Hello!
I am sorry if this question was posted before, I just wasn't able to find it.
I'd like to know if it is possible to install ClockWorkMod recovery using ROM Manager or I have to do it in fast boot anyway?
My friend has this phone and I wouldn't like work with fasboot and things like that I've never heard about, because it seems more complex than the methods of installing a custom recovery for my Optimus One.
Again I'm sorry if it's a noob question.
As far as I know ROM Manager is not working on GT540.

I think we should contact Koush and see if we can get ROM Manager to support our device, but add a warning about flashing fastboot ROMs first (as we need them for recovery to work, lets just say its our version of the Nand Lock )
you can install recovery with root tool box or you can use terminal emulator.
I use yaffs expert.I update recovery very easy

No, you will have to use fastboot or flash_image.

I flashed the LG Optimus One P500 Recovery image on ROM Manager and then restarted it via ROM Manager. It got stuck, so I flashed a LG GT540 compatible ClockworkMod Recovery image via fastboot and now I can use ROM Manager (for fixing permissions, booting into recovery, etc.)
I think you can flash Recovery ROMs via KDZ Updater

Yeah thas is how I done it, sort of. I flashed the GT540 recovery in fastboot, and then in ROM Manager I pressed menu and there was an option to override so I chose Optimus One and it worked fine.
Someone
Someone contact the developers and provide support?

Searched, but couldn't find an answer to this. I rooted and installed ROM Manager so I can do a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM. However, when I press back up in ROM Manager, it restarts and hangs/freezes on the HTC MyTouch 4g splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you flashed CWM recovery after installing Rom Manager. You must flash the recovery before you can backup/restore or install roms. I almost did that myself but luckily i read the thread concerning it again and flashed REcovery before trying to back up rom.
Yeah, I did that first and the problem remains. I just uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager and am about to try "backup current rom" again (unless I should reboot into recovery and back up from clockwork recovery?).
FWIW; Current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
anyone?
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I just started getting exactly the same. Cant reboot manually into clockwork recovery or from Rom manager :/
If you have flashed a recovery beyond that supported by ROM manager, you will not be able to perform recovery functions from the app (i.e. backup). CW3 is required for CM7 ROMs, but will not be supported by ROM manager until the CM7 RC drops. You can still manually boot to recovery (I always Vol up when powering then select Recovery) and if you have CM7 nightly installed, it has a "reboot to recovery" option in the reboot menu.
You need CWM3 to use CM7.

Sometimes it is necessary to flash clockwork recovery more than once before it will actually stick. Also, occasionally it will freeze on the splashscreen after a backup, but a battery pull and turning out the phone should be fine.

Here's what's going on:
The Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market only supports up to CyanogenMod 6.x. For CM7, you need to install Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x, but that version isn't available on the Market yet.
What this means is that you need to find the image file for a CWR 3.x on these forums and manually install it through either a terminal emulator or fastboot. The post below explains how to do it:

If you flash CM7 using CWR 2.x, your phone won't boot. There's just no way around it.

Careful with the terminology there. ROM Manager, the app you download from the Market, is a GUI front-end to the CWM recovery image, but you can download and install CWM without using ROM Manager at all. Just because you have ROM Manager installed doesn't mean that CWM recovery is also successfully installed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't imply that CW ROM Manager and CW Recovery are the same thing though...

You said "the Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market", and that kinda does. No biggie though.
Just an update for my problem, it turned out that clockwork recovery had corrupted for whatever reason and couldn't be reinstalled from rom manager. As I wanted to test Cm7 anyways I just ended up flashing clockwork recovery 3 manually through fastboot and its all gravy again

How to flash clockwork recovery from fastboot or fron clockwork recovery 2.51?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks, everyone. What happened with mine, I have no idea, but I randomly opened rom manager and was greeted with an update to the recovery. So I downloaded it and voila - I can now boot into recovery and do backups, etc...
Hello all!
I had a friend who recently bought a GT540 and I've been doing some research on how flash some custom roms for her.
With every android phone I've had in the past, the method was pretty simple. I rooted the device, installed clockwork recovery, and then flashed a custom rom zip from clockwork recovery.
For the GT540 though, I keep seeing things about something called "fastboot" which I am unfamiliar with. Subsequently for the custom roms available, I see that some roms like swift have separate files. One for recovery and one for fastboot. I'm assuming that each file is for each method.
Question: My question is, do I have to deal with "fastboot" and "KDZ" or can I just install clockwork on it and flash roms zips from my sd card from recovery like I have been doing with all my other android phones?
Thank you everyone for your help, I know that this was a very long and tedious question!

You can read about what fastboot is here. With the GT540, you must flash a 'fastboot KDZ' which activates fastboot. Then you use fastboot to flash recovery. I have a tutorial link in my signature that explains how to install fastboot, recovery AND custom ROMs.
Hope it helps.
Well the reply is going to be very long too.... Anyway the swift does not come with a recovery partition so u have to flash a kdz that "unlocks it" so after doing this you have a recovery partition but no recovery. so u have to flash another kdz to get fast boot. Using fast boot u can flash a recovery to use like u would said.
At this point u can flash rom via fast boot or recovery.
So you could say fast boot is only needed once to flash the first recovery. But since it is there we might as well use it. Fast boot uses .img files while recovery uses .zip files. Our recovery can only be flashed thru fast boot.
Last thing the kdz part is a killer. It killed my phone and some others. Well need more help just ask.

Nope. You just need to flash the fastboot KDZ and then flash a recovery image through fastboot.
Just a question. What partitions are recovery and fastboot in?

Recovery is on partition mtdblock2 (/dev/block/mtdblock2) which is not mounted in android, and fastboot is part of the bootloader.
OK
I think I'll be able to find it on Mount Manager. Thanks
I know there are many of these threads but I can not find a answer to my problems. I am on Nexus Beam V2.1.1. ICS 4.0.1 and no matter what I do I can not get into recovery. I have tried through Terminal Emulator, CMD fastboot, and Rom Manager. I have the ADB drivers installed but what ever method I use just doesn't fix my issues. Please help, thank you and Merry Christmas.
Edit: Btw I have a At&t nexus s
have you tried reflashing it? it may have been uninstalled somehow. If you power down, hold vol up + power to boot into fastboot....does it say recovery is installed?? If not, just use rom manager to reflash it
What hp420 said.
If you need cwm, just install Rom Manager from the market, use it to flash cwm from within the app, then uninstall rom manager (because it's useless crap).
You may need to rename or remove the stock recovery from system if your rom included it, or it will keep over-writing cwm.

in my experiences its usually flashing cwm from rom manager that causes issues getting into recovery. every time i have tried upgrading cwm from rom manager i cant boot into recovery. i have to use fastboot to flash it manually.

Have you tried flashing it twice in succession? It typically doesn't work well flashing it only once.
I am running CM7.2 and wanted to take a backup of my phone. But the phone wouldn't boot into recovery if I turned it on with vol- and power, but stayed stuck on green android instead.
But if I boot into CM7 and select the option "boot into recovery" it goes into recovery and works fine. Please help
Weird. Flash cwm from rom manager again and try.

I have tried flashing the latest CWM from clockwork(5.something) as well as 3.0.1.4... both show the same issue
Furthermore if I flash any TPT it doesnt go into CWM and the only way for me to then recover my phone is to install Mile high moldovian pie TPT+ROM which boots the phone and then allows me to go into recovery and flash CM7

U tried flashing an alternate recovery? Last option in rom manager
Sent from my Supernatural Blade
Try to flash a other ROM, or go to ROM Manager and re-install CWM (I'm using 5.0.2 and have no issue). If the problem is still happening check md5 of the files (ROM,CWM)
Ok guys thanks anyways.
Is there some other way to repartition my phone so that I can install ICS?
If u have the default 220 MB system partition then u don't need to repartition. If not, u have to get into recovery :what: and flash a tpt with tpt helper from Google play
Sent from my Supernatural Blade
Yes but when I try a TPT the phone refuses to boot into CWM so I cannot flash a ROM. Then I have to flash a TPT+ROM (MMHMP which has 128 mb system partion)
UPDATE: Tried installing CWM from fastboot as well... still cant go into recovery
UPDATE 2: Tried the windows flashing technique. Same thing.
Flash the Gen2 v10 TPT if you already are Gen2. You don't need recovery for that. This way you can install ICS but you still would need to boot into CWM for it.
Sent from my Blade using XDA app
I think there are no alternative recoveries for blade.
Are u facing this issue recently or is it there from first.??
I can't suggest anything except one, flash the stock recovery from CWM. Then check whether u are able to go to FTM mode by holding volume down and power. If yes, reflash CWM recovery from rom manager and check again.

Lol. Cwm and rom manager both are developed by Koush. So,not surprising.

Yes I can get to FTM mode on flashing stock recovery but not CWM
im not sure if amon ra is compatible with the ZTE Blade but i can assure you that if an alternative recovery was available for the blade it would be in rom manager since the nexus one has amon ra listed there.
@op
try the fastboot method for this to work you will need to fastboot and adb drivers they can be obtained by installing the android sdk
Steps:
1) Boot the phone into fastboot by holding power on + volume up while connected to the pc via the cable (leave the phone in this state for now)
2) download clockwork mod recovery image from the website http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
3) go to the android sdk folder which is called "platform-tools" and paste the downloaded recovery there
4) shift + right click to open a windows command terminal in the same folder as the pasted recovery
5) run this command fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-blade.img
this will install a recovery for you i had a problem similar to your and this was the solution that fixed my problem

I assume that flashing from linux makes no difference. I could successfully flash from linux but it would still not boot into CWM using vol- and power
should I try amon ?
i use linux to so if you already tried it will not work mate sorry for giving windows instructions but most people use windows
as for trying amon ra recovery i found one that works on the zte blade so far credits go to its respective developer not me mate http://android.modaco.com/topic/328806-recovery-ra-recovery-for-zte-blade-oledtft/ i never tried it but it says it works on the zte blade OLED & TFT versions
Also try
fastboot erase recovery
And then
fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img

Ok so I could use some help. I've successfully rooted & flashed recoveries/roms on my older android phones (Droid Charge & Galaxy Nexus), but I'm having some trouble with my LG G2.
I've followed the IOroot & have root on my 980 but I cannot, for the life of me, get TWRP installed on this phone. I've tried Flishify, I've tried Clockwork Mod Manager, I've tried downloading & using a terminal in manually install it....no luck.
Clockword Mod Manager said it flashed a CWM recovery, but I would get the default standard recovery (no good for flashing roms). So I tried the terminal & typed the code exactly...then I lost recovery entirely. Now when I try to boot to recovery I get an LG screen & a Secure Boot Verification Error - then I have to do the Power & Vol Up to reboot the phone. I then tried Flashify, same results.
I downloaded Root Browser & verified that all my files for TWRP appear in the SDCard folder, so I don't think there should've been any issues w/the terminal, but that's where the trouble started.
Does anybody know how to regain recovery or how to salvage a custom recovery on 24A?
Much appreciated.
Thanks
