[Desire Android Development] angusc:
Thanx mate i flashed it in Fastboot and seems to have taken OK.

Can this version restore back ups from 3.x.x.x versions?

@Zyone,

I like the idea of this tailored Recovery for our Desire. I have also been reading up on the importance of sdcard partition alignment and found melathron' flashable zip which aligns the Ext partition, makes it a EXT4 and 1.4GB by default. I was wondering if this modified CWM Recovery could also include this functionality? It would seem to be a good tool to have as part of the Recovery options to be able to create an aligned new Partition.....?

Melathron alignment.zip can be found from this link.

http://www.baadnwz.eu/2011/05/align-your-sdcard-fat-and-ext-partiton_16.html?m=1

EDIT2:

My device and ROM setup is as per below in my signature (CM7 HBoot / SD-EXT):

I did some testing of the modified 4.0.0.5 and here is my feedback:

(i) I note that when making a BACKUP that the Recovery status "progress" bar does not change.

(ii) Restore worked without issue and maintained the alignment of my EXT4 Partition as according to Melathron's alignment.zip which i ran after RESTORING and then checked the log file to see that there had been no change to the Alignment.

(iii) When RESTORING a NANDROID made with 4.0.0.5 the progress status bar is not working.

(iv) When flashing any .zip file in RECOVERY the Progress status bar does work correctly so the issue seems to be only with Backup and Restore menu options.

(v) RESTORING of a previous NANDROID back up made with 3.0.2.8 worked OK and also did not break the EXT alignment (despite having been made before I had aligned my EXT Partition).

Nope, was on stock alpharev hboot. Solved the problem though ;) Thanks for the answer :)
[Desire Android Development] astrovale:
Hi guys,

sorry for the newbie question: do you flash this file as any other file via the previous version of ClockworkMod Rec.?

Luca
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Yes if you are after the fake flash.

If not:

a)more complicated, unroot and root again with custom recovery

b)flash it via fastboot, must be s-off
[Desire Android Development] ADSLgratuit:
Hello

is it possible to develop a password acces (or something similar) to secure our smartphone ?
[Desire Android Development] xybadog:
What's the difference between a "fake flash" and a non "fake flash"?
[Desire Android Development] Eradorius:
Fake-flash using zip - recovery is temporary (you will have new recovery until you reboot, but you will still have old one).

Non fake flash - using fastboot makes recovery permanent (but you need to be s-off).

Upgrade question

Hi All,

I rooted my Desire GSM (AMOLED) I while back using Unrevoked (not sure which version now).

My recovery image is currently clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7. Am I able to flash the latest release (.zip) through my current recovery?I believe that I need to achieve S-OFF first?

Also is this a valid upgrade path because I have read conflicting instances of bricking various parts of the phone!

Thanks in advance!
[Desire Android Development] iocar:
^you are able to flash the latest release, the .zip in the original post through your current recovery. S-OFF is only if you don't want to reflash the .zip everytime you go to recovery, basically making it permanent. If you are S-ONed, your current recovery (2.5.0.7) will reappear after you reboot.
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
From my point of view you won't be in for so much of an upgrade if you do that. I'm returning to 2.5.0.7 as soon as I get a hold on my adb back home. Nuff said about an upgrade. :/
[Desire Android Development] number16:
sorry for a stupid question ... I have CWM Recovery 2.5.0.7 stock, and I try to upgrade to 3.2.0.1. I flashed the .zip in recovery, but when I restart the phone to go back to recovery it goes backto 2.5.0.7????

I already have S-Off, I thought the flash would stick?
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
Fastboot flash would stick, but flashing a zip will always end as a fake flash.
[Desire Android Development] number16:
Thanks a lot! fastoot flashed it and it sticks now!

btw i can restore old NANDroid backups with the new recovery and it won't be a problem, right?
[Desire Android Development] Salty Wagyu:
Is 3.2.0.1 in OP still latest? I noticed Revolutionary.io put Clockworkmod 4.0.1.4 on my phone a few days ago when asked.

[Desire Android Development] jhannbernas:
what is the latest version? maybe not the latest but the most stable one?

can i just flash zip file on my recovery to update ClockWorkMod? Please help!
[Desire Android Development] erklat:
To update the recovery either:

[*] unroot and then root again using custom recovery

Or

[*] gain s-off and flash it through the fastboot.

You can't flash a zip unless you are after a fakeflash.
[Desire Android Development] jhannbernas:
how to use the zip file attached in your post? please help. thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Toonshorty:
Sorry, I'm a little out the loop.

[Desire Android Development] tanjinjack:
Okay, so I am quite new in fastboot stuff, just got S-OFF two days ago.

I am going to describe the procedure I would want to take to flash the recovery via fastboot.

1. Install SDK.

2. Run cmd and cd to android-sdk\tools

3. Copy the Recovery's .img to the same directory

4. Get to bootloader (power+vol down).

5. Type "fastboot devices"

6. If got back "S/N fastboot", proceed

7. "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-bravo.img"

8. Unplug my Desire, and reboot my phone from bootloader.

Let me know if I miss out anythings!
[Desire Android Development] maxvanni:
flashed this morning and works great, thanks dude!
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
That should do it. Make sure you have all the drivers installed too. Including the ones from HTC Sync.
[Desire Android Development] tanjinjack:
Use the Android Flasher to flash my splash screen this afternoon and it works, so I think I have the necessary drivers. I did not install the HBOOT driver from unrevoked though and it still works. Can I assume that I have all the necessary drivers already?
[Desire Android Development] jordan.harris01:
I would think so. If "fastboot devices" doesn't come up with your S/N then you don't. If it does, you're good to go.
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
I really don't understand why advanced users are unnecessary confusing unexperienced users. You're enjoying this or something?!

For all: Don't bother with ADB, command-line and crap like that. Use tool Fastboot Commander to change HBOOT, recovery, splash screen etc. in matter of seconds in easy understandable GUI.
[Desire Android Development] enuazeal:
if fastboot devices doesn't recognize phone, Fastboot Commander will change HBOOT and rest?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
if fastboot devices doesn't recognize phone, Fastboot Commander will say fastboot doesn't recognize phone :D

make sure the hboot drivers are installed, go into fastboot mode plug in the usb to ur laptop and check in device manager on ur pc if the device is correctly installed and known
[Desire Android Development] enuazeal:
yeah everything that is done, android sdk, drivers installed (also htc sync, then uninstalled and left usb drivers), restarted, phone in fastboot connected to usb i get Android phone in device manager, open cmd type fastboot devices and nothing
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
That strange..but what is nothing exactly? is there some error? or something else? in your phone there is the message fastboot-usb when u plug the usb to ur pc?
[Desire Android Development] enuazeal:
nothing, no error, no messages, nothing :) on phone it says fastboot usb

here's the pic http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2280/fastboot.png

what usb drivers did u use? can u share them?

i tried with drivers from unrevoked and even those that came with andoid sdk android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver\android_winusb.inf
[Desire Android Development] Kameo:
Thanks a lot mate.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Sorry going to sound silly, but has anyone done a full nandroid backup and restore yet?

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
haven't done a restore yet, but the size of a backup with 3.0.2.4 is the same as with 2.5.1.8, and YES, sd-ext is also backed up this time. seems like a good one ;)
[Desire Android Development] dzumagos:
do we type 'fastboot devices' when in BOOTLOADER or in FASTBOOT mode (which we enter from bootloader) ???
[Desire Android Development] godutch:
@danward can you send the recovery to koush, so he can include it in rommanager as he requests in his blog?
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Well, since it is fastboot command we are using in it fatsboot mode (shocking, isn't it?).
[Desire Android Development] Matty Matt:
I'm feeling a bit blonde at the moment, but is the zip file capable of replacing CWM 2.5.0.7? or is it a fakeflash? :S
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
You can't flash recovery, you can replace it only via fastboot.
[Desire Android Development] reef2009:
Its a working flash but not permanent. Just like the one for CMW 3.0.0.5
[Desire Android Development] Timzter:
How come in Rom Manager version 2.5.0.7 still shows up as the most recent one? And is there a way to update it so that this is the latest version or at least any version of 3?
[Desire Android Development] fragargon:
loooks to the market place, there's a new release rom manager v4.0.0

;)
[Desire Android Development] Timzter:
Yeah I've got that but the latest ClockworkMod Recovery is still 2.5.0.7?
[Desire Android Development] viva.fidel:
Just to let you guys know, even if you are S-ON, you can use unrevoked3 to permanently update the recovery image, although fakeflashing the zip each time isn't too much of a hassle

help !!
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
are you s-off?
[Desire Android Development] smarti13:
I've used Unrevoked

HOW can I know ? don't remember !
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Well you probably aren't because it requires you to use alpha rev, and fastboot can only be used to flash if you are s-off
[Desire Android Development] smarti13:
"alpha rev" ==> available where ?

"s-off": means ?

thanks
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
alpharev.nl

s-off means you remove the security flag and allow flashing in fastboot and you can also modify system whilst the phone is on.

[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Did you download the "AlphaRev 1.8 HBOOT reflash utility" iso?

Burn it into a cd and boot ur pc with that cd, when it ask u to plug the device, do it and u will be s-off

After s-off u can use every command like fastboot flash..So u will able to flash the recovery

U have to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img or any other img from alpharev.nl only if u want change the partition layout (change the dimensions of ur system/data/cache partitions )of ur device
[Desire Android Development] smarti13:
NO, I've only try to flash the bravo_alphaspl.img from fastboot from the PC

thanks

unrevoked will work too ?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
yes first to run unrevoked choice a custom recovery img file to flash

unrevoked will not give u s-off anyway
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
2.5.0.7 is the last cwm created and supported by koush. everything else is be compiled from source/commits by users

alot of the 3 versions were causing usb bricks even though uDK posted that screenshot but the errors were there none the less and only a few of them were from restoring backups from other recoveries

the problem with it is that koush doesnt deal with the bravo dev versions of 3 and as such wont be aware or bothered fixing those issues as its nothing to do with him.
[Desire Android Development] Timzter:
Thanks for clearing that up.
[Desire Android Development] danward:

After a few seconds it shows error message: root failed is your firmare to new?

or another method of instalation new cw recovery for S-ON user?
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Do you actually know what tomorrow means? Obviously not.
[Desire Android Development] ClassicalDonkey:
I get this too!

HBOOT - 0.93.0001

How about you?

Update : Run it with out selecting the updated img, it should give you a earler one, then run the updated one and it will work fine. It worked for me!
[Desire Android Development] danward:
In the first post ;).

3.0.2.8 up'd compiled about an hour ago.

[Desire Android Development] Philstadt:
you have to make a RUU

I had the same problem.

Solved it with flashing the RUU.

Then you are back on original HTC software, after this, upen unrevokes, load the downloaded recovery version, plug in your desire and root it again :) thats it :D
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Excellent thread..

We frightened away udk from this forum after he failed to remove the buggy version he posted here.. ;)

Thanks for this thread..

I suggest that you put [RECOVERY] instead of [RELEASE], to make it easier to find

I can't flash any radio since i've updated CW. I get the following error message:

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.

It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the Clockwork Mod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.

Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages

How do i solve this issue ?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
Downgrade CWM or flash via fastboot, or get someone to update the scripting
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
Should i downgrade to 2.5.0.7 ? What do you recommend ?
[Desire Android Development] cyron_at:
2.5.0.7 - is ok!

Why did you change it? Never touch a running system!
[Desire Android Development] Yekxmerr:
I was testing some Sense GB roms where it recommend using a newer version of CW due to scripting issues. Can i flash the recovery using Unrevoked or i need to go back to original RUU and then Unrevoked ?
[Desire Android Development] andreigherghe:
Can someone reupload the flashable img file?

The download stops at 100KB :(

Edit: Nevermind, works fine now :)
[Desire Android Development] Bl@ck:
You don't need to downgrade, just install rommanager from market, tell him to "reboot in recovery" and he'll load temporarily CW 2.5.0.7.

Anybody a solution?
[Desire Android Development] efx_9:
Probably you'll have to do it via PC since via zip the recovery its temporary

If I have amon_ra 2.0, how can I instal this recovery?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Like every other user does, doesn't matter what recovery u have to flash a recovery..U can flash it in the same way u flashed amon-ra..

If you are s-off use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from ur pc, or much simple use the PB99IMG.zip some posts ago (require s-off too)..

These are the simple ways to flash permanently any recovery, overwriting ur actual recovery..

If you doesn't have s-off, u can flash it with unrevoked
[Desire Android Development] mihai.onu94:
After I flash the new recovery (I am s-off) I have to reinstall the rom?
[Desire Android Development] Muxeu:
no man ;) just make the new backup
[Desire Android Development] mihai.onu94:
So I will lose the curent rom? I read that the backups made with amonra and restored with cwm will brick the phone.
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
No you won't lose your current rom. You just wont be able to restore old back ups.
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
You don't lose the current rom, as flashing the recovery doesn't change ur rom at all..

Only a tip, as already said, after the recovery flash, make a new backup with the new CMW, so if a day u need to restore a backup, u can restore that new backup and not the ones made with amon-ra..is it clear now? :D
[Desire Android Development] mihai.onu94:
When I try to flash the zip from recovery I get this error: Can't find update script.

[Desire Android Development] mihai.onu94:

I don't get this, after installing the zip it runs this clockworkmod then if you reset it starts the older one. i am s-off but don't know how to do the img file. any help?

ive got a little problem with CWM 3.0.2.7 when i trie to flash the lastest .08 radio.

Just took a picture with my old hero, so please dont care about quality ^^...

It says there is a updatescript in it, which isnt longer supported, and now?

May the new version fix the problem?
[Desire Android Development] iinga:
No, the radios ideally need someone to go and upgrade their update scripts to edify... Or you can flash them through Rom manager...or downgrade
[Desire Android Development] AzureusPT:
Versions 3.x.x.x of CWM no longer support the old way of update-script used since android 1.5. It now supports the new updater-script way (its like a 2.0 of the old update-script). Since the update you're trying to apply uses the old versión, you have two choices to avoid the problem and flash it:

You can use CWM recovery version 2.x.x.x to flash the update.

You can edit the update-script to the new updater-script and re-sign the package.

Hope this helps!
[Desire Android Development] Anakha56:
Do you still need modified adb drivers to do this? Not sure if I should install the modified driver from unRevoked or not...

I used the adb drivers from the Android SDK r10 without problem, you can also find an executable fastboot for Windows 7.

I've flashed my phone via Linux and Windows 7 without problems with Android SDK adb drivers.
