hello all, i recently installed clockwork3.0 to try out the cm7 rom and did so. afer that i wanted to go back to cm6 but decided to try out a custom baked modaco in between. I went no problems to the modaco vision rom and then tried to go back to the cm6 and thats where i ran into the problem. It seems as if though all i can flash and boot now is the modaco vision and desire roms. i try enomther and cm and after the flash and reboot im always stuck at the HTC boot screen which i know shouldnt be there and cant format boot in cwork3.0 without failure error. Even a nandroid back to cm6 wont work. Im assuming this has something to do with the modaco rom writing some apps to /system during install. If anyone can point out my error or explain why this could happen it would be greatly appreciated. Thanke, veritasaequita
You need to flash back to the old ClockworkMod Recovery using fastboot? You have done that haven't you? CWM Recovery 3 is only for 2.3 roms atm afaik.
Cool, thanks for the input bro. Yes I sure have. I did see in the dev forum a thread titled install cw3.0 easily from phone. Is it possible to go back to the old cw by way of using the phone also? Once again thanks for your help

oh yeah, indeed you have hit upon something. Try installing ROM manager via the Market,... then use that to re-install the old recovery.
But if that fails,... then yes, you SHOULD be able to use a Terminal Emulator to flash without using fastboot commands.
hello everyone,
few days ago i pruchased a new kingston 16g card, and follow the resource bible tried to restore my cell back to stock. i format the sdcard, insert to the slot, and then follow the steps "stock nandroid retore" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845756
everything worked fine, i am sure it was completed, but at the very last step to reboot my phone, it stuck at "mytouch 4g" boot screen, cant reboot into the system, bricked i think? so i tried another thread by using PD15IMG, finally i can back to normal and a clean stock status.
(my phone is s-off, permrooted, oc1.5g)now my question is, why can't i success the nandroid restore? did i do anything wrong or do i need some more roms/files/images on my new sdcard? after this i even tried to backup my own nandroid backups and then run restore via rom manager, but i still got the same results, can't completed nandroid restore, always stuck at mytouch 4g boot screen
sorry for my really bad English, hope u guys can understand me... i just need an answer/method/guide that i can try some more new roms/oc kernels in the future without worry bricking my phone. dont really wnat to go over and over again the PD15IMG, i got scared though...
Thank you for ur help!
You probably flashed recovery version 3.0.0.5 in which you cannot restore your stock ROM with. If you don't have another ROM, you should install a gingerbread ROM such as CM7 and then flash the 3.0.0.6 recovery available in the development thread. Don't worry, your phone is not bricked. If you can turn it on and get into recovery or hboot, it can always be fixed.
I think your problem is that you had the wrong recovery. Flash Drew's 3.0.0.6 zip file to get that recovery and then pick 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries in Rom Manager. Also do your nandroids and restore in Recovery. I never go thru rom manager, it just works better that way for me.
really thank you both for the quick response
i just followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681 ,looks like i completed all the steps, but when i reboot and open rom manger, it still shows current/latest recovery:clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, so idk whether i did it right or not?
anyways, later on i might try either my won nandroid backup/recovery or the stockclean recovery again, then we will know the results...
i really appreciate for ur help!
Yes, when you open up all recoveries in Rom Manager it will still show as 3.0.0.5. If you followed the steps correctly when you flash that one and open up recovery, it will actually be 3.0.0.6 which will show at the top. This version allows you to switch between froyo (2.x) and gingerbread (3.x) based ROMs.

In clckworkmod it will always show 3.0.0.5. Flash the 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries. Then when you go in recovery it will read 3.0.0.6 sounds confusing but its not once you got it. Happy flashing!
one more question
since my software information shows 2.2.1 version, am i on froyo or gingerbread? sry for the stupid question...just cuz i wanna flash an OC kernel but don't know which one should i pick? stock kernel or CM7-Gingerbread kernel? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876848
i remember i flashed this "Kernel 2.6.32.21grankin010OC0v0.05" yesterday, and it frozen my phone after reboot
thank you again

SMART! read alot, the community is here to help.
I not have the required 10 post to post it in the dev. forum so i have to post it here. I just tryin to Flash Revolution 5.1.11 and now my DHD is fuc*** up!. it Freezes on the HTC splash screen right at the beginning of the boot sequence. I try a Full wipe and install 5.1.10 without succses it still hang on boot.I really think i bricked my phone iam about to put it in the trash but maybe someone can help me
Your phone is still far from bricked
As long as you can boot into recovery and/or bootloader everything is fine.
First: Check the md5 of your ROMs. If they aren't correct redownload & reflash after a full wipe.
If it still doesn't work, try restoring a nandroid backup (if you have one) or try another ROM.
And if none of the above helped, just flash a RUU and everything should be fine.
thanks for your replay... iam a step further, now it hangs on the "htc quietly brillant screen" i have no idea what is wrong but really want to try 5.1.11 i try another rom now
ok tried everything and it seems i cant get 5.1.11 to work on my DHD device.
i just installed newest coredroid and it works fine without problem right
after that i do a fullwipe again and ext4 format and try to flash 5.1.11 again but without sucsess so i stick with coredroid for the moment.
maybe i could get 5.1.12 to work again. i hope

Flash my ROM + http://tinyurl.com/6ysbqwm right after flashing ROM.
Got the same issue. Just boot into recovery and restore youre previous backup.
To mike1986: Is is necessary to remove Setcpu and let it run on 1ghz before flashing 5.1.11?
I was trying to install a new kernel so I could overclock, and I could not get it into recovery mode. I tried the normal, turn off+hold volume down key+turn on, method. I also used the boot into recovery mode option from CWM (Acer Recovery)
I thought it may have something to do with my other software issues causing issue, so I did a master reset. It got everything back to normal, reloaded my info and backed up info, and installed rootcheck (which confirmed root and busybox) and superuser, and CWM, and have the kernel on my sd card. I tried booting into recovery mode again and it wont work
The error I get is the little tranlucent android dude with the gears rolling and then suddenly the gears stop and I get the warning sign, yellow triangle with exclamation mark.
Anyone know why this may be?

Which kernal are you trying to install? Are you installing via cwm? What version are you running? Are you holding vol-key until after the Acer logo shows up and then keeping the vol rocker held until you see "booting recovery..."?
Have you successfully booted into recovery in the past?
thanks for the response. It seems the recovery image was corrupted or unknown according to cwm. i had to install the cwm one and it works just fine.
Great

Glad you got it working
Installing Acer recovery installer does not install cwm. You have to select cwm from the list and click install recovery. Sounds like you figured it out, though.

A500 not switching to recovery
I also have a new A500 which already had 3.2 stock installed and it has never allowed me to go into recovery mode. I can use iconiaroot and get to a certain point with that but to install a custom rom, I haven't been able to. I want to so any ideas? I did however get to install the Acer_A501_0.017.01_PA_ATT which is about as much progress as I have got. My thought was to downgrade first then install a custom rom like Taboonay but I can't get into recovery. Please help.

Why are you trying to get into recovery? What is it you are actually trying to do? If you are stock, then getting into recovery has little value, so it would help if we know what you're actually trying to do?

Why recovery
I am trying to install Taboonay. The way I see it from peoples post is that with a stock 3.2 the only way to install Taboonay is to be able to go into recovery. Do you have a better solution? Or anyone? There is alot of information out there. It's hard to sort through it sometime.

I now know that recovery is locked by the system and one has to change the update.zip file. Right?

In order to flash a custom rom, you need to flash a custom recovery (in this case cwm) flashing custom roms with the stock Acer recovery isn't possible without out the update.zip being signed by acer.

Read through these forms and you'll get the information you need. But, before you can install a custom ROM you need to root(#) your device first. Once you get root then you have to install CWM which is a custom recovery. The Stock Recovery that comes installed will ONLY install updates signed by ACER therefore it is worthless. That's why you need something like CWM.
Hope this helps,

Hi guys,
Okay title might be a little exaggerated haha but...
Recently broke my hand and one handed computing really sucks. So i grabbed my transformer from the closet that I hadn't used in months. It was acting pretty weird, very slow, and just unpleasant to use. I had previously had it rooted and had a kernal and rom on it, but wanted to revert to stock and try ICS. I really forgot how to do everything so I tried to use this guide:
http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/
Downloaded both files. and tried to get into clockwork but kept getting a big ! mark. Gooogled around and found that I could download recovery instller from the market. That got me to be able to get into recovery... I did notive that I couldn't get out of recovery and had to do cold boots to get past it. Still tried it though. When I finally got to uploading those files I still couldn't get ouit of recovery and cold booting just freezes.
Can someone PLEASE help me. I really want to be able to use the comptuter without suffering.
I just want to get it working and hopefully get to ICS.
Would not might using a custom rom if there is a stable ICS release u guys recommend.
If someone can step by step me i would be extremely grateful.
Thanks alot.

How did yo install cwm recovery? You mentioned RecoveryInstaller, I hope you didn't use Acer Recovery Installer.
The RecoveryInstaller for the TF is not available on the market. you have a link to the one you use?
or did yo use ROM Manager to install CWM, what version of CWM do you have, ect.
yea i used rom manager sorry
and i think it was 5.5.0.4 cwm
the exact thing happened to me, do you know if your tf is compatible with nvflash?
