Clockworkmod recover 3x - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey I did a search and browsed for the answer without luck... is there a simple way to add the clockworkmod recovery 3.x to rom manager it only has 2.x at this time but would be nice if I could ad 3.x to the list. Downloaded it to my SD card so wondering if there is a folder I can put it in that Tom manager would pick up? Thanks for any help!

U have to do it manually. It won't work with rom manager at this time

Not sure if it works, but I saw this posted somewhere. If it does work its a bit of a hack, but in the folder that rom manager downloads the recovery to, move that file out to a different folder. then put the Clockwork 3 recovery into that folder and change its name to match the original file. Then flash recovery.

Interesting option..

Ok excellent thanks for the help.

Download strait to sdcard from phone

If someone hasn't already done this; can someone please make an app that lets you download strait to the sdcard. I only have access to a computer at home. It would be nice to download the newest ROMs from my phone and skip the computer all together.

Depending on the file, my phone downloads directly to /sdcard/download/
mine to but I want to be able to download a rom directly to the root of the sdcard. If its in a folder it won't work.

ive had roms in folders before, worked for me
Download Astro file manager go into downloads.. Long press and hold on the ROM and copy it.. hit the bottom on the top which will take it to the root of the SD card and there you go!

Usually you download the file directly from the webpage using a Browser, like Dolphin...

You can also utilize a terminal application and utilize the command "mv" to move from /sdcard/downloads/ to /sdcard/. Also, you should be able to install from a folder as long as you mount the system and select install zip from sdcard.

[Q] Has anybody gotten the DroidX keyboard working on their HD2?

If so, can you tell me how to install it? Every guide I've read so far tells me to flash it from recovery... Seeing as we run android off the sd card, this is not possible. Just installing the apk unfortunately does not work.
Thanks in advance!

You can extract the files, then place them in a folder called "root" in your Android folder. That should work but it also might not depending on your build.

[Q] Android boot/splash-screen

Hi all!
I have been playing around a little bit - building the kernel and so on...
When I am starting Android (using haret) a boot-picture is shown while loading Android.
Does anyone know where to turn this off, so I can see the linux boot progress (like on a regular Linux machine) ?
This would be very useful if something goes wrong during the boot process or a fsck is in progress...)...
Thanks in advance!
Otto
Any luck? I am running the old "DISCONTINUED - Stock Gingerbread Rom
by xboarder56" ROM and want to remove the Blue HTC HD2 Splash Screen. I have removed the Nexus Boot Animation and just the stock Android one remains.
I'm interested in such a solution, too. I found it more interesting, to see the linux boot messages than the X.
It is logo.rle.

Look this thread.
I suspect that was the file I was looking for. Now a quick ? I have gone into ES File Explorer and Enabled Root as well as mounting the File System as writeable, instead of read only, and it still won't let me delete the file. Any way to remove this while working from the OS?
Thanks in advance for the reply btw.

Because that file inside initrd.gz. Uncompile that file and delete it from there. The recompile it.

Tried to decompress using OS X 10.6, 7zip on Win 7 x64, and MacDrive. No dice. Sigh.
Anyone have any ideas?

If You want to change or remove the logo.rle look at this.

[Q] LCARS bootanimation

Now LCARS bootanimation for desire
youtube link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zdeQDXGWyQ&feature=related
well, tested it my self on my desire, it works
extreact the signed zip, flash bootanimation through android flasher, thats it, reboot and enjoy.
credit goes to jrams over at htc 4g forum.
here is a screen shot:
file:
I have successfully pushed the bootanimation.zip to the /system/media folder and this runs well on an Oxygen ROM (2.16) however it is far too quick, it gets the the final image with "Memory Alpha Online" and then almost instantly goes black for a few seconds before displaying the lockscreen. Also, the associated sound file does not seem to play. How would I go about fixing these two issues? Or does anyone have a fix already implemented I could simply overwrite?

i did find a reply on a different site but I forgot to bookmark it. He mentioned that he had managed to get the animation both lengthened and the zip converted to edify scripting for flashing with CWM 3 and up, but I have no idea how to reproduce this

I think the ROM manager uses an 'old' CWM 2.5.0.7 as a 'fake flash'. This CWM is able to process the 'old' scripting.
The best thing is, you don't loose your original CWM.
It's just like using the old CWM temporarely.
Go for it and please report back.
Cheers
Dirk
Yes the fake flash with rom manager does indeed work in terms of it will push the files to the system partition. Although it depends which rom you are using as it might push it to somewhere that doesn't get read. This can just as easily be done with es file explorer however.
Is anyone able to tell me how to extend the animation? Is it literally just a case of cloning the files and renaming the sequence and rezipping?

[Q] Create Rom.zip from backup

Hey,
I was just wondering, is there a way to create a flashable ROM (.zip) from an existing backup??
I have used CWM Recovery to create a backup of a ROM that I'm using (BlackICE). It has been customized to an extreme point. Removed several system apps and pushed my own apps to the system. Now I want to save it as a flashable ROM so that others, specifically a few of my friends, could also use it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You could download a ROM, then use the kitchen in the Chef Central section to add all if your stuff and remove the original developers stuff. That's the fastest way I know. I'm sure there is a better way.

Thanks. I know of that method, I was just wondering if it were possible to directly convert a backup to a ROM.
I'll keep searching. Thanks though =)

I've never tried but you may be able to open the backup and get the data from it

Root explorer will allow u to zip the archive and make it flashable.. just go to ur back up location, long press it, then hit zip this file.. it'll be saved to the speed software folder
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Kinda slow with my responses but I tried that and although it did create a zip, I was unable to flash it because the file wasn't signed.
Another question comes to mind..
If I give my backup to someone else, will they be able to restore from it? By placing my backup folder into their /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ ??
Just curious =)

You could try toggling signature verification in CWM and then you should be able to flash..

Yes, that should work, as long as you have the same phones (mytouch4g). although, any texts or personal contact info will also restore to your friends phone

Greetings,
I made image files with dd command (boot.img, recover.img, system.img, etc.).
I zipped them, but when I wanted to flash them (usin toggling the signature), it requests an update file, which is not available.
(the phone is a bit different, Alcatel 918D)
I have been looking for the solution for 3 days with google.
Could anybody suggest?
Thanks,
Cappa.
