Rom Manager has a rom for the HTC Doubleshot too

I'd say Doubleshot is looking mighty good with official CWM recovery and CM7

I saw it and about sh+t myself. Today is great day for doubleshot community.

I am also very new to this. So what about the current Modaco CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9? It will still be there but it won't be used? Do we also access nandroid backups from ROM manager? (So in other words, will we only do everything with ROM manager from now on?)

ROM Manager is just a way to access CWM Recovery. If you flash the official CWM Recovery, it will overwrite Modaco's version.

Woot. No more charging issues. Thanks for the heads up.

It feels like my birthday...

I know rite? First, I figured out how to jungle with noc on LoL, and now this? Wins all around.

Installed new recovery through rom manager, to 5.0.2.7 and rebooted into recovery.
All seems well.
BUTTTTTTTT when i tried to do a backup of my current virtuous rom i get an error: "can't mount target path"
And then when testing the restore i get an error: "can't mount path /sdcard"
And when testing the wipe & format options, instead of the traditional Yes or No.... I now have like 10 No options and 1 Yes option.
Something seems bogus, ive reinstalled the recovery twice but same effect.
Anyone??
Whats happened to my recovery guys???

Something with the latest recovery doesn't allow my device to mount and see/work with my sd card..... any advice people?
Where can i get the img file so i can try to flash after a fastboot erase wype.... However i dont see how everyone else has it working and mine mashed.

Recovery?

Anybody know where to get a recovery that I don't have to flash and don't have to be rooted because my coms down and I can't root it. Z4 doesn't work
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium

If i was to recall, it's not possible to get a custom recovery without rooting it.
You could always use stock recovery if that's what you want? ^^

Well that's just it I don't have a recovery anymore it died (personaly idk what happened to it it just stoped working and froze when I wanted to get to recovery..)
Sent from my SGH-T839 using xda premium

You got to have root or your phone won't let you install a recovery. Once you have root, you can install CWM recovery via the RomManager app (free in Play store) according the the sticky in the dev section...

Follow the instruction's of that thread then download Rom Manager on your phone & install the recovery for SK4G also then reboot into recovery then reinstall package's . Enjoy .

CWM recovery problems and how to install .img recovery files

Two questions:
1. How do i flash the new touch recovery without using rom manager (.img file from clockworkmod site)?
2. I installed the latest non touch recovery (with rom manager) but it's causing me problems. Every time i install a new rom I can't boot into recovery. I had to use LG flash tool to reinstall the stock v21e gingerbread and start all over again. Then i installed CM10 (which didnt work) and recovery didn't work again so i had to flash with LG flashtool again. Why is this happening?

With Cm10 I also had problem entering recovery, to enter recovery I've had to remove usb cable, then hold power button for 10sec( to have phone completely off) and then hold 3D+vold down+ power. Was releasing power when have backlight and holding buttons until entering recovery. Hope it will help. For me it works.

Have you tried an older recovery? I'm on CWM 5.0.2.0. Installed with Recovery Manager: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23474089

The older recovery works fine, but that's not the point. I cant think of a single reason why is this happening with the newest version.
So does anyone know how to flash those .img files? Maybe from terminal emulator?

Yeah, you need to use Terminal emulator.
Instructions:
1. Put it on the root of the internal sdcard
2. Open Terminal App
3. Run :
Code:
su
Then
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
4. Reboot and now it would work !

^ Don't know why, but it didn't work for me. Maybe it's needed to install the regular non-touch recovery and then the touch one?
Edit: Nope, that wasn't it. Is CWM 6.0.1.9 for our phone broken? I can't get it to work whatever I try (Recovery Manager or flashing thru Terminal). So I got back to CWM 5.8.1.5 Touch.

I managed to get the latest recovery running. But as soon as I install another rom it stops working. Weird.

What are you using to install them? Cuz it sounds like you are installing some recovery in the system partition like the ics temp ones

i have the same problem with my p920, flashing the newest CWM 6.0..1.9 and trying to reboot into it bricks the device...
i wanted to try out CM10, but i'm stucked on the lg logo after flashing it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35439373&postcount=721 )

At first this thread in the wrong section .
Try this (it's toooo easy) . It worked for me (in GB ) :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1598320
And about flashing the .img . you can flash the .img with omap4boot when the phone in fastboot mode ( this what you should do with ICS) .
Maybe change the twrp.img or cwm.img with the recovery you want to flash . Maybe I'm not sure .

Hit Thanks Button If I Helped

I had the same problem.
The latest CWM recovery (6.0.1.9) bricked my phone upon restart.
I had to flash a new rom to get it working, tried to entrer CWM recovery and it bricked again.
Finally reverted to stock recovery, i'm thinking about flashing CMW 5 again.
Can someone tell me which is the latest 5 version?

^ 5.8.1.5 Touch.
I couldn't make CWM 6.0.1.9 to work (non-touch and touch). Managed to boot into it temporarely, but that's all.

i am using CWM 6.0.1.9 with no problem. it works fine, also i am using CM10.

I used that one to flash stock recovery, it works great.
But I think it includes CWM Recovery version 5.2.0.7, not 5.8.1.5.

I prefer non-touch, I find it more reliable.

If you have any problems with ClockworkMod 6.0.1.9
You can not install the CM10 or Jelly Bam
You have the bootloader locked.
I had the same problem and I unlocked the bootloader.
Now everything works perfectly.

Lolz.. flash a recovery simple. You are lucky that your phone atleast boots.
Dont use rom manager.. use terminal method.

rr0yy I have cwm flashed trough rom manager but many people does not recommend it, why? for me worked perfect
I heard that aroma recovery is better and you can edit files in recovery mode
what recovery do you have and it is safe to flash another recovery over cwm ?

Rom Manager used to be good.. but now it doesnt support our device.
(May be due to ICS and JB.. its been a long time i tried it on GB 'BUT' that is just a theory).
Me and many others have faced soft brick due to Rom Manager.
ClockworkMod stable ver5.0.2.x is good and recommended.
I use AmonRa 3.06 .
Yes.. you can flash any recovery over other.

what is your opinion abouth AROMA RECOVERY ???

There are many mod recoveries for P500. You have to try it yourself and see which one suits you best.
I felt.. CWM was incapable of wiping sdext and other things.
AmonRa works well.

> yep cwm is buggy, better use AmonRA or twrp now.

I think we all are going away from topic

CWM 5.0.2.7
I am using ROM manager to flash the CWM 5.0.2.7 into my P500. I read some said got problem but I have been using this for months in flashing my JB 4.1.2 with no issue. I do have a backup copy of AmonRa 3.06.
If you do not know how to use the terminal, Rom manager CWM 5.0.2.7 might be a good option.

Update CWM

I've searched and Googled... I can't find this at all. How do I update my CWM?? I'm on 6.0.2.3. I hear there is a 6.0.2.8

If you haven't already, download Rom Manager from the play store here.
Open the app, and go to the Recovery Setup section and you can update it from there.

Try this

Can anyone please provide me with the latest s3 Verizon CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 odin flashable tar file?
Thanks in advance!

I made tar.md5's here of 6.0.2.8 for you guys of both touch and regular, you can get them here

I'm going to recommend that you DO NOT use the dd method posted above. Its dangerous. If you were to type the wrong partition, you could very easily brick your device.
If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
Or use rom manager
Or....find some other way....dd is dangerous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

Definitely the easiest method! Just did it two days ago using this method
Its free for the non touch version, or like $1 or $2 for the touch version, well worth it!

I just updated via ROM Manager to Clockwordmod 6.0.2.9 and once I booted into recovery and did a backup, I was unable to reboot the system. I was able to reboot the phone via power + home button power on and installed Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.2.9. I also had the same problem with Clockworkmod touch where it wouldn't reboot the phone.

For those getting stuck in recovery loop...

Tokedup found this link for previous versions...use ez recovery to flash img files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096735

is this a known issue with the latest CWM? i ran into the recovery loop, too.

Using EZ Recovery and those recovery img files at that link work for me to get an older recovery installed. Also verified that I can successfully reboot the phone from recovery again.
