I used ROM manager to flash clockworkmod and when I touched reboot into recovery mode, the screen just goes blank with the buttons still half lit. Nothing happens.
This is a Optimus V that's been rooted. I'm trying to flash a Cyanogenmod rom and this is a step I have to take before doing so.
Anyone know what's going on here? Any general tips?
you have to reflash a recovery
Hey all,
My phone was acting up and had a lot of clutter so I ODIN'ed to stock WITH root and e3. I downloaded Rom manager and flashed recovery. Seemed to work. I did the double install deal. Loaded green recovery: great. Reboot the phone. Turn it off to boot back into recovery. As i do the two volume plus power button combo, phone boots and i come to the blue and yellow install screen for recovery. Happens everytime.
I even tried going back to entirely stock. No root or anything. I then rooted, added e3, and flashed. Same deal.
Whats going on?!
I'm flashing a rom right now to see if that fixes anything.
It can't be normal to have to reinstall the package everytime i reboot into recovery.
And it only boots into green. Not blue or red.
Help!
Just finished flashing Zeus and went into recovery. Booted right into red. I guess problem solved?
galaxy s phones and the infuse don't conform to the android standard. they use a kernel with initramfs for boot in place of a boot.img partition. the initramfs can't be modded short of compiling a kernel and flashing it to the phone. the behavior you described is absolutely normal for high end Samsung phones. there isn't really any other safe or easy way to do it. the green recovery is the one designed for the i9000 with the stock kernel. the red/blue versions are themed and modded version that are baked into the kernel. once you flash a rom with a custom kernel you will have red unless it is cm7 or miui which will have blue.
Thanks for the explanation! Makes sense now.
I tried to flash CM7 onto my G2X and it is stuck on the boot with the LG logo and the blue lines in the background. I need to get past it. Also it wont boot into recovery mode. Thanks in advance for all and any help
Follow the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
Once you have gb 2.3.3 installed try to boot into recovery, if it doesn't work, flash recovery again (using nvflash of course, not through rom manager). Once you get CWM working, flash CM7 again.
Hey guys, complete noob here hoping to run a custom rom. I followed the instructions for the infused V2 rom for rooting, getting cwm red(coming from stock froyo), and heres where I have a question.
When I hit boot into recovery in Rom manager I get the green cwm.
If I hold the vol and power buttons while powering on, I boot into the red cwm.
Just wondering if I'm good to flash emancipation?
Yes. If you use Rom manager to boot into recovery you will be green, however boot a second time within CWM and the second time you will be red. Which is just how Rom manager works to reinstall packages, but eventually you get to red. Once there, you are good to go for Emancipation.
I just installed ROM Manager and Clockworkmod on my phone. I downloaded the MIUI ROM and installed it. The phone rebooted but is stuck at the LG splash screen. When I try to get into Clockwork Recovery it just shows the image of a box and android with an arrow pointing to the android. Then the phone reboots... Is there anything I can do to fix this problem? I'm kinda new to ROMs and don't know much about the topic. Any help would be appreciated.
You need to use NVFlash to flash CWM. ROM manager doesn't actually change the recovery partition, so the volume down+ power button shortcut still activates the stock recovery

Thanks! I'll try it out.
Didn't you read the guide on how to flash clockwork mod for this phone? Or did you just hastily assume that all phones can use ROM manager and gave it a shot?
