what do you mean?
when i opened rom manager and choose the rom i wanted to install it asked if i wanted to wipe and backup or something but i know i check both. then i install the zip in the recovery boot menu and rebooted and no luck. then i tried another rom and wiped before installing and still no luck.

At the very top of rom manager, you must flash 2.5.0.1 recovery. Did you do this first?

So you flashed the clockworkmod recovery, booted into recovery and made a nandroid of your stock rom. Then, what rom were trying to flash?

This exact same thing happened to me. What I did to fix it was pull the battery, then wipe everything (dalvik, data, cache), and then rebooted. My phone was able to boot then.

I'm having the same problem with rom manager. I just rooted my desire using the unrevoked method, then ran rom manager. I did install the recovery mode first, then backed up the rom. How my desire is just rebooting to the htc screen. How do I get out of this?
Many thanks,
Joe

dumb question, but how did you wipe everything?

Hey, that's exactly the same issuing I'm experiencing now. Did you solve it? And if yes, how?
Well, a few hours later I solved it by restoring a backup and then booting went well. Also described in a thread on androidforums dot com (I can't enter the link here due to not having posted enough messages) .

I don't know if this helps, but I'm pretty sure nandroids are specific to which recovery they were created with, I read that somewhere a few days ago. If you did not have clockwork before, I would try getting the recovery you used to make the nand, install that recovery and then restore the nand. Then try the whole wipe everything and get clockwork and go to town. If you haven't tried RA/Darch 1.7 recovery, I would recommend it, I personally like it better than clockwork, it seems faster, and simpler to use.

Exactly What "Il Duce" Said Will Fix Your Problem, Same Exact Thing Happened To Me, What I Did Was Go Back To Previous Version Of Rom Manager Then Flash Alternate Recovery, AND Regular Clockwork Recovery, Should Be Good After That!

HELPPP!!!!!!

Hey I tried to do the Firerat's Custom MTD Partitions (resize Data,System and Cache) .. But I never had adb installed.. Now I'm stuck trying to get into adb.. my phone wont be located on my computer. And if I try to reflash a rom it gives me Installation aborted error. Any help would be appreciated!!

Try running the 2.1 RUU, then re-root again and go from there with custom recovery, roms, etc.

Think that you could post the link?

I have had success with this without adb...using clockwork recovery...despite that it says you need to adb reboot recovery...you could try to wipe everything and then flash firerats recovery, wipe all again, select reboot to recovery and flash your nandroid and then firerats boot

Try to reflash the recovery , if that don't work relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu and get you back up and running then unlock again and flash recovery then restore the backup . The toolkit makes this process only a few minutes .

Also might wanna try fast boot flashing the kernel cause it probably didn't go through

Yeah I figured I would need to do that. I mean I know how to do everything of that sort. I just wanted to make sure. I don't like twrp haha its weird I'll just stick to wcxrecovery. Also yesterday I tried going to the toolkits website but it seems as if its down
Sent from my SCH-I905 using xda premium

Yeah...wcx is a whole lot more stable than the others out there. No need to relock or anything, just fastboot flash the recovery in boot loader.

[Q]I need help flashing my LG Revolution

I have CWM 6.0.1.1 flashed on to my phone but when I tried to boot into recovery by turning of my phone and holding power and down and clearing the memory, but it just clears all the memory and is back to stock. Can I just boot into recovery with from app or do i need something else?

Rom tool box has an option to reboot to recovery, also you could 'adb reboot recovery' from a command line. But if you have tried to manually enter recovery and all it did was factory reset your phone then most likely you don't have cwm installed. Idk the why but some zips do some weird things when flashing and I am assuming something has loaded the stock recovery back on your revo. Just reinstall cwm and you should be good to go.
I would also check and see if you have root access.

Which way do you boot into recovery since it has obviously worked for you. I re-installed CWM and rooted.

If you're on the stock Rom, then you will need to use an app(quick boot, Rom toolbox) or manually like you have been. If done manually it will still ask you about wiping the system, just accept twice and it should boot into cwm. Brokenout has it built into the power off menu

I just reset everything and delete all the files in the clockworkmod folder and re-flashed and it booted into CWM. Thank you for your suggestions

I know I might be a little late but you can flash cwm 6.0.1.1 via clockwork mod Rom manager... And it is has setup to reboot into recovery.

Install cwm through CWM Rom manager>reboot into recovery> reboot system now> Rom may flash stock recovery. Fix this?> yes> reboot and tou should be good to go as far as setting up CWM recovery.

[How To] CWM Recovery

With the new boot loader unlock it comes time to use a recovery other than safe strap. The easiest way to flash a custom recovery, in this case, clockwordmod recovery, is to simply download ROM Manager and use it to flash the Motorola Photon Q version of CWM Recovery. I flashed it and booted into it and haven't experienced any problems as of yet so for those looking for a custom recovery straight out of the gate, this is for you.

Nice i don't know if i should try it or wait for an official one for our device. In the mean time back to my nexus 4
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

If you really want to give it a spin you can always flash the Photon Q version otherwise I'm sure there will be an official version ported soon

Dumb question...... if I uninstall ss and install cwm will I lose the current ROM im using?

You'll have to reinstall yes.

Dumb question part 2..... uninstall ss first and then install cwm? Also erase all ROM slots before uninstalling? Thanks!

Yea make sure to erase the rom slots. I forgot to and uninstalled then was missing quite a bit of space lol.

Have you flashed anything with it?

I haven't actually tried yet flashing a ROM but since I'm on stock and don't want to flash white yet I haven't had the opportunity, as long as its flashing to the device it should work with no problems

So far, i have installed the cwm for the photon q like you, and made a back up through it. Im going to see if it will restore from it as well. ill keep everyone updated.:good:
:edit: I sucessfully backed up my stock JB rom, wiped everything, and restored everything back and everythings perfect... I dont know what else to try before attempting to flash using the photon CWM. any ideas?

I uses the photon q recovery to backup & restore, and haven't had any issues yet. No ROM flashing for the time being, just haven't tried it yet.

Did you try to go back into CWM and wipe everything again after the boot loops? That sometimes helps when it is boot looping after an install.

I'm Stock Again, Restart always sent me to fastboot with a failed flash error, I could back out of it to the pizza ROM each time however I don't want to depend on my phone booting incorrectly so I used RSD and I'm stock again, I'm going to give it another try tonight.
UPDATE...Reflashed everything started over and everything works PERFECT Yippie!!! I'm very pleased!!!!

So what was your full procedure? I want to try this and try to install CM10 later.
From what I read, you installed the Photon Q CWM, installed Pizza through that, got boot loops, flashed back to stock, then installed Pizza again?

Fastboot was kicking errors and was boot looping into fastboot with firmware flash fail, I found however I could start into AOSPizza in DB mode (Safe Mode) , so I did that, charged up the phone 100% then used RSDLite and Reflashed Stock current firmware, it however does not re-lock the bootloader as some have mentioned might be the case in other post's, from there I started up the phone,turned on usb debug, used "motochopper" to root it, then installed Rom Manager from the market, flashed clockwork to device with the Photo Q CWM , copied AOSPixxaV1.zip ( The ROM ) and GappizzaV1.zip to the Phones internal storage not on the external SD memory card, from there went to clockwork mod on my atrix opened up the program and selected to reboot into recovery, went to the mounts and storage then select Mount System then go back then install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card, then scroll to your rom and select it and it will flash when its complete you will go back and go to reboot system now, it will ask you if you want to bypass stock recovery on boot select it and your phone will reboot into AOSPizza......Have Fun!
