New ROM Manger update....clockworkmod sticks?

Hey all, the great Koush has updated the great ROM Manager App and says that it should greatly reduce “broken” recoveries because recovery will not need to be reflashed every ROM switch or wipe.
You can check out article and info here:
http://www.wjddesigns.com/2010/08/0...in-proves-its-the-easiest-way-to-flash-a-rom/

I think rather he meant that reflashing rom or reinstalling the app, it would still detect clockwork and not need to be reinstalled.

Yep...he said that it will ..greatly reduce “broken” recoveries because recovery will not need to be reflashed every ROM switch or wipe.
Love ur ROM work ur doing now....Cheers ..

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!

I had the same problem but i installed a previus recovery and works fine formeforme

[Q] HELP - Moto Triumph does not boot after font installation

So I bought my Motorola Triumph a few days ago rooted it and it worked fine even after many reboots.
So a few days later, I installed new fonts and replaced all the existing ones using Font Installer. After I rebooted, the phone does not boot any more, it does not go beyond the M logo screen
I looked all over the internet but couldn't find something useful to fix the problem.
Plz help me solve this.
I appreciate any tips (note: I am not an expert)
Is it bricked?

Your gonna have to wipe dalvik cache and cache in recovery try to boot again. If that don't work wipe data in recovery and be prepared to set up phone again. Don't worry you wont lose root

When I had this issue after a different mistake what I did was flash a stock rom. You're going to need a custom recovery to do so. If you don't have clockworkmod recovery on your phone you can find a installation guide and a download link HERE. As for the stock rom and how to flash it look HERE (I used the regular rom and not the deodex version, only because I honestly have no clue of the differnce xD)
Hope this helps.

Huh, just went through the same thing myself
If what is happening to you is what happened to me, you screwed up Clockopia.ttf (or replaced it with a font Android doesn't like) and are now stuck in a boot loop
Here's how to fix it
You need to install a custom recovery (you should have this anyway so you can backup before trying new things)
Here are detailed instructions, it's easy
http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/421674-clockworkmod-recovery-motorola-triumph.html
Now, at this point, you have a few options:
You can download a stock ROM, flash that, and go back to stock. You will lose everything
You can downloaad stock ROM, and just restore the /system. You do this under backup and restore -> Advanced restore. This will probably get you back up and running and you won't lose any data
You could replace Clockopia.ttf. Attached is a zip file that will do it for you. Put the zip file on your SD card and flash it using CWM (do not use "flash update.zip", use "flash zip file on sdcard" and navigate to it). This will replace Clockopia with the one from stock. Then reboot and you should be up and running

[Q] Errors-Installing stock ROM

Alrite, my phone is ****ing stuck on bootloop, while installing Stock ROM. I install'd stock rom via Odin, After flashing i completed and it says 'Close the serial port and wait until reboot'. So i waited until reboot and after GT-S5670 it show'd me the clockwork mod screen loading something i only remember the last line "E:/can't mount/system.Reboot" (something like that) and voila it's stuck in bootloop of bloody samsung logo. I tried 2 stock roms, DDKT3 and DXKT7, same result on both the ROMS.
Any idea?
And i've also tried replacing cwm version with diff. one. (Same results)
EDIT: I'm sorry but I DON'T KNOW HOW, it fixed it self. After 10 minutes, i started my phone and thought to install custom ROM. CWM was gone and samsung official recovery was there. So i restarted my phone, and it was fixed. But i'm still wondering that i got that message ("E:/can't mount/system.Reboot") like 3 times after every flash of stock ROM done through ODIN at first 2 flashes done (DDKT3) was useless and showed that error and also after the 3rd flash (DXKT7) but after some time , it fixed it self. Still thinking why and how?
EDIT2: Mods can delete this thread if they feel like it's useless. :/

And this is what t i guess:
-You use a custom rom
-Now you flash an stock rom
I think it because your DATA partition is EXT4, stock rom doesnt support EXT4. And in DDKT3,DXKT7 has no data.rfs so DATA partition doesnt convert to RFS
As you said above, Go to stock Recovery and do a wipe/reset Data format DATA partition to RFS

Actually when ever u try to go to stock flash the full package 1st and after one package.. it will boot with no problems

Broke a boostmobile one sv won't boot now

I got a boost mobile one sv for my pop on boost mobile.
the fonts were too small and there did not seem a way to pick larger for him. so I installed font installer and installed a couple fonts alas on reboot I am stuck at the boost logo.
(the phone is rooted)
its not looping it just won't finish boot up. I booted into recovery wiped cache dalvik factory reset NO joy
any suggestions? is there a Jellybean rom without sense ie stock android (or heck with sense at this point) I can safely flash over?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

No stock Android around. I have made a stock odexed JB rom from a boost backup.
For flashing in recovery.
But it is untested as i don't own a boost phone. So you can call it a beta rom!!!
So if you want to try, i can give you the link. But for reasons above, on your own risk.

can't hurt to try so post away.
what is the most reliable "known good" jb rom as well Might as well download that too.

There is atm only one jb rom, but with some things buggy.
I'll send you the link by pm. If it works for you, i'll make it public.

downloading now. will let you know if it works or not. the phone was running ICS does that make a difference to installing this rom? can I just goto CWM recovery and install from zip ?

will not install. clockwork says error expects 3args, got 4 status 7 aborted

Ok, not good for the rom. If you wipe everything it would not matter, if you had ICS before.
So, here is another JB way: look into this thread here.
There you will find a cwm backup. Download and try to restore. Make sure, it is in the right place/folder.
Good luck.

no joy. says error while restoring boot img
I tried advanced restore system (figure do them one at a time) same thing just says error while restoring /system!
suggestions?

Have u tried flashing this Rom? https://www.dropbox.com/s/yubxxnw9lqe60nf/2013-07-19.01.57.24Stock_JB.rar

Did you ever get it resolved? If so, I am curious as to what procedures you needed to take? I have not had any trouble with Font Installer myself butiincase the time comes the info would be valuable as a plan a, b, c, etc. Thanks.
