Hi alll,
I have a rooted (i think) HTC Legend. I have completed step 1 of the root but had errors with step 2. Now I want to install clockwork rom manager so I can install azure.
But when i download azure using the rom manager app (and after flashing clockwork) it asks me to press OK for a reboot but nothing happens. I have also checked the recovery that I have and it is the one installed as part of the root.
I have tried downgrading the recovery to an older clockwork version, which works and then I installed the latest clockwork again, but i still have the recovery from the step 1 root.
How do i get clockwork recovery installed?
You mentioned errors with step 2.
Did you stick a freshly formatted SD into phone instead of goldcard??
Sent from my Legend
did you downgrade before rooting?
Check your root.
Install a terminal emulator from the Market, if you don't already have one.
Fire it up, type su. If you don't get an error about permissions, then you should have root.
E.E.
chances are, if it did not reboot your system, your not rooted...
Hi all,
Seems if I am having nearly the same problem. The Clockwork Recovery is always freezing when I try to install. So I downloaded the Terminal Emulator from the Market, but when I try to run: "Applikation Terminal Emu (Process com.android.term) has been closed unexpected. Please try again."
SuperUser Permission Reuest also doesn't work, there is happening just nothing when I try to start. Btw thats the same headline what I am having when freezing while installing clockwork recovery.
What went wrong while rooting? Can someone help please
I had some Problems with step2 btw .. because my Legend is the only hardware to get access to the SD Card. So i restarted the phone between step1 and step2, used it as harddrive just to format the SD Card agaein. The I jumped back and started and finished step2 just fine (thats what I thought )
so back when i had 1.5 on my hero i had no problem at all installing roms. so when i updated to 2.1 stock awhile back i tried to root it and install a rom on it with the command prompt and unevoked method. it got it rooted and when i got to the recovery menu i nanidroid backedup and wiped and installed it. it then got stuck on the htc boot screen so i tried different rom and still would hang on it. so i said screw it and stayed on stock. i then later used the unlock univeral to root it but i can not stand the stock rom it is so slow and lags so i tried the offiical htc update from .6 to .7 to see if it would be faster but once it downloaded and i pressed install it would yet again hang on the htc screen. i cant even make calls with out lagging. so i tried once more to install 2.2 on it with a recovery img. i download rom manger and put froyo on the sd card but it would yet again hang when i click install rom from sd card. what do i do?!!!!!
update: i tried doing it through the teminal but it say flash_recovery not found
so i tried to do it through rom manger and it did the back up and installed it through the recovery menu but once it was done and rebooted it yet again is stuck on the htc boot screen.
help please!
It might b the recovery ur using if your able to boot into any rom access terminal you can get it from the market try to flash a different recovery I recommend. Darchstar RA 1.6 once u download it place it on the root of ur SD card not in any folders / then open up terminal and type su once the # appears type flash_image recovery /sdcard/ recovery- name of recovery. img wen that's done type reboot recovery and you should boot into recovery then try and flash ur rom from there hope this helps good luck

I recommend you boot into recovery - wipe your system / cache / dalvik cache and then flash the 2.2 rom of your choice -
if you were just flashing rom after rom without flashing then that could be a lot of your troubles -
also - you mentioned that the recovery file was not found on your sdcard - did you remember to unzip it first before attempting to flash it through terminal emulator? because it wont work otherwise ...
if you have extracted it to the root of your sdcard you shouldnt have any trouble
type
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofyourrecovery.img
reboot recovery
and you should be good to go - let me know how you do and we'll see if we can't help you further if needed
good luck!

you said that you are doing this in a terminal window? (i am assuming that is on the phone) is your phone connected via usb to your computer? is the sdcard mounted by the computer? if it is unplug the usb and try again. if the computer has mounted the sdcard you can't access it from the phone.
i dont have it plugged in when i use the terminal on the phone

ok just checking.... that was the only thing that i could think of that would stop you from reading the sdcard.
It may sound silly, bt when I do it I always make sure I account for case sensitivity...
Like flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-Darchstar.img
Have you tried that?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yep make sure everything that has a capitals in it i capitalized in the terminal
this may sound silly as well.. sometimes when i use adb to push i mistype the location for example: adb push myfile.ext /adcard
everything goes fine until i go to find the file....
don't know though.
i still can't figure out how to install a custom rom.
Try backing up you sd and reformatting it on ur pc then just place the recovery img on your sd and nothing else then try to flash it good luck feel free to pm me I know how u feel man so if I can help I will good luck

I've read the guides, tried manual and the simple download from the Android Market. Here's what happens:
I've rooted my Thrill with SuperOneClick 2.1.1. It was a successful root from what I can tell, it added Superuser into my apps, and I was able to download Rom Manager from the Android Market.
If I try using Rom Manager and click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" It appears to install. But when I hit "Reboot into Recovery" it just reboots like normal.
If I try to manually get into recovery mode by holding volume down and the 3D button it just boots into the stock recovery mode.
When I try to manually install Clockwork and copy recovery.img to /data with cmd I get this:
failed to copy recovery.img permission denied

Thanks for any help, I'm hoping it's just a small little step I missed.

This is covered in the cwm thread in development section you need to use a file explorer that has root access and change permissions to the /data folder. You can use es file explorer, its free. Open it go into settings then browse as root... not really sure exact steps but they are in the came thread.
O my such a small step I missed! Thank you! Ill try this later today.
Permissions of /data are set to R/W but I still get the same error..
I'm starting to wonder if the cause of this is because I tried using Rom Manager to flash clockwork, THEN tried the adb method. Maybe it already being there is causing the permission denied?
edit: so it looks like it was as simple as me looking over the permissions and thinking I saw everything was checked, but really the two checks from the left under "other" were grayed out lol, checking those fixed it.
If you are new to rooting your phone, there are simple ways to go about getting clockwork mod onto your LG thrill
You can root it easily with the 1 click root tool (I dont have the link on hand) after installing the LG Drivers from the LG Website.
Then, Download Rootexplorer, Rom manager (which i think is installed with 1 click root along with superuser)
First thing, download the recovery.img here after installing ADB guide is located here
After downloading recovery image, go to your pc's user folder C:\users\yourname and move it to there, that way there is no mistaking its location for adb
Now, on your phone you first need to go into root explorer, go to the /data folder, long click and go to permissions and select all available boxes and also make sure your device is in R/W mode not R/O mode.
Run CMD as administrator and do the following:
adb push recovery.img /data
then type:
SU
(this makes superuser active)
then:
dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
then after clockwork is flashed to finalize the settings type:
rm /data/recovery.img
reboot
Presto, Clockwork Mod is installed, remember you can access the clockwork menu via rom manager menu, or 3D+Volume Down +Power releasing the power button when the LG screen appears.
I will soon post onto this, how to update to gingerbread just making sure it works well on my own first. also, working on ICS as well.
Hope this helps anyone who has had trouble with it!

i have install CWM by as your guide. but when i use Rom Manager to Back up , message pop up that install CWM first to complete this action. i am new to these things.
Thanks
I have my wife's LG Revolution running Broken Out rom. I am getting to read to send int to big read for a replacement. They made me state that I had made not hardware or software modifications. So I need to return this to stock. I have successively used LGNPST in the past. But now the USB port does not work in data mode. A computer will charge the phone, but the phone does not prompt for USB Mode when plugin to a computer. I have tried 2 computers and 2 different cables. All of which work for my LG revolution with out a problem.
Is there any way to remove Clock Work mode and switch it to the factory recovery, and return the rom to Stock without a working USB port?
I have a way of copying files to the SD card if needed.
Thanks.
I like this this guys thoroughness, though, not totally relevant for you. The following steps would pertain best in your situation.
1) wipe data, cache, davlik cache from CWM
2) When the phone initial setup begins, bypass it with this method. Touch top left, top right, bottom right, then lastly bottom left.
3) OPTIONAL - Erase external SD card from settings menu (if you thnk it's necessary... you may not be sending that back in)
4) format internal memory from settings menu
5) LGNPST flash stock V9. Get the V9 TOT here and unzip it first.
Flashing the TOT just took me 20 minutes.
Really, though, just flashing the TOT will suffice.
That's very neet, thank you. But can I use LGNPST without a usb cable? My usb port will only charge, no data.

Whoops. Missed that part. I was on a roll doing a TOT via USB myself. Maybe, if someone could wrangle you up a stock boot.img to flash in CWM after you unroot?

If someone who is running a stock rooted rom, v9 or later, wants to put up a backup I can rip the rom out of it and make a flashable zip. Just when making the backup, go into the backup settings of cwm and change it to tar.gz. Not the blob crap.
Mine phone is now rooted, stock and running ZVb. This one could be backed up and installed on my. Wife's phone with the bad usb port?
I should install cwm on mine to take a backup?

That would be awesome! To have at least the android part of the new update is better than nothing.
He still needs to find a way to remove cwm with out a pc?
I don't have clockwork on my stock + rooted Revolution. Can I use any rooted backup tool from the market/play store?
IF i have to use Clockwork mod recovery, can I just do a nandroid backup from the good phone the other phone? I have to take in to big red tomorrow.
Does anything need to be stripped out of the nandroid back?
I was just trying to think of another way to get you going. ADB Wireless sounded good up until the point that the SU part has to be removed. Then ADB Wireless would fail I'm sure.
My best guess for you is to use the Easy V8 - V9 All in One by Mark Once Again as a basis for commands to execute from terminal. I'm not sure if losing root during terminal will affect the operation however. Looking at the batch file adb shell commands, it looks fairly straightforward to manually do. I am just not 100% sure it will work. Someone else with more experience could chime in about that.
Below is what I copied out of the batch file, the UNROOTSTOCK portion.
The ALL CAPS portions are comments I have added in. The usual warnings apply. Use at your own risk.
Code:
rm /data/bootlogo/bootlogopid
ln -s /data /data/bootlogo/bootlogopid
REBOOT
echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
REBOOT
UNROOTING TIME
rm /system/bin/su
rm /system/xbin/su
rm /system/app/Superuser.apk
rm /system/xbin/busybox
rm /system/bin/busybox
rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null
USE A ROOT FILE EXPLORER APP TO COPY THIS Files\stockrecovery.img FROM THE EASY V8 - V9 ZIP. . .
TO HERE ON YOUR PHONE /data/local/tmp/stockrecovery.img
TIME TO PUSH THE STOCK RECOVERY
dd if=/data/local/tmp/stockrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null
CLEAN-UP TIME
rm /data/bootlogo/bootlogopid
rm /data/local.prop
REBOOT AND YOU'RE DONE!
Hope that helps, or that it spurs the help you need.
EDIT: To make it stock, all the superuser and busybox files need to be removed, and the stock boot image needs to replace the one that has CWM. Otherwise, CWM is still there. So, no. A nandroid from the other phone wouldn't help you.
But would a restored nandroird backup (from my phone) work enough to get me 1/2 way there? Would the nandroid restore leave me with
Rooted Verizon rom
Clockwork mod recovery.
If so. I could DD the stock recovery over clockwork mod recovery.
Then unroot it with a terminal app.
By the looks of your pseudo-code script, It does do all of that, in a different order.
It's possible to capture a stock, unmolested nandroid, but that would be from a bone stock phone with CWM I think. A dev did that for us on the Nabi 2, making a stock image before the rooting business. Then it's just getting the stock boot image back, if you catch my drift.
I could have done it a couple days ago having just reTOT'ed...
Edit: The Nabi is a tablet and I think some have shared their images, but I don't know if there are any implications sharing a phone nandroid.

I have two of these VS910s. I just cleared out my internal SDCard on my VS910. It's rooted running the newest verizon rom. It doesn't have CWM right now, but is that required for nandroid backup? To restore to my wife's with the busted USB port? I'll run the backup to my sdcard then place it in her phone to run the restore.
Needing CWM. . . no. I was going to say yes, but there is a way to make a nandroid with your phone on. Using Online Nandroid, or an app developed based on it, Orange Backup, you can make an image with your phone on, no need for CWM. It will need a patch file installed, but I already got that going with the dev. It looks like it will work for the Revolution. One caveat. While I tested that it successfully backed up my phone, I didn't actually restore the nandroid created.
Looking into the Nabi's stock backup during rooting and recovery, the dev used TWRP instead of CWM. TWRP supports Open Recovery Scripts which he used to do a stock backup. No go for us with CWM, at least not how he did it. No matter because your phone is rooted.
OK, so I installed CWM recovery on my working phone. No big deal. I took two backups for good measure on the bad phone. I also restored one of the backups, it seamed to work.
I am taking a backup of my rooted stock phone. I will then attempt to restore it to the bad phone. Any thoughts to using DD in a terminal app on the phone? I should then dd the recovery.img file over CWM,
To unroot, i think i shuld be able to do as you suggested to delete SU.apk and busybox.
Good luck. Dinner is served now so I'll be missing for a while.

We have stupid verizon 4G LTE boot video on the bad phone. That's a good sign.
Edit: Its running a VZW rom now!
home stretch
Ok, so after restoring a Nandroid backup of verizon's VZB to the bad phone. Now I need to un-root it. and I should be good. Also, Settings -> about says its version VZ9 not VZB. Odd.
Plan.
Add my google account to get to play store.
Add a terminal app.
Use terminal to delete any nandroid backups.
Run DD from terminal to overwrite CWM with recovery,img
delete rooted files.
Run factory wipe. from settings menu or PWR + Vol Down.
Then I should be done
Any thoughts.?
Seems about right. The version won't tick up from VZ9 unless you do the actual OTA I understand. Something about the baseband.
