why stuck on modaco??

hello all, i recently installed clockwork3.0 to try out the cm7 rom and did so. afer that i wanted to go back to cm6 but decided to try out a custom baked modaco in between. I went no problems to the modaco vision rom and then tried to go back to the cm6 and thats where i ran into the problem. It seems as if though all i can flash and boot now is the modaco vision and desire roms. i try enomther and cm and after the flash and reboot im always stuck at the HTC boot screen which i know shouldnt be there and cant format boot in cwork3.0 without failure error. Even a nandroid back to cm6 wont work. Im assuming this has something to do with the modaco rom writing some apps to /system during install. If anyone can point out my error or explain why this could happen it would be greatly appreciated. Thanke, veritasaequita

You need to flash back to the old ClockworkMod Recovery using fastboot? You have done that haven't you? CWM Recovery 3 is only for 2.3 roms atm afaik.

Cool, thanks for the input bro. Yes I sure have. I did see in the dev forum a thread titled install cw3.0 easily from phone. Is it possible to go back to the old cw by way of using the phone also? Once again thanks for your help

oh yeah, indeed you have hit upon something. Try installing ROM manager via the Market,... then use that to re-install the old recovery.
But if that fails,... then yes, you SHOULD be able to use a Terminal Emulator to flash without using fastboot commands.

calm down take a breather us XDA users got your back, OK take out the battery and put it back in then go to the Hboot ( hold power and volume down) then once you get to the Hboot Settings use volume down to get to RECOVERY (i think its the third one) then once you get into Clockwork Recovery scroll down to (Backup and Restore) click then press (Restore) and then choose your Restore file it usually Year-month-day hope i helped you donate pls if i did
BE SURE TO KEEP THE CHARGER IN!!
p.s. if it turns off while its restoring even with the charger in let it boot into recovery mode and let it charge up a bit
incase you still need help gtalk me [email protected]
and p.s. CWM 3.0.0.5 is for gingerbread only

Certain roms require certain versions of clockworkmod. I don't know if this also applies to restoring from backups, though. Which type of rom did you flash?

If he flashed the add on 3.0.0.5 has ext3/ext4 support. Should be able to flash froyo and TB Rome.

3.0.0.6 supports ext3/ex4 3.0.0.5 only does Gingerbread
Edit: I'm being a dumbass yea what he said was right I'm overly tired and I have to explain to her why I was being a dumbass and trying to flash through fastboot but what I don't understand is why its still stuck at the boot screen

Three options
Option one: (easiest)
Since you flashed 3.0.0.5 you must flash a Gingerbread ROM, (Which you can download from here ). Make sure to flash the G/apps after you flash the ROM.
Option two:
you can flash a 2.x.x.x Recovery image, or flash 3.0.0.6 via script or manually do it via the HBoot.
Option three:
Flash the PD15IMG and start over from ground one.

thank you so much for the advice and help. i could bang my head on the wall for trying to load gorillasens. i shouldve left it alone. once i get home from work i will give it a try again.

Ah. i think i see what happened. You rooted your phone. downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager, then flashed a recovery image (which was version 3.x). then tried to flash a 2.2 ROM.
Okay. so what.....
a common mistake but one that can be avoided by doing a little research.
Clockwork's 3.0.0.5 recovery image is only compatible with Gingerbread (2.3) based ROMs.
Clockwork's 2.x recovery image are only compatible with FroYo (2.2) based ROMs.
gorilla is 2.2 So it's not cannot be flashed by the recovery image you are using.
if that is correct then the text in the recovery image should be orange in color. If that is correct.....If i were in your shoes i'd load CM7 w/ the GAPPS > download CWRM from the markert > scroll to the bottom (all clockwork recoveries) and flash the newest 2.x. then boot into recovery / make sure the text is GREEN, not ORANGE, wipe then flash your GorillaSense.

Can you cite a source, because I've also heard people claim that Clockwork 3 is backwards compatible, but there was no evidence either way...?
How would you go about switching from a 2.2 ROM to a 2.3 ROM? Do you have to backup with CWM 2, then install CWM 3 to install the new ROM? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me...?

3.0.0.5 is not backwards compatible, which is the official 3.x that you download via the Application. 3.0.0.6 which is "beta" flashed via the HBoot is backwards compatible.
It's seriously jacked if you ask me.
to go from lets say CM6 > CM7 one would do a nandroid backup of CM6, then go to CWRM flash the 3.0.0.5 recovery image > boot into recovery and flash the CM7.
now to get back to a 2.2 ROM you have to scroll to the bottom of CWRM app's and flash a 2.x version of the recovery then do your nandroid restore, flash the 2.2 recovery image.
From what i've heard once 3.0.0.6 is finished you can use that for everything.

What a pain...
I'm real sketchy about the Clockwork 3 recoveries for the Nexus, because they've been screwing up partitions (mine included). Has there been any problems with Clockwork 3 on the Glacier?

I haven't had any problems with mine. The only problem that was noted was the 3.0.0.5 prior to the official release wouldn't do Nandroid Backups directly from the application. Some were reporting it work work from the recovery image, but mine never did.
and i have a feeling the reason it's screwing with Partitions is this (CM7/CW3.x) is a Ext4 set up. And CM6/CW2.x is a Ext3 set up.
but since it went official the only problem i've seen is people flashing the the wrong recovery for the wrong ROM. People are flashing 3.x because 3 is higher than 2 so they think it's an upgrade and have no clue on the who/what/when/wheres and whys of what its for.

The partition thing is different for the Nexus, because they are cross compatible to a certain degree. I rolled back to CWM 2, but I can still flash CM7 no probs...
It's interesting to note the differences between the two platforms though (Nexus vs Glacier).

Yea between Google's way of doing thing and HTC, but i'm sure the chip-set has something to do with that. and with the sexy nexi only having 512Mb of memory the factor of tricking the phone to use the SD card has something to do with it i'm sure.

i have the 3.x recovery and i can flash iceglacier which is a 2.2 rom with out any issues. what i can't do is restore my backup from my other phone onto this replacement i just got. i made the backup with the 3.x recovery but i just keep getting stuck at the mytouch bootup screen... gonna try flashing the 2.x recovery and see if it lets me do the restore.

hey there everyone. just giving an update.......phone is still messed up. we tried putting gingerbread on and no go....tried flashing to PD15IMG and starting over. no go, it kept saying that "main version older <bad>" the phone wont go past the htc screen. im going on day 3 and no phone. *sigh* open for more advice. should i just buy another phone?

OMG OMG OMG i fixed it.......thank you for this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957457 i re downloaded the PD(insert file name) and it worked. i broke down in tears. thank you guys sooooo much.

Please help!!!

ok, so I'm a little new at this. But I downloaded the newest version of Iced Glacier, and put it on the root of my phone, but it turns out that my stupid mac unzipped the folder, so I wasn't able to flash it. And for some reason my clockwork in recovery won't let me restore. Everytime I try to restore it just brings me to the original mytouch 4g boot screen.. So my phone can't function now, and I'm getting worried. Any help would be much appreciated!

Just reflash it from recovery without it being unzipped

You will need to redownload it and make sure it doesnt unzip it and then install it again as mark manning said.
If you want to restore your backup of a 2.2 rom you must use Clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.6 or 2.5.1.2 . You can get 3.0.0.6 by making sure you have the latest Rom Manager from the market and then downloading and installing the zip I provide in the dev section or in my signature. You can DL it straight to your phone if you want just make sure to move it out of any folders on your sdcard before you try to install it.

You need to flash the GAPP.zip same way you flashed your rom go to the CM thread you will see it. Once GApp.zip is flashed you will be able to use Market, GMail, ect other Google related service. Normally CM can't supply these packages as they are not allowed to distribute.

[ATTN] ROM Manager 4 + ClockWorkMod 2.X causes Touchscreen Brick

Hello All,
I would like to report that the newest version of ROM Manager which I have installed on my device caused a touch-screen problem.
I transferred the ROM to my SD card and used the newest version of ROM Manager to flash it.
After it was done, I turned on my device and found out the touchscreen completely broke. I could see the visuals on my screen, but I could not click on any buttons and the touchscreen is rendered useless.
I tried to manually enter the bootloader (switching off the phone, click once on the power button and hold on the vol down key until you see a white screen than click to recovery) to flash another ROM, but no matter which ROMs I flashed, the touchscreen did not work at all.
So I decided to RUU my phone back to it's original condition and send back to HTC (RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed)
and after it complete the flash, the touchscreen works again.
So I would just like to conclude that the newest version of ROM Manager caused problems with ClockworkMod 2.X
Thanks.

Many ROM's HAVE to be flashed using version 3+ of Clockwork recovery.
Based on the fact that there are still a LOT of people that are using the same combination I would say this is a rare occurrence.
Thank you for your post but I urge people not to take this as a definite. May I ask why you chose to use 2X not 3x of recovery?

I used to get that, there's a certain way of doing it that I found works.
Restore a backup using the older CWM recovery
Boot into the ROM and flash CWM 3.x using ROM Manager
Backup the ROM using ROM Manager
ROM should now restore properly.
I've got the 405.3 version of Sense rooted as a backup that didn't work on CWM 3.x but after doing it this way it works fine.
If you have more than one backup then flash the older CWM and repeat the above steps. The way the older versions backup seems to cause problems if you try to restore using a 3.x CWM.

Can't flash radio, can't fix GPS

So I've got this problem which is driving me nuts...
My GPS isn't working so I need to reflash the 19 radio and then the latest radio again.
I have CWM 4.x so I need to temporarily flash CWM 2.5.0.7 from within ROM manager.
After I do this I can flash the 19 radio (no errors here, everything looks fine) but after rebooting I see that I'm still with the latest (20) radio.
So basically flashing radios doesn't work so I can't fix my GPS...
What can I do? I really need my GPS working...
Any help is very appreciated, thanks a lot!

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk

Yeah I know and that's what I've done. I used ROM manager to temporarily go back to CWM 2.5.0.7 and indeed I don't get any error when flashing the radio but at the next reboot I can see that the new radio hasn't actually been installed...
You mean I should go back to CWM 2.5.0.7 with unrevocked?

Indeed but if you have the file as an image you can take a HTC rom update.zip with all the stuff in it. Delete everything aside from the txt file, add the new radio if the one it came with is not the one you want then zipup and rename pc49img.zip boot to bootloader and it should do the rest
sent from my android powered. tank using xda premium B-)

I would surely agree to this.

Thanks guys for your help.
Do you care to elaborate on how to flash the radio via HBOOT?
I have the radio.zip file, I guess I can't simply rename it to PC49IMG.zip and put it on the root of the SD card, right? What do I need to do?
Step-by-step instructions are very welcome! ;D
Thanks!
EDIT: I use CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 if that matters. Also: Revolutionary S-OFF | HBOOT 6.01.1002 | CWM 4.0.1.4

I hope you know how to go into recovery.
In recovery goto install from sd card. Then goto choose from sd card. Choose the required radio zip file and follow the instructions.

and to do it from hbooot. first download a ruu that has the radio that you want. then follow this giude to get out the rom.zip http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
after you get the rom.zip delete or remove all of the files aside from the radio and the android-info-txt file. rip up these files into a zip(make sure there not in a folder) and rename the zip pc49img.zip
then boot into hboot and allow it to do its business.
bear in mind the usual disclamers apply
you do it on your own head
good luck

Have you tried flashing a sense Rom, turning on gps and going outside to get a good fix on Google maps then without changing any settings reboot to recovery and restore a cm7 nandroid backup or flash a fresh install of cm7, the first time it happened to me I flashed the radio to fix it but the second time I lost gps on cm7 flashing a sense Rom fixed it.

Use rempuzzle and then do the steps as mentioned by Scratch..

Yeah even my gps wasnt working on nightly 256. i did the steps mentioned by scratch (rempuzzle) and now back to #256 with gps working.
remember do not switch off ur gps once u get a fix on sense rom.

i don't know why all this hastle for a minor problem like this. wipe everyrhing, installing another rom so that GPS works then wiping again to flash cm7? i hope you still didn't do this because i have this problem so often and the slolution is simple... ANDROID FLASHER! it takes you less than one minute to flash a radio. or anything (boot animations.....) and it works always. mail me if u have questions.

Just want to say, that I also had trouble flashing radio to fix GPS and when I found Android Flasher, I fixed the radio in very short time!
So I can also recommend trying Android Flasher. Very simple!

Thanks guys I solved by flashing Rempuzzle rom, enabling GPS and restoring CM7. Worked like a charm!
