I've tried to flash multiple roms on my HTC Dream (t-mobile G1). Every time I flash something other than Cyanogen or complete Ecalir it says that there is an error on the SYSTEM busybox. I have the newest recovery mode on my phone. Can anyone tell me what i can do to fix this?

So i have rooted my phone using Bubby's one click. have cwm 3.x.x.x installed whatever the latest is and also have Cm7 rc2 running. I am trying to get into recovery to flash a different GB rom but everytime i try from Hboot AND rom manager, it just gets stuck at a black screen and nothing happens. does anyone else have this problem? if so, how can i fix it!
Also, I should state that I am using whatever radio was pushed to my phone during the rooting process. Also stock kernel.
Check the faq's in buddy's thread.
i have samsung vibrant with 2.2 stock rom updated via kies. after update i rooted it with superoneclick. and i got superuser app on. then i downloaded rom manager and installed clockwork recovery, in rom manager it says what version is installed and everything but everytime i go to recover it shows me stock samsung recovery mod. so clockwork isn't actually installed. and when i try to flash custom rom via rom manager it goes to samsung recovery mod does somethings and just reboots to normal rom that im running. can anyone tell me what's missing or what am i doing wrong?
Same here
I'm having the same issue. I have SU in apps and Rom Manager has SU permissions. Thanks in advance for any helpful advice.
found a fix. lemme know if you need any help. the step with 3e whatever was weird but just follow the link and download. after doing the shell thing in superuser (don't reboot) run the 3e thing you just downloaded... should be a dos type user interface.

Can't go back to stock Samsung Vibrant ROM!!
“I'm in a similar situation... I've been trying to go back to stock ROM by flashing several new stock kernel images, but i need to find a fool proof way to flash back to stock. The newer stock kernel images are not allowing me to mount the necessary files - I'm not able to find the older stock kernel images without any of the mounting issues.
"E: Can't mount/dev/block/ST110
(Invalid Argument)"
"E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount DBDATA: copy default media content failed."
Any one has an answer/solution to this? THANKS”
Did you try installing busybox.. then try installing amon-ra's recovery in rom manager or at boot screen.. the screen where you can select fastboot or recovery and stuff

I have been using Odin 1.7 to flash the stock images. None of the newer stock kernel images have been working for us, hitting us with mounting issues. Now we cannot even get past the standard bootloader and do not have the luxury of a custom recovery. We need an old but reliable stock kernel without mounting issues so we can at least get past the bootloader.
I have a HTC Desire, and rooted long ago with Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7. Recently I want to upgrade it so I download Rom manager and start flashing the newest version 5.x from the menu.
However It's still showing 2.5.0.7 when I boot to the recovery even though the rom manager already said 5.x.
I tried o re-root with Unrevoke method, and add the newest img file but still doensn't help, the annoying 2.5.0.7 still showing.
Is there anyone that faced this problem before ? Please give me a hand... i'm really lost.
Try flashing the recovery img from your pc.
Thank you, but It turns out that the CM only works after I S-OFF my phone. Problems solved after hours trying to S-OFF
glad you sorted it
I have a HTC Desire, which I rooted using Unrevoked.
This updated my recovery to ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 - which was great and I was able to backup/restore/apply new roms. Also ROM Manager worked and I could use that application to access the recovery modes/scripts.
ROM Manager then got updated, including the ClockworkMod (5.0.2.0). Now ROM Manager fails to run any of the scripts when starting in recovery mode.
When I manually boot in to recovery, I am still on the 2.5.0.7 version and not the latest. I've tried applying the 5.0.2.0 update - which updates for that boot, but on a reboot reverts back to 2.5.0.7.
So, my questions are;
- To update my recovery program do I need S-OFF? Currently still have S-ON.
- If S-OFF, will a simple 'apply update from sdcard' update it?
Thanks, A

HTC Desire (Bravo) - ICS 4.0.3 CM9, b0.2.5 ROM.
Samsung Galaxy 10.1 - Stock ROM.
I have S-ON on my Hero and I always updated my recovery. I don't think it would be a problem.
Don't use rom manager. Just copy the file to your SD and flash it manually trough recovery (flash/install zip from SD), it should work.
Thanks.
but.... nope! It's stuck on ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7! As I said I can flash it to 5.0.2.0 and use it, but next time I enter recovery it's back to 2.5.0.7!
If it's not S-ON that's causing it, could it because I rooted with Unrevoked? Some how that's locked it to 2.5.0.7?
Thanks, A

It could be unrevocked, but not sure. I rooted a Desire owned by a friend but with S-OFF.
He never had any issue.

Same problem
I have the same problem.
Some help?
Thanks
O.
same here...tried everything!
Same here.
Rom Manager fails. (says it's worked, but upon boot to recovery it's the same 2.5.0.7
Rom Toolbox just fails and admits it.
I tried following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608042 thread, and tried basically the same thing via the android-terminal as well. Every time it fails.
When trying via the terminal (android or adb) I get erase and write fails, and a run out of memory error. I would like to update CWM so that I can partition the SD using the phone.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
The Answer
Well I found the answer for me. My problem was that I still had S-On and had to get that to S-Off as apparently my phone (HTC Desire) has an advanced security feature put on by HTC that stops you writing to /System, which is a necessary location to write to to update CWM. I got S-Off by using revolutionary, which was pretty noob friendly despite the scary words on the page. (google for revolutionary s-off)
Revolutionary just requires the HBOOT version and the Serial Number of the phone, which you find under the battery. DLed the fastboot drivers as they recommended as well. Once I got S-Off, I was able to use Rom Manager to update the CWM to 5.0.2 or whatever the latest is now.
Hope this helps you as it did me.
PS I have previously tried re-running unrevoked whilst the phone had BCM ICS (CM9), which didn't work (error was "is your firmware too new?"). I then downgraded to CM 6, and tried again with unrevoked, but the Rom Manager still wouldn't upgrade CWM. I checked HBOOT and as suspected still had S-On...Revolutionary is your answer methinks
so which CWM RECOVERY is latest without S-OFF and with option to partition SD EXT2/3/4 etc? thanks.
Hi every i've been trying to flash my tmobile HTC ONE S to ParanoidAndroid JellyBean v2.13,fromt this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890464
I unlocked(still s-on), rooted, and tried a couple different recoveries (CWM 5.8.31,5.8.24,5.8.15 etc. and TWRP 1.7, 2.2)
what I did was first unlock,then flash recovery, and root, then flash boot.img from the ROM package, and install from SDcard. However everytime I get a Status 7 error messege, and installation fails...
And one time I tried to install from CWM ROM manger from Google Play in the OS, still failed after it reboot and goes in to recovery.
Some people on the web says that this means I need a different or newer recovery, but I've probably tried all the main and newest versions.....
pls help! thnx in advance!! =)
nvm!!! I was stupid enough to download the ROM version for HTC ONE X..hahaha..
