wassup people im having a problem. i hope yall can help me out im trying to install clockwork 3.0 and im going by these instructions:

Rename the .img to recovery.img and have it on the root of the sdcard

Code:

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

reboot recovery

But everytime i hit enter after the second line. it says flash_image not found and i renamed the img and everything. i need help please!!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
Try using fastboot method.

Fastboot flash recovery (your location of recovery image)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ianmcquinn:
If you want to use this method, you have to make sure you have the flash_image binary to begin with (it's included in some of the custom ROMs). Otherwise you will need to download it.

EDIT: Quick search found this guide.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Young Christin:
Thanks man

...i can't seem to get this working.

it restarted the phone and got the red triangle. I rebooted the phone, opened rom manager, clicked flash clockworkmod recovery, clicked g2, then got something about having permission. I then click backup current rom and rename the file. My phones restarts on to the splahscreen and get the red triangle..again and again.

I installed cw and now when I turn my phone off to charge I plug it in and a couple seconds later it takes me to cw. Any ideas how to fix?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EfemaN:
Go to the ROM Manager settings and check the option for deleting the recovery. Reflash, retry. That's what fixed it for me.

Question: I've got a replacement G2 coming in the mail. With the backup created by Clockwork, can I just restore it on the replacement device and get the phone to the same state it is in now?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] countz3r0:
If you're not seeing G2 in the Rom Manager...

make sure you are on WIFI. The list updated correctly in Rom Manager when i got on WIFI..

Works great, thanks for the fast support!!!

The trackpad is way way too sensitive. It registers double clicks even when it's a single click. This seems dangerous. I don't know if or how this can be addressed. Anyone else having similar troubles?

Hi I get the message

Can't open /cache/recovery/command

But I can get into recovery, anyone else seeing this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Lol! same thing here... that's one nasty bug! I just decided to leave it on to charge, for now. at least the screen will go off while charging it powered on, unlike recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] KidJethro:
Excellent work on this! And thanks for doing it so quickly.

Anyways, I have a few questions. I flashed the recovery through fastboot. That went fine, I can access the clockwork recovery by booting to it. I used fastboot because I have maybe 1 bar of "G" and no wifi here. Guess I should go buy a wifi router...

Anyways, when I use the ROM Manager app and click "backup current ROM", it tells me "You must have ClockwokMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through Rom manager first." With the option to install or cancel. I can't install because of the no wifi or signal issue.

Am I missing something? I cleared cache and data, also tried un-installing and re-installing ROM Manager. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chibikit0:
Noob question: can this be used in temp-root first? I'm planning to make a backup of the ROM as-is before applying permaroot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
True root process doesn't erase anything so your good to go. after root, install Rom manager... flash clockwork using it and back up through Rom manager. nothing beats nandroid...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] stevepsycho:
I have a similar question. I cant get this method to work. I have purchased rom manager and have done all the steps but in the end I still end up with the red triangle. S one of my questions is . Do my G2 need to be fully rooted or does temp root work just as well? I am running Visionary for temp rooting my phone. Any help would be much appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] oldsk00lz:
Thanks Koush! Been a great day for the G2, and is awesome we got a custom recovery from you to top it off.

Any plans for a recovery console or psfreedom?

-oldsk00lz
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Of course you need full root, silly! BTW, I second that motion for a recovery console....
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cbmm:
thanks, that was painless
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chibikit0:
Thanks for answering my original question.

Alright, but what about changes/additions to the ROM? Basically, I'm trying to get an understanding for what the root method for our G2s actually does, because I'm trying to have a base ROM to fall back to if anything goes wrong. I tried flashing the ROM on an older WinMo phone and forgot to make a backup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
There is no backup for true root. if your method fails you can try again if you're lucky but if you mess up the final command... expect a brick. understand? nothing can fix a truly bricked device except maybe HTC...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shuka325:
This ROM already is set up for flahing images.

Did you name it recovery.img? If you did that is what is wrong. When the phone looks for it, it is seeing "recovery.img.img". On you sd card name it recovery, the .img will automatically be attached to it. Try it then.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] elracing21:
I know I have used the flash_image in terminal on my phone... I have cm6.1.1 so I'm assuming the binary is built into the rom lol. I tried it without even knowing to get cwm3.x.x

HTC Vision S-OFF CM6.1 Stable Oc'd to 1.5ghz on Pershoots Kernel :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ianmcquinn:
Which ROM are you talking about? Many of the custom ROMs like CM include flash_image by default. If you were still running like stock for example though, you would have to download the binary yourself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xl DIGITAL lx:
Virtuous too
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
It sounds like you don't have the eng hboot, which is needed for fastboot (assuming the phone has been put into fastboot mode).

Are you saying you can't flash the image ? Does the phone have S-OFF ?

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] GHOST99K:
yes in the boot loader the first line at the end said "S-OFF".i flashed CM 6.1.1 stable for him since it doesn't require CW 3.0.but he really wants CM7 which requires cw 3.0.any other way to flash 3.0 without adb?

I am having the same problem trying to backup Gingervillain 1.4 on my G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwardo:
Desrei Z won't boot into recovery

My Desire Z froze last night so I had to remove the battery to reboot it.

After putting the battery back in,

I can:

* boot to bootloader

* go to fastboot

I can't:

* Boot the phone (stuck at HTC boot logo)

* Boot into recovery (stuck at HTC boot logo too)

I have been Running Virtuous 0.9 + advaned kernel for 2 weeks now

Anyone have any brilliant ideas ?

When the phone froze I was doing a Titanium backUp of all apps+system data
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dwardo:
Well after googling a bit more I found a solution that worked for me:

Remove the battery and wait a few minutes before putting it back in and booting the phone...

I've also reproduced the system freeze (and eventually tested the remove battery solution twice ;-) ):

Freeze during a full system + app backup using titanium backup with usb debugging OFF

After getting to phone working again after this second freeze, I reactivated usb debugging and ran my backup without a glitch.

Has anyone encountered this before ?

I had shut off usb debugging as I read that it was security issue as if it was on, anyone adb savy could acces the phone even if locked.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jojo_16:
Can u backup with CWR 3.0.X.X?? I don't think no but correct me if I'm wrong..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
And flash_image. All links for both the latest cw recovery 3.x and flash_image do not work. I am running cm 6.1.1 but I would love to run cm7 again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
Yes, tis true if they grab your phone and hook it up to a PC.

Which is funny because HTC requires that USB debugging be on if you use HTC Sync.

So you can probably grab just about anyone's Desire Z or HD and break in.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ianmcquinn:
Which links did you try? Might want to have the OPs update them...

Working downloads of flash_image are in the flash_image guide I linked to a little above your post or on the CM Wiki (and other random threads if you search).

Working downloads of CWM3 are in the OP of the CM7 thread, the GingerVillian thread, this thread somewhere (and other random threads about Gingerbread).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Edit: Sorry guys, I meant to edit my last post as I found the recovery image from the blog link and found flash_image in the cyanowiki. But now:

I get errors when running

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Something about trouble scanning partitions. I placed both the flash_image and recovery.img onto the root of the sdcard.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ianmcquinn:
I don't think you can run flash_image directly from your SD card (the card is mounted as noexec by default). You need to copy the flash_image binary to your phone first. That's why the instructions you quoted said to push to the /system/bin directory. Not sure why they didn't say anything about that in step 1 though for people not using ADB...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fermunky:
Ugh, I get it. Flashed now, just had to do this from recovery since /system was read only. Mounted /system in recovery, push flash_image to the bin folder and ran instructions again and now I have a nice orange recovery menu. Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bobbydsiu:
Are there any instructions available on how to downgrade clockword mod recovery back to version 2.XXX? I flashed version 3 via fastboot last night to try the Gingervilian rom and turns out I preferred the CM6.1.1 more. I have tried searching but am not having much luck. Thanks alot..

Has anyone had any problems managing backups backing up and restoring them from rom manager in CM7 with clockwork 3.0.0.5 with the fix to shut the screen off? Each time I get a nightly it boots to recovery when it asks me to then it reboots and goes straight to the OS no recovery. Same thing if I try to backup a rom from rom manager it reboots but back to the OS.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chobie:
deleted. just back read :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PlatinumMOTO:
is that directed at my post because I read back and all I saw is people asking the same question but no definite answer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
I think that until Koush releases an "official" clockworkmod for CM7 you are not going to get the full functionality of ROM Manager. Its best to do all your flashing, backing up and restoring directly through the CWMod Recovery interface (3.0.0.5) for the CM7 nightlys. I quit using ROM Manager for right now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
It should be pretty soon,

I read a tweet from koush yesterday saying he would be releasing CWM 3.x.x.x offically very soon. He is just waiting for cyanogen to finish running some tests with it. So for anyone having trouble with CWM 3 you should see some official support here shortly....

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chris2busy:
will the official 3.0 version support both froyo and gb roms?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidcues:
i would venture to think yes --- it should be able to handle ext-4 partition and without.

i sincerely hope the new CWM lets us keep the phone in recovery when it is off and doesnt quash that "phone never turns off" bug which is frankly a feature. Without that - its going to be a pain in the ass to get to recovery when the phone is fully off.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
I totally agree with this %100. After the initial wtf is my phone still doing on when I turned it off, I really like it!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Pickx:
Or... you can just boot while holding the camera button and not piss off tens of thousands of casual users who just want to know why their phone is turning on against their will.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
I have a tiny question.

Does a nandroid backup include backing up a recovery image? Like let's say I flashed CWM 3.0.0.5, flashed CM7 and have a problem. My only backup was a 2.2 based ROM, and I do not have ENG HBOOT flashed so can't do fastboot commands.

I know that since ppl were saying that they can restore 2.2 ROMs on CWM 3.0.0.5 now, so technically CWM 2.5 wasn't restored. But wasn't sure since I've read that you can extract a recovery.img from the nandroid backip .zip.

And if I only flashed CWM 3.0.0.5, but did not flash CM7, do I boot into my current 2.2 ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
Quick answer, no. Nandroid won't backup/restore a recovery.

Question though .. with the latest CWM3.0.0.5 from ROM Manager (I only used RM to install it, lol. Boo RM) why would you ever need to go back to 2.5.1.x?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] joemm:
You dont, the new CWM 3.0.0.5 from rom manager supports all 2.2 and 2.3 Roms, no need to ever flash back to CWM 2.5.1.3, But you must flash the CWM 3.0.0.5 from Rom Manager for this to work, the previous 3.0.0.5 CWM recovery doesn't support both 2.2 and 2.3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] djfoo000:
Yeah the reason for my initial question was because I was unsure of how well CWM 3.0.0.5 works with 2.2 ROMs considering it's the first CWM 3 that supports 2.2 ROMs. Sry I'm a noob so please excuse my doubts.

So to make it clear (for the sake of understanding, considering the issue is now academic), the previous CWM 3 doesn't support booting 2.2 ROMs?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Correct; the CWM v3 that's available via ROM Manager works for both 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs, the previous CWM v3 (which wasn't available via ROM Manager) would only work with 2.3 ROMs
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arcance:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tvdang7:
3.0.0.5 correct?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Correct, but not the 3.0.0.5 from a week ago as it wasn't "official"; the one in ROM Manager is though and I can verify that it works with both Froyo and Gingerbread based ROMs
