Fastboot and cwm... What happened - HTC Inspire 4G

It seems like everytime i flash a new rom.or update my rom i get to the cwm screen through rom manager. When i want to add an extra(advance power mod) iy takes me to the white (fastbot/hboot?) Screen and i hit bootloader and it finds an update... I know that it will reset my rom and put me bqck to stock if i continue with the update... I just dont get y i cant always jist get to the "black cwm" screen where i am when i flash a new rom? I used to be able to go into rom manager and "boot into recovery" which takes me.to the black normal cwm screen. Now it goes to this white screen with the skating android on the bottom where it wants to update crap. Any help?

Remove (or rename) the PD98IMG.ZIP from your SDCARD. It's finding that and trying to install it.

That's fine. It won't mess anything up. It just needs to NOT see PD98IMG.zip, however you want to go about it...rename, move, delete. The result is the same.

Not to insult your intelligence, but are you sure you have cwr flashed? Perhaps try reflashing it?
I've never uninstalled ROM manager, so I don't know how that affects cwr, whether the stock recovery gets put back on or not, but Rom manager, with a working cwr, should at least get you where you want to go.

No insult here ha but yea i tried to flash clockwork recovery and all and still only get the hboot/fastboot screen.... And i can do nothing at all ha i dont understand, it has happened now 2x... Wen i tried to install cpu and now with power menu mod... I dunno

[Q&A] Miui For Infuse Rom

Notice:
This thread is for general questions regarding MIUI FOR INFUSE ROM.
sticky please
I flashed miui about a week ago. The .30 edition.
Well I want to update and when I try to boot into cwm it just sits at Samsung screen.
I tried to flash the cwm through Tom manager and still nothing. =\
I was having the same problem booting into cwm. I followed LG_iiNsTiiNcT's directions that are below via the2rrell and I was able to boot Jordan's update. Thanks guys.
the2rrell said:
i have seen 2 fixes for this...... this is one of them from "LG"
Okay so if you were one of the few people who lost recovery for some weird reason "ME" no need to unbrick to stock and re-flash I have a solution.
1: Download sgs kernel flasher
2: Download CWM community kernel
3: Flash kernel via sgs kernel flasher "unchecked the reboot button" when done flashing turn phone of "SHUTDOWN"
4: 3 finger until the Samsung logo pops up keep holding the buttons the screen will go black then Samsung logo will come up, let go of the power button and keep hold the volume up and down buttons "For about 20 seconds" then let go it should boot into Red CWM after a few seconds.
5: Go to install zip from SD card go all the way down and run update.zip it will boot back into RED CWM run update.zip again and it should now boot into GREEN CWM
6: From here Re-Flash MIUI "New Release would be smart", Wipe Fact,Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Flash, reboot at sign of Samsung logo pull battery, 3 finger into blue recovery and flash again.
7: Presto you should be set and have recovery back.

No root after MIUI flash

I obtained root via Odin as superoneclick didn't work. Then i flashed the latest version on MIUI and I lost root access. A couple of forums said superuser needs to be enabled in the settings. However when I opened superuser and looked under preferences there was no toggle to enable it.

There is an app in tools called Superuser, not the one you download from market. It will have the enable toggle.

At least in my case, I agree something is not right with rooting after I updated to MIUI-Infuse-1.10.14. The superuser app is different then last week's (1.10.7) and no apps show up in the approved list.
I reloaded last week's MIUI-Infuse-1.10.7 and the apps show up in the MIUI list but some apps work ok...others don't. Went back to 1.10.14, same problem.
I think I'll wait till this week's update and then start trying some of the solutions already posted. yeha!!
Thank you cajun that's what I thought I would have to do, just thought someone would have an easier solution before I went thru the pain of reverting back to stock... the thing is everything was great with all the other updates until I updated to 1.10. 14. Then everything went bye bye.. lol.. thanks for the help everyone you guys are really great and helpful.

[Q] No green bars or 4g symbol?

Yeah, it's because the NS ran REAL AOSP. Which has the colored bars that you're talking about which does mean that you're sync'd.
But, the G2x runs LG's stupid wannabe AOSP. The bars aren't colored because it's their own custom skin. It's sync'd though, you just can't tell because LG made it that way.
I just got the G2x few days ago, couldn't stand their custom ROM. So I rooted it and flashed CM7 the second I had the chance.
I would suggest you do the same as well.

1. Install Clockworkmod via One Click NVFlash tool. Do not use ROM Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Now you have two choices.
Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (power + volume down) ...
1. Install my root zip if you want to stay on stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
2. Choose an already rooted rom from dev section and flash it. Make sure you wipe everything before flashing an alternate rom or a bootloop may likely result.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1117
I've hard bricked a couple of phones (not a G2X) in the past and based on what I know this phone is very hard to brick. The only way to do I think is to issue errant commands in NVFlasher, but that is why we have the One Click Recovery flasher to isolate us from that possibility.
^^ damn that guys boss! Do his instructions to a T and you'll be all set.

After you flash recovery, you should boot into it. Then flash a ROM. If you leave it stock, there is a script that flashes stock recovery every boot, so you lose cwm.
There is a way to disable that script if you want to remain stock, but i can't remember where i saw the instructions for that.

So am I not actually rooted then? Super user is still empty and titanium backup is still failing to get root??
I tried this below but it wouldn't let me change the name?? I used astro, solid explorer and ES file. If I have root shouldn't I be able to do this?
"Note: There is a script in your phone that will remove ClockworkMod recovery when you reboot. In order to stop this from happening, download a root explorer from the Market (ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, File Expert). Use it to navigate to /system/etc/ on your phone. Find a file named “install-recovery.sh” and rename to to something like “install-recovery.sh.bak”. This will render it disabled and will make sure you keep your custom recovery."
via http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/nexus-s-rooting-guide
Factory images from Google don't have the install-recovery.sh file. Only if you get OTA you will have that file.
