When I tap the ”
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery” followed by tapping my phone model (Galaxy Nexus CDMA), there’s a quick progress bar at the top of the screen, just below the status bar. But the progress bar gets stuck at around 90% and doesn’t mode from there at all. I keep getting prompts saying “ROM Manager has stopped working” and I keep tapping “wait”, hoping that the download or whatever it is doing is taking time. But even after 20 minutes or so, there’s no progress. I have done this multiple times on multiple days, with no difference. Please advice.

Is it possible to flash the clockworkmod on to a samsung transform?
just rooted my cliq xt 1.5, now i can’t get ROM Manager from market or QR code because it’s still 1.5. what is my next step so i can get to “flash Clockwork Mod Recovery?
It succesfully installed on samsung galaxy ace but when i pressed “Flash ClockworkMod Recovery” my phone’s name did not came up. Only some other irrelevant phones.
Should i pick one of those other phones or is it going to be a mess?
Is the server down? I’m connected via Wlan and confirmed it works. When attempting to flash, the indicator just goes and goes, no process after 15 minutes at least.
Or does it take longer than that to install?
I’m in China

how to install clockwork by ADB ?

I’ve got a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab in the UK on Vodafone. My question is when trying to install the “ClockworkMod Recovery”, it asks me to “Confirm Phone Model” offering the Galaxy Tab – Verizon, Galaxy Tab – ATT, Galaxy Tab – T-Mobile. Will it cause any problems using one of these on a Galaxy Tab – Vodafone UK? Thanks 🙂

Hi there,
I installed the ROM Manager on my Morotola Spice XT300. Running that I have the option to install the ClockworkMod Recovery but I dont know which phone model to pick up. Any idea?
Regards,
Alexandre Andrade
If it does not show your phone model, you should not proceed further as installing a recovery image intended for another phone can have unexpected consequences – you might not be able to boot into recovery at all afterwards or worse, there is a chance of your device getting bricked even. There *might* be some recovery intended for another phone that works for yours but you can’t be sure unless you try it out and trying out recoveries for other phones is a risk I wouldn’t recommend you take.
So I have a samsung moment and wanted to use ROM Manager to update ClockworkMod (since I can’t find a direct download link anymore for the most up to date version). How can I get that phone in the list? Who is the developer of the software? Can I just use Epic4g?
Get an iPhone
It doesn’t have to say your EXACT phone model, infact for the infuse and about 4 other phone models the Samsung I9000 is what you choose. It doesn’t say infuse or anything. You may want to check what and if you can use another phone model.
HTC Tatto Cyanogemod hardware is equal. But do not know the consequences more are the same hardware.
Do you know if this is possible on the Motorola XT300 Spice?
I just did some quick googling, and it seems a custom recovery for Motorola XT300 Spice has yet to be released. In case you have ROM Manager installed, can you see if it lets you install ClockworkMod Recovery?
