My Nexus One is in a funny state, my apps seem to be there but basic settings (such as my desktop background) are messed up and booting into recovery just sits there at the exclamation mark.
Before upgrading my Nexus One from its current stock FRG83 to FRG83D I wanted to backup. My phone had been rooted with z4root.
So I installed ROM Manager 2.5.0.7 and asked it to install ClockworkMod (2.5.1.0 it says I have) and make a backup. On rebooting it complained that the ROM manager unexpectedly quit.
Now I have a phone that boots, it made me go through the introductory screens.
I still have root. But I can't restore my backup (I get the exclamation point graphic).
I can't boot into the recovery (I get the exclamation point graphic).
I reregistered my Google account, and reinstalled ROM Manager, and it no longer quits, but I still can't recover.
UPDATE: I tried asking ROM Manager to reinstall ClockworkMod and restore my backup...no, got exclamation point graphic again. OK, tried to boot into recovery (worked!) and restore from there...kinda worked, listed a bunch of things it was restoring, said it completed, but on reboot I still am missing basic settings and when I try to run ROM Manager I get a complaint that it has stopped unexpectedly. I can live with ROM Manager wanting a reinstall, but I want my settings back. (Oh, ColorNote also complains on boot and won't launch manually, I don't use it, but I am wondering whether it lost its settings and is dying in a gumpy way when trying to read them.)
Suggestions?
Thanks bunches,
-kb, the Kent who googled this hoping it was a common problem, but he didn't find an answer and is starting to worry.
I'm no expert but I think what might have happened is that Rom Manager may have not installed clockwork mod properly. I know I had this issue with my HTC Magic (flashing clockword mod through rom manager I mean).
Try flashing a different recovery image and see if you can restore your backup with that. I'm using Amon_RA's recovery, theres a version of it for the Nexus one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
I'm kind of a noob at this so I'm not completely sure what your problem actually is, but this may help if it's a problem with clockwork mod.

I flashed CM7 last night, loaded GAPPS, and the market was updating my apps, when I noticed none of the apps were updating. updates were all failing. I went into recovery and restored BAMF 1.5 remix. Now I have a problem. I can not download or update anything from the Market, all attempts fail. I cannot access CW recovery, the HTC white screen is as far as I get. I deleted rom manager, and tried to access CW recovery and still failed. I tried to do a factory reset, and still only get white HTC screen. Tbolt is functioning, I just can't fix my issue. Please help. Thanks.
You can't get in CW recovery or stock recovery?

Did you try reflashing CW through ROM Manager?
Yep. very strange. I even tried to wipe the phone with factory reset, and just get stuck on white HTC screen. I had deleted rom manager because of something else I read, and can't get it back, But I can't even get to recovery from bootloader.
You can get to recovery through the bootloader by shutting off the phone and turning it back on holding down the volume button and pressing power toggle down to the recovery option and press the power button

Actually I spent a good few hours yesterday trying to help Orio out and we attempted a quite a few things to try and fix the recovery issue, this post should offer a bit more insight to the methods used;
adb reboot recovery failed
Reinstall latest Rom Manager apk and Flash CWM
flash latest rom manager via fastboot (CWM only)
(fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.5.img)
**did not do fastboot erase recovery first**
"return to stock safely and properly" XDAthread by jcase
return to stock image [RUU], reroot, try again
try to boot into recovery via hboot
manually installed fix_permissions.sh script and busybox on rooted stock, ran.. didnt fix
tried to see if flash_image method would work, didn't
All of the above have failed and we basically tried almost all combinations. Never once would this phone get back into recovery, even after flashing the appropriate RUUs which include either stock android or CWM recovery. The only thing we have not currently attempted which might be the last thing left is to do is manually install the nandroid.sh script and do an advanced restore of the recovery image only from a nandroid backup on SD. I would rather not go down this method as it could have an undesired result, I have done it to restore a G1 back in the day but not 100% if its gonna work on a tbolt. Thankfully his phone boots, and we can get into hboot, but yea.. pretend recovery just doesnt exist at all...
Curious if anyone has any knowledge above what we have already tried.
SUCCESS !!!
I fixed it !
Apparently, when I loaded up cm7, files showed up about the same time on my sdcard in clockworkmod download file. I deleted those files, and reflashed clockworkmod in rom manager, (which this time took like 3 - 4 minutes), and rebooted into recovery and it worked...did it again, just in case it was a fluke and it worked.
All is well now...the planets are realigned !!!
Thanks everyone for your ideas and especially thanks to mattgyver83 who helped me for something like 4 hours yesterday. Exceptional kindness !!
mods...you can close this thread.
I have successfully been able to root and install everything on my Mytouch4G just fine, however, when I tried to install my wife's Vibrant, I am stuck. Here is what I have done:
1) I rooted successfully using superoneclickv1.9.1
2) I installed ROM Manager and also downloaded the Auxora ROM to get ready to install
3) When I flash CWM recovery, it says current and latest recover is 2.5.1.2 (concern here that my mytouch says 3.0.2.4 - do different phones install differently with CWM?). When I look at all CWM recoveries I also notice there is two seemingly more current versions available 2.5.1.3 and 2.5.1.4. I have left it at .2 but wondering why all the versions.
4) When I reboot into recovery, I always get the stock recovery and have not been able to get CWM recovery so I am unable to flash my Auxora ROM. I ran update packages numerous times, and get a signature verification error. I have tried a recovery 3e patch that does not work either. I also gave a try at downloading and SDK, but received temp root errors (phone is already rooted).
After reading many posts, I cannot seem to get a direct answer on what I should do to get CWM to actually boot properly, so I can flash a ROM. Someone said to flash the stock JDK rom, but if I can't boot into recovery, how can I flash anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You need to get a program for your pc called odin to get back to stock. you can find that and instructions on how to use it if you search for the daily updated vibrant bible its GREAT

going to stock eclair heres a a great guide
So going back to stock eclair will then allow me to install CWM recovery then load roms?
Every once n a while I haft do the install packages thing twice before it gives me clockwork green
. Hope this helps.. o n btw u should look at some of the other roms in the bible before u try auxora
yes u should go back to stock eclair for every rom, in my opinion. Then after that do the 3 button combo and install packages and u will have to do it twice and then the green screen will kick in and ready to rock a new rom.
i hope this helps
What is your current firmware?
I see you posted over in the "NOOB GUIDE" thread, you should really try to root using the method posted there and not any one click root apps.
This should be the root method everyone uses:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479
After root your phone recovery should be blue. Choose "reinstall packages" gives you green recovery(this may need to be repeated multiple times to work possibly including flashing CwMRecovery with ROM manager. I recently did it 5 times b4 i got green recovery)Once you access green recovery chose "apply sdcard:update.zip" go into advanced and choose "reboot recovery" This should give you red recovery. Do a nandroid backup and flash away. Good luck!
Another option you could do is to download SGS kernel flasher from the market and flash a voodoo injected kernel with that app. Then when you boot into recovery you will have red voodoo recovery and you can flash away.

The stock 2.2 that Samsung distributed with their Kies tool has a recovery that checks signatures. Everything earlier does not check signatures. So either use something earlier to get CWM running, or use a ROM that doesn't have the stock 2.2 recovery in the first place, or mod your recovery using the method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Using Odin to go back to stock Eclair between your flashes of modded roms has the benefit of taking care of this, and also can clear up left over bits and pieces that may interfere with the proper function of your new ROM.
ok, i followed the instructions and am back to eclair, however, whenever I install packages, it just reboots the phone, not even back into stock recovery. I use the 3 key method and get into recovery, run install packages, and the phone just boots back up...its like it isn't running the update.zip file...
UPD: When i load rom manager and try to reboot into recovery, it says the application superuser permissions has stopped unexpectedly and keeps force closing now....titanium backup wont run now either, my root permissions seem whacked after going back to eclair?
UPD2: I followed instructions to unroot and reroot here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739300
It removed superuser, then added it back again, but I still get the unexpected error and it appears my root is not in place. I am back to eclair, and now need a certain way to get my root fixed, so I can try and flash CWM recovery. Without root working, it is not letting me. My wife hates me now for doing this to her phone, so those of you that are married, I would appreciate your assistance to get back on her good side...before Mother's day...please? =)
Ok, thanks for all the help, however, I am really back where I started. I can only get stock recovery, and for the life of me, cannot get CW recovery to load. I used ODIN to go back to eclair on the vibrant, have a good root on the phone now, and no matter how many times i reinstall packages i cannot get clockworkmod recovery to load, ever. Any more thoughts out there?
I had this trouble a few months back. Things to check before going into recovery:
You gotta have root access.
Make sure you have debugging on
Install busybox FIRST
Try uninstalling Rom manager and reinstalling the latest version.
apply the recovery for vibrant and let it boot into recovery.
When it boots into recovery Don't try to install packages yet. Just reboot.
Look here for the files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423&highlight=3e+recovery
When it boots up push the update.zip to the sd card on the phone, not the external card.
Run the script and it should reboot back into recovery.
You should now be able to install packages.
This way has always worked for me.

thanks...It is rooted, but not sure about busybox...the stock recovery is 2e now since I went back to eclair, so not sure i should follow that link as it talks about modifying 3e and making it backwards compatable. I did use that process before I went back to eclair, and it didn't work for me. I have uninstalled rom manager, and reinstalled...and it is different in that it shows a flashed recovery 2.5.1.2, and never asks me for my phone type anymore...it used to ask me and i had to select vibrant....is the recovery supposed to be 2.5.1.2? when I show all recoveries it lists .1, .2, .3, .4 so wondering if I should use .3 or .4...why does it stay at .2?

OK>>> I GOT IT... Thanks to everyone who helped...Here is what was needed:
1) Install ODIN, install back to eclair
2) uninstall ROM Manager, reinstall
3) I needed to select the 2.5.1.2 recovery from the list again (this was important as it somehow knew of the previous load, but files were missing, or something was just wrong.) It finally loaded properly, and asked for phone type again, so selected vibrant
4) I rebooted into recovery, and instead of install packages, i rebooted once, as starkiller suggested
5) After reboot, went back into recovery from rom manager, and this time installed updates, and it showed that it replaced the recovery with CWM.
6) It rebooted into stock recovery however, so I once again selected install updates, and it went right into CWM recovery, and now I am flashing happy!!!
Thanks again everyone...this was soooooo different than my mytouch4g!
If you have the Kies update of Froyo, the 3e mod will sometimes not work. I've gotten to CWM though , but its best to downgrade then flash a ROM from there.
I just wanted to bump this thread because it really helped me.
I've messed around with numerous android phones, and I've never had thie issues I've had with this phone getting into recovery to flash ROMs
Thank you!
Hi,
I have a rooted (using Indirect's method, I believe, with help from Albert W.'s video) Nook Tablet 16GB. I'd like to try a custom ROM and installed GooManger (1.2.1). I can download a recovery file (openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.1 -blaze.img), and it says it installed it, but when I try to boot into recovery ("Reboot recovery" option) it just reboots normally. If I try to browse compatible ROMs, it says "No roms were found".
Googled but could not find an answer. I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction!
Thanks,
Pat

I think you're trying to use the wrong recovery file. Try downloading CWM or TWRP from the links listed in the first post of this thread -- I've used both with no problems on my NT.

Removing CM9
HELP! I installed CM9 on my nook tablet 8gb and I am not happy with it. I want to take it back to stock so I can load CM7. HOWEVER I cannot find a single website with this information. I keep trying to power it off and then hold the power and n to no avail. The cyanoboot menu just loads and I cant load any of the ROMs. Its really pissing me off and I would like to just get rid of this os. Can anyone help?

You don't need to go back to stock to downgrade from CM9 to CM7. All you need to do is boot into recovery and flash the new ROM. With that being said, it would be well worth your time to start by installing Titanium Backup and backing up your system before you do anything else... That will let you restore any apps you've downloaded and want to keep (along with their settings and data), which will eliminate one headache after you flash the new ROM...
Review this thread from Lavero.Burgos about installing a customer recovery on your tablet. You've already got one installed if you're running CM9, but the thread has got lots of really good info, and if you have the Clockwork Mod 6.x recovery installed, you need to replace that with Clockwork Mod 5.x to flash CM7.
Next, check this thread from Celtic Web Solutions. The link to the internal CM7 ROM is in the first thread, along with the instructions for installing this ROM to your emmc (internal) storage.
Now, when you start you tablet, instead of holding Power + n to boot into recovery, wait for the Cyanoboot splash screen to open (the one that says CYANOBOOT, not the animated CM9 splash screen), then press and hold the n button until the boot menu appears. From here you can select to boot normally into CM9, into your internal recovery, or into a recovery.img loaded on your SD card. Select one of the recovery options, and you should be able to do a nandroid backup of your device, then install CM7. Since you're changing to a completely new ROM, I strongly recommend that you do a factory wipe/reset as well as wiping the cache partition and Dalvik cache.
NOTE: There's a big difference between an Titanium Backup backup and a Nandroid backup! You'll want to do both as you go through this. Titanium Backup will take a snapshot of your apps (including the settings and data associated with them) that you can restore after installing the new ROM. Super helpful, since you don't have to re-install everything from the Play Store, nor do you lose data like savegames, etc. Nandroid runs from recovery mode, and will do a complete image of your system, including the ROM. It protects you in case you run into a major problem while flashing a new ROM -- it's saved my life a couple of times...
I just rooted my Nook Tablet.
After rooting it I made the mistake of installing cm10.1.2 without wiping first. My first issue was that it stuck on the cm loading gif. I figured out I could get into recovery by holding the power and home button and do a factory reset which let me boot up fully, but it had a weird screen glitch right before the cm loading gif.
So, now I have all my problems. I want to make whatever I did clean so I don't have any issues come up in the future. First of all I can't get Google Apps set up. None of the APKs work for it. To counter this I tried to get Rom Manager installed directly from the CW website but within Rom Manager it tells me I need the latest version in order to download any roms.
To make things worse I cannot seem to get into recovery mode. Every time I try to boot into recovery mode I get the screen that says I need to reboot my tablet and if the problem persists I need to contact B&N support.
What I'd like to do is somehow get ROM Manager working and install a fresh version of CM with a data/cache wipe and then I feel like it would work but if anybody knows a better way to do it or what please let me know.
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43326042&postcount=123 for pointers on how to flash CM10 internally on emmc.
If you prefer to stick with pure CM10.1.2, just use its ROM zip file in step 2(c) but in which case you'll also need to flash CWM recovery separately (e.g., flashing flashable_CWM_6.0.2.x.zip from http://goo.im/devs/succulent/acclaim/recovery).
Thanks for the link. I followed his steps as close as i could and everything seems to be working flawlessly.
Hello, i will try to be thorough.
BUT, i am a noob and didnt write down everything i did.
Have a I717 at&t note 1. with the 4.1.2 update originally OTA installed by keis.
I recently rooted it using Saferoot. it went well and i didnt see any problems. i flashed a custom rom and didnt like it so using clockworkmod recovery i went back to the 4.1.2. I then tried pac lollipop >pac_quicyatt_lp.beta-1.unofficial_20150327< i liked this rom but needed to flash Gapps.
This is where the trouble started. i didnt/dont know the proper procedure to flash the Gapps on top of or into the rom.
I first tried >gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip< and it looked like it loaded correctly. but nothing appeared in the phone. the pac rom was still working well.
I then did more research and tried >gapps-lp-20150222-signed.zip< , again it looked like it loaded well but nothing showed up "in" the phone.
right here is where things got screwy. i had been using clorkworkmod for recovery and rebooting. and i think somewhere in developer settings i clicked something about how rebooting is handled.
because after trying to install the Gapps it went into Cyanogen recovery... and loops.
no matter what i do it goes back to cyanogen recovery.
I never knowingly installed cyanogen and dont know why it all of a sudden is going into cyanogen recovery over and over.
a list of things that may have bearing:
1. i tried reinstalling the pac rom. it loads and completes but it still just goes to recovery.
2. tried different ways of clearing cache and data wipes.
3. computer, kies, and odin 3.09 do not recognize phone.
4. have proper drivers on computer. phone was previously recognized by kies and cpu (4.1.2).
5. currently the only way to get anything into phone is by pulling sd card and reinstalling with info on it then using cyanogen recovery.
6. i have searched for about 11 hours and tried a bunch of things. but just restarts in cyanogen recovery
7. i was scared to fully try things i found that wernt specifically for the i717.
8. i could not find an original gingerbread rom. they all seemed fishy (needed downloaders. or ended in .zip.rar)
9. had backed up with clockworkmod and with titanium recovery (while in 4.1.2).
I dont know if i can reach the clockworkmod save through cyanogen recovery.... if so it seems like a great option.
10. at the bottom of the screen while loading rom is.... ---->>> E: cannot load volume /misc
11. only pac rom will successfully re-flash (even though it still just goes back to cyanogen). any other flash and it crashes halfway through.... i then restart and it just loops back to cyanogen recovery.
I searched here and tried the five recommended posts.
I could not try a lot of the "fixes" because the phone isnt recognized by cpu or odin (computer does beep when connected but doesnt show up anywhere).
Can you help me get back my phone please?
