I've tried searching for other threads about this issue but have found none. I have an Optimus V with ROM manager and anytime I try to Flash Clockwork Recovery Mod a window pops up that instructs me to confirm my phone model. The only problem is that none of the models listed are mine. I picked the first option (the "Huawei Pulse Mini") and it said that it installed correctly, but I still don't know if I'll be able to flash other ROMS correctly.
Summary: How do I get my phone model to show up in the pop up window of Rom Manager when I want to install Clockwork Recovery Mod
Have you tried selecting optimus one from the list?

Well do you flash the cwm made by mik or is there any other cwm recovery for ur phone.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Also, under Current Recovery it says Clockwork Mod 2.5.0.7 (it also says this as the latest version). Not sure if that helps or not, but thought I would let everyone know.
You will have to ask your developer for support, the one who made port of recovery for ur phone. I think opcode did that port.....

I found the recovery image for the Optimus One and put the .img file on the root of my SD card, but I'm not too sure where to go from there. What do I do with the .img file on my SD card?

Install the .zip from Rom Manager?
EDIT: Downloaded Android SDK and currently installing archives. Once that finishes do I just open an adb shell window and type in the commands that he gives in the opening post?
You can also do all that in terminal emulator app without any sdk. But the command are to be typed should be exact with no mistakes.
Also do search for cwm recovery for your phone there's also another cwm recovery for ur phone that's stable. In terminal emulator app type 'su' at $ prompt than promt changes to # than type all the commands.
$ su

My bro has not long got a Dell streak.. but has no computer to hook it up to.
Is there any way round flashing with fastboot?
The phone is already rooted.. so I just need to flash the recovery.
Can handle some command line stuff if anyone knows how to do it.
Thanks.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Bump!
The phone IS ROOTED already... So if I can mount /system I can delete the install-recovery.sh script so the stock recovery won't reflash.
But Rom manager flashes recovery to the wrong place apparently.
Can anyone tell me if 'flash_image' will work
My bro wants a custom Rom bad... But no pc to get him started
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Maybe with terminal emulator, and clockwork on your sd card... Not sure tho, search the forums.
Just a brain storm.... But could I modify the install-recovery.sh script to flash cwm?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
If someone could upload the script from their phone... Id really appreciate it.
Thanks
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Yes it can be done with terminal on streak just make sure you su.
I will post the script for you if i get time
Cool... I knew it was possible.
He's definatley got Su privileges.. so just need to know the appropriate commands for him to type.
Thanks
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
At a quick guess
Name the recovery something like recovery
copy the Recovery to the SD card
Make sure you have a terminal app on the phone
On the phone, Run the terminal application and type su press enter
Note that the terminal's text prompt will change from # to $
If it doesn't, then you haven't "rooted" the phone. Go back and try again!
In the Terminal, type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
when its done reboot the phone
Thats off top of my head but i think its right
hi i was wondering do i need to replace both droidsans.tff AND droidsans-bold.ttf
if so do i replace them with the same tff file ( the font i;m using only has one .tff file) or can't i use it
i'm running hboot1.01 using CWM
Yes, u can use the same ttf file to substitute both DroidSans and DroidSans-Bold but then ur phone shall display both regular and bold text in the same way.

Thanks a lot I was just wondering
I'm guessing to flash it I use adb push. Etc.... XD
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
ok i flashed them using adb push etc to /system/fonts/droid etc....
i overwrote droidsans and droidsans-bold but nothing it hasn't changed What am i doing wrong?
Have you done a reboot?
I clicked to reboot the phone since I'm on hboot 1.01 its the only way I can flash them without command prompt saying its a read only file
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
Are you sure you did overwrite those ttf files? Did you mount /system before adb push?
Ok I didn't do that :/ guess hats where I went wrong right? Do you need to do that ? XD if so what did I do :/ XD
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA Premium App
Mount /system via clockwork recovery and than push the fonts via adb

Cool ok thanks one other question
Why do you have to mount it first?
Also how would I go about flashing other stuff e.g the lockscreen and widgets and what not

You pushed stuff into /system directory which actually resided in initramfs. That's similar to ramdisk.

u need a computer then.
use gingerbreak
got root and custom recover without PC
Use the Gingerbreak app to get root without a PC. I have just finished doing this.
I sent the link to myself in email from my desktop browser then downloaded with the Optimus to my /sdcard/download directory. I then installed the file using Explorer from the Market. Then just click and the Gingerbreak installs the root with the "su" program and the Superuser app. Then you can install a Busybox and Terminal from the Google Market. Check if you can be root.
I then flashed a custom AmonRa recovery without a PC for RA-thunderg-1.2.0-GNM by sending the link to myself in email and downloading to my /sdcard/download directory. I then used the busybox programs "md5sum" and "unzip" with the AmonRa zip:
Code:
cd /sdcard/download/
md5sum amon_ra_recovery_installer.zip
unzip amon_ra_recovery_installer.zip -d /sdcard/
cd ..
su
sh ./rf.sh
I hope I remembered everything. I do have root now and AmonRa recovery without a PC so that is possible. After all that, I just got the "adb" working in Linux by adding the IDs to the udev config. Of course, I could have used USB file transfer to the Optimus instead of using the email except my phone was sitting in my truck at the time. Look here for more information:

Please help; will Reset to factory setting help?
Boot into recovery, connect to your computer, open command prompt and type adb pull /system/build.prop
Edit the build.prop with notepad++ and fix the VM size, chances are that app set the VM size as 128 or 128mb instead of 128m which it should be.
Then once its fixed just adb push it back to /system/build.prop

Hold volume down, home button and power button together and it will boot into recovery.
I take it you don't have the android sdk on your computer? You need that to use adb.
If not then the easiest option is to factory reset, or maybe someone will make you a flashable zip that will replace your build.prop.

How do I :
"open command prompt and type adb pull /system/build.prop" .
Is it the windows Command Propmt?
If you have these questions you honestly shouldn't be messing with heap size.

Yes, that's it.
First type "adb devices" (no" ")
If you get a long serial number then adb is set up on your computer but I doubt it seeing as you are asking how to boot into recovery.
I take it you have a custom recovery?
If you give me a few mins I'll make you a flashable zip that will replace your build.prop, tell me what rom you are on

man if you are downloading the full rom, better flash it via odin . job done. almost all the stock roms are non wipe
I know goo manager uses root permission to flash a recovery while the phone is on. So I was wondering if terminal emulator could do the same. I know this question is probably very noob-ish, but I'm curious.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
You should be able to with root permission
You think you could enlighten me on the "how to"?

Yea its the same as when u do it via command prompt just do su at the start
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Place the recovery on the root of your sd card. Make sure its not in any folders. Rename the recovery img "recovery.img" without the quotes. Then open up terminal. Type "su" without the quotes. Then when you receive the # sign, then type this
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(and press enter)
you will now get this
#
now type
reboot recovery
and you should boot into your recovery you just flashed.

Its cool man we all been there. But as om4 posted you should always give exact details on what it is your trying to do or wanting to do. That way you get the best feedback. Also you can use the method I posted above to flash the stock recovery. However if you type the "reboot recovery" command and boot into the stock recovery you will have to hard shut down via power button to exit/reboot I believe. Not a 100% sure as I haven't seen the stock recovery since I first got this phone.
