1. Use option under Other menu to move recovery log to sd. Mount your sdcard to pc and read that file called recovery.log. It should have detailed cause of error.
Navigation:
Vol-up & Vol-dn = move up & down
Power = select
POWER+VOLUP+VOLDN will auto reboot you out of recovery.
Back = backup or use the -Return menu item
Special Thanks:

Developer's note: This can easily be ported to any other Emmc HTC's with minimal effort. For mecha, vision, lexikon etc. only change of kernel and default.prop is needed. Recovery binary and scripts will fully work. For devices like shooter the partitions in roots.c will need to be updated as well as fstab.

Havent tried it yet but flashed it. Would it be possible to make an easier way to go back? Instead of having to select the return or ../ option. Anyways thanks for this.

Good suggestion. I added it. Version 3.0.3 has the capacitive keys working and the option to use the menu item -Return or the capacitive back key to backup a menu.

That shouldn't happen on this device. Check if you have a /etc/install-recovery.sh and if so delete it then reflash the recovery.

only way clockwork should come back is if you flash it in ROM Manager or overwriting it elsewhere.
also to the OP, have you thought about porting the Team Win Recovery?

TeamWin's official recovery currently doesn't support the ext3 filesystem, which we (the Inc2) use. Some of the unofficial ports for other devices do, but the ones that have added ext3 support (like the Tbolt port) seem to be dirty hacks at the moment. I was looking at porting it myself, but TeamWin said that they are adding support for a lot of additional devices, including the Inc2, so I'd be duplicating effort that's already ongoing

Will I be able to restore nands created by CWM recovery with this recovery?
Thanks.

no. Cwm and amon ra nandroids are not interchangeable. I'm not going to try to mess with team-win. I like ra recovery and thats what I use. IMO it is the best recovery option out there for all devices. FYI you can use manual flash override option in rom manager to make it not require flashing clockwork to use most of the features of it.

[01 FEB][RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for HD2 - v1.3

READ ALL OF THE OP BEFORE POSTING QUESTIONS​
The Intro;
As we now have NAND booting for the HD2, its time we also had a way to flash ROMs from the SD aswell so here we have ClockworkMod Recovery compiled for the HD2. It is fully working except ROM Manager is not supported.
Recovery can now boot from NAND instead of the old SD Card boot method, to flash the rom, download the recovery with the partition layout you require, then flash as you would a standard NAND rom using DAF and MAGLDR USB Flasher. then select AD Recovery to load into recovery.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
MAGLDR v1.13 IS REQUIRED, OLDER VERSIONS ARE NOT SUPPORTED, DOWNLOAD v1.13 HERE​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kind note to Devs;
Please stop posting modified flash.cfg files for use with CWM
CWM is designed to make it easier to flash roms without needing a windows PC, if you post a different flash.cfg in each rom thread then it defeats this purpose as a pc will be required for flashing each layout.
Stick to using the default partition layouts or use USB flasher

Q&A;
Q. Ive flashed v1.3 but cant access recovery anymore.
A. Make sure you are using MAGLDR 1.13 and are selecting "AD Recovery" instead of "Boot AD SD"
Q. Ive downloaded v1.3 but there is no copy_to_sd folder
A. Recovery no longer requires any files on the SD card, just flash it like a standard nand rom and select "AD Recovery in magldr menu
Q. Can I change the partition sizes used for CWM
A. You can by editing the flash.cfg but this is not recommended, CWM is designed to make it easier for switching roms, by flashing a custom partition size you may stop other roms working and require reflashing a new partition size when you want to change roms.
Q. I dont know which partition size to download
A. Depending on what type of roms you plan on using, you should choose the partition size based on the following.
150MB Partition - For bare roms including CyanogenMod, AOSP, and MiUI
250MB Partition - For Standard sense roms including Desire and EVo based ROMs, can also be used for some squashed HD builds
400MB Partition - For Larger roms including unsquashed Desire HD and Z roms, ROMs REQUIRE data2sd for EU HD2 with 512MB NAND

Notes for devs;
Please add tags to the title of your threads stating if they are to be flashed with recovery or DAF, [ZIP] for recovery update.zip and [USB] if its installed over usb using daf.
The cache partition is only 10MB so that recovery can still use it, to get cache to work in android, make a directory in data called cachemnt and on boot symlink /cache to /data/cachemnt, this does not apply when using 150M partition size

Because ROMs are not flashed using DAF, a set partition layout is required before flashing any ROMs using recovery, included in the download is DAF which is configured to create the required partitioning, just run as you normally would to flash a NAND ROM and you are set to flash a new ROM through recovery

Is the rom manager support you are talking about the ability to flash different themes and stuff of that nature in recover mode? Also can we expect it in the future?
This is now officially an android phone. Finally get to back up Roms awesome!!!!
Rom manager support is an app that allows you to control the recovery from within Android and then reboot to recovery to run the commands

Rom manager is just the app that that you get from the market to flash without booting to recovery we could wait on that.
what the doctor
this is progress and what ive been looking to add
Just to clarify the instructions... Do we extract the Downloaded zip to the Root of the Sd Card then flash What ROM we will be using? Words in bold are my keys...
Thanks
EDIT: Scratch that.. I guess I should have opened the Zip first.
This is Bad Ass!!
Wow! My dreams have come true
Thanks!
Oh man, this is amazing! Any chance of Amon Ra at some point?
to cool
However I am confused about where I will get roms for this. Do I just use a nand rom and rename it update.zip? If so which files I am happy. Feels like the old G1 days. I am very confused about where to get the roms though.
HELP SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!!!!!
@Raider x
What I was getting at, I always see native android threads talking about flashing themes through recovery. Well we be able to do that with this?

Devs will need to release ROMs in update.zip format, there are none currently released although i am in the process of uploading one, you then copy the zip the dev provides to the root of the SD, and flash like you did on the G1

Question related to flashing Sunaabh Rom

Hi all,
I was using the CM7 nightly 203, with the custom MTD partition 140 40. Just wanted to try Sunaabh ROM. Wil the old MTD partition give problems when i flash this new ROM? This ROM is 122MB in size. plz explain how to go abt in flashing this sense rom
Yes, it will. Sense ROMs need upwards of 200MB system partition. You will have to remove the Custom MTD Partitions before proceeding. (It can be removed by flashing Clockworkmod Recovery again, after wiping everything)
Thanks for the prompt reply I have not done that even once.. For this, i must go to ROM manager, Click on Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery and then press "Flash Recovery." Or if am wrong, could you pls explain me?
Not sure if this will work for you too but it did for me, I first changed the settings in the txt file then flashed a new rom and ran the bravo boot zip again.
I did that going from cm7 to sfm and it worked for me without having to flash cwm.
I think if you just change the txt file to fit your new rom then run it all again as you install, should be fine.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
No, that is the temporary way to do it, and it will not touch your actual Clockworkmod Recovery. I would recommend the Fastboot Method.
I have attempted to explain it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17633085&postcount=93
So, first boot to Clockworkmod Recovery, Go to Mounts and Storage, then select:
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /system
This will remove all data from your phone (Except stuff on the SDCard). Then, reflash Clockworkmod Recovery from the procedure I linked above.
EDIT: Or you can follow what Scratch wrote above. Make your settings the default (ie 250 40 by changing the values on the text), then proceed. Now that I think of it, his method is way more efficient.
Works perfect. But one question. I had values 190 and 40. But titanium back up shows 262mb of which 94 is free for system and 183mb of which 113 alone is free for internal. Have I done anything wrong ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
It seems to have reverted back to the Stock settings somehow... BTW, Ti Backup isn't the most reliable one to check the partitions. Use Terminal Emulator, and type su , followed by busybox df -h to get the exact values of all partitions.

[TUT]Custom mtd partitions

After tons of googling ive finally been able to customize the size of my data partition.
Im sharing it with you all...
Install Instuctions
It really is quite simple
1.download FR-recovery-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip and FR-boot-v1.5.6-CustomMTD_S.zip
2.create mtdpartmap.txt and put on /sdcard/ see configuration *
3.reboot to recovery
4.nandbackup
5.wipe cache + data
6.flash FR-recovery-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip(follow onscreen instructions)
7.reboot to recovery
8.Either : -
Nandrestore
or
Flash ROM + extras
9.flash FR-boot-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip
10.reboot
*For cyanogenmod- write "mtd 135 15"
this will give ur system 135mb, cache 15 mb and rest for data!!!!(u can change the values but be sure u give enough to system otherwise ull face problems while flashing)
NOTE-each time u flash a rom u MUST flash FR-boot-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip.
NOTE-if u reduce cache size by a large amount, market and other apps depending on cache will fc.
credits-Firerat for the files and instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717874
as sense roms are heavy...this wouldnt be of much help.
PS-as always im not responsible if u brick ur device.
PRESS THANKS IF IT HELPED!
Can someone test this please? To OP: does it work?
Want to do it, but don't want a bricked phone.
I just need a 100 mb more for data, so i dont need the build in "move to sd" option from android.

Chicken. As I wrote in the other thread....it works.
Be careful not to undersize your Cache partition though or Market and other apps that rely on it for temp storage will force close.
The guy that said he uses a 10 MB cache partition is on better drugs than I can afford...
dude,
i followed all the mentioned steps by letter but unfortunately i still have the stock part intact
1-copied the files to Sd
2-creating the text file mtd 150 25
3-flashed the recovery attached
4-flashed the rom (caynogenmod 7)
5- flashed the boot file
still have the original partitions :S i am missing smthing ?

Yes.
First this is a confusing and partially explained tutorial...No offense. Here it is for CM7.x with updated script files and an mtdpartmap.txt for CM7.x
1/ Create the txt file and do not hit enter. Make sure there is no carriage return taking you to a second line.
2/Now save it as "mtdpartmap.txt" (For CM7x you can use 145 20 with no worries).
3/ Copy the recovery file, the boot file and the mtdpartmap.txt files to the root of your SD card
4/Copy Alquez's latest nightyly CM7 zip to the root of your SD card along with the latest gapps zip
5/Reboot to recovery
6/ Erase user data
7/ Under Mounts, format system
8/ Install zip from SD card and run the Recovery zip
9/ Go back to mounts and format data, cache and system partitions
10/ Go to advanced menu and reboot to recovery
11/ If you are restoring a NANDROID backup do so now using backup/restore
12/ If you are installing CM7.x Install zip from SD and flash the CM7 zip and the gapps zip
13/ Install zip from SD card and now flash the boot zip.
14/ Return to recovery main menu and reboot device
15/ Enjoy your roomy CM7.x install!
Don't listen to 135 for CM7! It's not close to enough.
Will it work with Wildfire S with unlocked bootloader (via HTC webpage)? Or is it only for S-OFF phones?
I have the bootloader unlocked and it seems that it does not work :-( Maybe I am doing something wrong?
Y not 250 20?

@ d33spx the tutorial is perfect and complete.the steps u posted are unnecessary.
@everyone with s on but bl unlocked: it won't work.
@everyone with soff and cyanogen mod: 135 15 is more than enough...
For sense roms which are debloated 250 20 is good...
135 means I'll have Oly 135 MB internal?

You need to flash flash "FR-boot-v1.5.7-CustomMTD_S.zip" immediately after flashing a new ROM or Restoring any nandroid backup before restarting your device. This will keep your partitions.

What mtdpartmap would you recommend for modpunks CM9?

How to Flash/Use Multirom(Noob friendly)

Okay these are the steps I took and put as simple as possible.Some steps may be skipped depending on if you have done them or not.These are written based off my setup and what i did.
Disclaimer:Me nor Tassadar or bigsupersquid are responsible for any damage done to your phone so use at your own risk.
Multirom Install:
1.Format through cwm your sd card to have an ext(Recommended 512 mb)
2.Download the two zips from bigsupersquid posted here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20626123#post20626123
3.Place them both onto your sd card.
4.Boot into cwm and flash the cwm zip you downloaded from squid's thread.
5.Now reboot your phone and then boot again into cwm(It should have blue text if it flashed correctly and the multirom option)
6.Now I highly recommend you make a backup of your current rom just in case anything goes wrong.(I made a copy of it onto my pc as well.)
7.Now flash the other zip titled "Multirom..." and wait for it to install.Now reboot to see if it boots.If boots then everything has been done correctly.
Rom on SD Card setup/install:
For this I have install on phone the latest build of cm for oV and will be using the same rom to setup on sd card just for test.
1.Now here Make another backup of your current rom through recovery(Will be used trust me)
2.Now flash the rom you want to use on sd card.(If using a 2.3 rom then the sd card crom msu also be 2.3 and vice versa for 2.2 roms).Reboot phone(a must so dalvik is created correctly).(Make sure to do the appropriate steps fro flash rom like wiping etc.)
3.Reboot back into recovery.Go to multirom and select "Create from current rom". (flash the multirom zip again if it says folder not found)(ROM on the sdcard is placed in /sd-ext/multirom/rom/).
4.After it finished you can go ahead and restore the backup you made in step 1. and the reboot after finished and wait until boot manager shows up.
5.Select boot from sd card and it should boot into the rom you chose to install to sd.(If it doesn't then you did one of the steps wrong).
6.That's it you now have multirom booting enjoy it !
MultiROM recovery menu description:
Active/deactive state is for recovery only, you can boot ROMs from backup in boot manager - that means its N-times boot rather than dual-boot.
When not active(boot from internal memory):
Activate (move from backup) - when you already have backup, this will move it to active folder (fast).
Activate (copy from backup) - same as above, but it copies it instead of moving
Create from current ROM - pretty self-explanatory
When active(boot from sdcard):
Deactivate (move to backup) - Moves current ROM to backup folder, so next boot will be from internal memory
Backup - Creates backup of current ROM
Erase current ROM - Deletes current rom, next boot will be from internal memory
Copy modules from int mem - Copies modules from ROM in internal memory to SDcard. Try this if WiFi does not work in SDcard ROM.
Thanks to Tassadar,bigsupersquid,everyone behind cm7 for optimus v and anyone else that contributed to this
Sounds awsome, gotta try the noob friendly lol....dont have patience for the more detailed one ;P

Well pros would be you can dual boot between roms.Cons would be not many different roms since most are based off cm7 lol
why would i want to switch on the go from roms? im not being a **** or anything just wondering why someone would want to do that.

Some just like the choice of having two different roms customized differently with different apps and such.

Plus you can partition a bigger space on your SD card giving you more room for apps
What is the likeliness this recovery will prevent you from flashing a different recovery.
There are a couple people trying to flash the rzrecovery and getting failed attempts.

If you flash the recovery image using flash_image while booted into android, I think it's safe to say just about zero.

Something was not working right because a couple people using the multi recovery couldnt get rzrecovery to install. Not sure if they got IHO installed or not. I have a feeling something is not allowing flash_image to work properly with that recovery.
I just wanted to see what the devs of this recovery thought.
Tetris from recovery is worth it by itself! havn't installed a second rom yet but this is cool anyways

can you help me about building a cwm recovery for i569?
Sent from my GT-S5660
Well for sure you need Linux. You also need a lot of space on your Drive.
Is it for Stock or Custom Rom (Like CM7)
Try checking this out: Build a custom kernel and [HOWTO] Build custom kernel, libraries and applications on your own
Make sure you're using the right/recommended toolchain but if you pulled directly from the AOSP repo then i guess that's not your problem.
thank you for cwm recovery for 5660m but when I try to clear dalvik cache it reset back to home screen

That means the Dalvik Cache is cleared even though it doesn't show it
Trust me.

This customization is much appreciated however I still have two bugs:
1- I can’t mount the sd-ext (I’m using ext2 partition for link2sd); everything else were mounted correctly (cache, system, data and SD )
2- In the last step of backup I had an error when trying to generate the md5 sum (error while generating md5 sum!)
Any thoughts?
Thanks
-----------------------
Darkshado’s great Rom Already installed (ArpegGioMod ROM v0.8) on S5660M
1- Weird.. Try checking the original post and ask for help there or search your problem there
2- Did you try backing up just once or multiple times? Try backing up more than once. I had same problem even without my mods. But i tried what I said above and it works. If it still doesn't work ask in the original thread also and/or search on google

Thank you for the quick response:
1- It's what I did but don't get any response yet.
2- I tried backup for multiple times but bug in the same step md5
Thanks
All right it seems like there's some Bugs with this modded cwm. I'll try to find the problem and fix it Thanks for posting bug
EDIT~
It seems when I Backup on my own phone (without any fix yet), it seems to work!? Keep in mind I also have no SD EXT.

Peteragent5,
I just tested Nandroid backup with your CWM and ArpegGioMod 0.8 and I also get "error while generating md5 sum!". I tried it multiple times.
You mentioned that it works on your phone, but were you testing it with an EXT4 base system or RFS?
Nandroid backup with your CWM on a Ext4 system worked fine for me, but not RFS.
