[Q] Problems with Clockwork Mod

Using a viewsonic G Tablet, I had initially loaded the clockwork mod. was working fine. Flashed a few ROMs over the last week. Currently running Cyanogen Mod7 Accidentally wanted to see what the ROM Manager app was about. Went and flashed the Clockword mod. Since then, I'm not able to go back into Clockwork mod. Everytime I try to reboot using the Power and Vol + button, it boots back into CyanogenMod ROM. Has a message related to MRC Erase after it says it detected REcovery Key pressed. I want to go back to using Clockworkmod so that I can flash another ROM. Now my computer doesn't even recognize the g tablet as an external storage so can't even access root. What do I need to do to get back my Clockworkmod to work again and how do I get back to my computer to recognize the g tablet. Appreciate the help. All feedback is welcome.

Sounds like you've reverted to stock recovery. Reinstall ClockworkMod. First part of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Before you do, you might want to check the developers thread for your ROM to make sure there aren't any caveats.

But to install Clockworkmod, I need my computer to recognize the g tab as a external storage device. Something it's not doing. So can't go back to it. CAn I download the clockworkmod on the external SD Card on the computer, put it back in the gtab and let it self recognize it and install clockworkmod? Will that work? And why isn't my computer recognizing my gtab as an external storage device. Is there a way I can mount USB storage without going into clockworkmod?

Have you tried using Rom Manager to flash clockworkmod again? Or used it to flash and older version of Clockworkmod?

If you read the thread it shows there is a method to load CWM from MicroSD card (external). Once you have CWM back on then you can mount internal through it.
I dont know why Your tablet isn't mounting. Mine mounts automatically but my configuration is very different from yours. Perhaps you could check the ROM developers thread for more information.

Double submission. Please ignore/delete.

I used the ROM Manger to flash clockworkmod. That's what messed up the clockworkmod in the first place. Trying to see how to fix that. May need to get rid of the ROM Manager.

Flash the alternate recovery in Rom Manager and then delete Rom Manager

I can't even flash clockwork mod from the ROM manager. Keeps giving me a message "An Error occured while attempting to run privileged commands". Using clockworkmod was just so much easier. Just touching one button the ROM Manager has caused me headaches. I need some serious help.

Then run nvflash from the development froum

Tried to run NVFlash, but I get through ok till the point where I have to run the .bat script. What am I doing wrong? Where do I run it? Do I just double click? Because it reports an error when I do that. I"m using Windows 7 64 bit on a HP touchsmart. able to download the usb driver. recognizes the APX. but can't run the last command. Am I just supposed to get a black screen when I boot using Power and vol - button? Cos nothing else shows up on it. Appreciate the help.

I am also Unable to get into CWM after doing an update in Rom Manager. Have tried a bunch of things. still no luck. Power>Reboot>Recovery and RomManager just get me the Deterct Recovery Command - Erasing MCS then straight into CM7
Power/+ gets me Recovery Key Detected but then boots right into CM7.
Please let me know how you make out.

When the tablet is put into APX mode the screen will go black. I don't use windows so I can't be much help with the rest but it would help if you told us what the error is when you try to start the file.

That's exactly what is happening. Was wanting to load the TNT lite or Vegan to try out a different rom and now I can't do it.

I will post the error message once I try it again at home. I do get the black screen. Thanks for your help.

The Message that shows up on the command window
"nvflash.exe" ---bct gtablet.bct ---setbct ---bl bootloader.bin ---configfile gtablet.cfg --create --go
NVFlash Started
NVFlash configuration file error: file not found
Please enter to continue
That's exactly what I see when I double click the nvflash_gtablet Windows batch file

Alright so I tried a few things and it seems like I needed to copy the files rather than the folder to the NVFlash folder. So I did that. NVFlash was successful but now it's stuck in boot loop. Now what do I do?

Ok... if you read any amount of the flashing process threads you would know using rom manager is a quote"****ing bad idea"end quote. Nvflash and a repartition using cwm is your only hope.
Flash cwm as an update.zip and repartition

[q] help!!! Flashed clockwork recovery

Hi Everybody,
I unlocked a Samsung Nexus S 4g, managed to installed clockwork 3.0.2.4 and now when I reboot, it got stuck on the loading screen where it shows "google" and the and the padlock at the bottom. Please help me fix this.
This is my friend's phone. It seems that it does not recognize the sdcard.
Thank you for your help if you can provide any advice.
DUO

Have you ever taken the phone apart? I normally only see that when the NFC/"SIM" daughter board isn't connected. Also, can you boot into bootloader?

Boot into fastboot.
Download the recovery image again. Make sure it's the correct recovery for your NS model (don't use the NS4G recovery on the NS GSM). Flash it using fastboot.
Then go into recovery, do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

Idk why, but my friend had the same problem. He downloaded an older version of CWM recovery through ROM Manager, rebooted into recovery after and was able to install CWM 4.0.1.4 after. Idk if that will help but it worked for him

Fixed it!!!!
Thank you guys for all your help. I had to unrooted and make sure it loads completely and do the whole process of rooting it again with the newest Clockwork recovery for the ns4g.
It took me a good couple of hours and bring my friend home mad at me, but she will be happy today when I get back her phone.
I wanted to thanks all of you for your help. I'm new to this forum but I appreciate your prompt response. I guess I'm going to stick around more often.
Thanks again

When you unlock your Phone, everything is wiped.
After you install recovery, you have to start your Phone by holding the Vol Up and Power button.
Go to recovery - mount your SDCard, copy the ROM that you want to flash and flash it.
You are not stuck on the Google Bootscreen - there is no ROM to boot from.

Thanks alot, it really got me worry but I was able to mount sd card and complete the whole process, now it is running the latest MIUI port for it.

I had a similar issue only that when I would click to flash the zip for clockwork in bootloader it said "file does not exist" I had to run a cmd prompt on my comp to install the clockwork mod.

Have all of you checked the Evo 3D section on XDA? I'm sure you'd get more help and information over there.

Try booting holding pwr and vol down together to boot to the bootloader.
From there you should be able to boot into recovery as long as your root stuck

Nope, when I click recovery, it just reboots the phone.

I am having the same issue. It began after i installed rom manager and flashed the clockword recovery and accidentally deleted the rom on the root of my sd that i was currently running. I tried back tracking. I deleted clockwork mod on my sd card and deleted rom manager from my phone and put my rom back on the root of the sd. Still no luck. It wouldnt boot into the bootloader when i had rom manager and it wont do it when I power the phone up with the volume button down. It just reboots my phone to the current rom i am running. I know this is kinda redundant to what everyone else said, i was just trying to add more details. Replies would be greatly appreciated!

im having the same problems too

same problem here..
i have followed all the steps and already <fastboot flash recovery recovery.img> and it say successful..
after that i go click Recovery my evo3d restart only..
don't boot into recovery...zzz...

Olson that just happened to me too. I flashed clockwork mod recovery from the ROM manager now I can't get into recovery. I was running TWRP... Team win recovery before ibdid this and was having no problems then... Please help!

I'm running Nocturnal stock ROM, ROM Manager, and CWM Recovery and using every option known to boot to recovery results in just a reboot. Holding down power and volume down boots to HBoot.

Same problem for me. I cannot boot into recovery...

What CWM are you guys using? I believe if you unlock via HTC method v5 of CWM wont work but v4 does. If you have a look at the Q&A section in the Evo 3d forum this question has been asked a few times so you may find an answer there.

i had same issue
this is caused when we go into ROM Manager and when >(we update the ClockworkMod)< this is whats not letting us into our revolutionary recovery. It is fixable I did this to my device a few times and just did it again I have to refresh my memory on how to fix it but once i do i will be happy to explain how i did it.

Okay like i had just mentioned in my previous message i had the same issue a few times to fix this is simple i just had to refresh my memory. Open up CMD on your computer and just like you did when rooting your device open up the folder that had all the root necessities mine was "rootevo3dnew" then with you device connected type in "fastboot flash recovery cwm-4.0.1.4-shooter.img" then load the the bootloader by hitting the power button then hit recovery and BOOM lol you got your blue revolutionary setup.

The reason I think you guys have been having this issue is because v5 of cwm is buggy on the EVO v4 is not when you install VIA ROM manager it installs the most up to date v5 this then could cause u to lose recovery.

that is exactly what is happening but theres no need for the panic its just a simple fix all you have to do is install the cwm that came with the rooting files and u will have your recovery back people just need to avoid updating their cwm with rom manager.

[ZTE Blade 3] bootloop, firmware instalation

Welcome. I have a ZTE Blade III. The phone constantly reboots or got bootloop. I tried to install the system from the manufacturer but displays the error: "signature verification failed, instalation aborted". Is there a way to installation any firmware by FTM mode? I know about android, so I think I can handle the repair but need help in finding software and program for flashing beyond recovery. Recovery installed is the standard android recovery (3e). Due to the bootloop I can not install CWM. I beg for help if wrong section please move. I'm new
