After runing the revolutionary thing I accidentally took out the usb while it said " would u like to install clockwork recovery mod". So I tried to install the .zip that would install it on the fastboot but instead of doing that it checked the .zip and said that it had no image inside of it I'm thinking I stewed up big time cause I can't even unroot it and when I try to run the revolutionary thing again it would say device not supported any help or should I just give up?
try re-downloading a recovery from here.

I've been using TWRP - TeamWin Recovery Project. I like it. Try downloading the PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip file and renaming it PG86IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SDcard. Reboot into Hboot by doing a battery pull then while holding vol-down press power. then let it do it's thing when ask if you want to apply the update press vol-up. then reboot and delete the PG86IMG.zip and reboot into Hboot again and you should be able to get into recovery and start having fun.
Let me know if this solves your problem.
I got this message after trying that recovery again

Waiting for device...
Found your device: PG86100 (shooter-1.40.1000, Android: 2.3.3, ROM version: 1.13
.651.7)
Your device is not supported at this time.
Press (almost) any key to exit.
Im thinking its because of what I typed in the beta key registration when i tried this before I put in 1.40.0000. I the message above it says that I have a shooter-1.40.1000 which is probs y it says it doesnt support
As for the TWRP I found the problem for me because im a windows 7 user it puts it as a .zip file and doesnt include it in the name you see under the icon. Call me crazy but I think my problem this whole time was that I was adding a .zip to the end of each name. When I tried it without the name it worked!!!.
Thanks Mr. Shroom I gave u like a thank thing if that matters

I've been trying to install a custom rom to my htc hero (gsm) but it seemes like i can't root it properly.. i've used androot to root with, and tjecked if the mobile was rooted through busybox and various apps, and it all tjecks out, it gives su permission to the android terminal, and i can delete obligatory apps that i dont need from the phone without a problem, but when i try to setup another recovery to install custom roms im stuck, the terminal can't go that far.. just trying to reboot from the terminal isn't allowed..
So have anybody experienced the same issue?
and idea what to try next?
There was the same thing with my phone
Then I found a thread which said there are several different ways to apply recovery.zip. some of them difn't work for me either. Now I can't remember which method worked for me, but I'll share tgat thread as soon as I get to my notebook just wait for it
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
ok, this is how I have done.
put the recovery.zip in SD card
run Androot and do ROOT.
run Terminal Emulator.
execute the following commands
su (wait for superuser request and accept it)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
the reboot command won't work, so just turn off the phone and boot into recovery (Home+Power)
that's it.
If this method doesn't work, try this one
do Androot
run ROM Manager
press "Flash clockwork recovery"
grant superuser permissions
wait
boot into recovery
And another way to apply recovery via Droid Explorer
download and install Droid Explorer on your PC
USB Debugging must be turned on in the phone
connect via usb and run the program
coose Flash Recovery Image plugin and fill th path to recovery.img
It should do the job...
you sir. are awesome!
i've tried the two first methods before, they didn't work
but the last one did
another question now:
im in the system recovery and i've done everything i need to install a custom rom (cyanogenmod) but it stops installing:
E: No signature (775 files)
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted.
what to do now?
first of all, I'm not a Sir. I'm a Miss
and I'm glad I helped you
and third. Personally I haven't tryed cyanogenmod, so I'm not sure why the install package couldn't be verified. Try redownloading the zip. Maybe it is corrupt. If not, did you follow ALL these steps? I found it in this thread with the same question as yours. And he solved it this way.
Hope this will help...
hmh didn't expect that, and your quite smart too ^^
it's way my own fault, i repacked the zip that was the problem
cyanogenmod is damn nice
though it's the first rom ever to try out, it seems stable enough..
it's just good to fully control your own device
thanks
And yeah, cyanogen is nice

FIX ::D
LMFAO was about to post that same thing arvan had (in my own words) till i actually read the whole threat.
THanks to Arvan its exactly how u fix this issue
]Verification issue
flash clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 by installing rom manager and pressing on the option
to fix the signature issue press on install zip from sd, then on toggle signature verification on your clockworkmod recovery if u have this. if not try flashing this recovery image its very complete and useful
then choose form sd and as it says choose your rom and flash and reboot
there u go
have a good day

hi there,
just got a gtab and wanted to install a custom ROM.
i am trying to go into bootloader, by pressing power and volume up keys and letting go when i see 'recovery key detected' but when i do that a second line shows 'bootig recovery kernal image' and it stay just like that. it does not actually go into menu system and it just stays there !!!!
the tabet loads jsut fine if i dont want to go into bootloader.
what am i doing wrong here pls ?
I believe you are referring to the "recovery" not the "bootloader"... completely different!!!
Anyhow, if you have a stock G-tablet... the stock recovery has no "menu"... the menu in the recovery is present in only the 1.2 based stock ROM... or if you installed CWM...
You need to copy the zip, re-named as "updated.zip", to the internal SD and create a folder named "recovery" with the recovery command in a file named "command"... look though the forum for examples and info...
hi and thanks. yes, i got a little confussed with the terminology !
i see that i have a TapUI version 1.2-4349 which according to you i should be able to see the menu right ?
shall i downgrade to 1.1-3588 as i would like to install custom roms anyways ?
thanks.
If you want any custom roms or kernels you need to remove the locked bootloader by using gojimis tool or nvflash.
same issue

I am absolutely new to this Android ROM installs on the phones. Though I decided to install this ROM I absolutely didn’t’ have any idea how to proceed. As a beginner I started doing the following in order.
Download and Keep the CM7 ROM
1. Downloaded Ba2F.zip to my laptop
2. Downloaded and Installed the Motorola USB drivers MotoHelper_2.0.53_Driver_5.2.0.EXE
3. Connect the Atrix and set the USB option on the phone to “USB Mass Storage”
4. Copy both BaTF.zip as well as the Extracted one to Phone internal storage as well as the Ext-SDcard on the phone
Download ROM Manager and Titanium Backup
1. Downloaded both from Android Market (ROM Manager Pro and Titanium Backup Free Version)
2. Both Apps won’t open because I had not ROOTED the phone
Root the Phone
1. I used “Pete's Motorola Root Tools.EXE” file to ROOT the phone
2. Followed step by step as mentioned here http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-motorola-atrix-4g-35233/
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
1. I used ROM Manager to do this as when you try to do anything in ROM manager it prompts to do this. The version of this is 5.0.2.0 ( I am not sure what is this for why we have to do this)
Unlocking the Bootloader
1. What I learned is, to unlock the bootloader, we have to first flash the phone with the SBF file
a. Installed RSDLite5.3.1.msi
b. Loaded the file 4547-fix-try2.sbf (Downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261)
c. Boot the phone with Power+volume UPPER key pressed till "Starting RSD protocol support" comes up
d. Connect to the Laptop and Hit Start button in RSD Lite Program
e. It Did Throw an error saying “FAIL” after showing the following message
i. Failed to boot: error 0x1000'( not word for word). There will also be a list of boot options like Fastboot, RSD, Recovery, etc. And it says Starting Fastboot Protocol
2. Then comes unlocking the phone
a. Though I had the previous error message, it still had the Fastboot Protocol loaded
b. I went to the FASTBOOT folder in command prompt of my laptop executed the following to unlock the phone which worked perfectly as I see the “Unlock” on the left hand corner when phone boots
c. fastboot oem unlock (it gave me the code) then I used the code to unlock
d. fastboot oem unlock #######
e. fastboot reboot
3. Installing the recovery IMG
a. I had downloaded the Recovery IMG file (recovery-atrix5.img) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
b. Booted the phone into Fastboot mode (turn off phone, hold power and volume down key until 'fastboot' appears then use volume up to select so it says 'starting fastboot protocol support').
c. From the CMD promnt and FASTBOOT directory I used fastboot erase recovery
d. Then I executed fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img (Note: I didn’t rename the file to recovery as suggested by some people)
e. Then gave fastboot reboot to restart.
4. Booting into Recovery mode (This is where I have the problem)
a. The phone is not booting into recovery it’s not going past the Android and yellow Triangle screen
b. I re-flashed the phone same SBF file (this time it was a success showed in the RSD Lite Program), re-installed the same IMG file after renaming to recovery.img
c. Also tried with a different IMG from the same link (recovery-blue-atrix5.img) but no luck
d. Also deleted the file install-recovery.sh from ./etc/ folder (bought the app root manager to delete the file) and then push the recovery.img, no luck
e. Some people said to TAP the bottom right corner while on that screen, did that but nothing is happening
f. Then I saw a note to press both the Volume Keys at the same time, this works but in this mode the cursor (I mean the selection) on the phone doesn’t go to the First TWO (i and iii) shown below, it allows me to select any of the last FOUR (v, vi, vii, viii).
i. Android System Recovery <3e>
ii. <EMPTY LINE >
iii. Android System Recovery utility
iv. <EMPTY LINE >
v. Reboot System now
vi. Apply update from sdcard
vii. Wipe data/factory reset
viii. Wipe cache partition
g. Using the above option I did factory reset but sill no results.
5. Current condition of the phone
a. It boots in unlock mode and I can do all the daily tasks. But I want to install the CM7 ROM that’s my requirement
PLEASE HELP HELP HELP
First of all, I applaud your effort in giving the a very comprehensive description of your issue.
Second, it seems you are having issues with installing a custom recovery because the recovery you're describing is still the stock recovery. I'll look around and see if I can find something that might help.

Have you tried re-installing the CWM from RomManager through RomManager? And then boot into recovery from within the app?
---------- Post added at 11:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
EDIT: This might seem trivial, but is "USB Debugging" turned on?
You are the Man, I just flashed the same CWM 5.0.2.0 and i am in the recovery mode. This gave me an error when i did last time hence i didn't try again.
Thanks a bunch
Glad I can help, also, I think it's recommended to use the RomManager recovery for CM7 so good thing it worked.

Oops.. started again, Can i use the recovery-atrix5.img and ROM manager flash it? if yes, then how?
I copy this file (after renaming to recovery.img) to both internal storage and SD card then what option should i choose in ROM Manager?
If you downloaded the CWM zip file for the romracer recovery and as long as RomManager's recovery is working then, yes, you can.

See post#2 from romracer's thread. Read the Miscellaneous part. Probably need to get rid of, or backup, install-recovery.sh.
He has mentioned he already did that. In his OP, under the steps he took look at "Booting into Recovery Mode" - 4.d, he says he removed it.
Maybe he's not doing it in the right order? Do you happen to know which should be done first as far as installing recovery and removing said file?

Woops, I should have read more carefully. It's best to remove the file first and then flash the recovery.img, or else the script will install the stock recovery on boot. That would make stock recovery the current one on the phone at the time of the script getting deleted.
I would double check and make sure /system/etc does not have install-recovery.sh. If it is not there, then proceed to the fastboot steps and reflash the recovery.img again. It should stick this time.
@Ghost, yes i deleted the file multiple times however i didn't find the /system/etc folder on the Internal Storage. however I found the install-recovery.sh file under /etc folder. The thing i observed that whether i flash it with a new CWM or not if i reboot the phone then it was created by itself.
@Live4nyy, Thanks for your suggestion, I could able to install CM7 now and it looks awesome good so far, but looks like i need to install Google Apps separately to access the APP market, am I right?
The only thing that happens to me is, it allowed me to go to Recovery only ONCE after i Flashed it thru ROM Manager, if i exit out of recovery without doing anything then next time tried to go to Recovery, it will struck at the same old Android screen and i had to flash it again. But Many thanks for suggesting to flash it thru ROM Manager.
Now with CM7, under ROM Manager (I guess this comes default with CM7) I see there is no version listed under "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery" and it says i must have to install it in-order to Flash and restore ROMs, do i need to do that? I can go to Recovery mode after reboot without any issues. Please Advise.

I just checked out my girlfriend's stock, locked, unrooted Atrix and she actually has install-recovery.sh in both /etc and /system/etc. Her file manager does not alphabetize anything in either folder, so I almost overlooked the second one.
If you're already on CM7, then you probably won't need to worry anymore. They have an entirely different set of start up scripts in that folder. Welcome to the community!
At this point I do not know enough to help you any further with this issue. All I knew about is the file that needs to be removed that @ghost_og has mentioned. But if you can flash it from RomManager and access CWM from there as well then I guess that's a good enough workaround for now.
Does anyone else have any idea why the stock recovery cannot be removed?

I am good to go now, everything seems to be functioning well after flashing CM7 ROM, no more recovery issues, and the Stock recovery is gone now.

[FIX] CWM 5.0.2.7 Fastboot Update Error (on Bulletproof ROM) "Main version is older!"
Now that you have unlocked your bootloader you can now obtain root.
The easiest way to do this would be by installing a custom recovery.
I created a simple bat script that should update your recovery for you.
Boot up your phone and connect it to your computer by usb cable.
Go to Settings --> Applications --> Development.
Check USB debugging.
Unzip the attached file and run the Flash.bat file as Administrator.
Your phone should reboot and go to a white screen.
It should update the recovery for you automatically and reboot.
Now you should have yourself a custom recovery.
[FIX] CWM 5.0.2.7 Fastboot Update Error (on Bulletproof ROM) "Main version is older!"
Hey guys! So, if you are like me, you install any ROM that anyone recommends to you pretty much instantly. So, for those of you that did this, and installed Bulletproof (not sure if this only applies to Bulletproof, though), than you may be having a few minor issues: You can't charge your phone when it is off, and CWM Recovery doesn't detect your internal SD card. And when you try to install X's new 5.0.2.7 CWM via fastboot, it tells you that the "main version is older" and aborts the install. But, Thanks to Binary (Really, thanks bro, you fixed my problems perfectly.) You can install it without any trouble.

The problem with this is that not everybody has that firmware version and will be obsolete again with the next OTA update. The trick is to use fastboot.
I just copied step three to your thread but unfortunately it took it's place to the top since it's older than your post. Sorry about that. But you should use that method instead since it's universal.

It's fine. Again, thanks for the fix!
a friend gave me his legend so i can update it to a better rom
i'm planing on CM7.2 KANG build
the phone is stock, from local operator...
S-ON
HBOOT: 0.43.0003
RADIO: 7.08.35.21
FW: 2.1-update1
baseband: 47.39.35.09U_7.08.35.21
build: 2.05.461.52 CL218650
i know that i can SOFF it via a tool HTC has released but i also know that i don't really need it and i can use CM even with C-ON (am i right?)
most root guides i see are for 1.01 and not 0.43 so i prefer asking then killing the phone
You don't want to unlock the bootloader with HTC's tool! You can flash the Alpharev bootloader! That one allows everything, even downgrading.
REMEMBER: ROOTING WILL VOID WARRANTY AND YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSEBILITY!!
To root if you have S-OFF:
- First download any rooted rom (eg the 7.2 KANG rom) and CWM recovery (You want the S-OFF .img file): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290841 Put the rooted ROM on your SD card. You'l need the recovery later.
- Download fastboot (I uploaded it for you to make it easier: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/33521967/fastboot.exe) Then put fastboot in a folder. Also put the CWM recovery image in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Then do Shift + Right click on the folder and chose "open command prompt here" then do
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-legend.img
Now turn of your phone then press volume down + power at the same time. Navigate to recovery using the volume buttons. Then press the power button. Now the phone should boot in Clockworkmod recovery.
Now you can use the trackball of your phone to scroll down to install zip from SD card en click on the trackball to choose that option. Now select choose zip from SD card. Now you'll see the contents of your SD card. Scroll down the .zip file of the rooted ROM you downloaded and click on the trackball again. Now choose Yes - Install ............. (WARNING THIS WILL DELETE EVERYTHING ON THE PHONE!) after a succesfull install of the ROM you have a rooted device!
i tried Alpharev made problems
i used this guide to downgrade to 1.13 and root
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-legend/
in the CWM S-on option
do i rename the zip file to update.zip?
If you don't want S-OFF you can use that guide the unlocker. And if you use the S-ON CWM then you use FakeFlash, You have to rename the CWM zip package to update.zip, boot up in recovery, then select update.zip, you'll get CWM recovery.
But if you want S-OFF, what problems do you have with Alpharev? With S-OFF it's way easier, you don't need to downgrade ur ROM, you can just flash anything, like I said in my previous post.
ITS ALIVE!!!
