Reboot bootloader, select recovery, restore a nandroid, or flash a rom. It wipes the kernel when you change hboot

i dont have a recent nandroid but i do have a kernel on my sdcard could i just flash it?

Just do an advanced restore of the boot partition.

How long are you waiting for the md5 check, it can take a bit sometimes
Flash a boot.img from a restore and it should work

word of advice, always make a nandroid backup before you do anything. When you change hboot you will have to flash a rom or a nandroid restore to get past hboot

ClockWorkMod 3.0 is out?

Anyone mess around with the 3.0.0 version of ClockworkMod recovery?

I have but I haven't noticed anything different
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

it backs up wimax rsa keys and such, great update, now I won't rely on RA

Will there be any compatibility issues trying to flash nandroid backups made with 2.5.1.2?

3.0 is not working for me I can't flash in recovery?

It's only allowing me to recover gingerbread. I can't flash new roms either.

I just installed 3.0.0.2 and I havent tried any new ROM's or GB ROM's yet.
Post up some reviews of anyone thats tried

I wanna know if I can restore old backups for the earlier version of clockwork... I updated but haven't done anything yet.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Any one have the previous version???

"gingerbread recovery" doesn't make any sense.
Recoverys aren't specific to whichever ROM you have installed.

Yeah come on. I have it and have flashed fresh and miui with it just fine. I even did a recover nandroid just to check if it was compatible with old nandroids and it worked fine.
P.S. I'm using 3.0.0.0

3.0.0.0 is the newest version.
Not to be confused with the new version of Rom Manager which is... 3.0.0.2

It does if Gingerbread uses ext4 and previous Android versions do not. Especially if ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0 doesn't support the earlier file systems.

Two "ifs" in that sentence.
Just cause it may allow for the use of ext4 doesn't mean it's not backward compatible.

Being as it was released via Rom Manager for all, I would doubt that they would release something like that which isn't.

Wanting to switch ROM

I want to switch to CM 7, can I download the ROM from ROM Manager and install through that? Already rooted the droid, currently running Sky Raider 3.5. What do I do for a sucessful and proper way to use CM7?
Thanks for all the help!

You can use rom manager, just make sure you select both check boxes saying: "Wipe data & cache" and "backup current rom". When you press ok, it will reboot your device and take you to recovery. The process is automated from there, and will automatically reboot your device when the process is compete (it may take a few minutes). The device should then boot normally into CM7, and you'll be good to go.
I suggest that you get to know your recovery, it will save you one day. There are millions of tutorials and guides out there to choose from, this is a good start. And, you can always reboot to recovery by powering down the phone, then holding the volume downwhile powering the phone on, then select recovery using volume buttons and power.

I know how to access the recovery, had to because I was stuck on the booting loop.
What about the radio and the other things that I need to update?

What is your radio and hboot? Your radio should be 2.15.00.07.28 and up.
And hboot should be .92
Hboot can be found here: http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=77

Can't boot into clockworkmod recovery

Hey guys, my phone runs MIUI and Tiamat. Every time I would hold down the power button to select recovery, it would go into hboot. And if I tried going into recovery from hboot it would just go back into hboot.
I downloaded clockworkmod rom manager and tried getting into recovery from there and still no go.
What am I doing wrong?

You have fastboot enabled it sounds like

Yup,what evil said above me,go to settings/applications/developement at the bottom you will see fastboot,uncheck it.

Add in, uninstall ROM Manager, and flash Amon Ra for your recovery

Have you tried reflashing your recovery?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app

The way they suggested to disable fastboot is for a stock system. I don't know if you can disable it that way with MIUI. I know you can't do it that way with CM7, which is similar to MIUI.
Do a battery pull, boot into bootloader, then try to go into your recovery from there.
Oh, and get rid of CWM. Flash AmonRa to your phone instead.

I encountered this today. Reflash recovery and then use rom manager to reboot into recovery.

I went into clockworkmod and reflashed recovery. It's still not doing anything right.

It's not, but that's a good one to add!

If you are still using clockworkMOD recovery, flash an older version (5.0.2.0). I had issues with the latest version not going to recovery.

Hey OP use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339654 it'll solve your problem...

Thank you to everyone who took their time posting.

Sorry for bump, very sorry. I had two threads open - one for the ROM what I was going to post a question for, and this thread because it's similar to my problem. I posted a Loooooong post in here by accident, and am trying to move it to the other thread. sorry for bump

Found another solution
Hey guys,
thank your for all your suggestions and sorry I forgot about this thread as I solved my prob weeks ago.
I just flashed TWRP and had to continue to hold the volume up button after the logo and boot a second time into recovery.
I flashed Cyanogenmod and now everything works just fine.
Thanks again.

Hello this is my first post and I come to request some help.
I have a htc one v and was trying to update to jelly bean through steps from Android Authorty's guide
After completing this set of instructions I booted up my phone and sadly all I got was a htc screen with the red writing which then turned black and nothing happened after that.
Im pretty worried right now, I dont have much knowledge about androids and I have but a clue as to what I have just done.
Is it permanently damaged? How do i fix this or atlest restore it to the factory state.
Please help!

as for the OP: make sure you also flash the KERNEL for the respective rom. it is not enough to install only the ROM. You need also the kernel because we currently have S-ON devices.

To start over, u should have the stock kernel. U have restored the stock nandroid then u must flash stock kernel...or it will not boot...
Did u flash the kernel at time of installing JB??

Hey i just tried to do this and got error while making backup image of /system

OK so i figured out that i am truly a noob.
I was attempting to install the CDMA version when i needed GSM.
Proud of myself for solving this i went to install the gsm version but sadly now i only get the htc screen with red writing.
It dosent change from there.
Have i done permanent damage because i installed the CDMA version!?

now im getting something really weird my phone goes to the htc screen with red writing then shuts off by itself and then turns on again by itself in a endless cycle of this red writing htc screen.

Alright... let's get your phone fixed!
I assume you have:
1. Unlocked bootloader
2. Installed a recovery
3. Installed a custom CDMA ROM
4. Then installed a GSM ROM
5. Now phone keeps rebooting?
Is that correct?
