  • Download v0.34beta from the first page.
  • Install it to your device.
  • Download ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5
  • Install is using Recovery Manager
  • In the application press MENU and then 'Debug'.
  • Post here what it says

ok i did using fastboot install a custom rom so it has all been cool. but since you have been very kind to respond ,sebastian let me know if i can do any further tests too. here are the results:

i downloaded 0.34, installed it only my device, downlaoded 3.0.0.0, when i opened recovery manager it said unrecognized although i had a working 2.5.1.8. i installed 3.0.0.5 and it again said unrecognized.i clicked debug and this is the log:

version: 0.34 beta

device : blade

recovery partition:

mtd0:00480000 00020000

"recovery"

recovery md5:

24dcec43fe949d08177eb3527545fa3a

firmware md5:

c0d3467e468669042a2a01738ab51105

just for a laugh , i restarted my phone, volume button down, and as expected worst happened. the install did botch my working 2.5.1.8 recovery.

i had to take the battery out , boot again , without volume button down, but atleast now i could boot back to my custom froyo.

i think i will fastboot again with 2.5.1.8, just in case. cheers

let me know if u update it again or u need any more testing to be done.

update: i can fastboot both 2.5.1.8 and 3.0.0.5 i just did them both and could boot onto recovery., hereby confirm that there is not problem with the files itself. it the recovery manager which does not recognize anythign and botches up any existing recovery installed via fastboot.

thanks

Seb, can you filter out the results either from the folder /sdcard/PlayerPro/* or the files that their name starts with playerpro.*.img (note * is a wildcard char)

Cause they are PlayerPro's files (mostly album arts) that show up in the "install recovery" search results (and they are many).

Thanks

Hi

just installed 0.34b with a kitchen version of mcr r12

Unfortunately getting forced closes everytime I try opening RM

Frequently asked questions

    [*]The application Force Closes on me

    Make sure your device is rooted, and you have SuperUser installed, I recommend you use
    Universal AndRoot

    [*]The application still Force Closes on me

    Are you sure your device is rooted? and you have SuperUser installed? Did I mention that I recommend you use
    Universal AndRoot
    ?

    [*]Yes I'm sure, and its still bust, I hate you!

    I understand fully, I hate me too <sadface>. If you can replicate the fault, please run logcat from ADB and post up your log here and I will do my level best to try and fix it for you.

    [*]What is this logcat you speak of?

    if you have the USB drivers installed, and Android Debug Bridge (ADB) you can run this command
    'adb logcat RecoveryManager:* *:s'
    if you can copy and paste the parts of that log it will help me understand why your having problems.

Im going to ad support into the next version that it will check any img file to ensure they are valid recovery images.... how many is many tho?

Depends on the albums you have. PlayerPro is a music player and it downloads the album artwork and some other info and saves them into .img

How many?

Well look at size of that scrollbar in the screenshot :P

It doesn't particularly matter but the version android uses to determine the application version (as opposed to what is written in the UI) is still 0.23. I only noticed it because Titanium didn't pick up 0.34 as a new app to backup.

Hmm, that's an odd one, its suppose to get that from the same place.... I'll have a look into that, and make sure its fixed for the next version, thanks.

Will this be seeing an update to recognise clockwork 3.0.0.6? I only put the new clockwork on an hour ago and I'm missing Recovery manager already. :D

I tried update database off the menu.

Installed my first ROM with Recovery Manager 0.34b yesterday. Followed the standard proceedure, as described in the Guide thread and everything went pretty smoothly - great application by the way!

I did run into the problem that a few others have had - after performing a backup RM presents a Force Close message. I probably overkilled on the fix (uninstall RM, unroot, root, reinstall RM) but everything worked fine for the firmware install after that.

So - thanks, I guess!

Hey seb, will you keep developing this even if Rom Manager support Blade?

Well Recovery Manager supports more than just the Blade... but I expect its user base to drop somewhat.

but how will Rom manager support Blade when the clockworksmod they got dont support Blade?

will they ask to use the one people in modaco compiled? (yours for example)

Also, i just updated Recovery manager but its still not recognizing 3.0.0.6b1

In the thread with the new versions of Cyanogen, TomG seems to be promoting his own build of clockworkmod recovery, and as I understand it, koush uses the build files thats apart of cyanogenmod to create clockworkmod recovery images for his tool...

It is Koush's code, its more his than mine...

ya i know that, i was just wondering if he would make his version compatible with our phones or people would just use the cwm found in modaco

Does anyone have this working on Cyanogen? It force closes for me. :D

Its mentioned in the Known Issues :D

I've not had time to look into it, but the underlying native executable Segdumps for some reason

EDIT: I checked, its already in the Canogen issue tracker
