Flash roms from "rom manager"

Is it possible to flash roms directly from Rom Manager without having to start via recovery?
My question is because I cant start my phone in fastboot, recovery, bootloader etc. The screen turns all black if I try anything.
So in Rom Manager there is an option "Flash Rom from SD-card"...pretty much the same that you can see in recovery from clockworkmod. And if I click on it, then I can wipe data and cache also.
Is this a way to flash roms for me if I cant make it to recovery or start the phone in fastboot?

Yes you can flash roms directly from ROM Manager, that is how I do it atleast

nice, will test this! if it doesnt automaticly boots in recovery for the flashingprocess? Or does the rom manager creates a own recovery maybe?

It boots into Clockworkmod recovery I think

Yes it did! and cant boot into that!! Really this is a annoying thing for me!
And I cant run unrevoked again either because I cant boot into HBOOT, so cant install the android bootloader interface. AAAAHH!

Try installing a recovery from rom manager. If there is some problem with the original recovery, it might help. This works by placing the recovery image as 'update.zip' under your sdcard and rebooting. That will her flashed and HOPEFULLY you will have a working recovery.

Ensure you have the update.zip directly under your sdcard and go for a normal reboot. It should flash it and take you to recovery mode.

Have that, and have tryed different versions on the recovery, still only black screen for me when trying this!

Have you tried pressing the power button when in the black screen? I was caught unawares when the recovery mod boot and stays in the cloclworkmod image and not go to the options. I have to press the power button to reach the recovery mod options. I have run out of ideas, sorry.

Thanks for the effort! Have tryed it like 100 times, but cant make it into recovery! Have to take the battery out and restart the phone in normal mode. Thats all I can do, and have tryed all different ways to make it into recovery.
(from rom manager, voldown+power), restart-->recovery, restart-->bootloader)
same results every time...maybe works if I get a new battery or new sdcard or something!

ClockworkMod Recovery HTC Hero

Hi,
I was using Amon RA1.7.0.1 till I found this great site. This seems to be very useful for FLASH Junkies.. Please Comment...

Neo
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Device: Unlocked HTC Hero Grey[GSM]
ROM: Cronos GB 1.1.0 [@315/641 [SETCPU]
Recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery-Hero-v2.5.07
Radio: 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03
Unlocked SPL: 1.76.2007
OpenGLES: 1.1

Hm,easy to install directly via ROM Manager,
but I did it via Terminal app and only with phone,so
no ABD commands needed
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

what is the difference between thes and Amon_RA?
is this faster, or customizable, or just greener? xd

The main reason i use Clockworkmod is becuase you can navigate through folders to flash! No more having to put them on the root of SDCARD!
Example,i have a flashable clockworkmod.zip on the root then another folder called "Roms" that has a flashable AmonRA.zip, as well as folders CMOD ELELINUX VILLAINROM all with roms in!
When i need Amon ra i navigate to Roms/amonra.zip and flash it, then when i want clockworkmod i use amonra and flash clockworkmod from the zip no the root of sd

Wow thats a good function and a good reason i will try it thx for reply

been using for a while now. is most definately the way to go!

Where would I find the amonra.zip as I wouldn't mind giving this a little try but could then easily flash back is required : ) cheers

I did boot into recovery using ROM manager and then it works ok. Booting using the normal reboot menu gave me a freeze as well.

Cheers

Try "Power Off> then Press Home button and press Power On button" this is the normal process for going in ROM Manager. after this it should work via software.

If you install ROM Manager from the market it will install 1.7.0.1 as an option as well as Clockwork

Help......
I just installed Rom Manager from Market and did the "Flash Clockwork recovery"
Now I have a problem - my Hero wont boot into recovery - it just stays at the "White Hero with black background" screen - nothing happens.
I can boot up my ROM. I used to have RA-1.7.0 recovery.
Any suggestions what to do?
Best regards,
Henrik

try reflashing CWM, if that doesn't help flash RA via terminal.

currently using RA-1.7.0 recovery.
would like to try ClockworkMod Recovery Hero v.2.5.0.7.
will i be able to revert back to amon-ra if i don't find myself comfortable with CWM? if yes, then how? sorry for being a noob
i agree it might take some time for me to get used to CWM.

Slow down and think about what you are wanting to say.
You rooted the phone?
you turned s=off?
you downloaded Rom Manager?
You flashed the Recovery image?
What version did you flash?
I'm assuming you flashed 3.0.0.5 since that is the newest CWRI on the application.
3.0.0.5 is only for 2.3 (Gingerbread ROMS)
Download and flash Cyanogen(mod) CM7, either of the nightlies or the RC1 will work. Make sure to also flash the G/apps. Then go to the market re-download the CWRM then scroll to the bottom and flash a older version of CW's Recovery image. OR follow True_Blues method for installing 3.0.0.6.

your phone isn't bricked, but it in "limp mode" sorta speak. To get to the recovery image pull the battery out of the phone, put it back in and put the battery cover back on, Then press the Volume down button (on the rocker) and hold it. Then pres and hold the power button. It'll boot into HBoot and you can use the volume rocker to select recovery and get back into the recovery mode. Then select "mount" the "USB' to move Cyanogen to the SD card, along with the GAPPS.
Then do a factory reset (wipe the hand held) then flash Cyanogen, then flash the GAPPS, then reboot.

SAME EXACT PROBLEM... and it was already answered.

Weird issue with NS4G

Hey there, i did the oem unlock and flashed clockwork recovery and super user. Everytime i reboot my phone the clockwork recovery is just gone., Im coming from an evo so im used to holding the volume down button down at boot with the power button..can i do that to get into clockwork on my Nexus S?

Thanks, alright now how do i boot into recovery without using rom manager? like on my evo i would hold volume button down and hold the power button.... doesnt seem to work on the NS4G

hold volume up while powering up. will take you to bootloader screen, then select recovery option.

Okay after installing clockwork recovery using rom manager when i go to the recovery in fast boot and select it i get the little triangle with ! in the middle of it and a little android\
Edit: It seems like each time i flash it, i can only go to it once, the next time I go to it i get the triangle with the ! in it.

this happened to me too. take out the battery to power off, then power back on and boot, then reflash clockwork via rom manager, make sure you go to all clockworkmod recoveries, make sure you flash version 3.1.0.0...then launch bootloader again.
took me flashing recovery via rom manager 2 or 3 times for it to stick.

Ive done it around 10 times now and its not sticking
Edit: Still nothing, im not sure why it isnt working...

question: did you try backing up via rom manager right after you flashed recovery via rom manager?

No i didnt. Every time i reboot it just disappears D:

also, did you try booting into recovery from the rom manager app after flashing? i was able to boot into recovery via app and fastboot.
update: i'm now getting the exclamation mark while trying to get to recovery. when i reflashed it one more time, i'm able to boot into via app and fastboot again. there's obviously something wrong with cwm recover as its not sticking all the time.

I have it working now.
Using this
BE SURE TO FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD FROM ROM MANAGER AND DO THIS IMMEDIATELY AFTER WITHOUT REBOOTING
At this point you have root, but your phone will continue to replace ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To prevent this, do the following:
1) Reboot your phone, and download the app "Root Explorer" from the Market
2) Open Root Explorer and navigate to the "etc" directory.
3) Tap on the gray box that says "Mount R/W"
4) Tap and hold on the file "install-recovery.sh" and rename this file to "install-recovery.sh.old"
5) Download the app "ROM Manager"
6) Open ROM Manager and choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". At this point you are all set .

I was just going to post that for you xD
Glad to see it working!

cool, glad you found it. idk why my recovery was sticking most of the time w/o that hack

Oh actually...i dont think it stuck...
go figure...

Kind of confused.

So I've had my nook rooted for a while, with CM7 installed. I had used the sdcard bootable CWM and i just went to ROM manager toinstall CWM to my internal, clicked reboot to recovery, and it just rebooted. Any suggestions?

Bump.......................................................

Since your running cm7 just hold down power for the power menu then click reboot and select recovery. That should boot you into recovery. For me using rom manger to boot into recovery doesn't always work.

This is Exactly the same for me. It's 50/50 with rom manager-It's 100% booting into recovery from the power menu.
