[HELP] Help installing Clockwork

[Guest ololizoz]

Hello. I'm trying to install ClockworkMod with fastboot but it is stuck on sending recovery. Or atleast is has been there for 20 minutes. What should I do?

[Guest That-Guy]

Is this how you are doing it?

- Download the ClockWork Recovery Mod – Download.

- Turn off your phone and take out the battery and Unplug the phone from the PC / charger.

- Replace the battery and turn the phone back on with ‘volume up’ held. The device will stay at the ‘green android’ screen.

- Plug the phone into the PC.

- Extract the fastboot folder once downloaded.

- From a command prompt (at the directory containing these new files!) run ‘fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-blade.img‘ (subsituting ‘fastboot-mac’ or ‘sudo fastboot-linux’ if not running Windows).

- When this finishes, from the command prompt run ‘fastboot-windows reboot‘ (again substituting ‘fastboot-mac’ or ‘sudo fastboot-linux’ if not running Windows).

- ClockWork Recovery Mod should now be installed.

Yes.

EDIT: Tested on another computer and it worked. Still have no idea why it worked on this computer but not the other.

Create a directory let's say on C:\ called ZTE. Then extract/download files to C:\ZTE. Use this directory as your working directory.

mind you I'll receive my SanFran tomorrow and hopefully flash over the weekend.

HTH

Im trying to do this myself tonite, could someone tell me if installing this clockwork mod just gives you another installed program and doesnt wipe the phone in anticipation of a new ROM? I want to backup my data and settings first.

Clockwork will let you do a FULL Nandroid backup of your device - however once you have put a custom ROM on (using clockwork again) you can't just pull bits of the data back - you get the whole ROM and everything back.

What you need to do is ROOT your device and install | Titanium Backup from the Market

See Rooting here

And Titanium Backup here

Then use clockwork to put your NEW ROM on

Then install clockwork and pull back the bits you want to restore.
