[Q] Clockwork Mod Recovery Problem - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here is my Issue. I am wanting to install a Rom on my mt4g. I permrooted my phone and have s=OFF. I downloaded Rom Manager and installed the new cloclwork mod recovery which is 3.0.2.4 I believe. When I boot into recovery and select something anything from the menu, it just goes to a black screen with the clockwork mod logo (orange round arrow with the hat) and doesnt do anything. I am running the latest rom manager downloaded from the market. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Im wanting to install the virtous fusion rom.

Which button are you pressing to make your selection? If you are pressing the power button, that is the problem. Trackpad is the one you want to use.

okay i'm 99.9 percent sure on this one.
What recovery image are you using 2.x? 3.0.0.5? or 3.0.0.6?

Boot into recovery
pull the battery
put the battery in
hold the volume down rocker
press and hold the power button
navigate to recovery via the rocker buttons
select recovery via tapping the power button.
once you are in there, and you are using the older Recovery image, try wiping the phone and re-flashing the ROM.

[Q] Do I have to update my my touch 4g to flash a rom?

Because I'm running on a rooted 2.2.1 phone. I followed gfree's ultimate root and now I want to flash a mod , so do I have to update my software?
Anyone ?...........
You can just start flashing. You're already set. Just make sure you boot into recovery and make nandroid of your current rom. Might want to update recovery through rom manager before anything though.

I personally never liked CWM. Always loved Amon Ra's.
I prefer 4EXT because it has more options.

4ext all the way
And no you can't have 2 different recoveries you could have both apps installed and just flash cwm or 4 ext and then flash the other and switch that way

Cwm. Does what is for and is simple. Less prone to **** **** up. Ext4 is too complicated in my opinion.

4EXT is very useful in 1 thing - it shows the partition sizes and free space. SUPER-useful.
In all the other aspects I don't care what to use, as long as both support the faster TAR backup.
(damn, I haven't been to recovery in ages... since VU 2.37 came out).
4EXT. More functional (switching back and forth on file systems) automatically adds ROM name on backups, and is themeable.
and the paid app is awesome.

I'm using MIUI.us, and its Updater works well with 4ext, while with CMW works only with ROM Manager. I switched to 4ext then.
I tried also the "touch" version, it works for me though I don't use it frequently.
4ext...
I double 4ext.
Yes, it has many features, and it is not necessary to use all of them.
However, some of them are really nice like the native ability to check md5sums, verify if there is storage space etc.
And the touch version- good bye to the volume up/down and power buttons It is something completely different, and makes it fun to flash things.
Flashing cwm/4ext back and forth is not a problem- I accidentally flashed cwm a couple of times via rom manager without noticing, flashed back 4ext.
4ext for the "wipe 'em all" option.
4ext, yes cwmr is polished more, but 4ext though has some new exciting possibilities. Like the touch ability hopefully coming soon.

Funny, I use 4ext because I feel like it's more polished. I've never been a fan of cwm but when I left my g1 I had no other option until now.

backups
so if you had cwmr backups, can you restore them from 4ext, or do you have to flash back cwmr first?
edit: found the answer in another post. thanks.

Reflash the recovery or try a different version or custom recovery altogether. It probably didn't flash correctly.

WHEN YOU ARE USING THE RECOVERY SCREEN DO NOT USE THE POWER BUTTON TO MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS, USE THE TRACK PAD TO MAKE YOUR SELECTIONS

To fix all your recovery problems, try 4ext touch. It's much better. Nah but seriously, I was encouraged to try it and found it to be more dependable. I flash a couple roms a week & it holds up fine...

First off, this is the wrong section. But don't worry, everyone makes mistakes lol.
And now for the recovery. If you could get into your phone, like start it up and stuff. Install this app --> http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk
Then install the app and open it. The rest is straight forward. It will install the recovery for you. Hope it helps.
Well if u installed recovery from ROM manager then u already flashed a recovery. U can boot into recovery from ROM manager app.
The link that notorious is providing is to flash a different recovery in the same way.

Yes of course but it might get a little difficult for someone that has never done it.
I was just saying since the recovery was already installed there was nothing more that needed to be done.
I hate clockworkmod, would never go back to it but it works. Got a nook color with it cuz there is not much choice
