Just rooted my phone for the first time, and it went pretty smoothly until I tried to flash ClockworkMod. Nothing happens whenever I try to flash it from ROM Manager. I get a progress bar at the top for a second, then it disappears, and nothing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and can't think of anything else to do.
how did you root? if you used the wiki method you should already have cwm-recovery...
push power & volume - to enter bootloader and then choose the recovery option
if this doesn´t work, post your hboot number... you have s-off? (reason: if you flashed the eng hboot while rooting you can flash the cwm-recovery through fastboot)
command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Go into Terminal Emulator and type "su." If it asks you if you want it to have root permissions, you have root.

I rooted following the wiki.
I'm trying to install roms through rom manager and when I hit download roms it says, "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager First"
Sorry, all of this still confuses me, this is my first time doing this. I don't know what Terminal Emulator is.
ok, i will try to help...
1. download a rom of your choice to pc
2. put it on your sdcard
3. enter recovery (turn the phone off, then press power & volume down - the bootloader will appear, choose the option recovery (volume up and down for moving and tp-wake to choose)
4. in recovery first wipe data & cache & dalvik cache
5. again in recovery choose install from sdcard and select your downloaded rom
6. reboot and have fun...
pls hit the thanks button

The ROM manager and ClockwordMod you have after rooting following the wiki is a VERY old version. It will say you do not have Clockword even if you do have it.
Things to try:
1. Install ROM manager from the market.
2. Reboot into recovery (turn off the phone, then hold down volume and power until you see the HBOOT, choose recovery). If you're in ClockwordMod (which you should) then you're fine.
3. Flash a new recovery through ADB (which what you should definitely learn how to do)
3a. download the newest version of ClockwordMod, copy the img file to the same folder as adb
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
3b. go to settings, make sure that you're in USB Debugging Mode
3c. now, just to make sure you won't brick your phone, turn off the phone, hold down volume and power. If you see the FASTBOOT USB, you're good to go.
3d. open cmd in your computer
3e. type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
in which recovery.img is the recovery image you just downloaded. If you download it from the website I pointed, the command will be
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-vision.img
Now you have the latest recovery. Go to recovery in the HBOOT menu to see the result, enjoy!
Terminal emulator: It will be one of the apps in your apps drawer, named "Terminal Emulator". May or may not be there depends on what ROM you're running.
Check for root using cmd: using command "adb shell", you should see
adb server us out of date, killing...
*daemon started successfully*

Installing ROM: please try not to use ROM Manager, learn how to do it in Recovery at least. Because if you cannot boot to your ROM, runs ROM manager then you're stuck when something wrong happens (which is quite usual if you're flashing). Best way is to copy the ROM to your SD card, reboot to recovery, choose "Install from zip" then pick the zip file of the ROM. (remember to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache in the advanced menu)
Hope that helps!
Edited: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager is down for the moment. I attached the newest G2 recovery img for you. Use either of them. Touch is more advance (and more confusing).
Disregard. Kyra was faster.

I am relatively new to the android rooting scene and have installed a file from zip using clockwork recovery to remove the 3 dot menu from applications but afterward my phone now doesn't boot, its just stuck at the HTC ONE screen i have tried factory reset from clockwork and it didn't work. i am wiling to do anything even if everything is erased and if it could be mac friendly even better but anything is fine

I guess you are on a stock rooted rom?
Seems the version provided in the thread was incompatible with the stock rom version your are currently on:
A few solutions:
1. Search a custom rom in the development threads and flash it, choose an ICS rom though if its a sense rom..flashing a jellybean rom is a bit more advanced and isnt suggested for beginners.
2. If you know which stock rom your are using (1.28, 1.29 or 2.17) you can search for a corresponding rom and push/flash just the android.policy.jar from it back to yoru device - thats the file taht got overwritten when you flashed the 3dot removal zip.
3. If you got a nandroid backup, just revert to your backup in recovery.
...there are a few other solutions, which requires relocking your bootloader etc.
IF your are already rooted I would suggest to flash a custom rom, this is the easiest way to get your oen x back to live and running a custom rom can bring a lot of advantages: better battery life, smoother UI and a lot of stuff that enhances the user experience on the One X.
Cheers, Jan
Restore a nandroid from before you flashed the mod. Or find your relevant ruu, relock your bootloader and run the ruu from your pc

Accessing sd card even if device does not boot is still possible, using adb in recovery mode.
If You have cwm recovery flashed, just boot into recovery, if you dont flash revocery and boot into it.
If You are unable to flash recovery do direct boot into recovery as follows:
You need fastboot binaries and recovery image
1. reboot device into fastboot
2. open command window ( cmd, bash, whatever )
3. use this command "fastboot.exe boot recovery.img" where recovery.img is filename for recovery image
4. You device should be now in recovery mode.
Now, for the magic
You need adb binaries.
1. open command window
2. type "adb devices" this should show device id confirming adb's ability to communicate with device
3. using recovery on the phone mount sdcard
assuming You use clockworkmod recovery:
3.1. select "mounts and storage"
3.2. select "mount /sdcard", if successfull, this entry will change into "umount /scard", dont select it again, leave Your phone on the desk and proceed
4. to copy files to device sdcard, use command window You opened previously,
5. type "adb push FILE_NAME.ZIP /sdcard/FILE_NAME.ZIP" where filename is rom zip or any other file You want to copy.
6. depending on file size, this may take some time, and it will seem line nothing is happening, just let it run for couple of minutes.
7. go back to You device.
8. select "umount /sdcard"
9. select "+++Go Back+++"
10. flash you rom from copied file if You need.

Hi there, I am trying to follow these instructions but when i type adb devices I dont get a device listed at all, please help as I flashed the boot.img right before I was about to install a new rom but the rom had errors and so the installation was aborted and now im stuck in an eternal boot loop.
please help!
ADB commands only work in recovery or when you're booted in Android (not possible in your case). What you need to do is put your phone in fastboot mode and get into recovery from there (plenty of info on how to do that available on these forums).
Once you're in recovery mode ADB devices list should show your device and then follow the rest of those instructions.
If you can't get into fastboot from your bootloop force phone off by holding power button for 5 second, then once off hold volume down only and phone should boot in fastboot

I have an EVO 4G phone that I am trying to root. It has hboot 2.18 and I followed some instructions for that hboot. I used the htc unlock bootloader and it is now unlocked.
I trying to follow this procedure from teramrevolation: http://teamrevolation.forumotion.com/t16-how-to-root-an-htc-evo-4g-with-hboot-2180001?highlight=rooting+hboot+2+18
I am running into difficulty when I get to where I flash a custom recovery. I have put a custom unloader zip file on my SD card. When I enter: adb reboot bootloader the phone turns off and the bootloader opens. I then select boot and that changes the menu to include recovery and I then select recovery. The phone reboots and I get a triangle and an exclamation mark. I then press the volume up and power buttons to get the android system recovery <3e>. I have the followin options listed:
Reboot system now
Apply update from sdcard
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Also lower on the screen in yellow text it says: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
If I select "Apply update from sdcard" and press the power button it doesn't install the update it gives the following message and reboots:
Invalid operation
Success rebooting by reason: oem-00...
I looked around in some forums for the message above and there was a suggestion to enter the following commands, but, doesn't explain what to do with them:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices => which returns HT0A3HL06966 fastboot
fastboot getvar cid => which returns cid: SPCS_001
I take it getting the cid is important, but, I don't know what to do with it???
Place the recovery file on the root of your SD card. Rename it PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension on the end of the file name). Reboot to the bootloader. You should be prompted to update afterwards.

That is what I did. It is named PC36IMG.zip. I did a MD5 check after I copied it to the SD card.
Did you select the bootloader option from the bootloader menu?
You can also push the recovery to your phone via fastboot. Just put the recovery image file in your ADB/Fastboot tools folder and connect via fastboot USB. Use the command "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" to push it to your phone. Also, you don't need to worry about CID with this device, and, further, the menu you're referring to is the stock Android recovery menu.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G LTE
Yes, I did select bootloader.
I'm trying the fastboot flash recovery method now. It seems to have started, there are now error messages after I enter fastboot flash recovery openrecovery_supersonic.img, but, all I see is <waiting for device>. It has been waiting for over thirty minutes.
I may take another approach. My phone is unlocked, but, not s-off. I think I will try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755, starting at step 21 as I've already performed the prior steps.
If I can get it fully rooted with s-off I think I can then install install recoverx, or oneclickroot right from google play store.
Any thoughts?
My EVO is unlocked but S-ON. It;s rooted and had CWM Touch 5.8.0.1 recovery already installed.
I just installed TWRP 2.63 using the fastboot method on a Windows XP computer. do you have the HTC drivers installed? When you boot into the bootloader, then plug your phone into the computer via USB cable, the Bootloader status should change to Fastboot USB.
ran the fastboot flash_image recovery command in it transferred pretty quickly.
Attempted to root phone use ADB and fastboot.
during process noticed difficulty in getting recovery mode open manually and had to use adb reboot recovery, whereupon android recovery picture was there but no menu options.
Could not install TWRP conventionally thus attempted the method shown here.
"NSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install, then select images, then select recovery NOT BOOT, then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery. "
Flashed both twrp image and super-su within the TWRP booted from pc through adb (as shown in the previously mentioned method).
Upon reboot phone has hung at LG symbol. LED is flashing. ADB recognises device as connected however won't respond to reboot requests.
How do i fix this?

Did you hold the volume down button + power button to get to recovery mode manually right after flashing?
Gesendet von meinem ONEPLUS A3003 mit Tapatalk
If you have successfully unlocked the bootloader, you'll get a bootloader unlocked warning every time you boot. On the warning screen, click either of the volume buttons and you'll be redirected to a bootup menu. From there, you can select "boot to recovery" using the volume rocker and power button.
Alternatively, enable "advanced reboot" in developer options and reboot to recovery from the main OS power menu.
If these don't work, reflash TWRP using fastboot. Make sure that you're using at least version 3.0.3-1, best to use 3.0.4-1.
Tried manually reboot into recovery but it just reboots,
I can sucessfully unlock as i have the warning on boot, but there if i go to the menu and press for recovery it just reboots, tried several tipes of recovery TWRP imgs
Any help greatly wanted
Download this version of TWRP (jcadduono's 4.0.3-1). Rename the file to something like twrp.img.
1) Make sure adb/fastboot is working on your computer (if you've already unlocked the bootloader, then I am assuming it is).
2) Put your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your computer. Open a command prompt where you can access fastboot.
3) Put the twrp.img file to the same folder where you opened your command prompt.
3) Enter
Code:
fastboot devices
in fastboot and make sure your phone shows up with its serial number.
4) Enter
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
to erase your current recovery
5) Enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [B]twrp.img[/B]
, where twrp.img is whatever you named your twrp file.
6) Enter
Code:
fastboot reboot
to reboot into your main system. You can either reboot then use advanced startup to enter recovery, or press a volume button at the bootloader warning page to boot directly to recovery.

Sometimes it helps to use fastboot to boot the image directly after you flash it. This ensures you get into recovery since it loads it off your computer.
It should then work normally afterwards
