Ok guys so here is a little something i have been working on for yall. some of you may know rom manager and all its abilities (download roms and flash them without needing a computer, aka "OTA custom roms") well its done. only one team has the roms up and listed right now. now here is for the issues;
-rom manager does not recognize anything but 2.5.1.0 which is the first version of cwm we had going. afaik there are no plans to let it see cwm3 on teh epic
-any roms put on the list will be under premium, sorry ive tried talking to koush but this means you would need to have rom manager premium
now i am hoping we can get more rom devs up on the list and push for cwm3 to be recognized so that users of a certain rom can get notifications of updates and download them via wifi/4g/3g whenever they want. obviously i dont expect people to pay for the premium rom manager when they cant get the free one working.
if any rom devs wish to have their roms added to the list i will not do it for you but after a couple of hours of screwing with the lists (they are javascript.... >.<) i can offer some help on what may not be working. i am in the irc channels almost all the time, if you cant reach me there then shoot me a pm..
P.S. you may be wondering why i posted this in general eh? because this is partially for devs, but its for the users of the epic.. if this is a feature you want then yall need to speak up cuz as it stands now its pretty useless, im hoping by putting this out there that there will be enough of a cry for it that the situation gets handled and then everyone can use koush's awesome program

I thought this app was a cool idea when I first saw it..... then I realized it didn't work, and I never installed it anymore. if you can get it going, that would be awesome.... you've got my vote!

tahts because no one ever took the time to post em on there. im hoping to change that
I'm currently running cwm3; but when I open ROM Manager it tell me im running 2.5.1.0...
With that said.. I wonder if it'll work? ;p
wait you get rom manager to work with cwm3???

No no no. I'm a moron disregard what I said haha.
All thats happened is ROM Manager thinks I'm running 2.5.1.0 when I'm not.
But; shouldn't this just be a redirector issue?
right but even with it thinking you have 2.5.1.0, what version of cwm do you have? does it pop up and ask you to install cwm version x.x.x.x???
I'm running cwm 3 running ext4.
Rom manager works on the phone; but anytime it needs to go into cwm it fails.
It'll hang at the sammy logo. Pulling the battery and powering the phone up normally does the same.
However..doing the three button recovery boot it attempts to load cwm and fails then gives me the Triangle with an Exclamation point inside it..along with the green android.
so how do you get into recovery? also is it 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.0.6?

3.0.0.6
I'm unable to get into recovery through the manager it self. Once I do the three finger salute..it attempts to load and fails; I pull battery and just hold the power button and it loads into cwm.
ok so sounds like 3.0.0.6 is sorta working but we just need to be able to get into recovery normally now....
3.0.0.5 is confirmed to not be working at all
I would love this... had premium on my hero, but sadly I cannot use it on my epic.

Seems to me like it's just a redirector issue; but I've yet to dig into this too deeply so I could be wrong.
It seems to work fine..it just has issues loading directly into cwm.
Hey peeps hopefully someone here can help with almost similar problem.
I used one click root with cwm recovery 2.5.5 in both 2.1 DI18 and EB13. The recovery installed just fine on both.
When I download Rom manager from clockworkmod it doesnt detect that the recovery is installed. I cant do anything without installing the recovery according to ROM manager.
BUT it is installed! Why doesnt it detect it??
How can I get the rom manager to see that I do have clockworkmod recovery 2.5.5 installed?
Or is it not possible yet? I too am a suckered premium owner.

I don't think that ROM Manager can detect recoveries on the phones partitions. I believe it downloads and installs recovery to the sd card.
I some how managed to get an older recovery installed 2.5.1 But still get "an error occured while downloading your recovery." when I click any option and select samsung epic from the prompted list. In an attempt to install the recovery.
If it doesn't install to the fixed partitions how does it install the recovery to boot from? I thought thats where it had to be? That would mean the current recovery I have is in the SD card? then a simple edit of a file would allow it to be detected?

I believe ROM Manager uses the stock recovery to redirect to a zip file on the sd. If the redirector isn't set up right it won't work. The One-Clicks we use to install CWM install it to fixed partition.
I do see that the ACS team is on board with this, hope to see more support soon. On my buddies Fastinate there is quite a bit to work with in Rom Manager, it is a very cool option.
Thanks to all the Dev's

I have doen this too, Clockworkmod replaces Amon's, just reflash amons and it will come back.
Thanks,
I got it working again, but just wondering how would I used this recovery manager if I wanted to ?
I dont think it was properly flashing its own recovery image.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Using Clockwork turns my phone into an Iphone 4?
Jking, does it bring anything to the plate that anons does not? and if so does anyone know if there is a way to manually flash the recovery image from them onto the phone, because if I use it, it just make my phone sit at the skate board screen?

It does have some pretty nice features, but it could cause a brick in the future.
I used it about a month before i had any problems with it.
I wasn't able to flash or restore any nands i had made, it would just spit out error after error. I even tried flashing the ROOT rom and that didn't help either. then when i tried rebooting it just never turned on again and I had to get the phone replaced. On other phones it works great, but on the eris its no good.
I would suggest stay with RA unless you're willing to risk your phone and money.
Cool,
I was just interested in the update rom feature for the Eris, but oh well if its that dangerous >.<
Thanks!
Quick question T2noob, I just noticed your post on the blog for clockwork recovery where you ever able to get past this error.
"The recovery for for the eris 1.8.1.1 isn't working, I tried to reboot into recovery but it never boots, it just stays at the android skateboard screen. If you need anything, testing, info on the phone, ect you can email me at XXXXXXXX"
Yea You need to flash RA then Clockwork thats how he had me fix it, but like i said don't use Clockwork recovery just take a look at this thread im not the only one
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687272
I find it really odd that so many people have trouble with clockwork. Been using it to flash ROMs for months with no issues. Hopefully don't have any in the future!
i've used clockwork mod for 3 weeks now without any problems. also have rom manager installed, same author. i absolutely love both apps. i came from a v3 leak and couldn't get amon recovery to load on my phone, this worked like a charm first time. also i read in the forums that amons recovery is no longer supported by the author unlike clockwork mod which the author updates frequently.

that thread you linked too only has you and the op posting in it. in fact i read that thread before i installed it and thought to myself that 2 people aren't enough to convince me it causes any more problems than amon's. personally i only used clockwork because that is what i could get loaded on my phone and have loved it since. also its been updated like 4 times since May when that link was started. so if it bricks my phone so what it just a phone and everythings backed up in triplicate anyways. be a nice excuse to get me a new toy.
I also believe the op's problem is that he used rom manager to flash amons recovery. now its my understanding that doing that removes clockwork mod recovery and replaces it with amon's. so he actually had a problem with amon's recovery and not clockwork mod recovery. i think the problems occur when people use rom manager to falsh a different recovery instead of clockwork mod which it is made to work with. just my ramblings here.

take it as a grain of salt, if you come into the irc there are devs there that had this happen to them and can tell you what exactly happens. And I used ClockWork for about a month before i got the brick so...do as you like with this information.
well there are a lot of people running clockwork mod without problems. i went to the cyanogen forums looking for who was running cm6, like the op, and there are just as many people using clockwork as amon's. and there were a few reports of nandroid recovery failures using amon's in cm6 as the reason why they switched to clockwork.

I heard that clock work is a great recovery on other devices, but on the eris it's not good the irc devs also worked with the guy who makes the recovery email him if you like he will tell you he had gotten complaints about on the eris. And there isn't an official cm6 for the eris so the people you talked to were running it for other devices. Like I said a grain of salt.

Alternatively, just read my installation instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
I think I'm going to start using a rar format - might be a way to differentiate between the actual release and the update.zip inside. Not sure why I didn't think of that, before.
Still not that simple for me, since even a "Gtablet Vet" like myself tried the OP method and failed. My second out of box new Gtablet went in perma-loop when simply installing straight to 2.0, via recovery folder & update.zip. Ended up having to get CW on the device by putting on the sd card, remapping command and stopping the loop with power + volume to get CW installed. I then had to install TnT 1.02 and then finally got 2.0 installed after that (cache and data wipe of course).
Cleanest way seems install 1.02 via recovery folder / update.zip method and then install 2.0 the same way. Thats is unless I just had bad luck with second Gtablet. VERY possible.
added:
Frankly, we seem at the stage now where CW seems a survival requirement- IF you want to keep trying new roms & updates.

u didn't think of it because it was only a problem to ppl that half read the instructions, downloaded the zips and just tried to install as-is...
Also don't understand why ppl want to keep standard recovery, clockwork is made to install custom roms so its easier for these task

The only issue with cwm is that it's not easy to remove it, once you have it. I think you need to use nvflash to get rid of it. I love cwm but I can't assume that everyone uses it.
And trust me, not everyone does. I sees posts here and I get PM's as well, and many people are still using standard recovery.

I have found that you can put the stock recovery img (let's call it recovery-stock.img) on the sdcard and get an adb shell while booted into cw recovery. Then it's just a
Code:
flash_image recovery recovery-stock.img
That should get you back to stock recovery.

I had to go back to stock at first because I kept getting status 7 errors with CW. Roebeet's suggestion to partition sdcard with CWR seems to have solved that.

Flashed 2.0.0
I liked TnT 2.0.0 and it really helped performance but the gtab is still full of issues....
Out of the box my Gtab's proprietary email and photo app forced closed before ever loading. the viewsonic update didn't fix it and so I flashed it with TnT 2.0.0.
I got a System UID's warning while I did it and I guess that was the cause of those apps not working. I then did a system reset to factory default or whatever its called and lost everything but after flashing TnT 2.0.0 again it worked a lot better and the email app worked great, photo app still doesn't work. My new problems are that the sound and and flash don't work anymore. I reinstalled flash and the browser just crashes whenever flash is involved with a site. Sound will sometimes work when I first boot up but it quits after a while, especially after waking from sleep. A lot of the time I get crackles and pops when I first boot up or wake it from sleep.
I am returning this Gtab and I am going to buy another one from somewhere else in hopes that I don't get these issues out of the box.....I haven't read anywhere that anyone has experienced these specific problems other than the sound; as this is a TnT error; so I warn all, DON'T BUY FROM STAPLES!!!

Yes it did --- I kinda jumped into it and did not really heed Cyanogen's big fat warnings... (reckless flashing) and I couldnt get gapps to flash -- the stuff from rhcp's CM7 thread -- but I got gingerbread going -- then I got distracted all night...woke up this morning trying to make the phone shape up for work -- that was a #fail and the battery seems horrible (then again by no means was it a proper battery test) -- so I decided to restore and that involved new drivers..(for some reason my SDK at work couldnt find the phone so I had to reinstall a fresh SDK (which i named gbSDK)... then found the current recovery at mybrainhurts.com and erased 3.0.0 and fastbooted the froyo recovery back in and restored. easy pie --
gingerbread is a whole 'nother game -- i just hope theres a way to go back and forth between froyo and GB (and eclair/cupcake/donut) without having to fastboot erase and fastboot flash relevant recoveries.
I am sure folks want to know if the new one fixes the "off" mode...and the answer is - i dont know. I didnt check. i kind of hope not because its a feature rather than a bug. theres no quick way to get to recovery when the phone is off. (on to fboot then to hboot then to recovery is too much work)
Is it even worth it to upgrade at this point in time? I'm a bit worried as it seems to be working pretty damn good with what I'm doing now. No partitions on my SD card because I don't care to put apps on it (it's not the fastest class card anyway).

what exactly happened when you flashed the gapps?
at least it didn't fry your g2. i think i might give it a go once i hear a few more success stories. my main worry atm is the ext4 issue. i guess i could just wait until rc1 i guess.
by 'off mode', are you referring to s-off?

I read the rhcp cm7 thread and i needed to unmount system before flashing the gapps. Thats why gapps failed because i didnt read!
By Off i meant how cw doesnt let the phone turn off when charging... i hope cw 3.0 lets us keep that feature.
Ill probably give it another go this weekend...it works its just if you wanna go back to froyo you need to replace recoveries manually..not a big deal but frankly gingerbread isnt all that more exciting than froyo. I feel i have what i need.in Froyo..the gb keyboard...the gb market... and thats fine with me.

Erase Recovery option
Call me naïve, but if people are making full-blown builds with an image recovery and everything from the CM gingerbread source (which includes the Clockwork Mod recovery 3.0.0 image if I'm reading the source properly), could you just go into ROM Manager, go into Settings, and check the "Erase Recovery" option to allow it to erase the recovery between flashes?
I would test this myself, but I need to go home and make myself fresh builds of CM7 and CM6.2 to try swapping/flashing back and forth between. I can report back once I get around to it later this afternoon.
If I understand that option correctly, applying a full flash of these alpha builds of CM7 should write the new recovery image (v3.0.0.0), and if you need to switch back to CM6, you should be able to just reflash a full build of 6.1.1/6.2 back and it will restore the older recovery image (v2.5.1.8 according to the latest froyo version).
EDIT: Negate that thought. Not sure how you would go about forcing the recovery image flash while in recovery. I got to research this a little more...
Hi All, maybe someone can help me out with this. I just perm-rooted yesterday and have s=off, but I'm still just running the stock rom, haven't flashed anything other than faux's smartass kernel, I am using Launcher Pro Plus instead of MySense though, if that matters at all.
The only other thing I really want to do at the moment is flash one of pack's cool battery icon mods, and it fails at installation through Clockwork recovery. I was told I need to us Clockwork 2.5.1.x to flash it, and here's my problem: In Rom Manager, under "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" when I try to flash to a 2.5.1.x recovery, it says "An error occurred while flashing your recovery". It allows me to flash both 3.x recoveries smoothly, but neither of the 2.x ones work, and I've been searching and reading and can't seem to find any answers. Does anyone know what I need to do? I want that darn battery mod lol.
You likely have a bad download-verify the file size of the download on the website and compare it to the size of the file you actually downloaded

Thanks for the suggestion - I've tried 2 different versions of the battery mod and the file sizes seem to match what's on the site. Neither one works though
UPDATE: I got it sorted out with some guidance from a helpful poster. Thanks Ronin for offering assistance.

Glad you got it figured out-do you mind posting what you did in case someone else should run into this issue....

Sure, no problem. The problem was Rom Manager, it wouldn't let me flash 2.1.5.x, which is needed to install the battery mod. What I had to do was download 2.1.5.2 version of clockwork, move to clockwork "recoveries" folder on sd card, rename "2.1.5.4." so that Rom Manager could find it, then I was able to flash the 2.x version of clockwork, after which the battery mod worked fine. The problem was that before I did this, there was no 2.1.5.x recovery to flash.

Why depend on ROM Manager? You could have used terminal to flash it, then you wouldn't have had to rename the file and could have had it wherever you wanted.

I know this is flame-worthy, but I was doing it through Rom Manager because it seemed easier and less prone to user error. I'm a competent guy, and I'm good at following directions and reading, but I'm not a tech whiz, so I guess I used Rom Manager because it's got a nice user friendly interface and streamlines the process.
No flaming man, just a suggestion since so many people seem to have problems with corrupt recoveries and recoveries not "sticking" when flashing with ROM Manager. In your case it would have made life a lot easier as well.
Lol, yeah, I hear you. But once I realized what the problem/obstacle was, fixing it was actually really easy. It was just the issue of why it wasn't flashing. But I get your point - I could've not had to worry about Rom Manager at all.
Thanks, going forward I'll try alternative approaches to figure out what is easiest and what works best.

Lol, I guess you should use the search function, but it would be hypocritical of me to not provide it for you as I came upon it through the help of another poster. I don't see the harm in saving someone the time from having to dig through a pile of threads to find something.
Someone asked if it was possible to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through hboot instead of using RomManager. The answer...yes.
Primary reason something of this nature may be useful, as I see it, is if your recovery is damaged, your ROM is bootlooping, and you don't want to use or have access to ADB.
In that case you would:
remove your sdcard from your phone
place the zip on the root of the sdcard (using an adapter or another phone) and make sure it is named the appropriate "PG05IMG.zip"
place the sdcard back in your phone
boot to bootloader as if you're installing a radio (power+VolDown from powerOff). It will then find the zip, recognize it as recovery and ask if you want to install (if it does not prompt then select "Bootloader" from hboot).
Follow the instructions and after it finishes flashing pull your battery to power off (since the ROM will be bootlooping and hboot will constantly find the zip)
Now remove the sdcard and delete the zip (via adapter or other phone) like you did to put it on the sdcard, then place the card back in the phone.
Boot back to bootloader (Pwr+VolDwn)
Select "Recovery" and use CWR to wipe data/cache, flash a new rom, restore, or whatever you wish.
Obviously not the only reason since some people prefer this method over RM but clearly in that case the whole sdcard switching mess is unnecessary. Just do steps 2 and 4 and reboot when prompted like you do with radios.
Remember to remove any PGO5IMG.zip from your sdcard when done.
If this isn't useful to you, so be it. I just figured I'd throw this out there. Maybe it will help someone.
I will keep this updated as new versions come out for those few that find it useful.
**Credit to Koush and jcase**
All I did was decide to throw them in a zip that was useful in some situations for panicking users.

Someone asked if it was possible to flash ClockworkMod Recovery through hboot instead of using RomManager. I didn't see the need at the time but I took a few minutes to throw together a test. Let me know if it works for you or not.
I tested flashing the stock recovery from the custom firmware, confirmed it had replaced CWR, then used this to install CWR back.
Primary reason something of this nature may be useful, as I see it, is if your recovery is damaged, your ROM is bootlooping, and you don't want or have access to ADB. In that case you would just pull your sdcard, place this on the root (via adapter or someone else's phone) named the appropriate "PG05IMG.zip", place back in your phone, and boot to bootloader as if you're installing a radio. It should then find it, recognize it as recovery and ask if you want to install.
Additionally, seems if it is as easy as swapping the .img out which is all I did, then the original custom upgrade firmware flashed in the last step of the root guide could include this. Then you'd have CWR immediately after finishing the permaroot guide.
If this doesn't work and doesn't have any use for anyone, so be it. I just figured I'd throw this out there.
BTW, this is ClockworkMod Recovery 3.1.0.2 (latest for mecha at time of posting).
Note1: Only tested on Engr hboot with S-off obviously
Note2: I don't have access to an MD5 generator where I am so people that test this should have a booting ROM with RomManager or at least know how to manually reflash ClockworkMod Recovery if it doesn't work.

Good work.on this... A LOT of people are going enjoy it!! It is also a great way to install the modded 4.0.0.5 Clockwork with the boot to bootloader option.
I always had to "flash recovery" in adb.

Here is your package with the 4.0.0.5 Modded Recovery ready to flash in HBOOT.
JCASE created the Recovery, so him the love for it. I all I have done is use it. LOL It gives you the option under "advanced" to "reboot bootloader". So you can install the ROM, then simply boot into boot loader to flash the radio.

In your case it would probably be easier to just use flash_image from terminal on the phone (i.e. flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img) assuming your current rom has it (if not just search and download it) or you have RM installed. The main case I saw this being useful was if you didn't have or want to use ADB and your ROM was unusable (e.g. bootlooping). I may add Jcase's modded recovery to the OP as well since it seems useful/wanted by some.
I thought the one JCase made had issues with nandroid backups installing? I could be wrong but for some reason I remember that issue for several people.

actually,thats allready how it is ive rooted mr2 twice and the mr1 upgrade allready has clockwork installed.
it is that easy,i have done this,and i have also removed the hboot and stock recovery from PG05IMG RUUs so that i could flash without destroying recovery and my eng bootloader.
thanks for putting it together and offering the download, it has many uses, as people will see. the biggest one allready having been mentioned,if something screws up your OS and recovery,its easy to get it back.
did you make up your own android info file? or what did you take it from?
again thanks for posting this,it was commonplace to install inc recoverys in hboot,and ive done it on the eris as well

Figures. It was too simple of a concept not to have been done but I didn't see anyone that had done it in Tbolt. I also hadn't seen anyone mention it was in the custom firmware either and I didn't have time to check this morning before I left for work. I guess I can pull that part out of the OP since you say it's already in there.

id be willing to bet most people dont know,lol.they prolly just blindly downloAd rom manager and flash it. i checked to see if it was there,after seeing this as one of the last statements in the root post: Reboot your phone. You should now have full root permissions, an engineering kernel and recovery.

its one of the things i really love about htc. i got used to installing recoverys,splash screens,etc. on my incredible,then started experimenting with img files on my eris,and discovered it was quite possible to simply move the images around kinda neat if you want to try a leaked ruu but dont want to wait for someone to post a CWM flashable roms. just pull out the hboot and stock recovery and flash away
it was quite common to manipulate things in hboot on the inc,but never mentioned in the eris forum,where most of the gurus frowned upon the s-off bootloader.kind of a shame... more bricked eris's prolly could have been revived after the clockwork fiasco if s-off was part of the common root process.
thanx for the android info info. when i make them up,it doesnt seem to matter which one i use. i dont think it even checks the text inside,i think you just need a text document titled "android info" lol
