I had MIUI. I updated recovery to 5.0.1.0, then I wanted to restore previous backup. when clicking restore from ROM Manager, I was taken to the bootloader and it seemed that the device is unable to launch recovery.
then I launched the device in regular mode, went to ROM manager, flashed the newest recovery again, then I hit "Boot into recovery", and I was taken to recovery, but on any item selection, I get the ROM manager hat icon and nothing happens.
then I went to ROM Manager, moved to "Restore", recovery seemed to start normally but was suspiciously fast. then the device restarted and hanged on the famous Nexus One 'X' screen.
When boot into recovery, again, when I select any item I get the hat logo and nothing happens.
So now, regular boot hangs, and recovery won't perform any action.
Anyone experiencing the same?
Thanks
p.s. I was trying to restore into regular CM7
The problem is CWM 5.0 is saving the file's name a little differently.
You might have to revert to what ever recovery you use to nandroid backup
those files.
I flashed back to recovery-clockworkmod-3.0.0.5 but it acts the same.
When you get to the hat screen, try hitting your power button. From there only scroll and click using your trackball.

hey guys so today I finally rooted my HTC Legend, installed rom manager, made my backup using clockwork i believe? well i installed clock work, then i made a backup of my rom, now I tried to install CyanogenMod from rommanager and also installed google apps...
The problem is now..
When i turn the phone on it keeps looping on the blue logo with the elctricity going around...cant turn it off cant do anything, have to manually take the battery out and start it up again..
Im not sure how to get my original rom back on, but i tried to get into the recovery menu atleast..I can get to the fastboot, but when i go into bootloader, then click recovery it does everything normally, it shows the red triangle, I run recovery-windows.bat ( provides in Paul's tutorial at modaco ) and it says device not found..
EDIT: before I installed cyanogen, i disabled debugging mode for something, and I dont think i turned it back on :S I think it may have something to do with me not getting into recovery...what do i do! :'(
Put the Clockwork Mod Fake flash update.zip from the Development Forum on your SDCard and then go again in Recovery, until you see the red triangle. Then hit Volume up + Power and select flash update.zip. You should boot in Clockwork Mod Recovery then.
I dont even think you need to put fake flash on your card. If you choose to install clockwork recovery through rom manager its there. The reason your in a loop is that you didnt clear enough before installing CM 6. Enter clockwork recovery by volume up and power, it can take some trys. There factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Reinstall CM 6 + google apps and reboot. You should be good to go!

OMG! Thank you so much! I booted into clockwork, and am currently "restoring" to my default one when i first rooted..hopefully it works!
EDIT: YESS IT WORKS! I FCKING LOVE U!
I just had some fun upgrading my phone to CM7 from CM6. This is my tale of woe. Of course any confirmation of exactly where I went wrong would be much appreciated.
My Nexus One is
FRG83D
CM 6.1.1-N1
ROM manager 2.5.0.9
security on
bootloader locked
Also, my n1's power button is dead so I use the battery pop with power/usb connected method to boot. During the last couple of all nighters, I found out that a Hong Kong company is selling said part on ebay and will send international, so will finally invest I think.
To begin:
I downloaded the update and using rom manager, did a backup and install - all OK. Had a quick look at CM7 and restored CM6.
Then:
Backed up everything again with TI and moved both ROM manager and TI backup to my laptop just in case.
Went back to ROM manager and did the upgrade. This time I didn't select backup (as I already had one) and - here's where I probably went wrong - didn't select clear cache. Perhaps a, "I wonder what this does" moment.
My phone wouldn't reboot past the coloured cross. Using the battery pop method and some help from xda and elsewhere, I found out the vol-down button would get me HBOOT recovery screen and the track ball would get me into fastboot recovery screen. Of course I couldn't do anything here as the power button doesn't work.
I could connect the usb and I'd installed the sdk and fastboot (I tried this on Linux but had too many hassles with the usb driver. Something for next time.) On windows, I remembered to delete the windows usb driver and re-install to one in the sdk directory.
adb devices returned nothing but fastboot devices worked. From fastboot recovery with usb, I tried to fastboot flash recovery, boot, and system using my ROM backup files. I could not - while nobody has stated this explicitly, my reading is that it is probably because my phone is locked (sorry, the error message alludes me at the moment). Could not unlock my phone with fastboot oem unlock to find out as I don't have a power button (welcome to yosarian's world).
I could delete cache, which I did as I thought that my failure to select this option in rom manager install was the cause of the problem.
I rebooted and exalted as the CM7 splash screen appeared...but the boot stopped there.
I found I could now use adb devices while it looped here, but the /scard wasn't mounted and would not using mount /sdcard. I got this error; mount: can't read /etc/fstab: No such file or directory
I this found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984688&page=4
I followed jason's instructions and mounted the sdcard OK. I could now see the sdcard in XP Explorer. However, I noted that any .img files I copied to the sdcard using XP Explorer did not show up in an adb shell ls of the sdcard. Conversely, my copies of the system and recovery images using cat /dev/mtd/mtd1 > /sdcard/mtd1.img and cat /dev/mtd/mtd2 > /sdcard/mtd2.img weren't visible in XP Explorer.
I pushed the recovery image from my original rom manager backup. flash_image recovery failed with: header is the same, not flashing recovery. I pushed a copy of recovery-clockwork-2.5 (I remember reading something about 3.0 causing problems). This time it flashed OK.
adb reboot recovery got me back to the recovery screen and I restored CM6. I went to bed.
Will try the upgrade again soon.
It's the claockwork mod. I don't use 3.+ at all anymore. Doubt I'll be flashing any Roms for awhile as I too have a broken power button and don't want to haveto go through all that you went through just to get back to where I was!
Just out of curiousity. How are you flashing w/o using the power button? In recovery you have to use it. No?
you can use the trackball once in clockworkmod recovery. btw my phone froze at the splash screen a few days after i re-installed cm7.0.2.1. the keyboard had gone wonky and i did a rom manager reboot. this time i just did "adb reboot recovery" and restored my full backup. all ok. not sure what the reboot problem is. i'm using rom manager 4.2.0.0 and clockworkmod 2.5.1.0.
i like cm7, power button problems or not.

try amon ra recovery. Cm 7 requires cwm 3 and up which is causing a lot of problem right now. Good luck.

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.

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

Hey guys i did everything correctly, i backed up my apps using titanium backup, and flashed clockworkmod recovery, and then downloaded SlashDW Cyanogenmod 7.1.0 unofficial rom, and it asked me if i wanted to boot into recovery, so i clicked yes, after wiping everything, but it just shows a yellow triangle with a exclamation mark in it, and then my phone at the side.
What am i meant to do? Please help.EDIT: Posted in general section.
Somehow you still have the stock recovery.. flash again?
Hey thanks for the quick reply. Yes when i press home + power, i can go into clockwork mod recovery, but i'm new to this so i want to do it through rom manager. Everytime, i try to do it, it comes up with the same thing, the yellow triangle with exlamation mark.
I'll flash recovery again, to see what happens. Thanks for your help again.

So home + power gets you in cwm recovery? Then use that.
But i'm downloading a rom through rom manager, but that just dosen't work. & i accidently deleted the CW recovery image, so i had to install the clockwork rom manager again to get the folders on the sd card back. Oh and i re-installed everything so i'll give it a try again and see what happens.
It won't even let me press home + Pwr to go into CW recovery anymore now as well, shows yellow triangle, what shall i do?
Just reflash the recovery image, make sure superuser gives permissions to clockwork, then try, its a hassle but it happened to me too

Thanks, i re-flashed and then tried installing the recovery image, and it keeps coming up with a error like this, when it starts doing it:
assert failed: write_raw_image("
/tmp/boot.img" , "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/clockworkmod/
download/romshare.deployfu.com.com
Basically it's a status 7 error. (that's what it says)
Recently having a problem using Rom Manager. Have downloaded clockwork recovery.
When using "Reboot into Recovery" or "Backup Current ROM" from ROM Manager it takes me to the green recovery and stops.
If I then go to "Advanced" followed by "Reboot Recovery" I then get the red ClockworkMod Recovery.
If I use the power button (Bionix 1.3.1) and chose "Recovery" it then goes to the proper "Red" recovery.
I have been using ROM Manager for approximately a year to do backups and restores, but not it seems not to be "associated or connected" with the clockworkmod recovery.
Any advice? I recently wiped cache and dalvik. Was this a mistake?
I have uninstalled and re-installed ROM Manager but had the same results afterwards.
Thanks,
rblancrt
No ideas?
No one else had this problem before?
If I select backup current rom from ROM Manger it goes to the green recovery. If I then reboot recovery it goes to the red recovery.
Worked fine for probably a year.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
ROM Manager still not working properly
Thought I would try again.
When I select "Backup current ROM" from ROM Manager my phone goes to the green recovery where I have to scroll through and select backup.
Part of the purpose of ROM manager is that it is a front-end application for CWM, but it is not working as such.
Anyone know anything more about the details of how ROM manager works? I have uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but it doesn't change anything.
Have been using it for almost a year with no problems until recently.
Thanks for any info.
And after the backup is complete it goes back to the green recovery and I have to select reboot system. ROM Manager used to and should do these things automatically.
Problem solved?
Well, I guess I will never know what happened but through a "magical" combination of updates and reboots, and who knows, it began working properly again today.
Anyone has a problem with the free version?
I couldn't install it after ODIN.

You can pull a copy of it from my signature. It is an update.zip and in my dropbox so it will always be there when you need it.
up...........................
Thanks, Woodrube. Actually, I went to get the newest Rom Manager v4.8.3 from 4shared.com. Everything is OK now.
