I just rooted my Nexus 1 Froyo per instructions on theUnlockr.com. I installed ADB first, Then proceded to root. I then flashed a recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img. This was successful. I then booted phone into recovery mode. Selected recovery and the first couple times I received a black screen with an exclamation point in the middle of a triangle next to green android. I flashed recovery rom once again and this time it allowed me to enter. I made my backup image and even booted into recovery mode again�wiped phone clean and restored image. I thought I was golden! Later I tried to boot into recovery mode again and I received same problem as mentioned above. I tried again no luck. I even flashed recovery rom again and It still dose not work. Why could this be happening? I even went through the steps to root phone again (that went well). But still no recovery mode. I even tried another recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img. It did the same thing. Worked one time and then nothing! I need to fix this before I load custom Roms.

I was able to flash recovery via your instructions but phone STILL will not boot into recovery mode. I hold down the volume key and power.....all I get is triangle with droid net to it. Im going to try and Un-root my phone and start from scratch! Thanks for the help!
you are getting the triangle with the droid because the recovery did not flash correctly, try usung rom manager if for nothing else, just to install Amon/clockwork

Did you remove the two scripts like you were told? /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Cool thanks for the advice! I did try Rom Manager and used Amon/Clockwork recovery. After flashing the Recovery Image I booted into recovery from Rom Manger. No problem! BUT.....when I rebooted phone from recovery menu I again went in to Rom Manager and tried to Boot back in to recovery and I got the triangle with the Droid next to it. I pulled battery and started phone again. I flashed Amon/Clockwork recovery again from Rom Mang. and again I was able to successfully boot in to recovery. This pattern goes on and on. It seams that every-time I want to boot into recovery I need to flash Amon/clockwork image. Somewhere phone is not retaining the information. Everything looks to work just fine as long as I Flash before I go into recovery. I'm sure this is not the way it should work. Any ideas?

Khaytsus,
When was I told to remove the two scripts? Where did this come from? Please let me know what they are for and why removing them would help? Also, if I do need to remove these would it be done by using Root File Manager, finding file and selecting delete? Sorry if I sound new to this.....it's because I am! LOL. Thanks for any help you can provide!

It's documented in random places, of course the post below also has the same info. I don't know precisely what the two files do, but they apparently try to restore the recovery.
Trust me, it will fix the problem. Remove them, re-flash recovery.

So, I'm not the OP, but I am having trouble deleting the files despite the fact that they are both say "YES" in read and write in properties. I tried to reflash from ROM Manager and I keep getting an error there. Not sure what to do.
BTW, I'm using a Galaxy Nexus. Would love some help as this is all uncharted terrain for me.

If I understand, your problem is that you can't actually flash a custom recovery from ROM Manager ?

Are you trying to flash a recovery in recovery mode ?

I can't flash from ROM Manager. Initially, I didn't want to purchase the download capability. So, first, I used the program tools and flashed from there. I got Clockwork Mod to work, but then when I restarted it and went into "recovery," I got nothing.
Now, I can't flash at all.
The galaxy nexus should have fastboot capabilities, this is the best and safest way to flash your recovery partition
Be sure to use the proper recovery image for your device
If you need help finding it or setting up fastboot let me know

I have only ever found a guide for a temporary flash. I would follow the instructions and then CWM wouldn't stick. =\
So here is the typical steps to follow
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
And that's it, were you using fastboot to just boot it? Were you doing another method? The more details you give the faster and more accurate your help will be

I used instructions from http://androidforums.com/internatio...root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html#enter-recovery.
The ROM wouldn't "stick" and then the USB wasn't even recognized by the end of everything.
Start by booting into your bootloader and writing down everything word for word on that screen here. Next boot to recovery and write down what you see there. Even better upload pics of each. Again the more detailed you can be the more help you can get

Its always a safe bet too wipe data/cache make a nandroid before you flash!!! Flash at your own risk Me, Davied, DJ_Steve are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device or yourself. Happy Streaking to you all!!!

Well I guess that is pretty stupid question ..
Maybe I flash recovery using this recovery first, then boot into recovery , then flash the .zip file.
NO!!! Your dell streak7 has an unlocked bootloader there for you can go to the clockwork thread by graffixnyc and flash his cwr through fastboot then boot into cwr and flash this. This has too be flashed through cwr.

Question, I have still yet to update Ive always been the cautious type vs instant flashing.
Think I am ready now. So, since I did not OTA yet. But I AM rooted. I have Rom manager installed.
So am I correct when I assume, what I do it, Flash CWR, download this zip, then flash via the app to be updated to 2.2.2, have the tweaks and be set to go?
Also What T-mobile/Dell apps did it remove? Thanks.
You cant flash via rom manager. Its useless other then flashing cwr. But yes boot into bootloader by holding power and plus volume hold it until you see the menu. Select option 2 should put you into cwr. Once in cwr flash the .zip i provided. Reboot and you should be on 2.2.2 rooted. Good luck.

Also are you all using a SD card for storage or nah?
Btw wiping out Data/Cach or whatever, that doesnt touch the internal storage memory does it? Never had a device with internal memory like this. Used to my G1 and using the SD card for everything.
i believe you dont need too wipe by i always do just to be careful. It doesnt take that long too reinstall everything and set it up. i do it for piece of mind. and yes i have a 16gb external sd but i put everything im gonna flash on the internal sd.
Thatruth ask davied or get on irc and if dj steve is there im sure he could help you.
Hey guys,
when I tried flashing CWM on my new HTC One it just booted in normal mode over and over.
I tried every recovery-image available and it nerver worked.
While playing around I finally got it working without flashing the recovery image to the boot partition!
No need to copy root files and CFW files before flashing the recovery!
Instructions
Unlock your device at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Reboot into bootloader
> fastboot flash boot boot.img - thanx to Paul O'Brien
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - thanks to Flyhalf205
> fastboot erase cache
After this you should be able to enter recovery via bootloader or 'adb reboot recovery'.
The recovery image is CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 which worked great for me, didn't try the other ones right now.
I hope I could help
I had issues booting recovery if I used the All in One kit to flash recovery.
So people should flash it manually instead to avoid problems.

It is AROMA related, amarullz have to update the binary
You can flash it 3 times or more, should work.
You can also use Hardware Buttons instead of Touch.. will help as well.
Device still rebooting
Can't flash recovery
same here - no access to recovery so far
Same for me too
Why ?
Got a HTC One from Orange france, and NO RECOVERY seems to stick. That thing boots, but i cannot enter recovery
I've tried using the AiO-Kit to flash CWM touch and normal as well as TWRP as well as the two CWMs manually and then this method. Still can't get access to recovery though

Had the same problem again and again flashing TrickDroid on my HTC One (M7). Can confirm, that avoiding touch will relieve things but freezes can still occur. A few times I even could not reset the phone long-pressing the power + volume up buttons, means I was completely stuck on the frozen aroma screen (since a battery pull is not possible with this device). For anybody who may be in the same situation, try the "[FONT="Courier New]fastboot reboot[/FONT] command, this still came through and rebooted the device.
has this method worked for anyone else?
i'd like to try, but since i currently can't access recovery, i'm afraid to flash a new boot.img

Yes, worked for me. I had the same issue. While flashing Renovate rom, Aroma crapped out right at the end where it was installing the kernel. I was then stuck on boot image until i found this thread.
Also, for what it's worth, i thought I'd flash the boot image again after i got my device running again but it killed my wifi. I had to reflash the rom as wifi in settings was `out of order`....
//edit: okay. i've been able to reproduce the crashing. seems it's an aroma/rom issue (i couldn't tell one way or the other). what matters here is flashing boot image with the provided image does the trick. whatever magic it does, i'm able to flash cwm recovery 6.0.3.1 but I have to flash boot image before, else flashing recovery is fruitless.
anyways, thanks. this thread help me solve what i thought was `bricked` device.
Ok guys,
Im not even new to flashing phones but no idea what the heck happened....
To cut a long story short I tried Renovate which was great but i couldn't change my keyboard so I figured I maybe selected something wrong in aroma. I reinstalled it over my current set up and chose a different set up and flashed. Done. Great. When i tried to reboot it would just boot loop into the recovery.
Now i searched and saw similar issues which were fixed by relocking, and then unlocking the BL which I did but now its even worse. I can't even get into the bootloader. I can leave the device and it bootloops into the recovery but it fails to mount anything so i cannot flash anything at all....
Anybody please can guide me in the right direction?
THanks

I think the reason it is not reading your sd is because when you flashed 4.2.2 it moved the data to some other directory.

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Just to clarify, do I download it to my cpu or phone? Where do I open cmd, in the folder on Windows for the phone?

Download it to your computer and open command prompt in the folder where both fastboot files and your downloaded recovery file is present...

Tried it this morning, still cannot get cwm to flash. This is very frustrating.
I've tried like 4 more times, using Myth and using command prmt, still only get the stock recovery. What am I not doing?
come on guys, I know somebody can help me here. I'm dying to get PA rom on this phone.

terminal will always work just remember your internal SD card is named sdcard0 and your external is named sdcard1.

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?
Hello everyone,
i want to install a custom Rom, unlocked the Bootloader and tried to install CWM by using LeBobo's Recovery Flasher v1.4. I get a success-message in the command prompt, but it seems that CWM isn't installed. When i reboot into Recovery i get a broken Android Symbol.
I have attached two Pictures, perhaps you know what to do now?!
Thank you very much!
Getting the broken Andriod symbol is normal.
You need to press Vol+ and Vol- together to get into the menu.
I have found that you need to press and release them both together about 4 times to get in. But I'm only on the stock recovery so CWM may be a little different.
Hope you find a way in!!
Regards

Ok, now i'm in... But not CWM. Android System Recovery <3e>... Seems that CWM hasn't been installed
I have also tried and failed with the Lebobo method.
I have not had this confirmed and cannot find the answer but suspect you have to unlock the bootloader before you can install CWM or any otehr custom recovery. Hopefully someone will answer this soon.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

I guess that you're not bootloader unlocked but if you are, you can try another tutorial at development thread.
