If I boot into recovery all functions doesn't work anymore. Reboot, backup ... nothing. I have to pull the battery to restart my desire. The strange thing is that it worked excellent for a couple of month. I tried ext4 and clockworkmod but the same happened for both.
In ext4 usaually all file systems like boot, root, sdext will shown but now only the ext4 fs on sdcard and fat fs on sdacrd will shown.
Does anybody have an idea?

I flashed ext4 with 4ext recovery updater and clockworkmod over rom manager. I didn't flash it with android flasher but I guess it's no important how the recovery has been flashed. In both ccases the recovery has been installed successfully but if I boot into it and try to choose any option nothing happened. The strange thing is that it worked before and due to what ever reason now it's stopped working.
What I am wondering about is that 4ext recovery doesn't show the file systems of the phone anymore what it does before. May the recoveries doesn't have access to the phone filesystem anymore....
Could this be a reason ? and if yes how to solve it ?
Did you try amon ra or rmd recovery?

I tried 4ext and different CWM versions. The last try was with revolutionary CWM. All without success. I don't think it's related to the recoveries itself as 4ext and CWM worked before. Bu I don't have a clue what might have changed on my mobile that it doesn't work anymore.
I think flashing recovery manually or at least using Android flasher it is a lot better than doing it via rom manager or 4ext recovery updater. That's what most people say here anyways. Give it a try.

Wait, you used ROM Manager?
Now I tried some different methods of flashing with some different recoveries.
- I flashed with android flasher as suggested
- direct with adb
- I put a PB99IMG.zip file on the sd card and updated via bootloader
I used following recoveries cwm-4.0.1.4, recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7, recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1
Independend from the flash method the result was always the same.
I got the recovery flashed but after reboot into recovery no menu function of the recovery worked. Even for a simple reboot I had to pull the battery.
So I can only come to the result it's not the method of flashing nor the recovery itself. But of course that will not solve my problem
Any further suggestions are highly welcome.

Are you navigating through the screens with the trackpad?
the power button does nothing there.
I used the volume button to navigate and the power button to select the menu entry - that was the fault.
With using trackpad everything is fine.
So problem solved
Thanks guys for your support.

Another way to partition your SD card is to use Gparted Live. That is Gparted from Linux. But as a bootable CD (or USB etc) making it runable on almost every system.

Hi,
Recently I turned my Wildfire S-Off with AlphaRevX. After Rooting with SuperOneClick I tried to install CWM 2.5.0.7 with Rom-Manager.
Rom-Manager itself told me everything went right. I tried to boot to Recovery, BUT:
Just got a Red Punctuation mark and after pressing Vol Up it said "Command not found in /Recovery/ "
Is this a known problem?
I think I can try to flash CWM via fastboot, but i'm not sure if I should do that.
The big question is: Are there any known problems with CWM 2.5.0.7 and HBOOT 1.01.00002 (don't know, but I think thats my version) after flashing via Fastboot?
Will it be possible to use Rom-Manager to install Roms?
Thx
BBsan
The same here.
How are you trying to access Recovery Mode? If you use the conventional Vol Down + Power, it will not work, and, as such, can only be accessed when you select Reboot into Recovery from within ROM Manager.
Anyway, Getting CWM from ROM Manager is more like a "temporary / secondary" way to get it. It is recommended to use Fastboot to write a Recovery directly to the NAND. Using it will not have any issues (Did it personally).
Lastly, your HBoot will be 6.01, after using AlphaRev X. There will be no issues using v2.5.0.7. The problem is, you will not be able to install Gingerbread ROMs, and, if you install v3.x.x.x, you will not be able to install Sense Froyo ROMs and Radios. Hence, the recommended technique is to Flash a Clockworkmod 3.x via Fastboot (ie in your NAND), and, Flash Clockworkmod again, but via ROM Manager to get 2.x. So, you have both,
Okay thx alot, I'll try tonight.
What Version does unrevoked flash by default?
I've got a second wildfire with old HBOOT and was able to flash CM7 without any problems via Rom-Manager.
Interesting.. Though I personally keep ROM Managers CWM as a Secondary one, more so, because one needs both 2.x and 3.x these days.
ROM Manager flashes 2.5.0.7 by default, although you can change it if you need to.
Hmm okay So I'll try and post if I succeeded
EDIT:
OK everything now worked fine THX for help!
EDIT2:
I was able to install CM 7 with 2.5.0.7!
I think ive bricked my phone and don't know what to do.... please help me
1) Ive root, downgrade and S-OFF my Desire Z using this instructions and everything went with no problem.afterwards I was able to boot into new ROM and confirm the changes.
2) I downloaded latest CM for my device, copied it on my SD card with Google pack and followed instructions here to flash CM(1).
I used Method via Recovery(2) and proceed every step with no error... after step 10 i select Reboot system now as instructed in the manual. BUT my phone boots into ClockworkMod Recovery AGAIN as if nothing happened.
I am unable to boot neither in CM nor previous ROM.
THANK U FOR HELPING ME
PS:
before copying CM files i formatted my SD card with windows in FAT32
I was not sure how can i boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. So, i did it by installing ROM manager application and selecting the option "Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery"
I am using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.2.4

Are you still able to boot into recovery?
If you are, try reflashing CM7 as it might have just not "stuck".
Also, check the md5 of the downloads to make sure they are intact.

Yes! i am able to boot into ClockWorkRecovery and (apparently) it is working properly.
i also have access to ADB. but im such a noob i dont know what to do
I tried so many times to first wipe data/factory reset from the menu, then installing CM7 from Zip on SD and rebooted the device. but my phone boots to ClockWorkRecovery every time... and Md5, its correct.
Thanks for help

That's odd ... have you tried pulling the battery and booting that way as opposed to rebooting out of recovery?

tried to install another rom? except cyanogen?
Hello, Im kind of new to both this phone and custom roms, and it seems like ive gotten myself in some trouble.
I installed the ICS alpha rom to play around with, and now i cant seem to install any other rom. I had trouble flashing the clockwork recovery, so i used the alternate recovery listed at the bottom of the Rom manager program. That one worked, and i installed the ICS rom with no problem.
Now i want to install a different rom, but i for some reason cant. no matter what rom i try it gives errors at the verification point during installation and automatically aborts. Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks,
Plethysmograph
Well I know CWM has an option when you install a .zip there's an option to turn off/on signature verification. But alternate recovery I dunno
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
the alternate recovery i have is RA_GNM Recovery 3.02, if that helps. I tried to flash clockwork recovery and i didnt get any problems but when i went to boot in to recovery it just booted in to the other one

Did you then go back into Rom Manager and select "Flash Alternate Recovery" to switch over to CWM?
Also, what version of CWM did you download? Where did you get this file from?
Here is a verified site for Inc recoveries: http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28
Im confused, the alternate recovery option is the RA_GNM Recovery. I downloaded the latest version of it from the clockwork mod website (5.0.2.0)
would the problem im having be due to a different PB31IMG?

Ok, that is the proper file. Once you selected the option, your alternate recovery became your primary recovery and vice versa. Amon Ra is now and still your main recovery whereas CWM is your "alternate recovery." Selecting the "flash alternate recovery" option again (if it allows that is) should switch it back over to CWM.
Even after doing all that it still goes to the other recovery. Or maybe im just doing something wrong, which is most likely the case.

Ohhhh, I see the problem. Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in Rom Manager to go from Amon Ra to CWM. To test, I began with CWM 3.0.0.8:
1) installed Rom Manager and upgraded to 5.0.2.0
2) selected "Flash Alternate Recovery" and Amon Ra was installed. I then booted into recovery to verify it was there.
3) reboot phone and go back into Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and let it update.
4) go into recovery if you want to visual verification. Tada CWM 5.0.2.0 is installed for me.
How's this work?
I tried those steps and it seems like the other recovery is still on there. I must be doing something incorrect because your steps make sense, but for some reason my phone is just being incredibly stubborn
Also when i go and try to flash the stock PB31IMG file it says the current one is newer and doesnt go through with it. I know i had to use a different one in order to put ICS on, and for some reason i think it may have to do with some of the problems im having.

Hmm, aight how about this...
Go into rom manager and press Menu, then select "Erase Recovery" then try the first "Flash Clockwork Recovery" option again.
Otherwise, download CWM 5.0.2.0 from the link I posted above. Place that file onto the root of your sd card and delete the other CWM file you previously downloaded. As you know, you need to install this PB31IMG.zip via hboot.
I really think we can and will get this recovery situation straightened out.
Edit: just read your second post. Hmm, I wasn't aware of any additional CWM instructions for that rom. I'll take a look at it now and see if anything stands out.
When trying to use the stock PB31IMG file, I get the error that says:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
Ive tried both and still no dice. Its really odd, and i agree with you on the instructions for that ROM, i know i saw them somewhere but i cant for the life of me remember where.
Flash this thru hboot http://dinc.does-it.net/PB31IMG.zip. Put it on your sd in no folders. Do not rename it. This is an hboot flashable of cwm 5.0.2.0.
Amon RA is stricter than cwm when flashing files by default. If you want to continue to use Amon you will need to go in to it and go to the flash zip menu and select toggle signature verifications. Then try to flash a rom.
Well I did not notice anything in that thread aside from rom bugs and people not able to flash that ICS [alpha] in recovery. The first set of directions I found are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20486856&postcount=244
I have to ask because both recoveries will be the same blue color. Regardless of the setting you select, when you go into recovery the label still states Amon Ra? As in, even after you go into recovery and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" then reboot into recovery the label at the bottom is the same "Amon Ra"?
I appreciate the assistance cmlusco.
the file linked did work, but clockwork still doesn't show up. it still loads the amon recovery for some reason. this is so frustrsting haha. I mean if there's no way to get clockwork on there do you know of any roms that will install through the amon recovery?
I'm not sure about AmonRa compatibility, I always assumed everything worked for both recoveries. I never strayed from the recommendation to use CWM. I took the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. Have you tried the latter part of cmlusco's post in Amon Ra?

Verry strange. I have never heard of that happening. Well another sugestion would be to try to flash the stock recovery thru hboot and see if it will take. http://dinc.does-it.net/stockGBrecovery/PB31IMG.zip. If it does, reboot, and then try flashing cw again and see if it will take. If that dosent work i would try to flash an ruu and get back to stock.
I never saw an option to toggle the signature verifications, where is it? I tried the stock recovery, and it loaded up no problems but when i went in to recovery it was still the Amon Ra recovery.

I've flashed Alquez's Unofficial ClockworkMod and installed CWM. ROM Manager says Current Recovery ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.7
Latest Recovery ClockWorkMod 2.5.0.7
but when I try to backup current ROM, the phone reboots and I get a triangle with an ! in it and the phone freezes. CWM has root permissions.
Any clues please?
My opinion... dont use the Manger. So many people in the past show me that a App is only a App.
For example: Some users perform a backup with the manager but the sdcard was full...
The result: No Backup and a crying user.
If you perform the backup manually ... you see the sdcard is full.
Some job´s should be only done by a human
But regarding your problem: Can you boot into the recovery from the bootloader?

Yes, I can, and I can perform a backup from there, perhaps you're right I should avoid the app. Thanks
The triangle with a ! is the stock recovery. I think you need another key combination to progress into the stock recovery itself.
But the main point is, your flash of CWM recovery didn't work.
