How to install clockwork mod on latest update

AT&T had to swap out my e980 after my charger port failed. The one they gave me has the newest update install (E98020g).
I have successfully rooted it with no problem, however when I try to install CWM using the freegee method which is what I used on my last e980 it fails.
When I boot freegee I get.
Error
Exception thrown waiting for command to finish
Error
Your aboot is not supported on software version: E98020g
Is there another way to install CWM on the newest update?

2 choices, tot back to 4.1.2, or find the apk to install cwm.

Is there a walk though to tot

I tried the apk method using http://www.andromods.com/apps-mod/how-to-install-cwm-recovery-on-lg-optimus-g-pro-e980.html but it did nothing .
I did find this one but dont want try it unless someone can confirm that it works

I too just got a new e980 4 days ago. I had more problem get it to root than installing the recovery. I had to used root master instead of script rooting that many used. Once it was rooted I had no issue installing the recovery with free gee. Try rom manager, it dowloads the recovery than install on your device. Else you can try download the img file from cwm site and use adb and fastboot to install it. If you have problem install the recovery even with the rom manager, I check root again and make sure it is properly done.

How did you root your phone? Did you use the script where you have to run a dos batch file? That didnt work for me because att locked the boot.img file or something, I had use something called root master instead. Check again and make sure you are properly rooted.

Do you have a link for the root master method. Im going to do a factory reset and start from scratch using your method. I want to get back on the BeanStalk Rom

There you go! Just click on the down load link that begins with "vroot". Since the instruction is in Chinese, you probably should watch some youtube videos that show you how to install the program. Justdo a youtube search on master root.

Did you reboot after installing the GPRO apk? If so that's what's wrong. This method worked flawlessly for my E980!

Do i need to delete my old recovery ( clockwork mod) or do anything to that recovery before flashing this one?

Your best bet is to flash that mod twrp. If it fails,I suggest u flash that ruu

can someone help me i cant boot into recovery, and apps are still FCing.

Symptoms:
-Unable to boot into recovery/bootloader
-Force closes system app or installed apps
-Stored settings changes on reboots
-Random reboots while phone is idle
-Constant reboots while restarting it and doesn't know when it will boot normally.
All above mention symptoms are related to HARDWARE FAILURE! Bare in mind that not all of them you'll see it on your device. But any of one you face,will might probably having chance of hardware failure.
You or here on xda users can't resolve your issue. So don't try anything from now on wards. Use it as is. Or sell it and move to another device.
Unless you have some local cheap repair shops where they might evaluate the issue then fix it that way,rather than calling into HTC service center.
And i forgot to mention, you probably have question in mind, How i know? My device is dying too. It reboots constantly before it boots normally,though it works fine. So symptom may vary device to device but cause is the same.

[Q] Htc Desire HD with exclamation marks in each corner

As the title says, the phone gets stuck at a screen with HTC in the middle and 4 exclamation marks in each corner. I read on many forums that this might be a hardware problem(radio brick or something like that).This happened after a factory reset. Any ideas? Can this be fixed by flashing an RUU? In other words, is this a software problem?

That was while ago, but i don't think so. Why? What's the difference?

Cuz resetting that via bootloader will partition your SD card and internal SD on your device.

Does that really matters? Sorry if this is a stupid question, i'm new to htc.
All I want for now is to make the phone to boot normally. So do you have any ideas? What should I try to do first? Can I fix it?

The drivers are ok. I can even run fastboot commands. So what should i do next? If I download an WWE RUU it will be good? My cid is: 11111111 but i can't find an RUU that matches the main-version (I belive is the radio). I don't want to install the wrong RUU because i heard you can hard brick your device (radio brick, etc...).

I ran a GB RUU but i said that is not the correct RUU for my device. I tried another one and i get error 120 (low battery). Now the phone is charging. I'll wait a few hours for the phone to charge. When i press vol+ and power button it vibrates 3 times, when i press both vol buttons and power butoon it vibrates 5 times. Is it ok? Please I need a quick fix because I need the phone to make&receive calls.
List of used commands:
-fastboot oem boot -- this boots the phone and after HTC logo it shows a white screen. I could use ADB from there but now i can't do that anymore.
-fastboot flash system system.img
-fastboot flash boot boot.img
-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fastboot flash zip rom.zip
None of these commands worked. Fastboot fails... Maybe is my cable (not an HTC one, i don't have an HTC cable and i don't know if i can get one from someone, but it should work with every microUSB cable because the PC detects it).
I have Android Studio (SDK) installed, HTC Sync + HTC Driver installer (i belive those 2 work together), Java 7 u 71 + Java SDK 7 u 67. Maybe the programs might be the problem.
I am counting on you: XDA members!

I am currently running again the GB RUU, I don't know the version and it started the process. I am at 40% updating the HBoot. Its stuck here now, maybe i have to give it time. On the Desire HD I can see a progress bar. Its at 70% i guess. Lets hope this is working. I'm going to try your method if mine fails.

I am stuck at this point. Should I let it continue? 10 mins already...

Ok. I stopped that one. I found on that site my stock image version 1.80.502.3. The radio does not match correctly, let's hope is ok. I am going to try this. I can't find a 3.20 RUU there...
Edit: the 1.80 version didn't work. I get error 158. Right now i think i need to find the best RUU for my device. I am thinking... : "If i can't find the right one?" I hope 1 works... Any ideas though?

Did you run that 2.47 yet?

If it doesn't work, your bootloader might have an error, or it was partitioned somehow. Did u ever factory reset from the bootloader?

It didn't work. But how that GB RUU worked after it gave me the same error? Those RUUs work when they want to... I didn't factory reset the phone. A friend did it by mistake but i don't know exactly from where.. I can't belive that i might not be able to fix it. Can i do something with fastboot commands? Is it fully bricked?

If u can access bootloader it isn't bricked. Search xda for flashing that GB via bootloader. Don't forget to rename that GB file

HI
First of all thanks for helping. How do you flash the phone as only a novice at this.
This is a running ASUS ZenFone 2 ZE551ML v 5.0. The phone is rooted and i made backups onto the sd card
but do not know how to reverse the operation.

Why leave XDA? Here's all the info needed in one thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
You can also get the latest pre-rooted firmware, sorry 2.20.40.63 not 40.90, from the pre-rooted firmware thread in Original Android Developement...

It's the same end result, xda thread ultimately finished up at chinaphonearena site, it is shakalaka who compiled the roms, so either is a good choice.

Is my phone bricked? Please help.

Okay, so I'm another person who OTA updated their rooted Zenfone 2.
ADB won't detect the phone. I've tried different ADB installations on three different computers. I've tried updated the drivers and everything. I've tried different USB cables.
My phone unfortunately has the stock Android recovery utility. There doesn't seem to be an option to install a rom from SD.
I've accepted that the phone is bricked. But I thought I would make one last effort on here before I go and buy another phone. Is there anything else I can do?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Can you boot up the bootloader?

Then follow the guide to change from CN to WW in this forum and you should be able to flash the current ROM and solve your brick
