Hello Everyone...
I own a Vodafone Joy 845 and because of some mistakes i've propably done...I can't reboot into recovery.
These are all the stuff i've been through before the problem occur.
I used a ROM for a long time and got bored of it, so i desided to change it.The new ROM i flashed was a good one but because of some resons i wanted to go back to my older ROM.Then i realised i hadn't made a buckup of the older ROM...so i had to flash it all over again.I downloaded the ROM and rebooted into recovery...wiped everything and tryed to flash it.Then it said the installation aborted...and i thought that changing the custom recovery would solve the problem.So i changed from Amon-RA to ClockWorkMod.Tried to flash again the ROM and nothing...So i made some research to forums and i figured out that:
The older ROMs are based to Amend (some kind of pc language...i think) and the new ROMs and based to Edify.So, because of ClockWorkMod 3.0.0.5 (the one i had) doens't support Edify based ROMs i had to go back to an older version (ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.2).I coulden't find a way to do it until i saw somewhere that i could downgrade ClockWorkMod via terminal emulator, and i gave it a shoot.When i dit it via terminal...i rebooted into recovery.Then the phone stayed on the screen with the hourglass forever...
TO SUM UP
When i tryed to Downgrade ClockWorkMod recovery 3.0.0.5 to 2.5.1.2 via terminal emulator...the recovery got ****ED UP...
If you know anything...Please share it with me .
Thanks for your answers in advance...

Thanks for your quick reply.Hopefully I found the solution on my own.
Here it is:
I located the downloaded recovery into the ClockWorkMod folder..deleted and downloade again from rom manager..
Now i'm back to my mayor broblem...how to downgrade ClockWorkMod...

I forgot to ask..
Do you know if there is any recovery.img that supports both Amend and Edify. Zip files?

hello,
i was trying to install the cyanogenmod 6.1 Stable using ROM Manager,so i made a backup and then installed the ROM (but without choosing the gapps).
everything was OK but after ther install finished,my MAGIC reboot in loop (only showing the SFR LOGO)
i tryed a backup,but the same result,it reboot in loop
i read many Threads about this and i cant find ant solution
i can access the fastboot
i can access the cyanogen's recovery
the ROM that i have in the Sdcard is here : /sdcard/cyanogen/downloads/.. and not in the root folder (is this a problem?)
I dont have a card reader so i cant copy any other ROM or SPL or ...
Hboot-1.33.0013(i think it is a perfected SPL,is it?)
CPLD-10
Radio-2.22.28.25
pease help get back my Magic and sorry for my english
Wipe every thing with your recovery , move the rom.zip and gapps.zip to the root of your sdcard , then flash first the rom then the gapps then reboot and see what hapens , good luck.
PS: make sure that you downloaded the right rom for your type of phone first !
thanks claude96,
1)is gapps necessary to run the Rom?
2)how can i know that the rom i want to install is OK? i want to install the cyanogen 6.1 stable.
Hboot-1.33.0013

Radio-2.22.28.25
Private message me and I'll help you out. I'll send you the files you need. I'll walk you thru it. By the way, if you want to access market then you want gapps.

I did not use cyanogen's recovery, so u should check the recovery about the USB Storage function. If there is available, it is very easy to use your computer to copy new ROM to your sd card.

thanks to all of you,
i have finely get my Magic back ,i used the advanced restore and then used "restore boot" and that's all,i don't know why the full restore doesn't work ?
just upgraded my phone and it has now changed the recovery to CWM but when trying to reinstall an old firmware (i disliked the new one) it doesnt install i think it has something to do with the recovery so how do i change it back?
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
DEVICE : SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT GT S5670
CURRENT ROM : GB 2.3.6 STOCK
I rooted my device a long time ago..but flashed the recovery few days ago only.
So here's what happened?
i flashed "AMON-RA RECOVERY"..then found it to be old.
then tried to flash the "TJ-STYLE RECOVERY" ...BUT SOMEHOW IT DIDN'T WORKED and ODIN was taking very much time.
so aborted and then flashed "PRATYUSH.CREED 'S RECOVERY"... as mentioned in the guide in the forum that this could backup the STOCK ROM.
THEN as mentioned in the guide i took a NANDROID BACKUP of the stock rom ...(didn't knew the backup was successful or not)..
after creating the backup i tried to flash OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 NIGHTLY.ZIP but the process ended very quickly notifying of successfull flashing...
instead when i rebooted after showing the sumsung animation the Device got hungup at a black screen with android written on it at a little right.
then i tried to restore the NANDROID BACKUP...but the recovery showed MD5 ERROR..
I thought may be a unlocked BOOTLOADER is required ..i googled it but couldn't find the procedure...
i then downloaded and flashed a STOCK_GB_2.3.6.tar.md5 rom..
this worked BUT REPLACED THE CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY WITH STOCK RECOVERY
.
.
.
NOW THE QUESTIONS :
1.why wasn't the NANDROID BACKUP successful ?
2.why didn't the OFFICIAL CYNOGEN MOD 7.2.0 worked ?
3.how can i unlock the BOOT LOADER if it is required for the CUSTOM ROMS ?
4.why the CUSTOM CLOCKWORK MOD got replaced by the STOCK RECOVERY on reflashing with stock rom ?
help me ...

i m a complete noob, but i will try to help u as much as possible ...
i think,there was a prob with flashing of custom recovery,
i m also on custom recovery (dunno which one) i flashed it as flashable zip frm recovery {i think i installed tj style fr odin then flashed the present recovery }
Also, wen u flash stock rom, u need to root it again ..
nondroid problem? mayb due to recovery problem ..
bootloader thing? sorry i dont knw anything bootloader thing ...
If i were u, i will first install tj style recovery from odin(it roots ur phone too, so no need to root it first) then either use it(its said to b most stable recovery around) or flash another recovery as flashable zip frm the present recovery ...
(i will avoid using odin fr each nd every thing ...)
Hope this helps ^^

HOW WOULD I DO THAT..?
means the tj-style recovery i have is in TAR format...
should i UNcompress and recompress it in ZIP format... ?
AND WHAT POSSIBLE DISADVANTAGES COULD BE FOR THE ODIN ?
1) Nandroid Backup works only for custom roms. For stock roms u can only take a backup but u cant restore (there's a recovery by pratyush.creed which does restore too but i didn't try so can't say)
2)Perhaps u didn't flash properly so it went into bootloop. Use CWM by TJ-style only and next time, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and format /system just as a precautionary step before flashing custom rom.
3)Samsung Phones doesn't have locked bootloaders. So to flash a rom, u can do it easily
4) The stock rom u flash via ODIN contains stock recovery as well.
U cant flash recovery unless u have other custom recovery (well there is a flashable zip for CWM by tjstyle but i dont know whether it can be flashed via stock recovery). The only way u can do is through ODIN. Make sure ODIN is set properly and if u have windows 7, run it as administrator and better reinstall drivers.

If you are able to get into recovery, you should be able to access the download folder and flash once again any of the custom ROM saved in the download folder. If not, download any custom ROM and use OTG to flash it.
