OK. So first of all, calm down. Second of all, can you explain clearly what you did (step by step), and what isn't working, and what you are trying to do.
I can't make head nor tail of your story, but it sounds like you installed a new ROM and didn't wipe the data, and now can't do something to do with recovery.
Have you read up on flashing etc before doing this?

Your apps will remain unless you did a wipe.
And there is no need to flash recovery each time. This is fixable though. If you are able to flash VR12, it will install a recovery image for you automatically.
Do you have adb set up, as if so, this is pretty easy to do?
What writting comes up?
Edit... I'll leave you in Pulsers capable hands

I have a HTC Evo 3D and i have rooted my phone using HTC's method and yes i am a noob to android. I have Android 2.3.4 (installed the update before i rooted). I have Rom manager on my phone and have already flashed clockwork mod recovery and downloaded viper rom 1.3. Now when i try to install it from the SD card all my phone does is give me 3 Pre installation choices:
1.Backup Existing Rom
2.Wipe Data and Cache
3.Wipe Dalvik Cache
and the 3rd option is aleady checked and i click ok and another screen pops up it says Press ok to reboot into Clockwork recovery mode and continue installation.
And all my phone does is restart and nothing happens can someone please tell me if im doing something wrong or am i missing something?
What recovery are you using?
A backup is always recommended.
Wipe Data means you clean up your personl settings and stuff.
Also Recommended when flashing a custom rom.
Just go ahead

Suggestion: Don't use ROM Manager to try and flash a ROM. Boot straight into recovery mode (Volume Down and Power button) and do it from there. You will have more control over the process.

I can't believe nobody has been in here to tell you this yet:
If you used HTC's method, unfortunately you are sol as far as flashing any kind of ROM that tries to reload even a stock kernel as part of the process.
Their method was/is a total sham, as far as most custom rom users are concerned.
Sorry, but you're gonna just have to wait for a brand new exploit.

No way to downgrade. Htc new stuff prohibits it. From all accounts, you have to wait for a new exploit.

From what I've read in radom XDA posts, the HTC unlock method provides write access to only the recovery and system partitions of the device but deso not provide write access to the boot partition (where only the kernel is stored). Unfortunately, modifying only the system partition w/o access to the kernel/boot partition can be very limiting.
You should be able to boot into the bootloader by using the volume down + power, mentioned above. Once on the white bootloader screen, you should be able to select Recovery. This should load the clockworkmod recovery as you indicated in a previous post you loaded.
If it doesn't load the clockworkmod recovery but instead loads the stock recovery, the custom recovery wasn't flashed (loaded) properly. Will probably need to flash it again. ROM manager *should* properly flash the cwm custom recovery even on an HTC unlocked device, but this HTC method is very new and we're finding out more and more about its limitations.
Welcome to the Android world! Hope that helps!
Hey guys, so I downloaded cm9 and tried to install it on my phone.
I got it from this link and also followed the video tutorial there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500234
I had rooted my phone and had CWM recovery v5.0.2.6
Now when I try to reboot, there is just an blue screen.
I did exactly like in the video, I tried 2 times. Still it didn`t work. Please help. Could someone provide any step by step instructions other than the video?
Thanks.
I think you needed to use with CWM 5+
Try to get back into CWM and root your old ROM.
I am very bad at this... So I dont really know how to do that... could you provide any steps or an tutorial?
Edit:well I tried to format sd card and system but nothing. Could someone provide a link to gingerbread 2.3.5 and a way Icould put it on my phone? Also, could I do anything with samsung kies?

NO NO. Don't use kies. Kies sucks a lot. Search the developer forum for "clockworkmod 5" flash it normally (I suppose you already know how-to since you have CWM4) after getting CWM5, flash ICS/CM9 Normally. no need to flash GB
Here is cwm 5

Ughh I forgot to root my phone right after flashing. So I installed CWM before rooting.. how do I root now? And also I think it is still not working. The phone has been blue for about 2 minutes now. I followed the video exactly like it was.
EDIT: damn... so after getting the blue screen again I thought of going back to normal ver and maybe some other custom ROM... but guess what.... It doesnt work anymore... I did just like before.Went into download, used ODIN to download 2.3.5 french ver to my phone, odin says PASS. But last time It had booted correctly by 4:40 or so. This time like 10 minutes have passed and still rebooting. What to do now?
EDIT2: Am I allowed to make a new thread since the problem is not with cm9 anymore?
here, check this out:

i dont think you need to root it before flashing this (i didnt)
i just flashed this over the stock rom (non rooted) and then flashed cm7.2
i too had such problems but dont worry flash some stock rom with odin then it wont boot so remove your battery and place it again.now go to stock recovery wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot.then use cwm 5 to flash cm 9.

Hey guys,
Recently, I have some doubts while shifting ICS rom.
whenever i wipe my phone, and then flash a new rom via CWM.
It seems so good at the begining,
(If I flash mega wipe.zip, the message will pop out right after new rom flashed)
But, if I flash new kernel, the CWM will pop out a message after selected reboot:
Are you sure you want to disable stock recovery?
I always click disable.
But, when boot succesfully, my ROM is recover back to my previous style.
The wall paper has changed, some apps restored.
WHY?
anyone can give me some guide?I want to disable it
Greatly appreciate cuz it so annoying.
I just want a FRESH ROM.

Because I believe you are flashing recovery.img along with the boot.img..just check what is there inside the zip file..
before flashing kernels make sure you have wiped data,cache,dalvik...
If you want a fresh ROM..just flash the ROM after a full wipe..almost always it has the kernel with it ..dont need to flash it later..

Hello there !
I have a Nexus 4 with ClockWorkMod and I'm wondering if flashing Ubuntu Touch could possibly wipe my recovery. Also, does it wipes the data contained in /sdcard ?
Some reports have said no, some say yes. I'm checking now, but assume it does until we know otherwise.

Considering the build script checks if the recovery is flashable:
subprocess.check_call('sudo fastboot flash recovery %s' % recovery_file,

I would assume it would flash the recovery partition.

that's without any doubt! I don't have the zip yet, so can you check if something is related to an sd card wipe??
people are reporting TWRP works ok, no recovery nor sd card wipes
The built-in installer DOES flash a new recovery (looks like a stock recovery, or maybe with their own modifications). I'm not sure if it wipes nandroid backups yet, going to check that next.

If people would stop creating new threads every 3 seconds about ubuntu it would be easier to find....but alas, the xda public is too damn impatient
After installing through the "Ubuntu" method, which does flash a new recovery, I reflashed TWRP and checked and it does still keep the nandroid backups, so everything is still there. It's easy to go back to your old backup even after flashing the new recovery. Meaning, their process does not wipe the sdcard.

correct. if you dont flash using canonicals instructions, and only flash the 2 zip files, nothing on your boot or recovery is touched....
thats what i am trying to say here. if you follow the canonical way, it wipes everything, loads its own boot.img and recovery.img, then flashes those zip files.
we dont need their boot or recovery to make this work. if you already have cwm or twrp all you have to do is flash the zip files

I cant get a new rom to the device - the computer stopped recognizing it and I have no idea how to get a file on it (maybe somehow via the terminal/SDK.bat?).
After it gives the NFC error, there is an "OK' button. I hit it a few times and nothing happens. Then the screen goes off and I cant turn it back on, unless I use the power button/volume down...
I did though tried a different image... same result.

You can use ADB sideload to copy ROM in the phone

This was FAST answer!
I see my mistake (reading comprehension) :
CM10 - for 4.1 based roms e.g. CM10 and AOKP 4.1.2
CM10.1 - ONLY for CM10.1
42 - 4.2 based roms e.g. AOKP 4.2.1 and AOSP 4.2.1
I thought that your ROM is based on the 4.2 (?)
Downloading the Kernel now.
By the way, when and how do I add the gapps?
flash kernel

Thank you. I already flashed kernel and rom. Phone booted up and seem to work. A few issues:
1) I did not put the gapps zip on the phone before the process.
2) Though the phone appears as a drive in Windows, I can not copy any file to it.
3) Camera says NO SD Card and exits....
Thank you for your help!

This was FAST answer!
I see my mistake (reading comprehension) :
CM10 - for 4.1 based roms e.g. CM10 and AOKP 4.1.2
CM10.1 - ONLY for CM10.1
42 - 4.2 based roms e.g. AOKP 4.2.1 and AOSP 4.2.1
I thought that your ROM is based on the 4.2 (?)
Downloading the Kernel now.
By the way, when and how do I add the gapps?

Even if you install gapps after one full reboot - it won't be a problem... Actually - it's whenver you feel like

Go to the Lloir's thread there is a solution for it - I read. I don't remember it as I am not using AOSP / AOKP / CM ROM at the moment...

Use ADB sideload to copy the file...
I believe that will work.

Thank you! What do I do AFTER I get the gapps.zip to the phone? what do I do with the TWRP?
Is this what I should do to get the zip to the phone:
Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.
From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip

ADB termianl says : "error: device not found"
Phone plugged to USB, debug mode etc...
Maybe I should just re-flash EVERYTHING - rom, image?
UPDATE: re-done everything, full wipe. Still camera wont work - "No sd card..." ALSO, still cant move anything to phone... help!
Gmail app?
OK, got the latest gapps. Installed.
Play Store wont open, camera says no sd card and no Gmail app (???)

Did you create the '0' folder before flashing the ROM?
If not - would suggest you to load some other ROM...
Also, check the Lloir''s thread...
