I am running CM6 and I downloaded ROM Manager from the APPS store. I wanted to a quick way to back up my current ROM. Usually I would power down press home and power at the same time and it would open ClockworkMod Recovery. There I could flash a ROM, perform a Nandroid back up, toggle USB, partition etc... I liked that feature, but I thought ROM Manager would be more convenient since I am suppose to be able to boot in recovery mode from the program.
When I installed ROM Manager and ran it for the first time it installed another program and now I can no longer access the ClockwordMod Recovery by pressing home/power. Even when I chose boot in recover from ROM Manager it just stays stuck on the T-Mobile screen. I have to take the battery out to get it to power off. At first I thought it was just slow, now I realize it's just stuck. If I power down and press camera/power now I get FASTBOOT options. I don't know how to use FASTBOOT. I want ClockworkMod Recovery to work again.
I don't know how to reverse this action. Does anyone know how to do this or how I can still access the ClockworkMod Recovery even with FASTBOOT on my system?
Download a recovery image for your phone.
Command to use is: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Of course, substitute recovery.img with whatever one you want.

ok i am rooted but cannot seem to flash a custom rom. everytime i try to do it it takes me back to the clockwork mod recovery screen instead of the other regular one. i removed rom manager and clockwork off of my sd card but it still doesnt let me do it. i tried manually and using rom manager to flash a custom rom it wipes and restores but when it gets ready to load the rom it stops and takes me back to the recovery screen wtf.....please help me man im ready to throw this ****ing phone....arrrrrghh
You need to have "A" custom recovery installed. Currently there are only two that I am aware of; Clockwork's or Amon's.
You can flash a new recovery via adb but if you are unsure how to do that I would first try to see if you can do it through ROM Manager. ROM Manager is Clockwork's app but if you open it up and scroll to the bottom you will see an option to "Install Alternate Recovery." Selecting this will bring up the option to flash Amon's recovery.
If this is successful, make sure you have the "New.ROM.You.Want.To.Flash.zip" on the root of the sdcard and power down the phone.
Once off, hold the volume down button and then press and release the power button (still holding down the volume down button).
The phone should boot into a white screen with a few lines of text. At this point you can stop pressing the volume down button.
Using the volume up/down buttons to navigate the 4 options and the power button to select, select #2 recovery.
The phone will then boot into Amon's recovery which should be a black screen with green text.
Still using the volume up/down keys to navigate and the power button to select, first go to wipe and do a wipe of "erase data-restore," cache, and dalvik cache.
Once this is complete you can select "Return" to go back to the previous menu and select Flash Zip from SdCard.
Select the ROM.zip you want to flash and when finished reboot the phone.
Marvel at your new ROM
its greyed out. do i have to download amon recovery first?
Copy recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
ok i did this and it told me that it wasnt found and then when i typed in the reboot part it said not permitted.
You obviously did not use ok's instructions above, so what instructions or programs are you trying to use? Clockworks recovery always loads a zip file from the sd card as stated above. Also with this method you do not use a computer at all, maybe to get the zip file to the sd card.

Is Amon the factory? I just want to get my phone back to the factory setting. I tried to unroot my captivate using a one-click app, but it didn't remove the superuser privileges. Do I need to remove this clockworkmod first? If so where can I get this AMON file?
Sorry, I know I probably sound like a moron, but I am new to this Android crap.

no Amon is a custom recovery. try downloading the stock RUU from your service provider and using that. i am not sure if that will re-flash the recovery back to stock, but that is the only thing that i can think of to tell you to try.
When I select backup Rom in ROM manager, it reboots and i get a screen with an exclamation mark with an android bot. Same thing happens when I try to get into recovery with power on + volume up button.
But when I select reboot in recovery from rom manager it works and i was then able to take a back up from there.
What do i do ? Current and latest clockwork version are same according to rom manager. I updated it twice using ROM manager to make sure its the correct one

Tried it. Nothing happens. Have to take battery out. But I can still access recovery by rebooting in recovery from rom manager
Try installing it from the bootloader.
Name the image file recovery.img
Put it in the android sdk tools folder(or wherever your fastboot.exe is) and run the command -
"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Then reboot, it should work.
The android with a "!" is the stock recovery. You don't have to pull the battery at that screen, just press hold power button, then press volume up, you should end up in stock recovery.
In ROM Mgr, FLASH clockwork recovery (twice for good luck, seriously) before trying to boot/backup from ROM Mgr. That should get you going.
The fastboot flash method mentioned above also works.
Part of your issue is that there's a file called /etc/install-recovery.sh that overwrites clockwork recovery with the stock one every time you boot up normally. Rename/delete that file and clockwork will stick after that.

I have found if you to flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager and you already have the same version, it will remove it all together.
just reboot your phone and run the recovery installer once. Right now, it should be version 3.0.0.5. After you run it. Reboot your phone -> hold power + up (or down don't remember) -> select recovery.
If it is there, you should be able to get to it from the Rom Manager link also.

I installed once again. It said no recovery or image found. Installed again, could go into clockwork recovery but after rebooting again the same
renaming install-recovery.sh in etc folder worked Now can I go into clockwork recover on every boot
Is clockwork recovery necessary for all roms or can i download a recovery to my phone?
Well if you could make a recovery based off of something else that had ext. 4 support then you could probably use that. Just the fact that there is already CWM for the MT already makes it easier. If you meant does it need to be installed then yes, you need it installed to flash different roms.
Can CWM be flashed through Rom Mgr? I tried bootloader and mobile and image and recovery img and i think i put in wrong folder. Everytime i try to get back into bootloader with pwr button and vol dwn. It goes right to M screen. How can i fix this?
Ok i get to download mode now where do i put the extracted recovery folder in image? Do i place with recovery img or down at the bottom?. When i take battery out and put back. I pwr and simitaneously vol buttons. I get the triangle !. What am i doing wrong. Oh and im on ver 2.2.2
It's real easy all you need to do is Volume down then power sometimes it's a pain in the ass but keep repeating the steps until you see white writing on the screen, then plug it into your PC, it should bring up a drive called mobile there will be a folder open the folder & replace only the recovery image then reboot. Should be all good. Then press volume up & down & power should boot into clockwork.
Did u install CM7 first?
You can't install CM7 or any other rom "first" using stock recovery. As far as I have seen CWM is the only alternative to the stock recovery.
Hey guys, so I rooted the phone, unlocked bootloader, and try to install the twrp 2.2 on my phone, but i still cant boot into it from the hboot...it just reboots over and over until i turn it off.
I've installed twrp both from the ap and manually by doing fastboot recovery openrecovery-twrp etc etc
Fastboot in the settings is disabled.
I want to ultimately install clearrom4.1 on it and call it a day.
Any ideas? Cheers.

Try installing it from GooManager https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zMHVwLmdvb21hbmFnZXIiXQ..
Open the app, hit menu and install the open recovery from there. Then boot while holding Power + Vol Down (or adb reboot recovery)
Edit: I'm stupid and can't read. I didn't notice that you already installed using the app...Try it again though and then adb reboot recovery to see if you can get there. Once you install a custom rom there should be an extended power menu where you can boot into recovery directly.
I'm sure you did but just asking, on goo manager, did you install " open recovery script" ?

In power settings turn off fastboot. The turn off phone and boot into hboot.

Hi, i have a start 101 tablet with a Cortex-A9 cpu, a WM8850 chipset and a Mali-400 GPU and i do have root, it has android 4.0.3, im not very good in these things but i wanted to install google apps on this tablet, i already found a site that gives some links to some zip files for every android version, but i don't know how to install them. The site that gave those zip said that you need to boot into the recovery of the device and press install from zip, but the problem is that my recovery doesn't have any menu on it.
So 2 days ago i tried finding a way to boot into the recovery, holding the power button and volume up do not take me to the recovery, they take me to a screen which says "do you want to do system recovery? press power button before 10 seconds to confirm" and if i press the power button the tablet factory resets, if i wait 10 seconds the tablet shuts down, i also tried holding the power and volume down buttons but they just took me to normal android.
Now yesterday i found a way to boot into the recovery by using an adb command or by using an app called "Reboot manager ROOT", but the problem is that when i use abd or this app and reboot to the recovery, an android robot with a red triangle appears without any menu on it, and searching this on the internet i was told to basically press power and volume up / down untill a menu appears but i can't get this menu to show up, and since there is no menu if i hold the power button to reboot im stuck into this boot to recovery loop unless i factory reset which works and takes me back to normal android, so then i was thinking that maybe the recovery in this tablet does not exist but is that possible? im not very experienced with this but i also found out about custom recovery yesterday, so after like 5 hours on the internet i found a cwm recovery for my chipset and i saw a video on youtube that said that if you had a twrp/cwm recovery for the same chipset of your android device you can make a custom recovery for your device, the video i followed is this:
so i made this custom recovery img file now but how can i flash it? or can i just use the recovery that is already into my tablet to install the google apps?
because i searched the internet a bit and it seems that for flashing a recovery you need to go to the bootloader but i can't access this thing for some reason, power + volume down takes me to normal android so then i tried adb reboot bootloader but it also takes me to normal android, then i also tried the same app i used to reboot into recovery (reboot manager root) but pressing the reboot to bootloader buttons also does not work (it asks for root permission, i press allow and then it reboots to normal android) same with the reboot to download mode button, then as a last attemp i downloaded an app called "flashify" which basically allows to flash recovery, zip and etc, so i first tried to flash the recovery but pressing the button choose file made the app freeze, so then i tried the flash zip option to maybe flash google apps without recovey, but after choosing the zip it gets stuck at downloading 92% and the app freezes and it doesn't seem to have installed the google apps, do you know if there is any way to boot into this bootloader to flash this cwm recovery or maybe any way i can get the normal recovery to work?
thanks for the help!
