Flash roms from "rom manager"

Is it possible to flash roms directly from Rom Manager without having to start via recovery?
My question is because I cant start my phone in fastboot, recovery, bootloader etc. The screen turns all black if I try anything.
So in Rom Manager there is an option "Flash Rom from SD-card"...pretty much the same that you can see in recovery from clockworkmod. And if I click on it, then I can wipe data and cache also.
Is this a way to flash roms for me if I cant make it to recovery or start the phone in fastboot?

Yes you can flash roms directly from ROM Manager, that is how I do it atleast

nice, will test this! if it doesnt automaticly boots in recovery for the flashingprocess? Or does the rom manager creates a own recovery maybe?

It boots into Clockworkmod recovery I think

Yes it did! and cant boot into that!! Really this is a annoying thing for me!
And I cant run unrevoked again either because I cant boot into HBOOT, so cant install the android bootloader interface. AAAAHH!

Try installing a recovery from rom manager. If there is some problem with the original recovery, it might help. This works by placing the recovery image as 'update.zip' under your sdcard and rebooting. That will her flashed and HOPEFULLY you will have a working recovery.

I have tryied that! Or do I have to do something after that? With the update.zip? Run it via astro or something?

Ensure you have the update.zip directly under your sdcard and go for a normal reboot. It should flash it and take you to recovery mode.

Have that, and have tryed different versions on the recovery, still only black screen for me when trying this!

Have you tried pressing the power button when in the black screen? I was caught unawares when the recovery mod boot and stays in the cloclworkmod image and not go to the options. I have to press the power button to reach the recovery mod options. I have run out of ideas, sorry.

Thanks for the effort! Have tryed it like 100 times, but cant make it into recovery! Have to take the battery out and restart the phone in normal mode. Thats all I can do, and have tryed all different ways to make it into recovery.
(from rom manager, voldown+power), restart-->recovery, restart-->bootloader)
same results every time...maybe works if I get a new battery or new sdcard or something!

Is there a way to directly boot into clockworkmod ?

I was wondering if there is any way to directly boot legend into clockworkmod without going into ROM manager, like when you get stuck at boot ?

Say what? If I interprate correctly then you want to go to clockworkmod screen because you're stuck at boot, no? If yes then turn on your phone by holding volume down. From there choose recovery and at the big red warning sign press volume up + power button and choose update.zip. That will bring you to clockworkmod.

Well, actually NO
I am indeed swiping from my legend. But I did face the same issue couple of days back. And I figured it out myself about going to recovery and selecting update.zip back then and it worked.
Now I have another question, is clockworkmod recovery only stored in the sdcard (In the update.zip) ?
And loads from that file directly when we select the option to boot into clockworkmod from ROM manager ?
I was under the impression that it is flashed and stored in the device.

There's a simple way of finding this out...take out the sdcard (or replace it with another one) and see if it's booting into clockworkmod recovery

No it's not, it's called fake flash, the default recovery can't be replaced at this time.

[Recovery] Unofficial CWM Recovery 5.0.2.7[u8800pro&u8800]

I take no responsibility for any harm that comes to your phone as a result of applying this mod.
unofficial Clockwork Mod Recovery 5.0.2.7 for u8800pro and u8800 [upgrade to offical 2.3 GB]
Installation Instructions (upgrading - root explorer method):
Using any file explorer which is able to remount as writeable (such as root explorer), browse to the /cust_backup directory and remount it as writeable
Navigate to the image directory and backup up the current recovery by renaming it to something like recovery.bak, or _recovery.img
Rename the downloaded recovery to recovery.img and copy to the image directory.
Installation Instructions (new install):
Unplug any usb connection and turn the phone completely off
Whilst holding both the volume + and volume - keys hold the power button to turn the device on. Let go when you see a pink/purple screen.
Attach the usb cable to your computer and wait until a few usb mass storage devices are detected and mounted. Look for one that has just one directory called 'image' in it. Navigate into this directory and you'll see recovery.img etc.
(optional) Rename recovery.img to recovery_backup.img
copy the new recovery.img to image, unmount the mass storage device (safely remove in windows) and then pull the battery out to turn the phone off.
Hold volume + and power to boot to recovery.
Install any custom rom
change：
mod the kernel,Ums is worked now
use zte u880‘s charge png
can install zip from emmc and use emmc backup&restore
add ext4 fs support
about SDcard
if you can't mount SDcard in recovery,do this:
enter "advanced"--"Reboot Recovery"
then you could use the SDcard
ps:this is issue of offical GB,not recovery!

Did you finally find out if there is a bug in the recovery?
Once you put the recovery, would Rom Manager detect it?

Tested on u8800 and works very good. SD card sometimes can't mout properly, but i guess it's not an issue from CMW.
I've done a official GB backup, restored without a glitch, installed ICS demo without any problem too.

Can I upgrade my u8800 to official beta 2.3.5 and use this CWM to upgrade to cm7 or miui if I won't be able to use ics demo?
Sent from my u8800 using XDA App

Yes.
Sent from my ragelis

for me does not work. after several times trying to restore my miui backup (the onlyy one) it gave random errors some times, but after I was able to restore 2 times, I cant pass the miui boot.

Was it a backup you did with this CWM version? Or with the stockwell's CWM? The old backups don't work with this one I believe.

the backup its before this version of course. but even with this new CWM I cant flash new rom. I says error blablabla id u8800pro. I installed this because I wanted to try new ICSrom but now Im stuck to it lol

Have you flashed official GB before installing this recovery? I think you need to do that before this works in the original U8800.

yes I did ! the ICS works but not others.

Hmm, I tried to restore my backup from yesterday done with stockwells 5.0.2.6 recovery and my phone got ****ed up. I know I shouldn't have done this but I just had to try. xD Now I can't get past the Huawei logo, when I push the power the phone starts but just turns off after couple of seconds. I can get to bootloader (pink screen) but not to recovery. I hope no one else has tried this and I hope I get my phone working again.
Would anyone have any advice how to get my phone back up and running? Or should I just go bring it to warranty support?

have you tried to replace the recovery.img from this topic again? that happened to me too when I tried to go back with CWM v4 but then I replaced with this

Can't go back to stock rom

I've recently updated my phone to the unofficial CM 13 , and now that the official android 6.0 for my phone is released I wanted to update to it. The problem is that the official way of updating is holding both volume buttons and power button while phone is turned off, but that takes me to the recovery of the installed CM13. I tried flashing the stock recovery, and the furthest i got was that the installation began , but got stuck at 0 %.
Note that when I tried installing CM13 , there was a problem with the package identifying my device, so i searched and found out that i can skip the device check, once i did that i could install CM13, but when i go to about phone in settings , i find that device type is unkown.

How can I flash the stock rom with CWM , because I believe it's only flashable with the stock recovery , and I tried flashing it with the stock recovery but it didn't work .

You dont need the stock recovery. Just boot into CWM or TWRP and wipe cache & davlik cache.
Then power off the phone. When its off hold the power button and the + and - buttons.
When the Huawei Ascend logo shows up let go of the power button and keep holding the + and - buttons until the installation screen shows up.
Take off the case off the phone if you have any.

Just to add that you should have an apdate.app file in folder called dload on external SD card for you to be able to flash it back to stock if you have done that already not sure ??

You might as well update to CM14.1 if you can't go back to EMUI lol
Or the version you're trying to flash is not compatible with your device?
