I have recently rooted my Desire using the GoldCard/Tiny Core Linux CD method and then I installed ROM Manager.
I have used the ROM Manager to flash the ClockworkMod recovery and I can enter the Clockworkmod recovery by using the 'Reboot into recovery' button inside ROM Manager.
However, before trying any new ROMs out I want to make sure I can get into ClockworkMod recovery outside of the ROM Manager but I can't!
When I turn my phone on whilst pressing VolDown I get to the original HTC HBOOT screen. If I then go and select the 'RECOVERY' option I end up at a 'red exclamation mark inside triangle' screen.
Can anyone help me work out what is wrong, please?
TIA
Once you are in the black screen with the red triangle and exclamation mark you have to push volume up and power. Then you should get a blue menu that the second line says something like "flash update.zip". You push volume down to select it and power.
Now you should be loading Clockwork Mod Recovery.
you have not really "flashed" clockwork as a permanent recovery
press vol up + power when at the red triangle screen
then in the standard recovery, choose the option to flash update.zip
[edit] too slow
If you press power and vol up when on the red exclamation mark screen, it should give you a menu.
Press flash update.zip and clockworkmod should load.

Can you not use unrevoked to make it perminant?
Thats what I did when I rooted on Wednesday
Or can only certain phones do this?
Thanks for all the quick replies!
I have got it now - I didn't realise that I wasn't set up for the ClockworkMod recovery permanently.
When I get to the blue menu I also see a message:
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Should I be concerned?

Sorry, but was that a 'no' to Lennyuk, post#5 or me, post#6?
sorry, that was a reply to your question, there's no need to be concerned
also @ lenny, yes the desire can flash a permanent recovery (amonra or clockwork) with unrevoked
i have amon ra flashed to the phone, but i can still use clockwork if needed by flashing the update.zip i keep in the root of my sdcard or using rom manager
Thanks, appreciated.

brrillliant post brother........really sorted my problem out........thanks a lot..mmwwaaaahhh....reaaalllly i thought i bricked it but ur a gem...
Hello everyone.
I am very sorry to rise this topic but I have a problem.
My Desire HD is rooted via VisioNARY, I have ROM Manager and latest Clockwork Mod
The problem is I cannot enter the Clockwork mod. The phone stops on a red triangle and an exclamation mark, I press volume up and power, bring up the menu, select update.zip and it says invalid operation and the phone restarts.
Please help.
Thanks
EDIT:
Solved with S-off.
CWM Recovery works fine now.
When trying to load the update.zip it aborts during the verification process saying: "signature verification failed. Installation aborted." (htc aria, s-off, rooted)
Hiya all,
Just got my new Desire and rooted it right away of course.
Used unrevoked and all went well. Installed Rom Manager and it said I needed to install clockwork (even though it had already been installed by unrevoked) so I agreed.
Now when I run clockwork (2.5.0.7) it gives the following:
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
I am unable to backup or restore. Backing up says:
Error while dumping boot image!
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
Basically none of the commands in clockworkmod are working.
Next I tried using unrevoker to flash AmonRa but that just resulted in a black screen when I booted into recovery. So, once again, I used unrevoker and it reinstalled 2.5.0.7 with the same errors.
I have also tried using Rom Manger to download older versions of clockwork however, when I flash these using recovery it shows them as having installed at the time but, on reeboot, it switches back to 2.5.0.7 so the flash isn't working. The same applies if trying to change it in Rom Manager - it shows up as changed there, but is not on booting recovery.
Any help would be extremely gratefully received as I have been messing about with this most of the afternoon and I don't really know where to go next.
How about just using the phone first and see how it runs before jumping into rooting - I'd also recommend checking there is an RUU of your existing ROM so you can go back to stock should you need to
What is it with people rooting before even USING the phone??? Seriously...

How are you entering Recovery, via Rom-Manager? If so, it might be trying to load fake-flash.
What happens if you try and load using the bootloader (power off, hold back and press power).

Same thing I'm afraid. Same errors and the same inability to overwrite the recovery image with a different version.

I would go back to stock firmware and "re-unrevoked" it again and go from there.
I think Rom-Manager still installs fake-flash, and since unrevoked installs a permanent recovery, you don't really need to use it.
ROM Manager is a PITA - never used it as I prefer to do things myself from recovery. You get a lot more control over things

There are FAR too many people who come on and are like
"So I just got my new phone from the shop and have rooted it and S-OFF - I'm so cool, look at me!!"
And they have NO idea what they've done or why. Your first post mentioned nothing of being a developer nor that you'd used the phone before. What does the phone not do that you need to root or are you rooting for the sake of rooting??
People don't think enough and just follow others like sheep
Baaaaaa..... lol!!

So it seems, and that's what I'm used to doing on my old G1.
Part of the issue here is that even in recovery, when booting directly to it, clockwork is not working correctly and is also not allowing me to flash over it. Worse than that though is that when I flash a different recovery on using unrevoker the phone black screens when booting into recovery.
Anyhoo ... unless anyone else has any brilliant ideas I guess I will reset it to stock tomorrow and try again.
I think the easiest thing to do is go back to stock and start afresh.
Also if you want to change recoveries often you should maybe look into AlphaRev (www.alpharev.nl) and get an S-Off HBOOT.
Do you have an AMOLED or an SLCD Desire?
Sent from my Amiga 500 using Workbench
same problem here, recovery doesn't work properly. Any ideas?
EDIT: I guess I should provide some details ;-)
I have a rather new (3 weeks old) SLCD Desire with a Vodafone branding on it.
Unrevoked 3.21 didn't work, so I had to use the older version which doesn't check the misc partition for the correct version.
Now rooting went fine, but if I try to boot into recovery, it can't mount any of the flash partitions (except for the sdcard), instead it shows the same error messages the OP got.
EDIT2: Got it fixed. The default recovery seems to be broken, everything worked after flashing the RA-desire-v2.0.0 Recovery.
Did find any solution to this problem plzzzzzzzzzzz help me
I should 1)backup? 2)s-off? 3)flash using the RA-desire-v2.0.0 Recovery?
then after that i shouldn't receive "E:Can't find MISC: ... "?
I'd like to know how to solve this problem too... It's pretty annoying not to able to flash or at least backup a ROM. How did you get it work ?
This works for me . . . .
I had exactly the same problem and had to install clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 in order to be able to create a nandroid backup.
Search the desire development thread for the latest clockworkmod, download the .img version and reflash the phone using unrevoked but before you start, go into unrevoked settings and tell it to use the .img you downloaded instead of the standard one. 3.0.0.5 will then be your standard recovery and will let you backup/flash etc.
Also,
Keep ROM Manager installed, because although It's generally **** and I'd never use it if I didn't have to, it has one use . .
Sometimes, you may try to flash a zip in Clockworkmod (CWM) 3.0.0.5 and it will tell you it can't flash it due to some edify scripting issue (or something like that!!)
As rare as it is, if this happens, reboot to android, run ROM Manager and ask it to install recovery. When it's done, ask it to reboot to recovery and it will install CWM 2.5.0.7 then boot into it, which will let you flash the zip which you couldn't flash before. Awesome!
The good thing is, once you leave recovery, 2.5.0.7 is gone and next time to reboot to recovery (not using ROM Manager) you will be back to 3.0.0.5.
Double awesome!!
What I've advised in the last 2 posts works well for me and has done for months, so hopefully it will work for you too.
Don't use ROM Manager for anything other than this though, cos apart from this it is rubbish!!
Hope this helps

Hi,
I used Unrevoked with the latest Clockwork recovery. Unfortunately, I got this error message : "Error, failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?"
I think I must reset the phone though I don't want to... That'll do like I did the 1st time.
That sucks !
Here's a few suggestions for those who get "Error, failed to get root. Is your firmware too new ?"

Hi!
i've got a big problem with my HTC Desire Device. I flashed Ginger Villain 0.6 (or so) some days/weeks ago and updated to 0.8 some days ago but forgot to wipe data&cache. Today I tried to start the clockworkmod recoverysystem to restore my nandroid backup from Ginger Villain 0.6 (because of a note stored in "note everything" which wasn't working anymore after the update to Ginger Villain 0.8.
When i try to start the recovery system, i only get a red exclamation picture. I did a factory reset and then ROM Manager was gone and I wasn't able to reinstall it through market. I managed to install ROM Manager trough a manually downloaded .apk file. When I start the ROM Manager and install the Recovery system, everything goes fine but (i choose my device, get the message that ROM Manager where granted root priviliges) but when i try again to start into the recovery system i get the red exclamation mark again. I also tried to run unrevoked3 again, it pushes the recovery system and then it says that it cant get root (firmware too new?) anyway i have root privileges, it seems that error message doesn't matter.
any advice?
thank you
do you have s-off, you could try reflashing the clockworkmod recovery from fastboot
someone else reported clockworkmod just randomly dissapeering and it was the same rom too :/
hope theres not a bug
if you dont have s-off then the only thing i think you can do is reinstall an RUU, Re-root it and then restore the nandroid
Thanks for your reply. Whats s-off? How do i reflash the ruu? With the original exe from htc website?
just realised something, you mention rom manager quite alot
have you tried accessing recovery via hboot?
voldown+power then select recovery via volume rocker and select with power button.
what version of hboot are you on? did you use unrevoked to root the device or an older method?
Yes i tried accessing recovery via hboot, its v 0.80 i think. I rooted my device with an older method than unrevoked, but i dont remember how
I verified my hboot version: 0.80
ahh ok this makes sense now
you used fake flash to get to recovery
your latest rom does not like fake flash boot from rom manager ive seen this before)
so basically you need to do the following
download this file
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5684959/stuff/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip
rename it to update.zip
place it on the root of your sdcard
boot to recovery using voldown + power (then select recovery with vol down and press power)
when you get to the screen with the exclamation hold vol up and press power.
you will be greeted with the blue engineering recovery
select apply update.zip and it should take you to clockwork mod where you can restor/backup what you need
you problem is that rom manager doesnt like the new build and because youve not used the original root method for so long you have forgotten
you can find someone with the same problem here

Hi! That sounds very good but i haven't had time yet to try these steps, i'll report back soon.
Hi guys i hope that someone can help me!
I have a problem with ClockworkMod 3.2.0.0 because when I go into recovery from hboot ClockworkMod opens but when I select "install zip from sd card" only the background remains with the hat and I do not select the files in the sd.
Even when I select "power down" the phone is switched on and still remains on the screen with the hat.
How about pressing power button when on the hat icon and then pressing trackpad . Try them and you will know.

Hello guys!
I have exactly the opposite problem.
I rooted and s-off my phone following these instructions:
baert.ulyssis.be/ 2010/ 10/ 13/ wildpuzzle-rom-for-htc-wildfire/
(sorry for spaces, but the forum doesn't allow me to psot the link otherwise).
Then I installed SuperUser and then ROM Manager, in order to flash a new ROM. Then ROM-Manager "told" that my CWM Recovery 3.0.0.6 was incompatible or something like that and it should automatically download and flash Recovery 2.5.0.7. I allowed it to download the new Recovery and proceeded with installing my ROM (WildPuzzleROM_2.2.1 v0.8) successfully.
Every time I needed to access Recovery 2.5.0.7, I just open ROM-Manager and chose "Reboot into Recovery", and it always rebooted into Recovery 2.5.0.7. But today I tried to access Recovery by rebooting and holding down volume button. And it loaded Recovery 3.0.0.6. I turned off the phone, re-opened it, went to ROM-Manager and chose again "Reboot into Recovery" and it loaded Recovery 2.5.0.7.
So apparently my phone has two versions of Recovery. It loads version 3.0.0.6 when I reboot with the volume button and it loads version 2.5.0.7 through ROM-Manager. And I need ONLY Recovery 2.5.0.7, because the other version crashes (error message: "Amend Scripting is deprecated by Google in Cupcake...etc etc") every time I tried to flash new ROMs and I read somewhere in the forums that this happens because of the 3.x version of Recovery.
So here comes my question: How do I remove Recovery 3.0.0.6 and keep ONLY 2.5.0.7 ?
Thank you all very much, beforehand!
You can do so by using fastboot to manualy flash the old recovery using the command "fastboot flash recovery <path to recovery>recovery.img". If you do not now how to use fastboot, you have to search the forum a bit (can't give you any links as I'm using the xda app).
But for your problem: it is all normal. ROM Manager launches indeed some kind of temporary recovery, which is stored on your sdcard.
But you better rethink about downgrading your recovery: there is a reason why people we are now on v4 of clockworkmod some bugs are fixed (for example, now you can charge your phone when its off - isn't possible with any version of CWM lower then v3) and the menu is better, with more and handy options. The only reason why we keep using the old CWM is because of its ability to flash "old" zipfiles.
So in my opion, it is not worthet to downgrade CWM. You gain much more with the new one, and it is really no effort to flash your "old" zip files with the use of ROM Manager.

Obviously you were right on the part that I should actually upgrade my CWM Recovery instead of downgrading it. And the main reason for this, proved to be that my former version had a charging bug. If I charged the phone while switched off, it wouldn't switch on, unless I removed the battery.
Anyway, I followed your advise and flashed Clockwork 4.0.1.4.110720. But the charging problem was still there, so I tried several versions of CWM, till I finally found that for my case Clockworkmod Recovery v3.2.0.0 was the best option.

Sounds like you probably aren't rooted but you also should try using unrevoked 3.22 rather than 3.32. Below is a section from a guide I posted for rooting your inc.(that is if you were unable to flash recovery.img) hope it helps

Step 2: Flash Clockwork Recovery to your phone
You now need to download a few more files and place them somewhere that will be easy to find.
Unrevoked 3.22 from Mediafire – NOTE: if this link ever becomes broken, you must use version 3.22, 3.32 will NOT work.
Clockwork 5.0.2.0 from PvilleComp.com – make sure you use clockwork 5.0.2.0 with md5: e8ac35ddc1c37000bb0852d1f380b5bb
Next, run unrevoked 3.22, as an administrator if you can. And click file>Custom Recovery… and select the .img file which is inside the Clockwork 5.0.2.0 .zip that you downloaded, you may need to extract the folder first.
Next you can plug in your phone and select charge only and then go to Settings>Applications>development> and enable debugging.
Unrevoked should now recognize your phone and bring up a warning dialogue. Click ok and Unrevoked will run and flash Clockwork 5.0.2.0 to your phone. Do not touch your phone until you see a terminal-like screen on your phone in all blue text on a black background.
you can navigate clockwork using the scroll button at the bottom of your droid incredible to navigate and center-click for “enter”.

Hi guys,
I'm really new to the HTC Incredible..coming from the Motorola Photon.....finally rooted, downgraded, and installed CWM, but I still get the black screen when selecting options, ie., advanced, backup and restore...tried using ROM Manager and was able to do a back up..I'm a little confused here. Which is the working version of CWM? Thanks so much in advance!

Double check that's your version of CWM, which should work. Your symptoms are standard for an older version of CWM on a SLCD screen. To be safe, go into ROM Manager, advanced options, and check erase recovery. Then reflash CWM 5.0.2.0.
Thanks for the suggestion..it didn't work. I flashed older CWMs and AmonRa but I still get the black screen with CWM logo. Thinking of:
- Fastboot erase recovery
- push recovery image
- then reflash CWM through ROM Manager?
Thoughts? Thanks again for the help!
K
Wait, black screen with CWM logo? That means you're in it, but pressed the power button at the main menu. Try pressing the power button once to get out of that when you see the logo.
Yeah..It seems like I can't select the options in the menu though I can toggle through. Its weird...even flashing the other cwm versions does the same thing.
SOLVED: Didn't realize you were supposed to use the trackpad to select..I kept pressing power...(that's how it is done on MoPho). Thanks for your help!
