Hi all...
Phone = Droid A855
Rooted = Yes, with "SuperOneClick"
ROM Manager v4.8.0.1
Clockworkmod v2.5.0.1
Phone was first rooted two weeks ago and phone was fully up to date at that time.
Problem:
Clockworkmod Recovery doesn't stay after I flash it and reverts back to the default factory Recovery.
Basically, I can use rom manager to download/flash clockwork mod and then I must use "reboot into recovery" for me to use the clockwork mod. this is my only chance to use it. If I restart again the factory recovery is back and what's stranger is that if I allow the phone to load and go into ROM manager, that app reports that I have the clockwork mod flashed.... If I use "reboot into recovery" OR if I do a manual shutdown and use the hold "X" method then I'm back into the factory recovery.
I can only use clockworkmod once and I must boot into shortly after the flash... if I wait too long to reboot, I've found that at some unknown time the factory recovery is once again placed on the phone.
Thank you for any help or tips on this,
TK.
No ideas?.... is there a better place to post about this?

A quick question.
We all boot our Phones into Recovery, (And i do anyway)
Run Update.zip (Fake Flash)
And hey Presto am in Clockwork Recovery,
Is there not way to Flash your Recovery to have Clockwork Recovery as the default recovery,
No more running Update.zip and when you boot into recovery your in clockwork recovery.....
(Yes i know ROM manager and other utility's do that but from the simple power on with Volume button etc)
Use unrEVOked...

Basically with unrevoke, you can permanently flashed recovery of your choice (either Clockwork mod or AmonRa) into your phone. What this mean you can go directly to your recovery (by pressing Vol - and Pwr) without booting into any application or even ROM.
i have flashed to Clockwork Recovery, but i want to flash into AR recovery. i used the unvekoed to flash the customr recovery, after the desire reboot, it is still the Clockwork Recovery. What can i do?
Did you load the AR recovery in unrevoked? Start unrevoked, custom recovery image.
I'm just asking to be sure, not that you mix up names.

yes~~~I have~~~~ but i have rooted b4, after the phone rebooted, unrevoked doesn't show Done!
Ask in the unrEVOked thread
I have clockworkmod recovery installed on my device, so whenever i want to update my phone from settings, it restarts and goes to the clockworkmod recovery and never advances through the update, how can i remove the recovery menu and replace it with the original stock one?
Hi all, I'm looking for a little help.
I have a GSM Desire that I rooted a while back with Unrevoked and selected a custom recovery image which at the time was AmonRa. I've been running LeeDroid for a while, updated a couple of revision of ROMs with no problem and have now moved onto CM7 RC2.
After looking in ROM Manager which I'd never used before, it tells me my current recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7 and if I click on reboot into recovery it reboots into ClockworkMod. However if I press the powere button and reboot into recovery I end up in AmonRa 1.7.0.1-R5.
So first is this expected as if not how do I resolve it?
Second, how can I go about reflashing to a later version of AmonRa? I've tried using Unrevoked again but it seems to stop at "Running root" after pushing the image and rebooting the phone.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Rom Manager has it's own fake flash recovery which just loads the recovery once, temporary recovery if you would like to call it that. The AmonRA that you have is a permanent recovery installed. That is why you get the two different recoveries.
As it stands, the only way to flash a permanent recovery image (the one you want to update) is to use fastboot or to use a utility. This requires S-Off.
Using unrevoked on an already rooted rom is a no go.
Hello everybody, first post, please take care .
earlier, i managed to brick my defy by first deleting google talk and then using terminal emulator to push the google talk back in system apps.
after flashing a stock sbf through rsdlite, i got my phone working again. my problem started when i flashed another rom (followed instructions from pay's rom tutorial). i was able to flash the sbf file, then root using superoneclick, then install clockwork mod (downloaded the apk and installed manually). i rebooted after cmw install just to be sure and when rebooting to cm recovery only a blank screen shows. i was puzzled as on m original 2.51 rom before, the clockworkmod recovery screen shows up when i reboot in recovery. i tried installing other stock roms (nordic froyo), the problem still persists (blank screen). it also seems to have affected the standard recovery (volume down+power), after showing the exclamation mark with the android guy, no matter where i press on the screen nothing happens, whereas before pressing on the lower right hand screen brings up the menu. what did i screw up this time?
i needed cm recovery to work for i can't flash custom roms without it. any help would be much appreciated. thanks
I had the same problem with clockworkmod so I installed the 2nd init recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212 and used clockwork mod from its recovery menu.
I think the problem was caused by installing clockwork mod with USB debugging enabled.

so should i try uninstalling clockworkmod and install again? this time un-enabled usb debugging?
what exactly is a 2nd init recovery?do i just flash this over the existing sbf?
sorry for the questions, am still a newbie when flashing defy.
to access stock recovery when the android appears press vol down + up at the same time, my touch screen didnt work in recovery before either
once you can access stock recovery wipe data/factory reset, and flash a new ROM fresh
hey everyone,
So i just rooted my phone using the wiki cyanogen mod, and everything worked great... afterwards I downloaded rom manager and used this method here
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Vision:_Radio_and_CyanogenMod
Method via ROM Manager
Launch RomManager.
Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.
Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.
Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.
Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps* option.
Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.
If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.
The HTC Vision will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.

After this the phone rebooted and now it's been stuck on the white htc screen... I'm completely clueless on what to do now.. any help would be great thank you guys
So did you flash a 5.x.x.x recovery from ROM manager? People are having issues with this.
Pull the battery and try booting up again. If this happened on your first attempt (aka it hasnt actually wiped or anything) just go back to your ROM, and flash a previous CWM recovery. 3.0.2.4 works. THEN try to do the process.
All ROM manager is doing here is automating a process you can do yourself. I'm assuming what happened is you're having a problem with the new recovery when it reboots to go to the recovery, it hangs on HTC screen. ROM manager and CWM haven't even had a chance to do anything yet.
Another option is to pull the battery and boot with vol. down + power, then enter recovery. See if it enters. If it does, then you can reboot and run the install from ROM manager and it should work this time. You could also do it manually at that point if you wanted.
For me (and many others) when using a 5.x.x.x CWM recovery, the first boot always hangs at the HTC logo, and after a battery pull and a 2nd attempt to boot into recovery, it works.
if i was at your position and cwm is installed, by look at your post it is installed.
i pull battery out and put it back in. turn on your phone whilst holding volume down.
it will scan for pc10img if there's any dont install it...
then there should be an option for recovery, use the volume rocker to navigate gate and your on button to select.
your phone will restart and hopefully load cwm manager.
if you've got there then you can wipe data and cache then install a different ROM or another cyanmod rom.
thank you guys for all the help! it was much needed, I have successfully rooted my phone and I have cyanmod 7, i'm so glad i didn't brick my phone hahah
Gratulations
