Out of things you point out, by one you mean ability to format different partitions e.g. we can format ext partition only?

Secondly, will it restore previous Nand backups correctly ?

And what do you mean by amend scripts? Sorry I am not an IT Guy.

And what exactly is clockworkmod?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mik_os:
Yes.

No. Added this info in first post.

There info in first post. This is just old style commands in update packages. (but some modders still use it)

Recovery mod created in CyanogenMod project.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Just saw you have already explained amend in first post.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] hell1134:
So..just to get it right ( and avoid bricking my phone )...to install the above CWM, I boot into my current amonra recovery (1.1) and flash this zip which will replace amonra with cwm ?

thanks in advance...
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
If we want to revert back to the old one, will we have to follow the same procedure that we followed while installing original amonRa?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
That's what the instructions say!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mik_os:
I can create same zip package for AmonRa if someone want to go back ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sarfaraz1989:
Cool man thanx for the post...One question somewhere u mentioned that this recovery can work on amend scripts i think that means we can flash currently posted ROMS (ones that use AMon ra) and then take their backups using this CWM if necessary...AM i right ??? Can i flash LOLv1.2 with this recovery ??
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
No you can't, this recovery DON'T support Amend wich is used in LOL rom.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mik_os:
In theory - yes, but would it to be too difficult for every day usage?

If you can find update-binary in META-INF folder in zip so yes.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lerkin:
Thank you for your great work, and YES, please create a zip package...!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
It would be very appreciated :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] bharathbala2003:
I don't think you can flash them.. this was an issue i faced when flashing themes created from UOT they needed the update-binary and i was using megatron at that time which didn't have.. so i couldn't even do the workaround until uot gave the option to cook it for such roms in their v4.0

So as far as i ve seen neither of noejn's rom have the update-binary so beware before you flash cwm :) btw mik nice work.. works like a charm
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
What benefits will be get if he does this? will it be easy to apply updates only instead of flashing whole rom again.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
And one more thing what is in there in cm 7.0.3?Any special features?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] kokesh:
For some reason, it refuses to flash CM7 6.4.2 zip from my new Kingston (for sure genuine) 8GB SD Card. It reports error "(bad)" for the zip file. Any ideas? It works with my old 4gb card.

hmmm???

hey guys and gals i followed this guide to install a recovery.

http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html

everything went ok but how can i flash clockwork recovery ? i put the zip on sd and flashed via my recovery but when i wanted to flash a rom a massive error came up and wouldn't let me do anything so i flashed the original recovery again but want clockwork :-(

help please

Cheers.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 4silvertooth:
Which rom are u flashing.. nassy, is not compatible with cloakwork.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
this might help you:

In my point of view amonra is good for backups. For installing a rom clockwork is better, if the rom supports. In amonra you need to flash format zip file if you want to format the system. In clockwork there is an option under mounts to format system. Clockwork is also able to format sd ext only. In amonra there is no such option separately. Currently not all the roms are flashable with clockwork. But you can flash almost all roms with amonra. You can try both and experience the both. But I would say currently you can use amonra 1.2 given in miKs thread. The latest 2.2.1 does not wipe ext4.

But in future, as all roms provide support of flash via clockwork and its integration with rom manager, this would be more attractive.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ryanraven:
i will be flashing Cyanogen rom :-) im not sure how to flash clockwork mod not that i have RA Vortex 2.2.1 custom recovery.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shhbz:
just place the zip in ursd and choose flash zip from sd ,reboot done!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shhbz:
truely all rom doesnt suport flashing from clockwork so just check the rom if it support clockwork or not before flashing as for me i am happy with clockwork AND WAITING FOR UPDATED CLOCKWORK WHICH WILL SOON BE POSTED HERE
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mik_os:
Now you can flash/update recovery from Rom Manager!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
Great news Mik!!! Just tested and works flawlessly. Now I got Clockworkmod v3.1.0.0.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Bytecode:
So,let me think about it. Now we have official ClockworkMod recovery support via ROM Manager? Great!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
Is there any official clockwork recovery thread where I can get more details on this new version? I have tried google. Wasn't much help.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shhbz:
from where u got the updated recovery v3.1.0.0 link please

edited:got it working didnt try to update recovery before
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
I think u have flash it using ROM Manger. Look at me (Newbie) giving replies to the experienced members of the forum:p

jokes apart thanks............
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Joel Chan:
So ROM Manager supports Optimus One? Why is it that my app still says no official recovery found.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] r291:
Using the latest build from mik (6.5). ROM Manager is downloading the recovery after I selected Optimus One (Yea!) from the list. Will update after (hopefully) a successful install.

EDIT: Yup. works. 3.1 now.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shhbz:
enable internet conn or wifi and try again after a reboot
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
Finally got recovery on my phone. But got that damned "E:Bad Boot message" message at the bottom. Does everyone have that? Any way to get rid of it?

@shhbz

Guess its time to update ur newbie guide now.

Edit: Also I can't get the other features of the ROM Manger to work. For e.g. I tried to make a Nandroid backup from the ROM Manager. It confirmed the name for the backup file and then rebooted into the recovery. After that it did nothing. I had to manually do the backup in recovery. Is that normal or is that a bug? I thought it was suppose to take the backup on its own without any manual intervention after reboot.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] xuso:
Official support!! Great mik,Thanks again! :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Arjen:
Upgrade to 3.1.0.0 worked like a charm! :)

bad boot error is no prob just move on and backup works great with rom manager no probs , and even installing latest update of mik rom works

so for me everything working :D
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Joel Chan:
I still can't have it :( I rebooted a few times. Is there a certain rom that I must use?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shhbz:
which rom are u using it works with cm7 for me
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Joel Chan:
I am using Franco's devoid.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rforums:
yeah.... 3.1.0.0!!

After upgrading, i clicked on "reboot to recovery", and it didnt. It just rebooted.

I started to panic, thinking that i may have lost recovery altogether.

Clicked on "reboot to recovery" again, after rebooting and worked like a charm.

*sigh of relief*
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lerkin:
any changelog?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweettaniyaa:
Uninstall the ROM manager and reinstall it by downloading the latest version from the market. When u select flash Clockwork recovery. It will ask u too choose the right device. If ur wifi or data is on it will start downloading the required files and before u know it. Its done.

@shhbz

I tried again and it worked this time. Guess there is some minor bug because I tried thrice before. Didn't work.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] iamrajeev:

Flashed from ROM Manager

Flashed via ROM Manager (I already had ClockWork, but I was asked to do it), than flashed latest Gapps, chose to Wipe Dalvik and than it wanted to reboot into recovery.

Now I am stuck at silver LG logo. Any ideas?

EDIT: working now, went through emergency mode, KDZ-flashing, etc. Currently rooting & installing recovery... and CM7 :)

Everything works, but my hair almost turned gray... after flashing KDZ it rebooted into battery animation, I took that as sign of success and took cable out of the phone. It got bricked in other way than it was before. I got stuck in some strange "Android recovery". That I tried to do KDZ again. It wasn't able to find phone. I almost got stroke. After five minutes of trying different ways to flash KDZ I've realized, that my USB cable is disconnected from my PC :)

I think, that it would be good thing to have ROM Manager forbidding flashing of anything after it have just flashed the recovery :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] shhbz:
u see if you perform two task at a time one after another sometimes it get stuck in that logo try to restorebackup if it doesnt boot up i faced the same prob while usiing thunderg recovery a month back

hey i tried to flash custom rom thru Rom Manger but it gave error & rebooted normally...

hope you are using rom which supports clockwork recovery otherwise it wont flash , eg cm7,ciaox built etc just chk the rom if it support clockwork
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] iamrajeev:
how to check that...

I tried LOL rom so Cm7 can be flashed thru this..what about OpenOptimums ??
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:

1. CM 7 by Mik

2. Openoptimus by Ciaox

I have already rooted my phone.

I was using the void #echo ROM.

My previous recovery was the thunderg version.

I downloaded and installed ROM Manager (free version) from the market.

I downloaded and installed the ClockWork Mod recovery 3.1.0.0 from the ROM Manager.

I used the option "Reboot to recovery" from the ROM Manager. The phone went off and tried to reboot.

Now my phone won't boot up! It is stuck at the FIRST LG logo and nothing more. And my recovery is no longer accessible. The 3 combo button won't work anymore. So what now??? Any help??

"Fastboot mode started
wdc_start()"

It is on white text and black background.

And it stays....(I have to remove battery)

And if I turn off in normal mode (no HOME+Down+Turn On),same thing happens!!

You should head over to ciaox's new thread for bricks and fastboot related matter. But its not going to be painless.

and sorry for the inconvenience
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Seeing all these things, I think I got lucky many times.

Once i have flashed latest recovery. I have used rom manager to flash roms about 3-4 times. All times successful. 2 times I gave the rom manager command to flash two non-rom zips. One time it was successful, another, it was stuck at LG logo. In latter scenerio I went into recovery which was intact.

I have even backedup Mik's CM 7 and Openoptimus by Ciaox. I have done backups three times.

Once I have restored the backup through rom manager.

But reading all the above posts, it seems I have been lucky 10 times. Or too adventurous.

But now I will think 10*100=1000 times before using rom manager.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Javi22:
Please...any idea¿? I am really afraid now, the phone dont turn on!:(
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] mik_os:
1. Download fastboot (http://developer.htc.com/adp.html)

2. Extract working boot.img from your roms zip.

3. Connect device to PC and in command line: "fastboot.exe flash boot path\to\boot.img"
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
@javi

In general section, there is a thread by ciaox in phones bricked by rom manager and where you see the fastboot mod started on your phone. You can recover your phone by following the lengthy tutorial if you have some Linux knowledge.

Otherwise wait for some other senior Guy to reply. I am not an IT person, I just use Android phone for pleasure and as a hobby.

Go over to that thread in general section of O1.

I see here Mik has already replied. May be this will turn out to be real solution for you. Do as Mik says.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Javi22:
Ok good, I am trying to do that Mik says...Thanks a lot;)

Edit: I have downloaded fastbootb. Well, but apparently I have to install "SDK Android" and "Java SE SDK". Now Im installing that....is it OK?

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Seems kdz tutorial helped you. Congrats. I always had this thought in my hindsight that kdz will be there in extreme situations. But last 2-3 days I have really gotten confused from a latest fastboot brick thread by ciaox. The tutorial there seems meant only for seasoned Linux knowledgeable person. But very complex for me. I am happy you did it the kdz way.

So the thread you link really helped you out?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
I would ask Mik also: will kdz be always able to solve this problem?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] franciscofranco:
Yes, but the risk of really bricking the phone is real and if it bricks during kdz there is no chance besides sending it to customer service. I wouldnt use kdz unless it was my last chance.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Javi22:
yeah of course, that KDZ thread helped me to reset the phone. Now it is like new...xD

Now I had to flash void again, restore titanium backup....and all that...

Should I now install ClockWork? (would be from ciaox´s thread, not??) Or must I continue with custom revovery? (Whats the difference?)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] arvinoids:
Phone got bricked, went to fastboot!

So I bricked my phone to fastboot mode after flashing through rom manager. I'm not exactly sure what I did wrong. I am on amon ra/thunderg, is that the problem?

anyway, just in case anybody screws up like I did, here's how I unbricked it:

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

(commands above assumes that there is a recovery image called recovery.img in the same folder where fastboot.exe is located.)

:)

I will try to reflash cwm!

Edit: CWM now works! ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
It would be greatly helpful to others if you make and post a small tutorial on how you did this explaining step by step process. Kindly do it. I think yours was the shortest solution. I am very curious to know the step by step by process.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Also you are saying you had amonra and you gave rom manager the command to flash a rom. So this was the first mistake in first place.

Rom manager might have gone into recovery but instead of finding clockworkmod recovery it found amonra and this incompatibility resulted in fastboot mode.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
One more thing. I have flashed, backuped and restored via rom manager about 10 times. Always it was smooth.

The root world dreams of a working Rom Manager in their phones.

We have it working, but where and why it went wrong for a few, is open for discussion.

1. As for me I started using rom manager somewhere with, I believe cm 6.3 or 6.4.2. I already had a folder clockworkmod on my SD, as before rom manager also I had backuped a rom.

2. I opened rom manager for the first time, but I don't exactly remember what I did then that it said phone is now setup to use with rom manager and some files were added to clockworkmod folder on SD card .

3. Then at some point of time when i had, i think, CWM 3.0.2.4, I opened rom manager and after clicking on flash recovery, only option that popped up said "OPTIMUS ONE". I chose it. The 3.1.0.0 recovery was downloaded and flashed while I remained in the rom manager only.

4. Since then before also I have commanded it about 10 times and that too successfully.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] rforums:
I too have flashed, backed up and restored using ROM manager plenty of times without any glitches.

After seeing the above posts, i am starting to feel afraid to use ROM manager.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Two days before I was on CWM 3.1.0.0. Then Andy's rom came up. I flashed the 1.2 amonra zip. But after a few hours I wanted to come back to Mik's Nand. I had Mik's Nand backup via CWM3.1.0.0. So I flashed back CWM 3.0.2.4. Then restored Mik's cm through recovery.

Till a few mins before I had 3.0.2.4. I love rom manager. So I couldn't resist. I opened up the app. I told it to flash recovery. The only option that popped up was for "OPTIMUS ONE ". I chose it. In 3 seconds it said "new recovery flashed successfully " as the 3.1.0.0 version is the latest one and was already there in clockworkmod/download folder on SD card.

Then I commanded it to go to recovery. It obeyed me. And I can confirm it's 3.1.0.0.

Lucky two more time again. Or this is just routine?

Cheers
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
It's not Rom Manager's fault. You can use it without fear. Fastboot loop can happen even if you flash the recovery through adb or a flashable zip. Rom manager is as dangerous as adb. It's flashing the recovery that is dangerous, whatever is the method to flash it. So if you don't want to risk, simply don't flash recovery, otherwise you can use Rom Manager without being afraid :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Javi22:
Well, I flashed from RManager and my phone bricked (fastboot error). I had to use KDZ and reset the all phone (I lost all my apps, files..etc).... Doing this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015332

So should I try to flash this ClockWorkMod recovery again, or it is risky?

Now, I have installed Custom Recovery (thunder, I think), I flashed it via adb on Windows. Must I leave it, or try to install ClockWork?¿? (indeed, what advantage has it?)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
You can try, it worked for lots of people. And that guide is wrong, if you get into fastboot loop you don't need to use kdz, you can simply use fastboot to flash again the recovery and you won't lost any of your apps, files ecc ;)

And IMHO, ClockworkMod + Rom Manager are far more comfortable than thunderg/amon-ra ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Javi22:
Well....I trust in what you say :D and I will try to flash clockwork (but not from rom manager, I will do from current recovery..)

I didnt know what you say, that I dont need to use KDZ if I get into fastboot loop...so good news :P
