[Q] Some issues with ClockWorkMod/Phone

EDIT: I have fixed it by continuely running ROM Manager to reinstall 5.2.0.7, I did fix permissions then installed 5.2.0.7 and it works. However still having problems rebooting and shutting down, but i will fix that later
So recently i updated CWM. Then i ran into some issues, is that when i tried to do a date wipe and a cache wipe to do a clean install it wipes the user data fine but freezes on wipe /cache. i rebooted and tried again and
Sidenote: when I try to reboot or shutdown it gets stuck at the "shutting down" pop up and never fully shuts down/reboots
I am a bit afraid to try anything more right now
EDIT: I tried to get it into download mode, to maybe try to use odin to flash the older version of CWM. Problem is that i can't get it to go into download mode, and can't find a odin flashable CWM

you dont have any backups? are you on any current ROMs?
If so,
download clockwork recovery or ROM manager from the playstore
open it up
Allow super user permissions
Scroll down to the very bottom you will see a option that says "all clockworkmod recoveries"
Make sure you are on a WIFI for a good download
Choose the CWM 5.0.2.7 version, that one is more stable.. i hate the new one its gay as hell lol
Let it download itll need a good minute, try not to do anything else. you may have to try to download a few times if it freezes just be patient
once it downloads you are good to go and you can flash any ROM
let me know if you have more questions just PM me..
Hit thanks if this helped!

I am running AKOP Oct 1st nightly. I have backups with Titanium, and an older one for Nandroid backup. I launched ROM manager and tried to install the 5.0.2.7 version but ROM Manager seems to freeze and not work. I kill the app but it doesn't launch properly and only shows the title. I have to take out the battery and reboot to be able to launch ROM Manager up again. I think i may need to find a way to boot into Download and use odin to flash a new CWM and maybe the stock rooted ROM and go from there. I have to agree about the new CWM it is kinda a step back, wish i had looked it up before update.
I am going to PM you but I always like to have this out there in case anyone else is having the same issue or has had it.

for me...sometimes i cant get into recovery/download mode is because
i have a phone case and both buttons arent fully pressed. and as for the tar recovery
Odin T989 tar its a stable version
i recommend using twrp for now for more stability
i had a had a soft brick like everybody else using cwm 6.0.1.4 lol

I press both buttons and i end up in CWM 6.0.1.4. no case on the phone right now.
I have tried to download and install 5.2.0.7 though ROM Manager but it just freezes. This is what pops up right before it freezes http://i.imgur.com/1ryrP.png if it helps. I think ODIN may be the only way if i can make it boot to download that is.

yeah just flash the tar file thru odin and/or just flash over twrp (goomanager then go to the app>menu button>install openrecoveryscript)

My problem is that I can't get it to boot into download mode, that Odin needs it to be in for it to function. Pressing the volume buttons just makes it go into CWM.

I got it to reinstall 5.2.0.7. It took awhile but it looks like its still working. Just tested it out and it works. Now i know to not update CWM. What are the other recovery options that might be better then CWM?

Same issue here on the Telus T989D. Any solutions without using cwm?

You can always try the manual method if your brave and familiar with the terminal. Go to Team Win's for our phone here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/101. Download the .IMG file and follow the instructions under Download - Recovery Image Method (using dd): Not hard but doublecheck your typing before hitting enter or you'll brick your phone.
I'm not responsible for any actions taken because of this post. Good Luck, its worth it in the long run.

One small problem with that.....
Hi guys. I'm having a somewhat similar issue, but it's a little more problematic than that. I was in mid-flash when I unfortunately learned that any attempt to work with the cache resulted in an immediate freeze-up. From what little of the log I've seen, it's trying to tell me that the cache partition is read-only. Any attempt to unmount, wipe, or work with the cache in any way will result in an immediate lock up. This is *after* wiping the system and data partitions. I have been able to get TWRP to start correctly twice in the last 40 times I've tried to boot up the phone.
Question: I noticed that TWRP has a button where you can enter a terminal command. I don't have adb set up yet on this machine, since reloading it. I would imagine the answer would be 'no', but is it possible to put a different recovery image on the sd card, then use TWRP's terminal button to issue the command to flash it, or would that make matters worse? Or am I going to have to set up adb and odin again on another machine and use that? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Side note: I should've stayed with CWM non-touch. :crying:

This worked for me:
reflash CWM, flash superwipe, install TWRP through goomanager.

i had the same problem on my t989 and this odin flashed version posted here worked fine

I flashed that version through Odin and it seems to be running just fine. I wiped caches and now TWRP appears to be working normally :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Wow I guess I didnt read the critical part where your stuck on the recovery boot screen so the attachment below wont help.... JUMP DOWN TO POST #21 AND FOLLOW IT TO RECTIFY THE GETTING STUCK ISSUE
Here, try this file guys. Someone over in the Jedi threads made a CWM flashable TWRP zip. You can thank me for bringing it to your attention if you want, but I did not create this ( I just clicked on the attachment paperclip for the thread and browsed through all the attachments because I knew I saw it somewhere in the development section...)
I also checked TWRP's own website and for the Hercules, v.2.3.1.1 is the latest version supported for our device so far but I only found 2.3.0.0 packed in a recovery flashable form.
Just flash it via CWM like any other zip and once its done it'll reboot your device automatically to system, so just reboot it back to recovery to make sure it worked. It did for me when I did awhile back with v.2.2.2.0 and I just used the below file to flash and update it in TWRP to v.2.3.0.0
Hope it helps

Same as OP. I have never re-flashed CWM. This was my first time trying TWRP. I am looking for instructions to either...
Re-flash CWM
Re-install a version to TWRP that works
Thanks!

Currently the non-functioning TWRP. I tried flashing CWM from the Rom Manager app, but that froze too. Looking for a reliable fix. I do not have a preference for recovery.

If you have either I guess it doesn't really matter. Just install/flash the attached file below just like you would any other rom via your recovery.
After it installs reboot back into recovery and you will see the old recovery replaced with the latest TWRP for the T989.
Lemme know if this works for ya.

Help with possible corrupted recovery.

Hi guys,
I'm having some issues with my phone. I am using ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 as my recovery. Here is what happened:
I was running the stable version of CM10 (10.0.0). I was having issues with random reboots and it was really laggy sometimes. To try and fix this, I wiped data, cache, davlik, and fixed permissions. After I did this, my phone was stuck in a bootloop. I couldn't get past the cyanogenmod loading screen. I booted into recovery, and restored my phone to a previous CM10 nightly that I had a backup of.
I then tried to flash CM10 again (10.0.0). I followed the steps here (note i did not use the dirty flash method):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754
Once I tried to boot, I was still stuck in a boot loop. So I recovered again to the CM 10 nightly. Now I was using the CM 10 nightly fine, and I was playing a game and the phone froze. I pulled the battery and when I rebooted, I could never get past the cyanogenmod loading screen. So I booted into recovery again. Before I restored again, I saw this error on the bottom:
E: error in /cache/recovery/last_log
I was still able to recover to the CM 10 nightly, and I have since rebooted my phone and it was fine (although it did take longer than normal to boot back up).
So I'm wondering if my recovery has become corrupted? I don't really know what I should do next. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Odin flash CWM, then flash TWRP, and ditch the scripts.

Thanks for the reply. Should I flash the same version of CWM that I'm using now (5.0.2.7)? Or does that not matter?
Also, should we always be using TWRP instead of CWM? I have never used that before.

If you can flash, then just flash the file I provided. TWRP is more stable and used friendly. Ptmr3 recommendeds it. Just flash, reboot recovery and your good!! :thumbup:

Yes, but, you have to use the image file, and be sure to rename it to the proper name. The TWRP image thru the TWRP website. Just double check its for our phone!!

If you want to keep using cwm, then you have to use darksidecachewipe after flashing, right before you reboot from cwm. The darksidesuperwipe script is used to factory wipe.
So before you leave cwm recovery screen flash DScachewipe zip, and should boot fine.
Loop dog is right, go to twrp recovery. Nice UI and no need for wipe scripts.

Thanks for the help guys. Has anyone installed TWRP using Goo Manager? The whole idea of Goo Manager sounds awesome, but one bug on their end would be bad for us.

I've used GooManager to install TWRP on numerous occasions. It has always worked great for upgrading to the latest version, replacing CWM with TWRP, etc.

[Q] Please Help - Boot Loop - Sprint Note 2

I have little experience with rooting and roms, so I am really stuck. I rooted and installed Jellybomb 11.0 back in December. The system updates have been driving me crazy and the phones performance has slipped a bit. Anyway, I was playing around and tried to reboot to recovery and it seems to be in a bootloop. The teamwin screen is on and flashes every 5 seconds or so and I don't know how to get out of it. I tried pulling the battery, no luck.
Please help, thanks.

If u can still boot into jellybomb, I would try reflashing twrp with goo manager. Hit menu and install open recovery script. Also, if u used the tool kit I believe u can flash recovery only from there but u may still want to update with goomanager to be sure u have the latest..

Thanks for the advice, but its over my head. I could get into download mode, but that was it. I gambled on unrooting and reloaded stock 4.1.1 and it worked. It was very buggy for about an hour as many things updated and then smoothed out. Everything is still there. The only thing I didn't have backups of was my texts and that was the only thing I was worryed about losing. So they're backed up now. Tomorrow I'll root it again...

maybe try using odin to install this recovery. use this older version i uploaded and flash it with odin. after you get recovery working, download the new version of recovery in zip format on your computer, transfer it to your phone and install it, reboot to recovery and you should be good to go.

Does it matter what version of Odin to use?
v3.09 or 1.85

Do I put the tar file in BOOTLOADER or PDA?

put it in PDA and uncheck auto reboot and f. reset time and make sure your phone is in download mode first. after odin finishes, pull your battery and put it back in, and see if your phone boots up now.

It booted up within seconds without pulling the battery, right to my home screen!! :good: :good: :good: :good:
As I downloaded the twrp through goo manager I am assuming it only downloaded to my device and not flashed, am I correct on that assumption?
I tried looking for the latest twrp but was forwarded or linked to goomanager.
Might you have the file I can download and flash?

Got it. It flashed without a hitch and my home screen showed up. I found the latest twrp in goo manager folder and flashed that. 'Android is upgrading...' apps are optimizing. I rebooted to confirm the latest twrp flash and I got stuck in the "RECOVERY BOOTING..." bootloader AGAIN!
I flashed the previous version of twrp and im not doing this new one, I realized it's doing me problems.
Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated!!

You are welcome. I would recommend trying Philz Recovery if you want to upgrade your recovery. And I think the reason you are having trouble with Goo Manager download is that it is a bad file or download. I've that problem with Goo Manager too many times so i stopped using it.
