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)
**edit: found it. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598
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?

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)

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

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:

I have read through so many different tutorials and they are all very similar, but my phone stops the time after it starts to open the new rom.zip file. I have the newest clockwork mod installed but I still get the same problem. I have tried atleast ten different roms and always get the same problem. I have made two backups of my phone that were made before I tried to flash different roms, those go just fine but I always have the freezing problem when it tries open the .zip file for the the rom. Any help will be greatly appreciated and thank you.

So you have ROM manager installed from the market you say correct? And you are rooted as well right?
Once you open ROM mamager, I hope you're not trying to install from where it says "Install new ROM" (or something like that), cause that's not where you do it.
You have to click where it says "Flash clock work recovery" first, select your phone, then reboot into recovery, Install packages (most likely twice), then you'll be in CWR with green menu. Scroll to "Install from .zip">Choose zip> and finally "Yes" to flash your ROM.
Now, I'm just assuming this is what happened....next time try and to give more detail on what steps you took.
Thanks for your help, this what I did. Rebooted into recovery, then choose zip from sd card, choose the .zip file, it loads into the install screen, says finding packages, opening packages, installing packages. Then that's it. The status bar st the bottom does not move, avd I get nowhere until I just have to pull out the battery and reboot. I have my device rootes with the z4 app, I did that oclf install thing on that app. This phone is on stock everything I believe. What an I doing wrong?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I'm not sure with z4 root..never used it - I've always stuck with 2e...
What ROM are you trying to install? Is that ROM known to work fine with other devices? Sounds like it's not finding certain files/packages to start the installation process. I've had the same issue happen to me in the past as well.
My suggestions:
Try uninstalling ROM manager, re-downloaded it, re-install it, and re-flash CWR again.
Or, re-download the ROM you're trying to install, and see if maybe it was a bad zip.
or go to the bottom of Rom Manager and select a version lower than the newest one and reboot into recovery. I had to do that with version 2.5.1.2. I had to step down to v 2.5.1.1 to go into recovery.
I know I am on the jdf firmware and android 2.1 update 1. I just tried both of those suggestions, once I reinstalled rom manager I went to a lower version, same problem. Should I un root my vibrant and use adifferent method? Is other methods that are.as easy to root my vibrant as the z4 app or does it not even matter as long as it is rooted? I have tried to flash many different legit roms and same thing. Is it possible that something in busybox or oclf is causing this? Thanks for your advice so far. I also have the black evo bar up top from metamorph, could this be causing the problems
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
you should definately try to disable the z4 root and then root it with the one-click root program. Also, if you have oclf enabled, it would be best to disable it.
oh and how long does the bar freeze for? if its less than a minute, give it some time. It usually takes about 5 min. to flash a new rom for me, it may be longer for you.

hopefully that helps
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.

HELP PLEASE SAD PART I WORK FOR VZW AND I KNOW HOW THEY DO WITH EQUIP CHARGEBACKS
First, locate your caps lock and TURN IT OFF. Next locate your period key and put them on the end of your sentences. Making sense of your post is giving me a headache.
Now, on your computer you need to disable the "hide file extensions for known file types" option to fix the zip.zip problem. Can't give you exact directions since you didn't say which os you're using.

I have the same problem and I tried to get in through the clorkworkMod adb shell, but the device is not recognized by adb...? When the device boots up it is recognized. with my DINC I could use the shell while in clorkworkmod.
Is it showing as device offline or not showing the device at all. If its offline, through cmd, close adb server, then start it back up, half the time that fixed that problem for me. If its not showing at all, try setting it to HTC Sync i believe was the one i had to do at one point for it to register. I've rooted 4 times using ADB method and each time its been a little different, so i can't narrow down what i'm doing wrong to help you more with the adb, sorry.
Similar Issue
Hi All and thanks to all the cats on here that willfully give their knowledge! I have a Tbolt - Rooted with Revolutionary, stock rom (removed VZ Bloat via Titanium ), but this latest OTA update is not leaving me alone. I try to reject it and magically a few days later I get out of nowhere reboot and then the android exclamation point with a triangle. I use the Clockwork Mod Recovery to wipe data cache and reboot which makes the update manager get upset saying it failed. The error I see in Clockwork is this:
CWM Recovery V5.0.2.1
E: Failed to verify whole file signature
E: Signature Verification Failed
Install Aborted
So how can I get this update (I am assuming it is to fix the HTC fail for new exploit out there) which I think would be a good thing. I am not ready to flash a custom ROM yet so please don't reply saying "Just flash with my favorite ROM"
Thanks ahead of time!
It pushes the update, and if you don't reject within 3 mins, viola, you have a nice new update. If you can still get into recovery, which it sounds you can, install a stock rooted either full or debloated. Thats the updated equivalent to what you have now. Make sure you grab the rooted though. Here is the full rooted (not debloated) http://www.multiupload.com/H06XI7W380

I'd probably wipe cache and dalvik cache, but you can probably leave data since you're staying stock.
Thanks for the direction nbdysreal!
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.
