Clockwork recovery is not installed, try booting back into the ROM and reflashing, as the red question mark is the original recovery console

The rom manager is saying that the recovery is flashed ok, tried it more times ?

Yes, flash ClockworkRecoveryMod in ROM manager again. I had the same problem and reflashing fixed it for me.

Doesn't your dhd have to be s-off to allow flashing of the cwm recovery?
I got the same before flashing the eng hboot.

Do you have the clockwork custom recovery via noobnl's one click (you access this with the phone off by pressing the vol down, power and camera button) or are trying to use rom manager?
I tried both. They did the same thing

So when you try you see the clockwork mod recovery screen (green) as opposed to blue?
Its still blue. So I guess that's stock recovery.

yes- you want to clockwork version - its green with more options. The stock recovery will only load properly signed roms.
I would go back- use the one click root then install the latest version of noobnl CWM recovery- look for any error messages as the script goes- especially "failed to rm ....."

Flash roms from "rom manager"

Is it possible to flash roms directly from Rom Manager without having to start via recovery?
My question is because I cant start my phone in fastboot, recovery, bootloader etc. The screen turns all black if I try anything.
So in Rom Manager there is an option "Flash Rom from SD-card"...pretty much the same that you can see in recovery from clockworkmod. And if I click on it, then I can wipe data and cache also.
Is this a way to flash roms for me if I cant make it to recovery or start the phone in fastboot?
Yes you can flash roms directly from ROM Manager, that is how I do it atleast
nice, will test this! if it doesnt automaticly boots in recovery for the flashingprocess? Or does the rom manager creates a own recovery maybe?
It boots into Clockworkmod recovery I think

Yes it did! and cant boot into that!! Really this is a annoying thing for me!
And I cant run unrevoked again either because I cant boot into HBOOT, so cant install the android bootloader interface. AAAAHH!
Try installing a recovery from rom manager. If there is some problem with the original recovery, it might help. This works by placing the recovery image as 'update.zip' under your sdcard and rebooting. That will her flashed and HOPEFULLY you will have a working recovery.

I have tryied that! Or do I have to do something after that? With the update.zip? Run it via astro or something?

Ensure you have the update.zip directly under your sdcard and go for a normal reboot. It should flash it and take you to recovery mode.

Have that, and have tryed different versions on the recovery, still only black screen for me when trying this!
Have you tried pressing the power button when in the black screen? I was caught unawares when the recovery mod boot and stays in the cloclworkmod image and not go to the options. I have to press the power button to reach the recovery mod options. I have run out of ideas, sorry.

Thanks for the effort! Have tryed it like 100 times, but cant make it into recovery! Have to take the battery out and restart the phone in normal mode. Thats all I can do, and have tryed all different ways to make it into recovery.
(from rom manager, voldown+power), restart-->recovery, restart-->bootloader)
same results every time...maybe works if I get a new battery or new sdcard or something!

ClockworkMod Recovery HTC Hero

Hi,
I was using Amon RA1.7.0.1 till I found this great site. This seems to be very useful for FLASH Junkies.. Please Comment...
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Hero_(GSM)#ClockworkMod_Recovery
Neo
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Device: Unlocked HTC Hero Grey[GSM]
ROM: Cronos GB 1.1.0 [@315/641 [SETCPU]
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery-Hero-v2.5.07
Radio: 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03
Unlocked SPL: 1.76.2007
OpenGLES: 1.1
Hm,easy to install directly via ROM Manager,
but I did it via Terminal app and only with phone,so
no ABD commands needed
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
what is the difference between thes and Amon_RA?
is this faster, or customizable, or just greener? xd
The main reason i use Clockworkmod is becuase you can navigate through folders to flash! No more having to put them on the root of SDCARD!
Example,i have a flashable clockworkmod.zip on the root then another folder called "Roms" that has a flashable AmonRA.zip, as well as folders CMOD ELELINUX VILLAINROM all with roms in!
When i need Amon ra i navigate to Roms/amonra.zip and flash it, then when i want clockworkmod i use amonra and flash clockworkmod from the zip no the root of sd
Wow thats a good function and a good reason i will try it thx for reply
been using for a while now. is most definately the way to go!
Where would I find the amonra.zip as I wouldn't mind giving this a little try but could then easily flash back is required : ) cheers

I did boot into recovery using ROM manager and then it works ok. Booting using the normal reboot menu gave me a freeze as well.

Try "Power Off> then Press Home button and press Power On button" this is the normal process for going in ROM Manager. after this it should work via software.
I have some question
If i have Recovery-RA-hero-v1.2.2 install . Can i Flash Recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1
in to my hero ?

If you install ROM Manager from the market it will install 1.7.0.1 as an option as well as Clockwork
Help......
I just installed Rom Manager from Market and did the "Flash Clockwork recovery"
Now I have a problem - my Hero wont boot into recovery - it just stays at the "White Hero with black background" screen - nothing happens.
I can boot up my ROM. I used to have RA-1.7.0 recovery.
Any suggestions what to do?
Best regards,
Henrik
try reflashing CWM, if that doesn't help flash RA via terminal.
currently using RA-1.7.0 recovery.
would like to try ClockworkMod Recovery Hero v.2.5.0.7.
will i be able to revert back to amon-ra if i don't find myself comfortable with CWM? if yes, then how? sorry for being a noob
i agree it might take some time for me to get used to CWM.

[Q] wtf i have 2 versions of clockworkmod installed

when i boot the phone, bootloader - recovery , there i have clockwork 2.5.0.1.

That is because ROM Manager downloads and stores a temp recovery on your sdcard which it loads when you reboot with it. When you reboot into recovery manually you're loading the recovery image that you flashed to your device with Unrevoked.
aha
so does it matter from what recovery i install a custom rom?

No, there is only one system disk where install the ROM
i dont see the need of a second recovery

Say you accidently flash over your recovery.img (The system one, impossible unless you have S-OFF/do some exploit)... update.zip (Rom Manager one) to the rescue! And vice versa.
Most common use is if you have CWM 3.0.0.6 like me, and sometimes you need to use Amend scripts for radio, etc.
aha
but i do have s off

[Q] Two Different CWM Versions Installed?

So apparently I have two different versions of ClockWorkMod Recovery on my Droid X. ROM manager says I have 5.0.2.0, but when I reboot into Recovery (via ROM Manager, or manually) it boots into CWM 2.5.0.8. I can then Flash the 5.0.2.0 zip, and use it normally, I just can't boot directly into it. I recently got a replacement Droid X off ebay because my screen developed a huge black blob in it, but it didn't have the same CWM weirdness going on..
Is there any way to get rid of the 2.5.0.8? Everything works correctly once I flash into 5.0.2.0, but it would be nice to be able to get there directly.
TIA
bump?
Anyone?
same here
Hello i have the same issue just by me i cant do any thing in recovery it will just always go to a blank screen in rom manger it will show 5.0.....
in recovery it shows 2.0....
pls help will love you for ever :crying:

i think it has something to do with bootstrap did you try using 2.5.0.8 not sure but i think you should be able to use it the same as 5.0.2.0

Both work, just you can't Restore backups made in 5.0.2.0, using 2.5.0.8.. So ever time I want to do a Back Up, or a Restore, I boot into Recovery and it loads 2.5.0.8, then I flash 5.0.2.0, then run my Back Up or Restore..
It all works, it's just a pain..
Simple solution

Why don't you Boot in to recovery and backup from recovery instead of ROM manger to my understanding that will solve all your problems.
if i helped hit the thanks button

That's what I am doing.. Any way I get into Recovery, by booting directly into it, or via ROM Manager, it boots into 2.5.0.8.
Got it worked out, thanks to this thread..
