[Q] Broke my recovery image. :(

Hi there,
I've just installed CM 6.1.1 via Amon Ra's recovery. CyanogenMod is pretty damn good I must say. At any rate, I got interested in the ClockWork ROM manager app and decided to give it a try. Seemed to install OK from the first menu item but (foolishly foolish now it seems) I didn't do anything to remove Amon Ra's original recovery before installing via the menu.
At any rate, any of the options I choose from the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to require a reboot into the recovery don't work. "Reboot into recovery" and "backup current ROM" reboot and intitally give me the regular Nexus One splash (with unlock icon) then go to a black screen. I can still get to the regular bootloader screen by holding the trackball and pressing power but going to HBOOT gives me a blackscreen on reboot too.
I've given the forums a pretty good trawl but haven't found any answers so far. I wondered about flashing back to a stock bootloader but haven't found any instructions that don't also require flashing back to the stock ROM also.
Can anyone tell me how to flash the bootloader properly/fully (with ClockWork) given the fact that I appear to have broken it. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I really like the idea of being able to use the ClockWork ROM manager!

Use fastboot to flash an SLCD compatible recovery.
Blackscreen means that the SLCD driver is missing and cannot correctly display the recovery.
The compatible recoveries are Amon_ra 1.9 alpha and above and only the latest clockworkmod recovery (which is only available through a certain menu in the ROM Manager app)

Wrong forum bud but here you go:
1) Download this
2) Reboot to bootloader (Open up a cmd window in your sdk/tools/ folder and type 'adb reboot bootloader')
3) Copy recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.0-passion.img to the tools folder.
4) Verify fastboot recognises your device: 'fastboot devices'
5) Issue command 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.0-passion.img'
6) Finally reboot using 'fastboot reboot'
You should then be able to use ROM manager just fine
Edit: Or follow the above post using the Rom manager gui.

Wrong forum! Doh! Apologies. Just noticed I'm now listed below this thread: "Thread DELETED/Locked??? >>>> This is DEVELOPMENT section not Q&A/General!!!! <<<<" Hope I don't get whacked with the ban hammer.
Thanks for the amazingly fast replies guys. Tried flashing the clockwork .img file (not using adb but linux-fastboot seems to work OK on my Ubuntu install) and rebooted from the bootloader with the HBOOT - recovery option and tried fasboot-linux reboot from terminal. Still getting a black screen. Same with reinstalling Clockwork recovery from the GUI. Hmmmm.
Incidentally, is there anyway to tell from the bootloader screen what recovery flashes are installed?

Oh wait, your HBOOT is black or your recovery? Try a direct "reboot recovery" command from your terminal to see if the recovery now works...
If it's only the hboot, you should be able to flash the 0.35 hboot which supports SLCD

or fastboot oem rebootRUU - if your device's bootloader is unlocked, else be aware that any fastboot command will unlock it, even if you don't apply the oem unlock.

Only clockwork 2.5.1.1 and above, our Amon 1.9 and above is compatible.
Open ROM Manager, and flash a newer version. The option is under All Clockwork Recoveries, at the bottom of the initial page...

Utter crap.

Righto so I've already flashed to the latest version of clockwork (from the GUI) which is where things started getting funky. When I get back to my laptop ill try rebooting into recovery instead of using hboot. And perhaps try flashing to hboot 3.5 if you guys think this might help. I do still get a blackscreen from using the reboot into recovery option from theROM manager GUI.
EDIT: Oh cool. Just read your post more carefully danger-rat. Went to 2.5.1.1 of clockwork and I'm all sorted when booting into recovery from the GUI. Not sure about hboot but I guess if its working from the GUI its all good. ') Thanks for the help people.
EDIT EDIT: I really should try things before posting, anyways hboot works good too now! Niiiiice.

[Q] stuck in boot loop

I rooted and flash my nexus one with a rom that was based on the cm7 nightly. It installed completely and I rebooted. It gets past the static x but loops in the moving x. I've tried so many things over the past 8 hours I need help to get a rom working on this. I tried going through the fastboot. Tried using recovery to update from sdcard and I'm having no luck getting this to work again. Hopefully someone on here knows how to fix my problem so I can get a working rom on my phone. Thanks everyone.

Did u install recovery (amon or clockworkmod?? If you did just dload another rom, wipe and flash again
N1

When I originally did the install I installed clockwork and did a back up. When I go into recovery all I can do is either wipe data, update from sdcard and wipe cache. I'm about ready to pull my hair out. I have no clue what went wrong. I've installed new roms on my old phones and no problems, I follow all the instructions.

nandroid, wipe all, retry flashing.
or restore your nandroid backup.
Looking at "adb logcat" while its booting will pinpoint the error.

I've tried to go through fastboot to use my recovery image but I get failed (remote: signature verify fail). I don't know how to get into nandroid and my computer I can only use the fastboot not adb to use logcat. Is there a way to use the fastboot that doesn't come up with the signature fail. I really don't know what happened. What other ways can I use my recovery image if I can't do it from the physical phone?

Sounds like a bad backup. DId you verify MD5?
If you want to start over..
Download AmonRa Recovery 2.2.1. From thread below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
With phone in fastboot mode and connected to PC via usb:
1. Command Prompt: fastboot devices (make sure device is connected)
2. Make sure recovery image file is in your SDK/tools folder
3. Make sure your working directory is SDK/tools folder
4. Command Prompt: fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
5. After flash is done, reboot to recovery.
6. Wipe everything.
7. Re-flash your ROM.
You can always go back to Clockworkmod if you want. Just re-flash clockwork recovery.

thanks for the help but I'm still getting the signature verify failed even with the new recovery img.

Did you unlock your phone (fastboot oem unlock) or did you just root it?
If you haven't unlocked your phone, perhaps try that then use the previous instructions to flash clockwork or amon recovery image.

Dude, thanks sooo much. Unlocking the bootloader did the trick. I almost had to go buy a new phone. If you lived in the San Jose area I would buy you a beer.

Make sure you add to his "Thanks" meter! BTW. That would have been my next suggestion...

[Q] Milestone flashing recovery issue

Ok, so bit of background here.
I installed MIUI Rom using GOT OpenRecovery.
Its very cool and I really enjoy using it. Much better (IMO) than CM7.
It got to Saturday and it said there was an OTA update to install which I couldn't work out how to install. On researching it a bit around the internet it turns out that you need to have ClockworkMod Recovery flashed in order to install OTA updates.
So I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I did a few different things. Firstly I downloaded the ClockworkMod Rom Manager and chose the option in there to flash. It said "Downloaded successfully" but it didn't flash. I rebooted into recovery and tried to "Apply update.zip" but it said something about it not being signed properly and wouldn't open.
So onto the next bit. I tried to flash it using one of the many manual instructions on the internet. eg:
Code:
adb shell
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
and
Code:
fastboot-mac flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
The first one seems to be quite quick and just goes to the next # line. There's no error or confirmation or anything. This one broke the stock recovery. Now when I boot into recovery there's just a bootloader screen with an error on it (Err:A5,69,35,00,2F).
The second one doesn't do anything. Well it goes onto a new line and it says "sending 'recovery' (2798 KB)..." and just stays like that indefinitely until I do Ctrl+C and cancel it. Similarly doing:
Code:
fastboot-mac erase recovery
shows: "erasing 'recovery'..." and stays at that indefinitely.
So now I'm stuck. My system works - I can boot into MIUI and use the phone normally, but I don't know how to get the recovery partition working properly.
The best thing that could happen is that I get ClockworkMod Recovery installed so that I can flash MIUI updates, but failing that I would at least like to get the stock recovery back so I can continue to use GOT OpenRecovery.
What can I do to sort this?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

GOT recovery? You have a Milestone then? You are on the wrong path then. Clockwork Recovery Mod doesn't work on the Milestone, nor does ROM Manager.
You need to reflash the stock sbf for your country, then flash the rootable sbf, place OpenRecovery on your SD Card, and root the phone, flash a custom ROM and reboot. Look at the tutorials in the Milestone development forum and ask here if you have any other questions.

I do have a milestone - sorry, I forgot it was the Droid AND Milestone forum.
Motorola milestone is included in the list of recovery images on the clockworkmod website (clockworkmod[dot]com/recovery_images.html). Plus when installing the ROM Manager and clicking "flash recovery" it says "Confirm phone" with "Motorola Milestone" in the options.
I'm pretty sure as well from reading around on the internet and looking at different forums and such that Clockworkmod does work on the Milestone... maybe I'm completely wrong.
Thanks

It doesn't work, even though it shows it as supported. Because the bootloader is not unlocked on the Milestone, it will cause a soft brick. You will need to follow my instructions to get your Milestone running on MIUI again. The OTA update for MIUI works for devices with CWM installed, so it doesn't really work with Milestone. You'll need to manually update MIUI when DannyDroid posts the updates.

Ah gutted, ok thank you for that. I will follow your instructions. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

Just out of interest - a quick search on google shows that it IS possible to update MIUI OTA for the Milestone... Any ideas how that works? Is there a different recovery or something?

People say that ROM Manager MIGHT work on Milestone. I don't think so and I wouldn't risk it just for OTA updates, seeing as the miuiAndroid build is very basic compared to the one Danny releases. Better to just wait for his releases, a lot more worthwhile!

Ok, well thank you very much! Restored to stock and gonna keep on top of danny's releases. Thanks skadude.

Doesn't go into recovery

I followed the video tutorial and when I flash recovery, then proceed to boot into recovery it fails to boot into recovery, it just flashes then boots like normal when I perm root. I don't know what's going on. I tried the clear cache command with no response.
I have searched and didn't find anything.
Anyone able to help please?

It is most likely you did something wrong when you flashed the recovery img, just follow the tuto again and make sure to follow each step.
Here is a guide made by mike: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618

I have done that. Tried a few times. I am fairly "in the know" with rooting ect, but I just can't figure this out.

Did you reboot after flashing the recovery or did you just go straight into it? I had the same problem and what fixed it is rebooting after flashing the recovery 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'.

Tried that to.
When I press perm root, it just reboots normal like recovery doesn't even exist.

Have you tried flashing stock recovery and trying to boot in it? I know that doesn't fix anything, I am just curious if your device will actually boot into any recovery state at all. I have read on XDA about some devices not being able to boot into recovery for some reason.
Here's the stock recovery, just in case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38504123

Okay give me a shot at that.
I noticed after flashing recovery, mine doesn't tampered like it should?

The stock recovery says it's not available anymore.

If it doesn't say TAMPERED then the recovery must have not been flashed to begin with and that is why it's not booting into it. Which recovery are you trying to install? I use TWRP 2.5.0 and I flashed it with fastboot then restarted and it booted fine. My device is S-ON, by the way, and running Trickdroid 7.5.
US Developer Edition Recovery: http://d-h.st/b5g
T-Mobile Recovery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvs38223dfrzsny/recovery_tmobile.img
I am not sure if either one will work with your device since I am guessing it's international? But they might be worth a shot.
Never mind, I found the stock international recovery for you: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22045273/htc1-stock-recovery.img it was on page 4 of the thread. Give it a go.

I flashed the stock recovery and it still boots like there is no recovery there. and it doesn't say "tampered"
This is crap
EDIT: Yeah I figured it's not being flashed since it's not tampered, but no matter what I try it won't flash.
I'm navigating to the folder: CD C:\One_All-In-One_Kit_v\Data\Recoveries then typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it doesn't work.
It says it's flashed ect, but doesn't boot into it, nore show tampered.

This is very weird and unfortunately I do not know the solution to that. I do not use the All-In-One-Kit, actually, but just a mini-SDK with fastboot files inside. I use shift + right click and "open command prompt window here" rather than navigate to the location, it's just much easier that way. Can you try flashing the latest TWRP recovery?

I just downloaded TWRP and flashed it ( fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ) it said all the jabber, like it worked, rebooted and still no "tampered" just reboots like nothing ever happen.

Would ADB be any better?

Ugh man that's horrible. I honestly do feel your frustration because I have faced similar situations with my HTC devices (One X and One) countless times, and it sucks because you know the correct steps yet it's not working. I sure hope someone knowledgeable about this can come in and help you. Best of luck.
EDIT: I have only used ADB to sideload a ROM but I don't know about flashing recoveries. If you know how to do it, then why not? It's worth a shot for sure.
EDIT #2: And if you're not familiar with ADB, this article should get you started: http://www.howtogeek.com/125769/how-to-install-and-use-abd-the-android-debug-bridge-utility/
Make sure you follow all the steps to the word and also install HTC Sync Manager for the proper drivers to be loaded.

I know right, driving me nuts.
I've never done adb to flash a recovery before but don't know if I would want to be the pidgeon to try lol

There seems to be another method for flashing recoveries besides fastboot.
http://androidforums.com/cdma-evo-3...lash-recovery-image-via-fastboot-sd-card.html
This is an HTC Evo section but it could work for the One as well, although I am not sure of it. I have done some Googling and I did not come across any articles/threads saying that it is possible to flash a recovery using ADB, so that might not be possible.

I've mine unlocked with "fastboot oem unlock", but I'm not able to root the phone. In fact, I think I've lost my stock recovery, I didn't check it before unlock, so I'm not even sure if the recovery had been missing before the phone was unlocked. When I try to boot into recovery now, all I get is an android robot on its belly with a red warning triangle on it. I also can't boot/flash custom recovery either, adb seems the phone just fine, but it tries to push the recovery, the phone just freeze up.
Someone else on android central forum also has his stock recovery missing right out of the box, getting the same belly-up robot as mine, very strange.

I don't want to permanently flash a custom recovery like CWM, only want to sideload it to flash SuperSU and gain root. The command I use is "fastboot boot recovery.img" where recovery.img being the name of CWM. Don't know why it's not working though.

Yes, that's the stock recovery. You then have to press power + volume up (in the case of the Nexus 4, for example). You have to manually flash CWM as you would for the normal One
e.g. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You apparently can no longer 'boot' into CWM - you have to flash it
