[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
Boot into recovery menu works with ROM Manager,but can`t download

and install the newest cwm recovery!

The statusbar of downloading and installing the recovery shows always 0%

for 10 or 15 minutes and then phone freezes.

Maybe the mobile network is the problem,because ROM Manager says we should

use Wi-Fi connection!
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Is there a way we can download the image of Clockwork separate from using ROM manager?
[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
You can take a look at here:

[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
List of all recovery images

recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-shooter.img
[HTC EVO 3D] eddyz:
@ganii

i had the same problem when flashing cwm to my evo 3d gsm. phone froze and had to do a stock restore.

you mentioned that it requires wifi to download correctly? did you by any chance try that?
[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
Can`t test Wi-Fi connection,at the moment no internet at home :(

But I flashed official recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-shooter.img and

recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-shooter.img to my phone via fastboot

and no ones works.

So I think clockwork recoverys only available for cdma EVO 3D at the

moment.

Only recovery which works for EVO 3D gsm,I think,is

cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img,which made by Revolutionary.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Hell yeah. Thanks a bunch!
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
go to koushs website and get the recovery image from here

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html

Download Android commander here:

http://androidcommander.com/

In android commander select phone at top, flash, recovery and choose the clockwork recovery image, simplest way. i've had to do this with multiple phones that would not flash clockwork through rom manager, even on og evos oddly enough. hope i helped!
[HTC EVO 3D] ridedalightnin:
TimidRat: I tried to do this, but I am not exactly sure how to flash the recovery from Android Commander. I tried to to highlight the image and click flash but nothing happens. Am I missing something? Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
Afterbyou click flash click recovery and select wherever you saved the recovery image too.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Anyone having success in installing Clockwork manually through the Terminal Emulator? I installed the flash_image file, placed the image in the root of the sdcard, ,su'ed, entered flash_image recovery /sdcard/clockwork.img, but for the life of me it won't recognize the file giving the stupid no such file error. Grrrrrrrr....

What's bugging me is that this is how I did it for 2.3.3 while I was rooting it. Makes me want to throw something.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
Not tested yet ,but why you don`t flash it as "PG86IMG.zip" from sdcard

via booting into bootloader?

Example attached:
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Appreciate the link Ganii, but I enjoy doing it manually. However, I did find a substitute method that will install it without leaving the native android GUI. It's joeykrim's flash image gui app. It's pretty good and works great.Makes me a little bit lazy, but it'll have to do until I find a blog.so file.
[HTC EVO 3D] New EVO 3D:
Help me please some one. I am having a similar problem with my EVO 3D CDMA. I rooted via HTC method, install CWM, ROM Manager and every thing was fine. ROM Manager got a updated to flash latest CWM to 5.0.2.0. Didn't notice anything at first, but when I try to boot into CWM my phone just reboots itself instead of recovery. So I'm guessing I don't have any type of recovery. Someone please help me fix this!!!! Also one more ?, I am kinda new to all this I had a blackberry before getting the EVO 4G then move on to to the 3D anyway if I run the RUU will that erase my SD card?
[HTC EVO 3D] TimidRat:
Go back into rom manager scroll to the bottom and flash alternate recovery amon-ra's, its much better than clockwork on the 4g, or use the instructions I posted above and do it through android commander. Also make sure fastboot is off under settings power...

Hi,

anybody know a few good site for comparing android phones? I recently read about geekaphone, but their size-comparing feature is kind strange (how is a Galaxy SII [66x125x8 mm] smaller in "size" than a Desire S [59x115x11 mm], especially when there is a extra "thin" option apart from "size"?).

Hi,

I an facing an issue. How do you use part of a song to make a ringtone? Is the stock MUSIC app able to create such files. I tried but whenever I try to set a ringtone using 'Set as' it does not give any option to select part of the song. I tried Ringdroid and other apps but it seems that none of them can create ringtones from flac format songs.

Any solutions.Please help.

[Motorola Droid 3] Billiam44:
Hello Everyone,

So I unfroze all of my apps in Titanium Backup and flashed the OTA that is posted in the development forum for the Droid 3 and it seems to have worked great other than one small problem. Every time I try to use the camera or camcorder they will open for about 2-3 seconds and then they close and I end up back at my home screen. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try to make my camera apps work again?

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention that I did try rebooting the phone as well as clearing the cache for the camera app, no change. Also Camera Zoom FX stays open but just has black where the camera image would normally be.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
Maybe you... forgot to unfreeze the camera app lol.

No but id check what you do have frozen, maybe there's a service the camera app is dependent upon you might have accidentally frozen (assuming you rerooted after update)
[Motorola Droid 3] Billiam44:
I did re-root after applying the OTA update and then I froze about 15 apps that I found to be annoying/un-needed, however even after unfreezing all of them, any app involving the camera still isn't working. I also just noticed that my flashlight app that worked before the OTA is not working either.
[Motorola Droid 3] rtbrjason:
First thing I would try is "clear data" for the Camera app and reboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] Billiam44:
Tried that a couple of times but no change. I just also noticed that the camera app flashes a small message up at the bottom of the screen really quickly stating that the camera is unable to initialize.
[Motorola Droid 3] kishin14:
Uninstall any third-party app that uses the camera (if you have any) the try again.
[Motorola Droid 3] Billiam44:
Thank you for the suggestion, I hadn't thought of that. Unfortunately that did not work either. No change, still getting the same message for about a second or two and then it closes.
[Motorola Droid 3] somemadcaaant:
Try re-uploading the camera apk and odex files, might need to set permissions the same as the other system apps.

Unzip and use something like rootexplorer, delete current BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex, set write access on system/app folder then copy these.

-smc
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
The problem is the camera firmware, amongst other things, is first deleted and then replaced during the OTA update - if something happens, that firmware is never copied back causing the camera to fail.

The problem I had was too much stuff installed in /system and it simply ran out of space. This also caused my recovery to fail to update which then failed checksum if I tried to boot to recovery.

I had a bunch of binaries I installed in /system/xbin taking up several MB of space. I deleted them - including busybox - and reran the update. Now everything works fine.

If your recovery is hosed, I posted how to fix in the update thread.

If you need help and haven't wiped /cache yet, post /cache/recovery/last_log
[Motorola Droid 3] 640k:
also, one note, i'm seeing alot of people reporting issues with the stock apps AFTER they've removed bloat (any method). the first thing people should do is put the bloat back, or in worse case scenario, do a wipe to see if there's really something wrong.

i froze an email service and it cause my text messenger to stop working. you don't know what libraries are shared with what. freeze with caution.
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
I agree, and would suggest to anyone to use the script for removing and replacing the bloat - it makes it much easier to do (especially from adb when you foul it up) and keeps track of what you've done.

That said, I highly doubt that is the issue here. The update script first checksums everything that needs to be patched and deletes everything that is to be replaced. So if you have anything removed, it will either cause it to fail (if the file is to be patched) or not matter (if it is to be deleted or simply isn't touched). In other words, if you have anything missing that is needed, the update wouldn't touch anything.

Furthermore, I don't think any of the commonly removed bloatware serves as a dependency for the camera. At least not as far as I can tell.

I can tell you that /system is filled to the brim with all of the bloatware. The current ROM is just barely shoehorned in there. Many 'for-root-users' apps like to install stuff to /system and since the updater script doesn't check for free space, it may very well fail to extract in the middle of execution even though it already deleted a bunch of files.

So I think more importantly than restoring bloat, you should remove anything you added.
[Motorola Droid 3] Billiam44:
I tried your directions and re-ran the update after fixing recovery, however my camera still doesn't work because of the same basic issue, running out of space before the update completed. Upon re-rooting and going in to my system directory with root explorer I noticed that I now only have 195k free there. I checked the xbin folder and do not see busybox or anything else there that I recognize that I could delete to free up space. How can I tell what is safe to delete and what isn't so I can free up enough to fix my recovery again and hopefully get the update to work properly?
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
You can see a breakdown of disk usage with this command:

du -sh /system/*

Here's mine with busybox removed:

147.6M	/system/app
7.5M	/system/bin
11.0K	/system/build.prop
5.5M	/system/etc
5.1M	/system/fonts
35.5M	/system/framework
75.7M	/system/lib
1.0K	/system/lost+found
19.2M	/system/media
0	/system/preinstall
304.0K	/system/recovery-from-boot.p
4.6M	/system/tts
8.3M	/system/usr
135.0K	/system/xbin

And my free space is

$ df /system

Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/system 320M 317M 2M 1024

Other than su, the only files you need in xbin are (don't worry about the symlinks)

backup dexdump drm1_func_test run_backup run_restore ssmgrd

I think the only extra bits I now have on /system is su.

I also found the system dump from this post to be very helpful.
[Motorola Droid 3] Billiam44:
Whenever I'm trying du It's saying that the command wasn't found. What are you using for your terminal access?
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
Hmm it seems du isn't a standard binary even though I have it in bin. I sure don't remember putting that in there...

Anyway, I use adb or Better Terminal Emulator Pro, depending what mood on in.

To use adb, you'll need to install busybox to /data somewhere (I have mine in /data/local/bin) and use

$ /data/local/bin/busybox du -sh /system/*

BTEP has a fairly complete set of CLI tools included - such as du - so you don't need busybox.
[Motorola Droid 3] Billiam44:
I figured out how to do the command through busybox and have come up with some interesting results...

I am over yours on...

153.8M /system/app
1.9M /system/xbin

I am under yours on...

4.7M /system/bin
4.9M /system/etc
71.8M /system/lib

And I match yours on...

11.0K /system/build.prop
5.1M /system/fonts
35.5M /system/framework
1.0K /system/lost+found
19.2M /system/media
0 /system/preinstall
304.0K /system/recovery-from-boot.p
4.6M /system/tts
8.3M /system/usr

This is with busybox installed in the xbin folder so that is probably why I am over on that one, however the app folder is quite a bit over as well but I can't figure out why. The only file that I can find in there that doesn't seem to belong is Superuser.apk but it is only 191k.

UPDATE: I finally found a large app that wasn't present in the system dump that you had mentioned before. I backed it up to my sd card and removed it, went through the update, and now my camera is working. Thank you very much to everyone who helped, especially limaxray!
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
Glad I was able to help!
[Motorola Droid 3] dsw361:
This is a great example for why we should always wipe data/cache before any rom update.
[Motorola Droid 3] limaxray:
That wouldn't have helped here at all. If anything, it would have made it impossible to use adb in case of a boot loop.

These are not like community ROM updates and don't need anything wiped.
[Motorola Droid 3] kshen1:
Exactly. the last thing I would do is wipe data/cache if we encountered a bootloop. Adb is so important to us right now because we don't have a custom recovery or an sbf.
[Motorola Droid 3] cgee23:
Cant get my camera to work aelpfter installing the root can anyone help
[Motorola Droid 3] VandVisX:
The problem seems to be related to the hardware not getting flashed correctly during the update because of a full system partition. Try using a program like Titanium Backup to backup and uninstall some of the Verizon bloatware in your system partition, then manually reinstall the update.
