Rom Manager & Mytouch 4G Slide

Okay, is anyone else having a hard time using Rom Manager using it's features due to the fact that the MT4GS is NOT listed as one of the models. I mean, how am I supposed to enter manual flash override if I can't even select MY phone model. What are WE supposed to do???

we don't have an official recovery yet, so we have to use Modaco 4.0.0.9 for the time being..
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT FLASH THE RECOVERY FOR ANOTHER PHONE..

That's a lil late however, I think I already did that, now I can't even enter recovery mode anymore, and when I power on while holding the volume button down. I get same message about trying to load and then it says no image. Even then if I try to press recovery I get stuck on the white t-mobile/HTC screen. Mt only option if to reboot. I'm st my wits end. Should I just Unroot and then just Root back again?

YES flash the PD15IMG file and start over from scratch with revolutionary and then upgrade to modaco's 4.0.0.9 recovery. There is no support for the MT4GS in ROM Manager and it's not safe at all to flash anything that's designed for another phone unless you want problems! Good luck!

There's probably an easier way. Download the modaco recovery zip, unzip it and grab the img file and rename it to recovery.img. Then reboot into the bootloader and use fastboot to flash the img. That should do the trick.

Just want to say thank you and I'm going to donate some coffee cash to you later. I followed your method of copying/transferring recovery image through terminal emulator on my phone and now it works PERFECTLY again. I think I accidentally flashed a different version of recovery for a different phone model through Rom Manager. So I learned my lesson. I also spoke with Koush yesterday and he assured me that a fix is on the way for the MT4GS, which is great to hear, otherwise, it's pretty much useless to us.

Where on my SD card am I supposed to stick the "recovery.img" file so that FASTBOOT will see it? I am having no luck finding/loading the IMG file....
I got it figured out. NEVERMIND =)

1) Download MoDaCo's recovery to your computer.
2) Download the Fastboot binary for your computer.
3) I'm assuming you have ADB set up on your computer, so type in "adb shell reboot bootloader".
4) When your phone is in the bootloader, type in "fastboot flash recovery */path/to/recovery.img*" and then "fastboot reboot".
5) You should be able to boot into recovery now.

Thank You Sir. I had already figured it out. I felt so stupid when I did too... It happens though... I guess I should have read more.

Yea I did this by accident once, flashed the MT4G recovery through Rom Manager. I suggest just go ahead and dont install that app at all, you cant really do anything with it anyway since most of the options are unavailable unless you flash CWM recovery through the app. Also, if you are using Unity Rom, CWM reads your device as a HTC Sensation, so dont be fooled. Once you flash the 4009 originally you should be good, if you accidentally flash another phones recovery, none of your nandroids will work

Thats actually a horrible score. Your overclocked to 1.8ghz and only at 5000? My RubiX is at 4900 with no overclock. One of my testers got 6100 using unity 1a kernel clocked to 1.6ghz.

if it doesn't work, then I'll try building twrp because I know that has it. That could eliminate the need for S-Off!

Is it possible to flash with terminal emulator?

The problem I've seen with the 5.0.2.7 CWM Recovery is the inability to successfully do an Advanced Restore of selected partitions. Say you only want to restore /Data, if you try to do that with 5.0.2.7 it will fail because of the inability to selectively extract using TAR. Doing a full normal restore works fine.
Has the Advanced Restore been fixed in this version? Note, Advanced Restore works perfect in the Modaco 4.0.0.9 recovery, because it doesn't use TAR.

[Q] HTC One X Not booting in to clockworkmod recovery

i had 5.8.2.7 and i flashed to 5.8.4.0 and now when i try to boot into recovery it just sits at the HTC screen for a while and then reboots

Use twrp instead. Clockwork isn't officially supported on our phone. Twrp is.

That or just fast boot into recovery. Is that way not working either?

The only way I've had any success getting into Recovery with CWM is to go into Rom Manager and boot into recovery from there.

I had exactly the same problem, the only thing that ended up working for me was installing Goomanager and doing it from there.
Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript. This will install TWRP, and worked a treat for me.

I've noticed that when you first do the fastboot flash recovery that when you adb reboot into recovery, or even manually boot into recovery, it won't boot into it the first time. It will after you try again though. This has happened on 3 One X's so I know it's not a single phone specific thing.

Use TWRP, but don't be lazy and do it from the app, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as reliable as my trusty adb commands. If you need help on what commands, PM me. Only three I used, without a hitch.

I used goomanager to install TWRP and it worked just fine.

Flashing a recovery from fastboot is not being lazy. There's actually more work involved than installing from an app. I think you have it the other way around.

Are both recoveries able to install the same roms? or are some roms only able to be installed through CWM or TWRP?
i'm assuming they both install the same way, so all roms should work regardless. It's just that rom threads say "install using clockwork", but i guess that's just a common phrase now..

yeah install using clockwork is common language for use recovery, since cwm is the more well known one.

Just as an opinion, TWRP looks better to me, because its not all just clicks and such, TWRP you slide to confirm, you can flash multiple .zips one after the other (Useful for AOSP roms where you need GAPPS, and if you change the kernel like I do) etc.
Also, as stated before, its an official recovery on our devices, so we get full support should bugs arise.

Did you turn off "Fast Boot" in "Power settings" before you tried to reboot into recovery?
That Recovery is for the International HOX (tegra 3) not for out AT&T HOX (S4).

Does anyone have a link to up to date instructions on flashing twrp to my phone. i have the ATT version not the international

You have. When you rooted your phone. Remember....just put your
"android-sdk-4windows" in your windows path to make this easier to remember from now on. Then you can take your "recovery.img" & place it in your windows root directory. [ C:\ ] (easier to find & delete once you've used it).
Plug in your phone, bring up a command window (cmd in the start command for windows) & type 'cd\' at the cmd line to take you back to the 'path'. There you type...
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery 'filename'.img
fastboot reboot
It'll tell you what it's doing and you'll see when you're done. NOOO problems.

Easy way. Download ROM manager via Play. Open it. It might ask you on 1st boot to flash CWM recovery. If it does let it flash it for you. Otherwise use the flash CWM option in the app. It does it all for you.

Then again......like Agent said....there IS the easy way. LOL

Are you backing up from ROM manager or from Recovery? If you are working from ROM Manager make sure that any spaces beteween the letters of named files are filled in with underscores. Such as CM9_Taco_Salad_on_a_Stick_Edition. If you can't get it to work from recovery you got problems and definitely need to reflash from ROM Manager.

Flashing a Recovery image from a Mac?

I've just rooted my GSII LTE and want to flash a recovery image now but I only have access to a Mac at the moment. Is it a bad idea to use Rom Manager; I hear a lot of people warning to stay away from it these days. Is there another way I can flash a custom recovery from a Mac?
Thanks.

Odin for mac I guess.
Either that or windows virtual machine/bootcamp.

If you rooted then use goo manager to flash twrp. After that you could flash any recovery in our Dev section, as long as its in .zip format

how did you root? didnt you first install cwm to flash the su files, if so you have a custom recovery already installed, now you can just use zip files to install a diff recovery or do what cdshepherd stated
