my fast boot isn't showing a way to flash the cwm recovery 3. I placed the recovery image on the root of the sd card. Reboot into fast boot but the selection to flash a new recovery.img isn't showing. Any ideas other than just pushing it through adb?

sent from my: hTc G2, it's only a phone via xDa app.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] donkey72:
Try this: (fastboot requires that you have adb setup, and would be something like fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, from your computer)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] gravis86:
That's not how you flash throught fastboot... it doesn't work like CWM.

To flash through fastboot you need to be connected to a computer and type through the terminal on the computer.

I don't have the screen off animation. Is there any way for me to enable that or did I do something wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] klmsu19:
Its removed for now until cyanogen can fix it. Was causing phone not to turn back on when in sleep with power button
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selectodude:
Yes, that could be considered a pretty serious issue. Thanks for the heads up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
That FM radio thing was pulled/abandoned. Now , its still in my repo. No idea how to revert it hehe. repo sync doesn't delete it.

ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
should be fine if you just delete it off your system and repo sync again for good measure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:

lol yeah it just kept finding new things to choke on no matter what I got rid of...

My buildbox is pretty quick at these so I'm just clearing the whole tree and pulling a fresh init, might take an hour but it's better than bothering with the damn radio files :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
Found a way. Just rm -rf //packages/apps/FM

and run a repo sync -j 8.

Should fix up your git.

Trackpad wake works fine for me in Build #29.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jboy15:
yes i did but i flashed build #29 it works,

but then when i flashed the gapps it doesnt work. even thought it says installation complete
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] -RotorDemon-:
Just flashed Clockwork 3.0. Mounted my SD card and copied the files over. Flashed the ROM and GApps. Noticed #29 is out and rebooted into recovery and mounted the SD card to copy the files over and it will not unmount.

Rebooted and it still says unmount. I hit it and it returns to the screen before. Wash rinse repeat. Tried reflashing Clockwork and still the same. It will not unmount the SD Card.

Hot off the presses, Gingerbread may be getting even more tweaks with a rumored 2.4 release:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/06/android-2-4-gingerbread-breaks-loose-on-a-prototype-sony-ericsso/

If this is true, it would be interesting to see how easily dovetailed the new stuff will be to Gingerbread I... maybe easily since the rumor mill seems to think that even being a 2.4 release it will still carry the Gingerbread name? Here's hoping!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Hot_Hands:
2.0 and 2.1 were both Eclair so it's not unprecedented.

Thanks to TL
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
To be honest, the way Android versioning is going right now is a bit worrying to me.

- There are antiquated releases still floating around on phones that will never get updated.

- Two stable (but now outdated) versions inhabit the bulk of devices, most of which will never get updated.

- A brand new version now officially exists on one single device.

- A version supposedly meant just for tablets has been inexplicably shoved forward on the same numeric tree, instead of branching off on its own.

- And now the possibility of a full versioning for what should probably just be an OTA update.

And people wonder why bigger app-makers haven't started bringing their content to Android.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
When should we expect rc1? I'm nervous to try rc0, also not sure how to since the only ROM i've used, I got from ROM manager. Installing cm7 seems much more difficult. Will I be able to download cm7 rc1 from ROM Manager?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
...I'm sure you'll be able to, in time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
RC0 is not even out yet officially. we are just building from src to give the masses a nice treat. So for rom manager. I think you got awhile to go. because it doesnt even support 3.0 yet
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Aww. I've been reading around various places which seem to think rc1 was coming soon, which is why I've been holding off. Guess I should give rc0 a crack. Are there any guides for noobies on installing recovery 3.0 and cm7? Is it possible to do without use of a computer?

P. S. Kudos on the fast response time.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
This is NOT the usually sarcastically-toned response that it sounds like (or that I would normally give), so don't take offense when I say: Read this thread!

I mean it, read the whole thing. I know it's a lot at over 140 pages now, but if you go through from the beginning, you'll see all the problems that people have had, you'll know about the bugs that exist, and you'll know the solutions to any problems that crop up along the way. RC0 is far more stable than one would expect for something that's, well, RC0 -- but you'd still be flashing an entirely unsupported ROM on your phone, so you'll want to know about everything that's happened up until now.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
I'm aware of the problems. I've been reading through, observing, waiting for mention of rc1. However, everyone that posts here knows a lot more than me and therefor, when they give instructions on how to do a certain thing, I don't know what they're talking about. Most of the time this is the case.

I tried following the instructions on how to install it, unfortunately I don't know what some of the stuff means.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shadowofzeus:
Well the best way to learn to is to do it. We human-beings learn better from doing and being force to figure things out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Well which parts are giving you trouble?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Well alright, thanks anyway. I won't flood the thread with my noobsense :P
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
Coming from 6.1 to this I can honestly tell you the only difference I see is the lack of battery percent and setting your phone # in call settings. The rom is smoothe as butter and now that trackpad wake works I haven't looked back. You can always revert back by reflashing the old cwm and nandroiding. Take the plunge imo!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] mattseg:
New Clockwork is now available in market BTW. With the new version can you go back & forth between cm6 and 7beta?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Well the fastboot part. A friend said it had something to do with the computer but didn't really explain how to do it. Also, to flash, means to...? (In less technical terms). As I've said i've only installed via ROM Manager and never had to "flash" anything. Unless i've done it and not known it was called flashing lol.

If nobody has time for this, I understand. This probably isn't the best place to ask such novice questions.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
Read the instructions on the op's post. You have to mount system and data flash gapps then fix permissions. That will get it to work. Good luck
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
You can flash via terminal as well. Put the cwm img in the root of your sd then type

Su

Mount -o rw, remount /system

Flash_image recovery /sdcard/name_of_img.img
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
What is different with this recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
OK, for starters, when you installed CM 6.1 through ROM Manager, you "flashed" it. It's just the term used for writing data on the flash memory of these devices.

Fastboot is a tool that you install on your computer, like adb (which you probably also don't know much about). Fastboot is used to flash things directly onto the phone from your computer through USB, and it does it while the phone is running a bootloader. This is important because you don't run a bootloader, you boot the phone directly into it, so it's kind of like a safety net (you can always boot into the bootloader and use Fastboot if you flashed a bad ROM or recovery).

The problem with Fastboot is that you can't use it unless you followed the second (somewhat optional) section of the Vision Unlock/Root wiki page. If you already did all those steps, and know that you've installed the HBOOT engineering bootloader, then you are able to use Fastboot (which you can get direct from HTC).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
I did the root and S-OFF thing. I know how to get into the bootloader where the fastboot option is on my phone. I tried clicking on it and it just gives me 4 options (bootloader, reboot into recovery, reboot, power off). That's when I asked my friend how to run fastboot/what it was. He told me it's to do with the computer.

You're right about me not knowing much about ADB. My friend help me all the way through all that. I was fortunate enough to meet somebody patient enough to work it through with me.

A few posts up somebody said I can do this without a computer? Just using my phones terminal?? Awesome! How would I go about doing that? What exactly would I write? I've downloaded the CM7 aswell as recovery.img. (I know he wrote the commands for me to write, but do I write each line or do I write everything he said as one line?) Could you, or anyone else just tell me what exactly I need to write in terminal? I've copied both CM7 and recovery.img to the sdcard. I didn't place them in any folder.

Thanks a lot primitage for your help. =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
No problem, but those lines from above weren't exactly right. It would be

su
mount -o remount,rw /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Where "recovery.img" should be the exact filename of the recovery .img file on your sdcard. Those lines go in one at a time, so be sure to enter one line, then hit enter, then the next line, etc.

Then you'd reboot the phone into recovery, where you'd choose "install zip from sdcard," followed by "choose zip from sdcard" and then the ROM zip file (and finally confirm with YES when asked).

Can someone plz tell me step by step what to do? I really like this rom so far but i cant live without the gapps, and i am not that into adb. and stuff. I flashed cm7 with clockwork. I do have s-off.

thanks in advanced

flashed build #29 ... no problem

flashed gingerbread-gapps-12302010.zip

apps werent installed.... any help on this?

** nevermind... thorough reading of thread helped... all good now!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Untouchab1e:
I read earlier in this thread that this wont work well with Nordic Desire Z's due to the hardware keyboard layout being different and supposedly the touch screen buttons wont work either? This is the case on the froyo roms too, but there are fixes out that sorts it out, but Im under the impression they dont work with this ROM?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
What they meant was, in ClockworkMod Recovery, you have to mount both /system and /data before you flash the Gapps zip.

To do that, reboot the phone into recovery, then scroll down and select "mounts and storage" -- the first two lines are the ones you want to click. They'll say

mount /system
mount /data

When you click them they should change to

unmount /system
unmount /data

Then, press either the power button or the back button (which does work) to go back one menu, and from there choose "install zip from sdcard," then "choose zip from sdcard" then your Gapps zip.

Some people have needed to do the extra step of fixing permissions afterwards. To do that, AFTER installing the zip, go back to the main menu and go to "advanced." At the bottom of the next menu you'll see the option to "Fix Permissions."

After all is done, go back to the main menu again, and choose "reboot system now." If you used a good Gapps package and did everything right, you should boot into a very Googley environment after about a minute.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
So I opened terminal and typed everything you said, nothing happened. No error message l, no confirmation. So I reboot into recovery and it says I still have 2.5. Could I be overlooking something? I downloaded the latest recovery which was posted a few posts back and I changed the name to recovery.img

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] weetabix1980:
thanks a lot for you wonderfull explanation, did everthing but mounting /system failed for some reason. it says: Error mounting SYSTEM:!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
I don't know what recovery.img you flashed, did it say it was supposed to be 3.0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
What version of recovery are you using? A lot of the newer ones are buggy and shouldn't be used at all. You should just stick with 3.0.0.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
The one I just tried was from xdafiles.net/rchp/ and it was uploaded today. Its called recovery-06012011-TL.img its on the bottom of that list

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Err, so why doesn't the market work? I remember seeing something in the thread about the market not working for somebody or something. Just can't remember where and I don't want to go through everything to find it. My market just keeps force closing. Is that normal for the rc0?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Fortunately I have an alternate app store. SAM 4.0. Sure would like the old Market back though. =)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
If you're coming from an earlier ROM (pre-CM7) you really should wipe data/cache/dalvik cache before installing. The market (and other Gapps) will force-close if they're in conflict with pre-existing versions and their data.

Have you been using Titanium Backup to keep backups of any apps/info that you want safe?

...Well, assuming you are, you'll want to go back into recovery and do a 'wipe data/factory reset.' then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then reinstall CM7 and do the Gapps again like you did last time. That way when you boot into the new CM7 install, everything is brand new and fresh, and ALL your Gapps should work perfectly.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
There aren't any apps I necessarily "want safe" I have majority of the apps I want already due to not wiping. Question, how do I wipe date/cache/dalvik? That's all done through recovery, right? I was orginally running MIUI when you first began helping me, I wiped data then I switched to CM6.1.1 (I made a backup of MIUI). Upon installing CM6.1.1 it recovered most of my apps. I then installed CM7 without wiping.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
Sorry, I realized you might ask that but I had added it to the last post a bit late.

"you'll want to go back into recovery and do a 'wipe data/factory reset.' then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then reinstall CM7 and do the Gapps again like you did last time. That way when you boot into the new CM7 install, everything is brand new and fresh, and ALL your Gapps should work perfectly."

But don't expect your apps to magically reappear this time. That was because of using Rom Manager and a bunch of automation. This time it's up to you!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
In recovery; I see the option to wipe dalvik, wipe cache partition and I see "wipe data/factory reset", that's what I want to do?? wipe data/factory reset? Will this remove root and/or S-OFF? I don't like the words "factory reset" haha.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] primatage:
It does not remove root, it only wipes /system, /data, /cache, and a small android file on the sdcard. /cache is not the same as dalvik cache, which is why you have to go into advanced afterwards to do that too.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Well shoot. I hope you don't bash me for this because I saw another guy ask this very same question a few posts back and he was told to basically find it himself. But where do I find the latest Gapps for my G2? Could you provide a link? How do I install it? I feel bad just asking, knowing you're probably frustrated just seeing me ask. Sorry aha.

I just get a little worked up when playing with things such as these and I get nervous, thinking I'm going to good something up. Download the wrong thing, do something I'm not supposed to do. So to prevent this, I try getting step-by-step help.

Again, thanks a lot for this.

read my first instructions where I said how to flash them, in recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rUsTyRuSs:
In recovery go to mounts and storage. Mount /system and /data. Then go to install from sd card. Choose zip. Go to the gapps .zip. flash. Then go to advanced fix permissions. Reboot and there you go
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
All is well! Thanks! I got on my PC so I could thank you and the other Guy that provided the gapps link. I was posting a reply just now and it said my entry was too short to post even though it was a long reply. Haha so back to the phone to post my reply.

So far all is working, including the market so I think I should sleep now that we've got this working. Thanks again. Goodnight
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
I didn't even do all that. I just went into recovery and installed zip from SD, all seems to be ok. Have I screwed up?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dictionary:
If it worked then you're good. The mounting of system and data was a precaution due to the older recovery versions. If it's working for you (it works for me as well without mounting those) then no need to worry.

Thanks Gridlock, Cyanogen, and everyone here for all your amazing work.

I had been running build 26, but switched back to cm6.1 yesterday because I was having some hardware keyboard issues. In some, but not all, input fields, when I would type a letter, it would launch an app ... I think "s" would launch google search, and "k" would launch something else. I feel like I was missing something obvious. Any ideas what that might be? Go easy on me, I'm a veterinarian, so I can fix the hell out of living things, but I'm slower with gadgets ;)
