[Q] Flashed the wrong Clockworkmod recovery to Huawei U8150

Hi,
I got my Huawei U8150 two days ago and I rooted it with z4root . Then I wanted to backup the original ROM before removing some stock apps.
So I installed ROM Mgr 2.5.1.2 and flashed the ClockworkMod recovery 2.5.0.1. When I tried to backup my current ROM, I rebooted to a black screen .
Eventually I found the 1.8.1.4 recovery image should be used in another forum .
Question => How to reflash 2.5.0.1 with 1.8.1.4? I tried in ROM Mgr but got an error.
Many thanks in advance.

Same Problem
Did you find any solution. I also flashed clockworkmod version 2.5.0.7 using Huawei pulse mini option. ROM Manager v3.0.0.7
Now when I go to recovery mode my phone has black screen. No recovery screen.
Please respond how to get my stock recovery back

Flash a stock Ideos Rom. Its recovery will replace yours

Dear eidolon88.
Thanks for your prompt response. You people are really great. I have found stock ROM on xdadevelopers wiki website.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Huawei_U8150_IDEOS#Official_ROMs
Is this right?
And can you recommend the guide for flashing ROM. Because I don't have access to Recovery menu.

OK. I'm stuck too. I just installed RomManager v3.0.0.9 with ClockWorkMod v2.5.0.7 for Pulse Mini. Now I cannot boot into recovery. Recovery boot just shows a T-Mobile Logo. Actually, I was making a mistake here and booting into the bootloader. When I booted correctly into recovery I got a black screen. I receive an error when I try to install anything under All CWM Recoveries. So far the phone still boots normally.
If I could locate a working CWM version then I could use the following hack to force install it.

Anyone know of a working ClockWorkMod version for the U8150?
Update:
I found a fix by installing the modified Koush's Clockwork Recovery 1.8.1.4 for Pulse Mini via Linux Terminal and ADB here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/t...lling-a-custom-recovery-image-on-your-device/
Now I can boot from RomManager v3.0.0.9 into ClockWorkMod v1.8.1.4 or boot into recovery via 'vol up + green send + power' even though RomManager says CWM is v2.5.0.7.
Update:
Using the setup in the previous update I was able to successfully backup the current ROM with apps and data to SD using RomManager v3.0.0.9 and ClockWorkMod 1.8.1.4.

Problem trying to backup with ROM Manager

I have just rooted my phone recently on my Droid X using Z4root and it worked fine. Then I backed up my phone using Titanium Backup, which also worked fine also. Then I installed ROM Manager and then flashed ClockworkMod Recovery within ROM Manager. When I click on Backup Current ROM the phone reboots fully without going into recovery. So I open ROM Manager and click "Manage and Restore Backups" and there is no file there.
I tried clicking "Reboot into Recovery" to see if I could select it there and the phone just reboots back to android without going into recovery. So then I turned off my phone and held down the home+power to go into recovery which works. When I'm there it doesn't have an option to backup my ROM. I don't want to flash this ROM I want to try until I can backup my current stock ROM, in case something goes wrong.
When at the blue recovery screen I notice at the bottom in yellow a message is displayed "E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command. Wondering if this is my issue. I also notice in recovery it gives me an option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" but I don't see an update.zip on my sd card, so I'm not sure if I should select this before being able to backup my stock ROM. I'm afraid to flash the ROM before knowing this current problem. Can anyone help me with this issue? I am new to the whole root and ROM hacks, but have been researching in depth and taking all precautions so I'm trying hard not to brick my phone. Thanx in advance.

First off update.zip is just an update.zip package. Could be anything thats an update and can be flashed. Yeah...not sure why rom manager doesnt work for you but all the same your better off doing it from recovery anyway. You can make backups in recovery you don't need rom manager just use rom manager to manage your backups it will see them no matter what! It will allow you to rename them as well so they are easily identifiable also. If your rom manager works youll be able to name the backup before hand! If you ask me rom manager doesnt update the roms fast enough anyway they are usually like 2 days behind! Good tool either way but not so good at replacing roms as recovery does a better job. I have never had one problem using recovery but I've had a problem every time I try to flash a rom using rom manager!

Okay I figured out that the ClockworkMod Recovery must not have flashed properly or something bc I was just at the dev's site and the picture of the recovery is different than mine bc it's green and has many more options to choose from. Plus it says ClockworkMod Recovery on the recovery screen and mine doesn't. It's blue and says android recovery at the top. When I open the ROM Manager it says that I have the ClockworkMod Recovery but I don't. I even tried reflashing but it didn't work either. So how do I get the ClockworkMod Recovery to flash correctly?

I am having same problem but I just use bootstaper and it works fine

I tried downloading the bootstrap from the creator of ClockworkMod Recovery but the link seems to be broken. What bootstrap are u using?

I found the bootstrap for the Droid X on the market and that fixed the issue I was having. Wish I would have known from all the other posts/articles I read that it was a requirement for the Droid X to have the bootstrap to run recovery

[Q] Rom manager keeps asking me to install CWM Recovery but it is already installed

I have a rooted Sony Ericsson X8. I installed rom manager to backup my current rom before doing anything else (other than rooting). When I tried to backup I got that warning saying I had to install CWM Recovery. I looked for tutorials and flashed it thru xRecovery. Next time I booted into recovery I saw that CWM Recovery was installed. I booted into normal mode and opened Rom Manager. Then, when I tried to backup, I get the same warning saying I need CWM Recovery installed (even though it is allredy installed).
I did try "manual flash override" but it keeps prompting that damn list of CWM Recovery phone images where my phone is obviously not listed.
What am I doing wrong? Do I screw Rom Manager and backup/flash manually via the recovery boot mode?

Screw this app, I am doing this the manual way, there seems to be no way to make Rom Manager work.

Bump. I would like to know the answer to this one. I am running cm6. ROM Manager asks me the same thing, and as stated above our beloved sony x8 is mentioned in the list of phones. What do ppl have against our glorious phone

If you are rooted, but on a stock ROM, the stock Recovery will be persistent, i.e it will replace the custom one on every reboot of the device. You can stop this by deleting certain files, (whose names i don't remember, but could probably be found with a search of the forum.)

It's a common issue on Rom manager

start the rom manager and press menu then press manual flash override. should stop asking you.

[Q] Noob question: How to use CWN ROM Manager to install Custom ROMs?

Just rooted my phone, unlocked bootloader and set SuperCID and also installed CWN Recovery.
However, I've install CWM ROM Manager and it cribs about how it can't proceed because I have no Recovery installed. But I do! What could I have done wrong?

it's a known issue. for now, you can launch ROM Manager and choose the option to "Reboot into Recovery". your phone will reboot to recovery and from there you can select a ROM to flash to your device (assuming you've saved the ROM file to your OneXL).

You don't need ROM Manager to flash anything. Just do it from CWM.

Oh! I didn't realize I could use just the Recovery thing. Got everything running just fine. Thanks folks!

Yeah, I don't think ROM Manager even wipes or flashes anything on its own. It just provides a different interface for recovery (reboots the phone and makes those selections for you). And it also provides an interface to browse and download ROMs.

What if I do this? (Samsung SGH-T589R)

So, just recently I've installed dpwguenther's CWM recovery (phandroid forums) which obviously doesn't work. (Just says errors in the log)
Any ways, in ROM manager if I go to the install CWM recovery and go to unsupported device, and click "yes" and "V3+" (It installs v6.0.1.1), what will happen?
Will I get a brick?
Will recovery not work?
