I tried calkulins 1.7.6 and manilla carbon this morning with the same result... Constant reboot before the splash screen, so I restored. I also tried changing to Ra recovery and same result.
[Captivate General] bb12489:
I just did an Odin 1 click to stock then proceeded to install rom manager after rooting and i cannot flash CWM recovery. every time i do it says there was an error downloading the recovery. is this a problem with just me or is it community wide? This is the same process I use every time to flash roms, and i can't think of anything i've done wrong this time around.

Can anyone confirm this? Im stuck on the stock captivate rom :( I really wanted to flash the gingerbread themed rom thismorning :/
[Captivate General] bb12489:
Also i flashed back to stock a second time and re-did the root, but still i'm getting the same error in rm manager that there was an error downloading the recovery....:(
[Captivate General] pyrplhaze:
just copy this update.zip to your internal sd, it'll apply clockwork recovery, bypassing the Rom Manager install. No need to rename or anything

1)copy update.zip to internal sd

2)reboot into recovery

3)select reinstall packages (or whatever it is...can't remember exactly, but you should know what I'm talkin about)

4)it'll reboot, then you'll have Clockwork Recovery, and can do whatever

hope this helps ya.

I've found it significantly time saving if, after going back to stock in preparation for a new flash, you just copy this update.zip and the rom file to your internal sd, then reinstall packages to get clockwork off this update.zip, then immediately from there, you can flash the new rom. Totally saves time of having to root the 2.1 install, download rom manager, flash the recovery, reboot, copy rom to sd, then install...cuts flash time in half, it seems
[Captivate General] bb12489:
Thank you so much! this worked for me :)
[Captivate General] diablo009:

For anyone and everyone seeing this post, this method is considered the best and the most non-intrusive way. And yet, it gives complete functionality in recovery mode.

glad I could help. happy flashing!

I have been running a couple of different roms for a while and lately my phone is shutting down at night when not plugged in and charging, and even during the day if not used for a couple of hours.... any thoughts why this is happening? Currently I am running axura 2.51 with stock+voodoo kernal. But I have used a couple of different kernals and does not seem to matter, it still does it.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nfin1te:
Hello!

I have a rather annoying problem on my Motorola Milestone (NOT a Droid) permrooted with z4root.

Software on Milestone:

Firmware 2.1-update1

Kernel 2.6.29-omap1

Build: SHOLS_U2_02.36.0

OS:

Vista 64bit

latest Motorola drivers (4.8.0)

At the Moment there's still the stock rom installed, I tried to install the CM-Port for Milestones.

That's what I did in order to accomplish my goal:

First, I installed Clockworkrecovery via Rom Manager.

Rom Manager said that it worked, it also tells me that the current recovery system is actually clockwork,

but when I boot into recovery mode with Power- and camera button, it says this:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=471603&stc=1&d=1293116205

Is this still the stock recoverysystem? (except from the error. What does this mean?)

I tried updating the rom to the Cyanogenmod-port from doshaska.

After starting update.zip, it says "EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD E:signature verification failed".

So I assume, something with clockwork hasn't worked correctly and the recovery/boot is still "protected"

I also now renamed the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file in order to prevent the phone from restoring the original recovery.

Then, I tried flashing a vulnerable sbf via RSDLite 4.6 in order to reflash another recoverysystem: openrecovery.

The problem here is, that the phone isn't recognized at all by RSDLite when it's booted into normal android OS (computer detects phone w/o problem), in recoverymode, it isn't recognized by the computer itself at all, nothing happens. As far as I know, there is no other way to flash a vulnerable sbf without RSDLite?

It's really weird, shouldn't the phone be recognized in recovery mode aswell? My Computer does _nothing_ when I connect the phone in recovery mode. No typical USB-plugin-sound, no nothing.

So, what can I do? I tried uninstalling everything, Drivers and HW found in device manager, everything. Like it has never seen a Motorola phone before, then reinstalled everything including reboots, but nothing changed.

I would like to flash openrecovery and then the CM-port, but im kinda helpless now.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
Try RSDlite v4.6 and 32bit XP...it should recognize your phone...and I guess you can also flash an sbf by applying it as an update.zip

Do a research on this and correct me if I'm wrong!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] nfin1te:
omg, so stupid.

Up and running cyanogenmod now :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVMENOR:
Hi guys, fist post here, hopefully not a noobish one.

anyway.... I want to know why it is so important to install ClockworkMod? I mean, stock recovery isn't enough to work with, or fastboot for flashing, and "cat" or "bb" commands for dumping and system backups?.

That's it, Thanks for your help!!.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I didn't even check out the stock recovery, flashed CWM out of habit.

Usually the primary reason is so that you can flash "unsigned" zip updates to the phone, but I understand from some posts here that the stock recovery lets you do that.

Other big reasons are ability to make nandroid back ups and some extra features like mounting partitions while in recovery. I don't think the stock lets you do that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rzaratin:
I'm trying to update the framework-res.apk with an unsigned zip, I having no problem, but there is no change too.

I tried to apply a UOT Kitchen update, and its not working too.

Any tip?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
CW has lots of extra features and options, that the stock recovery does not offer

many of which features are crucial to save your phone on those Crap Happens! moments
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the brilliance of clockwork recovery is it lets you basically update to most any ROM just like an OTA update, from anywhere you are. sure, you can also just download any ROM thru the browser, but using clockwork along with ROM manager is the brilliance of it all...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Clockwork Recovery removes the need for renaming all of your flashable zips to update.zip every time. Enough said. ;)

[Desire General] w162:
I just got my new Desire a few days before. It works like a charm. The only 2 things I feel unsatisfied are: battery life and ROM capacity.

There is not much I can do on the battery side. I can put it aside and get used to that. But the ROM is really painful for me -- When I get the device, it had around 150MB free memory. But it is only 22MB left now!

I noticed that the Android 2.2 supported to install application on SD card. I used adb shell to setup the default installation to SD, and moved most of the programs to the SD card. However, it seems that internal memory was not free up as much as I was expected. Indeed, I did not have many software installed. And I am very suspicious if the cache of software (like mail, google maps, etc.) might always stay on internal memory.

I think one solution to solve the problem is to root my device and partition the SD card to increase the program storage. But I am worrying if it might bring security risk from malwares, or make the phone run slower and have bigger power consumption when use SD card more frequently.

Do you root your device for the app2sd? What's the pros and cons? I want to take your opinion before make the decision. Any suggestion will be very appreciated! :D
[Desire General] nitrox1:
Rooting , followed by alpha rev s-off n1 partitioning, is by far the best thing, so much fun.

I use defrost based on cyanogen mod, great support, and ota feature, with kernels galore, and the all important a2sd built in. As long as you have an ext partition on your sd card, all apps go straight into the ext partition with out you having to do anything.

Also remember is not jail breaking

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire General] stats101:
What does alpha rev s-off allow you to do?
[Desire General] MasDroid:
It basically provides full root access for your desire as opposed to soft root, where you could only r/w to the to the /system partition while in recovery mode.

What is S-OFF ? (Quotes from original AlphaRev website)

HTC implemented security on their new generation phones. This flag, called @secuflag, controls whether your phone has it's NAND or flash unlocked. Most noticibly S-ON (security on) will read-lock your /system and /recovery partition, to name a few. Also, controls whether zip files being flashed recovery or fastboot, are signed by HTC The now notorious S-OFF (security off) disable this NAND security. Since we are unable to access the Radio itself (where secuflag is stored), we turn attention to HBOOT.
[Desire General] stats101:
What does it allow you to do that you can't do without it? :confused:
[Desire General] MasDroid:
It unlocks NAND so that you can write into /system partition. You can also flash radio, custom kernel, custom recovery, any unsigned ROM directly via fastboot without ClockWorks Rom Manager.

When you can write to /system, MetaMorph, AdFree and other apps that require access to this partition will just work. You don't need to reboot into recovery in order to delete/change/add files. Superuser will be able to update su binary automatically, Busybox Installer from Market will have no problems installing the most recent version directly into /system/bin or /system/xbin, etc.

While most users probably don't need it, it's very useful for developers. You can change system configs on the fly, add and load custom kernel modules without reboot and so on.

Basically, it will make your phone fully unlocked, just like the Nexus One developer phone.
[Desire General] w162:
Can't agree with that any more now :)

Hi,

I tried to install a apps tonight and my phone got hanged. I rebooted it to find that sdcard is not being recognised and I had low internal memory (<10mb).

I took out my sdcard and place on other phone (nokia), also on a laptop. It's working fine.

I also tried to place another sdcard in and my phone does not recognise it too.

I've tried to do a 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' command through adb (It stated 'Okay' after I key in the command) and wanted to flash the update.zip as what was stated here. But my phone just doesn't recognise sdcard.

It state E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) error message.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
I suppose you can enter recovery menu.

Go first to FASTBOOT and do fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

and then go into recovery and use the mount usb option.Then i guess you should be able to copy the files onto your SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackCube:
I have tried the fastboot command. Going into recovery does not give me any mount option.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackCube:
How do I access CWM recovery when I can't even use the update.zip to enter the CWM recovery? Can I flash to CWM recovery via ADB? The default recovery only has 4 option.

Reboot

apply sdcard update.zip

wipe cache
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
So you 're not rooted at all and you dont have custom recovery installed on your phone.

You should have mentioned that at the begging of your first post.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackCube:
I'm rooted and am using ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.5 DHD ROM.

If I were to enter recovery, I would use ROM manager or I always had CWM recovery update.zip in my root sdcard so I could always use it through default recovery screen to CWD recovery.

So how should I proceed from here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlackCube:
Ok, I have no idea what happened and how it happened.

You know the part where you go into (power + down vol), it will slightly load for awhile for xxxx.img rather fast before you can select the menus. I notice that this only loads if the phone detects your SDCARD. Had this problem in the past with Defrost ROM. In the past, if phone doesn't detect SDCARD, it wouldn't boot up at all, but using this current ۵.ReflexTSenseHD v1.5 DHD ROM. It will boot up despite not detecting SDCARD.

So I was trying quite a number of methods, and kept pulling in and out my SDCARD and just awhile ago when plugging into the plug and turning on, I notice the xxx.img was loading. I knew that the SDCARD was detected.

Quickly went into the recovery mode and flashed update.zip which was the USB bricked fix from modaco. Now, it seem like I am able to boot up and everything is back to normal.

My question is, why is it happening? Is it because of the hardware? That use to detect the SDCARD had some issue? So it could't detect my SDCARD? Or was it a purely USB brick? Because none of the method works as much as I would like it to be, and it seem that it sort of came back itself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivanovic:
Glad to hear that you fixed it.I experienced once myself the USB brick and it was because of the combination AmonRA recovery+clockworkmod via romManager.

Nice case. I am looking for a case with a stand also, but one that allows multiple viewing angles. I am not always sitting at my desk looking at it. I need to be able to adjust the angle when I have it sitting on my Lap.

I have seen some on EBay (Designed for other Tabs) that have a leg that you insert into multiple slots so you have multiple viewing angles. This makes more sense then one angle. But it is a nice looking case.

In a nutshell my X10i (Android 1.6 Vodafone) Wont recognize my PC (windows Vista latest, 32 Bit).

I plug in the USB cable and it wont show a usb connected in the notification bar, however the notification light turns green.

When i try to connect my device to PC Companion it wont register the phone or locate its there.

I even tried to update the phone using SEUS but it wouldnt recognise it whilst in the "hold back" menu.

I have already tried these but they havent solved the problem;

-uninstall SEUS and PC Companion

-Reinstall SEUS and PC Companion

-change USB ports

-Change USB cable

-Checked and Unchecked USB Debugging

-change computer (still no help)

-I cant find anything in device manager

The problem seemed to have arisen when i reflashed the phone, using SEUS Repair, because i had forgotten the patern lock.
