[Q] ROM Manager Premium Help

Need help with an issue using ROM Manager Premium. Cannot seem to find any info on solving my problem and no one has responded to my other post.
Tonight, when I tried to run another downloaded ROM in ROM Manager, the system simply rebooted and never installed another ROM. What am I missing or doing wrong. I have followed the few instructions I have found, but no luck addressing this issue. Please help!
From another post...
Sorry if I placed this in the wrong forum. Still getting used to this site.
z4Rooted Droid X user.
System version 2.3.340 - Android version 2.2.1
Having an issue with ROM Manager Premium 3.0.0.5 and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.7...
After flashing clockworkmod recovery, I hit Reboot Into Recovery. The phone simply does a reboot and nothing more. I have tried several times.
Also using Launcher Pro Plus and Titanium Backup Premium.
Any help?

Not sure, but seems like either the phone isnt going into recovery, so try to install the rom without going into recovery.
If you want to flash a new rom that you downloaded from rom manager, you can do it without going into recovery. You just have to go into rom manager, choose "install rom from SD card, navigate to the file you downloaded and click it.
once you click the file you want to flash, it will ask you if you want to backup your rom and if you want to wipe data/cache. choose which ones you want to do, and press continue.
I recommend you create a backup and wipe data/cache.

Thanks a lot! I will give that a shot.
Is it possible I am missing some files or something like that needed to perform that recovery? Is a GummyJAR a good ROM?

Cant help with the question regarding droid X roms, as I have an Incredible.

Thanks, again. Yes, you are right. This site is a bit difficult to get use to. Feel like a forum n00b, and I certainly am not.

Also, not sure if you have done this yet, but you have to flash a recovery first in rom manager, before you can do pretty much anything.
the first option is flash clockworkmod recovery, choose that, then it may pop up something about cdma. choose that and it will flash a recovery,then you can flash the new rom.

Yes. I did indeed try that. It seems to flash without issue, but the problem still exists.

Not sure whats going on then. I think rom manager is messing up. you are gonna have to get it to go into recovery first before it will do anything.
Not sure how you get into recovery with the X, but with the incredible, you power down the phone, then hold the volume down button while pushing the power button.
If it still doesnt go into recovery, try and delete rom manager, then re install it, and flash a new recovery.
Also, could be a bad download, and you might have to redownload the rom.
If that doesnt help, better go to the X forums and look around.

Will do. One thing that has me concerned is, I am not even convinced ROM Manager has performed a successful backup of my current ROM, yet. Even though it seems to backup just fine. When browsing my SD card, I do not see the backup file ANYWHERE.
I do know how to get into the X stock recovery, but the menu items are very limited and I cannot create a nandroid backup.
I am going to try an uninstall/reinstall like you recommended and then take a look in the Droid X forums. Thanks again!!!

Sorry I couldnt help. My backups are in sd card/clockworkmod/backups.
sometimes rom manager acts funny.

No problem, man. You have given some great advice. I did a full uninstall, restart and re-install. No luck. Same thing.
Taking your advice and posting this in the Droid X forums.
It's funny, I have found a lot of posts about ROM Manager issues, but not many posts on the actual fixes.

[Q] I need help, bad.

Ok so my nephew got a hold of my phone and i'm not quite sure what he did. I had my nexus rooted and I guess he tried to install the new OTA, it didn't work so he wiped the memory card and cache etc..
now the phone doesn't go past the bootloader. Is that what it's called? the androids on it and the options are Reboot bootloader, reboot, recovery, and power off.
when I plug the phone in it doesn't get detected. Am i completely screwed here? Please let me know. I tried searching but I realized i'm not quite sure what to even search for. Any and all help is greatley appreciated!!

it doesn't sound like you are screwed but you may have lost all your data not found in the /sdcard. a few questions; did you have a custom recovery installed? and can you get to recovery?
If you can't even get into recovery then you will have to use fastboot to flash your phone. it's not hard just search for the specifics.

Thank you! yeah I have clockwork mod v 3.0.0.5 i was playing around with that and there is a recovery option.
i was also reading about a nandroid backup (lol not too sure what it is). but it looks like i have to go into recovery and load that file. if i click on mount store or whatever it recognizes on my pc. im currently trying that and keeping my fingers crossed. if not ill have to look into reflashing the phone. hope i fix this. thanks a lot though at least i have another option hah!

Look at the top of your phone. It should say something in red text.
Usually this means you've lost the Boot.img or System.img so the phone can't boot. Pushing a custom recovery like Clockwork then flashing a ROM/restoring NAND backup will fix it.

1. Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093
2. Mount it on your computer, enable USB storage in Clockwork Recovery
3. Paste it in there.
4. Unmount
5. Nandroid restore from that file
--- OR ---
1. Download a custom ROM (i recommend cyanogenmod because its awesome.. just my opinion -- flash gapps after CM7).
2. flash the ROM
3. there you go
but if you want OTAs and stuff like that.. use nandroid backup

FIXED!!! thanks dude. i pretty much had this last part figured out but was a bit hesitant to try it. instructions helped a huge deal.
thanks guys. really appreciate the help. saved me a heart attack haha

Glad it's fixed but here's my question.
Your nephew got a hold of your phone.... he takes it and starts WIPING STUFF OFF OF IT?!?!?!?!? WTF!

[Q] Won't Go Into Recovery Just Shows Red Triangle With Red Exclamation Mark.

Brand new Thunderbolt, I did have it rooted but just factory reset it, I no longer have root. I hold down the power button and BOTH volume arrows and get into the screen for recovery, when I go to it it gives me a black screen with a pic of a phone in the middle with a red triangle and a red exclamation mark over top the phone.
I want to root and get a new kernel but think it would not be smart to proceed until I fix this problem. Jeesh, had it less than 12 hours and broke it already haha.
So, how do I get it to let me in there so I can make a nandroid backup?

I'm pretty certain you need to be rooted to access recovery.

Well, last night when I WAS rooted I tried it and it didn't work either. Well, I will try that tonight around 5PM EST and let you know if rooting allows me in. Honestly, I factory reset the phone after I rooted it because I thought the way I rooted it messed it up. Now I am thinking that is not true.

You have to be rooted to get into recovery. Also, and I am not 100% sure about this, if you did a factory re-set and didnt re-root and then reinstall CWR then there wont be a recovery for you to access.

You're looking at the stock recovery. You need to reroot and flash CWM to be able to install custom zips.

A factory reset shouldn't cause you to lose root. That just wipes data/cache. I would return to stock, root again and go from there. There's a thread in the development section on how to return to stock.
Did you flash CWM after rooting??? You can't do **** without that.

Ok, here is what I did, i took a factory thunderbolt and followed all the directions on this link.
http://www.thunderboltforums.com/fo.../1233-rs-guide-how-root-your-thunderbolt.html
Then, I downloaded rom manager and busybox and was about to try and install a kernal. I wanted to make a nandroid back up and thats when I noticed this problem. I also think I lost my 3g access then too. So, I went to factory reset and then tested the root checker app and it said I had NO ROOT.
I am rather noobish so please make the directions on how to fix this simple HAHA. I am also wondering if the link above has good root instructions and how would I install a kernel on the thunderbolt? Even a link to a thunderbolt kernel thread would be sweet!! THanks!!
I will wait for someone to let me know if that link is any good before I root with it again.

CMW is ClockworkMod Recovery. It's the recovery you flash in ROM Manager.
Follow this thread for rooting. There's a few other methods in the development section that have scripts so you don't have to manually push through ABD. Doing it yourself is more fail safe though and also a good learning experience.

Downloading Rom Manager is NOT installing custom recovery but a way to do so.
Once RM is installed open it up & choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. That will install the latest recovery from which you can run backups and such.

See, now when I did my incredible I never even downloaded rom manager. I don't even know what it really does. I thought I held up and power when turning on to get into the menu and I was able to make the nandroid backup from that menu somewhere?

So... Just my 2 cents. You said you downloaded clockworks and busy box, but I never saw you reference super user. That should have been download number 1 after root. Without that, you're not doing anything.

I do not have busy box, I have rom manager, superuser and root access. I keep hearing something about flashing clockworkrecovery next?? Like does that mean just click on the box in rom manager?

In ROM Manager if you select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", Rom Manager will do just that.
It will flash your recovery.

Ok I guess I am not fully understanding this. What does it really mean to "flash" your "recovery"?
Does this mean to make a copy of your current phone, like a nandroid backup? Or does it mean to access a copy you have already made and revert your system to that prior copy? Or am I wrong on both?

The answer to your first question of the first link being any good...that would be a big NO. Your phone never rooted from the start due to faulty directions posted. As far as flashing a recovery from clockworkmod that basically means when you need to get to the recovery screen this is the program that will bring you there with the understanding that you flash the recovery. NOW to do that there is an option at the top of the screen which says
" Flash ClockworkMod Recovery "
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5
Once you flash it will show this:
Flash CLockworkMod Recovery
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.3.5
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.5
TO FLASH YOU SIMPLY SELECT THIS BOX AND IT WILL BRING UP A SCREEN TO CONFIRM PHONE MODEL AND THEN WILL ASK FOR SUPERUSER PERMISSION WHICH YOU MUST GRANT ACCESS TO AT ALL TIMES.

Rooted i9023, some help needed please!

Ok guys so I have managed to root my i9023 and flash clockwork recovery which was all good, I set about flashing some new roms via rom manager, again, all good.
So now I settle on this cm7 based rom which I love, used anim mod to get some nice transitions, then I used font changer.
All was good, then I decided that the font I was using was a bit ott so I decided to change it again, upon reboot it starts boot looping, bollocks !!!
So I try to get into clockwork recovery, and it seems to have gone back to the stock bootloader, grrrrr
I re flash clockwork, wipe / clear etc... then flash the rom again, but it would not flash, so I went to my backup of stock n flashed that, all good.
I then install rom manager again and flash the rom I liked again, this time no problem, but when it loads up the home button and search button are not working
So i decide on a factory reset, I select wipe everything including sd just to be sure but it comes up "error null"???
So now I wipe the sd manually and then do the reset and it works, ok, I re load everything on from scratch and all is good, but when I installed rom manager it says that clockwork recovery IS NOT installed again
Can anyone here work out from my ramblings WTF is going on???
I dont get why the font changer all of a sudden caused a boot loop, as I had changed font about 15 times with it without issue, also why clockwork recovery will not stick anymore after a reboot, when before it did and I have not changed a thing!
Cheers!!!

Rename install-recovery.sh in system/etc to something else, flash cwm recovery again, this time it'll stick until you install a stock rom again.
Rom manager is causing more problems than it's saving time, hence I don't use it.

Thanks for the reply, can you go into detail on what exactly I need to do to get clockwork to stick? I still hold noob status!
Thanks!
Also rom manager seems fine, I flashed loads of roms with it with no issue, I also rebooted a few time at least between flashes so I dont get why clockwork suddenly decided to jump ship.
It was the font changer that f&%ked it all up for me, or anim mod (which I wont touch now even tho I miss the wicked transitions).

When using Font Changer, it's better to do a reboot manually instead of selecting Reboot from within the program. That sometimes cause me a boot loop too. But after turning the phone off / on a.k.a. "reboot manually", the phone boots fine.
To elaborate what rentaric said, use Root Explorer and go to /system/etc/, there should be a file named install-recovery.sh. This file is responsible for flashing the stock recovery every time the phone boots. If you rename it to something else e.g. install-recovery.sh.bak then CWM will stick on reboot.

Thanks, but when I get into the /system/etc/ there is not file called install-recovery.sh.
The only .sh in there is init.goldfish.sh
Any ideas???

Flash cwm rec and either stock or custom rom.
Stock rom incl the .sh you want.

I've read on these forums that using Clockwork on the I9023 is a no-go. Serves up incompatible ROMs, etc.
BTW, I'm looking to root my I9023. Can the OP please point me to the method he used.

Yeah I have a custom rom installed, supercm7, but the install-recovery.sh. that I have been told is causing the problem of clockwork disappearing is not in the /system/etc/ folder, so I am asking if there is anything else that could be causing me to have to re flash clockwork via my pc every time I want to change rom?
I will tell you exactly what happens.
1. I go into rom manager
2. download a rom and choose flash rom from sd card
3. it asked if I want to wipe etc, i select yes
4. phone re boots and I get ! with an android
5. I pull the battery, hold volume up n power and boot / connect to my pc
6. re flash clockwork via SDK
7.the phone then load the new rom on its own
Before it would just flash the rom without me having to install clockwork again.

install-recovery.sh is only there if you're using a stock android rom.
"so I am asking if there is anything else that could be causing me to have to re flash clockwork via my pc every time I want to change rom?"
ROM Manager.
It's not a reliable working tool for ME as I'm changing ROMs/kernels on a regular basis and it might not work reliable the one time you need it.

Thanks for that, I may just sack rom manager then.
Its a shame as I flashed several roms with it without issue.
Oh well, loving this supercm7 so gonna stick with it untill an update comes out.
Many thanks to all who have replied, clicking the thanks buttons now!

[Q] Confused as to what to do next: un-bricked, but recovery is still a garbled mess

So I rooted my brother's infuse 4G because it was slow as sin and needed A. a data/cache wipe and B, I wanted to give him Jellybean
I followed all the instructions I could; rooted, installed the modded 3e (or thought I did), got a CWM installed afterwards, and then set about installing first CM9 (as the Jellybean ROM post says I should) followed by the actual ROM and its Gapps. Well, I installed CM9 (although it seemed to take all of 30 seconds, rather fast...) when I tried to wipe data/factory reset, CWM froze. I rebooted and from then on I had it softbricked. Stuck booting at the samsung logo, and when I tried to return to the recovery, the recovery was a garbled mess that looked like a scrambled TV channel. I used Heimdall and did the one-click reset to stock, and here I am. The phone boots to stock just fine, but my recovery is still completely boned.
Do I re-root? How do I install CWM again without being able to install 3e? (can't install 3e without a working recovery in the first place, after all..)
One anomaly of note - when I was going about all this, booting the phone into recovery always got me 3e, even after installing CWM. I had to manually install CWM by using an update.zip and "reinstall packages" every time I wanted to use CWM. ROM manager would boot me to CWM, but it took several reboots and a flashable CWM zip before I could even get CWM installed in the first place - ROM manager refused to do it the easy way.
What did I do wrong, and more importantly, how do I get back on track? What do I do to put a fixed recovery back on this thing? Odin? ADB?
Today was the first time I ever used Heimdall, I've been a fair weather flasher since the beginning, I've never had to ADB or Odin.

It sounds like you didn't install cwm recovery properly, but I'm not sure I've never ran into this problem before. If you go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524081 and carefully read over the first and second post you should end up with gb and red cwm recovery. The way I've done it was to put the phone in dl mode and flash the first package (the stock gingerbread att rom). After it is installed and booted up, I then power it off and go back into dl mode. Then flash the second package, which is just the kernel and red cwm recovery, (be patient because it takes awhile). Once that is done then go into recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system, and install cm9. I think it only installs the kernel and recovery the first installation after formatting and creating the partitions, but after its done you have to go through the menus and tell it to reboot. After it reboots it will be stuck at the cyanogenmod galaxy s logo, so you will have to go into recovery once more. When you're there you should have blue cwm (only continue if you do) and install jb, without actually having to install the full cm9. When you navigate to which ever jb rom you want to install, a prompt will appear stating that there is incompatible partition layout and to confirm installation you will have to reselect the jb zip again to install. It will flash pretty quick because at this point its doing the same thing as when you went from gb to cm9 and only installs the kernel, recovery, and reformat/creates the partitions, (I think). It will reboot on its own but it will take you back into recovery. At this point all you have to do is navigate to the same jb zip you want to install and flash it, followed by gapps, and then reboot system. This process has worked for me but I highly recommend reading and following the instructions given in the post above.

Use goo.I'm app. Also you need to flash GB bootloaders in Odin . is recovery all colorful? If you see recovery fine just get goo app on play store and install a recovery

I would go the ODIN route, I have bricked so many times because i try to make the impossible possible. Just search for a already rooted pda,mdr file. I skipped the cm9 part idk if that would make things better or not but as my post says im a risk-taker

One thing I'd like to point out, flashing to ICS from GB requires 2 flashes. First flash sets the new partitions. You reboot and pull the battery, then boot back into recovery and reflash with the gapps.
That was the first problem I saw, and now commenting while on the Nexus I can't see the OP so that's all I'll comment on.

I've never skipped ICS and gone straight to JB like you, that's risk I've yet taken. I guess if you've had no problem then you're good, but I've gone back to stock and to JB at least 12 times now and used the same process every time without a hitch. In the case of OPs problem, I would just go back to stock and try again. Although I always go back to 2.2 stock...
