[Q] Bootstrap not working with Eclipse 1.3

---

So I just flashed eclipse last night and it's working perfectly fine. One problem I'm having, though, is that whenever I try to go to recovery mode (I open up the bootstrap, install recovery, and then click recovery mode), it just goes to the charge screen. I AM plugged into a wall outlet whenever I try this.

I am rooted, I do have superuser permissions on the recovery. Any ideas? Thanks

more info please

what eclipse version?
what Android version?
how did u obtain root?

are u using the bootstrapper located In settings>eclipse parts

and make sure u press install recovery before pressing recovery mode.

edit...okay I see u r on 1.3
make sure u r using the bootstrapper from eclipse parts.

if that fails to work try forgetting superuser permission and then regrant them.

yes you're correct i'm on 1.3. I'm on 2.3.4, and I used the one-click root method and have already used other root-require apps and they work fine. I am using the bootstrap located in eclipse parts. I'll try that, thanks!

also
u sure u have power actually making it to the phone?
I have had times where I didn't have charger hooked up correctly
and times where the power to the outlet I was using had been cutoff and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work lol

and if all else fails u can always try wiping data and all that jazz lol
but u would have to do it from stock recovery.
worst come to worst sbf and try again

I don't see why it wouldn't work if u are following direction and not.missing any step

not sure but I think usb debugging might need to be on. in development under application settings.

I tried forgetting su permissions but it didn't work, went to the charge screen just like every other time. I've been installing the recovery.

Hmm does it have anything to do with the bootstrap "thinking" the entire time? The circle that shows the system is working never went away, if you know what I mean. Does that make sense?

USB Debugging is checked. I just checked to enable installation of non-market apps just in case and tried again, but it went to the charge screen again...

r u following this exactly?
1. open eclipse parts
2. bootstrap recovery
3. press install recovery
4. wait for "install success"
5. plug phone into charger and charger into WALL OUTLET.(where the battery level is should change to the lightning bolt symbol)
6. press reboot recovery.
7. BSR should come up

if not u r either missing a step or something is wonky.
try data wipe maybe.

any luck yet?

I have had it plugged in the entire time, but I'll wait until I install the recovery next time. I'm currently not at home but I'll try it once more when i get home.

Uninstall recovery then reinstall

It won't uninstall for some reason. Each time I tried it said it failed.

Also, I tried waiting until I installed the recovery to plug my phone in but it also did not work. I just wiped data, I'm gonna see what that does.

Data wipe worked! Finally.

Thanks everyone.

Alright so here's what I actually think happened:
I backup all my apps+data with MyBackup Root.
When I went to restore all the apps, I included the bootstrap in those restorations.
So I think the bootstrap getting restored messed up the existing bootstrap.
