Rooted 3.70 with unrevoked 3.31, how to flash roms?

Hey just rooted with unrevoked 3.31 and installed rom manager. No matter which rom I try to flash it fails. Am I missing a step?
Thanks.

You have been EVOfied.

Well them what is it? I'm not a noob, just don't know why it won't flash a rom

I had an issue with RM once. Go to "flash alternate recovery" then flash clockwork mod again. It worked after that because there was an incomplete recovery. Might be your issue. If not keep asking.
You have been EVOfied.

i really never used clockwork mod recovery so i'm not sure how it installs rom's from the app itself. Have you tried rebooting into recovery and manually wiping everything then flash the rom?

Thanks worked like a charm. Got cm7 back.

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.

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!

Where did you get 3.2? 3.0.2 you mean?

Why is cwr 3.0.0.6 not persistent?

I have installed it while in '0.5, and when I go back in, its always gone. Has rom manager been updated for this? Because I think that's they problem. I choose CWR from within rom manager (which is .0.5), and when it reboots I am back in 0.5.
Just wondering if there was an update or a fix/patch I missed.

I don't know what you are doing, so I will just tell you what I have done.
1) Download 3.0.0.6 and save to sd.
2) Flash 3.0.0.5 from within rom manager.
3) reboot into recovery 3.0.0.5.
4) Flash 3.0.0.6 file
5) reboot until rom loaded
6) Once rom loaded reboot again into recovery and should be 3.0.0.6 (do not reflash 3.0.0.5 again, otherwise will see 3.0.0.5 in recovery again)
If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you except to use adb.

Sometimes when you flash a new ROM, CWM 3.0.0.6 doesn't stick. When that happens, just downlaod and install a clean CWM recovery file again from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681) and follow instructions and 3.0.0.6 should stick.

I'm not sure what the other posters mean when they say CWM doesn't "stick". The problem is that 3.0.0.6 is not an officially supported version, and therefore even when it's installed, ROM Manager will continue to say you have 2.5 or 3.0.0.5 installed. Once you've successfully installed 3.0.0.6, don't worry what ROM Manager says about versions. Just boot into recovery and you'll see that 3.0.0.6 is there.

I flashed once and its been there ever since. I dont see y its resetting

It's not resetting. He just thinks it is since 3.0.0.5 is the latest version supported by ROM Manager.

I actually realize that Rom manager merely says 3.0.0.5 and 0.6 is actually "installed". The problem is it doesn't "stick". Even if I boot from recovery not using rom manager, 0.5 is always still there. I am going to download it again and see what happens.
Thx!

Just an FYI for any who had any problems.
Originally, the file I had a link to (and downloaded) was something like clockworkmod-recovery-3.0.0.6.zip (or similar). This apparently is a one shot flash to put you into the 3.0.0.6 recovery while you are already in the 3.0.0.5 recovery. The file that I just downloaded (given above in this thread) actually creates a permanent 0.6 recovery. Just install the file from 0.5 recovery, reboot, and then flash clockworkmod recovery from within rom manager.
At that point, whenever you boot into recovery from RM, it be 3.0.0.6. NOTE: RM will continue to say that you have 3.0.0.5 installed, so ignore that.... 0.6 will be installed.

based on your original post (unless I'm miss reading it) you are flashing the zip file from within recovery, when phone reboots you are going into ROM Manager and flashing CWR which shows as 3.0.0.5 if you use the method in the link "NeverAlwaysEver" posted 3.0.0.6 over writes 3.0.0.5 so it should stick... however I did notice after flashing the newest version of 3.0.0.6 (the one that keeps phone from booting into recovery if plugged in while off) if I selected 3.0.0.5 in ROM Manager it would flash back to 3.0.0.5, I don't know why but that is the only one I have had the same problem you laid out.

One thing I realize is all the posts about these topics can be confusing because it is not always clear whether a poster is starting that they "flashed" cwr, ot merely booted into cwr.
But my problem was solved when I flashed/installed the file from the link by NeverAlwaysEver above when I was in CWR (3.0.0.5). This file is a substitute file which RM uses to flash to a new recovery. So when you flash again from within RM, you are "installing" the 3.0.0.6 recovery. I didn't write RM, so I do not know why it doesn't recognize that 3.0.0.6 is installed and report this as the actual version after you do this, but its a minor issue.
I dint know what zip version you are referring to other than the one in this thread and the "one-shot" one I had (which I got from SoltyPK in some post), but the later one could have utility if you need more than 2 recovery versions (e.g., if for some reason you wanted to have the ability to use the stock recovery (2.5.1.7), cwr 3.0.0.5, and cwr 3.0.0.6., the last one you actually install while in 3.0.0.5, and it thereupon immediately puts you into 3.0.0.6.

If you mean CWM 3.0.0.6 off mode charging from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014554), it says that one is modified from the original CWM 3.0.0.6 and not the newest CWM 3.0.0.6 that TrueBlue_Drew posted (link I gave in previous post). I haven't tried that off mode charging CWM modified from original CWM .6 but maybe that is the reason why it goes back to .5.

[Q] Can't flash Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5

You can try 3 different methods. First try flashing cwm3.0 twice from rom manager before rebooting. Second under the advanced options choose erase recovery before flashing new recovery. Third flash the recovery as a PC36IMG

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Stop using ROM Manager and do everything in Hboot or recovery.
The ONLY thing I use ROM Manager for anymore is to fix permissions.

Remove the -1 in the name, place the file on the root of your sdcard, and then flash in the bootloader.

Drop that file on your sdcard, don't rename it or anything, and just boot into the bootloader. It'll ask if you want to apply the update, so pick yes. Ta-da!

did you follow the instructions for flashing Amon or are you trying to do it thru the software. Best bet is to do it thru bootloader like suggested

Hold Power button and down volume, Bootloader will autodetect and ask if you want to apply the update. Say yes, then reboot into recovery.
You should have a good copy of AMON RA 2.3 BTW...the screen tears are normal.
