As anyone tried to backup a stock ROM or custom ROM?
I having problems backing up Customs ROMs on Sky Hawk Recovery Mode it fails, selected "Super" it backups but at the end fails, tried other selections it even worse fails completely.
Can't use the other recoveries like "PBRP" and "OrangeFox" all I get is a black screen, check with ADB command tells me I am recovery mode but all I see a black screen.

Hi,
Due to HTC's special touches, the recovery image doesnt stay flashed, and on normal boot its flashed over (meaning if i try to go to recovery after a normal boot, i get the red triangle stuff, and have to pull the battery). I was wondering if this would potentially cause troubles if i was trying to flash a custom ROM from recovery? in other notes, i do find sometimes i have to pull the battery 4 or 5 times to get it to normally boot (thats without holding the buttons >.>).
Thanks in advance.
HTC HERO recovery image flashing problems
I am having exactly the same problem!
I did a quite a bit of research on how to root, backup and flash my HERO and every guide I found describes the process using Universal AndRoot + Rom Manager and it seems there should be no problems. I already rooted my phone successfully, installed Rom Manager and flashed either ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 or RA Recovery 1.7.0.1 which are able to boot but only once. The next time I reboot I get the red triangle warning and it loads into stock recovery (by pressing vol_up + powroff buttons), so the custom recovery lasts only one boot cycle. I was able to backup but I don't want to risk to wipe and flash since there is a chance it might stuck in the bootscreen loop afterwards and I won't be able to do anything.
There is a thing with s-off and SPrecovery which helps to resolve the problem but it doesn't look like there is anything for HERO.
Any help would be appreciated.
ps I tried to manually flash recovery from inside the phone and from windows command line with the same result.
forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/8182-how-to-root-your-hero
posted some similar comments over there, and the only init script that i can find when in recovery.
Yeah I posted my question there too.
I was able to find some information about the issue (he is talking about Villain ROM but I think it doesn't really matter):
pulser_g2:
Repeat the process again, as I think stock ROMs try and overwrite the recovery each time they boot. When you finish the process, immediately nandroid and flash VR12. That will then flash a new recovery, AmonRA 1.6.2a, and you will be sorted

So it looks like we should just go ahead and flash a custom rom which, in theory, will eliminate the problem.
yeah was tempted to just flash, but sending duck my system img for him to dissect anyway.
yeah worked fine, running cm6.1 now
Yeah once you root you have to flash a custom rom before reboot or u loose the root
I learnt it after lots of reboots and re roots.
but now I wanted to know if I could save the original rom which i have as nand backup to make as an update.zip like custom rom for safe keepimg
I flashed CM6.1 -based TastyFroyo 1.2 and I can confirm custom recovery stays flashed now.
Ok, so the (non-existent) recovery menu on the G-Slate is absolutely unacceptable. I mean really, really? This is what I get when booting into recovery mode:
Entering LG MDP Mode
DO NOT POWER DOWN
downloading NOW......
No options to reboot, Factory Reset, or to do anything and it is assuming you have the file in the right location and know just what the hell it is downloading. This sucks.
So I wanted to get Clockwork on there and found a clockwork recovery I can boot into temporarily using fastboot. The problem is I can't flash it to the g-slate and overwrite the existing recovery.
I can flash it using fastboot but when I put the G-Slate into recovery mode it loads the original recovery as if it didn't actually flash.
So I tried to replace the recovery.img in the nandroid backup and then restore from that backup, but as I suspected I get an md5 sum error. So I figured out how to trick the nandroid into thinking it is still valid after replacing the recovery.img. I restored the modified nandroid but still the g-slate recovery 'menu' is the same.
That's about the extent of my skills. They must have the recovery image locked down tight on this thing. I know there are people out there working on getting the recovery partition hacked. Hopefully we'll have something soon.
So I guess my question now is, does anyone know of a CWM recovery that will flash to the G-Slate, or a method to flash an existing recovery that will work, or is it still a waiting game?
Thanks
Hey guys -
I'm having trouble getting CWM Recovery to work with my YP-G70. I've rooted, installed ROM Manager, wiped data and partitions, installed Odin, Used Odin to (supposedly) flash the DD_01142012.tar recovery to the device. Everything looks successful, but when booting back up ROM manager only gives me the option to go to "recovery setup" instead of the normal flash option. Even when I reboot it in recovery, it just goes to the standard android recovery screen. Any ideas on how to fix this? It may be painfully obvious, this is my first root.

Rom Manager does not work for this device ( I think ) and you should not use it. "DD_01142012.tar" is not just a recovery, it's the kernel too. They are integrated. Flash it again and hold power and vol-up during boot up to get to recovery then flash your rom...
Hello all,
I want to give my friend my Galaxy Note. Due to this, I attempted to do a factory reset from the settings menu, but it would reboot to TWRP instead and get locked in a boot screen. I tried flashing a third-party ROM (CM), but stupidly forgot to wipe the device since I thought I had done it before, resulting in it hanging at the boot animation. Could someone point me to the right direction on how to restore the device to Stock using a tool like Odin? Thanks.
P.S. Does anyone know how to get into TWRP? I can't seem to find a key combination, I have to do it from the TWRP application (yet I can't access the application).
UPDATE: I have managed to get into TWRP, however restoring fails, as it goes back to the TWRP logo. Wipe also does not work.
Solved, what I did was flash a recovery via Odin, which resulted in an error. Kies detected it since it had an error, so it was able to be restored.
I think that my recovery got deleted because my phone was at 100% storage at one point. Apps started crashing also.
I don't see the greed led light to let you know u can enter recovery at boot up.
Is it possible to restore the recovery? I also can't go into the stock recovery or download mode or anything like that.
Running mm 6.0.1
Re-install TWRP as usual via fastboot if you really want to.
