I really need help. I unlocked my bootloader through htcdev.com and I flashed clockworkmod then I installed a rooted stock rom. then I installed rom manager and it made me flash clockwork mod again to use it so I did that. Now every time I try to boot into recovery I get the htc white splash screen for about 20 seconds then the phone reboots and I get no recovery. Anyone that has any idea on how to help please do so I am really lost here.
Go into the phone settings under power and uncheck fastboot....that should help

I already had it unchecked, but I just checked it to see if anything would change and still nothing.

I would forget about using rom manager for now, just flash stuff manually in recovery. You're going to need to reflash your clockwork recovery, the one that was meant to be flashed with the htcdev.com unlock method. Also, I believe I saw someone post a TWRP that had been modified to work with the htcdev.com unlock method as well, so you could also search for that. Just download a PG86IMG.zip of the recovery you'll use, place it on your sd card, and then boot to the bootloader to flash the recovery. After that, you should be able to get back into recovery and restore a nandroid or flash a rom and start fresh.

Thank you for the help, I would hate to be a pain about it, but can you possibly point me to a walkthrough or tell me how to do that. Thus far I have only used walkthroughs on all of this stuff I am kinda shooting in the dark here.
I have a HTC Evo 3D and i have rooted my phone using HTC's method and yes i am a noob to android. I have Android 2.3.4 (installed the update before i rooted). I have Rom manager on my phone and have already flashed clockwork mod recovery and downloaded viper rom 1.3. Now when i try to install it from the SD card all my phone does is give me 3 Pre installation choices:
1.Backup Existing Rom
2.Wipe Data and Cache
3.Wipe Dalvik Cache
and the 3rd option is aleady checked and i click ok and another screen pops up it says Press ok to reboot into Clockwork recovery mode and continue installation.
And all my phone does is restart and nothing happens can someone please tell me if im doing something wrong or am i missing something?
What recovery are you using?
A backup is always recommended.
Wipe Data means you clean up your personl settings and stuff.
Also Recommended when flashing a custom rom.
Just go ahead

Suggestion: Don't use ROM Manager to try and flash a ROM. Boot straight into recovery mode (Volume Down and Power button) and do it from there. You will have more control over the process.

I can't believe nobody has been in here to tell you this yet:
If you used HTC's method, unfortunately you are sol as far as flashing any kind of ROM that tries to reload even a stock kernel as part of the process.
Their method was/is a total sham, as far as most custom rom users are concerned.
Sorry, but you're gonna just have to wait for a brand new exploit.

I tried getting back into clockwork recovery after i rooted but i couldnt get back in.
No way to downgrade. Htc new stuff prohibits it. From all accounts, you have to wait for a new exploit.

From what I've read in radom XDA posts, the HTC unlock method provides write access to only the recovery and system partitions of the device but deso not provide write access to the boot partition (where only the kernel is stored). Unfortunately, modifying only the system partition w/o access to the kernel/boot partition can be very limiting.
You should be able to boot into the bootloader by using the volume down + power, mentioned above. Once on the white bootloader screen, you should be able to select Recovery. This should load the clockworkmod recovery as you indicated in a previous post you loaded.
If it doesn't load the clockworkmod recovery but instead loads the stock recovery, the custom recovery wasn't flashed (loaded) properly. Will probably need to flash it again. ROM manager *should* properly flash the cwm custom recovery even on an HTC unlocked device, but this HTC method is very new and we're finding out more and more about its limitations.
Welcome to the Android world! Hope that helps!
At first,I get S-Off via Revolutionary tool!Then I flashed "cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img" via fastboot and "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" from sdcard.
But after downloading and install ROM Manager from Market it wont let me install
the new recovery img!
Phone freezes or get off and only boot to the HTC splash image.
I also tried to flash "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip",but same problem.
Only solution to get phone working again,I did restore the backup of my
stock ROM!
Anybody have same problems with ROM Manager?

I'm on a CDMA EVO 3D and I ran the revolutionary s-off process.
I would think the process would be the same between the CDMA and GSM versions, but I could be wrong.
I've seen on his twitter feed he has been making updates to the recovery. I had no issues opening the app, pressing download latest recovery and then pressing reboot into recovery. Worked flawlessly for me.
Does ROM Manager download the new recovery properly? Does it say it flashed the new recovery successfully? Does it reboot into the new recovery?
Which part of the process is not working for you?
The more detail you can provide the easier it'll be to help troubleshoot!

I tried the first option "Install ClockworkMod Recovery" and choosed the EVO 3D
from list,but nothing happens.Also tried the last option from ROM Manager to
install the 5.0.1.0 recovery,but nothing happens too!
I got the "Rome Manager granted su rights" window but after this,phone

I am guessing that you have a GSM phone since you have a Deutschland flag? I don't think that the CMW recovery in Rom Manager works on GSM, only CDMA. There is a recovery in the GSM section that is based on the CMW recovery. If I am wrong, let me know.

Boot into recovery menu works with ROM Manager,but can`t download
and install the newest cwm recovery!
The statusbar of downloading and installing the recovery shows always 0%
for 10 or 15 minutes and then phone freezes.
Maybe the mobile network is the problem,because ROM Manager says we should
use Wi-Fi connection!
Is there a way we can download the image of Clockwork separate from using ROM manager?

List of all recovery images
recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-shooter.img
@ganii
i had the same problem when flashing cwm to my evo 3d gsm. phone froze and had to do a stock restore.
you mentioned that it requires wifi to download correctly? did you by any chance try that?
Can`t test Wi-Fi connection,at the moment no internet at home
But I flashed official recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-shooter.img and
recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-shooter.img to my phone via fastboot
and no ones works.
So I think clockwork recoverys only available for cdma EVO 3D at the
moment.
Only recovery which works for EVO 3D gsm,I think,is
cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img,which made by Revolutionary.

In android commander select phone at top, flash, recovery and choose the clockwork recovery image, simplest way. i've had to do this with multiple phones that would not flash clockwork through rom manager, even on og evos oddly enough. hope i helped!

Afterbyou click flash click recovery and select wherever you saved the recovery image too.
Anyone having success in installing Clockwork manually through the Terminal Emulator? I installed the flash_image file, placed the image in the root of the sdcard, ,su'ed, entered flash_image recovery /sdcard/clockwork.img, but for the life of me it won't recognize the file giving the stupid no such file error. Grrrrrrrr....
What's bugging me is that this is how I did it for 2.3.3 while I was rooting it. Makes me want to throw something.
Not tested yet ,but why you don`t flash it as "PG86IMG.zip" from sdcard
via booting into bootloader?
Example attached:
Appreciate the link Ganii, but I enjoy doing it manually. However, I did find a substitute method that will install it without leaving the native android GUI. It's joeykrim's flash image gui app. It's pretty good and works great.Makes me a little bit lazy, but it'll have to do until I find a blog.so file.
Help me please some one. I am having a similar problem with my EVO 3D CDMA. I rooted via HTC method, install CWM, ROM Manager and every thing was fine. ROM Manager got a updated to flash latest CWM to 5.0.2.0. Didn't notice anything at first, but when I try to boot into CWM my phone just reboots itself instead of recovery. So I'm guessing I don't have any type of recovery. Someone please help me fix this!!!! Also one more ?, I am kinda new to all this I had a blackberry before getting the EVO 4G then move on to to the 3D anyway if I run the RUU will that erase my SD card?

Go back into rom manager scroll to the bottom and flash alternate recovery amon-ra's, its much better than clockwork on the 4g, or use the instructions I posted above and do it through android commander. Also make sure fastboot is off under settings power...
I need some help.
I recently purchased a ATT GS2 I have it rooted and recently flashed Unnamed v1.0.1. My issue is every time i want to flash a new rom its pain in my butt. Like now, I am thinking of putting CM7 on and playing a round a while with that but I know I will not be able to just download the rom and put on sd card, boot into recovery, do a data wipe, then flash rom. It always gives me an message that the install has aborted. Unverified signature or some crap like that. So what I have to do to flash a rom is the following. Run odin and flash back to stock with root. Then run odin again and flash the clock work mod recovery kernal SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_X.X.X.X.tar. Finally at that point i am able to flash a new rom from my recovery menu. I love the galaxy series and I do remember on the original having to revert to stock using Odin one click before flashing a new rom. Is it going to be the same with the SGS2? I had an att inspire 4g for a while and it was super easy. Download rom, boot recovery, wipe data, flash rom, DONE>
If anyone can help me out with a suggestion of what I may be doing wrong I would appreciate it so much. If you need more details please let me know.

If you follow these instructions to a "TEE" you will be able to flash CM7
without erroring out.
#1: delete the unnamed 1.01 and cyanogenmod zipfiles from your sdcard
(if they exist)
#2: download a fresh copy of CyanogenMod zipfile
#3: download a fresh copy of unnamed v1.01 zipfile
#4: copy both the newly downloaded zipfiles to your internal sdcard
#5: flash the unnamed v1.01 rom using cwm (not rom manager)
#6: after flashing before reboot select "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM
#7: reboot the phone into a useable state
#8: press power button and select "reboot recovery"
#9: flash the cyanogenmod zipfile (it will not fully boot yet)
#10: wait about 30 seconds after you see black screen with Samsung text
#11: remove and replace battery and reboot into CWM recovery
#12: select "wipe data/factory reset"
#13: flash the cyanogenmod rom once again
#14: select reboot in CWM
#15: in less than 2 minutes the phone will be ready to use!!!!
NOTE: if the above method fails you will need to start from scratch
"ultimate unbrick"
Good luck and I will be waiting for you to click the big THANKS button
I had a few problems with that, I had to download the CM file several times before I got a good copy. you should probably try running an MD5 on the zip file.
Excuse me for being a newbie but I am having a hard time understanding the difference between Rom manager and clock work mod recovery. I always thought they were the same. Can u give me a quick run down of the difference. When you say flash using CWM recovery do you mean from off position boot into revcovery mode and then flash? Not selecting flash rom from Rom Manager, right?
Here is where I am confused. At any given time I should be able to download a new ROM zip file. Place it on my internal sd card. Reboot into rocovery mode, wipe data, flash using CWM Recovery and be done. I have never been able to do it like that with my SGS2 unlike I was able to on my HTC inspire 4g. Whats the difference?

Forget about Rom Manager please.. Rom Manager and CWM are
two entirely different things.
Just follow the instructions to a "TEE" and note that I have not mentioned
anything about rom manager in my previous post with all the step by step
instructions........ For now, forget that rom manager even exists.

ROM Manager seems to insist on using its own CWM implementation, which has been broken on every device I've ever owned. For example, everyone who used ROM Manager on this device had signature verification problems, and anyone who used ROM Manager's CWM on the Infuse wound up softbricking their device if Voodo Lagfix was enabled, forcing them to Odin/Heimdall back to stock.
In-kernel CWM is the most tested and most reliable way to use CWM.
Three finger salute is the only way to be sure when you're trying to enter CWM.
So would u suggest uninstalling rom manager all together?

So I was walking my girlfriend through rooting her new Evo3D, and we couldn't get the phone to get past the 'MI' logo, so I figured it was a kernel thing. After four kernels and two versions of MIUI I realized that it wasn't the issue, it was the hboot.
She didn't back up, she has only had it since last night. I now know what I need to do to flash the ROM, but how can I get her back to stock so I can get the app needed?
Any help?
She has HBOOT 1.5, right?
Go back to the folder where you did all the rooting. Get the stock MIUI kernel (boot.img from the flashable zip) and place it in that folder. Open up a cmd and navigate to that folder.
Boot her phone into fastboot mode. (Vol down + power while the phone is off. Hit power button to select fastboot once it goes into bootloader) Plug the phone into the computer via USB
Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in the kernel. If it successfully flashes, you are done! MIUI should boot up now that it has the appropriate kernel. You will need to do this for any ROM you flash.
As long as you have a recovery, just flash whatever rom you want through fastboot and the kernel will stick.
Or just download a stock rooted rom and flash that the same way you just tried to flash MIUI. It will work since you still have the original kernel.

Well, ROM's cant be flashed through fastboot. The ROM is flashed through recovery. Then you go to fastboot and flash the kernel with my guide above. After that, everything should be working fine.

Hopefully this works! Shes at church right now but I will have her do this ASAP and I'll report back!
(Awesome response time BTW)
Roms are flashed through fastboot just by loading your recovery into fastboot.
I never flash roms and kernels separately. Just go into fastboot, load your recovery, and flash as you normally would.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had something similar when flashing MIUI. if you boot the recovery.img from fastboot it should work. you may want to re download just in case of a bad download.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I'm having the same problem as epicchase. have attempted to flash miui many times. at first i tried to do it through my recovery. it didn't work. then i tried to use the fast boot method and flash it from the recovery that i opened from fast boot. i'm quite frustrated. it just wont boot miui, is it the kernel, i'm new to rooting in general but i think i know what i'm doing. i have spent who knows how many hours trying everything i can. i tried flashing the boot.img and the ROM separately. I have successively flashed android revolution hd, but that's no fun, its nearly the same as the stock ROM any suggestions would be appreciated. it boots but i guess it must be a boot loop but idk all i know is it freezes in the middle of the boot animation.
ps. i am rooted using the htc official method (unfortunately) and am s-on)

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed? Find Virus's Superwipe tool (.zip), boot to recovery with fastboot, flash the superwipe.zip, then flash MIUI.

well it didn't work it did the same exact thing. I've been giving it about 10 mins to attempt to boot is that long enough? I'm new to non sense roms I've only ever used sense, is there something I'm forgetting to do that is different for non sense roms. *frustration* (and i thought i was beginning to understand this)

okay well i tried to flash cyanogenmod 7 still no dice. I must be an idiot, sorry for being a noob.
this is what im doing.
im placing the .zip on root of my sd card. then opening my cmd.
i then type " cd c:\android" (i saved the recovery image in a folder named android) it says
"c:\android" just as it should i then type "fastboot boot recovery.img"
it restarts my phone in recovery
i press install .zip from sd card then click wipe cache and dalvik cache it goes and does its work
i then select the superwipe.zip it says flash compete however it says error or something but i just kind of ignored it.
i then select my miui.zip that i got from www.miui.us
i then select install .zip files the first thing that comes up is "md5 check fail- ignoring" and the continues and flashes (i have no clue what that part means but i continue anyway)
i select reboot and it starts to boot my phone i get the white screen with green htc.
i then get the miui boot animation for anywhere from 2-5 seconds and then it freezes.
i sit and nearly just stare at it and the clock. i wait at least 5 mins but have waited up to 30 mins.
the boot animation never restarts i just freezes there making me think it is not a boot loop (however the definition of an actual bootloop is slightly vague to me.)
anyway thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions i will be very happy for now im just gonna run my android revolution hd rom.
If superwipe isn't working, fastboot to recovery, go to the wipe menu, not install a zip, wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset. Don't do the factory reset in android, do it in recovery. I'm guessing you got a corrupt download of superwipe, I would redownload it and try it again if I were you.
Try using this one.
