You can still use your old recovery images but you have to relocate them. Clockwork stores it's images in a different folder than RA did. However once you flash Clockwork you can just move your old ones to the folder that Clockwork uses and they will still function.
[Hero CDMA General] kingdazy:
Just a mention, worked great once I moved my nandroids to the new folder. had to let it backup once to create the folder, but easy peasy.

and clockwork seems really nice Lots of features...

but one strange thing... when doing a datawipe for a fresh flash, it seemed to say it was wiping the ext part too? that was annoying, thank god I did a nandroid that included my ext part in the backup. :-\

the most annoying thing about that was when i flashed the Cyanogen rom, none of my apps on ext were there (obviously), so wondering, how the hell can i access the ext part for backing up apps before wiping?
[Hero CDMA General] gorbisloth:
Titanium backup is your friend. It'll back up your apps and their data. It might cause some issues if you are going to a different ROM when restoring the data though. You can try it at least. It's a fantastic little app.
[Hero CDMA General] kingdazy:
that seems to be a fave 'round these parts, but i have heard of a few issues, like you mentioned...

usually I use Astro from app backup/restore. works, but kinda a PITA.

BUT! I just discovered something ****ing cool about clockwork...

since I did a nandroid that Included my ext part... when i went to install a new rom for SnG (****s n giggles), well the first time I had lost my ext part apps because clockwork wipes it, but then i poked around in the restore options, under advanced restore, it gives me the option of restoring a ext part from a previous nandroid, separately from the rest of that specific backup!

so, in short, what I am testing right now:

1) data wipe (inc ext part) with clockwork.

2) flash of Cyanogen RC1 (flashing a few fixes like VVM and kernel as well)

3) then "restoring" the ext part Only from a previous nandroid backup, hopefully restoring all of my apps...?

booting up right now, results in a few mins. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] kingdazy:
lol, just realized something obvious...

2.2 (cyanogen RC1) uses a Native a2sd method, not DTs method.... crap, lol.

so next thing is to flash that Darktremmor fix, then see if my apps show? or... anyone got an idea to transfer from ext part to the native method?

EDIT: well, that didnt work, stuck on bootscreen. fug.
[Hero CDMA General] kingdazy:
OK, so I have decided I am Not a fan of Clockwork recovery... no, sir,.

Could someone point me to a "better" recovery? Like for DLing, perhaps a quick tut on flashing a new recovery image?

Please? :p
[Hero CDMA General] Ezintn:
great "quick tut" on the Unlocker site, but I can't post links....

my fav. has been the "unofficial RA" Darch 1.7something, I renamed it "rad" for easy term. typing, so I can't remember the exact name, originally got it from link on Buufed thread.

currently using Darch's Godspeed, it's ok, agree about Clockwork, don't like it.

so what good is Rom Mngr if you don't use Clockwork? sure, it's a shortcut to recovery, but that's all, and I've got Quick Boot for that, any reason not to get rid of Rom Mngr?
[Hero CDMA General] markus_del_marko:
i personally do not like clockwork at all.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] STraver:
Hi Team

Now I've bought and downloaded some apps. How do I back them up so when I flash a new ROM I can reinstall them? Thanks!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] grizlore:
brought apps will be remember when your login to the Market via your google account

Also, sync your apps with AppBrain and that should remember free apps
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Bizzach:
I use Astro File Manager (free in the Market)... under settings>tools there's an app backup. Just back them all up, then when you get the new ROM, download Astro again and do a restore. :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] samstables:
AppBrain is great too. Plus you can find new apps from your pc
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] STraver:
Apps backup

Thanks everyone!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] gaijin2:
I use Titanium Backup, great to do that job, and also backup your settings. The time you spend is not on re-installing your apps, but in the configuration...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] spences10:
I use myBackup Pro

Its a paid app, there is a lite version but you can not schedule when you want to backup

Its great because it restores all your app data as well, so you dont have to go into each app and 'log in' again and you wont lose your save games either
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] wezknowles:
+1 for Titanium Backup! Essential app.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Charles::
I used Titanium when I flashed from 2.1 to 2.2, and even though it remembered all my apps, everytime I opened one, it would force close, so I ended up re-installing them all.

Any ideas why it didn't work?

[Captivate General] Fishbait:
Hey all,

I'm going from the Eclair I9000 ROM back to stock, and then to Unleash the Beast 0.2. I'm back to the stock build (JF6), and am now trying to run update.zip from the root of the internal SD. Problem is, I cannot figure out how to boot into recovery mode to save my life.

I've searched for a couple hours, and came upon one thread that described the exact same problem, but said that a reflash using Odin one-click worked. I'm not so lucky.

I successfully ran the one-click Odin3 tool, but I'm still pretty sure my Captivate thinks it's an I9000, and is looking for me to press a non-existant home key to get into recovery mode. Any suggestions on how to get into recovery mode? I've tried every variation of your standard Vol up + Vol down + Power.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate General] J4CC3B:
Is the i9000 boot screen still come up before the att screen?
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
I'm not sure if you figured this out already but while your phone is off, simply press the volume up, volume down, and power buttons. Once you see the AT&T logo let go of the power button while keeping your fingers pressed down on the volume buttons. Keep the volume buttons held down until you see the recovery menu. Once there, (assuming you've already placed an update.zip file on your internal SD card) select Reinstall Packages and away you go!
[Captivate General] Pinepig:
Mine did that after I installed the I9000 rom, to fix it I used the one click odin but before clicking start to go back to stock I used the master clear button and let it run for a couple of minutes, even though it never got off the "starting master clear" in the script window it did the trick. I don't have the I9000 boot screen anymore and the normal button combo now works.

If you can't get anywhere doing this you can always use the batch files from SDK tools, just use the reboot into recovery one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hennymugge:
Not working properly.

Temporary fix:

Connect the phone to your computer and type:

adb tcpip 5555

then:

adb connect ipaddressdevice:5555

If someone could help me out with pointing me out how to execute a script properly on boot, I would be very happy!

The script that has to boot is:

#!/system/bin/sh

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555;
stop adbd;
start adbd;

Hello all, I'd like to share the following with you.

Ever got tired of the need to connect your phone to your computer in order to use adb?

Well, I did, and so I googled a little and found out that you can access your phone through tcp/ip, but... In order to get that working, you still needed to connect the phone and run a command to be able to do that.

But not anymore! Just flash the update.zip attached to this post, reboot your phone, and type in your shell:

adb connect your.ip.address:5555

So with my phone it would be like:

adb connect 192.168.2.115:5555

Now when you type "adb devices" it should wirelessly list your phone and you can execute all commands just if your phone were physically connected to your PC.

Tested on FroydVillain1.2.2. Please report back when tested on other ROMs. But as far as I know, this should work on all roms/android devices.

To make things easier, you could set up a static IP address.

Credits to "k0rner" for anwsering my question about running commands on boot.

Devs: it would be great to add this to ROMs by default. It really is just 1 single command on boot to enable this!

Edit: you could make a batch script to execute the previously mentioned command on windows. Just paste the command in notepad, and save as name.bat. Just makes things easier! When you wanna do this you really should set up a static IP in your phone though.

Edit2: Repacked&Resigned.

3) Unplug USB cable

4) Type "adb connect <phones ip address>:5555"

To go back to USB mode type ""adb usb"

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hennymugge:
Thats a temporary fix indeed, but after rebooting your phone, you'll need to do it again.

Thats why I made a startup script for it, but I just cant get the script executed on boot.

If someone has a solution, dont hestitate!

The command that has to be executed on boot is:

#!/system/bin/sh

setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555;

You can implement that using 2 methods:

either add a script in /system/etc/init.d (provided you have busybox and run-parts in your initrd)

or

add the script directly into your initrc

Does anyone else ever have this issue? I have zero signal (blue 'No Symbol') and the only way I can seem to get it back is with a reset. I went outside and walked around for a few minutes with no change. Once I did the reset I got a 3G signal. Is there any other way to remedy this without resetting?

I searched around the forums and on Google, so if this has already been asked I apologize.

Can you post a link to the ad, please?
[EVO 4G General] nukedukem:
You can't say it's an invalid method just because you don't understand how it works. Sprint owns Boost, and because Boost phones use Sprint's network, Sprint has all Boost phone esn's in it's database.

However, with that being said, I've done some more research and it looks like only phones that work on "legacy plans" can be ported to Boost. That means all new phones that require the "Everything Whatever" plans cannot be switched to a "legacy" plan, as all Boost services are considered "legacy" by the Sprint database. This is hard coded into the system and new esn's will automatically be rejected.

It looks like the only way to get your EVO on Boost is by cloning the esn of a Boost CDMA phone. You probably won't get much help here for that because it's illegal.

[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
Way to bring a thread that's been dead for three months back to life, so I'll just leave this here in hopes that we won't see anymore of these "help me get my evo working on boost mobile" threads.

The process to get an evo working on boost mobile invloves cloning esn's. And it doesn't matter if it's your own esn or not - the FCC sees this as a federal offense, and nobody on XDA should assist with this in any way.

This is what the FCC has to say about it;

Fraud

Cellular fraud is defined as the unauthorized use, tampering, or manipulation of a cellular phone or service. Cellular industry estimates indicate that carriers lose millions per year to cellular fraud, with the principal cause being subscription fraud. Subscriber fraud occurs when a subscriber signs up for service with fraudulently obtained customer information or false identification.

In the past, cloning of cellular phones was a major concern. A cloned cellular telephone is one that has been reprogrammed to transmit the electronic serial number (ESN) and telephone number (MIN) belonging to another (legitimate) cellular telephone. Unscrupulous persons obtain valid ESN/MIN combinations by illegally monitoring the transmissions from the cellular telephones of legitimate subscribers. Each cellular telephone is supposed to have a unique factory-set ESN. After cloning, however, because both cellular telephones have the same ESN/MIN combination, cellular systems cannot distinguish the cloned cellular telephone from the legitimate one.

The Commission considers any knowing use of cellular telephone with an altered ESN to be a violation of the Communications Act (Section 301) and alteration of the ESN in a cellular telephone to be assisting in such violation. The Wireless Telephone Protection Act (Public Law 105-172) was signed into law on April 24, 1998, expanding the prior law to criminalize the use, possession, manufacture or sale of cloning hardware or software. The cellular equipment manufacturing industry has deployed authentication systems that have proven to be a very effective countermeasure to cloning. Authentication supplements the use of the ESN and MIN with a changing encrypted code that can not be obtained by off-the-air monitoring.
