Screwed pooch. Need help. - HTC Rezound

I'm stuck on the backup screen. (8 or 10 lines deep where it says 'Backing up System'.)
I just noticed there is a CWM for the Rez available on Rom Manager. (My phone has been unlocked & de-bloated for several months but I never had a backup because I lacked the CWM.)
I did it & then hit backup. It flashed off & came up in the expected black screen with the code text. But the text never moved. It's locked up.
Need some advice badly.
Thanks.

I've never used CWM with this phone, but backups usually take a bit of time. If it doesn't work, I'd suggest ditching CWM (which is known to have many bugs with the Rezound), and download AmonRa. It's, in my opinion, the best recovery for the Rezound, and the only one I know of that doesn't have issues.

It's been stuck here for an hour. Can I pull the battery & not explode?
I did the amon ra back when I unlocked. Rom Manager still wouldn't ever make a backup.

Yeah, if you were just backing it up, I see nothing wrong with pulling the battery.

cwm, is not working properly on the rezound. Pull battery , and flash Amon Ra in fastboot to recovery.

yea pulling battery will not break anything but the backup being performed ... flash amonra and backup again... please dont use CWM for now since it will cause problems

Thanks guys.
I pulled the batt & restarted, no prob.
I looked for the thread to try flashing the amon again. Can't seem to find it. There was one that seemed idiot-proof.
I do appreciate the help.

I agree with the others, download amon ra and rename recovery.img, drop in fastboot folder on your computer you used when you unlocked (c:\Android or c:\Android-sdk\Platform tools probably) right click on the folder containing fastboot.exe while holding shift, and choose "open command window here."
With your phone in fastboot USB mode connected to the computer use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG"

2 recoveries; which is better?

I used the revolutionary methods to gain root and choose to download and install the recovery. Turns out its a CWM recovery by AlphaRev. It looks like every other CWM but blue in color. Then I notice that there is a recovery by TeamWin. Well which one should I use? I can't find the .img for the AlphaRev recovery, only the TeamWin one.
Which one has a better backup/restore and which one has a better compression (smallest size)?
In case anyone is looking for the CWM for AlphaRevx v4.0.1.4 that comes with the Revolutionary that some haven't been able to flash, here it is---Choose the SHOOTER:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14693680&postcount=1
I haven't tried this because my flash was successful, but this is the version that is currently running on my rooted 3D.
I never used CWM on my OG EVO, I always used Amon RA. Use teamwin recovery, it is nice.
There is a zip file attached to the first post in their thread that can be flashed in hboot, it the pg86100.zip. Just put it on root sd card and boot to hboot. Once there it will load the image and it will ask to flash image and press volume up, reboot when done and your good to go.

Yeah, that's for the TeamWin recovery. Some people may want to stay with CWM because it has always worked for them. Just trying to show people that it still available in the link I supplied
Which recovery has less problems? I just read in the TWRP post that there is a battery % issue that shows it at 10%.

It think the battery issue is purely comestic. They added this to their recovery since CWM didn't have this. The bug is that it always says 10% or 99%. Not a problem if YOU make sure you have enough juice on your phone before doing any recovery stuff.
We won't know which has more problems until people have had a chance to evaluate TWRP for days/weeks. The CWM recovery has been out for a while now, but people are making changes to it to suit their needs.
o so its only within the recovery that battery is messed up, not while the phone is on and running android?

Correct. While your up and running your fine. That will only be displayed during recovery. As soon as they get the kernel fix they will update it.

Not sure about that....I read that too, but mine was accurate. It showed 96%. So, it may be a battery stat issue, bad battery, etc. I have no issues with that aspect.
I'd love to have Amon Ra recovery on the EVO 3D, had it on my OG EVO and it worked flawlessly. I never used Clockworkmod on the OG EVO, I'm wondering if I should switch to twrp or not...
I've used clockworkmod on my nexus s and this and never had a problem. Several friends use this recovery on other phones and it seems to work great. I don't understand why everyone is going against it
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Well in earlier clockworkmod versions of the EVO 4G it had problems like not wiping correctly and such and people just didn't use it and avoided any problems.
When I first rooted my EVO I started out with Amon Ra and never used clockworkmod, so I never experienced any issues at all.
So I was just wondering if there was anything to gain by switching to TWRP from Clockworkmod.

I agree, I never used it either. I've never had issues with either Amon or CWM but I saw issues others were having and I primarily used Fresh roms and flipz recommended using Amon_ra so that's what I did. I installed CWM while rooting, it seems fine. I installed twrp just to play around with it, it seems fine as well. I'll probably stick with twrp until, if and when, there is an amon_ra for the EVO 3D but I'm sure that either would work fine.
CWM F'd up on my Nands. Then i was stuck with a ROM-less phone. Screw CWM. Oh yeah, TeamWin FTW!
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
I always used darch's modified version of ra on my hero but am liking cwm---might flash twrp to compare though

[Recovery]ClockworkMod Recovery Now Official

CRW is now official on the Rezound. Both touch and non touch are available.
Regular: http://goo.gl/CF7LE and Touch: http://goo.gl/p0qY8
Enjoy!
You can do it through the new ROM Manager, but getting Touch that way isn't free.

Sweet. I actually have the choice between two recoveries.

Thx DSB9938.
Can some one tell me how to get this on my phone? Do you use adb and push the recovery.img to the phone in the fastboot menu? if so what is the command?
Thanks

Yes it is the same method via fastboot.

As other stated you can manually enter the commands
Thanks for this dsb9938. I flashed this and it works but when I am using the backup feature it hangs and I have tried it 3-4 times and it hangs at different files during the backup of the system. Just reporting it to see if anyone else is having this issue.
Thanks
I had problems with the backup also. It completed the backup, but couldn't backup my cache. went back to Amon Ra for now.
Same here I went back to Amon Ra as well and was able to backup everything with no issues. Looks like CWM will be coming out with a newer version for the Rezound I would hope.

I wasn't expecting too much from this version of CWM, and I'm sure it will get straightened out soon. Just happy to see options being rolled out so quickly.
Wasn't expecting too much? Kinda rude.
I have done several backups and restores, on several devices.
Sometimes it stops for a minute, I don't know why, but it always finishes.
If you have problems with it, there's still the other one. And I hear twerp will be out soon.
I'm sure koush will do an official build soon, I just like cwr and didn't wanna wait.
D
Just wanted to say, works fine; and I love you for this. Way to be impatient too!
Downloaded and installed. Ran my first backup. Will try flashing a ROM from zip shortly.
Worked like a charm, as always. The print on the phone is WAY too small for my old eyes, but other than that: perfect.
Will i be able to restore a nand backup i made from amon thru cwm? Or do i need to re backup in cwn

I didn't mean any offense. I apologize. Tried CWM again and it backed up flawlessly. Not sure what the issue was the first go around. Anyway, thank you for the release!
Mine hung during a backup as well. Going to try it again to see if the backup completes.
I've been using CWM since I began rooting so I'm glad to have this option. Thanks!
EDIT: Just ran a backup right now and worked perfectly! It was the 3rd attempt but all is good.
Any advantages of CWM vs ArA?

[Q] I think I may have bricked my amaze

Log of what happened:
Have Fourth Bar ROM 3.0. With S-,ON un-locked bootloader.
Re-Lock bootloader with all in one tool
Flash ICS leak.
Works, become happy.
Attempt to root it.
Unlock bootloader. Flash CWM recover v5.0.2.6
Grab SU file, put it in old SD card. Put it in old ROOT folder. Flash SU. See that CRT animation and battery percentage zip are in folder from Fourth Bar's previous version. Impulsively flash them.
Phone stuck on infinite bootloop. Immediately regret decision.
Flash previous recoveries. Nothing. Go into XDA search, find "[GUIDE] Recovering from a Soft Brick (Stuck on HTC Screen)"]
Both links are dead. Find this stock ROM, wipe, data/factory reset, wiped cache partition, flash, still suck at bootloop.
Give it to me straight guys, is it.. is it bricked?

A bricked phone is one that doesn't turn on. If you are able to get to recovery you are fine.
My advise, reflash the ICS rom. When you flashed the battery percentage tweak you changed your framework-res.apk file, which is unique to the rom it is made for. You flashed an older framework-res.apk file on a newer and completely different ICS rom, causing it not to boot.
Just reflash ICS. Also, the stock rom you linked is Gingerbread, which will also bootloop on the newer radio, or so I have seen/heard.
This seems like it would solve the problem.
But the battery is dead on power and it won't let me re-charge with the amaze off.
You're going to have to find an external charger or someone else with the same phone to get it charging.
Thought as much :/
Placed an order for anker. Might as well right?
Will post back if it backfires.
Just curious, y did u flash cwm 5.0.2.6 rather that ext4 or touch cwm? Lol then u would be able to charge your phone. Try leaving the phone on the charger over night, it may be charging it in short pulses bcuz of bad recovery so getting any kind of charge will talke alot of time. Once u get charged, relock bootloader and reflash ruu

I can probably answer that. He must've used my toolkit. Xboarder56 requested that I remove his recoveries. I put the official CWM 5.0.2.6 in place of it. He must have not known about that.

ok, the battery arrived today. Charged it up and tried re flashing the ICS RUU and it's still as before. The white HTC will appear, then switch to a black background where nothing happens.
Any advice on what to do?

CWM Help

Ok, so apprently I am running cwm, I thought I was running amon ra to be honest but here is my problem:
Ok, I had cleanrom on my phone, lost 4g so started messing around. When I go into CWM Recover v5.8.1.4 and try to reinstall a rom or anything I just get the little CWM icon, It will not go into any option I choose. I have to pull the battery to restart. But the screen will not turn on when I push the power. Only think I can do is boot into bootloader. VZW rep said they can replace it, but was afraid I would get charged from HTC since its prob my fault. Any suggestions?
Hmm. Boot into bootloader, plug in via usb. Flash Ruu or new recovery (probably RUU)
I think that should work.

alright I have discovered what I've done wrong....the phone still isnt working but heres how it happened.
I did flash amon ra, and clean rom. Once I got it all setup, I downloaded ROM Manager, this has killed the phone. Like I said everything I try to flash a new rom from zip on sd, the little rom manager dude blocks me. Any suggestions on how to get rid of him so I can reflash. When I plug the phone into my computer to adb device it is not found. I have download HTC Sync.
you need to be in fastboot for it to be found
Ah the old charging problems. That's right. This guide should work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722989&highlight=clockwork+boot
Your phone isn't bricked, relax. For some reason none of us quite know, when any rezound with clockworkmod on it reaches fully low low battery and turns off it no longer charges correctly.

I hit perform restore and this is what happens
oops....something went wrong. Please check the recovery log!

when you go into restore in nandriod back up you get you device id before choosing which back up. each phones different. you need to use your computer and change the device id of your old nandroid backup to the same as whatever it is for your new phone then. not the backup file name, but the first one you have to choose in recovery i believe its like "HT19Xs2694" or whatever rename that to what your new phones is
Could you explain how I go about changing the ID with the computer?

K. On your new phone create a random nandroid. By creating it you will be able to get you device I'd for that phone.I'd use a spare sd of you have one so you don't get em mixed up of not just take note and don't het em mixed up. once done pull the sd out and plug it into your computer. Open your sd card locate that nandroid folder open it (you should have to click on the device I'd then pick which bavkup) just highlight right click copy text. Then Open the nandroid folder that you want to use and go to that device I'd highlight right click paste the new name over the old.. and all should be good the device I'd should match up and begin restore pm me if you have anymore problems I'll give you my gtalk and help further.

not that your wrong at all but when you say theres "no need to mess with the device id".. i say theres no need to switch recoveries if unnecessary i dont like the idea of a 'touch' recovery. this method is simple and takes all of two min if done properly
