So, why can't I view Clockwork Recovery?

So, whenever I reboot into Recovery, the white HTC logo pops up, and then fades to black.
From what I've read online, there is a glitch with SLCD screens and CWM.
I've noticed that I can luckily still flash roms. I just have to select "Install Rom from SD Card" from within Rom Manager, and then the phone reboots, goes black... and in a few minutes everything is done. Would be awesome to be able to see the progress.
Anyone know what's up?

So I take it no one else has had this problem?

I have asked you three times now... How did you root the phone, what rom are you running... and so forth.........

No I don't have that prob. But try hitting the menu button when in recovery. It shows the update and when u hit menu again it clears out. If not menu try the other buttons on your screen. See if u can get the thing to switch out... see an update bar etc.

Phone was bought second hand, and I think its from UK and I live in Europe.
So is there any more solutions?

Some roms can do that. May want to look for a hack to fix it. Warning this will require a rooted phone. Do at your own risk

My HTC Hero has installed 2.3.2 Gingerbread, I don't know is it rooted,I'm new in Android phones. I want to install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283338 , but I have read somewhere that phone has to be S-OFF.

Sounds like you are already rooted, install rom manager and see what happens. Do a backup and then try flashing the rom. After downloading it, see if it works ignoring the S-off for right now.

I have installed ROM Manager and have Backed UP the phone, but then i turning the phone (VOLDOWNand ON button) there are no recovery mode, I only Can acsses to recovery mode trought theROM Manager.

That is fine, but did you flash recovery from the top of the app?

Yes,I have did ''Flash ClockworkMod Recovery''.
So You saying I can flash itwith that ROM and itwill be OK?

Yep, if it messes up, you can just restore if it shows something when you go to backup and restore.
Hit that thank button if I helped!

BIG Thanks to you, it worked.
So whenever I want to flash other ROM's, I can do it with no worying?

You should really try looking in the Hero forums and read up on flashing and using adb and fastboot. If something goes wrong flashing, those tools will be a lifesaver. The way you are flashing right now is just an accident waiting to happen rom manager is notorious for messing up. Just go to the Hero forum and read up on rooting and there will be a How-To guide on getting S-Off as well. Just do some reading and you will get the hang of everything. Its really easy once you get the hang of it.

Skyrocket ICS Flash Problem

I don't know where else to turn here. I don't have enough posts to reply to the actual thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570498
I followed the instructions there, I previously had SkyICS 9.4 on my Skyrocket. Since installing those instructions, I can't boot or do anything else. When I turn my phone on, the Samsung logo pops up for a second, disappears, pops up again, goes to ANDROID logo for a few seconds, then repeats that process or turns off. I can't seem to get to any kind of recovery mode.
I just want to know it's not bricked...
Anyways, if anyone could give me any insight at all, it would be extremely appreciated. If I was too vague in a particular area just ask and I'll answer. I'm not very knowledgeable on this subject.
Thanks for any help.

Did you flash darkside superwipe ?
Oh. And your not bricked yet!

No, I read somewhere that I might not need to do that (different site) and I didn't know what it was.
So what do I do now?

You fall into this category. If you don't agree thats ok..
TAKEN FROM THE OP........
[*]The only people who have a hard time flashing are Gingerbread users. Its hit or miss. I dont know what else to do. Most people who cant flash find that Darkside SuperWIPE fixes it and the ROM will flash! (DONT FORGET put on your sdcard before your WIPE)
Whenever I get into a pickle, this is what I do. That script is a game changer .

I'm not saying I don't agree with you, you undoubtedly know much more than I. My question is what is my best course of action now? Should I take my MicroSD card out, put the program on it, and put it back in my phone? Would that even help, as I can't get to any kind of boot screen anyways or way to use the software if it were on my phone?

Your phone is still fine.
All you need to do is pull your battery. Now, hold Vol up and down while you put it back in/turn the phone on until the first samsung logo appears. Then let go. This will get you into recovery.
From there, you should be able to wipe data. You can also mount the external SD while in recovery and add Darkside wipe, then unmount and run it from the root menu.
After that, things should be fine to re-flash the ROM

Ok I feel a lot better now, that worked. I'm back to ClockworkMod. Gonna start over with DarkSide. Thank you!
[Edit: Everything worked from there on out, ICS is installed now and has booted fine. Thanks again!]

[Q] CWR Touch Freezing

Heylo Guys,
First post (obviously) and I'm kinda stumped.
So, I rooted my phone (Skyrocket on AT&T) with Odin and got CWR on it as well. Then I successfully flashed the Sky ICS rom and was doing all my joyful downloading and stuff of apps. I got ROM Manager and updated my CWR to Touch Recovery. Everyting was fine and dandy. I then wanted to back up everything after everything was set up and my ROM Manager froze. Sooo, I did the recovery via button holding and tried to backup; however, Touch won't backup, it just freezes. So, I started to do other things in touch... but they freeze too! In fact, it even freezes when i just try to go back to a previous menu. My phone still works... I just can't flash anything... or do anything in CWR. Anyone know what's up?

the version of cwr that rom manager flashes is very buggy. you should flash a recovery from somewhere in the dev section. i prefer 5.5.0.4, i have never had a problem with it.

i did tell u what todo, dont update cwm through rom manager, u can just download touch cwm from this site and use regular cwm(zip file) or odin(tar file) to flash it, but i guess u did search if u didnt know that, like this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954&highlight=touch+cwm or this, this ones a sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526&highlight=touch+cwm , and i also told u to read my sig, but if its too much work let us know and we wont bother working with u

Thanks. I'll give it a try. But since I can't flash through CWR, am i going to have to do it with ROM Toolbox or something on my phone? Or like Odin?
EDIT: Obviously can't do it from phone... Haha... Odin it is.

Thanks a lot guys. I really appreciate the time out of the day to help me... I'm just new at this and wanted to make sure I didn't brick my phone with any stupid moves. I Odin-ed that new recovery and it seems to be doing great. There should be a warning for that Rom Manager CWR! xD

why do u think my sig is the way it is, ive read a few hundred posts here on the i727 forum b4 i even attempted to flash, i did not want to brick my baby.
too many users come on here read a few posts, head straight to the devs, dont understand what they are reading in the devs op, but flash anyways, then cant understand why their phones arent working when everyone else's is, and i dont think you have read it here that anyone has updated or used cwm through rom manager, unless rom developer says u can , so it begs the question, why did you?, if u followed my advice you would b sitting pretty

Stuck at the HTC logo...

So, before everyone says to use the search button, im gonna say that i used it and didnt find anything, but to my problem. So i just then took out my HTC Sensation from the cupboard and decided to start "playing with it". So i read tutorials about rooting, and finally got it rooted with the help of this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553
After i got it rooted, i thought you can put roms just like with Samsung phones. So i downloaded this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115520 I put it on the sdcard and flashed via CWM and now its stuck, even tho it said everything went ok.
My question is that is this fixable and do you have to do something with HTC phones before flashing a rom?

EDIT: I cant get anywhere from the white screen with the green logo, so how can i use the 4ext recovery? As you can see, im a huge noob with this stuff...

Hi
Greetings
Remove your battery and reinsert it ,
Press and hold volume down+power button till phone boots. This menu is called bootloader.
Select recovery here by pressing volume down buttons and press power button to boot into recover .

Nope. The tutorial didnt say so, it only said that after flashing CWM to flash SuperSU and thats it. After that i just straight flashed the rom? Should i install the kernel aswell?
