I also

do not want

to offend the op in any way.

I really appreciate the work and dedication of members of the XDA.

In fact, i tried the 2.5.1.2 and I had the usb-brick the device, luckily the other members of XDA have published the solution.

Now I tested 2.5.1.8 and I found a bug in recovery, thankfully saving is not corrupt and can be restored with the 2.5.0.7.

I also apologize if I in my post I may have inadvertently offended someone.

p.s.

What problems have you had with version 3?

Where did you get it for Desire?
[Desire Android Development] lilnev:
Heh. Thanks a lot for this thread.

I rooted my Desire in the very very beginning with the first rooting kit that came out on Modaco. For some reason everytime I booted the phone with 'hold back button and power' it brought me to the bootloader screen (as it should), but then when selecting 'recovery' in the menu it would bring up a screen with a ! sign. When this sign appeared I had to run a script called ./recovery-mac.sh which would then actually bring me to the real recovery screen.

After reading this thread I decided to flash the img through fastboot, which I did and it fixed the problem.

I can now boot into 'recovery' without using the script.

thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It was posted here a couple of posts before yours..on the same page. The binary has been pulled from the page now though. Maybe somone else noticed some bugs too, or maybe it wasnt even meant for the Desire! It was tagged bravo though. But neither udk/cyanogen/koush posted it on their ftps. V3 failed to restore my sd-ext. I've logged the bug in my post on the same page. And v2.5.1.8 would not mount my ext (would only mount fat32) in the usb-mount option in 'Mounts'

I'm "trying" to compile the latest version myself..Found some more eager people at www.droidforums.net
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Latest official version of CWM 2 is 2.6.0.1. This brand will be no longer maintained!

Latest official version of CWM 3 is 3.0.0.4. This version is required for Gingerbread and will be required for CM7!

Info: http://twitter.com/clockworkmod/status/21321148293718016

Note: Newest enrEVOked is using CWM 3.0.0.4, so be careful what you are doing. Be sure to notify devs of your favorite ROMs. ;)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I see the tweet, but can you give a link to the latest 3.0.0.4 binary? And is this Gingerbread only, or does it have Froyo support too?
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
It doesn't depend on Android version, but on ROM package script are DEVS using.

You can find last all versions here.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Indeed. :)

I've been monitoring that page for long, but you'll notice that the binary for bravo is 2.5.0.7 at the most. Others arent for the Desire.

I only want this recover for SD partitioning will it still give me usb brick
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I have had the usb-brick with only the 2.5.1.2 ...

The 2.5.1.8 gave me problems to recover from the image-backup (but however it has done a correct image-backup)

If you want use it only for backup / restore, i recommend you to the last official 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] Nitin985:
So if I flash the file, part SD card ,reboot recovery I will be back to 2.5.0.7 so the restore backup will work and ill have an ext3 partition
[Desire Android Development] [armitage]:
Uhm,let me get this right...

Basically all clockwork version above 2.5.0.7,have some sort of problems?

Either they F up the USB or they have problems restoring backups?

I have a pvt4 erasesize 40k device and I'm using the 2.5.1.3 version.

Does this version have any known problems aswell?

If yes,can I switch to amonra v.2,or doesn't amonra support my kind of desire version yet?

Little help... :)
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I only had tryed the 2.5.1.2 and 2.5.1.8, both gave me a little problem. :rolleyes:

I don't know... where did you get it?

For my Desire GSM i have found AmorRa 2.0.1 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9447821&postcount=152

i don't know if it is full compatible with your Desire...

that is full working on my desire, but the two backups AmonRa-CWM are incompatible...

So, you can't do a backup with one, and restore with other one..

What I appreciate is the AmonRa ability to convert ext to ext2 and ext3, and the "fix ext partition" in case of error.

But however i like most CWMR (example the apply update.zip function) :)

backup and restore/usb brick

Hello everyone, I wanted to report what happened with me and all the recovery that is amonra clockworck, you can not make a fully functional backup "ext package of HD ROM. Regarding recovey amon ra with no problem version 2.0 official, while all official clockwork and I had no problems with usb-brick. (AMOLED desire gsm). Is there any solution? thanks in advance.:o
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
I S-OFF my desire with alpharev 1.8 and I accepted to flash the new CWM 2.5.1.8 also.

All seems work good (backup + restore)

So now reading this thread seems some people have problems, is better and safe flash the good 'old' CWM 2.5.07 to avoid future problems? Any advice please?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Have you followed this procedure?

- do a full backup.

- enable usb, then copy the restore folder on pc

- a full wipe of the device: Boot/ext/sd/...

(here i flashed another rom for testing, then i wipe all)

- enable usb, then copy the restore folder from sd

- do a full restore

The 2.5.1.8 gave me errors after boot, when the device load last app, and loops request of pin... :(

Fortunately 2.5.0.7 has successfully restored my backup.

Last question :)

Do you have a lot of app in ext partition (App2ext)?

This is maybe my source of problem with 2.5.1.8 :confused:

Might be a little bug in the restore of the ext app? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
I did about the same of you, except flash an other rom (and move the backup on the pc), I did a mistake modding my rom, so wiped all and restored the backup..I have about 60 apps ont the ext..Anyway Im scared from ur experience..I hope was just a particular case :)
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Well ... I think I'm unlucky ... :rolleyes:

or it could be a remnant of the USB-brick that I had with the 2.5.1.2 ... :o

waiting for some other confirmation or denial on 2.5.1.8 ...

I keep my 2.5.0.7 :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] [armitage]:
Thanks... I already heard that backups made with clockwork aren't compatible to amonra and the other way around.the version I'm using was specially made for pvt 4 erasesize 40k devices.so far I always thought that I could make a backup with this version and be on the save side,but now I'm not so sure anymore...

I guess the best thing I actually can do is wait for the next official version of either amonra or clockwork and not restore a backup till then.unless somebody already tested the mentioned cwm,or latest amonra ,version without having any problems.

Anyone...? :-)
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I do not know if your version is fully functional and free of bugs ... :)

If yours is the last official for your device, should be widely tested and working. :rolleyes:

The unofficial versions, maybe alpha and beta, it's easy to contain some minor bug...

otherwise ... would be official-final version... :p

[Desire Android Development] maximus1965:
Is this recovery compatible with the PVT4 40000 devices ?
[Desire Android Development] bboyrazor:
if i fastboot flash it will it work fine and not damage my phone with bravo-recovery-v1.5.3-CustomMTD.zip from http://xdaforums.com/show...68&postcount=1 ?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I'd like to know that too.

Does it disrupt custom MTD partition?

Edit: Just tested it out.

It wont backup /system if working on MTD hack.

Error code "Cant mount /system"

Not surprising since flashing a new CWM is the method to remove custom MTD partitions.
[Desire Android Development] santanah:
Hi guys,

I need your help!

I rooted my phone half a year ago with unrevoked and still have ClockwordMod 2.5.0.7 installed. I GOT S-ON!

Can I upgrade to 3.0.0.5 easily when I type the following in terminal emulator app ?

su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.zip

Why is this Zip called FakeFlash ?? Whats the benefit of security-off?

ciao
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
In the way as RA-recovery: fat32, ext2, ext3, ext4 and swap?
[Desire Android Development] bboyrazor:
thanks

guess ill have to start with a fresh installed rom and maybe a oxygen hboot instead of the custom partitions
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Yes.

It's labelled "Format sd-card, sd-ext"

Not sure about swap. Have you created a swap partition?

Or do you mean Cache?
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Swap is not necessary to me anymore. I just need ability to format my SD card to fat32 + ext4 through recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Then CWM is definitely for you. :)

Formatting has been in CWM since ages.
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
Another question: Can CWM mount my SD card as USB-MS?
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Same answer: Definitely :D
[Desire Android Development] Pnaky:
Is there some restriction for installation ROM based on FroYo? Recovery annouced me some information about support installation only for Gingerbread.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
It supports Gingerbread. Doesnt mean it has lost support for Froyo.

Just restored a Nandroid backup I made on Leedroid..works just fine.
[Desire Android Development] Pnaky:
Im not succesful as you :( I tried update my ROM Alex-v and Recovery aborted my installation. I must made downgrade to Clockwork 2+ and its worked fine.
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
And what ext is using? It just ask me for size of ext partition, but it doesn't ask which ext partition I want.

EDIT: So it's ext3, without option to upgrade it to ext4. Hmm...
[Desire Android Development] scienty:
Flashed with unrevoked 3, so far so good no issues. Thanks

Can anyone answer this?
[Desire Android Development] reef2009:
--deleted--
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
nope, i wasn't brave enough to do that ;)

i backup up with 3.0.0.5 and restored it afterwards
[Desire Android Development] Rumball:
You mean apart from the changelog in the first post that provides the changes added in today's release? ;)
[Desire Android Development] Narfx:
So, does 3.0.0.x support the custom MTD partitions patch? =)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Maybe that's the answer?
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Us older folks remember when the amber monitors were a big breakthrough!
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
it's not that i don't know these monitors anymore, but i was accustomed to the green. no big deal anyway, at least for me. it's not the color, that matters :D
[Desire Android Development] Nitrius:
As i got S-OFF (Oxygen hboot) i think i should be able to flash this recovery with fastboot?

But am a bit unsure on what the command for flashing the recovery with fastboot is, so could anyone type it down for me? It's probably something along the line of: fastboot flash recovery filename?

Could probably just try it out, but i want to have some confirmation first before i maybe do something stupid or not.
[Desire Android Development] b0ng0:
I know this is probably a silly question, but I rooted using Unrevoked and think I have Clockwork Mod installed on my phone. Is this the same thing? (I also noticed that ROM Manager has the option to flash the latest Clockwork Recovery Mod - is that the easiest way?)

Thanks.
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
in fastboot:

fastboot erase recovery (ENTER) --> this deletes the recovery on your phone

fastboot flash recovery <blablabla.img> (ENTER) --> new recovery gets written
[Desire Android Development] Nitrius:
Is it vital to do the erase recovery part first?

And thanks =)
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Just flashed 3.0.0.5 .img via fastboot, over 2.5.0.7 with alpharev N1 layout, and all good so far. Layout still good.

Have to admit haven't used it for what it's meant, but seems fully functioning.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
most likely its not needed, but i always do it, just to be sure the old thingie is gone before flashing the new one
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Will you use something for old-style update zips or you won't use them?
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
Just flashed 3.0.0.5 above recovery menu But after rebooting and back to recovery menu still have 2.5.0.7 - why? How can I flash this?

Red something with wrong image....

The same happend with ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.8 before...
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Via fastboot or via recovery?
[Desire Android Development] Hilarium:
any reason why i would want to update from 2507 to 3005?
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Erase is not necessary in my opinion.

In Ubuntu, I had to run fastboot as root, ie:

sudo fastboot flash recovery <blablabla.img>
[Desire Android Development] marinierb:
Nicer text color?
[Desire Android Development] takabriga:
restore backup+ext3

Hello, excuse the question but the backup that you restored with 3.0.0.5 has also restored the partition of your ext rom? right now because I've made a backup of my rom folder and the backup I have not seen anything concerning the partition ext ... but I have not had the courage to do a test restore...:p:p assured me that restores everything?:confused: also ext3 partition?:confused: thanks in advance ...:)
[Desire Android Development] chifteur:
I have see same like you. My backup with 3.0.0.5 have not sd-ext.img.

I think it's a bug !

But backup from RomManager use it another clockwork 2.5.0.7, I have sd-ext.img.
[Desire Android Development] scaeac:
This is not a offical version.
[Desire Android Development] crapula512:
Right. In case someone doesnt know the official (build by koush) can be found here:

http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
[Desire Android Development] sayhellohi:
I agree.

Only 2.5.0.7 is stable.

udK`s modified version makes usb bricked my phone over 5 times.
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Dunno about USB bricks. Never happened for me. But when i reboot to recovery with rom manager i still boot into 2.5.0.7 version so I'm going back again. Don't want to have backups from different versions.
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
you're ricght, just checked by myself, i also don't have that....

once again, back to 2507

Clockworkmod Recovery 3 Bug report

Someone had previously posted the prerelease version of v3 here, and I'd tested it and reported a bug, noting that there were errors were detected while working with sd-ext. I've now noted a similiar bug in the newly released version.

This version fails to backup sd-ext! Please see attached screenshot.

It cant be a problem with my system alone.

I'm on a S-OFF PVT4 Desire (Erasesize 2000), and installed Aurax 8.2 after a full wipe (+wipe of boot and system). V3 fails to backup sd-ext and reports that sd-ext backup is not found while restoring the backed up image.

Guys, someone please inform Koush, or whoever else is leading the development of Clockworkmod for the Desire, to run a full stress test before releasing a binary?

Others who have installed it, please confirm whether backup of sd-ext and restore of sd-ext works on your devices?

Edit: Didnt see that others had posted the same bug ahead of me!

See my post previously where I had reported the same!

Note below that CWM 3 fails to backup/restore sd-ext!

Note below good old 2.5.0.7 working flawlessly with sd-ext!

Since this version was posted by UDK, I thought he would have posted the one free of bugs, but apparently the same bug which plagued the initial versions has been carried over.

If someone posts a version of CWM, kindly do test it on a Desire before posting.

I tried compiling CWM myself and testing it on my phone, but there was an issue with downloading the repo, and I had to stop.
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
I'd like if only official releases where released here...

If not... they should be fully tested before release and fixed by the one who releases it.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
+1

To those who dont already know, the last version compiled and tested by Koush is 2.5.0.7.

@udk, I request you to take down the link to v3. Otherwise a lot of people are going to lose sd-ext from their backups.
[Desire Android Development] D3LTA:
I'm having the same issues.:confused: back to AmonRa.

Issues like this must be fixed before making it public in my opinion.
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
no offence but ALL builds from uDk had serious bugs, one version caused usb brick when you restored nandroid. recovery isn't a rom, you don't need to have the lastest version all time as long as the old does it's job. Updating can cause more bad than good
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Well, if that's the case I think he shouldn't resease anything?! Obviously he doesn't know how to do it right then...
[Desire Android Development] baadnewz:
well lets not be so aggressive. Since there are no other cwm versions compiled by someone else(only the one from alpharev 2.5.1.8 which is pretty modified from my understanding), its no so easy to point fingers. Can be an error in the source code, can be an error in the compilation process, can be a sum of the two. Only thing I can tell to udK is to test his builds better before releasing to the public.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Haven't used an update zip in forever.

Been happy as, flash rom.zip's.

Am worried about this sd-ext bug, will investigate.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Yeah... Wasn't ment to sound aggressive.

But yes, they should be tested properly before release. And now that we know that the latest isn't working properly it should be removed.
[Desire Android Development] D3LTA:
I totally agree with that...
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:
via recovery - don't know handling with fastboot ....:confused:
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Have you got s-off? BTW, people are reporting that 3.0.0.5 is no good.
[Desire Android Development] xwishmasterx:

EDIT:

[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:

[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
I did a backup with 3.0.0.5, said all parts were complete. Then tried to restore, all was going well, then was told the same as others that sd-ext failed to restore.

This left me in a works of pain at work this morning.

Was not even able to restore with an old backup from 2.5.0.7 with 3.0.0.5.

I was able to restore everything through 3.0.0.5, by using advanced restore, using a backup that I had done with 2.5.0.7, and restoring each part individually ie boot, system, cache etc.

And that got me back to my latest 2.5.0.7 backup which I did prior to flashing 3.0.0.5, which means for me I lost virtually nothing, but could have been alot worse.

Hope this is fixed soon.

Back to 2.5.0.7 for now.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Don't understand? Usb brick or sd-ext?

What is it?

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] lumich:
I am again back to AmonRA. I have also uninstalled the ROM manager and have delete the clockworkmod folder on the SD. However, it is provided every time newer clockworkmod folder. Then in it is the subdirectory "backup". Then there a file is in it with a few funny signs " lß. F°F " has the problem still somebody?
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I confirm, no sd-ext image is done with the 3.0.0.5...

I wanted to change uSD from 4GB C2 (original) to 8GB C4.

Before all, i have done a full backup with the 2.5.0.7 and then i save all (backup and SD card FAT file)

Then, i have flashed the 3.0.0.5 and done a full backup.

But it hasn't done the ext img backup.

So, i have reflash 2.5.0.7 and do the full restore...

All ok.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
so who is it ignoring the issues that have plagued all builds posted in this thread?

are you saying koush's builds are fine therefore the problem lies in your compile

or

are you saying koush is being ignorant to the problems plaguing the source code of his builds?

its apparent that these issues are not a one off and the 1st one you complilled was usb bricking devices which didnt get removed and should have been

if i had released it from source i would have removed it to save peoples devices and my own sanity rather than shift the blame on the source code

do yourself a favour and remove it, its bad, you're a ,mod - set example

Thanks in advance.
