So I am trying to remove MIUI and install a diff ROM but I am having serious problems because when I try to install the other ROM from ROM manager, it brings me to the manual recovery every time. I also tried to do a factory reset and it still brings me to the recovery. I have an old backup of my ROM but even trying to restore to that it reboots me into recovery. I am not sure what to do at this point
Just restore it manually through recovery. I've only used ROM Manager maybe twice, to update CWM. Otherwise, I do everything manually so I know it's being done right
Don't try to flash a ROM via ROM Manager, download the ROM's zip file and flash via recovery.

That's the best way to do things go straight to recovery and do things manually

I have the latest recovery mod installed (ClockworkMod 2.0.1.3) on the latest ROM and Radio released June 28th for the Evo and I get the error icon every time i try to load into recovery. I have already tried to re-flash from ROM manager but no luck. Any ideas or on whats going on?
The same thing has happened to me twice. It happened when the program told me there was a new version available, and had to flash the new one. Afterwards, I could not boot into recovery (i'd just stay stuck in the beginning screen).
The way I fixed it is inside of ROM Manager, I clicked "Fix Permissions", and after that was done, I clicked "Flash Amon RA". This at least allows me to use the Amon RA custom recovery.
I had issues with the latest clockwork 2.0.1.3 too. At the bottom of rom manager there is the option to flash previous recoveries, i just went back to 2.0.1.2 and it works fine.
I have tried multiple old versions of clockworkmod and the alt recovery and still no luck. All attempts to load into any type of recovery have failed. HELP!!!

not sure exactly what you mean by the bolded statement. like you installed the updates in a custom rom or you did the OTA to get the latest rom and radio?

I used the "[ROM] OTA 1.47.651.1 Rooted" method to update my phone then I ran Calkulin's radio update. After this I was able to go into recovery and perform the factory reset / wipe device. I then preceded to restore my phone's data using My Backup Pro. after seeing that everything was working fine i went to try and perform a nandroid backup and found my recovery to be broken. Have been unable to flash a working rom since. I have been using ROM manager to flash different recoveries. and I always have the same result of a picture of a phone with an exclamation mark inside a triangle.
Hello! I need help on my G2 that doesnt want to flash any roms at all. When i go into Rom Manager and download a rom and go install it, it finish and it boots up but it just stays on the first HTC logo. I leave it there for more then ten minutes relizing the in messed up. So i have to go back into recovery(manualy) and wipe all data and cache and then i flash the Virtuous Rom(because i downloaded it to the sdcard) and it boots up. Also when i try to flash the mods to the rom and it also fail and i have to do the same procedure again and again everytime i try to flash a rom or backup. What should i do? Oh i also have S-OFF if that helps.
have you tried manually downloading and flashing another ROM through recovery?
Also, are you doing full wipes when trying to flash the new ROMs?

No i havent tried from a diferrent recovery but i will. Also i have benn doing full wipes and cache wipes.
Not a different recovery..the same way you flashed that rom is the same way you can flash others..if you downloaded rom through rom manager you can find it in that folder which is on your sd card called clockworkmod

Not a different recovery. Just make sure that your CWM recovery is the latest version. Download a ROM of your choice from the Dev section via your computer, transfer to your SDcard, and flash manually from your phone (not using ROM manager). Do a cache/dalvik cache/full data wipe. Then flash the ROM and reboot.
ROM manager can often have issues with bad downloads that lead to bad flashes. Flashing manually can be a way to troubleshoot and take a potential bad step out of the equation.

You can download roms from dev section from your device as well.
As far as the op..what do you mean you downloaded from a youtube video and you don't trust people who past roms? If you don't trust people don't mess with it. The devs here aren't going to brick you phone..that's a mistake on your end or you not paying attention to what you were flashing

Correct me if I'm wrong but if i remember correctly it is extremely difficult to brick ones phone. The worst possible thing that could happen is if your phone some how died during a flash half way through. You can easily boot into bootloader, enter recovery and attempt to do it again.
With CWM you can mount the sd card in the mounts and storage settings so if you forgot or somehow deleted the Rom Zip from your card you can easily and safely access your card using CWM
i'm having the same issue
i have the phone rooted, s-off, and hboot installed
i'll boot into rom manager, wipe the data/cache, install the rom i want, reboot device... i get the white htc screen for about 5 seconds and then the phone restarts.
when it restarts, i get the white htc screen and then it boots into rom manager
what could be causing this? i had my previous g2 rooted and never had these issues when i was flashing roms
Sorry for the somewhat long post, but I've tried a lot to solve this problem. So the other day, I tried installing the Paradox II Love ROM from Juggernaut 5.0 and followed its instructions exactly. I used both the Super Wipe and Kernel Cleanser and the steps that followed. After my phone rebooted, it would load the new kernel and then immediately reboot into recovery mode.
So after failing to work a few more times, I decided to try Darkside Digital Warfare. Again, the kernel would load, but then this time, it would just get stuck on the kernel logo. I waited over 20 minutes, and it did nothing. In the thread for the ROM, apparently a few people have had the same issue. A possible solution was installing a different kernel. I tried several, and it continued to have the same problem.
So I decided to use my nandroid backup, which didn't work. Something about an md5 mismatch I think. So I decided to try and reflash Juggernaut 5, and that ROM now wouldn't load. So I try GBaxeEX which I was using before Juggernaut and that just reboots to recovery.
So far, all that works are stock ROMs or ROMs that are close to stock. Right now, I'm using a debloated ROM and have no problems. I've found I can load custom kernels, so I'm using Darkside Xv1.
I've tried using Odin to go back to stock before flashing new custom ROMs, I've tried manually wiping system data in recovery before flashing, I've tried not using the Super Wipe, and I've tried redownloading the ROMs in case of an error or incomplete download. I've also tried initiating the install from ROM Manager. My phone just refuses to accept custom ROMs anymore.
Any advice is appreciated. I've been flashing ROMs since the Vibrant first came out and have never had a problem like this.
Try running tdj super wipe. Then flash your rom of choice. I highly recommend darkside rom!

Like I said in my original post, I did try the Super Wipe and have tried it multiple times since. I've also tried using the Super Wipe and formatting system data in recovery.

You may have to ODIN back to stock then re-root. After that get CWM and start flashing again. This should work.
What I learned from my Vibrant days. If everything else fails, Odin Stock and start all over again.
BTW. Small hint. Use ROM Manager to create a .zip for CWM, rename it update.zip. Doing this will allow you to go directly from Stock recovery (volume +/- and power) to flashing without Rooting the device. Just load stock recovery and install the created update.zip by selecting Install Update. First flash of update.zip will go back to Stock recovery, second will load CWM.

Again, this was something I tried multiple times and was mentioned in my original post. I was able to fix the md5 mismatch error thanks to a few other XDA threads, so I've restored a previous backup for my Juggernaut 5.0 setup.
Update: Since restoring a previous backup, I've successfully flashed Darkside Digital Warfare. However, Paradox II still refuses to install.
So, I've run into a bit of a pickle and am hoping that it's an easy fix. I'm running Jedi Rom on my ATT phone with Saberkernel. I've used Perseus and Asylum kernels prior but now stick to Saberkernel exclusively. My problem is I'm currently running CWM v.6.0.1.4 jb, and cannot wipe/factory reset. I try to do so, and the recover will restart itself. I've tried to install TWRP, but it gets stuck into a bootloop. I recently tried installing PhilZ Touch CWM. The install is successful but I cannot backup anything. What happens is it will hang for about 2 seconds then restarts the recovery. I've been trying to search for a solution for months, but cannot figure out what's up. Any help would be awesome!
How did you install TWRP just curious? Try installing twrp using goomanager from playstore. Open goomanager and hit menu then install openscript.

I've tried several ways including flashing via cwm, goo manager, as well as odin. Its very odd.

Why not start fresh install? Back up all your apps then flash stock rom again then flash custom rom again.

So simple, thanks alot! My "fresh" install file I've been using for months must have been the culprit. I found another one here and it looks like it's all good. Thanks again!
Hi all, found my old SGH-T989 and I want to turn this phone into my play phone.
I am new to rooting and all and I don't know which versions of what to use. Everytime I mess up, I have to restore the phone back to stock 2.3.6 then upgrade to 4.1.2 via Kies, then try to root and such.
Problem is... I don't know which ROMs, gapps to use and which cwm to use!!! Seems like every guide out there is outdated because I get stuck in a bootloop every single time I try to flash a ROM or I get Error 7...
Any tips?
I just want 4.4.2 at least on my SGH-T989 What are my options? What are your suggestions?

You need to be on 4.1.2 for this to work. I am bit responsible for what happens. You can get 4.1.2 for Odin from samfirmware.com. Download the latest TWRP from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hercules/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hercules.tar and flash it in Odin. Your phone should reboot. Boot into recovery by powering off your phone and then holding power and the two volume buttons until you hear two vibrations and then hold just the volume buttons until you see a black screen. Release all buttons. Flash @Chainfire's SuperSU in recovery ( http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip) Wipe cache ald Dalvik and reboot. You should be rooted and able to flash any KitKat ROM. AOSPA is a good choice. It is pretty stable.

I just flashed CarbonROM on my sister's phone this weekend. Rooting is not really required.
My process:
Flash TWRP (this was the most difficult of the entire process. It is still relatively easy though). I used Odin to flash the latest TWRP. TWRP provides odin flashable archives so it is really just a matter of knowing how to flash thing using Odin. This does not require root. The CWM wiki page says that Rooting is not required, nor is it the preferred method when flashing a new rom.
You can use Heimdall, but it is very hit and miss with this phone. Odin is much more "reliable" on the T989. I tried Heimdall, but I ended up having to reset my sister's phone because it flashed the recovery incorrectly.
Download the rom of your choice and its associated gapps package. Put them on your sd card
Boot into recovery. You will need to use TWRP's mechanisms to wipe/factory reset the phone. Then wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Install the zip of the rom and then immediately afterward install the gapps package. I usually wipe the cache and dalvik cache again for good measure at this point, but I understand it is not needed.
Reboot the phone. If all went well, it will take awhile to boot, but you will be sitting at the start screen of a brand new shiny rom.
Set it up and start using it. Most roms already come rooted.
The reason rooting isn't required using this method is because the download mode of the T989 essentially gives you root priviledges.
I've used this process on two T989 phones without any error. If you want to backup your phone, do that in step 3 _before_ you wipe/factory reset your phone.
Usually what I do is just use Odin to flash ClockworkMod then copy the ROMS to the sdcard. Boot into recovery then install zip from SD Card, select ROM. If you use CyanogenMod then just select your device and Google search the cyanogenmod gapps
