I am having a problem with the clockworld recovery when it comes to flashing themes,apps,and etc they won't install. When i hit confirm it just quickly disappears, i even had that trouble trying to flash a rom once. How do you go back to the recovery installed on the phone?[if that's possible]

First off you posted in the wrong section. This is development not Q&A. Second your question doesn't make sense. Your phone didn't come with a recovery image. You installed one when you rooted it. Most likely clockwork if you used unrevoked. If that's the case you can use rom manager to flash Amon_Ra's recovery. All this info is in the forum for those who do some research. If you don't have time to read up on this stuff then you probably shouldn't be flashing anything anyhow....

Actually, if you think that any Android phone doesn't have a recovery image on it stock, you should take your own advise Clockwork or Amon are an ALTERNATE recovery that you flash over the already existing Android recovery.

Ok.... You got me. I made the assumption that he was talking custom recovery since that's what's required to flash custom roms..... you're quite sharp.

I have an HTC Explorer and have installed CM 9 easily. Unlock bootloader through HTC , install custom CWM recovery using fastboot, then install CM 9 zip from sd card using CWM recovery. I have tried to do the same with my daughter's Wildfire. I get as far as installing a CWM recovery but it hangs at a "hat" icon when I try to use it. I have tried several CWM img files, including the one in the "cm49?" zip. None work. Is there a way for me to get a CWM recovery working? I don't want to go through all the s-off process, I don't think it is needed. My Explorer works great with s-on. I hope someone can help. I promised my daughter I would get ICS on her phone as her Christmas present.

If I'm not mistaken you have to flash the boot.img manually with S-ON so I think a S-Off'd device is much better and it isn't that hard to S-Off it. I don't know if the S-Off methods still work if you unlocked it before but they should.
Besides you haven't taken the CWM from Pico/Explorer and tried to install it on the Wildfire, have you?

Thanks for your reply. All the cwm img files I have used have come from this forum. I had high hopes for the one I extracted from "pc49img.zip" as it seemed to say it might work on another post. It installed like the other but doesn't work.

I got a question are you just unlocked or already rooted on the WF? I think you can't install CWM if you're not rooted. That would be nice to know. Otherwise you can may follow this guide

Just unlocked after following the procedure on "htcdev.com". With my Explorer you can root the phone with the aid of the CWM recovery you install after unlocking it. Maybe the CWM recoveries for Wildfire assume your phone is already rooted, but I don't know how to root it without having a working CWM recovery first.

Yeah you're right. I think the progress on S-ON should be like this:
-flash CWM
-flash superuser rights (thats how it worked on the HTC One X)
I found this:

Thanks for all your help miniAndroidian (the Nexus 4 should be awesome, (I am saving up, but they are not available in Australia at the moment. I told my daughter she should get one too, but she hasn't got the money either, so that's why I am working on the Wildfire)
Unfortunately the post you directed me to says you have to flash the CWM recovery from the stock recovery but I don't have that anymore as I have replaced it with the CWM recovery which just hangs. There must be a way round it, but I am no expert at all.

Same in Germany with the Nexus 4 but it should be avalible in the middle of january
Back to the topic:
You have to put the "update.zip" to the root of your SD-Card and boot into the bootloader menu (the white screen with 3 android's on the bottom) and then it should recognize the new CWM.
Terrific. I didn't understand it. My daughter lives 100km from me so I will have to visit her this weekend. She left after Christmas saying "Dad, admit it you are a failure" after I had spent hours on it, so this might show her I am not as useless as she thinks. I am intending to flash the "mini" CM 9 rom. I hope this is the best one.

I really hope it works (i'm out of solutions ) otherwise you should really think about S-Off'ing it.
miniCM 9 is the fastest one but the sensor buttons don't give a vibration feedback it's a kinda annoying.
Good luck
I have had a very very frustrating day. I tried "update.zip", didn't do anything. I even renamed it "pc49img.zip" nothing. I finally found a windows program called "unlock root". I used the free version. You just connect up the phone via usb and press root. It gets you to confirm it is a wildfire and then after a bit says successfully rooted. I then installed Superuser, Rom Manager and ES File Explorer to check it.
I backed up the present rom successfully with Rom Manager. It even has an option for flashing Clockworkmod recovery and one for rebooting into recovery for manual management. It downloads CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 but it doesn't work either (looking at the files on the SD card I think it is just the same as the "update.zip"). There is also an option for installing a rom from sd card but when I went to this it asked if there was any addon, and of course I need tiny gapps. It then said I need the paid version for this. Seeing the recovery didn't work I didn't want to risk it.
My conclusion is all the present CWM recoveries require S-Off. I have read some people like the Aroma installer. I know nothing about it, but I wonder if it might be possible to install the CM 9 rom with it.
I have worked out what my problem has been. I have fallen for the old Trackball trick. I must be the only person not to know you use the Trackball in CWM recovery not the power button. I sent my daughter an email and she has confirmed the recovery in Rom Manager actually works when you use the Trackball. I will have to visit her again now to install CM 9.
MiniCM9 installed. Working great. I will put a how to in "General"
I have the international LG Optimus G..
Can I use FreeGee for any thing ?
Will it give me CWM ?
seriously, how have you not found the info you need by searching? It's not like you're new either -.-
Anyway, it lets you unlock bootloader, gives you twrp which is a prefectly good replacement for cwm.
Cm 10.1 can be found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229806 and http://get.cm/?device=e975
They are not the same. I'm using the one by chad

Yes, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212323&highlight=freegee
To boot into recovery:
Power off
press volum UP + power, this gets you to the fastboot menu.
Now, press volume down TWICE, then Power.
Yes, only those two CM 10.1 so far. When most of the bugs they have are sorted out I think we can expect some different ones to show up (slim bean, pacman etc. I really don't know though)

Will I be able to flash new bootamimations ect like on Samsung Galaxy S3 with CWM ?
Is it posible to do full backup in TWRP and always have options to go back to stock rom ?
Will the ROM MANAGER backup/ Restore work or only in TWRP ?
Can I Lock bootloader again if it needs to be repaired ?
I think so, look in the theme & apps section. I tried changing the font through rom toolbox pro, gave me a softbrick. so be cautious.
Yes, you can always make a nandroid backup when you want. Just like cwm recovery
Well, rom manager is based on cwm, but nandroids should work regardless, you can set twrp as your recovery in rom manager.
I think you can relock the bootloader by using the kdz method to restore your phone to stock. Pretty sure its been asked before.
You can NOT use twrp recoveries in cwm, and vice versa!! Also, I have no idea how to get back twrp after flashing to cwm recovery without using a kdz recovery. Which basically wipes your phone.

Ya once you unlocked the bootloader and custom recovery installed yu can able to change the boot animations....pretty simple process.....yu can even do it without unlocking the bootloader nd witout custom recovery too but ur mobile must be rooted to do this process....using terminal emulator nd proper shell scripting its possible also we can use ly root explorer for this....
After achieving S-Off, thanx to Romrunners method, I flashed CWM Recovery cause I prefer over TWRP. Just wanted to know if I should be concerned in having 2 recoverys installed, and how to delete the other.

OK so first off you can't have 2 recoveries. Also it is called rumrunner. ROM manager is not support for this phone. And Twrp is better. Lol

That's ROM Manager's somewhat backwards way of asking you what to do about its recovery image.
The options, from top to bottom, are "Install CWM", "I have already installed CWM", and "I have already installed TWRP."
If you choose the one that applies to you, it will stop bothering you.
ROM Manager works fine, btw - once you've convinced it that you have CWM-m7vzw installed (it can even install it itself(!)) you can back up and restore and flash ROMs 'til your heart's content–even CM10.2 nightly updates.
I have a similar question, I have cwm on my htc and want to go over to twrp. What's the best way to remove cwm?

You do not need to remove cwm, all you need to do is put the twrp.img file in your adb/fastboot folder, boot to the bootloader, select fastboot usb - sometimes it loads automatically to this -, type fastboot devices to confirm your device then type "fastboot flash recovery twrp_filename.img" - type that without the quotes and the actual filename with .img. Once you enter that and hit enter you should get some text saying it is being sent to your phone and it should tell you if it worked or failed.
Thanks I appreciate the help..

How were you able to make flashing custom roms work using freegee? I successfully rooted my Optimus G Pro and used freegee to install CWM recovery 6.0.4.7, but everytime I try to flash a custom rom - the phone would reboot after 10 -15 seconds. I followed and installed the custom roms accordingly to the instructions. Can you help me?

There are two different versions of Freegee on the Playstore. One is the free version and One is the paid version. I used the free version and when I open the app to install CWM recovery I don't see the "unlock" option, so I think the "unlock" option is only available in the paid version. Also, when I used the free version of Freegee to install CWM recovery, I can make and restore my nandroid backup. Maybe I need to buy the paid version of Freegee??
no u don't need paid.
also I didn't have the unlock option and I was able to flash.
I would say try twrp.
also are u trying just 1 ROM or have to tried a couple. maybe do that

Check in CWM recovery, before you flash any of the ROM's that LOKI support is enabled, I think you can find it under Advanced and it says something like "Toggle LOKI support"

do I enable Loki after the flash or before the flash? Because I enable loki in the advance option of CWM recovery after I flash a custom rom and the phone still reboots 10-15 seconds. I did all the normal wipes and stuff too. I'm thinking maybe its because of I'm the software version that I'm on which is E98010g.
He said "check before you flash any rom,that LOKI support is enabled"... You should carefully read instructions before you do anything or you will end with bricked device...

For some reason Rom manager cwm didn't work for me so I tried installing freegee from the play store and installing cwm from there.
Since freegee my cwm works fine and I was able to flash.

I'm having the same trouble with recovery. I was on SlimBean for several months and decided to flash a ROM from RadeonMaya, but it wouldn't boot, so I tried to restore my backup of Slim from CWM. It looked like it restored properly, but it wouldn't boot either. I finally reverted back to stock and rooted again, downloaded Freegee and tried to flash CWM. I booted into recovery to flash my Slim backup, but I got an "error loki-ifying the boot image". I tried Phil's recovery, but couldn't boot back into recovery from CWM
Since then, I have not been able to flash anything, and have reverted back to stock probably a dozen times. I've tried TWRP, but can't flash a version that works on 4.1.2. I'm beyond frustrated at this point. I had fun flashing on this phone until these problems showed up, now I'm just going to try to like the stock ROM and hope we get an update to KitKat.
Just a quick question guys. What does freegee's "unlock" feature do? I ask because I don't get that option in Freegee either. Is it supposed to network unlock your phone or? Also, what is the need for the unlock?
