Hi guys.

I rooted my Tattoo, and installed ROM Manager, clicked on first option "Flash latest recovery", and when it finished it showed message "Succesfully flashed". When i rebooted to recovery it just showed yellow ! and picture of phone.

Please help I need CWM to install CM 7 because I am going on a trip.

Note: I have stock rom flashed using RUU, before that I had CM 7.
[Click General] rallapag:
You could either use automated tool from the following thread

[1 Click Root and/or Recovery]Root and ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 [UPDATED 02/10/11]

or look at following post for doing it manually

I can't access my computer right now, but I rooted Tattoo with Universal Androroot, and still can't flash CWM.

Note: I used Universal Androroot while ago and I did managed to flash CWM.
[Click General] andynroid:
1. Format SDCard 2. Place the ROM in the root 3. PowerOff 4. Press HOME + EndCall Button 5. ClockWorkMod Recovery Page Will Appear. 6. Wipe n Clear...Flash
[Click General] PavleSRB:
Can't install ClockwordMod man. Stock recovery appears instead.
[Click General] rallapag:
As you are rooted, you could flash recovery using terminal on the phone.

install terminal and Superuser from market

download CWM recovery 3.0.2 from Kalims' thread and place it in root of your sdcard

download flash_image to root of your sdcard

enter following commands in terminal

su
cp /sdcard/flash_image /data/local/flash_image
cd /data/local
chmod 04755 flash_image
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_3.2.0.1.img
[Click General] PavleSRB:
Thans. I will try it. Is it posibble to install newer version of CWM via terminal?
[Click General] PavleSRB:
I can't download flash_image, says nothinhg was found.
[Click General] sunitknandi:
Try this

Do u have Universal Androot still installed on ur phone? If its there, then re-root with it and launch ROM Manager immediately after that. Flash recovery TWICE. The new CWM has problems flashing in 1st go.

And secondly, if u are on stock ROM, before updating recovery, always re-root with Androot. Because after every reboot, the tattoo_hack.ko module gets unloaded from the memory if you used Universal Androot on stock ROM.
[Click General] sunitknandi:
Things to know while rooting stock ROM:

1. HTC Tattoo is HTC's first NAND locked device preventing users to write to system and recovery under normal conditions.

2. This NAND lock can be defeated by inserting tattoo_hack.ko module. This module was created on taking the help of info from a leaked QualComm datasheet.

3. The module needs to be inserted prior to writing to system or flashing recovery.

4. The manual rooting method and Maveric/NTenisOT 1-click method flashes a custom boot.img after rooting so that the NAND remains unlocked everytime the device is used. On the other hand, Universal Androot unlocks the NAND temporarily while rooting and unrooting. If Androot is used, the device gets permanently rooted, but the NAND locks itself after a reboot, until Androot is used again or tattoo_hack is inserted.

5. Custom 1.6, 2.1, 2.2 roms have tattoo_hack added to their modules list to keep NAND unlocked while device is running. On 2.3, however, the unlock code is compiled into the kernel, so the module is not needed.

6. We deal with this module because no one has developed S-OFF for the Tattoo.

7. Most users forget about this module once their Tattoo is rooted. :P New users oversee this module and run into problems. The CyanogenMod wiki is misleading in 'How to root Tattoo' because of this.

Finally, please sticky this info if possible because I tell this to everyone who has rooting problems.
[Click General] PavleSRB:
Thanks. I did everething just like you sad, but no luck.
[Click General] rallapag:
download attached flash_image.zip and remove ".zip" extension.

and try as mentioned in my previous of my post.

And remember what sunitknandi mentioned about re-rooting with androot after a reboot.
[Click General] sunitknandi:
Go to universal androot. Hit root again. Let it complete.

Then use Root Explorer and mount /system as rw. Or u ca also use Terminal Emulator. Just type these.

su

mount -o remount rw /system

Close terminal.

Go to ROM Manager. Tap Flash ClockWorkMod recovery. First it will take time. Let it successfully flash. Tap again. Let it flash. Tap again. Let it flash.

I am telling you to tap this many times. Because CWM 5.0.2.0 doesnt flash easily. I got so many failed flashes even on CM7. It only gets flashed after a couple of time.

Otherwise, hit menu button on ROM Manager, slect settings and check mark 'Erase recovery before flashing'. Go back and flash recovery twice.

Finally reboot manually. No need to use ROMManager's reboot option. I read that it works rather badly on Android 1.x. Boot with HOME+POWER.

Lemme know.

Btw, the safest method to flash recovery is NTenis's tool. Used it many times without problems because it flashes the boot to disable the write-protection.
[Click General] PavleSRB:
Thank you so so much. I rooted using Androot, then typed commands for Terminal and finally flashed CWM from ROM Manager five or six times. Then I used Home + End call buttons and CWM was there.

BTW, thanks to rallepag, too.
[Click General] sunitknandi:
Good so u did it. If u feel like thanking me, would u do me a favor?

Just copy my posts about the tattoo-hack and how to fixed your problem in a thread and share with others. It will come of great help.
[Click General] PavleSRB:
I will try to do that via XDA app, because my monitor is currently broken.
[Click General] WWWeed:
Thanks for this. This has been driving me mad the past week or so!

ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 Seems to need 5 installs to work properly (and you granting access in the 3rd or 4th install). After that you can use the install from sd card option in rommanager!
[Click General] sunitknandi:
Happy to help!

Eh hehe, its the saying in vodafone's ad.
[HTC Sensation] Kindlysinful:
I have a friend that is experiencing some unusual characters when she receives an text message.

They are something like egyptian hieroglyphics.

Is this a settings issues? I believe she has tried a factory reset but still is having the issues.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] DirknJirkn13:
Does anyone have experience with them? I was hoping to buy a Galaxy S2 for AT&T from them, but I don't know if it's legit. I have been emailing them, and they do respond very quickly. They say they get their products "directly from the manufacturing company in large quantities at factory wholesale prices." The reason I am skeptical is because they use Western Union Money Transfer, and not Paypal. They did say that I could send half the payment before they ship and half after I get it, so can anyone tell me if this is a good deal? Or just a scam?

Thanks!

[HTC Sensation] smockpuv:
I flashed the recommended radio 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 a few days back and my question is my phone still says .00P instead of .00U. Any ideas as to why or what affect that has?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] tehshouter:
Try to reflash it?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It makes no difference,and there is no adverse affect.

:)
[HTC Sensation] OKors:
I just flashed my Sensation with Revolution HD also and I'm curious about the Radio update.

It says 'recommended' but what exactly is different about this radio vs the stock one? I've read here and there that flashing the radio can be pretty dicey and is a large casue of bricked devices.

My phone seems to be operating fine now without the flash. I don't mind flashing it but I'd like to understand the differences first.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Same Question...
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

To quote mike:

He strongly recommends the radio because

--- Using a "non matched" radio could have a negative effect on performance, battery life & signal strength ------ You don't have to flash RIL files for recommended radio. It's already in the ROM ------ You would need S-OFF in order to do it properly

So, the radios are optimized for his roms.

:)
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
It has no effect, they are exactly the same radio flashed.

The U vs P is a tag to determine which market the phone is for.

for example in Europe you'll generally have "U" here in the US on TMO we generally have "P".

Let me see if I can provide an easy explanation:

In the past there were often radio's specifically tweaked for the market they were releasing into for example a "Europe" and "US" radio.

The radio numbers are simply revision numbers in the evolution of the overall radio.

The more current radios are optimized and the preferred build for most of the newer ROMs because the Radio/IRL is optimized for the 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 sensation builds.

The current radios may not be overly different in their individual changelogs but they are different in how the matching Radio/IRL interacts with the ROM in regards to call quality, power consumption and of course the Kernel. This is why a chef will recommend a radio with a ROM.

I've used various radios on the TMoUS Sensation and the most recent radio is by far the best performer in regards to call quality and power IMO. You've certainly got nothing to lose by upgrading and might gain the extras enabled by the more current ROMs mostly in the way of optimized performance.

The flashing process itself causes more issues than the radios. The best way is to ADB Fastboot flash radio radio.img.

In the past when radio's were matched to geo markets or specific rom builds this was more of an issue. If you follow the guidelines it's actually really easy. Just be sure you S-off before you try anything.

Don't mind,00P for the t-mobile version phone, you must have that one~~~

and 00U for all others phone..ah~~
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] OzGurKan:

The rom's UI is excellent and Its amazingly fast. I dont like the fonts applied. Can someone provide a flashable zip of fonts present in sonygenmod v1.2 ?? Or stock fonts ??
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] boykioy:
I will not answer any question about the flashing and if Dora's not work. If its not the probably you have done something wrong. This rom has been tested in three different Tom's without problem.

Iam not responsible if you brik your phone.

Also Will TWRP work with this
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Joel Chan:
I'm using ultimatum and it's fine with me.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] RockR172:
I just feel that instead of opening up a 100 threads, you guys could have put all the roms in one single thread with different version names like fserve has done for his kernels... this makes the development section look cleaner..

Otherwise, a very good rom with a sexy UI and a nice sony look... i liked the rom... :)
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] sweetnsour:
try the following:

a) toggle signature verification

b) if "a" didn't work, redownload the rom and try again
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Sorry2U:
The Home2.3.4-3panel.zip doesn't work, flashed but remains the Arc launcher.

Import contacts from SD card using phonebook doesn't work...

However directly browsing to file using file manager and reading it works...

Also screen does not lock properly. ( requires 2 -3) times of pressing button at times ...

And the battery indicator at the top right doesn't seem to be indicating the correct level of juice left!

Anyone else having similar problems??
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] boykioy:
Contacts import and lock screen working just fine, wipe everything and reflash.

The battery indicator is in 5% steps as the original xpreria framework, it shows the correct level of battery. It just dont have many indicators.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Human_dude_007:
Look what battery shows at 2%!!strange!!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Human_dude_007:
Just realised ..the default battery indicator works good but when battery % in turned on in gingercruz setting the problem occurs!
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] boykioy:
Correct, the battery icon is not made for % as on cm settings.you need to Change to the default icon.

boy arent u thinking of releasing a sonygenmod with 6.5.8 ????????? i would but i dont really know how
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] DaXmax:
Nevermind, i think im failing everything... I think i stop my themeing, kinda no use... :(
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] boykioy:
Why should i make the rom with 6.5.8? What the benefits are? To have the ring lock screen only? This is the only change, i do not know why all of you like the 6.5.8 it provides nothing more.

Regardign the ring lock, as i have said in previous post, it is not possible to have them in SONYGEN - gINGERCRUZT cause the framework that is used in this rom is from Xperia.

@Dax, why you are so dissapointed?? :confused:

I have the .32 kernal (2.6.32.44-franco-kernalv19.2, baseband 2009.

No worky at all. I reinstalled the old version of this rom 1.0 and it works fine.

Why is this?

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

This saddens me because it's the best rom i've used on this phone, best battery life, fastest, etc... but version 1.0 has a few flaws that make it usable long term. I'd love to run this 1.2, but it just won't boot. Tried it again now. Wiped cashe, dalvik cache, full reset, installed rom, shows the LG logo for a while, then reboots right into recovery.
