[Q] Rom Manager no clockworkmod recovery

I have thoroughly restored and master cleared my phone twice now. I root it, install Rom Manager and then attempt to install Clockworkmod Recovery and every time I get "Error while downloading from server". Are they down or something?

same story here, I even gave them the $5 and now it cannot even install the clockwork mod What is going on here?!

I believe the server is down for the clockwork mod file that rom manager downloads from. I attached the file that I downloaded from another post.

Thank you,
Thats got it

No change.

This didn't change anything for me. Installed via recovery menu. Did I do something wrong?

Once you put the update.zip on your internal SD card , reboot to recovery and select "reinstall packages"...............you are in ClockworkMod Recovery

Had the same problem wit the server and can confirm it worked with the update.zip in the post AND the double install(you dont need to reboot again just hit install packets againg).
Thx

I can also confirm that this worked as well. I am rooting my bosses phone(captivate) and clockwork was giving me "server" issues when flashing the recovery. Put the update.zip on the sd card, booted to recovery and ran the update, I am flashing clockwork as we speak! Thanks, this forum never lets me down!

IF YOU ARE ON CWM:
Just got an Android 2.3.1 update for Nexus S. It's on ROM manager if you want it. Make sure you flash recovery 3.0.

Also, for this to work you must be on Stock Recovery. This will not flash properly if you are using clockwork recovery

Correct. Koush is currently looking at fixing this for CWM.

Can we try to update and flash the zip using adb?

This was just tweeted:

edit nevermind got update

I just got prompted OTA for this update. Anyone know it I was to accept it, would I have any problems since I changed my recovery to ClockWork recovery?
I know it's been said it's on rom manager now, I am just curious if there would be any potential problems of accepting OTA updates with the stock recovery gone.

I have cwm recovery flashed and looked in Rom manager but is getting that "the rom you are using does not support ota updates etc" How did you manage to get Rom manager to update it to GRH78??

ive tried every way listed on xda but still get a "error 7" when trying to flash the update. i am using stock rom with clockwork 3.0. anyone having the same issue or any way to fix it?

usb disabled?
Got the message from Google to update. So I let it do its thing, said unable to update zip and now seems my usb connection is broken. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm on NS despite my sig Also on CWR 3.0 unlocked

are we supposed to be able to install this 2.3.1 update that we download from rom manager?

Well there is very little info in OP
and could be worded little better to avoid confusion
You have to put on Wifi and go to download ROM for some reason if you on on mobile network it wont show the update in rom manager
Dont bother it wont. From what i gathered we have to wait for modified version

Download the zip, choose to open with rom manager and it will flash fine with cw recovery 3.0.0.

Got great news! I got it to work! All I did was put the .zip file on the root of my sd and used Rom manager to "download rom" chose the .zip file and voila!! It installed everything fine. I am officially on GRH78. Hope that helps people out!

is this with the paid version or non-paid?

the CWM update will work of you have not used Koush's rooboot.img and are running a the rooted boot.img.
He said he will release a version later tonight that should work with rootbootimg installed as well.

glad im on stock recovery + root.

[Q] Flash custom rom without custom recovery? possible?

Hi!
I've succesfully rootet my SGS. testet wtih terminal, and i got the # sign.
Also, I have suoer users installed, and granted access to ROM manager, e.g.
Now, I would like to flash darky's custom ROM. And usually, i would boot into custom recovery menu and wipe, and apply zip from sd. (this was on my HTC).
Well, this is causing me some problems. I would rather not use Odin, as it seem a bit unsafe but I installed ROM manager, and flashed Clockwork Mod recovery. Now, when I reboot into custom recovery I get the stock android recovery, though ROM manager, says my current version of clowckwork mod is installed, and all went succesfull.
Now, my question is. Can i rename the zip file update.zip and flash with the stock android recovery anyway?

When you flash clockwork i think it just puts a .zip file on the sd card so youbshould try flashing the custom recovery through stock recovery. If not then ODIN is the way to go which can be perfectly safe if done properly.
*You have to select reinstall packages i think.

I never get into clockwork mod, so I guess I dont get the option to reinstall packages... The only option I have beside wiping and reboot is to apply update.zip from sdcard in android recovery. But I don't think there is any update.zip on my sdcard. not last i checked at least. Guess Ill have to go with Odin then :/

Usually the option to reinstall packages is on stock recovery. I might be wrong but odin is easy to do if you get the right firmware for your phone. Sorry i ciuldnt help more.

Thanks again. I get wiser by the hour
I think im on android recovery (3e) as I recall, perhaps they removed it
I was wandering. I found the clockworkmod.zip /recovery_update.zip on the sd-card. if I move this to root of sdcard and rename to update.zip, can I then flash it via android recovery with the "apply update.zip from sdcard" function, or is this not for the purpose?

That might work, you may aswell try butif not try looking at the url i posted and see if it helps. If not then im sorry for wasting your time :S

thanks, but i think Im caught in between... i cant choose reinstall packages, and I need to get back to stock kernel...
got download mode to work now, and think I know what to do from here. thanks for the link and response

Finally - reverted back to stock android recovery 2e and flash clockworkmod recovery.... but - a new problem... when in clockworkmod, i need to choose zip from sd card, when i go into this, and choose external sd, it says no files
what to do? the files are there, when I put in the sd card in the PC the files are there...

Not entirely sure but i think you're meant to put the .zip on the internal sd. If not then maybe the sd card is not fat32 format. This is only speculation :S

stock rom (rooted)

This is a clockworkmod back up of the Hero_C_Sprint_2-1.27.651.5_R mod!! I rooted then made this recovery. For anybody that doesn't want to go through the load of @#$% I had to go through to update my prl. Just unzip and put in the clockworkmod/backup folder on your sd card then you can install it from Rom manager or recovery.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22765899/stock.zip

Shows error code 404.

Sorry about that didn't realize it would take that long to upload to dropbox. Should be good now.

You don't flash it. You need to restore it - it's a nandroid backup, not a ROM.

Sorry, I'm new to this. I did download ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 using Method I, don't know if I did it correct. Did not see anything different then, don't know if I was supposed to. I did unzip your stock.zip but don't see the clockworkmod/backup folder. Do I use Rom Manage to install from Recovery. Hopefully only one last question, do you have the RUU 1.56.651.1. That is what was original on my phone and where I want to end up. I really appreciate all the help. I'll never upgrade again without thorough research. This has been a nightmare.

If you don't see the clockworkmod/backup folder on your SD card, trying backing up your current ROM first. That will create the folder if it doesn't exist. Then you put the unzipped files from stock.zip under the backup folder. Open ROM Manager, select Manage and Restore Backups, and then select the folder with those unzipped files.

do you lose root if you do this to update the prl?

He says it's rooted, so you shouldn't.

You won't lose root if you use it to update prl and profile, just don't click on update software. Then the software patch could revert you to stock.

updating twrp?

First off I'd like to apologise if this is the wrong forum.
I'm using an old version of twrp on my i9305, 2.3.3.0 to be exact, and I would like to update it to the newest version but I'm not sure how. I've looked on their website and just found it confusing; goomanager isnt supported, it couldn't find the file when I tried using terminal emulator and I couldn't get a response from odin for some reason.
So what's the easiest way to update it for a newb like me to update it?
I believe I used the s3 toolkit last time but I'm not sure which phone to select because I'm using sentinalrom and all the options seemed to be for stock phones. No option for 4.3 phones.

Web site downloads and either cwm zip or Odin tar file .

Sorry for the stupid question but I've downloaded the cwm zip and was wondering whether I have to install cwm or can I flash it using twrp?

I've read the FAQs and can't find anything relating to this. Hence the reason I asked.
Thanks for the useful post though.

The basics would show that cwm is a recovery and twrp is a recovery . You flash through recovery .
So you have more than one copy of your EFS folder backed up good .

OK that is one solution.
But I don't have "mobile Odin"...
how can I convert the TWRP IMG or TAR into a flashable ZIP?
Or can anyone confirm what the correct ADB command is? (I don't think the command from TWRP is correct)
thanks

Here you can find a download for twrp.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46874790

I wish it was this easy. Every time I try using mobile Odin it crashes, says settings stopped and boots into TWRP... I presume this isn't meant to happen at least?
I think I'll just have to give up. I've tried everything and nothing works for me.

I decided to give it one last try with Odin on my pc and I dont know why but it worked!!! I have no idea why it didn't before, perhaps it was a corrupted file but that doesn't explain why none of the other ways worked either. But the main thing is I'm now running the latest version.
Thanks for all your help everyone.

I needn't have bothered tbh. The only reason I wanted to update the recovery was because most roms wont install on my phone, which is the main reason I'm using sentinelrom, and I had hoped it was because I was using an old recovery but they still wont install.
This phone really is crap. I didn't have any of these troubles with my old x10. It might not have had the power of the s3 but I could flash things at least.

there are two kind of files you can download from the goo
the img file and zip file
the img file is for download mode and the zip file is for recovery mode
you can use mobile ordin or ordin in PC to flash the img file，or use the old version TWRP to flash the new version in recovery mode

Flashify is another way to update TWRP after downloading the recovery .img manually on your phone. Just be sure to install the right one for your device.
