What ROM are you running?
i think he was trying to do idiot proof like me but the link to the clockwork recovery went down so we both have the one that was included after we rooted (the one that dosent show all app in market). So basically we have no recovery to flash new roms. My adb isnt working either.
we also have no idea how to give rom manager SU permissions
sounds about right. stock rom since I cant flash a rom.
Upss..sorry! Find solution on other thread..please,delete this post
Hey, I am trying to successfully get a new ROM, and in all the forums and such I have read tell me that with the Desire Z/G2 I need to flash the newest ClockWorkMod recovery. So i have downloaded a couple different recovery .img files.
Now when i use Emulator, i put in;
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recoveryname.img
and it says
flash_image: not found
I dont understand why ROM Manager doesnt give the newest recovery file as an option.
Can anyone help me in this situation?
Thanks

Download Root Explorer and navigate to /system/bin
Make sure /system is mounted in r/w then take this attached file, unzip it, and place it inside of /system/bin
Go back into terminal and try that command again.
ok so I installed root manager, and put the flash_image.zip in the system/bit, and tried it again with the terminal emulator, but i still have no results, it says after the pause when you plress enter after the flash_image prompt, your supposed to reboot the phone and it should start with the new recovery, but when i open ROM manager it staill shows V 2.5.... If i did somthing wrong i cant figure it out., Please help.
Thanks

Follow these instructions. You can't go wrong. Make sure you back out of the app and go back in. It sets the cursor to the correct posistion. All you have to do is put the .img in the root of your sd. Hope this helps, it did for me.

wait, so why aren't you just flashing the recovery through ROM manager? Are you trying to install CWR 3.0+?
yes I am trying to flash cwm 3.0, and it is not an option with ROM manager. I will try the Youtube instructions. Thanks
Ok so I tried the instructions with the Youtube video, and when i do the cmd promt in Terminal i get this;
Cant open device: "/dev/block/mmcblk0"
error in reading mbr!
failed with error: -1
I have the recovery.img file (not zip) on the sd card, I used root mamnager to put it in the bin file within system. but the instructions on the video say to use astro and it doesnt give an option to go as deep as root manager.
Thanks
Yes unzip it but make sure its in the root of your sd. That means not folders at all. That's the command that he is making in the video. I don't think you can flash cwm 3.0 in rom manager, only revert back to earlier recoveries, for froyo roms.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Make sure the file is named what your commanding it to be. Make sure its recovery.img no caps.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
OK so I am trying this too. I am putting the recovery image directly to the root of my sd and I can see that it's there. But in TE, I put in the commands and it tells me
flash_image: not found
It's there!!!! I can see it when I have my phone connected. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: I am running stock rooted. Does this have something to do with it?
Rooted running a stock rom? Honestly I can't tell you all I know is I'm running custom rom. If I had to guess I would say it doesn't. All I can say is I had issues until I watched the video, sorry I can't help more. Only thing I would say to do is wipe everything you did and try redoing it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I can say you should only have one .img in your sd to not confuse it. I'm pretty sure you can use command prompt on your pc if you have access to one.

Ok, I think I am getting somewhere, I was searching my sdcard on my computer, and I realised that the root of my sdcard is not called "sdcard" so in the command i was doing it wrong, It is called "HTC DESIRE" so i did it in Emulator and it worked i rebooted my phone in recovery and I am now rocking the new ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5...
Thanks all for the help, Hope what i discovered helps someone else.
Wait, Wait, Wait... I just screwed it up again... I went into ROM Manager after I successfully flashed 3.0.0.5. and it was not showing that in ROM Manager, so I tapped on flash latest recovery, and damnit... it replaced all my hard work with the 2.5 recovery... I have tried to repeat the flash process a few times with 3.0, and i have not been successful... Help... I dont know what to do now!!!
Instead of flashing the recovery in rom manager, after you've inputted the
su
# flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img
you can just type in after it
# reboot recovery
and it will reboot you into CWM 3.0. Be sure to perform a nandroid backup under 2.2 first and when you want to go back to a froyo rom, you'll have to flash the 2.5 recovery image again.
Yes, you will not see it in rom manager. Just reboot into the recovery and if you see orange and cwm 3.0 your good. Just repeat the steps.

"flash_image: not found" means that you do not have the 'flash_image' binary installed. Follow the guide here to get 'flash_image' installed on your device (the 'flash_image' binary is attached).
As for why ROM Manager not giving the newest recovery as an option, ROM Manger isn't fully compatible with the latest recovery as it just came out. The latest recovery (I'm assuming you're referring to v3.x) is only for Gingerbread based ROM's, if you're trying to install a Froyo based ROM then you should be using recovery version 2.x.

I will try this tonight, thank you. I haven't run into this in any of the tutorials I've read though. I appreciate it.
Hey everyone I found a site that shows me how to flash CWM 3.0 through ROM Manager,
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-3-using-rom-manager/
However, it is not working for me, if anyone has been successful in doing it this way please let me know cause evrything i try this i still am left with CWM 2.5. I really want to try the new Cyanagen nightly ROM, but i need to have 3.0... I had it once when i was doing it through terminal, however stupid me went back into rom manager and ruined what i did, and could not redo it... i am getting frustrated.
Please Help me.
Thanks
Hey guys, getting my Nexus 4 for Christmas and looking to install Franco Kernel.
I was wondering the best way to install it, I have searched for tuts but nothing is clear. I know he has an app for his kernel, does this require root to use? It doesn't mention it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Go here and download the All In One script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688
You're going to need to unlock the bootloader (will wipe your phone), so follow the steps in doing that.
Next, you'll need the latest CWM Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995440
Follow those steps. Then download the Franco kernel .zip from its appropriate thread and flash it in CWM.

First thing I'm going to tell you - Go back and read the OP. Because he actually does have instructions in it (Although very minimal).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34375927&postcount=1
Here's the quick and simple of how to do it.
1. Download the Nexus 4 Toolkit -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688 (READ THE OP COMPLETELY)
2. Unlock the bootloader.
3. Install custom recovery.
4. TAKE A BACKUP!
5. Transfer kernel files to device.
6. Use recovery to flash files.
7. Hold breath while booting.
DO NOT USE TOOLKITS. Especially if you're new to modding.
That's like saying, I want to overclockmy computer. Just give me a toolkit where I can one click and overclock my computer.

Do it the proper way and download ADB drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514942 (enable USB debugging)
set up ADB environment
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
unlock bootloader on phone
download clockwork recovery or TWRP (i suggest TWRP)
put the .img file of recovery into your /platform-tools/
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-file>.img
then boot into recovery and there you can flash your ROM, gapps, kernel.
In the long run, IT WILL PAY OFF because eventually YOU will be faced with a problem with your phone and you won't be able to recover your phone because you dont know basic fastboot or adb commands all simply because you wanted to use a toolkit. People are already asking on how to use adb / fastboot in Q&A, we can reduce the clutter by not having people use toolkits and actually learning how adb / fastboot works when it isn't a very complicated thing to do at all

Make sure the boot partition is checked when you are backing up. To return to the stock kernel, (if you ever need to) you will need to restore this backed up boot image.

no you need custom recovery
Unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and flash the zip.

Since none of the Root Toolkits were working for me, I've gone ahead to try to root through the command prompt.
I have a question about CWM Recovery though. I've flashed it on my Nexus 7, but not permanently since adb always hangs. (Which is why the toolkits weren't working for me). Everytime I reboot my Nexus 7, I have to re-flash the recovery.
My question is: Is there another way to make the CWM Recovery permanent? Not through adb? Would I be able to first root my Nexus, and then make the CWM permanent another way?
You're losing cwm every reboot because you happened t to overlook the fact that, to make it permanent, you need to delete the script that reverts you to stock recovery upon reboot. Read one of the routing guides stickied in the dev forum and follow the instructions. Easy as pie.

well, you dont use ADB to install recovery, you use FASTBOOT
once you are rooted, you could go the easy way and install GooManager and use TWRP instead of CWM...or use ROM Manager to flash cwm
*hint: the reason its not sticking is because of a file you didnt delete in the /system partition.....

I was following this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1741395
In order to make it permanent, I need to run adb which always hangs on me as stated above. Hence why I was looking for an alternate route.

I know you use Fastboot to install the recovery, though you use adb to make the recovery permanent.
I think I might try out GooManager and flash TWRP after I am rooted. Thanks!

You don't need adb to make it permanent. Use a root file explorer or a terminal emulator
