Go here http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/ and download the 5.0.2.0 recovery place the file on the root of your sd card and boot into hboot volume down plus power hboot will find the file and install the recovery. Make sure your sdcard is formated fat 32.

Hi,
this is my first forum post here and I really have a big problem...
I installed a custom rom with rommanager and if I turn on my phone it says touch the android to continue but when I touch it nothing happens
So I wanted to install the original rom I backed up but that is not possible because everytime I go to Hboot and try to open ''install from .zip'' or something in clockworkmod it just shows a black screen and when I hit the power button it goes back to the option menu from clockworkmod, Now I tried to do the things for slcd screen and everything but it doesnt work, when I put the update.zip on my micro sd the Hboot says ''checking sd card... no image or wrong image!'' so I changed my micro Sd card and now when I get into Hboot it just says nothing and when I click on recovery still black screen and not working I really need help asap!!! so is there a way to install my backed up original rom on my htc wildfire with my pc or a way to get clockworkmod working??
Please help asap!!!
Thank you
You should be able to fix your phone by running the exe on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877091
it'd be this one http://www.filefactory.com/file/b4b...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
As long as the setup can detect your phone or if it can't just be at the bootloader screen while running that setup, it should detect that and reboot or switch to RUU mode in bootloader
OK so we rooted my g2x using superoneclick
everything went fine, installed busybox and everything
flashed clockworkmod recovery and backed up my stock rom
installed a custom ROM ( cm7) from Rom Manager premium
went to download google apps but market already had started downloading my google apps like gmail and stuff cause for some reason market and nfs shift and everything were still on my phone ( when we did my friends, they all disapeared )
went to ROM Manager to fix permissions and i get the " cannot access priveleged commands" message, also i cannot boot into clockworkmod recovery to recover OR load a different ROM
basically it seems like i dont have root access or recovery after installing the ROM when i had both before the ROM was installed...
any help as to what happened and how to fix it?

I hate to break it to you but it sounds like you flashed a damaged rom and you were only using a fake flashed CWM. The good news is that this is pretty easy to fix with nvflash. Go to the developers forum and read the threads on flashing CWM through NVFlash. Then restore your backup. This is good to do anyways as it gives you more options in recovering from issues like this.
Also, check your sd card for corruption, I have seen cheap microsd cards that were purchased through ebay cause roms to become corrupted as they were being read. I use test disk and check the disk geometry for errors, that is a good way to discover if you were sold something like a 1GB card that was tampered with to make it look like a 32GB.
That happened to me when I first rooted. I learned that ROM manager was the problem. It wasn't actually installing a rom. Follow this you tube video. This Guy goes into details and shows u step by step on how to flash a rom on the g2x.

i tried using this guide for nvflash

i have the APX driver installed correctly but it keeps failing when trying to flash clockwork
i guess the easy route isnt going to work for me and i need to use this one

______ on a side note .... i exchanged my G2x with a brand new one at the tmobile store .. so im trying the root process all over again but this time without using ROM Manager _________
If you are having problems getting nvflash to work correctly try doing it this way instead of the way he suggests:
1. Plug the USB cord into your computer
2. Hold down the vol up and vol down buttons
3. While still holding buttons down insert battery
4. Without releasing buttons click your desired option in One-Click ClockworkMod
Recovery NvFlasher
5. After the transfer is complete you can release the buttons, unplug the USB, and
remove battery.
6. Then put it together, reboot holding power and vol down. You should now be in
CWM recovery.
I am trying to install Gingervolt on my Lg Revolution and i installed clockworkmod and revotoolkit on my phone but clockworkmod doesnt say my phone? and when i try to install recovery on revotoolkit it says it installs but when i reboot my phone the only thing i ever get is after the Verizon splash screen and after that it just goes to a black screen and i have to take my battery out. i cant get it into recovery mode even when i do it manually. please if anyone knows anything please let me know i've been stuck for about a week.
any luck on this? seems to be the same thing i'm encountering
I'm having a similar issue. I used the LGrevolution all in one package to root my phone. This root package is supposed to also install CWM.
The root package says that it complete successfully and restarts my phone, however only the superuser app is available and no CWM. When I DL CWM on my own it doesn't list my phone when I go to install flash recovery.
I have no clue where to go from here. please advise.
I know I would have a better chance of getting an answer to this if I had access to the forums for my phone. Instead they throw all of us non-regular users into the "we never look here" channel until we make 10 posts. lol
Flashing GingerVolt
I am currently rooted on the LG Revolution, I was wanting to try GingerVolt V1.3 on my phone i understand that you have to download MT's the only question that i have is how do i save the .zip file to my external SD card?
I can get to CWM recovery just fine and back up my current ROM and wipe all current data (Have done it once) but when i go to update from SD there are no files found. What am i doing wrong?
Thank You in advance for any help
idk if this will help but?
you are all correct out phone is not listed this not being fully open for the lg revo but if i remember correctly I just selected the first device on the list it is kinda has a Ect. ect. ect after so that ppl with all other phones can use it too the first one is like the universal if yours isnt on the list? it worked for me now I cant remember what I did and i am sort of a noob at the whole rooting thing but after i did this reboot in to recovery didnt show on the pop up window when i held down the power button so i had to restart i think a few times maybe power off all the way or something you wont hurt it so i say try till it works if you are rooted you wont screw anything up? i havent in a yr of having the phone and i dont really know what im doing still half the time?
LG Revo stuck on CWM-based Recover v5.0.2.7
I was trying to install Gingervolt 2.0 and thought I followed all steps to complete the task but now it's stuck on the CWM menu and I cannot do anything else. I tried formatting and starting over but now it's just stuck on the CWM main menu. Help please! n00b will be a n00b! Won't let me mount external sd card in order to copy Gingervolt 2.0.zip to phone to re-install. I'm pretty sure this is bricking? I have no idea. Thought I read enough to root but missed a step in the process.
UPDATE: Was able to install Gingervolt 2.0 by MTMichaelson, installs files, Writes symlinks and permissions, Replaces kernel, Formats cache and dalvik, unmounts, done.
After that I am stuck on what to do. Please help! Any would be much appreciated!

Well, if you have a rooted phone and you did a factory reset, then u messed things up a bit more. Anyway, get a rom file into the sdcard (using a sdcard reader) and then boot into hboot (power + volume down) choose recovery (if you don't see it choose bootloader) and then get into CWM or the custom recovery you have. Then flash the rom again...if you can't get into recovery then you will have to flash it again....once in recovery I guess you will know what to do....hope it helps...
This is my first thread that i ever needed to start on anything on phones so please understand that i'm REALLY DESPERATE i have looked in a ton of places for this fix and i tried to use clockworkmod and ended up doing that correctly but when i tried to restore it it say i dont have any backups nor recovery files and i tried putting cynagenmod on my sd card but it couldnt find the file and then i tried to use NFFLASH and make it stock android again but nothing happened and ended up stuck on the blue logo screen again. please i dont know what to do
Which version of Cyanogenmod is it? Put it on the root of your SD card. Is it already on the internal storage? I believe when you click "install from .zip" or something of the equivalent there's an option to select "choose from internal storage".
You can boot back into clockwork mod by turning the phone off, holding down the power and volume down buttons until the lg logo with the BLUE background appears, then release.
I was trying to install cynagen mod 7.01 from Rom manager but it froze in the logo screen and so i took out the battery and put it back on and it still continued to do that. After that i used CWM but i didnt have any ROMS to restore it and before it didnt correctly make my backup so i just want to restore it like the way it used to but i dont know where to put it in my sd card

Your sentence is incredibly long. Gave up after the desperate grab for attention. You may have wiped your backups by mistake. It happens. I did it not once, but twice. Give us more info so we can help. ROM, kernel, etc. A list of apps you run on a daily basis would be helpful.

Never use rom manager to install on this phone, you'll continue to run into this problem.
Can you access your phone storage when it's plugged into your computer? If you can, drop CM onto it at the root directory, put it back into your phone, boot into CWM and install the zip.
i think my rom was stock rom 2.3.4 before i tried flashing cynagenmod the apps arent very important to me and i only had this phone for a week because i got too excited about the dual core.
Follow the instructions HERE to the letter. You'll go back to stock and you'll have to root your phone again (if that's what you want to do) but it should get you up and running again.
In future, search, search, and search some more. I assure you, most problems people have had have been discussed and probably solved on these forums.
Welcome to XDA!
What is the name for this process of trying to restore my device from blue logo screen? If i know the name of the issue im trying to fix maybe i can start searching for the guides. I can't really access my internal or sd card when i plug in my usb and i don't really understand what the problem i ran into if its even fixable or not. The link you've sent me for the guide i'm trying right now but i can't just sit here and wait for an hour. Feedback is really appreciated

The whole process (if done correctly) should take but about 15 minutes give or take. What you'll be doing is Flashing Stock Recovery. Download the file provided in the link I gave, and then follow each instruction exactly as it says. Shouldn't be a need to Google any guides as this spell it out for you. Just have read and execute.
If you used NvFlash/One Click Recovery to flash Clockwork Mod to your device then you should already have the APX driver installed on your computer. In that case, half of the battle is already done.
But, if you installed your recovery using Rom Manager, then I would download the APX driver and go through the whole process in the guide I've linked from start to finish.
