[Q] Help Please recovery problems rooted stock rom

Okay, so where to start...
I have a MT4G (of course) i love it dont get me wrongand wanted to mess around with it. i permarooted it via VISONary + and everything was working fine. i wanted to flash a different kernal and wanted to do a nandoird backup before i did anything else. but i needed clockwork to do this (correct me please if im wrong) so i downloaded rom manager flashed it. and went to boot into recovery and it does this icon with a phone and a "!" on the screen...it cant boot into recovery. and i dont know why, and now i just want to go back to my stock recovery but i cant cause i dont know how. ive tried terminal commands... and i tried to learn adb and fastboot but am very lost. basically i want a nandroid of my rooted stock ROM... any help would be much appreciated

The reason is because you need to turn s=off for any of those to work.

Read the guides.

1. The phone with the red triangle icon is from the stock Recovery program. Stock recovery does nothing except show you that screen, unless a special file is found on the SD card, used for a complete system restore. Your flash of ClockworkMod Recovery was unsuccessful.
2. When you do go get past the S=Off phase, and are ready to once again attempt to install CWM Recovery, be sure you install the CORRECT version. CWMR 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread (Android 2.3) based ROMs only! Don't install 3.0.0.5 expecting it to function properly for the Stock ROM, for Iced Glacier, or any other Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROMs. Those all require CWMR 2.x. A higher version number does not mean better. For example, if you are planning to install CM7, back up with CWMR 2.x, then flash CWMR 3.x before installing CM7.
(There is a special, unique to MT4G version of CWMR that handles both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, called "3.0.0.6". You can find threads on it in the Development subforum.)

There's your problem.
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread-based (Android 2.3) ROMs. Evil 4G is a Froyo-based (Android 2.2) ROM. These different versions of Android use incompatible filesystems.
How to recover:
1. Download CyanogenMod 7, a Gingerbread-based ROM, to your PC. Choose the newest release candidate (RC2) or the most recently Nightly build.
2. Boot into CWM Recovery, select "mounts and storage" and make your SD card mountable via USB.
3. Copy the CM7 .zip file to your SD card.
4. Install the .zip after a full wipe / factory reset
5. If you want to stay with CM7, also download the Google Applications (Gapps) .zip to your PC, copy to your SD card and and install it after you complete the install of CM7.
6. Boot CM7.
7. If you want to install Evil 4G, run Rom Manager and have it flash CWM Recovery 2.5.1.2, then reboot into Recovery, full wipe / factory reset, and install Evil as previously planned.

Thanks Ill get on it....
So could I just get CM7 on there then get an older version of clockwork to use the backup I made for the Mytouch rom I had before?
Or is the backup I made pretty much lost because Im using Clockwork V3?

Your backup was made with an incompatible version of CWM Recovery. It may not be usable. That said, some people have reported in the some of the many many threads on this subject that they have been able to restore a Froyo backup made with V3, while running V2. Your results might match theirs. The steps I show above let you stop at CM7 or continue on to Evil 4G, and do not include restoring your Stock ROM.

this gets you running with the 2 versions of recovery, one for froyo, one for gingerbread. whichever backup you want to restore, just use the matching recovery so your old backup is fine

I neglected to mention CWMR 3.0.0.6, that camrs73 just posted about, with a link to its main thread. This is a custom version of CWM Recovery built by option94 that supports both Froyo and Gingerbread filesystems. In order to install it, you need to have a functioning Android system first. You can install it =after= you get CM7 or Evil 4G up and running.

Ok thank God lol
Thanks for the Input guys Ill flash CM7 then download that Clock work and let you know how it went.

* Update im running Cm7 and getting CW installed.

From here if you install 3.0.0.6 Clockwork recovery image (link in my signature) you can flash between 2.2 and 2.3 ROMS w/o any problems.

Yes!!! Im saved!!!
Thanks jggimi ,camrs73 and of coarse neidlinger for your clockwork mod!!
One more question...can I have more than one backup saved on Clockwork?

you can have as many as storage space allows and flash whichever one you feel like at the time (with the appropriate recovery of course)

you are probably putting the 'clk' version of the rom in your storage card for installation. you need the 'magdlr' version of the rom for clockwork mod to correctly install android

Wow I cant believe this worked. You have 2 recoveries, MAGLDR and CLK. So one would think you use the CLK rom with the CLK recovery, and the MAG rom with the MAG recover.
NOPE!!
You use MAG rom on CLK recovery. Jesus christ I spent 3 hours on this.

How to Up-/Downgrade Clockworkmod Recovery?

Hey guys, I am new here and at first I have to say sorry for my bad english :S
However, here is my Problem:
I just made my Wildfire ( Froyo 2.2.1; HBOOT with .01 at end) S-OFF and rooted it manually with this *KLICK* Method.
The Clockworkmod Recovery, which is now on my phone, is Version 3.0.0.6...
And here is the Problem, I can not flash custom Roms based on 2.2.1, it only allow to flash Roms based on 2.3+ and I have no Idea how to update to a newer Version which allow it or to downgrade to an older Version which definitely allow it ...
Any Idea or Solution?
eversearcher

Get ROM manager
click Flash Recovery
wait
click Reboot into Recovery
If you want to use recovery 3.0 reboot the phone into HBOOT and select it from there.
If you want to use recovery 2.5 use rom manager.

or you can use fastboot to install

i`ve got the same problem and i still can't flash less than 2.3+

2nd post of this thread. Flash recovery from rom manager and reboot to recovery from the option in rom manager itself.
If u still face issues, then reboot to recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" and then select "choose zip from sdcard". Then choose the path sdcard/clockworkmod/download/ and enter the sub folders where you find 2.x recovery. Flash it first to get 2.x recovery on the fly. Then you can start the installation of 2.2 roms .

Thanks for the answers! I will try it tonight and report if it worked
edit: Worked just fine!! Thank you very much!

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

since I am facing the same problem.... where can I get the .img version of the .zip clockwork recovery??

thanx !
i figured out now !!! i was a little bit obsessed to flash openfire and some old roms but now i came back to cm7 ... and for gps to work i just reflashed radio

I cannot flash cwm recovery v4. with s-off unrevoke doesnot do so and installing it from hboot or recovery 2.5 does not work. any clues?

You have to rename the ZIP file (!) of cwm recovery 4 to "PC49IMG.zip" and than put it in the root of your sd card.
Start to HBOOT (S-OFF!) and click yes when it asks for update.
It should work this way...

this is will not work, signing lost by renameing. best way is get android sdk,when phone restart in fastboot mode, in pc go to cmd (cd to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools) or where ever you android_sdk installed. extract recovery.img to same folder, insert command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (recovery.img can be a any name.img)

[Q] Problems with going into ClockworkMod Recovery mode

I have rooted my HTC Wildfire and now i need to get CyanogenMod 7 on it ...
i have downloaded Rom manager i flashed ClockworkMod Recovery mode into the phone...
But when i enter Recovery mode its just the regular Recovery screen that comes up...
I have tryied this 3 times and it still wont work (also after resetting the whole phone)
How do i get ClockworkMod Recovery mode on my phone then ?
EDIT :
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?

Flashing from rom manager will not give a permanent recovery for wildfire (when there is no custom recovery at first). But such kind of process is there for other phones.

So how to get cm7 based recovery . Cm7 needs CWM 3.x or higher recovery. The answer depends on whether u have used unrevoked or alpharev (=revolutionary) to root ur phone.
If u used unrevoked, u must be having some recovery. Here u can use rom manager to flash 3.x recovery and reboot to recovery from within rom manager to temporarily get 3.x + recovery which can flash cm7. Or u can download a 3.x + recovery.img file and use unrevoked again to flash that recovery. Here u should select the custom recovery option in unrevoked and point to ur downloaded file.
And if u have used revolutionary, there will be an option during the revolutionary process where to install custom recovery or not. U can choose to install. Or once u have s-off, fastboot flashing will be enabled. So u can flash a recovery from fastboot with the help of a PC. This is more preferrable. There are also other options. If u search the dev forums u will see posts explaining to install recovery through "pc49img" method. Also "flash_image" method. Both these wont need a pc unlike all the above methods.

Problem solved but a new one is here
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?

Choose 'Install Zip from SDCard', not 'Apply update from SDCard'

I have tryied all of them....
inclusive "power down" and not even that works its only removing the text and nothing new comes up

Use the trackball for selecting stuff in Clockworkmod. Not the Power button.

WOW FAIL BY ME !!!
Sry guys im still noob at rooting
Thank you for the help.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
