Okay, here's the story.
I rooted my phone, turned S-ON, and installed Cyanogen 7 RC-1. So far so good.
Next I threw on ROM Manager, and got the premium version. I updated CWR to 5.0.2.0. And then went to play.
Well, first thing I noticed was ROM Manager kept erroring out when it rebooted into recovery. The error report is something about being "unable to locate dev/tty0". That was when I noticed something.
In ROM Manager, it says Clockwork is updated to 5.0.2.0
But in Recovery Mode it says 2.5.1.2
So far, I've tried "Erase Recovery", flashing to 3.0.0.8 and seeing if that worked (it didnt'). Then i tried going back up to 5.0.2.0. That didn't work either.
I tried a manual instal of 5.0.2.0 and the system didn't even recognize the file, so I probably did something wrong there.
I'm just lost. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I just want to flash some ROMs with up to date soft-/firm-ware.
new version is buggy
i had an update for my clockwork mod when i tried to download a rom so installed the updated clockwork but in the end i found the new version 5 to be very buggy but if you want to try just try installing another rom (do a nandroid backup first) and it should install the new recovery but in my oppinion i wouldnt bother upgrading why update something that works thats the common saying
Well, in this case, I'm trying to upgrade from Cyanogen (which I've backed up), to Synergy's GingerSense RS1 for the Droid Incredible. However, while it flashes the ROM, it hangs on the boot up screen when rebooting, so I have to go back to Cyanogen. What got this whole thing started was figuring out what I had to do to get that working.
I'm on HBOOT 079, CWR 2.5.1.2, and none of ROM Managers automated features work because of the "Can't located /dev/tty0" function. The only advice I could find online for that was that 2.5.x is too old, and I need at least 3.0.0.8 to load some of these ROMs.
Small error, I didn't run "unrevoked-forever" so I'm not S-OFF yet.

You did say you "turned S-ON" but really you just, as you said, didn't have S-OFF. So I'm guessing your problem was solved when you got S-OFF and tried again right?
Yup, I just fixed the S-ON issue into S-OFF, and lo and behold it worked.
*looks around sheepishly* Let us never speak of this again.

THIS THREAD IS NO LONGER RELEVANT AS IT IS FOR A DIFFERENT ISSUE FROM THE PAST... IT GOT BROUGHT BACK TO THE TOP. DONT CONFUSE THIS WITH THE 3E RECOVERY "ISSUE"
THE BELOW ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY KOUSH. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FLASH CWR VIA ROM MANAGER LIKE NORMAL NOW. IF YOU STILL HAVE ISSUES, THERE IS A FIX POSTED BELOW, THANKS!
Update from koush:
@clockworkmod Hey all, flashing recoveries through ROM Manager is busted. We hit a bandwidth/CPU quota on Google App engine.
If you are trying to flash Clockwork Recovery for the first time, it appears that a lot of users are having issues over the past 24 hours.
Normally, you would:
download Rom Manager
Click Flash Clockwork Recovery
it will ask for root privelages
you would select the Vibrant as your phone
after it downloaded CWR you would get a successful pop-up....
you could then click on reboot into recovery (and since it was the first time you would go to the stock recovery, click reinstall packages, and THEN you would go to Clockwork Recovery)....
well.... people can't seem to get there now. I am NOT having issues as I already have CWR. However, if you are, please download this file on your phones browser (just so you dont have to mount your phone to your pc.... which you can do if you prefer)
FILE DOWNLOAD HERE: View attachment update.zip
Move this file to the root of your internal memory. If you have any other update.zip file you can just overwrite it, or delete it prior to moving this file over, your choice....
NOW, go back to your stock recovery and press reintall packages.... you should go to CWR, if not, press to reinstall again... still no luck? blasphemy.
With all of that said, I need someone to post that this successfully works (it should, and you really can't lose anything)
I am contacting koush for an explanation of what's wrong....
i will check this out
everytime i boot into recovery and press reinstall packages my just restarts phone and i can't get into clockwork.
You generally have to tell it to reinstall packages twice.
^ that has not been the case for me.. but try it twice if if doesn't work the first time!
Yeah, it may depend on the ROM being run or something, but I've noticed it quite a bit.
yeah, something happened when rom manager updated in the last day where flashing recovery isnt compatable with galaxy s devices anymore. drove me freakin crazy cuz i just dl'ed nero and went to install and couldnt.
thank you again. +10 internets to u.
I started having an issue after flashing eugenes super kernel. I did a.clean install of axura and problem went away.
Powered by Axura
^ the rom would have nothing to do with it.
Koush has fixed this, it was server related.
THE BELOW ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY KOUSH. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FLASH CWR VIA ROM MANAGER LIKE NORMAL NOW (NORMAL STEPS STILL INCLUDED BELOW). I KNEW THIS WOULD BE A QUICK FIX FOR KOUSH!
As of 10mins ago i was having this problem.
But thanks to this post and installing the downloaded update I'm back up!
Rom manager gave me errors when flashing the clockwork recovery
so had to go to the update.zip and i'm now back!
Dont think rom manager in the market has been updated
[i was coming from a odin[ed] JFD stock.
hope this helps someone else!
Thanks... this works for me :\
I flashed to JL4 and had a freaking wifi boot loop and gotta go back to Eugene's does not brick ROM and found out can't install CWM via ROM manager
I don't know if its supposed to fix it, but even after flashing this Im still having issues with ROM manager. Get an error every time I try to update the recovery. Also, I can't remember the last time fix permissions actually worked (eclair maybe?).
Anyone else feel my pain?
This is a fix, and you trying to update the recovery is no different than those who have issues not even using my .zip....
I updated the op with a tweet from koush. He has a fix on his site too (might as well download it from here though?
I downloaded the new update, still can't get into clock work. When I hit reinstall packages it says ... E: error /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted

^^^ I'm having the same problem as well right now.
reinstall off market and it works
I thought I was sunk until an hour of searching found this post. Thank you all so much!
I have after upgrade to K6 the error messeage:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I've try the update.zip from the 1st post,
reinstalled via market
update und select the Vibrant modell
everytime the same...
the phone is rooted via SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse
Any help ?
None of this works because none of it addresses the real problem ,3E signature. Way to much trouble to go thru.
^ This thread was created when the Clockwork servers were down... it has absolutely nothing to do with 3e recovery... as that didnt even exist when this thread was created... hopefully others are not confused now that it was brought back to the top.
I didn't update it yet, because the thread was dead.
And to be fair the OP did have this:

Guys,
I have tried several roms and decided to odin back to 2.1, updated to 2.2 and just clean it up a bit and leave it as is for a while.
Everything went just fine, but yet again this damn clockwork recovery issue which I knew I would get but thought maybe it would be solved by now on rom managers side.
So, in rom manager, it shows that current recovery is 2.5.1.2 which matches the latest, however, when I reboot into recovery, I am still getting the standard 2.2 recovery console.
I tried searching but not sure what the issue is, of course I get the signature issue when I try to update package.
It's wierd that it's showing it's installed but it's not actually booting into the correct recovery console.
Thanks.

get the 1 from there, reinstall packages twice and it should go to clockwork recovery
Okay, obviously option b would be better, however, will I have to reroot after if I use option B?
Nadda, same results, it's okay though, I'll live with it for now since I'll keep 2.2 with all the crud removed for now.
Please read that guide. You've missed some key points. I'd explain more, but I'm hanging with my kid.. Read the guide.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post after a long time of lurking and shadow flashing. I originally had an HTC Evo 4G. Over time it developed a shoddy micro-USB port (no longer charges via micro-USB port) and had to get a new phone because it no longer powers on. My brother gave me his HTC Hero until the Galaxy Nexus hits Sprint (Q2 according to Sprint rep). Anyway, he gave it to me, already rooted, with CM7 running. I called Sprint to have them transfer service over to my new Hero, and advised me to reboot the phone, and upon reboot, it should be all ready to go. If it didn't auto sync, he gave me instructions on how to activate it. I rebooted, no service. I did the code like he told me to, did not work. I assumed it was because I was on an AOSP ROM and I needed to be on a Sense ROM (as it is with updating your PRI). I thought, okay, no big deal, just flash a Sense ROM and I should be all set to go. Wrong. Flashed a Sense ROM, and the Hero hangs on the white boot screen (the one with green HTC letters). I've tried several different Sense ROMS, and no luck on any of them. Any advice?
Thanks
Try an official RUU update package. You can always re-root afterwards.
Did official RUU update, now I'm back to stock. Still looking for a root that works. So far no luck.

Last time I tried this I used Androot on my buddies phone. It worked like a hot dam. After getting root I used ROM Manager to install a custom recovery. From there a custom ROM. (I just wanted to outline the steps in case you didn't know)

Thanks for the help. I managed to get rooted through adb, got SU installed, but cannot get Clockwork Mod because ROM Manager is not in the market. I have the paid version, it's just a license and I still need the free version. Everytime I try to install it via SD card, it gives me an error and doesn't install. Is there any way to flash Clockwork Mod via bootloader or any other way besides ROM Manager?
I've attached a Rom Manager apk, download that then put into your phone and install, voila you can now flash cwm. I Don't think there is any other way to get cwm. Hope that's helped.

Thanks for the reply. I installed ROM Manager successfully, but when I try to flash Clockwork Mod I get the error "An error has occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Any advice?

Hm, not too sure what's gone wrong there. Although within the ROM Manager you could flash an alternate recovery, so scroll all the way down on the mainscreen of the app and you can from there flash RA Recovery, that should work fine. So try that.
Tried flashing the Alternate Recovery, looks like it's working, then I get the error message: "An error occurred while flashing your recovery." It seems like it's not getting SU permissions, because if I try to do anything else in ROM Manager, like fix permissions, I get "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!" Is there a way to manually set permissions within SU?

Hey all,
I'm very new to Cyanogen, so sorry if this is a very n00b question.
The ROM Manager doesn't appear to work. It keeps telling me I'm not running ClockWorkMod recovery, and cannot connect to the web to download. I purchased the premium version thinking it would solve this (as well as to support the dev), but no luck. Is it just an issue with the nightlies not capable of handling ROM manager yet, or is it a setting of some sort that I'm neglecting? It's not a huge deal, but it looks like such a nice, simple way to stay up-to-date with the nightly builds as opposed to updating through CWM, wiping, etc.
I saw a post mentioning to go into developer tools and enable root access. The closest I found was in settings and I allowed apps and ADB root access, but this didn't help.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
I'm a bit confused, Why do you require ROM manager? The CWM that is built in with the ICS Kang releases should be doing everything that is required, then again, your reply would matter.
I think I am having the same issue. When I try to Flash ClockworkMod Touch in Rom Manager it keeps telling me I need to first install ClockworkMod Recovery even though I have Recovery 5.5.0.4 currently installed. It did the same thing when I had Recovery 4.0.0.4 installed.
I even tried to "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" (First option in ROM Manager) and it does nothing.
Any ideas?
BEcause the same menu is in the CWM recovery lol
I'm following one of the threads that updates the kang build every 3 days, and as opposed to having to boot through CWM, wipe, install, then re-install apps and replace widgets, I thought I could update through ROM Manager instead.
It sounds like Sn0warmy and I are having similar issues.
From what I've heard the ROM Manager doesn't really work for the tab yet. If you want to update without replacing all your apps you can just flash the zip file in CWM without doing a wipe. If it causes problems then you could do a wipe & reflash afterwards.

ROM manager works but it's wonky on the ICS kangs. It doesn't do anything that you can't already do in recovery, so there's no real advantage anyways. Oh, and don't use ROM manager to install a new recovery, and CWR touch doesn't work for the GT10.
^You saved me the trouble of insisting Why thank you good sir.
Thanks for the replies. I'll keep updating through CWM.
Coffeebeans, obviously I'm following your thread (thanks for the good work!) and I tried flashing over once but I got a ton of process media FCs so I figured wiping was the best way to go and have done so ever since. Probably should invest in titanium backup at this point so I don't have to reinstall from market everytime I wipe.
Thanks again for the help y'all.
It worked once with 4/17 build of CM9. After that, it has never worked again. It boots into recovery and pretends its flashing, but stops half a second later and restarts.
Something odd happened today when I tried to update. It rebooted and phone locked up and screen went black. I took out the battery and put it back in then held up and power to go into CWM. All of a sudden Rom Manager took over and flashed the rom as well as the additional zips successfully and rebooted. Everything works.
CWM tries to flash from /emmc. Rom Manager tries to flash from /sdcard and fails. It may be due to the swapped mount points on CM9. in CWM they are still swapped, even if you check the use internal storage box and everything shows up properly in CM9.
I've been searching all morning to find another thread to see if this has been answered before. I was trying to install a GSM Rom onto my Rezound. The install failed at around 2 %. I'm almost positive I thought I was on the correct ICS firmware, when apparently I wasn't. So instead of trying to fight installing the rom over and over again. I had a back up rom that I installed instead. My problem I think is that I didn't go back and re wipe everything after the failed install.
Which I could slap myself for, but my problem is this. The phone can go into Hboot, which gives me hope not all is lost. But I can't go into recovery or boot up. The phone will only load the white HTC screen then just reboots over and over again. I've seen where it tries to load recovery but then just reboots. I'm not sure if I have to reload the RUU or what I have to do. If anyone has had this problem or knows of a thread on how to fix it I would greatly appreciate it.
Edit: Just a little about my phone if it helps.

Since you can't get to recovery it might be time to just put an RUU on you card and let hboot install it. Then you can install a recovery and then one of your backups.
Or just reinstall recovery

Ok, unfortunately I'm stuck at work and can't fix it right away. But I do thank you both for your help. I'll try the RUU first, since it needs to be done anyways. I was using Clockwork Mod Touch for my recovery before, is Amon Ra that much better ? I'll let you guys know the results soon as I can get it done.

If you plan to do a restore, stick to the same recovery.
Not sure how restoring over a previous rom borked your recovery though, that is weird.

Well I started off as I normally would, wiping data, wiping cache, wiping davlik, then installing. I tried one of the new JB roms Tron. But I couldn't get the GPS to work at all. So I stumbled across a GSM rom and went to install, it booted into it's own installation touch screen. I kept it simple not choosing many extras, then the last option was. Are you on ICS firmware? Which to my noobness, I've been running ICS roms since I acheived S-OFF. So I was pretty positive that I upgraded my firmware whenever I did that. So I chose Yes and it started to install, got to 2% and said it was done. Again I assumed the install had just failed and after having tried installing a GSM rom once before I had to go through and do it multiple times. I was tired and didn't feel like messing with it. So instead of rebooting, I went back into recovery and flashed another rom I had set on my SD card in case I didn't like the GSM. To which I think that my mistake came when I didn't either
A) Re-wipe my data, cache, davlik.
or
B) Restore my previous Rom from before.
So after the new rom installed and looked as everything went smooth. I selected reboot, the HTC white screen came up and the phone shut off. Then would power back up and display the HTC white screen and shut off again. So far the only thing I've been able to get it to do is the power cycle with the white screen and boot up in Hboot. But none of the options will work as the only thing it will do is power cycle. That's pretty much where I'm at until I can try reinstalling the RUU and flash the new(same) recovery.
The problem is nothing you've done there should have touched the recovery, that's why I find it weird.
I'd assume the rom asked which firmware you were on so it could installed the old firmware patch if needed.
Anyway, hopefully the RUU should straighten it out.
Well good news, re-installing the RUU fixed the phone. It re-locked my hboot, so I just finished unlocking that and re-flashing recovery. Thanks a bunch for all of your help. I greatly appreciate it !
