How do you use clockworkmod rom manager?

I have a Mytouch 3G running test 7 on my phone, and i just installed the clockworkmod rom manger. After, installed it i wanted to flash a new rom, so flashed the clockwork mod recovery, and when i tried to install the new rom from the sd card, it keeps on getting stuck on the mytouch screen, and nothing happens. How do i get into the recovery screen? thanks

First: This belongs in Q & A !!!!111
Which ROM did you flash? Maybe you had to wipe before

right now, i'm running cyanogen test-7, but when i go into the clockworkmod rom manger app and pick the flash rom from sd card, it just says it has to go to the recovery, and then my phone will reset and it would just get stuck on the mytouch screen. So, i just pull out the battery and reset the phone again, and i realized if i press the end button, it will go the rom that is already on the phone. I'm i suppose to push some buttons or something to get to the recovery screen?

No it should flash the rom you select and reboot the phone to boot the new rom without keypress needed.
maybe the wrong device was selected when downloading the recovery image? Try reinstalling clockworkmod recovery from rom manager.

Mod edit: not dev related, moved to q&a

I have the same problem.
I downloaded and installed Rom Manager from the Market and it has completely screwed up my recovery (I can't get into it at all). I tried flashing Amon's again (through Rom Manager) and it still doesn't work.

Your recovery has been corrupted, you will need to flash it through fastboot.

Connect to your PC via USB, and from the command line issue "fastboot erase recovery" and then "fastboot flash recovery filename.img"
More on common fastboot commands here can be found on these forums, i'm not allowed to post links.

i connected my phone to my computer but nothing on my computer pops up. only the new hardware wizzard pops up. what do i do from here? im i suppose to get a adb popup? how do i set up the fast boot? i'm so confused..thanks

some one, please help..i want to be able to flash new roms in the future...thanks in advance

Can I sugges that you try this sticky thread at the top of this forum board.
It contains all you need to know on who to set up fastboot and how to use it - there are a couple of tutorials on it if you read through the thread.

CM 5.0.7 for Dream/Sapphire introduced a bug in flash_image. It causes recovery flashes to fail. It has since been fixed in the latest test of 5.0.8 I believe.

Man i have the same darn bug cant get back into recovery for nothing, and i dont have a pc to fastboot i have a non intel based mac so no adb or fastbooting, i have been doing fine for forever without adb or fastboot but is there any way around this one, i need help bad, im on HTTClay Superbadv1.3 and it has all sorts of bugs but i cant nandroid or bart or flash any rom without recovery, can someone please help!!!
Also is there another way to erase the recovery partition?

[Q] Kinda Bricked My Milestone

I had a perfectly running milestone on SHOLS_U2_02.27.B (Arabic Build). I flashed the phone using rsdlite 4.9 using G.O.T. 2.2.1 UK sbf. Everything worked perfect and the phone booted up and I had android 2.2.1.
When I tried to get into recovery mode nothing happened. I tried using the camera+power and x+power and it still didn't work.
I rooted the phone using universal androot and used quick boot to boot in recovery. I got the exclamation mark in a triangle, however, pressing the volume up and camera didn't work after like 50 tries.
I thought that something was wrong so I flashed the phone back to my original build using rsdlite.
Rsdlite works fine until it reboots the phone. The phone gets past the motorola logo however it gets stuck on the android logo. The android logo appears disappears appears... and so on. I left it there for 30 minutes and the same thing kept happening.
I reflashed back to G.O.T. UK 2.2.1 and it worked again, no problems.
I tried many official builds (UK 2.0, Arabic 2.1,Arabic 2.1update2,UK 2.1) and I get the same results.
I tried the G.O.T. 2.2.1 Telus sbf and it worked.
So to sum it all up, I can't flash anything but a G.O.T. build and I can't get into recovery mode. I can only get into bootloader.
Thanks for any help in advanced...

im new to moto droid , but if it seems to be bricked try a unrooting guide, that tends to get you back to were you need to be.
and if that does not work i say trying to download rom manager and flashing " clockwork recovery"
hope this helps bro

I tried rom manager and the main problem is that I can't access recovery so any unrooting/recovery guides are useless.
At this point I believe that the phone is damaged. I think I'll just flash it with an official rom and then return it as non working.

Have you tried restoring nandroid via ADB?

Hmm I have no idea how, could you tell me how or link me to a guide please?

Have you tried flashing the 90.78 Bootloader? cos this Bootloader allows you to enter the recovery mode by pressing the 'X'+power button and volume up+camera button after the triangle with exclamation mark appears.
Don't forget to extract G.O.T OpenRecovery.zip/Androidiani OpenRecovery.zip at the root of your sdcard. Once you've entered the recovery 2e(all the alphabets are in blue), select apply update. Without OpenRecovery installed in your sdcard,the apply update is useless.
If those method still couldn't get into the recovery mode,i suggest you need to flash vulnerable_recovery.sbf after you flash to stock ROM or any one you like. Google for OpenRecovery_v1_46_SHOLS. In the zip file contains the .sbf

I am on the 90.78 bootloader, I tried everything you just said before and nothing works. At this point I believe it's a hardware error. I will just flash the phone with the official sbf and replace it using warranty. Thanks for the suggestions though.

[Q] Recovery boot problem

First off, I'm very sorry as I know by now you are mostly sick of noobs but I tried to figure out what I'm doing wrong on my own and am just stuck.
So here it goes:
I rooted my DROID 2.2.1 with superone click. Did everything I've read to do and tried to install bugless beast ROM. Tried to boot into recovery but I got the triangle exclamation point screen on reboot. Tried to install the ROM via ROM manager and the same thing happened. I was then able to get to clockwork recovery through ROM manager somehow and installed the ROM. At this point, I got the startup screen for bugless beast and it just looped. I restored back to Froyo and cannot get back to recovery boot because that $#%% screen with the triangle exclamation is killing me.
What should I do now? Or am I just too noob at this and should go back to the Matrix lifestyle of "ignorance is bliss" by unrooting?
Thanks again.
Matt

prepare to kick yourself in the head ^^
- the "triangle exclamation" pictures is EXACTLY the point where you can enter Recovery.
here´s how: press "volumeUP" and the "camera" button at the same time.
then navigate through the recovery (if you have a custom recovery installed, you´ll need to choose "apply update.zip" to load the custom/open recovery on the first screen) using your D-Pad.

Thank you for the button combo to get where I need to go. Now does anyone know why when I load a ROM, the start up screen just loops forever? I have tried loading cyanogen6 and bugless beast now both with the same issue.

nevermind...I'm stupid. Sorry. Needed to wipe data. But how do I get all my data back? If I restore data through nandroid then I just get boot loops again.

I haven't used rom manager before.
So i would recommend you to use open recovery to do flashing or rooting.
Have u flash a vulnerable recovery sbf ??
If yes, you can go to recovery mode and select "apply update".
Then the open recovery is applied.
By using OR, you can root phone and apply any updates you want.

bootup problem

attempted root and used superboot grj22 from modoco pphone is unlocked and after double clicking on indows bat file as directed phone is locked on boot x
this phone has just come back from htc with a new power switch installed and 2.3.4.
anyway could use some help daughter is upset I locked her phone.
can get to boot menu however can not get into recovery. I get a triangle with exclamation in it
thanks

Please read the Wiki, Rooting guide for unlocked bootloader.
Flash recovery through fastboot.
Flash whatever ROM you want from recovery.
You've flashed a wrong kernel (which is contained in "superboot"), that's why you can't boot.

another question
read wiki and followed instructions which said after loading passimg that this was an older version. searched more and found another thread that gave a new file that was supposed to load the older version of the rom and get around the error "older version"
still not working any other ideas will be appreciated

Just to make sure I understand right you tried the frg83 passimg file and you got "main version is older" error? If so then can I just ask you is your bootloader unlocked (at the X screen before the cyanogen mod logo do you see an unlocked padlock)?

hi
yes padlock on screen is unlocked tryed to flash again and get the same error version is older
thanks for trying to help kid leaves for school tonight and is freaking

more
also askes if I want to reboot device

It'll be long fixed by then don't worry
Boot into bootloader then from there select the recovery option. Once there tell me what you see if you see and android with a /!\ next to it then press power and vol+ power slightly before. Then you will get a menu select power down. If you go straight to the menu tell me what color the writing is.

hi
get the triangle white with a orange exclamation in it

Ok then you'll need to flash a recovery via fastboot. So since you bootloader is unlocked I assume you already have the SDK set up and the drivers installed if not then I can help you with that too, but now just download this file and place it in the same directory as fastboot on the computer and download this file and put it on the root of your sd card (not in any folders).
Then boot the phone into fastboot (hold down the trackball while powering up) then connect the phone to the computer via usb and open a command prompt in the directory where you have fastboot. Then input these commands:
fastboot devices (this should return the s/n number from your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the name of the first file you downloaded earlier)
fastboot boot recovery.img (same thing here)
The phone should then boot into recovery from there use the trackball to navigate go to flash zip from sd card then chose zip and chose the second file you downloaded earlier (the one you put on the sd card), after that wait for it to flash then press vol- to go back to the recovery main menu then select reboot system now and your all good you have stock with root access, if you want to flash a custom ROM then just ask I can explain that too.

As I've said, follow the guide FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER.
You didn't.
The guide for unlocked bootloader is in Unroot/Restore section, called "using fastboot".
Actually, the only thing you need to do is to install recovery. Go to "recovery" guide - again, FOR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER - and install Amon_Ra's recovery.
Once you have it, you can flash whatever you want, including stock ROM.

ok
everything is good except that i tryed to flash downloaded zip from sd and got error that zip is signed wrong also zip verifacation failed
again thanks excited I got this far.

so after this gets fixed than will phone reboot and go to 2.3.4 that was on there before?
will I be good to go for a new rom and last but least like the miuis and recommendations from an expert?
funny I bought the sensation and forgot how to do all this probably the pressure of the child (oh my god you wrecked my phone) Forgetting of course it was dads to begin with DARN KIDS

me dumb as a box of rocks toggled zip verifacation and ra unzipped.
afraid to push any buttons.
should I reboot?
and then Its ok to load a rom?
thanks
radio should be ok as it was just loaded from htc?

Ya you should be good don't worry you can't brick it by flashing something to the system partition only to the recovery and hboot partitions. Just select reboot system now and all should work fine.
Sorry for the late response I was away from my computer

still stuck on nexus x screen ??

earlier someone posted that when I used superbot I got the wrong kernel?
not sure but still stuck

just tryed to boot into recovery and it wouldnt go

Oh right sorry forgot an important step you kind of need a ROM my bad ok so forget about su you're going to need to flash a ROM I suggest cyanogen mod as a first ROM but it's up to you if you want miui or something then go for it. Here's a link to cm7 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31690913/android%20files/update-cm-7.0.3-N1-signed.zip
So to flash this simply boot into recovery then go to wipe, wipe all at least 2X I do 5X to make sure then just go to flash zip from sd card and flash the ROM.

In that case do like we did last time and reflash it through fastboot. Now sorry but I gotta go maybe someone else can come and help you if not I'll be back later tonight.

thanks
thank you so much for helping me with this got everything working including the new miui rom.
when you panic just a little you forget all the things you knew how to do before.
thanks again.

Motorola Milestone Stuck in Bootloader :/ Help

Hello. I bought like new Motorola Milestone today. On that phone I have everything like from shop-stock. 2.1 Android and unrooted. So.. I decided to install vulnerable recovery by RSD Lite. Everything cool; phone restart to system. Next I insert sd card from my old Milestone with open recovery on it. I clicked "X" and select update.zip from sd card. Open Recovery turns on. On SD I have also CyanogenMod7 so i want to install that. Phone turns off in half of instalation. I've tried install it again about 10 times. My phone now stuck on Motorola Logo or it booted to Bootloader . I will forgot; I've tried also to install nandroid cm9 backup from my another broken milestone with all files (boot.img, bpsw.img, cdrom.img, cust.img, data.img, devtree.img, lbl.img, logo.img, system.img) when it was able to enter openrecovery. Don't know why I've tried to install vulnerable recovery again and....My phone always turns on to bootloader 90.78 with Errors;- Err:1A,23,35,23,00. What happens? I don't have any idea so, please help me. Is there any way to install android by RSD Lite?
