ROM Manager

I have used ROM manager before without any problems in my phone running on Eugene's Kanged C6 Rom. But now, after installing Eugene's RC-4, ROM manager all I get is a black screen with a red question mark. If I do nothing it restarts automatically. But if I press vol up-power, I get a message telling that it does not find the update file.
Any ideas?

I'm just wondering if anyone is having trouble downloading it from the market. So far it's staying on the "Authorizing Purchase".

mine just fails sig check but i dont have the eng build flashed and i think that is my prob

Really need help guys...

I have rooted and installed hboot and clockworkmod. Flash clockwork recovery and installed buzz/oc 1.22ghz CM.zip but now my desire hd keeps resetting on the flash screen. I didnt choose backup my rom on the clockwork options and tried restore but it says no files found.....am i doomed? I still can get inside clockworkmod recovery now....please help...

PM me what rom your running etc and ill run through a step by step guide to help you get your DHD working again.
I had the same problem

Dont worry mate, your not doomed at all....the buzz kernel has put your phone in a bootloop, you need to flash the rom to fix it, you can flash a ruu (stock rom) or a custom rom which really is the best thing to do...so much faster thank stock...if you like sense then flash leedroids rom...if you like pure android then flash cyanogen...either way you need to put the rom onto your sd card then wipe everything using clockwork recovery...then flash the rom and your phone will be fixed.. If you then want to flash the kernel you should use the kernel utility update software found in the developers forums..
Really dont panic, let us know what rom you wish to flash and I or someone else will help you.

But i can't place the any roms in my sd card cause my phone can't boot up...

rixsta is right, its a boot loop, and what youve done is flashed the kernal onto your phone without doing a full wipe on the phone...
May i ask have you also install CM yet ?

Can you get into fastboot on your phone...
As in turn phone off hold down the bottom volume button and press power on...keep holding the volume button until the bootloader menu comes up...can you see fastboot??

or go into recovery and mount external storage and mount your SD card then itll appear on your PC if connected by USB

Yes true....but maybe using the kernel utility he can re flash the kernel and push the modules using this software....it sometimes works and would save him flashing a new rom and losing his stock one....I would try this first for sure..

Kernel Update Utility
If you go there, youll be able to flash a kernal easily like rixsta said.
If you still run aground, give the forum a buzz and we can see what else we can do...

Download the kernel utility here ..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852357&highlight=kernel+utility
Get into fastboot as I said earlier and plug in your usb cable...aahhh the drivers may not install...bet he's not used android-sdk....with a bit of luck he's running windows 7 and they will install anyway..lets say they do..
Follow the utility instructions and flash the kernel...It may fix your bootloop...if not then you are going to have to mount your sd card using recovery and flash a new rom...

snap ......Im sure he needs the android 1.0 driver to use fastboot???....not used android-sdk using the cmd command for a while so I cant quite remember...(yes I know he wont need android-sdk but Im pretty sure the fastboot driver is in with it...
This is why I always say its so important to do a backup using recovery before you do anything !!

Yes it works!!! i am downloading another rom now and then i will place it into the sd card. Thanks !!!!!!

Thank you rista and fko!!! You guys are my angels!!

SNAP... !!
Always do a backup.... You never know whatll get ya
However to save space on my memory card, i store my backups on the PC and if i need to recover, I just put on on the card in the correct folder and its fine
im sure this all fix over now, i would suggest flashing a custom rom... i sooooo bought this phone because the SE X10i's bootloader wast 1024-bit encrypted... and SE aernt letting up lol

Good to hear....well Ive got to call it a night....been up 17 hours
Us flashaholics and modders spend way to much time on the dev forums....its a hard life ..
Maybe it was for the best...you will enjoy custom roms, you can do so much..take a quick look at my DHD screenshot...its so far away from stock now

Fkofilee, you are a great help to people. It's people like you who inspired me to give back what I've learned from these forums. Now we pass the knowledge and experience on. Well done!

No Market

Just tried to flash a rom and the phone rebooted and when it came back I have no market at all. I press on the market icon and I get a note saying to send a message and report it. I am freaking out.
Vinny

Did you flash a gapps (Google apps) package?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

Yeah, you need to flash a Google Apps zip. Roms don't come with them, or well, some do, but technically that isn't legal and Google doesn't like it.

did you do a nandroid?
And here, not sure how these work on a non cm7 rom, but you can give it a go.
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
The universal dpi for cm7 might work. You would probably need to wipe your phone
cm6 hdpi might be your best bet

I did a back up and my rom never flashed due to the new recovery I used on rom manager. My original rom (stock with root obviously) came back with al my google apps but the market. I DL the market thru my browser but my phone will not allow the download. Tried going into recovery but the new recovery I dl thru rom manager will not allow me to use my back up or the other roms I have on my sd card. When I go into recovery I get the triangle and the little guy, I hit the power button and volume up and go into this weird looking recovery that doesn't allow what I need.
Help me I'm screwed I think. I think the new recovery I dl screwed me all up.
Vinny

Put the old recovery on it then, and restore your nandroid.
If you ended up with stock, you may have lost your root. So root again and install the recovery that you made the nandroid with.

I'm a bit confused.
It looks like you're using the stock recovery. Somehow you corrupted flashing a recovery.
You're far from screwed. If you can flash clockwork 3.0 from ROM manager. If that doesn't work, try this.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
I would advise using clockwork, as it has tight integration with ROM manager. Here's the download for that.
http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img
IF you lost root, you're going to have to go through a lengthy process. Let me know if you need help.

cwm failure

I have CWM 3.0.0.5 and I am unable to load any new roms now. I do not know if this is a common occurrence but everytime I try to boot into recovery, I get a quick flash of the htc logo and it just keeps going to the bootloader. Is this happening to anyone else?

Not sure what is causing it but when I had that problem I first booted to the ROM I had and went copied the *.img file for clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 to /clockworkmod/download/mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/ by mounting my Desire Z as a disk.
I found a copy here of that *.img file in these forums

There is no reason to flash cw3 like that anymore. You can simply do it on rom manager now. You can only flash roms that support clockwork mod 3.

Yep. I am guessing he formatted his SD card which happened to me once. Nice to know though that you can use this as an alternate method if anyone arrives at the same situation

I didnt format my sd. also, it was installed via rom manager. I loaded virtuous and everything works great, but when I went to load up cm7, it wouldn't load into cwm.

Someone may need to correct me on this but at the top of my head there are certain ROMs that will not work properly with 3.0.0.5. You may need to downgrade it to 2.5.1.3.
Better clarify this first before going ahead.

The new 3.0.0.5 CWM recovery thru Rom Manager now supports all 2.2 and 2.3 roms. No need to use 2.5.1.3 anymore.

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.

Thanks Phateless.......Here's a question though, would you recommend flashing over the pd15img in your sig with the update or should I try manually doing the update(I saw a thread on here about it some while back)???

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)
