Since clockwork doesnt check for verification, what if i flashed, say, a Nexus one or Incred rom... what would happen?
Im asking this first so i dont get a brick
I going to go with a brick, But i heard some one on one of these forums talking about how he flashed the radios for the evo on his eris and it didnt brick, He also did a bunch of other stuff that "should" have bricked his phone but did not.
So basically what im saying here is i have no clue, lol
Well i just tried flashing the Incredible MIUI rom. Nothing happened so now im nandroiding.
Anyway when is that rom gonna come to us??

no clue, but using clockwork on your eris is like playing Russian Roulette, eventually you're going to shoot yourself in the head.

My Eris is weird. Whenever i flash clockwork i can only get to it via rom manager. Whenever I hold vol up and power it takes me to Amon Ra.... I use Amon Ra, just flashed clockwork today. I guess my Eris is telling me NO!

Ya that's how mine works too. If you flash it from Rom Manager it won't replace Amon Ra for some reason. Guess it's a good thing though in case clockwork decides to be bad haha.
Well, I'm speculating here, because I've never used Clockwork, but I did notice in a past posting here about nandroid backups under clockwork, that it makes a backup copy of the recovery partition in every backup.
I suppose that might mean that it only temporarily flashes clockwork into place in the recovery and then restores the recovery partition when it finishes (if a nandroid restore has not taken place)...?
I can't imagine why it would make recovery partition backups unless it intended to use them... during restores.
That's just a guess, but it is consistent with your observations.

Hey all.
I've been trying to flash ShadowROM onto my eris (got the eris dl off their site), but everytime I try to flash it on it gives me "E:missing file: recovery/recovery-from-boot.p" and "E:Verification failed" and then aborts the installation.
So I then tried re-downloading the rom, but the same thing happened again.
Any ideas on what might be going on? I did all my wipes and everything so I'm not really sure what could be going on. Also I have been using Evil Eris for a while, if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
EDIT: Also I'm currently on 2.1 so I'm not sure if theres anything I need to do to be able to put a 2.2 rom on my eris.

At this time it doesn't work with Amon's recovery. It only will work if you use clockwork, which isn't recommended. I got it to work but I use a rom kitchen and replaced the boot-img.

You don't need to replace the boot.img....the rom just needs to be signed and it will flash fine amon's. Clockwork can load an unsigned rom but amons can't....

Thanks for the info that would have been easier. I just replace it because of the error message.
**please ignore, sorry!**
Clockwork wont hurt your phone. Also when you go into to clockwork and flash clockwork recovery it will only temp use clockwork as a recovery just to install the rom. After that it will boot into amon.
"Clockwork won't hurt your phone" Boyyyyyyyyy I bet a lot of people with broken eris's would be glad to hear that!

Im not knew to the rooting and flashing thing when it comes to my eris, but i do have to ask for my knowledge: what do you mean by the rom needs to be signed?? thanks!!

He means that this rom will not work with amons recovery because it isn't signed. You can create a zip that isn't sign, meaning you never used a program that signs zips, but you can't flash a zip in amons unless it is signed. So if you just create a zip it probably won't work, but if you use an autosigner then you will be in buisness. I hope this helps, probably not because I have been drinking.
Just so there's full information in case someone finds this thread in the future.
There was a bug with using Clockwork Mod Recovery with the Eris. They squashed it, at least 2-3 months ago.
Besides, you don't have to get rid of amon in order to use clockwork. Just download ROM Manager from the Market and it will make it so that you can load clockwork from amon. Then you get all the advantages of ROM Manager and clockwork without any hassles.

This seems to be a hit or miss build for the Eris. About 50% (guestimated) of Eris users are unable to boot with v0.2.x and there is no known reason why, even after viewing logcats.
I have dropped the entire desirec device configuration (a mix of kaos & conap) and have forked over a pure conap device config for v0.3.x to attempt to fix this issue. We won't know for sure until v0.3.0 finally releases to the masses. All my testers (even myself) are able to run v0.2.x just fine.
There is no ETA for v0.3.0 at this time.
I'm sorry if this is off topic but I need to ask. Were can you get themes for ShadowRom? Do you just use anything that is for cynogen? Is it best to use metamorph or and update.zip?
I flashed shadowrom using clockmod just fine.

We currently have zero themes for the eris. We rely on themers to provide ports, which none have done yet.
Guess I'm one of the lucky ones

So the current iterations of cwm seem to have trouble working reliably with the newer froyo ROMs, and koush's recovery (although seeming to work correctly) is quite broken. So......
please find below a new recovery package that should work for any ROM for the fascinate, mesmerize, or showcase.
This is a "red" cwm recovery, and it will work with both voodoo and non-voodoo installations.
cwm-recovery-ALL.zip can be flashed via any cwm recovery.
if you are using odin, then use the cwm-recovery-ALL odin (.tar) package.
updated 3/29 - thanks to GizmoDroid for help with fixing fix_permissions script and root permissions typo that screwed up nandroid restores
updated 3/30 - fixed 'umount' typo - actually *fixed* fix_permissions this time - fixed odin/heimdall recovery attachment
Thanks, I just installed it. I'd rather not have a broken clockwork mod.
thanks, will give this a try!
ok, so I flashed this in the old cwm and it does come up red, but also says CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery, is that right?
In what ways is the old cm broken with froyo? I haven't noticed any problems.
Thanks! Good to have a fully working recovery again.

Yeah, I'd like to 2nd this question. I have DL30 and CW worked for me in setting that up. Granted, I haven't tried anything else after that, but I'd like to know too.
Well I've had weird things happen when flashing stuff (I was using the "new-cwm.zip") , seemed like data being written where it shouldn't be? Just flashing theme files or own stuff I want to add, and I've had the following stuff happen:
Nuked my radio, had an unknown baseband and calls would never work, fortunately Radio Odin fixed it.
Had some /data apps disappear. Had some /data/data disappear. On reboot had Setup Wizard pop-up, even though I still had my Google account registered.
Hoping this new clockwork is completely safe. I suspected that clockwork was responsible for my weird happenings, so data-wiped and haven't flashed anything, so far fine functioning.
Using this is it easy to flash back to a prior set up, for me it would be back to dj05 w superdark and voodoo5?
Ive been holding off on froyo bc I need wireless tether, preferably unreported tether. But I really want to play around and see what the fuss is about. Ive downloaded every dl30 rom, havent installed one fearing I cant go back easily

/data on the fascinate is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
koush's recovery mounts /data as mmcblk0p2 (THIS IS OUR /DATA/FOTA. THAT'S BAAADDD)
under most circumstances this does not matter , because recovery.rc mounts data CORRECTLY before cwm gets to it, but there are circumstances where /data can be unmounted and then remounted, in which case cwm is gonna mount mmcblk0p2. If things get written there, at best you've got a **** load of FC's to deal with. At worst, a dead radio.
I've pointed this out to koush before, but was met with a "half-response", and to date it not been addressed (except for the recoveries that I've posted)
installed. When I go to do a backup, it gives the messages below. Backup seems to run fine though
E: missing bitmap progress_empty (code -1)
E: missing bitmap progress_fill (code -1)

Thanks, jt.
Copied to sdcard, booted into recovery, ran the program, keep coming back to green, no red.
ETA: Interesting. If I go to recovery from ROM mgr and try to load from sdcard, it does nothing, but if (while in ROM Mgr) I load from SDcard, it works. Got the blue screen, ran update, red appeared.
I likewise get the error message mentioned previously, but got it at install. Backup seemed to ahve run fine.
Installed like a charm, thanks jt!

Yes, that is correct. It says in the OP. But it may have been edited since the time you posted and my response, so I'll let it slide
thank you JT!!!!! I thought it was just me, Ive had to start over again with my data about 6 times now becuase of Clockwork either not restoring my backups or my phone freaking out once I restored the backup. Thanks again!!!

Thanks very much for addressing this issue.
For a while, I felt like a fresh n00blet, wondering what I was doing wrong. I tried flashing versions of supposedly compatible cwm's in different ways, always coming to the mounting errors.
Other than the errors from the missing graphics, this one works error free.
Scared to mess with this since i haven't experienced any problems with my current cwm stuff from pre dl09... Might just go ahead and do this tomorrow. For some reason I feel more comfortable using the odin method, so I can do all this over my Super Clean 1.0 with Neon GT theme and not have to do any data wiping or anything first?
So this makes no sense and I think its a weird coincident but as soon as I flashed this my beta version of swype started the force close loop..
EDIT: so weird, I had to uninstall the installer and swype itself using titanium backup and then download the installer and install again (had to do it all twice). Seems to be working again now tho..
Superclean 0.7.. aka Froyo.. Thanks devs!
Hey guys, i have the new CWR on the fascinate... only problem is when i go to make a backup it says "failed to backup boot.img" and bombs out. Anyone else having this problem?
I did a ODIN to the deodexed EB01. didn't add a google account or anything. Shut down, manually entered CWR and it worked.
Rebooted, loaded all my data, rebooted into CWR to make a backup of EB01 w/data and got the error message. Nothing was flashed in between backups. All i did was run Titanium...
Anyone else?
I had the same issue, I couldn't flash any roms either. Only after I replaced the update.zip with the one from jt1134's fix, did i finally get mine to work (i extracted it from the zip and copied replaced the one on my sdcard). Haven't tried a backup, but restore worked. Huh ope this helps.
ya i was going to do that if needed, but i wanted to see if there was a fix for the current recovery before going backwards. I was able to do one backup as I stated, but then it bombs out. not sure what the deal is.
I see to many issues with 3.0. I am gonna stay with the 2.5.x version until I am forced to do otherwise.

Since your on 2.7 you can do it from terminal emulator, just type su then fxpms
once its done type reboot.
Im sorry i haven't really been able to do too much research myself (im in the middle of a move and things have been hectic), but im wondering if the recovery im using still up to code. Lol
I use the Rom Manager (the one u can get off the market), is this recovery still acceptable or is it dated? I have been flashing just fine with it, but with things moving the way of ICS i wanna make sure im up to date.
That recovery should be fine, but I think most people, myself included, prefer Romracer's recovery. I'd flash that if I were you.

Will there be any difference/benefits in ROMracer's over ROM Manager, or are u just saying its just a slightly better option/future proof?

Romracers has a couple of extra options. I believe one of them may be the choice to nandroid backup to either internal or external SDCard, but it's been so long I forget. Romracers has pretty much become the standard with the Atrix. So, in essence a slightly better option. I may need to be corrected, but I think some people have had problems flashing particular ROM's, radios, kernels, etc. with the ROM Manager version.
If you want you could also download CWM Touch through ROM Manager, but once again, the option to backup to external is not there.

Thanks a lot. I mainly wanted to stick with ROM Manager cuz its simple. Lol
I will take ur advice and switch to ROM Racers (once i read up and learn how to). I have never deleted and installed a new recovery, but its something i need to learn anyways so i will take the plunge. Thanks a lot.

You don't need to delete anything. Just download one of the Romracer zip files, (there are a few because you can have different colours), put the zip on your sdcard, and flash it with the current ROM Manager recovery you have just like you would flash anything else. It will replace it.
