Does anyone know why we can't reboot into recovery in ICS ROMs? Seems there is no moboot.next file in /boot, I am assuming it has something to dot with it. Used to work in CM7 for clockwork mod recovery. I would love to save the extra step where we are forced to choose it from moboot or else it boots the ROM.

I'm pretty sure there's an extended power menu in the xron ICS rom (i.e. classicnerd) but I honestly didn't try to boot from recovery when I used their rom, so I don't know if it actually works!
Ya, it doesn't work though. Even if you were to try rebooting from recovery using ROM Manager or ROM Toolbox, still won't. It worked in Xron 2.9.1 whichever way you want to do it. Not sure what's different about CM9.
Fixed in CM A0.6

I've tried to look everywhere for info on this issue and the closest I got was in the developers thread where someone was going to flash from Fresh 2.4 to CM 6. Apologies if I'm completely dense here.
There seem to be tons of ins-and-outs that I'm not yet hip to like hboot versions and clockwork vs fastboot and etc.
I am running Fresh 2.4 and I'm getting the "Low on space" trouble that others have noted. I downloaded cyanogen 7.0.3 to my SD and installed ROM Manager. I am able to boot to ClockworkMod and can select the zip to install from. After CM installs I reboot and can't get past the boot screen. (As a side note, I notice the videos all have a white background with black HTC while my boot is gray HTC on black background.)
Is there something I'm missing? The only thought I had was to revert back to completely stock ROM and try to start all over again. Thanks!
1. Are you using any other mods/tweaks - Firerat's, Data2ext or such?
2. Did you wipe everything before flashing CM? Or what steps did you take before flashing CM?

1) no other tweaks. Just put Fresh 2.4 on and started using it.
2) In the ROM Manager I backed up after flashing to ClockworkMod. I've used that backup to get my phone working again. I also checked the boxes to wipe everything as I told it to install cyanogen from the SD card. I've also tried booting to recovery manually and scrolling to wipe/restore to factory before trying to install cyanogen from zip.
Make sure you wipe EVERYTHING

From manual recovery (power + volume down -> home button) I "wipe data/factory reset" and I "wipe cache partition". I also "wipe dalvik cache" and "wipe battery stats" in the advanced menu.
I still get a persistent gray HTC text on black background boot screen.

Redownload cm7 again. Could be a bad dl. Especially over 3g it could go bad so try wifi. Or try aosp's 2.3.4. Its a very stable rom with less cm bloat but still has it's features.
Also don't flash through the rom manager clockwork app. Doing everything from the recovery works better IMO. My guess is that's why it failed. Because you flashed it through the app and not in recovery. In the recovery it's says install zip from sdcard. Select that and find your cm download and load it there. Then your gapps. Bet it'll work after that.
If it doesn't load or doesn't boot up after that then its your clockwork recovery. In the manual recovery at the top it'll say what version your using. The latest is 2.0.5.7 I think. Personally I use a different recovery but for your use the latest will work just fine.

I've downloaded 7.0.3 twice and also 7.0.0 just for fun. All through my home internet onto a macbook pro and transferred via USB to the SD card.
I'll try again and make sure to only use the manual recovery. Also, thanks for the aosp suggestion!
It's a no-go on everything.
Formatted boot, system, data, and cache. Wiped dalvik cache and battery stats. Tried to install a fresh copy of CM7 and also tried AOSP 2.3.4 with same steps.
The only thing that doesn't stall at the boot screen is my backup.
There must be something about versions that is wrong here. Something isn't playing nice.
Excuse me sir. Don't mean to but in here. But I think you missed the part were matt suggested you reflash your recovery. Its good advice. Whatever your current recovery is try reflashing it, repeat the necessary wipes and flash your rom of choice. You can reflash your recovery threw adb or if your s-off threw an hercimg.zip or if you have a nand you can boot into you can do it threw terminal or rom manger.
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
Personally I bootload to flash any recovery but also I'm s-off. Its extremely easy and all you have to do is rename the file and move it to the root of the SD card. Using terminal emulator is also very easy if your not s-off. If your still unsure about some of this just keep asking us. More than willing to help. Here ill make it a little easier. Go find the s-off thread and make it happen. Ill throw you my renamed version of green lantern recovery. Trust me it works perfect. Still clockwork. Just different. Then all youll have to do is bootload the recovery then reboot to recovery. And you already know how to do that.
1st go to that s-off link
Dropbox link to greenlantern
http://db.tt/ORAwPdX
The file is named
greenlanternHERCIMG.zip, just delete the greenlatern part and it's good to go.
Heres the s-off thread. All you need is the zip in the bottom of the op. Then flash it through manual recovery as always now
Get the recovery working first then we can help fix the flashing rom if it continues

How do i flash a rom? I see there is an AmonRa recovery for the Droid Eris that doesn't require a trackball....is there something similar for the Nexus One?!
My current rom doesn't let me add an account, the trackball doesn't work and the home button and search button are a little weird.
I need help! x/

You'll need the trackball for Amon Ra and CWM too IIRC.
i figured it out!
download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291970
it installs an app that will install recovery and also allow you to create a script to run in recovery.
so if your trackball doesn't work, you don't have to select anything in recovery, just do everything from within android itself.
be sure to go through the options and allow SUPERWIPE to be included in the options. it's the best route because you can't wipe DATA 3 times with this method!
If you are already rooted, ROM Manager lets you boot directly into the recovery!
If you are running a modded ROM right now, the power off menu will have an option where you can boot in recovery too

The problem is once you get into recovery, you need to use the trackball to select your items. His trackball isn't working.
ROM manager actually lets you do pretty much everything from within the booted OS. You can download and flash ROMs, change recoveries, make and restore from backups, etc.
I don't think you can do custom kernels (i.e. something other than what comes with whatever ROM you choose)...but actually, you might be able to. If you choose "Install ROM from SD card," it will let you choose any zip file. I don't know if it performs a check to see if the zip file is a rom or not, but if this menu entry merely tells CWM (the recovery) to install that zip file, you're good on ROMs too.
Samsung Captivate
GB 2.3.7
Cyanogen 7.1.0
Interested in flashing Cyanogen Nightly Builds in hopes of fixing a few bugs, so I used ROM Manager to try to backup current rom.
I get a message saying I must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing, and that I can install it through ROM Manager.
When I click install and choose Samsung Captivate from the drop-down menu, I get a message saying Samsung Captivate does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet.
What’s my next move?
First, Uninstall ROM manager it hasn't really worked since Android 2.1
So...you're on cm7.1 now? Just hold the power button and boot into recovery.... "backup and restore" is the section you're gonna use to make a nandroid.
If you're on stock you'll need to flash a custom kernel using Odin to get cwm before you can flash anything.
Thanks
Yeah, forgot about the issues I had with Rom Manager and Captivate while I was trying to flash cm7. It is now uninstalled. Also, didn't realize "backup" was an option in recovery menu. Finished with that part. Still not sure if flashing cm7 nightly builds is the way to go. Unclear about what I may lose in the process. Still reading up on it. Thanks again.

You won't lose anything, and it's the way to go. Flash ahead.
So reboot into recovery, choose install from sd card, find the file and flash it? Seems straight forward enough. Thanks

Yes, exactly like that. Additionally, it's always a good idea to do a nandroid in case anything goes wrong
Sent from my CM9 ICS i897 Captivate
OK. Done. Everything looks the same. Time will tell if any of the minor problems I was having have been fixed.
On another note, Rom Manager mysteriously reappeared among my apps. If Rom Manager doesn't support Captivate, why is it included in cm7 nightly builds? Also, can't figure out how to uninstall it like I did previously. I guess it's not hurting anything, just sitting there.
Never mind. I see how to uninstall it using Titanium.
hi, i have tried to instal cm9 with latest nightly. it does boot to moboot however cm9 does not appear in the options to boot?
should i just go into clockwork and install from zip?
thanks for any help

As long as you can get into cwm, go ahead and flash 'install from zip'. I assume you have backups, if not, make one asap......

cwm will make a backup which you can then restore. I also use titanium backup. Also, read as much as you can here in the forum, it's one of the best ways to learn.

you might want to acmeuninstall, then do a fresh install from scratch.

Well guys this is my first time on the forums. My phone is rendered near useless right now. A few days ago, i rooted my phone via towelroot. as a friend reccomended, i installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery. I backed up my stock, perfect ROM with CWM and decided to try installing cyanogenmod 10.3.1......... it wouldn't install. I even tried other apps like ROM installer. Then i came across the handy dandy Cyanogenmod Installer. This seemed great, i didn't have to do anything except click a few buttons on my PC. as i was ready to enjoy a new custom ROM, the following message popped up, "Root access possibly lost. Fix?". I was given the options of "No" and "Yes - Fix root (/system/xbin/su)". i chose the second one, and waited for my device to boot. when it did, it was stock Touchwiz Android version 4.4.2, just like i had initially. what's more is my imei and bandwidth version were both "unknown" and i my sim card was undetected. I decided that technology had gotten the better of my and i tried to flash my old stock ROM back on. i found the file in recovery mode but it kept saying "no files found" whenever i clicked on it. I tried the cyanogenmod installer again, this time choosing "No", resulting in exactly the same scenario. At this point, I would be fine having the stock ROM since i have had such bad luck with the "developer's world" of Android.......... PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Have you tried installing some other recovery, like TWRP? You won't be able to install CM from it, but you should be able to install other roms.

follow the guide and replace your recovery easily. after flashing, what recovery you have flashed will be default recovery, i recommend philz, they are all downloadable in the guide

it´s the best if you also do a format of internal sd in recovery before changing the recovery, because sometimes there are some folders left of it in interrnal memory and you cant delete it, do that if this will be the case. but i think Philz and CWM use same folder, so if you flash philz it will be okay if im correct otherwise you can always format internal sd afterwards
Edit: dont use rom manager for recovery actions, use recovery itself, much more reliable
