Hi out there,
A friend of mine has got a milestone (gsm) and problems with flashing recovery and custom rom.
he says he has got root, but when he tries to flash recovery it says "no root rights" (via root console with su). moreover, his recovery is a .zip and not a .img which i was used to (am a htc hero owner). through not having custom recovery, he cant install custom roms, seems like no root on boot.
anyone can help? as the procedure on htc hero seems to be completely different i cant help him, will give him this link so he can see
thank you,

You have everything you need to know. Just ask your friend to go thru.

So I am planning on to try the Bugless Beast on the wife's Moto Droid. The phone is rooted and holding root. I flash CWM via rom manager and it boots into CWM. HOWEVER !! If I re-boot the phone and then power it down and go back into recovery, it is back to stock recovery and not CWM.
How to permanently install CWM as doing it via rom manager seems to be a temporary flash? Odd ...
I'd hate to get half way through a rom flash and have it puke and be stuck with stock recovery !! Is there a link to a zip file copy of CWM I can flash onto the phone?
What am I missing here?

Hello XDA,
I need your help! I'm trying to upgrade my Bionic to ROM Eclipse 3.0. My Android version is 2.3.4 and 5.9.905.XT875. It's currently rooted via this method, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810373) using moto-fail GB. Next, I'm following these steps to load the Eclipse ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327695) but I'm stuck. I have the ROM on my SD card and I'm supposed to use Droid Bootstrap to "Reboot Recovery" and wipe data, and install the new ROM. I'm aware that there are 3 bootstrap apks available?. I've used Droid X Bootstrapper by Koush, Droid 2 Bootstrapper by Koush, and System Recovery by Tenfar. Koush's Boostrappers restart my android and does not bring me into recovery mode. It boots like normal. Tenfar's Bootstrapper reboots me into the splash loading screen and it freezes there. I have to do a battery pull reset to get back into my phone. I have unknown sources and USB debugging checked under applications. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR; Can't get into recovery mode via bootstrapper to load new ROM.
If you go to eclipserom.com under the bionic section nitro has his own recovery apk. Try that.

Thanks. It worked. I'm loving eclipse so far. Fast and smooth.
hi, i have a problem.
i installed xt883 (the chinese rom) on droid 3. so far so good but i really need to get recovery working. i got rom manager and i flashed clockmod 5020. but i cant seem to boot to recovery no matter what.
i tried this > flash clockmod 5020 via rom manager > use D3 bootstrap > D3 reboot recovery.
it didnt work. i also tried rebooting from rom manager. that doesnt work either. please help.
btw, i am rooted. i also have the clockwork mod as a zip file. can i install zip file using terminal? i was looking for some kind of img file so i can flash it via fastboot .
my last option is gonna be using SBF and try rom manager again. :\
thanks for help guys.
i was missing busybox files. need to install busybox before using strappers.
hope this helps someone.
Hey all,
I've been searching all over for the solution to this problem and I haven't been able to find any sort of solution and all my attempts to google have been in vain. I've been having problems installing any rom from clockworkmod. I have a droid bionic with the system version, 98.72.22.XT875 the android version is 4.1.2. So I was originally trying to get the pacman rom on my phone. I flashed a clean jellybean rom from RSD and then I used bootstrap and rom manager to flash clockworkmod recovery. However every time I tried to install the pacman rom I get an error that says something similar to E: system cant find *blank* file. When I reboot my system after this the phone says that I've lost encryption and it wont allow me to access the phone anymore. So I tried downloading the cryogen mod off of rom manager and I had the same problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
You cannot use bootstrap with the jellybean firmware on a bionic, you must use safestrap. It is the only currently working recovery.
Clockworkmod doesn't work either (as far as I know.. Is there even a build for the bionic?)
Clean again with an fxz, root, install safestrap app, install recovery through the app, reboot to safestrap, create a ROM slot, install your ROM to that slot, and all should be good.
(The reason your attempts were in vain is because the boot loader is locked, thus some boot-time patching and workarounds must be done)

Safe strap works great. Boot manager is supposed to work also, haven't tried it yet.
