hey everyone,
So i just rooted my phone using the wiki cyanogen mod, and everything worked great... afterwards I downloaded rom manager and used this method here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Radio_and_CyanogenMod
Method via ROM Manager
Launch RomManager.
Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.
Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.
Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.
Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps* option.
Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.
If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.
The HTC Vision will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.
----------
After this the phone rebooted and now it's been stuck on the white htc screen... I'm completely clueless on what to do now.. any help would be great thank you guys
So did you flash a 5.x.x.x recovery from ROM manager? People are having issues with this.
Pull the battery and try booting up again. If this happened on your first attempt (aka it hasnt actually wiped or anything) just go back to your ROM, and flash a previous CWM recovery. 3.0.2.4 works. THEN try to do the process.
All ROM manager is doing here is automating a process you can do yourself. I'm assuming what happened is you're having a problem with the new recovery when it reboots to go to the recovery, it hangs on HTC screen. ROM manager and CWM haven't even had a chance to do anything yet.
Another option is to pull the battery and boot with vol. down + power, then enter recovery. See if it enters. If it does, then you can reboot and run the install from ROM manager and it should work this time. You could also do it manually at that point if you wanted.
For me (and many others) when using a 5.x.x.x CWM recovery, the first boot always hangs at the HTC logo, and after a battery pull and a 2nd attempt to boot into recovery, it works.
if i was at your position and cwm is installed, by look at your post it is installed.
i pull battery out and put it back in. turn on your phone whilst holding volume down.
it will scan for pc10img if there's any dont install it...
then there should be an option for recovery, use the volume rocker to navigate gate and your on button to select.
your phone will restart and hopefully load cwm manager.
if you've got there then you can wipe data and cache then install a different ROM or another cyanmod rom.
thank you guys for all the help! it was much needed, I have successfully rooted my phone and I have cyanmod 7, i'm so glad i didn't brick my phone hahah
Gratulations

Currently running cwm 3.0.0.8 and CM7 rc1 I believe.
I CAN get into the rom, and everything else on the phone works. However....
I cannot get into recovery in any way. Not by using rom manager, not by holding down the power button and selecting restart into recovery, not by shutting down the phone and rebooting while holding volume down. I get stuck on the splash screen indefinitely every time.
Any suggestions?
Do I need to use an older version of cwm?
I would really like to have recovery back...
Any help appreciated.
Edit: Found a solution. Just had to flash an older version of CWM then flash back to the new version. Sorry for the extra unnecessary thread.
Try to install a new recovery through ROM Manager.
this happens to me whenever I downgrade the CWM from 3008 to 3007, i can never go straight into recovery thatway. I usually flash the recovery from RM twice, and reboot. Then flash into recovery and it generally works.
Don't know why it happens...just does.
good luck!
earlier, i managed to brick my defy by first deleting google talk and then using terminal emulator to push the google talk back in system apps.
after flashing a stock sbf through rsdlite, i got my phone working again. my problem started when i flashed another rom (followed instructions from pay's rom tutorial). i was able to flash the sbf file, then root using superoneclick, then install clockwork mod (downloaded the apk and installed manually). i rebooted after cmw install just to be sure and when rebooting to cm recovery only a blank screen shows. i was puzzled as on m original 2.51 rom before, the clockworkmod recovery screen shows up when i reboot in recovery. i tried installing other stock roms (nordic froyo), the problem still persists (blank screen). it also seems to have affected the standard recovery (volume down+power), after showing the exclamation mark with the android guy, no matter where i press on the screen nothing happens, whereas before pressing on the lower right hand screen brings up the menu. what did i screw up this time?
i needed cm recovery to work for i can't flash custom roms without it. any help would be much appreciated. thanks
I had the same problem with clockworkmod so I installed the 2nd init recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212 and used clockwork mod from its recovery menu.
I think the problem was caused by installing clockwork mod with USB debugging enabled.

so should i try uninstalling clockworkmod and install again? this time un-enabled usb debugging?
what exactly is a 2nd init recovery?do i just flash this over the existing sbf?
sorry for the questions, am still a newbie when flashing defy.
to access stock recovery when the android appears press vol down + up at the same time, my touch screen didnt work in recovery before either
once you can access stock recovery wipe data/factory reset, and flash a new ROM fresh
I am running Rom Manager Premium v4.3.2.4 cw recovery 3.0.0.8. ROM Manager does not see any updates for cm anymore and if I manually download it and try to install it all it does is boot to hboot, and does not install. Any suggestions would be grateful!!
I haven't used Cyanogenmod in months btw but I'll try helping out. Let me get this straight, have you ever been able to successfully flash and use any CyanogenMod 7.x nightlies? If not, make sure you have hboot .92 and latest Rom Manager/ClockWorkMod.
What is your wipe/install process? I have always used recovery to flash a rom (AOSP and Sense alike), always has worked fine in my experience. Have you followed the CM install directions (directly copied from CM7 Nightlies Progress 7.1 thread)
1) Download ROM with Rom Manager Premium.
2) Do not install with Rom Manager
3) Reboot into recovery.
4) Make a backup/nandroid (to be safe)
5) Wipe Cache
6) Wipe Dalvik
7) Install Zip from SDCard
8) Nightly at /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirror.teamdouche.net/get/inc/
9) /Gapps at sdcard/clockworkmod/download/goo-inside.me/google-apps/
10) Reboot
11) Enjoy
You should only be in hboot while installing when doing the following:
-turn your phone off
-hold power button & vol down
-boot into hboot
-Vol down to select then boot into Recovery
The way I read it, he was trying to install from rom manager but it was just booting into hboot. I'm not sure why it would do that instead of booting into recovery though. Like the above poster said, I'd install the rom manually. As for the rom manager problems, maybe try downgrading to a previous working version or contact the dev (koush) if the problem persists and there isn't another solution. I don't use rom manager so I'm not much help, sorry.
Sorry for the slow response but I was out of town for the weekend.
I have been able previously to update nightly's using rom manager.
Since getting home I downloaded latest nightly, rebooted into hboot, then to recovery attempted to do a nandroid but it hung, hit power button to go back to menu, tried to update from zip but hung again. The only option that it does not hang on is power off.
I have searched market for clockwork but only rom manager comes up, is there another way to reinstall clockwork recovery?
I have resolved this issue, I uninstalled ROM Manager, re-installed it, changed cw recovery to older version, re-flashed latest, and was able to install latest nightly.
Thanks for the help SlimSnoopOS and k_nivesout.
Glad you got it worked out. You can also download recoveries from www.dougpiston.com, they're PB31IMG.zip files that are flashed in hboot.

Hi all...
Phone = Droid A855
Rooted = Yes, with "SuperOneClick"
ROM Manager v4.8.0.1
Clockworkmod v2.5.0.1
Phone was first rooted two weeks ago and phone was fully up to date at that time.
Problem:
Clockworkmod Recovery doesn't stay after I flash it and reverts back to the default factory Recovery.
Basically, I can use rom manager to download/flash clockwork mod and then I must use "reboot into recovery" for me to use the clockwork mod. this is my only chance to use it. If I restart again the factory recovery is back and what's stranger is that if I allow the phone to load and go into ROM manager, that app reports that I have the clockwork mod flashed.... If I use "reboot into recovery" OR if I do a manual shutdown and use the hold "X" method then I'm back into the factory recovery.
I can only use clockworkmod once and I must boot into shortly after the flash... if I wait too long to reboot, I've found that at some unknown time the factory recovery is once again placed on the phone.
Thank you for any help or tips on this,
TK.
No ideas?.... is there a better place to post about this?
Hello there, I'm a bit new to this, but I wanted to try flashing a custom rom. I was using So I chose Carbonn 4.4.4 rom. Prior to that I installed doomslord CMW recovery 6.0.30 and did a backup of my Rom. Then I booted into recovery, wiped the data and flashed the carbonn Rom. Everything went fine, then I realized I hadn't flashed the gapps. So I rebooted my phone into recovery (Pressing the volume up button at the 'sony' logo). However it doesn't boot into recovery. The led light turns blue and it's stuck on the Sony logo. The only way to get out of it is the power down the device manually by pressing the power button and volume up button.
Rebooting into recovery only causes this problem. Otherwise it boots normally into the carbon Rom. How do I restore my backup? Since I can't boot into recovery?

The latest Carbon ROM has recovery which doesn't work on Our phone. Follow the procedure here to flash a working recovery.
Tried that but cant seem to work. Besides it requires busy box to be installed which I cant seem to install. Any apk for that matter cant be installed. It shows "Cant open file"

if You are on latest version of carbon, You wouldn't need to root as the ROM is pre rooted. Are You sure Your apk file are good? Because in any case, You must be able to install at least an apk file. Did You try messing with the ROM before?
