Installed ClockworkMod...

Hi guys,
I've tried using unrevoked 3.3 on my wildfire, with android 2.1, didn't work - so I tried 3.2 and I got the ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1 on there, I can boot into that now,
But still not knowing how to root it,
Can someone give me some advice from here, I get the "Internal error" message and can't go any further, but I assume you can manually do it, since I've got the clockworkmod recovery on there,
Toby =)

if you have clockworkmod recovery then that means you rooted it, just put a custom rom onto your sd card, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card. do a nandroid backup of your rom first.

When I try using Titanium Backup, I get a failed message...

Okay, I installed busy box and it says it rooted, does the clockworkmod matter what version you have?

Nope, you should be fine.

Thank you, I'll let you know how it goes, is Wildpuzzle rom trustworthy? It's been around for awhile right? =)

Yeah wildpuzzle is good, I used to use it.

I had abit of a freak out, I wiped my phone then couldn't load any custom rom =( But now its loading, hoping it works...

I don't know if the rom is loading or not, the screen with the android symbol coming out of the box showed up now and white backgroud with the "HTC quietly brilliant" animation seems to be sitting there forever,
I installed the SUnAaBh v1.1** rom from sc card,
Does this seem right?

First boot takes 10 to 15 min.
You should have done a nandroid backup of your stock rom first, oh well.
If it doesn't boot, do a full wipe, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache in recovery and flash again.

After like 2 or 3 minutes, the screen goes black then the HTC logo screen comes back on and loads again, makes me think its in a loop and no installed right =\

Do a full wipe and try flash again. If it doesn't work, try a different rom.

Yeah, I did a back up with nandroid then moved the files to my computer incase, they was in a folder called orangeworkmod folder?,
Wipe cache?

Yes, you should wipe data and cache before installing a new rom. They are all there in recovery.

Okay, yeah - its all good, was just taking time, does wildpuzzle rom have overclocking feature, or is that a application?

stuck on white htc screen

So i have a desire hd from Three, which is unlocked and unbranded, i rooted the phone via the visionary method, got s-off, used rom manager to install clockwork mod recovery which was 2.5.1 something rather, then i created a backup, upgraded to clockwork 3.0.0.1, tried to install the cyanogenmod 6.1.3 via rom manager but didnt work, so i downloaded the zip file manually and tried to update via clockwork mod recovery now in 3.0, restarted, and am now stuck at the main HTC screen. Pulled the battery, then went back into clockwork recovery, tried to recover the backup i made, rebooted, but still stuck on htc white screen... dont know what to do help!

You could try flashing a RUU to go back to stock 1.32 would be best or you would need to downgrade to root, or you could try getting another rom image on your SD card isnt clockwork 3 4 ginger bread nightlies?
Just throwing ideas out there. Personally I would go woth the RUU.

Thanks for the reply, i remember finding some links with ruu's but i'm not sure which one i need and how to use it ?

Sorry just thought the other thing is how long did you leave it. I have read about people leaving for 30 mins and then it boots..

Start downloading this. Its the RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed
http://www.multiupload.com/N333WKVW6M
while downloading leave your phone to boot it might surprise you..

I left it for a while but maybe not long enough, perhaps 15 minutes at one point? i'll try again, should i wipe data in clockwork and then reflash the cyanogenmod again? is it ok to keep the phone plugged into the computer via usb?

Sorry, once downloaded just run the EXE, it will walk you through the steps.
The Dev section has a lot of useful stuff in it for this sort of thing the 1st post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214 is pretty usefull.

Worth a go whilst downloading, I would wipe 1st. Its good you still have your recovey partition (clockwork) so you should be fine. Use the RUU as the last resort as it will wipe recovery part and loose SOFF etc.. But should fix the phone.

Right so i've wiped data/factory reset and cache partition and dalvik cache, then went to choose zip from sd, chose update-cm-6.1.3-DesireHD-signed.zip, says Welcome to CyanogenMod-6.1.2-desireHD (strange?) completed. Now went to Reboot system now and waiting, still on HTC screen.

is it possible to put another rom on the sd card? i dont have a computer that i can plug the mini sd into, possible in recovery mode?

yes, but i dont know how of the top of my head, i will have a look in the dev forums, i think you use fastboot and u can push files. Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge will see this post soon. I will have a look though.

so its been 30 minutes, and it's still at the htc screen... what should i do? should i try the RUU ? i dont want to brick my phone...

from what i can find fastboot will not push files, adb but may not connect on splash screen. You could just try pulling the battery and leaving it again to boot for a bit, mine has hung before like that. The Ruu should go through and connect to phone and go through flashing. Do you have another phone that could take the SD card? im gonna boot my phone to recovery and try to push a rom to it or file.

ok i am reading this post,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558812
what i would do is goto recovery mode,
he command is:
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push c:\******.*** /sdcard
exemple with g:\update.zip :
adb push g:\update.zip /sdcard
usefull when wrong rom flashed and no sdcard reader ^^

So i downloaded a cyanogenmod 7 nightly build, installed with with clockwork 3.0.0.5, and it worked, booted in, but had a continuous logo loop, going to try leedroid

Good luck, Leedroid rocks, thats what i use. I would say if it is still looping try the ruu and then start again. The RUU will esentially factory reset.

Installed the latest Cyanogen nightly build #23, and it works perfectly now should i keep it? or should i try leedroid? i kind of want to keep using htc sense, as i have all my contacts on it..

Up to you really. I went back to leedroid because it seems faster and more stable for me and I like some of the sense widgets.

[Q] Can't install ROM's on Wildfire, please help

Hey Guy's could somebody give me some advice here as i'm well and truly stuck with adding ROM's to my wildfire. . .
Right i'll try break this down as easy as i can, i bought my wildfire 3 days ago, and its running 2.2.1, i watched one of the latest video tutorials on how to root using Unrevoked (which i now know doesnt work), I installed HTC Sync to get the drivers, then uninstalled it. I then Added the modded Android USB Drivers. Run Alpharex to change my Hboot, and set to S-Off, Then tried running the latest version of Unrevoked, i got the dreaded "Is your firmware to new" message. . . I've always got debugging mode running and allow 3rd party apps!
I then mentioned this to somebody who told me of a different way around rooting my device so . . .
I then downloaded Gingerbreak.apk, then i got Astro off the Market and run Gingerbreak, my phone restarted and WAYHEY I've now got superuser access!
I got ROM Manager off the Market, then i downloaded Clockwork recovery mod 2.5.0.7, CM 7.03, Gapps 20110115, formatted my SD to fat32, put the zips directy onto the root of the SD card. . .
I made a flash recovery, go to install ROM from SD, phone restarts then i get the "Red Exclamation mark triangle"??? i've tried two different SIGNED versions of CM with no luck with either. I've tried running the Anonimo ROM and yet again i get the same red exclamation mark. . .
I've manually tried running recovery from hboot and yet again i get the same problem. . . .
I'm not doing nothing wrong here am i? As ive watched/read/researched dozens of how to's and followed every step exactly as it says!
I will be watching this post constantly as i'm itching to get rid of this nasty FROYO.
Thank you for your time.

I just had to reboot into recovery from hboot menù and selected the zip I put there before (SD root)... If you're trying to istall cm then you don't need to use Rom manager, u can use the usual recovery.
I just tried to istall the latest CM Nightly Builds and 7.1.0 release candidate, I dind't have problems!
EDIT :
Oh dude, it seems you don't have recovery istalled, just follow this tips :
Put the file attached into root of your sd card, then power down your phone, and boot into hboot menu.
let the phone check for a "PC49IMG.zip" file and then press volume up.
after that remove the "PC49IMG.zip" from your sd card and put the rom you want to istall always into root of your sd card, then just istall the rom from there!

Install Clockworkmod Recovery on your NAND Memory. There are 2 ways to achieve this:
1) Using Fastboot: (My preferred method)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
2) PC49IMG
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
If you face issues using the Fastboot technique (I haven't tried the other one), let me know, I'll help you sort it out.

WOW!!!!! It's actually doing it!!! You've both got a thanks vote off me but one thing now (sorry) . . . . ive rebooted my phone and its shown up the blue cyogen mod 7 screen with the blue circle, and it spins round a few times then shows the droid on the skateboard again and starts spinning again, its been doing this for way over 10 minutes now, is there something missing? do i have to boot Gapps from recovery off my sd card before i restart?

No, Its not necessary to flash GApps beforehand. What you are getting is a bootloop.
Reflash Cyanogenmod, but, before doing that, make sure you do a wipe. (Factory Reset / Data Wipe Option in Clockworkmod). Also make sure you wipe cache, dalvik cache (Under advanced), and format /system partition (Also under advanced)
After clearing all this, then reflash the CM Zip file and try again.

Thank you kind sir i did these exact steps just after i wrote my last post and i'm now VERY HAPPILY running 2.3.4
Only problem i've come across so far is the vibrate option for calls/texts in any status (silent etc) doesnt work whats a bit of a shame, but with the improvement in my handset i won't complain!
I could get used to this android business

So, have I bricked my phone?

Used ROM Manager and downloaded Leedriod 3.0, ran Terminal Emulator and did everything by the book. Went into ClockWork Recovery mode and everything looked okay. Then went to HTC boot animation screen and that's where it has been ever since. Every five minutes or so I get the delightful sound of HTC and a permanently on HTC, Quietly Brilliant Boot screen. It's been going like that for about 25 minutes now.
Any help would be appreciated.

No its not bricked, its in bootloop.
This is what i do when it happens to me:
Pull out the battery. If the phone is off, turn it back on with volume down + power on button. Wait till you get the bootloader screen. Now select recovery. In ClockWork Recovery you can set your backup back. (if you had made one before).
I hope its helps you. Goodluck.

Or just copy another rom file to the sd card and flash again.

Unfortunately I made the classic error of not backing up first, was trying to do this while in work (not good) so I presume at this point I'm screwed

Thanks, will try that tonight.

It doesn't hurt to try to flash the rom you already have once again.

Just what joooe said. Use super wipe to clear data. just for sure.
Good luck.

Just a quick thanks to you guys, did Super Wipe and installed Android Revolution 6.20 last night and all went well. It was worth the screw up to have the small learning curve in the end

I did this one of the first times i flashed roms
i did have abackup first but its a scary experience lol

Phone Bricked? Please help

So I rooted my RAZR M using motofail2go, and all was well.
Installed 'RAZR-M-Safestrap-3.12', as I was going to flash a custom ROM. I first backed up my Original Rom using the backup function.
I then wiped 'System', and went to flash the new ROM, but the flash did not work, so I restarted.
Now the problem is when the phone reboots, it showes the Safestrap splash screen with the Recovery option and start normal, but it is not working, as not sensing my inputs or something, after about 5 sec it goes to a blank screen and sits.
I tried to hard boot into the Android System Recovery, and tried to download an official Verizon ROM and install using 'apply update from external storage' using my micro sd, but I keep getting an error E:signature verification failed.
Does anyone know where I can find an official ROM to set it back to normal so I can use my phone again?
Thanks in advance.
Also: My phone originally had 4.0.4 version.

if you can get back into recovery, you should be able to press "restore" assuming you backed up your previous ROM.

What you might want to to is use RSDlite and flash that image you downloaded. This seems like it would help you, though I have not personally tried it:
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick...oid-razr-m-xt907-stock-original-firmware.html
EDIT: And once the flash is complete, I would reboot into recovery again and wipe data and cache and then let it boot into the phone.
EDIT 2: Oh, and in addition to RSDLite, you will need the Motorola USB drivers so your computer can see the phone over USB.

Anyways, Thanks a lot, that got me back up to stock and working, and I was able to reflash a custom rom (flashed to Rom slot 1, then backed up, and recovered into the stock slot). :good:
