Rom Manager

Since im not allowed to post this anywhere else here it is. I cant get rom manager to boot directly to the red recovery. Therefore I can no longer download roms and stuff thru rom manager . I see posts about deleting and renaming the update file in the clockwork folder on the sd card . Can anyone clarify this more ?

You can still download through rom manager, but you have to manually boot into recovery and browse for the zip. They are on the sdcard in clockworkmod/download.

In the cloclworkmod folder, delete "recovery-update.zip", copy your red CWM update.zip into this folder and rename it to "recovery-update.zip"

Is this in the root of the clockwork folder ? because i see a file called recovery in there . I put it in there and it didnt work

1) Get a working clockwork mod .ZIP file.
2) Put that file in two places:
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip​
ROM Manager --> Reboot to Recovery Mode should load /sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip
Phone Desktop --> Hold down power button --> Reboot to Recovery should load /sdcard/update.zip
If for whatever reason, you are not rebooting directly into Clockwork Mod Recovery (and booting into the stock Samsung recovery), just choose menu option: apply sdcard:update.zip. It will bring you into Clockwork Mod.
Note that if you are running a DL30 ROM, and recently flashed / updated Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM Manager, then something screwed up. For whatever reason, ROM Manager downgraded Clockwork Mod Recovery from v2.5.1.0 --> v2.5.0.4. That version will not play nicely with DL30 ROMs. You will need to find a CWMR that works with DL30, and manually place it in the two locations specified above.

[Q] Can´t get into Clockwork recovery menu

Hello all,
I'm a newbie on this Android matters, I've been using Android Donut just for a week
I want to upgrade from 1.6 to the latest gingerbread. I've been reading all about rooting, flashing, backups etc...
So far I rooted my device sucessfully using Androot. Installed Rom Manager and hit the Flash ClockworkMode Recovery, now it says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.0.2.7.
For my next step I want to do a full backup of my current stock rom before proceding with the installation of the new rom. The problem is, I can't get into the Clockwork recovery menu on startup, even if I choose startup on recovery on Rom Manager it takes me to the stock recovery and there is no backup option.
Can you help me?

On power up press the Home + Power key all in one go..............

I tried that and the screen stops at an image of a triangle with a phone next to it. Then I push again home + power and the screen of Android recovery appears, but with only 4 options, reboot, factory reset, delete cache and install zip from sd card.
When I go to Rom manager, Clockwork is installed.
I'm now reading about two files that may stick stock recovery, /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p, I think it is supposed to erase or rename, but using Root Explorer I can't see any of that two files.
I really want to use clockwork, backup stock rom and move on to the latest CM7.
Give me some advice
Thanks

AFAIK, rom manager flashes temporary clockwork mode recovery when you select this option from its menu. But isn't really flashed permanetly. Download latest clockworkmod recovery(I think there is a link on kalim's cyanogenmod rom thread) and flash it via adb with flash_image command.

Thanks, I will give it a try. I was trying to get it done without using adb or terminal modes, but if it's the only way, I'll try.
What about the tattoohack file, I've been reading about it and it must be "installed" or I may brick the phone.
Any update I'll post.

If you have errors, with command line is better to understand in which step the error occurs and find a solution.
As for the tattohack file I think that needed a specific kernel version to work properly. And there are 2 versions of that file. And if you have another kernel from these two, probably you will have problems. For this I suggested to first flash the international stock rom.

No success. I've unrooted the phone and did the cyanogen wiki tutorial with m7 exploit, su and flash_image.
I can't do the chown root.root su, it says chown not found or something like that. It also happens before to get stuck into a loop with rebootcommand appearing on shell when I do the exit after the root. Then I can't make the root stick. I do ctrl+c to kill the shell. I tried doing the rest of the proccess but on chown the command don't apply.
I need clockworkmod recovery in order to flash the latest CM7 right?

Maybe I can try to use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950759, it's an automated operation.
I didn't make a goldcard, but on this tut it says that it's a nice to have. I'll try to do it with this method.

cant get into clockwork recovery
i have the same issue i have clockwork flashed from rom manager and is says it is installed the latest 5.0.2.0 and i even flashed it via ADB flash recovery but after i flash recovery from ADB and from bootloader i go to recovery i can go in the clockwork recovery but once i reboot the phone turn it off and try to reboot in recovery with power+trackball on my nexus one i get the triangle with the exclamation ! and then the stock recovery options

I know about your problem cuz i had it also and i couldnt install using a pc cuz the usb port was cinda crushed.
The problem is that u used Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5 to root, am i correct??
If that the case then you just need to root via Universal Androot 1.6.1. That solved my problem. Then you just need to continue like you started with Rom manager.
I figured out that the root made by Universal Androot 1.6.2 Beta 5 was causing the fakeflash.

[Q] - How Can I get MIUI on this Bravo

I have miui on HTC inspire. So i know how to get it on that phone, but my battery is dead so i'm waiting for a new battery. In the mean time, I'm using the bravo.
So how do I get it on there?
Here's what i done so far:
1) update to sbf 2.2.1, rooted superclickone
2)downloaded moto recovery bootstrap, that got me into cwm.
so i try to download a miui from this forum lnk, and when i update from the sd card, i restart and it stays on the motorol logo forever. however i try to update the file , i get to infinite logo. I must be doing it wrong.
There was a forum about nandroid backup, and I put the file in the clockworkmod/backup but it will not see the files. It's not as easy as the HTC inspire. So if anyone can help and give me a step by step instruction I would appreciated from getting being root to miui.

Hi
You need to extract the zip file into clockworkmod/backup folder
at the end you should have a new folder in backup and that folder should have various .img files and an md5 file

thanks it works!
I can do a restore with CM7. but what about getting miui? I tried to install from zip, but after reboot, it will just hang on the motorola logo. i assume you don't do a restore like CM7, cause there is no checksum in the miui zip file.

Just incase anyone was having as much trouble as I am trying to install MIUI.
I first try Bravo recovery but it just didn't work, only for cm7 for some reason. So i search a little more and tried defy recovery and all is good.
Anyone I'm post what I did for future me, if I need to go back to bravo for any reason.
find sbf 2.2.1 just incase
download bravo driver and rsd lite.
Root with superoneclick
download defy 2ndint from market
follow BravoMotorola instructions on any new MIUI defy update (download at miuiandriod.com
1) Open ROM in Winzip
2) Delete all the folders and files except for "system"
3) Download this mediafire.com/?jfgb5g3t8k2lkrb
4) Extract files "motorola" and "META-INF" to a known location
5) Move extracted "META-INF" to / (root) of the ROM
6) Delete folder "motorola in /system/ect
7) Move extracted "motorola" to /system/ect
Then follow RDANNAR instructions
1) DO NOT LEAVE RECOVERY MENU UNTIL YOU ARE COMPLETELY DONE WITH INSTALL
2) download and place on sdcard
3) reboot into recovery menu
4) format data in recovery
5) wipe Dalvik in advanced menu of recovery
6) wipe Cache in recovery
7) choose install zip and click to install ROM
8) reboot and give it some time for first boot

im a noob a lil confused after reading a lot of thread, so what are the steps to get miui on to bravo?

[Q] Can't Remove install-recovery.sh on TMo M919 UVAMDL

I recently rooted my TMo M919 UVAMDL using CP-AUTO-FLASH via ODIN and then installed CWM recovery 6.0.3.2 from ROM Manager. Every time I boot into recovery from ROM Manager (for example to create a backup), when I exit recovery, I am asked if I would like to install stock recovery and I am told that if I do, the change cannot be reversed. Of course, I choose NO but this scares me so I wish to remove the install-recovery.sh file.
I have tried many times to remove install-recovery.sh from the Root/System/etc. folder using Root Explorer, Each time I try to change the file permissions to R/W, I am told that I am not permitted to do so for some system files.
Am I doing something wrong or missing something?
If I do accidentally revert to the stock recovery, is it really irreversible?
If I try to enter recovery using the Volume UP / Home / On-Off buttons, will I lose CWM recovery?
Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

Procedure to go back to MIUI from CM13

Hi. I'm using the 18/Redmi2Prime and I was thinking of reverting back to MIUI and I'm on CM13. I'm kind of confused with all the threads here because it's been a while since I was active here in the forums. Can't I just flash the MIUI ROM over CM13 using TWRP 2.8.7 with a clean install?
I wanted a rooted lollipop miui hence I am reluctant of choosing this. And I donno which ROM to choose either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Grab a copy of the stock recovery from here, and follow the instructions to install it onto your device. Basically, download the file, extract the .img file from it, and install the .img file using TWRP. Then boot to recovery.
Then, download a copy of the official MIUI ROM (beta, release or otherwise), from here, rename it as update.zip, copy paste it to your SD card (internal/external), and from the stock recovery, wipe all existing data (cache and user data - SD card can stay). Install the update.zip from the recovery from the options shown.
Done.
Additional notes -
1. If you are plan to go back to a custom ROM, then install a pre-lollipop based MIUI ROM, or backup your EFS, Modem, Boot partitions prior to wiping the existing recovery - this will save you a lot of trouble, and perhaps opening another thread.
2. It is preferable to download the MIUI ROM and rename it as update.zip before you restore to stock recovery, should anything go wrong down the lane. (That is, without a ROM installed, and the computer just not willing to recognize your device, you might end up in a small soup - you cannot access the files on the phone using the stock recovery easily.)
3. If anything goes wrong, check for instructions on how to install the MIUI ROM using fastboot.

Hey thanks for the quick reply. Will do the mentioned and will get back to you if need be. Thanks again!
But wait. It isn't prerooted right?
