good day to you all,
i was flashing CM7 rc2 to my DHD the other day, and while starting the flashing my sd card didn't respond anymore, and the flash failed, no return to cw recovery just reboot. so i rebooted and now there's android with nothing on it, just system+sense. clockworkmod recovery everything is gone.
since there isn't an market app (versions floating on the web fail to launch) where i can download rom manager, this option does't work, been looking for versions floating around the web, but can't find a correct version that is able to flash clockworkmod.
is there a safe way to flash without clockwork?
so, i have root, eng-hboot, cid 11111111 and a broken rom.
how should i proceed?
<<
managed to restore a back up after finding that clockworkmod is hidden behind the recovery option in hboot.
>>
Rom manager is available in the market. So can u boot into a working rom?
Switch off ur dhd. Hold volume - and press power button. It should boot to clockwork recovery.
If it doesn't. Download 'rom manager' from the market. Open it and press flash clockwork recovery. Re-download the rom and flash it again.

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.

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
Hey guys, I'm currently running the leaked JI6 Froyo update that has been deodexed and the kernal has been changed to allow for <2e> recovery mode.
In Rom Manager (Premium), I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery successfully, and selected Backup Current Rom. I named the ROM, pressed OK, and it rebooted to <2e> recovery mode.
Then it just says:
# Manual Mode#
--Applying muti-CSC...
Installing Muti-CSC
and it just hangs there. I waited 10 minutes and then just rebooted the phone. I also tried selecting "reinstall packages" which also just rebooted the phone.
One solution said to select "Flash Alternative Recovery" after flashing ClockworkMod and then reflashing ClockWorkMod but the Flash Alternative Recovery option is greyed. I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?
The leaked captivate has the 2e recovery preventing you from using clockwork mod and thus rom manager. There is a way to flash a different kernel to allow user of clockwork. Do some digging in the dev section and you should be able to find it

when you are in 2e recovery, you need to select reinstall packages, let it reboot, then select it again. you will be put into clockworkmod

You're thinking of 3e.
like pirateghost said, you need to reinstall packages twice. The second time you will see a green recovery screen and that is 3e recovery.
Also, you shouldn't really use ROM Manager for anything anymore. There are update.zip files that you can download that will get you into the correct recovery and you should do your flashing and backing up from the recovery screen not ROM Manager.

Ya I must haver been thinking of the wrong recovery. Agreed about rom manager though it is essentially only a gui interface but it does not always works and just adds complication/problems

I have been unable to restore any of my nandroid backups. They are all listed, but nothing happens when I select one. I tried doing it first with ROM Manager and then tried the Vol Down - Power button approach. All I get is a blank screen. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have no trouble installing ROMs from the SD card.
u should have a custom recovery installed in the first place.. do this..
go to recovery by holding down home+vol down+power..
use the stock nandroid backup..
Did you say to hold down Home+Vol Down+Power? I haven't heard of using the Home button before.
yes in some buttons its home button+power+vol down
try it
Try updating CWM in ROM Manager. The latest version is 3.0.1.0
I tried flashing ClockworkMod using ROM manager, and the first time I tried it I got ClockworkMod 2.5. I have tried several more times, but now it immediately responds with a message saying it was successfully downloaded. It couldn't have downloaded anything that fast! Also, I have made several nandroid backups but am unable to restore them and am wondering if I need to have S-OFF for it to work. If so, how well does the Unlockr unrevoked-forever.zip program work? I can flash it from the SD card since I have successfully flashed the Froyo USCC ROM. That much does work.
They should be there.

Hi,
I am trying to flash my LG P500 to Cyanogen Mod 9 and the manual I found stated, that I should partition my SD card using Clockwork mod.
So I found ROM Recovery app in Google Play and installed it. Afterwords I downloaded Clockwork Flash using ROM Mangager app and everything seems OK.
But when I try to boot to clockwork mod, my phone is always being flashed into factory default.
I power off the phone, press vol down, home and power on buttons - the phone starts up, an animation of white box and android logo beside shows (with a progressbar at the bottom) - I think this is because of installed clockwork - then I release those 3 buttons I was holding, but the phone simply resets itself into factory default.
I also tried to hold those buttons all the way, until some "DOS-like" screen shows up, but the phone keeps rebooting itself.
The next thing I tried was to boot into recovery using ROM manager app, but it also did not work - I don't know, if it should boot into recovery by itself or I should press those 3buttons (vol down, home, power on/off)
Could you help me, what am I doing wrong?
thanks
It sounds like your phone is not rooted. Follow the sticky topics in this section for how to root your phone. Start with this one:

Once you have root, install clockworkmod again. Then, you'll have success.

no, my phone is already rooted
That's the stock recovery, that means ClockworkMod Recovery did not flash properly. See if you granted SuperUser rights to ROM manager, and check the SuperUser app if you had mistakenly checked 'Remember Choice'.

Dont use Rom Manager.
You dont have recovery installed.
Find some other way to flash recovery.. there are many in this forum.
I suggest you use Rom Manager to download CWM and then boot into cwm .
I suggest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723
This is safe for installing custom recovery.
Thanks to Shinobisoft.
Use AmonRA recovery. Works flawlessly for all roms in this forum.
