Can't boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.

Haven't got enough posts to publish in the dev part of the forum and I can't find anyone with a DHD and this problem.
I'm on mike1986' Android Revolution HD 2.0.7 with senseless and trying to upgrade to 2.0.8 - with senseless.
I can't boot into ClockworkMod Recovery through Rom Manager or the boot menu (vol down at boot). Running 2.5.1.3 and it just hangs on the HTC screen. Tried flashing it twice from Rom Manager - no joy.
Looking for any advice - the rest of the phone runs fine btw.

Try to use the LASTEST version of CWM. i had this issues before coz i'm using the old version that i got from torrent. after i installed/ overwrite the old one, it works like charm! gud luck!

Cheers for the help, one question tho. As far as I am aware the latest CWM is 2.5.1.3. should I try using the "flash an older CWM" in Rom Manager?

All done, a massive thanks dude for the help.

Well, this is what you need to check before u want it to works..
1. Firstly, NOT to update your phone with latest firmware that is 17.2/17.5 (this will not work for ALL attempt)
2. Root your phone - apps needed (superuser & VISIONary+)
3. ROM Manager (get the latest one and granted as superuser) with the right Flash CWM Recovery.
4. S-OFF (check on the pinned DHD Android development thread)
i think that's all.. other might add in some info if i got myself less on it.. thank you

I'd try flashing an older recovery and flashing back to the newest. Remember you can also get to recovery by switching off and charging.

[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.

Does it work with your DHD? If yes, which Rom Manager version do you use?

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

[Q] Clockwork Recovery Question

Hi all,
I have both Clockworkmod ROM Manager (v3.0.1.2) and Clockwork Recovery installed on a rooted Defy 2.51.1.
When I want to back up my current ROM, ROM manager says "You must have ClockworkMod Recobery installed before continuing. Install the recovery through the ROM Manager first." which is odd because I already have it. But ok, I press Install.
Then it is says "confirm phone model", only listing Motorola Milestone, Droid X and Droid 2. No defy. Am I doing something wrong?

the clockwork for defy are unofficial, i think thats why the official app isn't compatible with it.

Use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233, which is a customized clockworkmod for defy.

Thanx for that. I have installed the Defy version now, but ROM Manager still will not let me back up my ROM.

Why do you still use ROM manager as you have already installed Defy Recovery (System Recovery)?
Or do you mean Defy Recovery doesn't boot into Recovery mode? You have to disabled usb debug to boot into Recovery mode.

From what I understand (which, granted, isn't much) I need ROM Manager to update to Froyo. I'm planning to do this:http://www.brighthub.com/mobile/motorola/articles/102410.aspx which is an extensive version of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10315371#post10315371 if I'm not mistaken.

You can use Defy Recovery. I think most people use Defy Recovery now for defy.

Then I'll just take the plunge. Thanx!

all you are doing essentially is opening defy recovery going into custom recovery boot restore that 2.2 defy nandroid you downloaded.... upon which if you try to reboot from there it will probably be in bootloop. Then you go to the RSD and flash the 2.2 boot only SBF.
No Rom manager needed

Thanx. I have managed to back up my system. I have however decided to pass on the upgrade for now. Most custom ROMs come with just too many defects or are too hard for me to install. Also, I just can't figure out if I can restore back to my old system 2.51.1 once I have upgraded. I'll bravely wait on the official upgrade by Motorola.
Anyhoo, thanx for your help so far. Much appreciated.

If you have us firmware you can go to the dev section and download the limited tmobile release. It's official froyo and will hold you over until final froyo comes out. And no risk of bricking with this.... I would uninstall custom recovery before updating tho

[Q] Do I Need To Upgrade My Clockwork Recovery IMG?

Hi i followed the xda wiki guide to root my phone and it said to push clockwork recovery img 3.0.2.4. so when i go to the clock work menu, it says 3.0.2.4. i have downloaded the latest rom manager on my phone which is version 4.3.2.4. im wondering if i need to reflash the latest clockwork onto my phone again or can i just leave it as is?

I don't quite understand your post -- according to ROM Manager, the latest CWM recovery is v3.0.2.4...

but when i go to rom manager it says i need to flash clockwork recovery mod even though i already have the clockwork recovery menu. should i just reflash it?

The latest official ClockworkMod Recovery is 3.0.2.4. The very latest UNOFFICIAL CWM recovery image is 3.1.0.1 (check my signature), and that brought back sd-ext support (and is needed for the latest PyroMod ROMs).

ok thanks but should i just clik flash clockwork mod recovery? i already have it when i installed it during the root process. if i click flash clockwork mod recovery will it screw up because i already have it?

No it won't mess anything up to flash it again via rom manager. What color is the text in the cwr you have right now? Is it orange?

If it says "CWM must be installed" or words to that extent, just hit the option at the very top of ROM Manager and follow all prompts. That will install 3.0.2.4 to your phone. If you want to install the current official Froyo build, scroll down and install the 2.5.1* recoveries.

yes its orange text

also it says my phone model is G2. is that ok even though its the DZ?

ok i got clockwork recovery to work. im going to install virtuous unity on my phone. do i just place the .zip folder in the root of my sd and then boot into clock work recovery to install? also do i need any new kernals for the virtuous unity rom or can i just use the stock kernal?

Just place the zip in the root of your sd card, fire up CWM and follow normal flashing procedure:
1. NANDroid back up
2. Wipe Cache, Davlik, Data, Battery Stats
3. Install from zip
4. Reboot phone after first boot
I believe Unity comes with an OCable kernel up to 1.5GHz. They do not recommend you use SetCPU or CPUTuner as the built in daemon reacts faster than those apps.

Just put the .zip file onto the root of the SD, and flash from ROM Manager. All custom ROMs come with kernels. You only need to flash a kernel if you want to add different overclock options, CPU governors, or to try to clear up a specific issue. The kernel included with Unity works just fine.

1.2 GHz, actually.

Wish this was true and we finally got some cwm 4.whatever lovin

[Q] Recovery won't start on DZ

Hi everyone,
I've rooted my DZ following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...sion#Rooting_the_Vision_.28G2.2FDZ.29_and_DHD
Everything fine, until I run ROM Manager (on Virtuous Sense 2.0).
It asked me to reinstall CW, I've selected yes and then... BAM!
If I run recovery from adb or bootloader my phone freezes and I need to restart it (from adb).
CW only works if I launch it from ROM Manager.
What I have to do?

Revert back to v3.0.2.4. Version 5 and above are known to be buggy. Or, I'd recommend giving 4EXT Recovery a try... it's awesome. Based on CWM, but more features and superb support. If you're interested the link is in my singature.

Thank you for the reply.
How do I revert back? Is there any guide?

you don`t need a guide. just use rom manger - its the last function at the bottom, here you can install older recoverys...

You can flash 4EXT Recovery over CWM. But yes, as the other user posted, there are options at the very bottom of the ROM Manager menu to flash previous versions of CWM. Of course, make sure you're flashing the proper version for your device... I believe the last stable version for the G2/DZ is v3.0.2.4.
