I didn't time it, but it was much longer than usual..enough for me to pull the battery. I just tried doing a backup via ROM Manager again and this time it stayed on the splash screen for about 8 seconds and now CWM is in the middle of a backup. We'll have to see what happens after more time/reboots.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
yup same here... it takes a bit of time compared to 3.0.2.4 to get into recovery from HTC splash screen ... but it goes there .... only time will tell if it hangs like 5.0.1.0 or not .....

last time when i was on that it was working fine till i went into it and used superwipe G2+ after the reboot it got stuck on htc splash and was not going into recovery and i didnt even have eng hboot so no fastboot commands (manually reflashing old CWR) .... i tried battery pull and power on > bootloader >recovery 5 times .... it stayed stuck 4 times but got through 5th time .....

needless to say Eng hboot is a must for using these new recoveries :D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
Version 5.0.2.0,downloaded through ROM manager, restarted to recovery and made a backup,so far so good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kowal_001:
The newest recovery downloaded by rom manager. Boot into recovery without problems, made a backup without problems, reboot system also without any problems. Everything is working like a charm :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
i'll check it out, it usually got stuck after a few tries...we'll see

edit: flashed recover, rebooted in recovery, did a backup, rebooted cm7, rebooted again in recovery but never got there, stuck at htc logo. back to 3.0.2.4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] trsanning:
Same here. First time worked, second time a no go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
means we still have the issue ... well it was worth the shot .... and we know that koush is aware of the issue ... hopefully an update to address this will come soon

i'm having issues flashing roms with this latest clockworkmod

it boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, install the rom, i'll get the white htc screen for about 5 seconds, then it will restart and boot into recovery again

what's causing this issue? never had it before with my old g2

(phone is rooted, s-off, hboot)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
go back to 3.0.2.4
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sterz85:
where can i get it from?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
rom manager, last option
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sterz85:
tried this, flashed virtous unity, still having the same issue

here's the info when i go into bootloader

vision pvg eng s-off

hboot-0.76.2000 (PC1010000)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
That should work but in my case it tells me "No legacy recoveries found.". Hope this is fixed soon.

Kirby
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sterz85:
i think for some strange reason the roms aren't installing because it keeps restating and booting into recovery

it would do that if no rom was installed, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Nope...it would hang. Something is triggering the recovery mode.

Have you tried flashing hboot (along with clockwork and the radio) over again to see if this issue will go away? I would guess that might fix your issue.

FWIW I have had ZERO issues with the latest clockwork.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
Give it time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Been on it since it came out...no issues yet. Keeping my fingers crossed!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
If you need it... I can post and you can flash it through fastboot or terminal emulator.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] revwillie:
I've held off trying any CWM v 5 recoveries.

is 5.0.2.0 stable?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
No issues here....still.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rkwhyte2:
Thanks for the offer I'll keep it in mind but at this time I'm just waiting for the nightly's to start back up.

Kirby
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Now that the nightlies are back up, anyone try flashing with 5.0.2.0? I have been hesitant to flash any v5's since the first two trashed my device :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JassyNL:
I've 5.0.2.0 on my phone and its working flawless.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] burtcom:
It froze for me, after working just fine with 186.

We are still having a problem with this, koush :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Recovery 5.0.20 often causes my phone to get stuck in the splash screen. In many occasions, I have to pull out the battery to reboot the phone. I hope the team will fix this problem soon
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Just wait for it, it will eventually get stuck at HTC splash screen like for everybody else :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jkayser:
Same here :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
It finally happened to me...went to update to 204 last night and got stuck at the htc splash screen. Rebooted into bootloader and it didn't even give me the option to reboot into recovery (WEIRD!). So yeah back to 3.0.2.4.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ChronoReverse:
Same problem as everyone here.

Is there anything we can do to help troubleshoot this bug? Is there some equivalent to a logcat we can run?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mikeybot:
I'll just jump in with a 'me too'. Managed to flash a nightly 2 days ago and was able to boot into recovery earlier today to do a battery stat wipe, but just went to try to boot into recovery to flash tonight's nightly and nope. Froze at flash screen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I'm pretty sure it's a lost cause for us; I've messaged Koush via every means asking for an ETA and have gotten no response.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
thats because everytime you or someone like you (me) tell koush about this bug there is always some smart ass replying to him within minutes saying" ohhh i have been using CWR 5 since it came out on G2 or desire Z and i never had any problem ... great work koush ... blaaa blaaaa blaaa" and usually those smart asses dont flash as often so they dont get the error weeks after the first installed it...

so thats pretty much the reason he is not focusing on our problem
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Mine got stuck several times at the HTC boot screen (had to also pull battery) , so I did some researching for a solution, which I came across 4EXT Recovery. They have a free version available to try. It's your answer until they fix this bug.

EDIT: here's the link...

You know, since I've been using this different recovery, im growing partial to it over CWR.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Hot from Koush's twitter:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dannejanne:
Worse than ever. Newest version freezes EVERY time for me. Last version has not hung on me so far after using it about 10 times. Switched back.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
same here... btw try 4ext recovery .... its a different level of recovery.... i think i have found my permanent replacement for CWR..... link was given a few posts before mine
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
If any of you use Rom Manager for the updates (nightlies) or anything else, and you also use 4EXT Recovery (because CWR hangs on HTC screen). To stop Rom Manager from continuously reminding you of a recovery update available, simply just flash the new CWR update, then re-flash 4EXT Recovery.

This is what I do.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] a66fm:
+1 switching back to previous version:confused:

and moved to 4EXT too :-)

I flashed back to cwm 3.0.2.4 and it stops most of the time and i cannot flash my nandbackup back from cwm 5.

Does this 4ext work with rom manager too?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
What stops all of the time?If needs must reflash cwn 5 reboot to recovery(should not hang everytime),restore your backup then back into rom manager downgrade to version 3 then reboot to recovery and make a backup with version 3

4ext should be compatible with backups made with CWN although haven't tested it myself,very impressed with 4EXT,good alternative to CWM
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Raul^:
Ive used 4ext recover and everything went smooth.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BookCase:
I am now using 4EXT Recovery after suffering with major hangs on CWM reboot and sending emails to Koush and getting 0 responses. I'm a paying customer, I demand better treatment and more respect than that! No changelogs before or after updating anything on CWM. Then, to be spammed instead and still no response is just annoying. You ain't better than me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Look on the bright side, at least he didn't call you "children" like he called a few of his paying customers on Twitter the other day.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Is it just me, or has the version 5 CW been pulled now by Koush ? My ROM Manager is now telling me that the latest version is the v3 that I am already running.

I am hoping this means he's working on the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kusuriurikun:
It actually was pulled a few days ago (I want to say around 24-25 September), probably because the 5.x.x.x builds (and especially the latest) were...sort of disastrous. Probably a good thing too, because it was starting to get people to worry whether there would be a good post-3.0.2.4 CWM recovery (and there were and are folks who've gone to alternative recoveries as a result).

Even though I've gone to an alternative recovery (4EXT) I'm honestly hoping that they can get the unwellness sorted out with the newer CWM recovery; I like the option of multiple choices out there, and improvements in CWM do help the alternative recovery makers (and, one would hope, vice versa). It's kind of like whether one uses stock CM7 versus a tweaked version (such as ILWT (more customisable) or MeXdroid or whatnot), whether one uses a stock kernel or a performance kernel, etc. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
5.0.2.0 seems to be back again, oh well ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Maybe because:

via @clockworkmod

for those who want to give CWM another chance... however at this point I'm not sure why anyone would use CWM over 4EXT :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
From some posts in the CM nightly thread, it looks like Koush released a 5.0.2.6 version, but my ROM Manager isn't showing that, so I wonder if that got taken down again ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Herrera91:
Yea, I just flashed it again a few moments ago...and still stuck at the splash image :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
New thread just started by koush on the 5.x issues ...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
Gave CWR another go. Still HANGS in HTC boot!!!! Going back to 4EXT.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Seeing a lot of disrespect and anger in this thread, and I'm not entirely sure where it's coming from.

You all DO realize how many devices he supports, right? If not, here's the list:

http://www.clockworkmod.com/recovery_images.html

You're paying for ROM manager, not ClockworkMod (which is... free). If you're fed up with getting stuck at the logo, fall back to 3.0.2.4, until he sorts the problem or use 4EXT.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
I totally agree with you
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
You're not sure where its coming from?

He released v5 as stable, RM nagged everyone to update it and what happened? For the lucky ones, they got a screen hang; for others (like myself) it trashed my system during backup causing me to have to revert to an extremely old back up.

Yes, those that paid, paid for RM; but RM relies (to an extent on CWM) and the "official"/"stable" version of CWM broke peoples devices and what happened when folks asked for some type of input? Nothing, nothing happened ... a very simple "I'm working on it, should be fixed shortly" would have sufficed. Instead, he said nothing and then re-released v5 only for it to again fail people.

So yeah, that's where peoples negativity is coming from.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tun4f1sh:
Everything you just said makes sense, and I don't necessarily disagree with you. However; you did click "I accept" the first time you opened ROM manager. He warned you :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
Guys koush posted another update for recovery 5.0.2.0 as potential fix of the hang issue. anyone tried it?

This came 6 hours ago from his tweeter feed. This is newer than 5.0.2.6 despite the version number
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] androidtoy09:
Ok, that sounds good. Hopefully he fixed it but i'm still reluctant to try it out. I’ll wait and see response from others brave people :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Haven't had any problems flashing with v5.. Flashed about 3-4 roms already.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Same here, seems like all is well. Upgraded to v5 tonight and have booted into recovery numerous times and flashed the newest nightly fine.

On another note, its great to see how people start complaining over one glitch on clockwork which has worked perfectly for the last year that I've had my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
You'd complain too if the "one glitch" wiped your system before you were able to make a backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mrbmg:
Seems that would be rare. Plus, why wouldn't you back up on a working version before you upgrade..

I think everyone is so addicted to flashing and upgrading they forget the basics. I froze probably ten times before I said, well this isn't working, and downgraded.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
And in my case it froze once, I pulled the battery and my entire system was wiped. I've since moved on to another recovery until Koush releases a stable v5 as opposed to having his paid customers be his test subjects.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Paid ? ClockwordMod is a free product. I think you are confusing the paid version of ROM Manager with ClockwordMod.

issue with 5.0.2.7

hi i flashed the latest cwmr 5.0.2.7 and noticed that my g2 will not turn off when i turn it off while its pluged into charger or usb it just boots up into recovery, also when the phone is off and i plug it in to charge it boots me to recovery.... what gives :confused: .... i fashed back to cm3 and everything was fine.. 5.0.2.0 powers off fine no issue other then the once in a blue hang up (but em keeping this version).. 5.0.2.6 same issue as 5.0.2.7 ....... is anyone experiencing this issues with .2.7?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
FWIW, you might want to give another Recovery a shot.... 4EXT... built from CWM... Madmaxx provides great support in his Recovery thread. See my signature for the link.

oh ok thanks ill give it a look ..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] d@rklink:
I just updated to CWM 5.0.2.7 yesterday and did some testing to see if I could reproduce the issue. After the update I was able to power off my phone while charging as well as power off then connect my charger and had no issues. Did you flash the new recovery through ROM Manager? That's how I updated it and haven't had any issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
I'm on 5.0.2.7 and I can power off fine while charging. However, if the phone is already off and charging, when I turn it on it seems to boot straight to recovery - I only noticed this when I tried just now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] arsonist63086:
Yeah I flashed all the recoveries I tested thre rom managet and mor then once just to make sure it wasn't a bad flash or down load. The boot into recovery doesn't happen right away it happens one the orang/green charge led comes on ..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] damien667:
Let it sit there for a minute... my screen turned off eventually after like 2 minutes while in recovery in off-mode... it looks like a new feature!

a friend of mine is getting this error at recovery I think he broke something. http://img.donanimhaber.com/upfiles/258126/B48468FFA6A949DF8958F21E4A0D6BDA.jpg

He cant boot normally it is stuck at HTC logo and recovery gives error when he wants to flash a new cm7 from sdcard.

anyone know what this is and how can we fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] J-Hop2o6:
Update (via Rom Manager) the newest CMW, it should be fine.. but if it gets stuck at the htc boot screen, just do a battery pull and try to boot into recovery again.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aresmar:
He cant boot to rom. He stucks but he can enter recovery. Recovery gives those errors tho.

If you have the engineering hboot, you can push the latest CWM (or 4ext which doesn't have that screen hang issue) recovery via fastboot

I'm going to repost a question I had earlier in the thread; it got lost in the masses.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] yostinso:
Busybox problems?

There seems to be something strange about my busybox install:

When I try to run it from the interface, it fails. When I look at rommanager.sh and try to run the DD like so, it also fails by giving me the busybox usage display:

busybox dd if=/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.1-vision.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 bs=262144 sync

This seems to be BusyBox v1.15.2; am I missing something? (I tried uninstall/reinstall of Rom Manager.) Note that both the .img and the mmc device exist (with an ls).

UPDATE: Ah, found it. For some reason, this version of BusyBox wants "conv=sync" not just "sync". I'm still not sure why busybox isn't getting installed in the Rom Manager "files" directory.

UPDATE2: This seems to be fixed in the most recent version of the G2 image. In fact, it's now "dd ... ; sync" not "dd ... sync"
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] paulzaplitny:
had issues installing like others. g2 not listed. tried everything in this thread minus the wifi cause i dont have it available yet. with a few issues people were having i knew an update would be coming out. checked the market and there it was. updated, cleared cache, enabled advance mode and rebooted. voila g2 listed and flashed recovery. everything works great now for me

Nandroid restores work fine on same type of device with the same rom. I've done it in the past with a replacement MTS and the same to unlock 20 or so Mototrola i930s using sprite backup.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EfemaN:
So even if the replacement will probably arrive pre-OTA and this phone has the OTA, it should work?

Another question: I'll need to revert the phone back to stock before I send it back for the replacement. I know downgrading via (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831398) takes the radio and FW to stock and S-ON, but does it also take the recovery back to stock? I don't know if they are tied.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:
you probably will have to flash the stock recovery, and PERHAPS even the stock hboot, though, that's scary. dont quote me either on that part. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JonInAtl:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] minotauri:

Not a big deal, but hopefully a fixed version will be released soon :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ikari2539:
Just so you guys know, the usb-charge going into recovery is something that also happens on the Aria. So far there is no fix there, as many people think that Clockwork somehow replaces the default battery charging screen.

However, we Aria users have trouble with Clockwork if entered by the above method. Usually changes don't work or errors out if we didn't enter Clockwork properly.

Just thought I'd share.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MetalMessiah78:
From what I've read in the Market comments, Koush doesn't do anything about fixing bugs, so looks like this will probably never be fixed on the G2 either. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate what he does, but for
