Can only install non-ics ROMs - Kindle Fire General

I have a rooted kindle fire currently running CM7. I've successfully loaded other honeycomb ROMs without any issues have yet to install a ics ROM and boot up completely.
All ics ROMs I've tried will not boot up, it just continues to reboot within the CWM Recovery fff.
I'm able to backup/restore the CM7 and have seen no errors during installations.

Install TWRP and try again. CWM is known to have install problems on some devices.

If you are trying to install any of the new 3.0 kernel ics roms you need to use twrp and not cwm. they won't flash properly with cwm it is a known issue.

CW Rom Manager can't boot into recovery - freeze at HTC splash screen

Searched, but couldn't find an answer to this. I rooted and installed ROM Manager so I can do a nandroid backup before installing a custom ROM. However, when I press back up in ROM Manager, it restarts and hangs/freezes on the HTC MyTouch 4g splash screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you flashed CWM recovery after installing Rom Manager. You must flash the recovery before you can backup/restore or install roms. I almost did that myself but luckily i read the thread concerning it again and flashed REcovery before trying to back up rom.
Yeah, I did that first and the problem remains. I just uninstalled and reinstalled ROM Manager and am about to try "backup current rom" again (unless I should reboot into recovery and back up from clockwork recovery?).
FWIW; Current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
anyone?
Did you ever find a solution to this problem? I just started getting exactly the same. Cant reboot manually into clockwork recovery or from Rom manager :/
If you have flashed a recovery beyond that supported by ROM manager, you will not be able to perform recovery functions from the app (i.e. backup). CW3 is required for CM7 ROMs, but will not be supported by ROM manager until the CM7 RC drops. You can still manually boot to recovery (I always Vol up when powering then select Recovery) and if you have CM7 nightly installed, it has a "reboot to recovery" option in the reboot menu.
You need CWM3 to use CM7.

Sometimes it is necessary to flash clockwork recovery more than once before it will actually stick. Also, occasionally it will freeze on the splashscreen after a backup, but a battery pull and turning out the phone should be fine.

Here's what's going on:
The Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market only supports up to CyanogenMod 6.x. For CM7, you need to install Clockworkmod Recovery 3.x, but that version isn't available on the Market yet.
What this means is that you need to find the image file for a CWR 3.x on these forums and manually install it through either a terminal emulator or fastboot. The post below explains how to do it:

If you flash CM7 using CWR 2.x, your phone won't boot. There's just no way around it.

Careful with the terminology there. ROM Manager, the app you download from the Market, is a GUI front-end to the CWM recovery image, but you can download and install CWM without using ROM Manager at all. Just because you have ROM Manager installed doesn't mean that CWM recovery is also successfully installed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't imply that CW ROM Manager and CW Recovery are the same thing though...

You said "the Clockworkmod Recovery that you can download from the Market", and that kinda does. No biggie though.
Just an update for my problem, it turned out that clockwork recovery had corrupted for whatever reason and couldn't be reinstalled from rom manager. As I wanted to test Cm7 anyways I just ended up flashing clockwork recovery 3 manually through fastboot and its all gravy again

How to flash clockwork recovery from fastboot or fron clockwork recovery 2.51?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Thanks, everyone. What happened with mine, I have no idea, but I randomly opened rom manager and was greeted with an update to the recovery. So I downloaded it and voila - I can now boot into recovery and do backups, etc...

[Q] cm7 question

i just installed cm7 (Mills00013's cdma version) and was wondering if i go to the clockwork mod recovery app that was installed with it, would flashing clockworkmod recovery mess up my phone, or would it work because i heard that cm7 for xplay can use cmw recovery?
thanks in advance

Old thread, but Clockwork red is normally needed to get CM7 or MIUI started, then Clockwork Blue is installed, and you re-install the ZIP for CM7/MIUI full functional. Clockwork just replaces the stock recovery files.
You can't flash clockworkmod recovery. When you open rom manager, you'll notice that there is no available recoveries for our phones. In addition to that, there is no way for the system to flash a recovery if it wanted to because there is no actual recovery partition to overwrite for our devices. The recoveries we are blessed with using now use a kernel modification to allow recovery to boot from the boot partition, which cannot be touched except with fastboot.

how to get CWM for Ideapad k1

I've seen some roms posting about cwm but I don't have it. I am rooted running khanning's AOSP rom but i wan to flash the cm10 port. When I go into rom manager it recognizes my ideapad as a Transformer so I can't flash clockworkmod recovery there. Is there another place to download it?
If you're using khanning's AOSP rooted rom you already have cwm recovery.
Read 1st post on that thread and he has explained how to get to cwm recovery.
Don't install any other cwm recovery unless you know and are sure about what you're doing. You might brick your device.

I think you need to nvflash to install cwm recovery image first, then use khanning's AOSP CMW Rom.
the link posted by khanning for K1_CWM_120109_Rooted_nvflash_R2.zip is no longer working. does anyone have a refresh link?

[Q] Installing CWM and Cyanogen MOD on Nook Color

I have a friend who has recently gottem a few scratch and dent Nook Colors, and I'm trying to help him install CWM and Cyanogen on them. I have CWM and Cyanogen 10.2, but I've been updating fro older versions, and haven't installed over stock in a while, so I'm trying to make sure I'm up to data eon getting the latest CWM and Cyangen ROMs installed.
So the situation is, if I have a Nook Color that is stock, and has already been rooted, can I install the CWM ROM Manager APK, use that to install the latest CWM image to EMMC, and then boot to CWM recovery and install whatvery ROM I choose, say Cyanogen 10.2? Will different versions of the Stock frimware make a difference?
This is the process I think will work, but its been a while.
Thanks

Follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941858to go from stock (or rooted stock) to CM 10.1 with CWM installed on emmc, along with the ROM ... I chose the latest 10.1 RC from just a few days ago. Process went flawlessly.
Thanks remmian, but that link appears to be for installing to an SD Card, rather than EMMC. I'm going to try and see what I can figure out.
Thanks

[Q] Defect CM10.1, Teamwin Recovery defect, fix & install KitKat

Hello,
I currently have installed CM 10.1-20130709-NIGHTLY-mb526 (Android 4.2.2, 2.6.32.9-AeroKernel), but I had a problem yesterday (phone would not boot).
So I did a Cache/Dalvik wipe, and after reboot it optimized all the apps but looped at "opening apps".
So today I decided to reinstall the above mentioned rom. But after installation it turned out to be defect somehow (e.g. the unlock screen will never appear, altough it is activated; in the swipe down menu the right-above button won't appear/won't work; browser won't turn on; home button does not work etc.).
So I decided to give KitKat a try. I visited this page by Quarx and I would begin with the Recovery Update. I put the update recovery zip on the sd card and install it via TeamWinRecovery.
After reboot, the TeamWinRecovery won't turn on and it simpy reboots. So now I am stuck. How do I install/recover TeamWinRecovery (or any necessary Recovery to install KitKat?).
After the installation I can simply install the latest KitKat rom, right? Or is there anything else necessary (kernel update etc.?). If I don't like KitKat, can I simply flash the latest CM10.2 rom?
Thank you very much!
Edit: The first rom i woul like to try is cm-11-20140117-NIGTHLY-mb526 (this is the KitKat, right?) and if this is not stable enough for me I would install cm-10.2-20131020-NIGHTLY-mb526 (Jelly Bean, right?). The reason I want to change is that I do not think the CM10.1 I have installed is neither stable nor perfomant.
Edit2: I tried the GooManager but it did not work! After reboot into Recovery screen stays black and reboots again.

Hello, i had a similar problem and i finally flashed a new sbf then CM10.1 and after that CM10.2 and it worked. As for recovery the only way that worked for me is with cwm through 2init.apk. CM11 seems unstable atm...

SBF is the only option. The reason why CM10.1 didn't work as intended is that you must have used full gapps.

Hi,
I think I used the minimal Gapps linked in the thread! And no, sbf is not an option right now as I do not have acces to a Windows based PC where I have rights to install software!
Any other solution how I can restore/install TeamWinRecovery? Should I try 2ndinit?
Thanks anyway and regards kernel
There is a method through ADB explained by @YetAnotherForumUser in CM11 thread by Quarx. This if you can enter in boot menu.

adb is neiher an opion, I currently have no acces to a computer with root-acces!
I read somewhere that 2ndinit won't work wih a custom rom installed, ist this correct?

Yes is correct. You must start from sbf when you have access to a computer.
