[Q] Please Help - Always Reboots into Clockwork

Good morning,
I started with a stock 2.1, rooted, upgraded to 2.2 and then used the recovery tool to install the the deodex'd, rooted version of 2.2 found below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764304
Now, everytime I reboot my phone, it goes into clockwork mod everytime instead of just booting up. Am I stuck SFB'ing again?

I thought I was the only one. Mine does it to every time. I have asked for assistance but no one has responded.

have you tried to wipe from recovery? or restore a backup?

Yeah, was going to say, you didn't backup?

You cant get past CW or it just boots into it first and you have to choose reboot sytem to get past it?

All you have to do is run droid bootstrap and that will fix your problem. Once u run bootstrap DO NOT CLICK ON REBOOT RECOVERY. Just run terminal emulator and reboot or just power off and power on and u should reboot just fine without going into recovery.

UPDATE: So this worked initially (yesterday). I ran the bootsrap. I then went into terminal and used SU to 'reboot'. Booted right into the OS. However, today I decided to power off and back on and it went back into CW recovery again! I mean, not a showstopper by any means but slightly annoying still.

weird I have rebooted my phone a few times and pulled the battery and my DX goes straight to OS...try redoing what i posted earlier and see if the second time is the charm.

related question. what if i DON'T want it to goto clockwork every time i reboot. i like to use quickboot. right now if i select reboot (as opposed to recovery) it reboots to clockwork.
i still want clockwork, but only when i select "recovery" from the quick boot program.
hope this isn't a hijack... figured it was along the same lines as the OP.

Byproxy... That IS the SAME question as the op... Just sayin...

well... kind of. i'm using the quick boot. so it's not exactly the same. lol.

In clockwork recovery there is a backup function. Its basically the same thing as a nandroid but it does have a few more features like only restoring your data.

yes,its in clockwork recovery>backup/restore options

When I try to choose backup rom i t boots to recovery but get error ,instalation aborted I cannot flash anything via recovery have been using odin..have stock kernel ..

This sound like you are using rom manager to me from the android os. Is this right? If so it also (could be or) sounds like you are entering the default recovery rather than clockwork. Did you install clockwork via one-click or alternative method first?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

One click but I have installed the the one from rom maager..

When the phone reboots from ROM Manager, you need to hold the camera+vol down+power buttons before it starts rebooting.

I tried it already,I just noticed it says android system recovery (2e)

Try turning your phone off than turning on with the three button method. Hold power+volume down+camera. That should get you into clockwork. Lettering should be green and not blue like stock recovery. If it appears blue than you dont have clockwork installed. Try the one click method. It has clockwork redirector which means any apps you may use that has recovery options it'll take you straight to clockwork. Hope this helps.

I have tried that and yes the letters are blue and says android system recovery 2e..is there a manual .img I can flash via adb or terminal emulator I have tried one click that's how I rooted but no luck,I tried rom manager install recovery but no luck.,am starting to miss amon-rec.img but loving the epic so far ..help guys please....the only I can say I miss about the evo is 2.2 but not much

Try the all in one. Its a sticky in the dev section. It roots and installs clockwork with redirector. Or if you can find the one click clockwork recovery alone. Maybe that'll help. Don't ue rom manager so I'm sorry can't help on that app.

It sounds like you don't have CW recovery installed properly. You can't do it from rom manager if you are on stock kernel. Use the newest one click, I think its like version 2.5.5 or something like that. Then boot while holding the 3 buttons. It should bring you to a screen that looks very much like the amon ra recovery (minus the carebear).

Hold down all three buttons until it boots to CWM. If the blue letters still come up then you don't have CWM. The script for the CWM redirector doesn't work properly on my Epic.

Unsure what that means. Does rom manager even install cw? Try the one click. You appear to be doing the right combo to get u to the recovery screen but it seems the default is where you are going to. One click root and cwm with redirector that puppy and let us know how it goes.

Ok I flashed the recovery by itself and I have made a backup succesfully well that's wa I thought ,,when it ry to restore it gives me error sd not mounted ..wa is this guys need help I heard that its possible just to back up data..?I use to use backup pro but it donjt work on epic to restore my layout and data..neeeeed heeeeeeeeelppp

HELP!!!!

i've flashed CM7, and i reboot it, .. after 15min, the screen is the same, what should i do now?is it normal? i'm getting panic

What screen, if it's HBOOT screen, maybe something wrong in the boot process.
If it's CM7 splash, it was being installed.
use adb and type in "adb shell" and then type "logcat -C", if the log is running, the phone is booting

i reflashed it, and my WF rebooted again and again, is it normal?

did you try a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset) before reflash ?
as I say, try to go into shell and use logcat, it'll provide you the log process and maybe you will know if there's something wrong

4.2 kernel is fine, but you can flash 4.1 if you want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798471
flash CM7 first, and then flash 4.1 kernel.
Just wait, the first boot when you flash ROM can very long (around 20min, usablly 5,10min for me)

my phone is ok now!!! thanks a lot!!!
can you give me some instruction of how can i make battery last? actually this is the reason wwhy i flashed this rom

okay, first try to install setCPU, free for xda member, search in the forum
set the min around 160 or >200Mhz and max ~600 or anything you want.
set 3 profile
Screen off: 160-~300
Baterry<20%: 160-~400 or 500
Temp >45: 160-~400
it'll help because you optimize the CPU use.
turn-off some animation, don't use live wallpaper (CM7 use it by default, so turn it off)

cm6 rc2 vs the cm7 rc1

so the question, with the newly build cm7 that just release few days ago, is it better then the cm6 rc2? I read on the forum that cm6 was better but that was before the new cm7 rc1 release. any input?
I am about to flash cm6 to test, as far as cm7 I have issue with navigon not working, some app crashing, I have yet to test extensively.

I would love to hear some feedback on this as well.
RA

It's going to be a little different for everyone as far as connectivity, GPS, etc. There's a FAQ with suggested fixes for some of these issues. Obviously there are features in CM6 that aren't in CM7 and vice versa, so it sorta comes down to personal preference. Quite frankly, both are great.

That is interesting how the phone are not consistent I like cm7 more then cm6 but cm7 is giving me some issue I have to reboot many time
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

The gps issues in cm7 can be fixed by flashing the newest nightly.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=glacier
They're both great roms, cm7 is just the newest stuff.
Clockwork recovery 3.0.0.6 is fully compatible with both froyo and gingerbread roms and nandroids.
On any flash, wipe data/factory reset, flash rom, flash gapps, then let it sit on first boot and give it some extra time to finish loading before setting up. Reboot again after you've signed into google and done the basic set up.

I think I'm gonna flash cm6 rc2 first as well before I go to cm7 rc1. I'm aware that they're both different him their own way, so I think it'll be best if I gave both a try.
Only thing I need now is to get back the 2.2.1 update from tmobile cuz I had to flash pd15img after my first root went haywire

There's actually a new pd15img.zip that includes the 2.2.1 update. Link in my sig.

both are great. I use both, right now on cm7. it maybe buggy depending on what you do. for the apps i use, it's ok but cm6rc2 is pretty much solid all around. upgrade cwm recovery 3006, very easy to switch.

Oh yea you're right! So unzip the file, copy the extracted folder, place it in my sdcard & do the 'vol down+power button' then select fastboot and it should search for the pd15img & load it up right???

No. DO NOT UNZIP. Rename the file to pd15img.zip and place on root of your sdcard. Then boot up as you described, DO NOT SELECT FASTBOOT.
When you boot up into hboot, the phone will automatically detect the file and ask you if you'd like to begin the update.
Make sure that your windows pc displays file extensions and that you are naming the file pd15img.zip and not pd15img.zip.zip (with the second .zip being invisible)

Good luck.

Put your transformer in APX mode by hold the power button & volume up.. If it turns back on do it again, make sure you have you sync cable plugged in and drivers installed. Now that your in APX download this stock rom then root it with viper (option 1 in viper)

Yes there's a fix in there towards the bottom of the first post.
If you want to flash another recovery, turn your device on into recovery, connect it to your computer and use adb to push the file to your internal storage.
It should be something like "adb push filename.zip /data/media" then you can use the borked recovery you're on to flash the one you pushed.

His problem is with it getting stuck in recovery, which is a known issue with Koush's 5.5.0.4, simple fix with adb. No need to reflash the whole rom.
