Issues with clockwork recovery backup feature?

I recently did a back up if my stock mt4g using clockwork. When I went to do a restore of that rom and rebooted it stayed stuck on the mt4g load screen. Anyone else have this problem? Did I do something wrong?

what version of clockwork did you use to make the backup?

3.0.0.5

Welcome to brick world, that's exactly what destroyed my phone and, like you, I was running 3.0.0.5 If you ever do get the phone working again let me know how you did it, please?

The reason your phone appears to be bricked is it (CWRM 3.0.0.5) is a ext4 recovery image, and 2.2 is a ext3 ROM....
. If you find a 2.x version of CWRM you can flash it via the ADB commands and restore the phone.
OR
boot into recovery and flash the CM7 w/ gapps then download CWRM ( the free one ) and flash 2.x that way. You'll have to scroll to the bottom and select one of the 2.x recovery images.
If you can get into Recovery or into fastboot your phone is not truly bricked.

I have CM7 installed and Rom Manager, but when i try to flash an older recovery it says it cannot be flashed. How exactly would you flash the 2.X version via ADB? Thanks.

If you can get into CwM recovery then just flash my zip and use the 3.0.0.6 recovery that is included. Then make sure that you make/restore all backups from recovery and not rom manager. Rom manager is not compatable with CwM 3.0.0.X when it comes to making nandroids.

Thanks a lot, but i keep running into and issue at the recovery. I followed the instructions from your thread, and i got into the blue recovery screen, but it says
"E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't mount DATA:data/recovery/log"
And the only option to restore is the Applysdcard:update.zip and that fails

So, that is the stock recovery. You need to choose the 3.0.0.5 version from "All ClockworkMod recoveries" if using my zip. If that wont work, try sending a new recovery via fastboot or terminal emulator.
You can set up adb/fastboot by checking out the link in my sig and using the command (make sure you rename the recovery to recovery.img for ease of use)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or you can try terminal method by placing the recovery on your sd card and renaming it recovery.img Then open up TE and type "su" then the flollowing
Code:
flash_image recovery recovery.img
If that doesnt work, then let me know and we will find some other things to try.

Whoops haha. Thanks for all the help it's working great now

Can't do either.

CWM Problems

UPDATE: To fix 3.0.2.4 from not formatting /system
Open rom manager and select settings, and check erase recovery. hit menu again and select clear cache, then flash 3.0.2.4 again.
now if your in recovery and you cant boot back up to use rom manager, use the file below. It will allow you to restore your backup then once booted back up use the method above to fix 3.0.2.4.
The reason im leaving custom over 3.0.2.4 is bc i know fastboot flash with this one will allow you to restore without wiping recovery or clear cache or anything else.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/b8ejhqbf3tgnsoe/recovery.img - this is CMW 3.0.1.4 just altered for installing zips. linking for people needing a recover img to boot up
To install:
1. If in recovery, open ur terminal on ur pc and type adb reboot boatloader
2. Once in bootloader it will load fast boot and say fastboot usb in red
3. cd to the folder with fastboot.exe and also place recover.img in that folder
4. then enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
5. adb reboot recovery
6. restore your backup and boot up

RafficaX said:
Little FYI for all, cwm recovery wont format system on a restore. made a backup, tried a flash and went to restore and it fails formatting system.
So be careful with flashing and all bc yo may not be able to restore currently with cwm.
UPDATE: format system in menu also fails! be careful bc you pretty much cant restore or flash atm!

im really hoping Amon_Ra does do his recovery on T-Bolt. I like Rom Manager and its features but would rather loose features for stability and reliability on each use.

A custom compiled one 3.0.1.4, working on porting The Ultimate Droid to T-bolt so blackdroid also compiled cwm to make sure it would install the zip but has working restore. i messaged koush on cwm twitter about the issue so hopefully he fixes it quickly. only problem is the one im running you need to flash through fastboot with adb.

Thanks for the heads up I agree I always loved CWM on my N1 but it started giving me all kinds of grief for several different reasons so I finally went to Amon Ra.

yeah, if you go on their forums all they do is flame XDA left and right. But I find it funny since their roms take advancements from XDA developers and then they incorporate it into their roms...

Yes Clockwork 3.0.2.4 is borked on Thunderbolt. I've been helping people on AndIRC's thunderbolt channel all day. Install 3.0.2.2, it's given me no problems.

I ran into the same problem. I tried to do a restore and got stuck. I used an sd card reader and put the 3rd file from the root thread PG05IMG.zip on the root of my sd card. I then put the card back in. Rebooted into recovery holding the volume down and the power button. It reflashed the file automatically and I followed the steps from 7 on to regain root. Worked for me, but now I have to start over. Hopefully they will get CWM working again. I will be much more careful about what I delete from now on. I think I will freeze it in TiBackup first to make sure everything is still working correctly. Hope this helps.

This is the exact procedure I used when the same thing happened on my N1

i added the recovery.img i used to OP with instructions for those stuck in recovery or bootloader.

Newest Rom Manager is 3.0.1.3 but the newest ClockworkMod Recovery for the tbolt is 3.0.2.4
Under flash clockworkmod recovery it stats the current and latest recovery.

My battery died and am in the same position. Got an expensive paperweight at the moment. I'll try to get another battery today and give this a try. After fooling around with it last night, the computer wouldn't even recognize the phone. Ughh!

[Q] HELP I have PROBLEM WITH MYTOUCH 4G rooted with virtuous fusion ROM

Hi i have a MyTouch 4G rooted with Virtuous Fusion ROM. Everything was working until when I tried to install Miui Music Player on it. I did adb push but after doing it when i unplugged the phone from my computer several Force Close came up then i rebooted my phone then the MYTOUCH Tmobile logo start up screen came then the HTC logo came then my phone will shut down. I tried to start my phone again the same thing happen. I did Hboot and tried recovery from there but it didnt work. I tried Factory Reset but it failed. I go to clockwork recovery mode if i do backup and restore or factory reset nothing happens. Does it mean my phone is gone? Is there anything i can do to fix it? Please anybody help

Im kind of a noob but did you reflashing cwm via adb? Do some research first though.
Also I think there is a trick to flash an older cwm via adb and then flash an older romm that needs cwm 2.xxx but I could be wrong

See my post in your other thread. It sounds like your recovery is fine, so all you need to do is wipe and re-flash.

trouble getting to clockwork recovery

Just got a new Vibrant, and I'm having difficulty getting to clockwork recovery. This is my 3rd Vibrant, my previous 2 were rooted also. I've never had any trouble getting to clockwork recovery, but this phone has been a real pita.
In the past I would just hold the power button and select recovery from the options. Or I would go to ROm Manager and select it there. Now with this new phone, neither of those options work. Any other way to get to clockwork recovery?

I think you have to hold both volume buttons and power until the Vibrant logo dissapears, then it should enter to recovery mode...
That's how it works for me.

If you get Rom Manager, it has an option to boot into recovery mode.

I know, but it doesn't take me to clockwork recovery, just regular recovery.

^ are you trying to flash a rom?
check the noob guide, I put a second update.zip in there that is CWR... you will need to have a rom on your sd to flash if you want to root/flash though. It does not root your phone like the other update.zip (JFD).

Wow, that actually worked, lol.
What changed that I couldn't do it thru the power button or ROM Manager like I have been doing for the past year?

I can't say with certainty. I have tried several times to tell Koush there is a problem, but he seems to think its me.

No Clockwork recovery after ODIN back to stock
Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy s t-mobile)
rooted, ran a version of Trigger for awhile. Tried a MIUI rom yesterday. it barely worked for me. Had to ODIN back to stock. (Thanks XDA gang for helping me figure that one out). Anyway, back to stock. Re-rooted but cannot get clockwork recovery to flash. I try using ROM manager but when I go into recovery it is stock samsung recovery.
FYI, I also tried the second update.zip that is suppose to flash CWR option from NOOB GUIDE.. No luck
Help appreciated, I am a noob but I did make it this far w/o asking for help.
thanks in advance.

To do it from stock you have to reinstall packages 2 times in a row then it will go cwr and you can flash from there.
Seems like. everyone's forgetting this step

Clockwork recovery won't boot nexus s

Hey guys
I'm having an issue booting into clockwork recovery. and i'm having even more of an issue finding the answer, I'm pretty sure that someone is gonna come up with a thread which already answers my Q, I just don't know enough of the terms to search sorry
I've followed instructions here in Kursks walk through to unlock my loader, install super user and install clockwork mod etc.
Clockwork mod and super user are now fully upto date.
I've managed to do a backup of my current rom using clockwork mod.
I have also managed to get the phone to boot in to clockwork recovery from within the android app. But only once.
when ever i now try to do a backup, reboot into recovery, or boot to loader menu and select recovery it always fails.
I get the image of a box with the arrow next to android, then after a few seconds the box and arrow turn into a triangle with "!" inside it.
I'm probably making a rookie error here, but I'm having trouble finding the answer.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hi and thanks for your reply
well i reflashed clockwork mod and selected to reboot into recovery, and that worked fine
I then booted back to android, selected a rom to DL and install, and got the same issue again
re-flashed again, selected a rom to install and that appears to be working
Do you have to re-flash clockwork recovery everytime? or is mine doing something weird?
