I have recently rooted an Inspire 4g through Aces method on a Macbook. It went well, the phone is rooted, the recovery it installed worked and i flashed the latest Android revolution ROM. However, when i install the latest CWM from the clockworkmod app it says it installs successfully but then i boot into recovery it stays on the HTC logo. This only seems to happen with the more recent CWM recoveries. When i flashed the older 3.0.0.6 through rom manager it worked fine, i had to use the EXT3 to EXT4 format tool so that i could flash Revolution since i couldnt use 3.0.2.6. Any ideas what my issue could be?
Same here...
I have the same issue only I used windows, Have you found a way to fix this yet?

I kept getting flash issues after using the unlockr's root method on my Nexus S 4G, specifically the inability to flash roms due to a status 7 error.
BEFORE you run around searching every forum, or use someone else's old nandroid to revert to 2.3.1, or do any craziness... if you flashed Clockwork via fastboot, install ROM Manager from the market, and install the latest ClockworkMod recovery via Rom Manager, and give it another try.
Hopefully this is easy enough to find, that no one else has this problem.
Happy hunting
Hi,
This didn't help
I installed ROM Manage from Play Store and tried to install ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager. Howeve, it kept on getting stuck while installing ClockworkMod recovery....
Are there any other solutions for Status 7 error?
Flash the latest CWM manually via fastboot. Have a look at the Nexus S rooting guides, they all detail how to flash a custom recovery.
Yep, it was all about updating the CWM. In my case I had to update it to the one that supports touch mode (don't remember the version number). Once that was done all went quite smoothly.

I have a HTC Desire, and rooted long ago with Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7. Recently I want to upgrade it so I download Rom manager and start flashing the newest version 5.x from the menu.
However It's still showing 2.5.0.7 when I boot to the recovery even though the rom manager already said 5.x.
I tried o re-root with Unrevoke method, and add the newest img file but still doensn't help, the annoying 2.5.0.7 still showing.
Is there anyone that faced this problem before ? Please give me a hand... i'm really lost.
Try flashing the recovery img from your pc.
Thank you, but It turns out that the CM only works after I S-OFF my phone. Problems solved after hours trying to S-OFF
glad you sorted it
I have a HTC Desire, which I rooted using Unrevoked.
This updated my recovery to ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 - which was great and I was able to backup/restore/apply new roms. Also ROM Manager worked and I could use that application to access the recovery modes/scripts.
ROM Manager then got updated, including the ClockworkMod (5.0.2.0). Now ROM Manager fails to run any of the scripts when starting in recovery mode.
When I manually boot in to recovery, I am still on the 2.5.0.7 version and not the latest. I've tried applying the 5.0.2.0 update - which updates for that boot, but on a reboot reverts back to 2.5.0.7.
So, my questions are;
- To update my recovery program do I need S-OFF? Currently still have S-ON.
- If S-OFF, will a simple 'apply update from sdcard' update it?
Thanks, A

I have S-ON on my Hero and I always updated my recovery. I don't think it would be a problem.
Don't use rom manager. Just copy the file to your SD and flash it manually trough recovery (flash/install zip from SD), it should work.
Thanks.
but.... nope! It's stuck on ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7! As I said I can flash it to 5.0.2.0 and use it, but next time I enter recovery it's back to 2.5.0.7!
If it's not S-ON that's causing it, could it because I rooted with Unrevoked? Some how that's locked it to 2.5.0.7?
Thanks, A

It could be unrevocked, but not sure. I rooted a Desire owned by a friend but with S-OFF.
He never had any issue.

Same problem
I have the same problem.
Some help?
Thanks
O.
same here...tried everything!
Same here.
Rom Manager fails. (says it's worked, but upon boot to recovery it's the same 2.5.0.7
Rom Toolbox just fails and admits it.
I tried following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608042 thread, and tried basically the same thing via the android-terminal as well. Every time it fails.
When trying via the terminal (android or adb) I get erase and write fails, and a run out of memory error. I would like to update CWM so that I can partition the SD using the phone.
Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
The Answer
Well I found the answer for me. My problem was that I still had S-On and had to get that to S-Off as apparently my phone (HTC Desire) has an advanced security feature put on by HTC that stops you writing to /System, which is a necessary location to write to to update CWM. I got S-Off by using revolutionary, which was pretty noob friendly despite the scary words on the page. (google for revolutionary s-off)
Revolutionary just requires the HBOOT version and the Serial Number of the phone, which you find under the battery. DLed the fastboot drivers as they recommended as well. Once I got S-Off, I was able to use Rom Manager to update the CWM to 5.0.2 or whatever the latest is now.
Hope this helps you as it did me.
PS I have previously tried re-running unrevoked whilst the phone had BCM ICS (CM9), which didn't work (error was "is your firmware too new?"). I then downgraded to CM 6, and tried again with unrevoked, but the Rom Manager still wouldn't upgrade CWM. I checked HBOOT and as suspected still had S-On...Revolutionary is your answer methinks
so which CWM RECOVERY is latest without S-OFF and with option to partition SD EXT2/3/4 etc? thanks.
I upgraded manually to 4.04 coming from 4.03 rooted, i flashed the update file and then flashed Superuser, everything is working fine.
Today i wanted to make a backup with the rommanager, but it seems that the Clockworkmodrecovery isnt there anymore, when i tried to flash clockworkmodrecoveryin standard recovery i get the Signature verification fail and then the android with the exclamation mark.
For the rest the phone works fine. i am confused now, what to do
i have backups of my olders system, from a few days ago, but can i use rommanger to set things back or does that not work anymore because the clockworkmod recovery is missing now.
How can i get back clockworkmod recovery
is this working for you: http://andwise.net/?p=268 ?
No it does not work .
what does not work exactly ??
there is an missing dll in your fastboot exe,
pulled the battery and flashed thru rommanager, then its ok, recovery is there but when i want to make a backup, clockworkmod recovery is gone again after reboot, not sticky i think
Rename "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" to "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak". All Stock ROMs replace the recovery on each Boot if it isn't the stock one. Renaming this script stops that. After you do this, flash CWM one more time and it'll stick.
Ok thanks, i am just back to 4.03 using a nandroid backup, when i am going back to 4.04 i will try your solution
Hello, I am having some problems installing a working recovery, here is my story... So first the device was 10.6.1.27.5 and its unrootable, so i downgraded to 10.6.1.15.3, where I installed TWRP recovery, and flashed CM 10.2 ROM, but it was too glitchy, so i wiped all data, and fastbooted 10.6.1.15.3 build and stock ROM. So I am now stock,
I am rooted using MottoChop method, and I cant install a custom recovery... I tryed to install TWRP 2.5.0.0 thats the version I was on before, and also tied 2.6.3.0, when flashing the .blob My device turns unresponsive, even when rebooting it with fastboot.
So left with no choice i tried flashing the .img one for JB, (Note: It is currently NOT a OTA update, but manual, so i used the 4.2 first)
I was Able to Flash the custom recovery 2.6.3.0 JB.img and it booted up and worked fine, but then it couldnt mount anything,
I was getting error message:
E: Cant mount /data
and so on... I then tried to flash 2.5.0.0 and got the same result.
GooManager cant find a recovery script for this device...I flashed the TF300T, since thats the kind i have not TF300TG
Im really lost now... I tried ClockworkManager to find a recovery and it said the same thing, I dont want to flash a CWM with flashboot since i here It is terrible.
Any Help Is greatly Appreciated
I notice that alot of these problems, I end up fixing myself... I fixed the issue
But If anyone ever comes into the same situation, heres the fix...
UPDATE to 10.6.27.5 (Yes newest version) Im using US...
Install openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf300t-4.2.blob IMPORTANT dont flash the JB version because its only for OTA updates
Open recovery and TWRP will prompt you to install, and beleive it or not, but apparently you can root the newest version,
Just not With MottoChopper and other quick root methods!
If you have any more question, post!
