Rom installs from .zip fail, work through adb sideload - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Forgive me for this question that's likely been answered before.
I am unable to use any tool to download and flash an updated CM10.1 (cmupdater, cyandelta, rom manager, goo manager). The only thing that is working for me right now is doing an adb sideload from whichever custom recovery I currently have installed (I've used both TWRP and CWM). Install from .zip fails every time. Does anybody know why it's doing this to me? I end up with a soft brick every time I try and I have to go in and do an adb sideload install to get things running again.

Hm, I can't say for sure what the problem is. But, some of those apps are only compatible with certain recoveries. Goo Manager requires the OpenRecovery Script (used in TWRP). ROM Manager and CMUpdater work on CWM Recovery, but I am not sure on TWRP.
Try opening Goo Manager, clicking the overflow menu button, clicking "Install OpenRecovery Script," allowing it to flash the latest TWRP, and then using Goo Manager to auto-flash a ROM.

Rom Manager wont boot into Clockworkmod to Flash Roms

I've been trying to help a friend flash ROM's to his X. We've installed the paid Bootstrap and Rom Manager. We then utilized the bootstrap utility, and flashed clockworkmod recovery. We then go to the Download rom section of Rom Manager and choose FlyX, it downloads, we then check backup current rom, and wipe data, continue. The phone attempts to boot into clockworkmod but wont. It does the update package part, fails, and then reboots normally. I should also note that when I attempt to boot into clockworkmod recovery via bootstrap it is successful. Could I find the downloaded Rom via the menu in clockworkmod and install it that way? Is there a step in installing Clockworkmod that I'm missing? I've been checking the forums but all I can find for solutions is people saying to install bootstrap again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both programs twice and nothing has changed. Thanks so much in advance for the help.
open rom manager and click on flash clockworkmod recovery.
everything you download with rom manager goes into the /clockworkmod/download folder on your mem card.
Tried that.didn't work.

You need to open up Bootstrap and select the top option... then you can proceed to Rom Manager.......Rom Manager cannot flash CW onto the DroidX that why we need Koush's Droidx Bootstrapper. Give that a try also Note i hope that you have booted into CW and made a Nandroid backup of your friends current phone state.. If that still doesnt work for you.. download the ROM off a forum and do it manually.

YOu need to download Koush bootstrap http://koush.tandtgaming.com//motorola/droidx/DroidXBootstrap.apk
So after I gain root, I open Bootstrap? I then hit the "Bootstrap Recovery" button? Then I open Rom Manager and click "flash the latest ClockworkMod Recovery", which I beleive is 2.5.0.7? Do I hit the "Reboot Recovery" button in Bootstrap after I flash the latest CW recovery?
that will get you into clockwork mod yes.
This helped, thanks everyone
Having the same problem. Im trying this hopefully I can get clockwork recovery to work

P.S. I have wiped several times and i am running .596

[Solved]Can't boot CWM 2.5.x through ROM Manager - keeps going to CWM 3.2

Hi
I am currently running the latest CM 7 nightly build. However, I have issues with GPS which doesn't find any satellites.
In order to re-flash the radio (which I have tried previously), I need to use ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.x. Currently I have 3.2.0.0.
I have previously used ROM Manager to do this, but now when I install 2.5.0.7 through ROM manager and select Reboot to recovery it simply reboots into 3.2.0.0.
I have tried reinstalling ROM Manager from Android Market after complete uninstall. But the same things keeps happening.
Any suggestions?
BR, Martin / mhca
Is a small "bump" allowed...?
I haven't found a solution yet. I have even played around with different ROMs without success. Is it a bug in ROM Manager?
Do I have to first upgrade CWM to 5.0.0.2 and then afterwards try to use ROM Manager to hopefully reboot into CWM 2.5.0.7 ?
Flash this ZIP in your existing CWM3/4/5 setup. Then you can get temporary 2.5.0.7 without touching the ROM Manager app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
(It's the same temp 2.5.0.7 which ROM Manager downloads.)
Thanks a ton!
I just realised that this was even written with small text in The Complete Wildfire index, right next to the links to the radio. But somehow I missed that.
Really glad that you gave me a fail-safe method which doesn't require Rom Manager.
Radio didn't flash with CWM - used Android Flasher
Although I got a working CWM 2.5.0.7 with the above-mentioned method, I couldn't properly flash the radio.
I got error message "no space left on device", must likely due to custom partition sizes.
I found out that I could use the Windows app Android Flasher to flash the radio. And now my GPS works

[help]Completely Lost trying to get into Recovery.

I know there are many of these threads but I can not find a answer to my problems. I am on Nexus Beam V2.1.1. ICS 4.0.1 and no matter what I do I can not get into recovery. I have tried through Terminal Emulator, CMD fastboot, and Rom Manager. I have the ADB drivers installed but what ever method I use just doesn't fix my issues. Please help, thank you and Merry Christmas.
Edit: Btw I have a At&t nexus s
have you tried reflashing it? it may have been uninstalled somehow. If you power down, hold vol up + power to boot into fastboot....does it say recovery is installed?? If not, just use rom manager to reflash it
What hp420 said.
If you need cwm, just install Rom Manager from the market, use it to flash cwm from within the app, then uninstall rom manager (because it's useless crap).
You may need to rename or remove the stock recovery from system if your rom included it, or it will keep over-writing cwm.

in my experiences its usually flashing cwm from rom manager that causes issues getting into recovery. every time i have tried upgrading cwm from rom manager i cant boot into recovery. i have to use fastboot to flash it manually.

Have you tried flashing it twice in succession? It typically doesn't work well flashing it only once.

[INFO/DISCUSSION] ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.5.0.4 Tf101

PLEASE USE THE CWM UPDATE BY KOUSH ONLY.. ALSO, PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT CWM VERSION 5.5.0.4 has been reported to have some freeze issues, contact Koush and forward a logcat or provide information so he can resolve. Until then, use an earlier version until all the bugs are gone..... thank you--- oka1 moderator
​
Today I noticed That Koush Has released CWM 5.5.04 for Our device. So simply You can Download Rom manager from Market and then just install the CWM.
AllCredits go to KOUSH.
Here IS the .img file.

Installed fine. Reboot to recovery still doesn't work for me. Still works fine when using the app from the market though. Thanks for the heads up.
Reboot to recovery messed up my tab, so it would only boot into recovery (booting to Android was done manually).
works either manually or via market app reboot to recovery, via ClockworkMod restart the system, is not in recovery
"reboot system now" does not work, reboot into recovery again.
Same to me on my tab. Don't install it yet.
Unable to install either through rom manager
or
Terminal method
Rom manger says it installed it but when I reboot to revocery (via another app)
it's still the old one
Terminal emulator says image not found no matter where I store it or what directory I point to
Seems like I'm missing something.
The linked .img file is a blob file with the SOS partition. It can be flashed through the staging partition. If you extract it or strip out the header, it will be a regular .img file that can be flashed through cwm (with a little work).
I haven't flashed it yet.
Same here, unable to boot android again (recovery loop), is there any way to flash the old one from adb?
Thanks
bug
since i have instal it i can't go out of the recovery when i do restart and it reboot in recovery again
go out by pressing power button + volume down , wait a moment and you can select recovery or boot android os
If you go into advanced there's no option to return.
Wasn't there a bug about installing recovery with Rom Manager that causes constant boots into recovery?
let me look...
EDIT: This may or may not apply, but ...

Official, yes, see here the 5.5.0.4 for tf101, the .img and .zip:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/
I should have read more of this thread before flashing. Because now mine does what everyone else is doing. Goes back into the recovery in a loop..
If You have problems return to the older:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346180
=================
mine flashed fine from rom manager pro on Eos-tf101-5 All menu's seem to work fine, but there is no external SD access only internal. Still can't access recovery from rom manager but that's the same standard issue with the rom.
it support tf101g or not ?
Cant flash a new recovery either.
Tried reflashing rogue and still boot loops into cwm.
Downloaded current cwm from web link above and flashed. Still boot loops into recovery.

I would love to go back to the older one...But my Tab doesnt show the sdcard at all. Only internal memory...weird
Flashing the IMG via NVFLASH broke recovery for me. Installing it through ROM Managers works fine.

Stuck with Recovery

Hey, I currently have a CWM based recovery on my phone. But the problem is that I can't change it, I want to get a newer version so I can flash CM 10.2 on my phone. I've tryed to install recoveries with Odin, ADB, Terminal Emulator and even those ROM Manager and GooManager. But each time I try to boot into recovery and see if it works, it still the same old CWM based one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm currently on a 4.3 rom, and when I try to flash it tells me that this rom isn't supported yet. :/
