I never had issues like that with any recovery and believe me, I have tried all of them. I did manage to brick it once, but it was my fault (recovery for another device). RomManager standard (non premium) will not let you use an alternate cevovery to flash rom files. With the premium it's another story. Flashing works, but it doesn't automatically restarts afterwards and no wipe options will be presented before flashing.

How to restore a nandroid backup at this recovery? I go to backup and restore->restore, and it does not find files. I putted "nandroid" folder in SD root. This backup was done with this recovery so....how to restore?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
A backup can be restored from the recovery from which it was made.

Moreover after a clean install if you need your data back, it can be done only via titanium backup. That too if you backed up your data/apps via titanium.

And finally, clockwork recovery saves Nand backups in clockworkmod folder on SD card.

Anonra saves in nandroid folder.

Hi,

I had asked this question in the general thread but was not able to get a solution. SO I thought I will post this here. If this is not the correct I apologize and would appreciate it some would point me in the correct direction.

I have a rooted Optimus T and today I installed 4.2.1.0 RomManager with the intention of installing clockworkmod recovery. I chose Optimus One as suggested and as that was the only Optimus option that made sense. The clockworkmod recovery installs OK with a "successfully installed" message. I can reboot into recovery using ROM Manager and it shows the correct screen but after I select any option it shows the next screen with clockworkmod logo in the center of the screen and stays that way. If I hit the power button I return back to the main screen. I cannot do anything. I have to pull the battery and then restarts and goes into the normal boot routine and is fully functional afterwards. I read the whole main thread and also used the search button but was not able to find any solutions. If anybody can help me out with a solution or point me to a thread that has the solution, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Prahalad
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] d3s3rt_eagle:
Try to reflash the recovery through rom manager. Optimus T is the same as Optimus One :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ppateel:
That's what i thought.

I tried reflashing multiple times. At least 6 times. I also verified that the device is actually rooted by going to the terminal emulator and was able to get to the su prompt. On the SD card there is a folder clockworkmod. The .settings file look OK with the proper device "thunderg" and the version is correct 3.1.0.0. I am totally stumped.

Is there a manual process to install this rather than ROMManager?

Prahalad

PS: This freezing problem occurs going into recovery both ways thru ROM Manager or the three button salute.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
Before reflash you should delete the downloaded recovery. You will find it on SD card in clockworkmod/download /mirror/cm/recoverys.

Then try to reflash again.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Probably wrong thread to ask, but - anyone working on fixing the extX bug? Creates complete broken ext partitions on SD cards, been so quite a while (all the 3.x versions). AmonRA has no such issue.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ppateel:
No go. I deleted that and reflashed, still freezes. I uninstalled and deleted and started fresh but still got the same issue. Has anybody flashed this on Optimus T? If please tell me how you got it working.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] blushrts:
ppateel, try using the menu key instead of power to select options. I just flashed my wife's Optimus T tonight, ran into the same issue as you and just started pressing keys. The menu key allowed me to back up and flash a rom.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ppateel:
Yeah!! works for me too.

Thank you sooooo much. Somebody should put this in the noob thread that way it does not get asked again and again. I am so used to Vibrant that I kept hitting the power key. Once again thank you so much. Now onto installing CM7
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] signumized:
Does anyone know where the recovery software itself is stored on the phone? On a separate partition? I'm asking because I don't want to erase it by mistake or anything like this (when i would wipe the system, cache etc or fooling around with different apps)

Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 4silvertooth:
Its inside the phone memory not sdcard you wont be able to delete it..

Just make sure u don't use the format recovery from recovery cwm menu.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ivan1real:
So what's the correct way to install this if you already have amonra installed ? Ended up in a fastboot.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] marioemp2k7:
You could try this.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ivan1real:
Recovered it already, but I was asking for a proper way to flash clockwork

Anyway, flashed it again via Rom Manager and now it works.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Way, not sure about the "proper" way, I always extract the *.img file from ZIP to root of SD card and use

> adb shell
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Used ROM Manager twice and got fastboot twice, so, thanks but no thanks. ;)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Coffei:
I (as a newbie to android) decided to flash ClockworkMod, and thought that using RomManager will be the safest method. Of course it did brick my phone (hopefully I restored it), but I really would appreciate at least some warning at the first post (there are lot of newbies! and it seems to be quite normal issue) or at least link to the unbricking tutorial (via fastboot, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1080185)... just an idea...:)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] :
Or someone point this out to ROM Manager developer as the feature is obviously quite broken and needs fixing! Meanwhile, I cannot recommend using ROM Manager for flashing recovery at all.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ghost_141:
Hi, I have a doubt. Amon Ra may be replaced by ClockworkMod automatically? Is that just passed me.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] nee_vak:
If i flash stock rom on my optimus t to do sim unlock (or can i unlock it on mik's cm7 rom?), will i lose cwm recovery in the process? Or is that portion of nand untouched? Using terminal emulator was a *****, especially with the tiny on-screen keyboard (i think i couldnt get adb to work even with the drivers)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] ViTAMiNCHEG:
When you flash cwm through the Rom Manager, it replaces AmonRA automaticly.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] 4silvertooth:
Wow u r so unlucky. I always use rom manager with no problems at all.

The rom manager first downloads the img file here

/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirror.sea.tdrevolution.net/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.1.0.0-thunderg.img

then it does the same thing you do with adb internally. So I don't get the point. I think u r plain unlucky.

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] lekhwani:
You wouldn't believe. A lot of times I heard the name koush. But a month back I opened the rom manager and went into settings. What I saw there was " Koushik Dutta"

Koush is just a nickname.

Can't you just go back in recovery and flash a new rom or doing a nand backup. Happened too me one time and that's what I did. I've got fastboot after flashing a new kernel and restore worked fine for me.

Yes, ROM Manager is completely broken in this regard. It needs to download a signed ZIP and discard it and report an error when verification fails. Heck, ZIP format has even its own CRC check.

Yep, i've also saw the script, but bravely enough i took the risk and installed it, just for the sake of knowing wich cwm version was... and found that it was v4.0.1.4 (being v4.0.1.5 the lastest)... tested it myself a little but not enough to say that is fully working (didnt wanted to screw anything...) ok so i reverted to my beloved amonra 2.2.1b (flashed via cwm v4.0.1.4, no problems:))
