[Q] Clockworkmod, what have I done wrong?

I am trying to get Clockworkmod working on my DZ.
I have got perm root by using Visionary and I have installed ROM Manager from the market place which appears to install the ClockworkMod image.
However, when I select boot into recovery, the phone restarts and I get a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
I have tried repeating the above steps a couple of time but it makes no difference.
What have I done wrong?
R.

Just go into ROM Manager again (don't reinstall ROM Manager another time) and just flash the Recovery again. It seems to need two goes to make it work for some reason.

Tried that several times.
When I issue the Flash ClockworkMod recovery command it completes much quicker than the first time. Is this expected or do you think it's not actually completing the flash the second time? No error is reported.

For me, when I did it the second time, it was a lot quicker, yes. But it worked - i.e. when I selected the option to reboot into recovery (from ROM Manager), that booted the system straight into Clockwork.
Maybe try going into Menu->Settings from ROM Manager, then selecting the option to erase recovery before flashing ?

Just reading here, it looks like I need root AND S-OFF. I've only done the root stuff so far...
Stay tuned.

LOL, yes, that'll be the problem, I should have thought of that

Root is enough! Install it again. The first time you've installed it you had temp root probably. It will be ok after a secong install.

Press Vol up + power on the red triangle screen!!!!!

I don't think you can flash any custom images, including recovery, unless you have S-OFF ? The write protection on the NAND will be on, which will stop you.

I do remember reading something about being able to flash rooms WITH S-on using a newer Visionary. Never heard anything since though.
Give it a bash n report back, it can only say no.

OK. I've now used the gfree package to get S-OFF too and managed to install the ClockworkMod recovery image. And I can boot into recovery too
However, in the course of my fiddling, I installed version 2.5.1.3 whereas the latest is 2.5.1.4 I believe.
I've tried to upgrade by using the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" menu and selecting 2.5.1.4 I always get an error saying "An error occurred while flashing your recovery."
I can reflash 2.5.1.3 most times without issue.
This is all with ROM Manager Premium 2.5.0.7.
What am I doing wrong now?

Although there seem to be 2.5.1.4 versions if you go to the download link directly at http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ , there aren't any for Vision (DZ/G2) there. So I think the message you're getting from Clockwork about a newer version is wrong, and you're on the latest (2.5.1.3) already.

[Q] Can not boot in recovery mode

Just flashed shipped rom by the way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826465
Then installed Visionary to root, it was OK.
Then did a "one click radio S-off" it was ok.
Then installed ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery .... Everything was OK. Then I reboot to Recovery mode, screen burst upon with "!" symbol in triangle and halt ...
Try to do many ways ... but nothing happened better.
Somehow I got mistake or something went wrong? Because before re-flashed the rom said above I can boot into recovery mode without problem.
Please help.
Thanks.

You need km flash the clockwork recovery image over the top of the stock recovery. Flashing with ROM manager is a fake flash and not the real thing, have a look at the stickies have flash the recovery then you'll be good to go,
Good luck

Blinkydamo what are you talking about?? Rom manager flashes it just fine. It just has a bug, that sometimes users have to flash cwm twice.
So, HkDng, just try to flash clockworkmod again using rom manager.

Thanks jkoljo.
I tried to flash using rom manager many times but still failed.

Try to remove the rom manager and install it again.. And check in bootloader that you have S-OFF.

Personally I would flash the recovery from fastboot, at least then you know if it's worked or not, I am finding rom manager a little flaky with the latest cwm 3.0.0.5, and end up using Clockwork recovery directly for the time being

[Q] Can I flash Clockwork Mod recovery from hboot?

I'll run through a history:
- Rooted my phone to S-OFF and installed a custom ROM
- Installed another custom ROM after running a 'super wipe' script
- Decided I wanted to go back, tried to get to clockworkmod recovery but I couldn't get to hboot
- Tried to re-root, got halfway and it failed. I could now get to hboot but when I get to clockworkmod recovery it shows an error logo with a danger triangle sign. When I try to boot it just stays on the HTC logo.
- The first time I tried to load Clockworkmod it said it couldn't access some /cache/ directory and now it just shows the warning icon with no error message.
I think I need to reinstall Clockworkmod, then use that to reinstall a ROM. I heard it's possible to do this by flashing a zip file from the SDcard and loading hboot. How can I do this?
Thanks!

That red triangle is HTC's recovery mode. You should manage to get root via one click root and then flash clockwork normally. In the app.

Thanks. What exactly is one click root? Have googled it but not sure which it is.
I think you might mean this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537
But that seems to require that I can boot into a ROM in the first place? I can't get past the HTC logo at all.

No that is S-OFF. You need S-OFF if you want to flash custom rom. This is what I meant http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Thanks again. Just to clarify, on hboot it tells me it's 'S-OFF' at the top of the screen. I should run the one click utility anyway, right?

I don't think superone click works on dhd but I could be wrong. Haven't read up on it in a long time.
But back to original question on hand. I made a guide in the general section for this exact issue. It titled stuck in hboot. Their I have a link for cwr in a pd98 format(flashable through hboot).
It should work for you. I did notice that the modelid in the txt is different but was told it should work for dhd with no modification but I have not confirmed as I have an inspire. If it doesn't work let me know and ill make the change quickly and uplaod a new one. Its a simple change. If you want to can try. Simply change the model I'd to pd98100000 from pd9812000

Thank you, I will try that now.

...And it worked! Thanks all

I have a similar problem. I tried to flash a galaxy rom on to my htc evo 4g and now my phone wont boot up. I actually need instructions on how to do this. When I try to flash recovery it goes into HBOOT and also goes into bootloader. But when I try recovery it goes to the white HTC Evo 4g screen and immediately goes back to Hboot. Iv tried to download a clockworkmod custom recovery img and flash it as a PC36IMG zip. It finds the zip and says parsing PC36IMG but doesn't ask if I want to flash it and goes back into bootloader. I renamed the recovery image "Recovery" and the Zip "PC36IMG" as instructed from a different website. I can ONLY use this method because my micro port is broken.
Also when I downloaded the recovery image there were two choices. Recovery image and recovery touch image. We should I go with?

I tell you how to over come this:
1) Throw your phone into the trash can
2) Buy a new one
3) Come back to xda
4) Read all the tutorials once again
5) Read them again
6) Re-read them
7) Now do whatever you want.
This method works perfectly for any noob...

Sorry but what are you talking about an EVO 4g in the DHD forums??...BTW, in the zip file you need a .txt file to be able to be flashed. If that file is missing then the hboot will never detect the .zip file.
Besides, if you have an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash recovery in that way. You can do it using fastboot flash commands...

[Q] Phone wont go into CWM recovery..

Hey there. I am trying to get my phone to run cwm. I tried both the touch image and the image that comes with the htc one v toolkit. Fastboot installs it no problems but when I try to go to recovery either by adb command or through the phone direct I get the "This build of HTC is not be distributed" message when I rooted the phone a while back but it just hangs there..
Please help. I really dont like having to hold down the power button for 10+ seconds praying it wont brick.
P.S. I did try to install CWM through the normal way on the play store. I thought it would work cause it detected my phone right and didnt warn me. SU did tell me it was doing something in some .sh file. I uninstalled cwm before trying the fastboot methods.
John

I suggest using the "all-in-one" tool from the Development Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
and then use "boot into recovery"

I finally got it to work by using TWRP. had to find one that specifically said CDMA/Virgin Mobile.
Thanks for your help.

[RESOLVED] unable to enter recovery mode :(

Hello folks,
I started out with a 4.0.4 Xperia Arc that was upgraded through the PC companion utility. Starting with these instructions,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27864948&postcount=31
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27864968&postcount=32
I was able to root my phone as well as unlock the bootloader. The X-Parts application has been installed, but I've been unable to enter recovery mode. The best I've been able to get is a "Safe Mode", though I'm not sure what it means.
Does anyone have links to download the latest recovery.img file? I want to try fastbooting it. Or is there something else I could try?
-chronodekar

If you've unlocked the boot loader X-Parts isn't needed. Flash a kernel that has CWM, which you'll find in the dev section.

Any suggestions? The only reason I unlocked/rooted the phone was to get a fast dialer app. The stock 4.0.4 is too slow for my tastes.

Read about the features of each and pick one.

I think you stil have locked bootloader, but phone might be rooted. You need cwm recovery from market. First after root had instal recovery, if its done then go play/market and download cwm recovery and then xparts. For me xparts says that whitout cwm it not work.

I just installed "ROM Manager" (v5.0.2.1) from the Market. It was the top result when I searched for "CWM recovery". On opening it, I click the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" option. It asks me to confirm my phone model as "LT15i" which I do. Then a message comes up,
"LT15i does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet. Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?" with a Yes/No option.
What should I try next?
-chronodekar

did you download from market xparts? To it, and in xparts have to chose what recovery had you flashed. Xparts dont ron correctly if you dont have cwm from market- very annoing after every rom changes to download these two thing

I've been searching for some time, but I cannot find this "cwm" in the android market/play store.
Some good news is that I manged to solve my problem. In hindsight, it looks like x-parts is horrible or useless at downloading CWM from wherever it downloads it. Some searching led me to this blog,
http://xperiadev.wordpress.com/guidelines-xperia/rooting-cwmrecovery/
The guy there has helpfully given a non-market or downloadable link to the CWM-installer. I transferred that to my phone via my laptop's bluetooth connect and wonder-of-wonders it worked ! I was FINALLY able to boot into the recovery mood.
Even better, that blue LED light everyone talks about? That finally began to appear too.
Thanks for all the assistance folks!
