Hi everyone.
I'm pretty new to android, but I'm quite good at following instructions. Basically I've tried doing a nandroid backup with ROM Manager and everytime it reboots to make a backup it goes to a black screen with a phone in the middle of the screen with a red warning sign next to it. I've always tried booting into recovery and I get the same result. I first found this out while trying to follow the instructions for replacing the status and battery icons. Has anyone else had this issue?
I'm using ROM Manager v3.0.0.1 on a stock HTC MySense ROM from TMO running Android v2.2.1.
Thanks in advance for anyone that knows what I'm apparently doing wrong.
when you opened ROM Manager did you select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"? if not try that, it's the only time mine has what your's is doing. I got a little excited to flash Iced-Glacier when I first got the phone and accidentally skipped that step and had same issue
Yeah I first clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it currently says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2. I just redid the flash and tried to boot into recovery mode and I'm still getting that error picture upon reboot.
Is there a setting on the phone somewhere that would cause this?
I am not positive 100% but I think I know what you mean; and I had it once due to very low battery charge. See if it is the problem or not.

The phone with the triangle is the stock recovery image. Others have had to try flash the ClockworkMod Recovery several times. You may need to as well.
this is what i did, not sure if your doing the same thing or not. i clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, MY4G came up and i clicked that and then clicked on backup current rom.
Alright so I've tried it with a full battery and I had the same result. I also tried reflashing several times with the current version and rebooting. I even tried to load some of the older versions of clockwork through ROM Manager and everytime I tried it spits out an error. I don't understand how I could be having such a hard time with something everyone seems to be able to do effortlessly.

R u sure u r rooted with S-off? If u r then u may have to flash recovery from ADB. Some people have not been able to get recovery to stick through ROM manager. There is a thread in the development section that explains how to do this.

Really? I have not heard that...I'll have to check up on that. It seems that this problem would be more common, but I guess not as I have had little luck in finding information on my own about this problem.
Just in case anyone is following this thread with the same problem as me, this is the post that the previous poster was referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852905&highlight=recovery
UPDATE:
Ok I figured out what was wrong. Apparently although I had root access on my phone and able to run things like Titanium Pro and Adfree and others with root privileges it wasn't good enough.
I followed the instructions here on how to permaroot your phone by pushing gfree to it. Once I did that I attempted to manually flash clockworkmod, which I ended up running into other issues. On a lark I tried installing clockworkmod through ROM Manager after permarooting and it finally installed it properly!
I love doing stuff like this, thanks to everyone for their input as it guided me to finally solving this. I'm off to do a nandroid backup now.

I have NEVER been able to flash Recovery with ROM manager. It says it does it but corrupts if everytime! Note: There has been some recent updates to ROM Manager and I haven't tried lately.

IIRC the security protocol doesn't have to be off to flash clockwork ROM you do have to be rooted, VISONary.apk of course. I've turned my S=on just to make sure and it [clockworkROM] works pretty flawlessly.
Hey hey, it's great to see infraled out here! I am rooted/S=Off via the first VISIONary thread that was posted...

I installed Clockwork, flashed Clockwork Recovery and was expecting to have to do it twice, as outlined in this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858021
It only took one shot for me and it worked perfectly. The very first try, I powered off, powered on w/ vol down, went into Recovery and wham, there was Clockwork in its green glory. I figured I was just lucky and that once I rebooted, it would be lost and I'd have to flash again. Not so. Did a backup right away, worked flawlessly.
Looking forward to Iced Glacier, eVil and Cyanogen over the holiday break...

Cyanogen Gets my vote... But i've always loved T/DB's ROMS.
Recently rooted My new MyTouch 4G, downloaded the paid version of rom manager. I didn't understand why there are none of the current roms like the iced glacier, roms made by evil and several others listed as possible roms for flashing. The only roms are the cyanogenmod nightly builds. The cyanogenmod 6.1.2 RC2 isn't listed either. Do I need to do anything to get those listed or is that just the way it is???
Thank you,
Vinny
OK, Ive tried all day W/O any luck, using every method I came across here in the forums, I thought I had the solution with Eugenes stock Froyo with the 2E recovery mode ROM TAR file, but the link to get it is no longer working. And yes Im rooted with ROM MANAGER and have version CWM recovery flashed to: 2.5.1.2
This is a replacement phone I got last month, and all I can say is its a F--kin POS, compared to the earlier model, that wasn't HW locked and had the 2E recovery mode working with CMR. I tried updating the newer update.zip file, but it wont load because of signature verification! Does anyone know how to replace the update file with a script that will allow CMR to go into the 2e recovery [green] menu so I can once again start flashing a custom ROM again, this phones obviously HW locked and is preventing this, and all I keep getting is the Samsung 3E [Blue] menu which wont allow you to select a ROM from the SD card. I need the 2E menu!! Thanks!!
Have you tried flashing the fix for HW locked phones?

I had a H/W locked Vibrant. What I did was go to the main page of XDA and search for Hardware locked Vibrant and there is one that is for Odin made by Untermensch. Edit: here's the link for it. Good luck.

You can also use adb to reboot into recovery and flash an image that includes the bootloaders. As suggested, search the forums and it should turn up. On my phone, or I would link to a relevant thread.

Actually if you have CWM recovery installed, you can install ROM Manager, and use it to reboot into recovery.

Tried that one a couple of times Bro, did exactly like it said, problem is it wont go past the signature check, because its a zipped file, I also tried replacing the script with what was supposed to be the fix, using root explorer going into system/bin/recovery and overwriting that older script, and that didn't work either, and then I tried using the ADB program while in shell root, and it wouldn't co-operate either, I mean nothing outa all the things I found looking thru the forum is working, and the only one that would've worked for sure would have been Eugenes solid Froyo build with the 2E recovery and Busybox and the other goodies, if the link was somewhere that I could obtain that, I would've ODIN'd that and it would've taken care of the problem and Id be sleeping right now with my vibrant finally working like it used too. I just don't care for using stock Froyo. But, I should've never exchanged this phone after I bricked the first one, using KIE's- found out about that horror stories about 5 mins too late!! I should've just had it JTAG'd by Josh over a Mobile tech, Im so f--kin pissed that they sent me a HW locked phone. Older is better with these phones, the newer ones have all these issues you gotta deal with before you can even Mod the GD things now!!
Anyway, I'm still stuck with nothing but 3E menu and there seems to be no GD way i can flash another ROM until this is resolved. I already tried to flash a ROM using CWM with the install from SD card, but it wont allow the ROM to open because of the signature problem again plus it goes back to the 3e menu, and when ya only have one option saying re-install package, it wont follow thru, and hangs because of the signature issue. Its a vicious cycle, and unless 2E becomes doable, this phones stuck at Froyo, and thats un-acceptable!!

Well Ill just at least thank you for the effort of replying.
But you got it backwards pal, you gotta have root and ROM Manager installed first , then you get the flash clockwork recovery mandate, otherwise ya cant go into recovery W/O it!! thanks anyway. Oh and BTW, Im really not too keen on messing with the SBL by itself, as that one thing alone can brick these phones, if it gets corrupted during ODIN flashing and Ive already been down that route when KIES corrupted the primary and SBL and bricked my phone!! LOL
Nevermind...
Easiest is to Odin one of supercurio's voodoo kernels (Google "xda vibrant supercurio voodoo kernel"). This will bypass all the update.zip/2e/3e/signature verification error crap and give you cwm as the default recovery built in. No need to flash recovery with rom manager either.
Or, Odin back to jfd, flash recovery using rom manager (better yet, here it is; http://db.tt/Klybpxeo), then install the rom you want.

Well, I managed to get a hold of Eugenes Froyo with the 2E recovery in it, and It still goes to the blue Samsung screen, but does say 2E, WTF!! I'm done I guess this phone will never be unlocked to get the green screen to flash a custom ROM, F--kin TMO screwed me hard. I cant believe that after 8 different attempts/methods I still cant get the green 2E screen. GDmt This just flat out sucks, I guess my Modding days are over with this phone!! F--kin Samsung Kies is what started this whole f--kin thing, and TMO then sends a HW locked phone you cant do **** with!! I wish someone works on this problem with a solution that actually works, cuz none of the ones I tried worked, and I tried them all, but were still stuck with the CMR blue screen even though it does say 2E, WTF, not understanding this, I thought flashing this ROM would've done it!!

Go back to my post right above this. I posted the cwm update.zip. since you have 2e recovery, select "reinstall packages" (or whatever it is), and you'll have your green cwm screen...

Flashed it with SCio's 5.5 lag Fix, using ODIN and wholla, Got my 2e GREEN SCREEN AGAIN, WERE BACK IN BUSINESS!!! As Gomer Pyle would say" Thank ya, Thank ya, Thank Ya" !!! I wish I knew exactly how or why it worked, but writing a kernel seems to have alot of merit to it, when sidestepping a problem like this with a HW locked phone. Anyway Appreciate ya, oh and BTW, In the beginning when I did start with JFD, and rooted it, and installed Rom Manger, I never got it to cooperate either, in spite of about 2 to 3 suggestions to do just that!! IDK- Go figure right!! Seems alot of problems with these phones in flashing is to do it multiple times until it decides to give it up or you hit the sweet spot!!
Just like the title says why should we not use rom-manager on this phone?
from what i can remember it installs a ****ty version of CWM that doesn't cooperate well with our phones.

gotcha. i wish koush would do something about rom manager because the atrix also had a wipping issues on roms and he never fixed it
From my recent experience with the SGSII, the recovery is integrated into the kernel (unlike HTC devices which have a dedicated partition for it). My guess is ROM Manager can't flash it, since it doesn't have the kernel image.

Haha too funny I was literally wondering this last night. Glad you asked kuz I couldn't find an answer when I did a quick search.
Edit: so I've been running miui this week and see the app rom manager. I'm fine as long as i don't actually do anything through it correct?

It breaks and does weird crap - I've heard it works OK if (and only if) you are currently on CM7.
But since you're most likely using it to move to/from another ROM... Just three-finger into recovery or if the ROM has an extended power menu use that for recovery.
Its best to just use three-finger or the extend menu power menu like Entropy said. I've seen Rom manager mess up leading to a semi-brick phone.
Hey all,
First time poster and new to rooting.
I ended up attempting to use rom manager to load CWM right after root, but I think that borked my wifi.
What can I do if I've already used it? I did it because I hadn't yet seen all the xda threads on NOT using it, and the place I was was not as well informed as you folks.
Also, how do I get CWM if not via ROM Manager?
My brothers EVO was royally effed up from using ROM Manager. Became a paperweight until Sprint authorized a replacement.

Read through the FAQs and this thread - CWM is included in kernels that support it.

I ended up figuring most of this out so I wanted to close this out (for anyone that stumbles past my original post).
Here's what I did:
I uninstalled ROM Manager - but this didn't get the wifi going.
I reflashed with the stock ROM and unrooted kernel - this still didn't help.
I did a factory reset - this did manage to get it going.
I was able to track down a CWM standalone that I flashed it with (using Odin).
I followed that up with a root, a wipe, and then a fresh flash of UnNamed.
Phone seems to be working fine.

When I first rooted my phone I installed rom manager because it looked easier to just pick the file that u wanted flashed and it would do it for u, so u wouldn't have to play with the volume keys. But every time I tried to do anything with it, it just said certificate not found. Aborting. So u shouldn't use rom manager. I think it works with the roms that u download of the app but not ones from XDA.

If you're on CM7, ROM Manager can be used to install gapps - that's about the only thing it doesn't seem to choke on.

You cannot get CWM via ROM Manager - that is the point. It comes with certain custom kernels such as Entropy's DD kernel. If you do not have a CWM kernel - you will more than likly need to use Odin to get a kernel with CWM.
If you have totally screwed things up - look in the dev thread for "the return to stock" section and start over doing it the right way

Hi first post as well XDA forums so in depth and helpful decided I wanted to be apart of it. Still a noob though ill work my way up.
I am trying acheive the same goal he is, that is to say Instal the UnNamed (it is exactly what I want) Rom on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
Keep it brief: Rooted my phone using root exploit:
it will not let me post link. the zergrush one
and bellow flashed clockwork mode using stand alone not ROM because of this forum. Model 5.0.2.6
I wipe catch, battery, then format everything. Then I start to flash the ROM. The installation begins. It cleans and formats everything again, then sais that there was an error in the file and it fails. After this if I dont restore my phone will not start. Ive tried it several times being even more thorough on procedure and its the exact same error every time.
Im just wondering if its the way I rooted it is incorrect, The CWM Im using is not the correct one, or if Im doing something wrong entirely. I think it might be CWM but I have not been able to locate one like he did that worked.
Any help, suggestions, criticism or advice would be very helpful. I just thought Id ask. thanks in advance ^^

UnNamed is not a Skyrocket ROM nor are any other ROMs in this subforum. You want to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1399
So I was pretty determined to get Cm 10.1 running on my Galaxy Note 2 for Verizon. Before hand, I was using TWRP to do all my ROM flashings but when I tried to use CM 10.1, I was told I must use CWM for it to work properly.
Here's my issue, I tried using CWM but it kept on giving me an error and after searching for awhile, it said its because I'm trying to use TWRP instead of CWM. So I flashed CWM and it gave me the same error. Tried both Touch and regular, downgraded and upgraded to the latest CWM but still same error. So I said **** it and installed the lastest TWRP. Then all the ROMs that were giving me issues started to install flawlessly. Then I went to CWM and it gave me the same error.
Am I doing something wrong when I flash CWM? I tried both Odin and APP Update way and both with same results. After using TWRP for awhile, I actually am starting to like the CWM Touch a lot better and I want to switch but not if its going to be giving me problems every flash.
Any insight would be helpful,
and as always to everyone on this forum, thanks
Just make sure you are using the latest version of TWRP 2.5 and you will be fine. You also may need to re-download your ROM file.
Well I am, in a way, stuck using the TWRP right now but I would like to know if I can actually change it to CWM. And if so, how would I go about doing that? because flashing the CWM alone isn't doing anything for me.

That is the way I have always gone about getting CWM on my phone back when I wanted it. I would just flash over TWRP in TWRP and then reboot system and then reboot back into recovery and it would always be CWM. If it doesnt work for you that way then see if they have a Odin tar and if so follow the instructions to flash it in Odin. They may not have an Odin flashable though, its been a long time since I have used it and on a different phone so....

Let me actually rephrase this. (My bad for any confusion)
So if I try to flash a rom using TWRP, it goes through without any issues, even the CM rom. But when I flash CWM and try flashing, it gives me the getdevice-"(t0vzwte)"-not exact".. When researching, I was kept on told its because it is running TWRP. I tell them its CWM and they told me to update my CWM. I actually like CWM a bit better, idk why. but I was just trying to get my phone 100% the way I want it.

No. Dont know how. I'll try now............. Upon looking I can't see my phone on the list of compatible ROMs for CWM. I hear that cwm works on my phone but dont know how to I stall. Don't wanna brick again. Tried with original. And got stuck on startup screen.

It's not the ROM that needs to be compatible, it's the device. Below is a link of the entire list of devices that are compatible with the clockwork recovery
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
And this is the link of the entire list of compatible devices twrp.
http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices
If your device is not on either of these lists , that means it is not officially supported. Does not mean it is not available. A developer may have compiled a copy specifically for your device. In which case, if you look at the "Original Android development" forums for your device it would be there. If you cannot find it there, it probably does not exist.

OK bro, took me some time but found and flashed CWM to my Samsung galaxy exhibit t599n. Now my dilemma is that when I try to flash recovery I loop back to CWM recovery screen. Tried to install Cerberus from Rom Manager and used the in app flash tool. It installed and when I clicked reboot. It just kept going to the recovery screen. Thanks too for the advice earlier. That really helped. Now, please help me to avoid this looping. I think I may be doing something wrong or leaving out something.
