Stock android 2.2.1

Rooted via SuperOneClick, superuser works, identifies ROM Manager

Rom Manager installed, flashed recovery

Boot into recovery mode via software and manual method, and they both go into the stock recovery menu so I can't make a backup.

Possible solutions from reading this 33 page thread:

-I've read that I'm supposed to delete two files, am I supposed download a file manager and delete these 2 said files?

- double check if my phone is rooted? (SU identifies RomManager and it was CONFIRMED to be rooted by SuperOneClick)

Any other suggestions?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
You need to delete those two files before rebooting your device (using either a file manager, or ADB.
[Nexus One Android Development] dornestic:
Tried this through file explorer apps (Amazon and astro) but wouldn't give me file permissions even though rootedne is rooted. Any other file managers I should try before trying adb?
[Nexus One Android Development] efrant:
You need to mount the system partition as r/w to be able to delete those files. Just because you are rooted, doesn't mean that partition is r/w. Use something like Root Explorer from the market. It allows you to mount a partition with one click.
[Nexus One Android Development] dornestic:
/system mount as r/w

/system/etc mount as r/w

Did as told through Root Explorer, the two files have been renamed successfully.

Thanks efrant!

Went back into ROM Manager, boot into recovery mode, still jumps into the stock android recovery menu...

Should I reinstall Clockworkmod and try again?

UPDATE: forget clockwork mod, just went with ADB
[Nexus One Android Development] canikeo:
Hi, I'm using a Cincinnati Blaze with the "official" 2.1 rom, rooted. Anyways every time I try to install from SD card it reboots into the stock android recovery.

I don't have the said 2 files any where, at least not where they should be and not where rootexplorer can find them so I don't know what to do.

Also every time I try to fastboot it just hangs at the CBW screen and Rom Manager won't let me flash an older recovery it just says "An error occurred while flashing your recovery"

Can anyone help?
[Nexus One Android Development] melmotion:
Is there a way to go back to main recovery screen after performing installs without using the power button?

My Nexus power button has stopped working so it would be nice to have the "reboot system now" command on every screen to click using trackball.

In the mean time I just remove and replace the battery a few times with the power cable plugged in to start it.
[Nexus One Android Development] applejosh:
IIRC, you can scroll through the menu a few times and a new menu item appears that is a previous screen choice. Haven't used it on a while, so I'm shaky on the details.

I was having problems backing up too, getting error messages about update.zip. I rebooted and renamed the left-over-from-something update.zip that was present in the internal SD directory and the one in the external SD directory each to update._zip, rebooted and then the "Backup Current ROM" from Rom Manager worked fine.

Vibrant?

Should this work on the J16 Vibrant? When I select "Download ROM" all I see is some stuff under "Extras".

Also the "Check for ROM Updates" entry says "Your ROM is not set up to receive OTA Updates. Please contact the ROM developer." This concerns me especially since I have not attempted to install any custom ROM yet.

Any advice appreciated.

Oh, I have OCLF installed. I rooted with it and turned on the Lag Fix and indeed it went like hell but I turned it back off for fear that it might interfere with the upcoming OTA Froyo update.

whenever I try a "wipe dalvik cache" from the recovery I get this error:

this phone did this trip:

- started with frf91 vodafone

- rooted using UniversalAndroot

- installed recovery manager

- installed clockwork recovery

- installed cyanogen 6.0.0 final

- upgraded to cyanogen 6.1.0 RC1

iirc it was never able to wipe the dalvik cache since the beginning...

a2sd or custom partitioning wasn't done...
[Nexus One Android Development] pastia:
Please help me out with this.

If i install a new firmware and decide i do not like it, how can i easily restore my backup ? (besides rooting the new firmware and then installing ROM Manager so that i can get the custom recovery)

I hope this was not already answered to in some other place.
[Nexus One Android Development] nicuro:
Pastia here...

I have found the answer. Maybe it helps somebody... So if you want to be able to go into clockworkmod recovery without ROM manager:

In the clockworkmod folder from the phone you can find "recovery-update.zip". Simply copy that to the root and rename it "update.zip". Then, you can boot into the normal recovery and select install update.zip witch takes you to the clockworkmod recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] JeepFreak:
This app is so well thought out and complete that I'm actually surprised to say that I have a feature request...

When asking if GApps should be downloaded, would it be possible to display the version number (file name)? I usually download updates with ROM Manager, but then flash them manually... if the GApps version hasn't changed, I don't need to copy it to a more convenient flashing folder (since I will already have a copy there).

Thanks for the awesome app,

Looked over most the pages, didn't see my question. Have asked it on other RM/CW forums and even emailed you a few months ago.

Will you ever include a more recent amon_ra recovery as your alternate. I use RM/CM exclusively, but amon_ra gives more flexibility on partitioning. IE over 512 and ext2 to 3. So I need to flash it occasionally. Would like latest version on RM if possible.

[Nexus One Android Development] :
Had this problem occur a couple times, but now seems permanent

Can not reboot into system from recovery, just get X logo

Running eVil's Desire HD and recently repartitioned to 1024 sdext 3

Last time it happened after the ext increase which I did with amon_ra, I was able to get out of recovery by wiping and reinstalling eVil's backup. Has not worked this time

Will try restoring a different rom. Did a fix permissions from recovery. If I get back to system will do one thru RM and maybe try booting into recovery thru a second app like quickboot, bypassing RM.

Ran a error test in recovery and just said tmp recovery log sent to sdcard, or something to that effect

All went well on repartition and rom was running well. Wouldn't think ext size is to blame unless RM doesn't support for some reason that escapes me.

Any help greatly appreciated, still stuck on X

[Nexus One Android Development] :
Update:

Did a wipe while in recovery and restored a differnet rom. It restored then said can't mount sd card something about the mtd block that it's file does exist but can't mount sdcard. It did then rboot into system and new rom.

Just did a fix permissions thru RM and will look at my sdext thru Quick System.

Seems nothing of new rom went on ext

So, now a backup made with the ext at 512 and restored to a 1024 one still thinks apps are on ext cause they won't open like music etc but are not there.

Went back and booted into recovery, bypassing RM and using Quick Boot to get to CW recovery. Restored eVil's rom that worked.

What do I make of this. RM at fault, if so why did I have same issue with amon ra. And do I have to reflash roms over again for them to work on new ext?

Any help?

[Nexus One Android Development] :
Well I see some versions go to 4gb. Other part of question still on table.

Question now is I can't always boot into recovery thru Rom Mgr with version 2.5.1.0 or reboot into system.

Changed to 2.5.1.4, the latest showing in the "All Recovery's" option. But when I flash Clockwork thru RM it defaults back to 2.5.1.0. Have had the paid version for a long time. Which is the right one to be using and why if I flash the latest it reverts back to 2.5.1.0.

Did notice after flashing 2.5.1.4 I had to go in and check Advanced. If I did not have that checked in 2.5.1.0 (I always do) would it keep me from going into recovery.

Just did a bu with 2.5.1.4 and again could not reboot into system. Do I have a bad recovery and how to fix.

Sorry if this was already addressed.

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] D200P13:
hmm i dont know what is the official version. i got 2.5.1.4 recovery but the rom manager says 2.5.1.0 is the latest but the official website says 2.5.0.1

Thanks DP

Confusing to me.

And what's up with the new "Warning" when I start RM. Says I have rooted my phone, voided my wty, and RM will send info to Google, Must tap OK to use RM.

Are they protecting themselves or helping Google in identifying rooted phones?

User Manual?

I know that documentation has become passe following Microsoft's lead but a user manual would be greatly appreciated. It should explain what it does when you ask it to do something (anything) as well as how to do the things it is capable of.

A great perspective for the manual's author would be the assumption that this is one's first exposure to rom and boot management.

So Im not quite sure about this ROM manager... I installed .. installed clockwork recovery with it ... tried to back up and phone instantly rebooted into recovery with basically no options .. I go into manage backups and there is nothing in there .. I try reboot into recovery and clockwork does not pop up at all .. All I have are factory recovery options ... Is it perhaps i picked the wrong clockwork to install...? I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant GT-i9000m from BELL Canada... ive tried both clockwork for vibrant and i9000... both dont work ... so is this program useless to me because it doesn't support the ooo .... 20 different freeking galaxy Ss out there?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Restorer:
Could someone please explain a few things about how wiping works for me.

1. Does doing this achieve what ROM authors call a Full Wipe: from "Mounts and Storage" menu run format boot, format system, format data, format cache. From "Advanced" menu run Wipe Dalvik Cache.

2. Back in the main list, if everything is already wiped as above, is it necessary to also do "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"? What do these two do that isn't included in the above formats or is it just double insurance?

3. If you chose the option from within ROM Manager "wipe data and cache" I assume this will not be full wipe? i.e. no boot partition or Dalvik cache wipe?

I just downloaded this today and used the recovery. The recovery works. I back-ed up my current system with no errors. Then I tried downloading and installing Cyanogen from this utility.

However, I started it into recovery again and tried loading up the back-up. An Incorrect md5 checksum is what I got in return. Any advice on what I can do?

When I ulocked with unrevoked, Clockwork Recovery was installed as part of that painless process. Now I've installed Cyanogen, and Rom Manager is inlcuded. However, when I start the Rom Manager app and try to anything(like check for Cyanogen updates) it tells me I must first install Clockwork Recovery.

I do not want to hose my already working setup. Will reinstalling Clockwork via Rom Manager mess me up since I already have Clockwork Recovery courtesy of Unrevoked?

reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery hangs.....

On Droid Pro, Froyo, rooted with Z4, I have installed DroidX Recovery Bootstrap v1.0.0.5, and ROM Manager Premium v3.0.0.7. In ROM Manager the request to flash ClockworkMod Recovery gives choices for DroidX and Droid2, not Pro. Flashing one gives ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7, the other 2.5.0.8. Both appear to install in Pro ok. But, upon attempting to reboot into recovery, in order to do a nandroid backup, using either v. of ClockworkMod, either from ROM Manager "Reboot into Recovery", or using DroidXBootstrapper "Reboot Recovery" (after successful run of "Bootstrap Recovery"), the same non-event happens. The Pro shuts down, the reboot Motorola M logo appears for a while, and then the screen goes into the almost black, twilight gray sort of backlighted mode and just stays there. No further action. An ordinary battery remove-replace soft reset reboots the device to the normal operating state with nothing changed. Have tried several times, same result. Any experience or advice with this? Much appreciated - JM

SOLVED. Droid 2 Bootstrap works fine on my Droid Pro, whereas Droid X Bootstrap did not. JM

[Nexus One Android Development] tonyx3:
Is there a way to tell ROM Manager to flash several zips in a row before rebooting, without doing it manually in recovery?

My specific situation is I need to flash the CM7 nightly, DT's apps2sd, and the T-mobile Wifi calling app. At least the first two of those need to be flashed before the phone reboots, and it would be nice to do all three.

Currently I have to manually reboot into recovery and flash each one in succession. That works, but defeats the entire purpose of using ROM Manager.

Am I just missing a setting somewhere, or is this feature not supported??
[Nexus One Android Development] :
I never boot into recovery with rom mgr. I use Quick Boot from market. You may try booting into CW thru another avenue, not sure if that will help. I now use Amon_Ra and that option is there. You can flash AR thru the rom mgr's main menu. It is an option two-thirds of the way down. When done, you can flash CW again if you want.

Only issue is if you back up with CW or AR, use that one to restore with.

ken
[Nexus One Android Development] tonyx3:
I must not have communicated clearly enough. That wasn't my question.

I can boot into recovery from a variety of places (quickboot, CM7 shutdown menu, manually by holding the trackball, etc). That's not my issue.

What I wish ROM Manager would do is allow me to queue up 3 zips to flash, then it would flash them automatically at once, without a reboot in between.

So in my case I would tell it:

1- nandroid backup

2- wipe

3- flash CM7 nightly zip

4- flash DT's apps2sd zip

5- flash Wifi calling zip

6- reboot as normal

I have to do those steps every time I flash a new ROM, so ROM Manager doesn't do me much good right now. I love the concept, but I need it to do this.

Unless I'm mistaken, it can currently only do a backup, wipe, and flash a single zip, using ROM Manager to set it up.

Of course I can do it manually from any recovery, CWR or AR.

What I want is for ROM Manager to do it for me, so I don't have to.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
OK, Sorry

RM was a long time ago for me. But, I thought it had a queue. Maybe no more.

Amon allows you to flash rom, then when done it goes back to flash another zip and so on

CW may do the same

So, maybe there is no queue option in either
[Nexus One Android Development] Jason Syn:
Just installed your recovery and I found a couple blaring problems.

It doesn't have any on-screen instructions to go back or any directional commands at all. Not very intuitive.

Backup doesn't show any inclination that it's working so I have no clue if it's done, hung up or what.

MountSD doesn't work, I select it and it just goes back to the main menu.

When selecting a zip to flash it doesn't let me flash a zip on the root of the SD, they have to be in a folder. Lame.

Going back to the land of the Carebears...
[Nexus One Android Development] m00moo:
i've also reverted back to RA Amons recovery. I didnt really like the fact upon click trackball there is no warning and would just perform the selected task, in this case i chose backup to test and as jason mentioned, I had no idea the progress on the backup. Didnt bother trying the rest out but good to know the source is available for anybody to potentially tweak and release.
