post helpful as the instructions at alpharev are a little minimal at first sight. Obviously you are using the CM7 table not the Oxygen one!

Hi guys, I'm a little stuck/confused. When I boot my phone in Recovery Mode it says I'm running Clockwork Mod v2.5.0.1.
I installed a new version of ROM Manager (v3.0.1.0) flashed ClckworkMod Recovery and that says I have v 2.5.0.7 - so:
1. How do I ensure that the recovery mode is v 2.5.0.7
2. Do I need to unistall ROM Manager or,
3. Just leave it be?
System details:
Rooted HTC Desire
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband version 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
Kernel 2.6.32.36_rcmix_11032
Build number
RCMix HD v3.6.1 D2Ext Rotate
The numbers above don't mean much to me - I'm not a dev.
Thanks in advance.
*EDIT*
I've since downladed and installed the .zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640
It worked but ROM Manager still says the current recovery is version 2.5.0.7 although when I rebooted the writing was orange. I hope that makes sense to someone...

This is perfectly normal as 3.0.0.5 isn't an 'official'/final release yet.

Updgrading Clockwork mod

During the summer I rooted my phone and i have Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7 installed.
I am trying to upgrade to the latest version and it never seems to stick.
Using Rom manager. It says that im flashed to v5.0.2.0 yet when i boot to recovery from rom manager it loads to v2.5.0.7. Does the same thing if i choose to flash a rom though ROM MANAGER. each time v2XXX loads
So i fire up recover and try loading the zip. Bingo it works. The screen turns from green to blue and V5.0.2.0 is now there for me to use. But if i reboot and later return to recovery its back to the old V2xxxx..
Any ideas why this is happening? Is it really necessary to move on to the V5xxxx versions? I was going to try out some new roms and they failed to load yesterday through v2.5.0.7 yet the rom i had been using loaded fine.
Thanks in advance..

When you use Rom Manager to flash a rom or reboot into recovery from Rom Manager, it boots the recovery from a downloaded recovery file. It's known as fake flash or in other words, it's temporary. If you want a permanent recovery, you would need to flash a recovery.img through fastboot.

if your Desire is s-off, then ROM Manager flashes recovery normally.

rom manager now works only if u have s-off..no fake flash anymore is possible

revolutionary.io will upgrade cwm if you want

I think this thread answers one of my own questions but will ask it anyway to confirm; when I rooted my Desire (via Unrevoked) a few months back, the ROM Manager app that continues to be updated via the market offers the option to upgrade the version of CWM... is it OK to proceed with this?
I've been wary of upgrading from the version installed via the rooting process, just in case, but seeing this thread has made me think there isn't actually an issue with whatever version of recovery you have installed?

Out of curiosity - what roms you tried to load? As far as I know 2.5.0.7 was the last cwm supporting both amend and edify scripting and it never failed for me personally.

To upgrade recovery (or hboots) I always use Fastboot Commander and it's very easy to use and never let me down.

I agree. Unless you need to maintain an ext 4 partition (as 2.5.0.7 converts it to lower apparently when backing up) I see no reason to change from 2.5.0.7.
I use it even today. Best recovery IMHO.

[Q] Can't flash ROM after Revolutionary Method

I flashed my Desire with stock gingerbread but I found that it didn't support Arabic Language so I tried to root it again to downgrade to a froyo ROM by urevoked method but I found it didn't support the newer hboot version so I used the revolutionary method and made the S-OFF and Rooted My phone again now when I tried to flash stock rooted rom with a2sd it is tell me (signature verification failed then installation aborted) how that it came. I used that Rom many times before.
before I tried to install this rom I wiped delvaik cash and wipe data then I reset the factory setting and I repartioned the sd card with mini tool on Windows for fat 32 and Ext 2 and swap
what can I do Now?

disable signature verification in recovery
Also use gparted for partitioning the sd

I don't know what is gparted, Iwill search and do it then come with response.
when I made the revolutionary method from unlocker wepsite, and i used the tool on revolutionary wepsite but I didn't used any thing from Alpharev website but I finished the root and S-OFF. is there something missing.

If you're s-off then no, nothings missing. Why don't you try flashing a different recovery (look at my guide for help), and re-download the rom, and check the md5 matches before flashing. You shouldn't have a problem then.

I tried a differen't recovery as urevoked (clockworkmode and Amon RA) but nothing the boot loader page show me stil on revolutionary
I tried to flash RUU ROM rooted only without A2SD to avoid using the gparted. But same problem (installation aborted due to signature verification Failed)
I think the problem from I running Now on gingerbread and I tried to flash froyo ROM
please advise me if i flash RUU Froyo Rom without any root then try another recovery method. that will solve the problem. or I can't do that.
Note: I tried Android flasher many times and it didn't make anything

It has been solved. I used your troubleshooting guide to solve it.
