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.

I have milestone with android 2.1 (original from motorola). I wanted to install MIUI. So I got Rom Manager and it installed CWM on my device, when I tried to reboot to recovery, original recovery appeared (with picture phone triangle), I want to backup my data, but the phone reboots to original recovery and backyp didn't appeared, and Rom Manager don't see it. I tried it with 2 methods of root: Universal Androot and SuperOneClick, they doesn't work. Idk what to else, but I won't try to Install Rom, I don't want to get UNSEEN CONSEQUENCES (gman, lol).
clockworkmod recovery doesnt work in milestone, correct me if it is wrong
you need to install OR 1.46 or AOR 3.3
You will need
Usb cable
VR sbf for your bootloader version, mine is 90.78
Rsdlite 5.0
OR zip extracted to root of sd card
Please search the guide here

Rom Manager created update.zip file, maybe I will apply it with original recovery? (i mean "apply: update.zip"), or I'm going to Brick my device?
that'll definately NOT work!
most likely you will brick your device with this.
as suggested by tomcheng install OpenRecovery or Androidiani OR.
EDIT: as you own a milestone, forget about RomManager because it isn't compatible with your device.
Can someone please give me a step by step guide to flash a custom rom?

I Followed this guide, but it does not show my phone? I have the LG revoution I want to use this custom rom from hhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210041 ((Rom][9-19-11]Revolt Rom 1.5)but I can't seem to get it. I've put it on my SD Card, but the Rom Manager just won't work. Can someone please help me?
Plus on the settings app -> SD cards and phone storage settings
It shows SD Card: Total space unavailable Available space: unavailable
Interanal same thing
How do i fix this?
Your link to the ROM is broken. What ROM are you trying to use? Revolt?
Have you rooted your phone and installed the recovery software?
If you have a stock phone, it is on V6, and you will need to downgrade to V4 before you can root the phone and install a custom ROM. You can do that by following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211295 (To register the DLL, open a CMD as administrator, then type 'regsvr32.exe "C:\LGElectronics\LGNPST\MOdels\VS910.dll" ')
After that you will need to root your phone, Superoneclick is one of the ways to do it. The newest version didn't work for me, but version 1.6.3 did.
Then you need to install a recovery program, the easiest way is with RevoToolKit. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144951
Then you can reboot into recovery and install a custom ROM. Of course it's probably a good idea to back up your current system first.

I have rooted my phone, and what do you mean recovery software? And i fixed the ROM.
Clockworkmod is the recovery software, that's what installs the ROM. You have to reboot into recovery in order to access it.

I have ROM Manager From Clockworkmod, but the thing is when i try to flash my ROM it asks me to verify my phone model, but it shows a bunch of tablet models and doesnt have the lg revolution?
Rom Manager doesn't work with the revolution yet. Use the revotoolkit to install the version of clockwork that thecubed ported over, and then you'll be able to flash revolt 1.5

Took me a while to get that figured out, too... some trial and error finally got it so I could boot CWM into recovery mode, then installed the Revolt mod from the zip file. All seems to be going well now
Hi there, after rooting my phone with the "DoomLord's via Zergrush Exploit" , and after installing rom manager and flashing clockworkmod. I just can't access it.
If I load into the bootloader and click recovery, I get an image with a ! sign and a picture of an android, the same happens when I load recovery through rom manager. I have flashed the recovery twice now and my phone's just not having it. My phone works no problem, I just dont understand it
All I want to do is to make a backup and install a custom rom
Am I doing somthing wrong?
(Yes, my bootloader is locked BTW)
Very simple - you didn't flash the recovery properly, so you're getting to stock recovery.
Yup like Jack_R1 stated, the flash didn't stick or you didn't do it right.
Open Rom Manager, at the top it will tell you what recovery you have.
Does it show anything?
You could also try adb if you have that setup
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide#Installing_a_Custom_Recovery_Image
You could even install it via terminal on your phone
Heck try this recovery, it's good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291970
Try THIS. Install the application and it will install the best recovery
Rom manager tells me that i have clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
I'll try installing the recovery through terminal when i get back to my pc
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
EDIT: Having seen the other recovery you've stated, i'll try and install that.
Also, does it matter about which version of android i'm running? could that result of a bad install of the recovery through clockworkmod?
Its 2.3.4 stock rom if anyone's intrested
FINAL EDIT:
Thank you!
4EXT flashed perfectly, after using the app to reboot into the bootloader, it loaded up that. Many thanks!
Hi,
After some help please, I am trying to upgrade from android 2.1 to gingerbread.
I have managed to get root access on my Samsung galaxy S i9000. I did this using the 'Galaxy S I9000 One-Click Root.exe' tool.
Then I installed Rom Manager via an .apk install (couldn't find the free version in the market for some reason).
After this I downloaded the busybox installer/updater and updated busybox to the latest version available.
Now I am having problems as when I run rom manager and try to run 'Flash Clockworkmod recovery' it goes through the process and when I reboot into recovery (using rom manager as I can't get into recovery using three button combo) it doesn't have the CWM recovery its just the standard one.
Also if I try to backup current rom (thinking this is a nandroid backup?) it reboots into recovery and just sits there and doesn't do anything.
Can someone please help, tried doing lots of research but am getting very confused as to what to do next.
Thanks in advance.
Boost. Haven't you heard....its the new bump!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Check Ramads stock collection:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
1.) Backup /efs folder
2.) Check that USB driver is working OK when connecting SGS to Windows in download mode
(no? - disconnect, find drivers, download, install)
Yes? :
3.) Flash in download mode using Odin + 512.pit + 2.3.x ROM + Sbl
You must use ROM with Sbl.bin = 2.3.x bootloader when going 2.1 -> 2.3
If no download mode by pressing (vol- home pwr), use XDA search for this fix.

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I have now managed to successfully fix the three button combo issue so can get into download mode and have backup my efs folder.
Before I flash I would like to do a nandroid backup. I installed rom manager but still can't get CWM to install sucessfully. It says download successful when run from the rom manager option (flash CWM recovery) but when the phone reboots the CWM isn't there is just the stock options. Any ideas as to why this is or how to fix?
Many thanks in advance.
I have sorted my nandroid backup. I didn't realise that once you downloaded the CWM you had to do a manual install from stock recovery using the update.zip. Soon as i did this it was ok.
Now going to flash using odin v1.82 + 512.pit and Gingerbread 2.3.5 europe rom GT_I9000_XFJVA_XXJVT_OXFJV1_Sbl
Will make sure re-partition is checked.
Hopefully all will go well. Will post update after update.

For flashing a stock rom follow this video guide : Stock ROM Flashing
For flashing a custom rom follow any one this video guide: Custom ROM Flashing
HI,
I have now sucessfully upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.5 europe rom GT_I9000_XFJVA_XXJVT_OXFJV1_Sbl
the problem I'm having now is when someone calls the screen just goes black (it doesn't turn off) and I can't answer the call. Also when the call ends there is no record of it in the missed calls so i can'e even see who it was who was calling.
Please help asap as I cant answer any calls or ring them back to tell them.
Thanks
All ok now. I did a factory reset which has sorted it. Phew! lol
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.
