I am currently using cyanogen 7 and I wanted to try stock but...... I can get into bootloader but I don't know how to flash a new rom without Clockwork Recovery. And even with cwr it will try to boot into recovery and just hang on the Google screen with the padlock unlocked. I tried several things but I just don't know if I can flash thru adb? I'm brave but still a noob.
ive lost my clockwork recovery before... youll just need to reflash it(via fastboot, adb, or the terminal emulator included in cm7).
How do I go about it? Again I'm a noob at figuring this out..step by step set-ups anywhere? Thanks.

via terminal emulator
download and put the recovery on the main part of your "sd" storage. rename it rec.img for ease. then open your terminal emulator app and type..
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/rec.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

or via fastboot(instructions in the development section here in the many threads on rooting/unlocking the bootloader)
Many Thanks! Will do.
Went thru all the steps-all good. The problem again is when I reboot and try to go "into recovery" I have no success. My phone freezes or just stays in the Google start up screen.The bottom keys do not light up; i.e. home,menu,back. unlike a regular restart. Ugh.
My phone refuses to go into recovery mode...after several different attempts. Hangs on GOOGLE screen after I attempt to go into recovery from the fastboot screen. Any idea anyone?

Do you mean the screen with an exclaimation mark with android bot ? If yes then press volume up and then press and hold power button, you will go into stock recovery.
If no, pardon me
Which clockwork mod have you flashed? When I flashed to 3.0.0.5 I would get stuck at the Google screen. To remedy this go into rom manager scroll to the bottom and select all clockwork mod recoveries and flash the 3.0.0.0 hope this helps.

This is happening to me. I get the exclamation mark screen and the button combination you mention above doesn't do anything. Version of clockwork is recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.
I don't really understand how, in this situation, i could go back to stock or flash a custom rom. Hope somebody can help.
That did it! I downgraded to 3.0.0 from the latast cwr....Thank you all for your help and input!

He gave you the key combo backwards.
To get to fastboot, volume up, then power.
From fastboot, select reboot recovery.
When phone gets to the android "!" it is press/hold POWER first, then volume up.

distortedloop,
You the man - you the MAN!!
That works and I was able to go in and have a look at what was on the sd card from there. I don't have anything I want to flash on there, but i really wanted to know how I would do it.
Is that the standard google recovery i'm seeing, or is it still clockwork? Writing was blue, and going by what I read it must be google one as apparently you need to re-flash clockwork every time you are going to use it (or something like that).
God I hate going through the noob stage. I remember doing it with computers, and now it's my turn with android.

That is standard recovery from Google.
Clockwork currently has orange text, and does not require any fancy key combos to get into it, it just boots up directly.
Android 2.3.1 and up have a new script added to the normal boot process that overwrites any custom recovery images with the current stock recovery. Some think it's a safety feature, most think it's an annoyance.
If you want clockwork permanently, and there's no reason you shouldn't, in my opinion, then rename the file /etc/install-recovery.sh by adding .bak or something to the extension. This will prevent that script from running. Then, the next time you flash clockwork (whether through fastboot or via ROM Mgr), clockwork should stick.

Nightlies are pretty much stable, don't let 'nightly' dis encourage you. But if thats not good enough, you can download CM7 RC1. Yes theres a RC now. It's been out of alpha for a long time, they just didn't officially announce a 'beta' but unofficially (off the books) nightlies #1-40 were betas.
After RC1, the nightlies reset back to #1.

Ok, here's official clockworkmod and ROM Manager support
First, use odin or redbend_ua to flash this kernel:
http://koush.tandtgaming.com//samsung/epic/zImage2
Then, open up ROM Manager and flash recovery (choose Epic!).
All done!
Note, using reboot recovery or adb reboot recovery will take you to a "stock" recovery. Simply apply the update.zip on your SD card and clockworkmod will start up. (This method is better known as fakeflash)
Starting up recovery through ROM Manager will take you directly into clockworkmod.
How this works for those that want to develop on this further and create kernels that are ALSO clockworkmod compatible:
I extracted a initramfs from a stock recovery. I modified recovery.rc and fota.rc to allow adbd (and other small fixups). I modified default.prop to enable adbd and root shell. I replaced /res/keys with a test signed version to allow applying update.zip files.
Here is my epic initramfs:
http://github.com/koush/epic_initramfs
One can build clockwork directly into the kernel if they so choose. Simply take the update.zip on your SD card and pack those files into the initramfs as well. I chose not to do this because I am lazy.
Thank YOu..
Nice to see you in the Epic thread Koush..
We now feel at home.. Thank You..
Thank you Koush. Donation sent for your hard work. Please no Drinking and Driving unless you have autopilot! lol
If you happen to use
Quick Boot that will also bring you to stock recovery. You can use the same steps to get to clockwork recovery
Using the volume down key press and navigate to the
apply sdcard:update.zip and push the home button this will But it will bring you to clockwork recovery. AFTER it installs the UPDATE.ZIP that is located on your SDCARD. DO NOT DELETE THE UPDATE.ZIP After its finished you will now be presented with clockwork recovery
You can use the volume adjust keys to navigate the options and press the CAMERA BUTTON to select an option
note: pressing any of the bottom row keys seemsto shut off the screen and turn it back on. so do not push
Thanks for your awesome work as well as everyone else who worked on this with you.
So what happens if update.zip get overwritten? You can't get into the clockworkmod after that right?
What do I about the n00bNL version 32 clockwork mod that's currently on the phone?
Thanks!

Good question I am not sure of. I would imagine all you would have to do is boot into the phone normal and re-install recovery thru rom manager? or even power off and do the camera power down and power button? Ill check that one
as for getting this installed
Flash that kernel thats posted as directed and follow the instructions
Yes you can delete the update.zip and just power down the phone and use the three key method
interesting though is that you have to use the old KEY MAP METHOD of power H key and smilie etc etc
lol

Well what I did was remove the update zip off my sd card, flash the mixup kernel and restarted my phone. I then turned it off, pressed the 3 buttons and it took me back into cockwork recovery build 32 version
Afterwords, I reflashed the clockwork kernel, and installed clockwork via rom manager
Just push it back over again. Adb still works in stock recovery too now.

I've never used Odin before, but according to the instructions. All I would need to load is the PIT file and the zImage from the first post then update it, correct? is the zImage a stock boot image since the clockwork update.zip isn't installed yet. Is this boot method different from n00bNL's version? I'm just trying to understand the boot process. Thanks.
To make my own "oneclick installer" could I just take noobnl's clockwork installer (version 32) and replace the zimage with the one posted here?
I don't think that website is working... tried this mrn.ing and just now tried again... >.
I also get the error downloading message
The kernel isnt even under the .tar format thus odin doesnt even recognize it...whats a guy to do?

That's the stock recovery - hold power and hit vol up to get the menu.
I've been doing that, but nothing happens.
I did a battery pull, and it rebooted in 2.3.4
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need to change something before trying the update again?
Hold power and slide from volume down to volume up. But that wont do u any good you need to flash a custom recovery and reflash super user.

Is there a way to do this without losing all my app info/game saves?
I was going to run a TItanium backup.
And sorry, I'm a total noob with this.
ROM Manager, would I flash an older ROM or the ClockworkMod Recovery?
At that point could i just install the update and re root with Shabby Penguin's one click and then get all my app data back from Titanium backup?

Nothing is goofed up if you rebooted into 2.3.4.
The update did not apply. Did you receive the OTA or download it manually?
If you are unlocked just flash CWM via fastboot and apply it from there.
If you are locked then you can go back into the stock recovery, hold power down and hit vol up (in that order) to get the menu and apply the update. You may want to ensure it is in the root of the sdcard and named update.zip.
The OTA does not wipe nor is a wipe necessary, so you shouldn't be losing any data/apps.
I got the update OTA, but not it's not asking me if I want to apply it.
I'm sorry I'm such a noob here, but step wise.
If I boot up with Vol UP, I can then go to Recovery and get to ClockWork Recovery.
From there do I just hit update from SD card?

Yeah, choose apply update. Choose your zip from the SD card and apply.
It will go through a series of asserts and then apply if it passes. If you've modified any of the checked system files, boot image or kernel it's likely going to fail.
Well, I didn't alter any of them on purpose
I used Shabby Penguin's one click root so I could use Titanium Backup only. (Although now I'll probably add tethering to the list) So I don't think I changed any kernel files.
It's saying it can't find the file. Whatever downloaded must have gotten deleted somehow. I may just download the update and do it myself like everyone else.
Just to clarify. I place the update.zip in the root and select apply update on the ClockWorkMod Recovery, and that's it?
I was waiting to just get the update OTA organically hoping it would avoid these problems, lol.

In CWM use the choose zip file from SD card option, then you can pick the file regardless of it's name.
That's it - if you are stock (other than rooting) it should apply without any issues.
You may need to reflash CWM and delete /etc/install-recovery.sh to keep CWM installed. I haven't looked at the update itself to see if it is installing the script to reflash the stock recovery.
I had this problem too. I rebooted and its back to 2.3.4. I will attempt to go to 2.3.5 today once I have more time and post my findings here. If anyone has any success please keep updating this thread.
It looks like I have to reflash CWM in order to restore Super User.
My bootloader is still unlocked, but it won't let me run/install CWM. How do I do this?
Jagar, I did finally figure this out after reading through the code in the rooting .bat that Shabby Penguin put together.
basically his file has the Clockwork Recovery image that you need.
Boot up in bootloader.
then type
fastboot flash recovery ______.img whatever image you have.
Then select RECOVERY on the bootloader menu and now you can install the superuser.zip file to re-root.
you might wanna just run the new one click again, make sure its version 2.0.. it will do teh dirty work for ya
Seriously Shabby, big props to you for automating that process. I learned much more from your code than reading through all those other posts
@gnuf99 although you succeeded in getting root , please do read the guides abt adb and fastboot. This will be always handy for you, indifferent of the device you'll use later.

Installing Clockworkmod Recovery DOES NOT root your ROM. When you are in Clockworkmod Recovery it is running as root. But if you want your stock ROM rooted you need to flash my root zip in Clockworkmod Recovery. My root zip roots your phone by installing "superuser.apk" and "su" and setting the appropriate permissions. The link is in my signature to my rooting thread.
Thank you!
Cool. I got it.. Thank you
Hehe. It took me like 2 hours to flash cwm since i thought i had to get to the "software upgrade" screen before i could press flash. I gave it a shot in the end and hoped for the best. And bam. It worked.

You need to use the NVFlash (search for it) method and install CWM Recovery to the physical recovery partition on the device. The method you used fake flashes recovery and you can not boot into recovery by pressing keys.

No, that method is dangerous and if you do the command line wrong you can brick your phone. Look for the "One Click Recovery Flasher" in the development section for the G2X on this forum. It automates the process and makes it much safer to flash.

ok so your phone powers up into a bootloop is that right?
Do you ever see a screen after the HTC screen with the red writing on it? If you do, plug in the phone and open a command prompt. I assume you have ADB installed. If you don't see the link to ADB/Fastboot in my signature.
Anyway, when you see the screen after the HTC screen with the red warning on it, type adb reboot recovery. THAT should get you back to twrp and let you ref reflash.

I've seen how to back up practically everything n the Sensation, with the exception of the stock recovery. How can that be done? I'm surprised I have not seen any mention of it.
Also, can the bootloader be customized? That super bright white screen is very annoying to look at.

AFAIK you can't backup the stock recovery
as far as i remember somewhere here is the stock recovery.img
just search it
about bootloader yes you can change the bootscreen but you have to be on S-OFF

Hi, I did search for it but only only found the stock rom and some stock apps. I read in another forum that you can back up the stock recovery using clockworkmod by booting directly into clockworkmod using fastboot on your PC instead of flashing it to the phone. I'll have to try that.
I already have the phone s-off :victory: How can I go about modifying the bootloader?
Also, how can I go about creating a theme for a ROM? I have CM11 installed and I'd really like to make a theme that makes it look as close to stock as possible.

type custom bootscreen sensation in the search
you will find some threads
about creating themes there are guides and tutorials
needs study
I tried that method for using clowkworkmod to back up the stock recovery, but I don't see anyway to do it from there since using backup makes a nandroid back up only. How can I browse what is in the bootloader so I can back it up before I flash any custom images to it?
I found some thread with custom splash screen and what not that look pretty neat and how to make my own. Thanks. :highfive:

switch off your device
remove the battery
put it on again and press + hold volume down and power button
it will take you to the bootloader
if i understood well what you mean
edit: i don't know if you can back up the stock recovery from bootloader

What I mean is to browse where the boot loader is stored (I have no idea where it's store), so I can back up the stock splash screen and whatever else is there. I like to have a back up of those before I change anything.
