CWM is gone?! Yes i reflashed.

So um a funny thing happened, i was in rom manager and reflashed Cwm over again. Because i had a custom themed Cwm. Now when i try booting inti recovery it just sends me to the fastloader screen and says recovery img not found!! I tried reflashing via rom manager 3 times already......CWM just wont come back i needed it to flash roms! Im currently on ns collab/franco. I have no clue whats wrong.

Do u have adb and fastboot set up?
If so download cwm 5.0.20 rename it to recovery
Navigate to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Ok problem - i tried flashing via terminal emulator and now when i try to reboot into CWM it stays on the Google Screen. any ideas guys?

Never mind guys,got it working! after the via terminal, i just reflashed on Rom manager. Its ok now, i can get into CWM. Any idea why this would happen in the first place though? its odd.

you have to edit the official OTA zip file and remove it from there I'm working on it

[HOW TO] MiUI 2.8.3 | DS

Okay, to make this clear, Im re-making the tutorial from miuiandroid forum, which is a little bit complicated if you are in noob mode.
So, first of all, to have MIUIv4 installed on your DS, you need the hboot 7.0. If you already have hboot 7.0 , follow from step 1, if you dont have hboot 7.0 follow all from step A :
Download this first : http://bigota.d.miui.com/tools/g12_v4_tools_20120724.zip
A. Rename PG88IMG_hboot_7.0.zip to PG88IMG.zip
B. Put it in your sd card root.
C. Reboot to bootloader from device, or use adb command ( adb reboot bootloader). Once you in bootloader, make sure it's not on fastboot, get back to bootloader, and it will detects the PG88IMG by itself, and confirmation for update will be shown, just press the vol up button to flash it.
D. It will reboot somehow. Delete the PG88IMG in your sd card root.
E. continue on step 1
1. Rename PG88IMG_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTCCN_CHS_3.07.1400.2_Radio_20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.310_release_266765_signed.zip to PG88IMG.zip
2. Put it in your sd card root.
3. Reboot to bootloader from device, or use adb command ( adb reboot bootloader). Once you in bootloader, make sure it's not on fastboot, get back to bootloader, and it will detects the PG88IMG by itself, and confirmation for update will be shown, just press the vol up button to flash it. It's easy, but this PG88IMG is big, so it will take like 5 minutes to load.
4. Reboot.
5. wait untill it finish starting up, you may skip the first time setup or complete it.
6. Delete PG88IMG from your sd card.
6. Now it is time to flash recovery image as you dont have recovery yet.
7. reboot device into fastboot usb
8. in the folder adb, there's flash_recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-saga.bat , run it as it will flash cmw recovery image in your DS.
- if you have error such as multiple device detected or what so ever, open up adb shell and run adb kill-server .
9. Reboot into recovery, full wipe
10. And flash miuiandroid_saga-2.8.3

Also, I didn't flash the second pg88img as mentioned...

Yes, it works. But I dont know what the difference thou. I'm just following what they taught. Do you having any particular, minor bugs or apps fcs?

Everything runs smooth! Albeit home screen can be a bit laggy after screen unlock... Solved by disabling all animations..

hi there
going to try the new miui as havent used miui since the latest GB version.

i think my radio is the same actually, but i may flash again to be sure
also... any other links for the file. just tried to dl and said 14 days time, then cancelled lol
cheers OP for original post

I believe you may need to re flash your recovery after flashing the second pg88img..

To boot in the bootloader you can also power off the phone and then press the volume down and the power button at the same time.
But the fastboot commands later probably won't work if adb doesn't ...

ClockWork Mod wont install in Recovery

I've got a Sensation (I think its a Phillipenes issue) which was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.
Basically I've managed to complete HTC Dev Unlock, then a few days later I lost Wi-Fi connection, so have been trying to continue with installing a Custom (or even the original) ROM in an attempt to fix it.
I've now done Junoptobear to get true S-OFF
Got root access
But cant get Clockwork Mod to install in Recovery...
I've installed ROMmanager Premium and used it to install the latest Clockwork Mod - it states its downloaded and completed but when I go to the bootloader and select Recovery it flashes the white HTC screen for a brief second then back to the bootloader.
I've tried to manually download the Clockwork Mod file and install to Recovery but I get the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?? Many thanks!

Hi there you can install 4ext recovery you can get the file here in xda or even from the play store. Many of us use 4ext because it has many options and is very easy to use.personally I prefer 4ext. All I did was download from the play store and opened the app follow directions choose version of recovery and it will flash from the application. I was already rooted and soff when I did it but it's very easy to do. I really think you will like 4 ext recovery. You already have s OFF and root so it should not be a problem. Best of luck to you. I hope this helps! As I mentioned most of us use 4 ext recovery and I doubt you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I may be wrong but this sorta sonuds like a problem abother member was having the other day. I think they may not have a eng Hboot installed. Question why not just let them flash the recovery using the PG58IMG.zip via bootloader?

ClockWork Mod now installed in Recovery!

[Q] got free inspire 4g stuck at white htc screen

I got a free inspire 4g, well two of them, one neeeds a new screen and this one seems like i just have to reinstall android. Problem is, how do i do this? Uploading pics of the hboot and other pics as well

Does it have a custom recovery installed? If not, install one using fastboot. Then flash ROMs from recovery. Don't forget to flash the boot.img from fastboot afterwards.

Not the stock ROM, a custom ROM. Wipe, then flash it from ClockworkMod (which is a custom recovery). Then flash the boot.img from that ROM zip in fastboot.

Ended up switching the screen over to a different inspire that needed a screen.

when you flash another rom you have to flash after the boot.img of the specific rom via fastboot command if you are on S-ON
otherwise if your recovery is 4ext enable smartflash from it and then flash the rom

o i c now so we flash the boot.img of the rom we are about to flash via fastboot and then we flash the rom?
btw whats smartflash and how do we enable it because i hav cwm recovery and im on s-on

Almost every rom thread for android kitkat here says in instructions "use latest 4ext recovery". There's a reason for that.
Install latest 4ext recovery and enable smartflash, then you'll be able to install your roms.

flash the rom through cwm
then boot into bootloader and select fastboot
connect it to the pc
then open a cmd window in your adb/fastboot folder(i assume you have placed the boot.img in that folder)
and type the command fastboot flash boot boot.img

thnx bra and what do you think is the best kitkat rom good for customizing i think carbon 4.4.4 and how do i fix the error 0 when i flash a rom
