[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150d:
Hi everyone,

I'm using a HTC Wildfire and am considering changing from stock (HTC non-branded) to CyanogenMod for a number of minor reasons. Could anyone just confirm that I got a few points right before I get started:

- Recovery is totally independent from the ROM itself, right? So I can flash ClockWorkMod Recovery only, continue to use the stock ROM, but have the additional features of ClockWorkMod available, such as backup, with which I can create a complete backup of the stock ROM. In case I don't like CyanogenMod, I can restore the stock image and be exactly where I left it, Apps, Settings and everything (of course the new Recovery will still be installed.) Is this correct?

- I'm planning to do the following steps (I read about the details, just want to confirm the basics):

x use the Revolutionary way to S-OFF and install new Recovery

x create full image backup of the stock ROM using the new Recovery

x install new ROM (ClockWorkMod)

x if I don't like CM: restore image created before to return to stock

-> This should work, shouldn't it?

- One more: What will happen if the the phone is S-OFF, an alternative Recovery is installed, and a HTC Firmware-Update is attempted? Will this work at all, will it update just the ROM, or will it update the Recovery, too? S-OFF will not be changed back to S-ON, right?

Thanks for your help.

Regards
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
1. Yes, the recovery is in it's own partition and is independent from the ROM

2. The recovery creates a "snapshot" of your current ROM. So when you restore, it'll be just the way you left it.

3. There's no need to do any HTC Firmware updates after installing a custom ROM (infact, I'm almost 100% sure that it won't work)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
As a basic answer yes you go ahead with what you posted.just make sure your hboot version is compatible with revolutionary 1st etc etc.

As for HTC firmware update question,if your talking about the over the air updates I'm not sure but I think it would update your hboot thus reverting back to s-on status again so best not accept it if you do get one (turn off in settings)

Edit : ninja'd lol
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150d:
Yes, of course.

No, the manual ones you can download directly from HTC and install via USB. My understanding was that this would kill everything flashable, including radio and recovery. It would be reassuring to have a worst-case way to go back to stock in case the image-restore fails for whatever reason.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
Ah sorry never dealt with any firmware updates. There are ruu.exe to help get back to stock if something goes wrong I think.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scratch0805:
You can go completely back to stock, s-on and all but believe me once you have cwm installed there really is no point unless its for warranty reasons, backup fails are rare with the latest recoveries + if it does fail with your first backup you can always post here and we will explain how to extract a stock Rom from an ruu to put things back to how they where before or you can flash a custom sense Rom and modify it to your liking.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150d:
That's great.

Yea, exactly. I'm a little on the paranoid side, I know... ;-)

Ok, I'm on my way now. I've performed the "Revolutionary" S-OFF and am now running "Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4". Is this an out-of-date version?

I've read about ROM-Manager being able to auto-check for and flash a new Clockworks Recovery, but I've also read that ROM-Manager needs root. I have not yet flashed a new ROM, so I assume that I'm not yet rooted, am I? Can I find a ZIP of CWM that I can directly flash from the SD-card?

Does the CWM-version I'm running have any effect on the "quality" of the image backup? In other words, if I create a backup now, will I be able to restore it later running a different version of CWM?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
The "different version backup restore" is a bit wonky and won't always work.

To flash a different recovery from the SD card do this:

1. Place this file on your SD card (Not in any folders!): http://www.multiupload.com/74EW2VPNHL

2. Boot into the bootloader

3. Wait a bit and then it should prompt you to update

4. Click the volume+ key to update

5. Remove SD card

6. Boot into the new recovery and insert the SD card

7. Go under mounts and select Mount USB storage

8. Delete the PCIMG file from your computer
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150d:
I tried to, but I couldn't use the link. The whole domain seems to be down - maybe another holy crusade of Big Content, who knows. They sure leave fans in their wake, don't they.

Since you indicated that updating would be ok for the wildfire I went to http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and downloaded the file recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip.

However, I'm not sure how to handle it: If I put it on the card under this name, nothing happens on bootloader-start. In recovery, I can select the file and install it, and then I immidiatly get a newly colored menu with the new CWM version 5.something. However, once I restart, the old CWM (v4.x) is there again.

I assume I need to use a magic filename so that the bootloader performs the update, not the (already running) recovery. Right?

**EDIT: Ah, disregard. I believe I found the answer myself.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Do you have fastboot?

If you do I can give you the recovery.img I'm using, which you can flash via fastboot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150d:
Yes, fastboot is available.

Thank you.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Okay, here's how you flash a recovery via fastboot.

1. Extract the .zip I attached to the location where you fastboot is

2. Reboot phone in the bootloader

3. Select fastboot and attach USB cable

4. Open up the command prompt and type in "cd [location of fastboot]

5. Type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

6. You're done :)

Oh and by [location of fastboot] I mean that you type in the location of fastboot.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 150d:
Wow - this was fun. There was something really curious going on with my device: Whatever I tried, no "official" way worked to modify CWM v4 to v5. In every case, the menu of the new version showed up and was usable, but was gone again after restart. After the file-on-card method got me nowhere (file was not recognized), I tried the high road and installed ROM-Manager. This complained about missing su. So I installed su. After that ROM-Manager downloaded CWM v5 and put it onto the card (into a file named update.zip - ahh... :-) ) On restart, the CWM-install-screen came up, then the v5 menu.

And after restart, it was gone again. Even ROM-Manager was confused: He showed v5 as "installed", when in fact it was still v4. ;-)

So finally I downloaded the Android SDK (to get fastboot.exe) and performed the flash as you suggested in the first place. And it worked. First try, without hitch, permanently. :-)

Thank you very much for your help!

Hey for some reason i have two voicemails stuck in the status bar. they will not go away, when i click to listen to them it goes to a voice mail then says invalid and some numbers and hangs up. is there any way i can get them out of my status bar. i have fully wiped my phone and installed a new rom and they still appeared back in my status bar.

thanks
[Nexus S General] rubyknight:
Did you ever switch over to Google Voice for voicemail? Sprint has a bug with voicemail that prevents you from listening to voicemail once you switch to Google Voice and then stop using it. Either check your Google voice settings and reenable voicemail there, or call Sprint and ask them to switch you back to their voicemail service.
[Nexus S General] andrewt328:
i recently got my nexus, and tried using sprint visual voice mail, and it didnt work, so i deleted it. and then that message got stuck up there and now i recently set up google voice, but its still suck idk what is going on with it.
[Nexus S General] stu5797:
I have an answer for you so please hit the thank you if this helps because I had this problem. Deactivate google voice for a minute and then dial your full phone number. (NO SHORT CUTS like holding 1 or *86)

This allows you to set up your sprint vm so you can delete the message. Once deleted hurry nd set up google voice.

Good luck!
[Nexus S General] andrewt328:
yea, how do i deactivate it? i tried signing out and then calling my number but it went to the google voice thing again saying i had no messages...
[Nexus S General] stu5797:
Sign into gv and click on settings. Then deactivate your account
[Nexus S General] andrewt328:
um thats not an option, it has sign out, which i did...but when i called it still went to the gv still for some reason...im not sure what to do...even before i signed up for gv the vm notifications were stuck in the bar
[Nexus S General] stu5797:
Try from your computer
[Nexus S General] andrewt328:
hey, it worked, thanks so much!
[Nexus S General] stu5797:
No problem! Glad i could help! Enjoy!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fraser1978:
I'm kinda stuck now. Ever since I installed cm7 rc5.3 I cannot install from sd card - anything. It cannot open any file when I try to install an update and only message is (BAD) Installation Aborted. Therefore when I tried to install rc5.4 I couldn't! :(

I don't want to flash through odin again cos thats the whole point of not having to wipe data etc on this new rom (hopefully). Before anyone asks, yes I have tried to unmount and unmount sd card and also toggled signature verification etc etc
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
try flashing cwm recovery 4.0 from odin it will not clear data maybe the new recovery by squadzone is not working for your device
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fraser1978:
You know whether this works or not, its a fantastic idea. I will try and let you know!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Fraser1978:
Well flashed cwm 4 through odin with no results, however I think I already had cwm 4 anyway cos couldn't install cwm 5 because of same installation problem. However now it has allowed me to install cwm 5 and after reboot recovery still this same message with rc5.4

Finding update package. . .
Opening update package. . .
E: Can't open /sdcard/update-cm-7.2-RC5.4-GalaxyMini-Release-signed.zip(bad)
Installation aborted

I'm gonna try and redownload. Perhaps the download waas corrupted halfway through. I tried through a different sd card and still no results.

Edit* Think I've found the problem. I knew something was up as soon as I visited the download page. The 2 file sizes were completely different so something happened with the first download of rc5.4 so hopefully now (fingers crossed) everything should be fine! =)

Edit2* However it's not all fine. When I downloaded, it only downloaded 95.2mb instead of 95.3mb and the last time it downloaded it only downloaded 33.9mb. Does anyone have the full file perhaps they can upload elsewhere?? Please, I've been waiting a week to flash this =(
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
so i think cwm is not responsible for the error the problem is you have not downloaded the package properly

ok to find the problem delete maket, youtube app and try to flash gapps package after mounting system and data if the package get installed then cwm is ok. and redownload the package
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] gb-Droid:
you can do

-wipe data

-wipe cache

-install zip from sd

-choose the zip of the CM7 rc5.3

then try to flash again the cm7 rc5.4
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] frazar:
Kilobyte differences may not mean a file is corrupted. Try comparing the checksums of the file with software like this:

http://www.novirusthanks.org/product/md5-checksum-tool/
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
your idea of checking md5sum is good but donot unestimate a single kb suppose if the update binary is not there then cwm will not install the package
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desiboy2010:
First of all my S2 usb port was not working...Now i have flashed ics 4.0.3 through Mobile Odin..But now the CWM recovery and mobile odin are not working..the apps are not working and i can not restore my mobile...Can any one give me a solution?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Phone requires working USB to flash stock via Odin

Or a working CWM to flash a Custom rom .

Or Mobile Odin to flash a stock rom .

If none of those work you can do nothing bar send it to a repair centre . However warranty is void as phone rooted and non Samsung rom you have to hope that they dont notice .

You might repair the USB port see previous posts .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Desiboy2010:
so the only solution is to replace the usb port...But one thing i didn't get is why the cwm recovery is not working??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
I like guessing games. My guess is that you don't have a kernel which comes with CWM recovery.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pma7779:
First off I have searched many threads in all of the DInc forums and have not found my issue.

I'm trying to root my friends DInc but I am running into a problem. I own a rooted Samsung Fascinate so I am somewhat familiar with rooting.

Back to the issue. I installed the modified drives on my computer for the DInc, downloaded unrevoked 3.22, and CW 5.0.2.0. The other 2 files, mini-adb inc & PB31IMG I can't download, multiupload isn't working.

I ran Revoked with CW 5.0.2.0, everything seemed to be fine. When Unrevoked finished the phone was in CWM (black with blue words). When I would try to do anything in CWM it would freeze. I restarted the phone and installed ROM manager and checked to see if it had SU Permissions. SU Permissions f/c's every time. I even tried to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery in Rom Manager which fails when it needs permission from SU.

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. Also do I need to have S-Off in order to downgrade? Even though I am still having problems with SU can I perform a downgrade. And lastly how can I get the mini-adb inc & PB31IMG for 2.2

thanks,

Justin
