Error recovery flashing... - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I found that after flashing or repartitioning cwm using hd2 toolkit, i am unable to flash any recovery (tried touch recoveries, cwm 5.xxx downloaded using rom manager etc) via cwm zip flashing.
Always got error, bad headder and if i reboot the phone after that, it will also erase my current recovery too...( got this when i tried to flash touch recovery)
Do any one know whats the problem?? It comes not from a bad recovery.zip or recovery.img, as i had flazhed same before...
Though i dont know what cause it, i found a solution, i just changed the recovery.img comes with dft recovery flasher, which flash recovery to phone via usb flasher mode, with the recovery.img from touchrecovery flashable.zip, flashed it, got working touch recovery, and now i can flash any recovery.zip from phone itself via cwm.
But i never know why cant i able to flash some other recovery.zip from phone, if i use original recovery from hd2tool kit. Any body have got the ans? Pls let me know whatz the cause.

Are you using the newest version of HD2 toolkit? The newest one includes recovery 5.0.2.6
I have used the toolkit many many times, and never had one problem.

Yap. And it flashes it. Ie 5.0.2.6.
But rom manager got 5.0.2.7
And touch recovery rc 1.

Maybe you have some bad blocks in the recovery partition.

Help Needed !

I have hacked my phone and successfully rooted it with the help of AlpharevX and the guide to root by Nejc. But after that everything is fine except onething. While the phone is charging and I turn off the phone then the red led continues to light up even when i disconnect the cable. And after that the power button does not work until i reinsert the battery... Earlier before rooting and S-off this did not use to happen. Please help!

This file needs to be flashed in HBoot or through pc by flash commands?

Can be done in both ways.
When through hboot menu, the recovery.img along with android-info.txt are to be packed into a zip file named PC49IMG.ZIP and kept at the root of memory card.
When from fastboot flash the recovery.img is to be kept in folder where fastboot.exe lies and use it with android sdk. The command is already said.

I also suffer from an unusual problem. After installing clock work mod recovery and rooting ....I decided to factory reset my phone(God knows what made me do this). And When It rebooted then 2 things dont work the htc scenes and the setup app. It is not leading to any other problem ( I can live with it) but still I would like to remove this problem..... No matter what i do or how many times i restarted the phone these 2 things just dont work

How to Up-/Downgrade Clockworkmod Recovery?

Hey guys, I am new here and at first I have to say sorry for my bad english :S
However, here is my Problem:
I just made my Wildfire ( Froyo 2.2.1; HBOOT with .01 at end) S-OFF and rooted it manually with this *KLICK* Method.
The Clockworkmod Recovery, which is now on my phone, is Version 3.0.0.6...
And here is the Problem, I can not flash custom Roms based on 2.2.1, it only allow to flash Roms based on 2.3+ and I have no Idea how to update to a newer Version which allow it or to downgrade to an older Version which definitely allow it ...
Any Idea or Solution?

Get ROM manager
click Flash Recovery
wait
click Reboot into Recovery
If you want to use recovery 3.0 reboot the phone into HBOOT and select it from there.
If you want to use recovery 2.5 use rom manager.
or you can use fastboot to install
i`ve got the same problem and i still can't flash less than 2.3+

2nd post of this thread. Flash recovery from rom manager and reboot to recovery from the option in rom manager itself.
If u still face issues, then reboot to recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" and then select "choose zip from sdcard". Then choose the path sdcard/clockworkmod/download/ and enter the sub folders where you find 2.x recovery. Flash it first to get 2.x recovery on the fly. Then you can start the installation of 2.2 roms .

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
since I am facing the same problem.... where can I get the .img version of the .zip clockwork recovery??
thanx !
i figured out now !!! i was a little bit obsessed to flash openfire and some old roms but now i came back to cm7 ... and for gps to work i just reflashed radio
I cannot flash cwm recovery v4. with s-off unrevoke doesnot do so and installing it from hboot or recovery 2.5 does not work. any clues?
You have to rename the ZIP file (!) of cwm recovery 4 to "PC49IMG.zip" and than put it in the root of your sd card.
Start to HBOOT (S-OFF!) and click yes when it asks for update.
It should work this way...
this is will not work, signing lost by renameing. best way is get android sdk,when phone restart in fastboot mode, in pc go to cmd (cd to C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\tools) or where ever you android_sdk installed. extract recovery.img to same folder, insert command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (recovery.img can be a any name.img)

[Q] replace StockRom Recovery with CW recovery in stock rom ----- ( PLEASE REPLY )

is it possible to replace official recovery with clockwork recovery in stock rom?
i have a goldcard but it does not let me sappimg roms different from my stock rom.
i donot have a cw or amon recovery. i need the recovery to get the engineering spl.
since only my stockrom can be sappimg'ed, how can i get the clockwork recovery by replacing My stockrom's original recovery with the cw/amon recovery??
can it be done??
thanks.
-------reason...
i had 3.22 radio, but i flashed another stockrom (htc europe 3.05 rom) which was devided in rom and rom1 files. i flashed rom1, sys,userdata,recovery. rom file had hboot,boot and radio 6.35.
i was unable to flash rom file (hboot,boot and radio 6.35) because when radio starts updating, the screen starts changing colours to grey for, like, 40 minutes (does this normally happen??)
now i have old radio, incompatible hboot/boot file- to correct it, i need Recovery
---EDIT---
MY phones stuck in hboot mode, i have no other option except goldcard, but what about what i have written, does it work?
Download rom manager from the market, although depending on your rom it may not be available (android 2.1) if not download it off Google by typing, rom manager.apk. Once installed you can add the new clockwork recovery or the RA recovery via the application, they both work fine. Hope that's helped!

You can, but i suppose that Amon Ra is better than others.
I would also suggest same solution as Tenpin wrote. Rom manager and it allows to change recovery (I suggest Amon Ra as well).
If you do get your phone sorted, remember the stock Rom reflashes the stock recovery every time you shut your phone down.
Also, I believe if you extract the proper signed Rom.zip from the ruu and put it on your sdcard and press volume down when in fastboot, it should search for and flash the Rom.zip. At least then you will have a Rom to boot into to flash a new recovery.
My old hero messed up once too, I would seriously recommend flashing the s-off bootloader, makes recovering from errors such as this so much easier.

How did you flash it? maybe you just ran it off the sd? Are you on cLK or Magldr?
I am on CLK. I flash the zip in old recovery. Then new one shows up, but after reboot I have old again...

[Q] LG G2 Recovery Won't Update

I have an international LG G2. I'm trying to update it to CM 11, but my CWM recovery is version 6.0.4.0 and I need 6.0.4.4. I tried updating through ROM Manager, but every time I boot into CWM, it's still version 6.0.4.0. I tried to use ROM Installer, but came across an error. I tried using Flashify to update CWM by manually downloading the CWM recovery image online, but also came across an error. Would really like to fix this problem.
I'm also having this issue on the ATT model, with the "6.0.4.5 CWM-based recovery" that came with Freegee. Trying to get the legit CWM 6.0.4.4 to flash and I can't do it.

Zip file? I can only find the img files on CWM's official website. I tried to use Flashify to install that, but when trying to boot into recovery, the phone got stuck at bootup and I had to hard reset it and it went back to normal with the recovery still at 6.0.4.0 unfortunately.
Been using Phil's recovery lately it is built off of cwm . http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d800
