To use clockwork, you can reboot recovery and Rom Manager, or cold boot into recovery (power off phone, power back on while holding both volume keys). If you cold boot into recovery you need to select apply update.zip and it will launch ClockworkMod.
the apply update.zip doesnt do anything
have you tried to use ROM Manager?
no idea what that is but keep in mind i can not do anything on my phone at all, everything force closes only thing i can do is mount and unmount
clockwork wont really help in this case then. Clockwork allows you to make a nandroid backup that you can restore in an instance that something fouls up. I know with the droid 2 we can do something called a SBF flash which will do a factory restore to the phone. Sorry I cant be of more assistance for this issue. Best of luck buddy.
put a custom rom on your SD card, boot into clockwork and then flash the custom rom from sd card

i was using rom maneger, downloading roms ans stuff.. so the phone asked to be rebooted and i did.. and now im stock on the white screen with the htc logo in the middle.. plz help me!!
I'm assuming you can still boot into hboot? If so, you can copy a new ROM to your SD card and then install from there.
>Vol Down
>Power on while holding Vol Down
>Select Recovery and you should get CWM
>Install zip from SD card
>Choose zip from SD card
If CWM isn't working for you, then you can install this ROM as it autoloads through hboot:

If you can't get into hboot, then you probably have fastboot enabled. Pull the battery and then you should be able to >Vol Down and >Power to get there.
Thank you so much i couldnt go into recovery so i installed the rom that you said and its working fine!!
Dont worry this is not a problem. You probably have the wrong recovery image. Flash CM7 Cryangenmod 7 from the dev section. Once in there open rom Manager and flash recovery 2.1.3.5 at the bottom of the app.
steps
1 pull the battery, then put it back in
2 Hold the vol button down at the same time you are holding the power button.
3 Select recovery
4 Select CM7 from the sd card and flash it.
5 once it starts up flash the other recovery.
6 Now flash the rom you wanted from your sd card.
7 before you do Make sure you wipe everything. Card Partition, Dalvik, data factory reset.
New to all this rooting and flashing ROM's and need some serious help since I can't figure it myself. I'm running a HTC Droid Eris, Firmware 2.1, have it rooted, and ROM manager. When I go in to back up my ROM, it reboots, then the screen comes up with a red /!\ over a phone. This also happens when I try to install a new ROM as well. I don't know what's going on or how I can fix this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all your time.
I think you should fully wipe your phone.
When you reinstall new rom without wipe may cause some unexpected error.
I can't even back up my Rom on there right now. By the way, how do I fully wipe my phone? Thanks for all the help.
Did you press flashclockwork recovery in RM first? And about that /'\ when you hold volume down and power youll get a menu then you should select recovery, once there youll see /'\ then you should hold volume up and power and then youl be in stock recovery. Once you have flashed a successful clockwork recovery image through RM , you might have to either select reinstall packages twice through your stock recovery first before clockwork will kick in. If you dont have that option in stock recovery, then just enter stock recov twice and the clockwork should overide the stock. If that doesnt help search amon ra's ( custom recovery )for your device videos of this are on theunlocker.com

Did you use Titanium Backup? Great app btw.. And Rom manager, you used the Clockwork recovery mod correct? That's how I flash.
I did click on Flash Clockwork Recovery a few times, but can't find where it says to reinstall packages. I tried volume down and power, but didn't see a menu that says recovery. I'll try to find something on the unlocker. Thanks for the help. Hope I can get it to work.

Be very careful with Titanium. It's a great app, and very useful for a lot of things, but many users have had problems when restoring apps.
A general rule of thumb is when switching ROMs, try to restore as little apps+data as possible. App only is usually the best route.
I was experiencing many ROM issues on multiple ROMs after restoring, even only apps without data. Now I just use titanium to freeze apps, detach apps from the market, and uninstall apps. I reinstall all my apks directly from the saved files on my SD card.

Make sure your phone is off before the volume down+power to boot into recovery. If that doesn't work and it only makes the phone reboot itself, battery pull first, then volume down+power. That should get you into recovery.
If you still have a lot of problems with CM, try amon-ra instead.

I copied a ROM to my SD card, but when I go in to Apply sdcard:update.zip, I get the following:
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:failed to open /sdcard/update.
zip (no such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Why does this happen?
After I hold the power and vol up buttons in stock recovery this appears too.
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Are you using clockworkmod by RM? Or you doing this all by stock recovery. In rom manager. Flash clockwork, then below that is reboot into recovery try that and see what you get. Also, if you flashed clockwork via rm, you should see an update.zip file. On your internal sd. Do you have that on your internal SD. And are you putting the rom file on your internal sd?
Sent from SGS Captivate CM7 or MIUI with Escapist orTKGlitch using XDA premium app.
I did all that and still get this (E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command). I downloaded the ROM I want on to my computer, then copied it to my sd card, but nothing seems to work. I even went in to RM and tried to get the ROM straight from the sd card and keep getting that message. What am I doing wrong? Would Verizon help me if I took it in? Also, if there is anyone in Beaverton Oregon willing to help me, that would be awesome so they could see it hands on. Thanks for all the help and info.
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.
Hi, would like to go back to stock and am having problems getting into fast boot. I installed the original image file on my sd card it goes into fast boot and apears to begin to flash the recover after a couple of second it has the android laying down with the exclamation point. Anybody have any ideas? I am currently rooted and boot unlocked.
Are you running a recovery or flashing the recovery image ?? If you are running the recovery, make sure you have the power lead in !

No, I am trying to install the original recovery thru the SD card. I hold down the power + vol up button to get the recovery file to update the original recovery but get the android with a exclamation point. It wont install the recover zip. I have renamed it to recovery.zip, but still not working?
So I rooted my phone and installed Clockwork Recovery. I tried installing a new rom and ended up bricked into it, the phone wouldn't boot in and would get stuck on the boot animation. So i tried re-locking the boot loader and flashing back to ruuu, it would not work and give me error messages. I tried to fast boot recovery but that failed to. Also in clockwork recovery my sd card can't be mounted. I tried a few other things and now my phone is stuck in clockwork recovery. I can't go back into hboot and cant booth the phone either. Every time I power it off then back on it goes back into clockwork and I cant do anything there since it cant mount the sd card. Please help.
