how to create a ext4 with ClockworkMod Recovery?
[Desire Android Development] colonia27:
you don't. Use gparted or something
[Desire Android Development] mastersjef:
Anyone has the CWM 2.5.1.8 the blue one, the zip only not the img T.I.A.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I have a copy in my signature, but it's the flashable img trough fastboot... as usual, if not I've really not understood what are you looking for :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] mastersjef:
The update.zip one not the flashable one, that i had already from your sig.
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
I don't have sorry, never used... I suppose you need for fake flash... hmm... just stay with regular blue one till new scripting way is diffused enough, then upgrade to the orange one (3.0.x)

the blue one works perfectly & above all soon all dev will be forced to move on :D

Using cmw 3.0.0.5 fake flash

I noticed that when i do a backup the sd-ext partition is not backed up......

This is a big problem!!

Using InsertCoin 1.8h rom (a2sd+ with ext3 partition)
[Desire Android Development] MeX_DK:
Should I stick with 2.5.0.7 or update mine to 3.0.0.5?

I got the regular Desire from from HTC, updated to the "last"? update ending with 405.5.

The reason I am asking is because I try to keep all the software on my phone patched and updated. If 3.0.0.5 is definantly working and supported on a non gingerbread rom then I might consider updating unless their are any real or good reason why I shouldn't :)

So share away.
[Desire Android Development] spitjo:
I suggest u to keep 2.5.0.7 cause 3.0.0.5 support edify scripts only (not all zips use that syntax) and can't backup sd-ext partition when u do a nandroid
[Desire Android Development] MeX_DK:
What about; 2.5.1.8 or 2.5.1.2?, or do they suffer from the same issue?
[Desire Android Development] spitjo:
I never tried those versions. Sorry
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
3.0.0.5-r2 work perfectly with sd-ext partition ;)
[Desire Android Development] pmkrmr:
I'm S-ON and I have Amon RA recovery, used unrevoked to put the custom AmonRA2.0 .img recovery on my phone.

When I fake flash the 3.0.0.5 clockworkmod with my Amon RA 2.0, it installs and I inmediatly come in the new clockworkmod menu. I can do everything from there, but when I reboot my phone again in recovery I will get in Amon RA 2.0 again.

very strange. Do I now have 2 recoveries installed somewhere on my phone? and does it automaticly prefer Amon RA? Or is clockworkmod never installed and am i sort of temporary in this recovery after flashin it with Amon RA?
[Desire Android Development] :
I'm s off and I flashed through fastboot works better then amon ra 2.0.1 so far not one issue have restored CM 7 a number of times the only thing is its not yet compatable with rom manager shows I have cwm 2.5.0.7 ?

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] stfone:
Where did you read that ? My Desire runs CWM 2.5.1.8 and I installed Oxygen 2.0 (2.3.2). No problem to backup and restore ...
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
You are S-on, if you want a permanent new recovery partition, you should use unrevoked or s-off and use fastboot flash recovery [recovery.img] You only have a recovery partition, and in your case its AmonRA 2.0. When you try install clockworkmod through AmonRa, this only boot your phone with your clockworkmod image, but dont write this on recovery partition

From Cyanogenmod Team. ITs sure that 3.x will be mandatory on some point, but maybe not for all CM7 roms/models. Read this -> http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum-45/announcement-5-cm7-nightlies/
[Desire Android Development] spitjo:
You can answer yourself. When you say flashed amonra and FAKE flashed cwm....

You permanent recovery is amonra. Cwm is only an update.zip placed on the root of your sd card that is fake flashed by amonra to load cwm
[Desire Android Development] pmkrmr:
thanks. needed a confirmation wanted to be sure im not screwing with recovery s here.
[Desire Android Development] js931:
i just tried the new clockworkmod version (3...) and noticed a new menu entry:

- "apply update from sd"

whats the difference here between the "apply zip from sd"?
[Desire Android Development] shav4life:
just wanted to say I just used the usb mount functionality on clockworkmod 2.5.07, my sd card could no longer be read by the phone, fastboot oem thing fixed it.

EDIT: I just checked and my pc couldn't recognize the phone so had to do the usb brick fix.
[Desire Android Development] vatovec:
Flashed with fastboot commander very quickly and I have now ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 :-)
[Desire Android Development] vadbess:
But ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 not to backup "sd-ext"
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Sorry but 3.0.0.5-r3 work perfectly with sd-ext
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Correct because the 3.0.0.5-r3 is fixed by Kali-, and not come from this thread! ;)
[Desire Android Development] tompok82:
Flashing radio is no longer possible with CWM 3.0.0.5.

Why?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Old scripts in radio zip.
[Desire Android Development] tompok82:
So how do I fix this?
[Desire Android Development] penguinolog:
fastboot flash ...

It works correct with any recovery :)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Or use fakeflash, if you're still s-on.
[Desire Android Development] comfy:
How do you downgrade your clockworkmod?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
fake flash (tempoparily) or fastboot flash (permanently)
[Desire Android Development] vadbess:
what is wrong? I made backup in 3.0.0.5r3 (fastboot flash) and want to restore, but my phone is stop in bootsplash, when I restore in 2.0.0.5 all is good?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Taken from here.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
You've installed 3.* just as a new version of CWM or there was the reason to do so? If you don't really need 3.* features, you should return to 2.*. 2.5.0.7 is very good.
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
Is the 2.5.07 version posted in the first post bug free? I'm thinking of downgrading to that version.

[Desire Android Development] niksha89:
should i stick to 2.5.0.7 or flash 2.5.1.8? are there any improvements worth it?

i dont want version 3 because you cant flash radios and some other zips due to old scripts
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
2.5.0.7 is good enough.
[Desire Android Development] YodaDaCoda:
Sorry to post this here, and I don't mean to hijack the thread but I've searched everywhere and can't find r3 anywhere. Can someone tell me where to get it?

Yes, but only for those devices that use ext4. The Bravo is not one of those devices.
[Desire Android Development] Glotzeulor:
It is in the second post of the CM7 thread.
[Desire Android Development] router_sw:
tnx for updating bro
[Desire Android Development] AzureusPT:
Does anyone know where I can get r3 as update.zip instead of a flashable image?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] Fieser-Kardinal:
Can anybody confirm that 3.0.0.5-r3 is working fine?
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Confirming :)
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Has anyone else noticed backups are not as reliable on 3.0.0.5-r3?, on 2.5.07 i had no problems with restoring backups but 3.0.0.5-r3 has restored corrupted backups on several occasions for me, the backups boot up but have issues with multiple FC's or are simply not a copy of the system i backedup
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
I had that too, also with the one flashed from alpharev 2.5.0.8..

Now im with 2.5.0.7..The perfect one :)

The problem is that no one take care anymore of our desire recoveries and make some proper tests, like koush int the past...
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Ok thanks for confirming, it's not a major issue as i normally have several backups of the current CM7 nightly with at least one confirmed as OK, but obviously until i confirm the backup is OK by restoring i ain't got a clue. I do have 2.5.0.7 as the update zip so maybe all future backups will be done with that;)
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
Udk has an r1 on his Rom thread.

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] ziggy1001:
Wouldn't r1 be 2 versions earlier than r3?
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:
I am presuming that Udk has an r1 which is on his thread, and the r3 your referring to, is Kali's from them nightly thread.

Desire is the source of all suffering.

How do I fake flash
[Desire Android Development] skuum:
Need help..

Im trying to install InsertCoin ROM but theres no option to EXT partition.

Im using CWM v2.5.0.7 and im currently in it.

Guess this option is not on my version so i need to update right?

Should i just upload the zip file and flash it and reboot?

I currently have no rom installed atm
[Desire Android Development] adizz131:
Installation for S-ON users

This is how i did it...

(S-ON DESIRE)

Download the .img file

Download Unrevoked

Open Unrevoked

In Uunrevoked click file, then custom recovery and select the .img file

Plug phone into usb with debugging enabled

Run Unrevoked

Done! :)
[Desire Android Development] angusc:
I have CWM-AlphaRev Recovery v2.5.1.8 and Im noticing that all my Back-ups do not seem to recover my system. I do frequesnt NANDROID back ups before flashing themes and the like, but if the flash of a theme goes wrong and i recover my NANDROID back-up i only seem to recover the basic ANDROID operating system and not all the HTC Sense stuff. my apps are present but only the Android 3 x buttons and the phone module does not work........

IS this due to the CWM Recovery version that I'm using and do / should I revert back to the 2.5.0.7 version? If so how do I revert back to 2.5.0.7.

I'm S-Off with Alpharev and also runnin the AuraXTSense ROM.....

EDIT: I used ROM Manager to download version 2.5.0.7 as a update.zip which it copied ot the sdcard root. i then went in to recovery to flash the update.zip and it seemed to work as my old v2.5.1.8 BLUE CWM recovery menu changed to the v2.5.0.7 GREEN version and then i rebooted. But then when i went back in to Recovery it was back to the BLUE v2.5.1.8 again....Ggggrrrrrrr!!

Thanx for any guidance.
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
See a dozen or 2 posts above

I posted my CWM 2.5.0.7
[Desire Android Development] angusc:
I read through the post, so in essence your answer is that YES i need to flash back to the version 2.5.0.7?
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
Correct.

Get it here

I had similar issues with 2.5.1.8
[Desire Android Development] studiorat:
be careful and Don't Bother most ROMs are not compatible with Clockwork Mods new version they got rid of the compatibility feature claiming that it was a necessary to remove it that's a crock IMHO because those of us that are running older roms and aren't android saavy as these guys, the rest of us can't switch rom's now since the 3.0 update of CWM i have been stuck with this ROM and every time i try to install another one it comes back with installation aborted, and forget trying to update from rom manager because RM doesn't support the older format it seems...I have sent Koush probably a million messages on xda or his site and never get a response....so its your choice personally its a bad choice to use CWM
[Desire Android Development] AlxMAX:
What message do you get precisely?
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I see in your signature... CWM 3.0.2.4... where have you found it? :eek:
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
On my Desire...

3.0.0.5-r3 do a correct Backup, but don't do a correct SdExt restore... :o

So i always use 3.0.0.5-r3 for updates/backups, but for the restore i run the old 2.5.0.7 from adb... :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
I build it myself :P

Tonight will build the latest version from here https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/commits/gingerbread
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Have you do all good? :p:D

is it "double" script (old and new google script)?

Have you merge new recovery 3.0.0.5 backup with old 2.5.0.7 restore of SDEXT? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
The fix about the sd-ext backup was already committed by kali.

about the script only the new one is supported (google leaved the old one with android 1.5, dont forget this)
[Desire Android Development] spooky75:
Am I right and 3.0.0.5-r3 is still the latest and best one for CM7?
[Desire Android Development] t-c:
deleted...............
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Well, i am using this version 3.0.0.5-r3 -> 2nd post, but it don't do a correct sdext restore... :(

So i use the old 2.5.0.7 to do it... :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Why don't you use 2.5.0.7 for everything? (:
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Because... some zip package now use the new Google scrips...

So you "need" a recovery that can use it... :rolleyes:
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
You wrong :D

Old recovery can use old and new scripts

New recovery only can use new scripts

So you can use old recovery for everything
[Desire Android Development] Zeljko1234:
If it's true, why should we upgrade to new version?
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
That is true. Try ur self

The new version just have some other functions derived from the google gingerbread recovery source code, but these functions are not needed at all at the moment (like the new recovery support setting label on a partition)..Maybe someone else can give u more explanations
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I can not check again because I have the Desire to repair (for restarts due to bugs in the temperature sensor) ... :o

From memory, I had just stumbled across the message "The script is no longer supported" ...

For that i used the 3.0.0.5-r3 ... (even if it has the problem of restoring sdext) :)

Happen, hopefully, next week when the phone should be back from repair ... :)
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
"The script is no longer supported" that in the 3.x recovery when u use an old script
[Desire Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Actually I still use 2.5.0.7 ;)
[Desire Android Development] Golomidov:
Hi, guys! Couldn't find an answer anywhere, does latest (3.0.0.5) cwm nandroid backup backup everything in data2ext roms? In theory, at least.
[Desire Android Development] Terepin:
No recovery is backing up both ext partitions, only first one.
[Desire Android Development] KroonBerg:
Weird, it works perfectly for me..
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
I have just taken over the phone from assistance ... :D

has changed the IMEI number, then i assume you have replaced the mainboard ...

After the root, the s-off and a full wipe, i tried to do a full restore with 3.0.0.5-r3 ...

everything seems ok but after reboot i still got errors ... :rolleyes:

So i redid a full wipe and restore with CWM 2.5.0.7... all done... all apps and setting as before assistance.
[Desire Android Development] PegHorse:
I installed this Recovery => Ok

I replaced permanent with this recovery to Rom Manager 4.1.0... bah the only thing now i can do with ROM Manager is to go to Recovery...

Flashing, or anything else doesn't work anymore including the Backup...

BUT if i go manually to this Recovery i can do anything i wants, so my guess is Rom Manager seems not be compatible :/

HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
Ok well this is a little strange :/

I flashed the .zip for the new recovery.. and it said that it was v3.xxx.. except when I restarted the phone again, and went into ROM Manager, it said I still had 2.5xxx, and when I went back into recovery, it was infact 2.5xxx.

So my question to you is - did I do something wrong? :confused:
[Desire Android Development] Eradorius:
You flashed it temporary (via recovery), to flash it permanently you need to do it via fastboot (so you need to be S-Off).

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
Ahh that's ghey mines S-ON. I can't be arsed for that, I'm not that knoledgable with it anyway so I'd have to research it and everything hehe. Is there any real need to update recovery anyway? I know you need it for CM nightlies but otherwise..?

EDIT: Okay, I am now S-OFF (Used AlphaRev's .iso) - do I install the new recovery the same way?
[Desire Android Development] steph_htc:
To install the recovery you can have a look to this thread

[Desire Android Development] bortak:
woo I did it :D Thx guys #feeling of self accomplishment#

EDIT: Okay I obviously didn't do it LOL - I think I give up for now

EDIT: Well yeah apparently I did install it using fastboot, but again when I restarted my phone ROM Manager again told me I have recovery 2.5xx on and indeed I do. I am such a FAIL sometimes. Good thing I'm a quick learner :L
[Desire Android Development] spooky75:
I guess ROM Manager always loads temporary recovery which is just a zip file in the root directory of your sd card.

So it loads 2.5.x.x even if your have 3.0.0.5 installed permanently.
[Desire Android Development] bortak:
I have an idea. in the clockworkmod folder there is a file called "recovery-update.zip".. I'm guessing that's the 2.5.x.x one, so if I replace that with the 3.x.x.x then flash recovery in fastboot, in theory it should stay with 3.x.x.x right?

EDIT: Nope that didn't work either.

EDIT: okay. I now have recovery v3.0.0.5, even though ROM Manager sais otherwise. Win.
[Desire Android Development] beerente:
Problem?

I don't get it. When I flash LeeDroid 3.03 is takes more then 15min on the splash screen. It's not getting past it. That is not correct is it?

Reformatted SD-Card, Flashed EXT3 alignment file before flashing ROM, Tried different HBOOTs, nothing helps.

Am I missing something?

It's just stuck on bootloop, just format data, system boot & cache and install again. Should work - always has for me, if not then it's beyond my knowledge.

3.0.0.5 doesnt work for me

hey guys,

postet elsewhere already. i flashed the new recovery via fastboot an tried a backup. when restoring it, cwm tells me that sd-ext.img could not be found. result: rom is messed up/doesnt work proberly anymore. 2.5.0.7 worked perfectly so far.

setup: desire s-off, radio: 5.14.05.17 1gb ext3

i must admit, i didnt read through the whole thread.
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
What do you want to hear? Use rock solid 2.5.0.7, if you need something special from 3.* - use fakeflash method.
[Desire Android Development] veitograf:
ok, i thought i read that its better to have 3.xxx for gingerbread roms.

but i guess i just 2.5.0.7 until 3.xxx work solid.

Can't flash radio for some reason. Said it needed to remove scripts or something.

Ok so i changed to 2.5.0.7 but when i tried to flash a radio it said that there wassn't enough space or something.

Probably cache partition is too small (cm7 hboot?). Use fastboot then.

cwm 3.0.2.7

Today i have tested it and i (probably unlucky) have the same issue on restore, as with cwm 3.0.0.5-r3... :o

It do a correct full backup without any kind of problem. :)

But after restore and reboot, i receive a lot of apps's errors after insertion of pin. :o

So, i restore with old cwm 2.5.0.7 and the restored backup is full working. ;)

You have to flash the .img via Fastboot if your S-Off or use Unrevoked again and select Custom Recovery -> select the .img File.

Ok Thanks.. ill give it a go.. how do i install it anyways.. can it be done with rom manager?
[Desire Android Development] angusc:
First you had better check that it is compatible with CMDA phones!!!!!

Then you just need to ADB it from your "androidsdk/tools" folder to the device in fastboot mode. instructions are on the first post of that thread.....works really well and if you have ADB set up on your pc already then easy to push it to your device.

I have version 3.0.2.5 installed right now. It's worth the effort to upgrade to 3.0.0.5?

If it is what's the easiest way to upgrade? From ROM Manager? and will it affect my root?
[Desire Android Development] horst0815:
ditch rom manager, piece of crap...

easiest way of updating recovery is fastboot

fastboot erase recovery --> this will kill your actual recovery

fastboot flash recovery insert_name_of_your_recovery_here.img --> this is your NEW recovery.

duration: 20 seconds max.

and no, it doesn't affect your root.

And the only way if he doesn't intend on rooting again with custom recovery.

what can i do?
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
the triangle is stock recovery, when you see this screen press volup+power and it will boot to the blue recovery screen.

you are either using the old fakeflash version of rooting which is outdated now

or you are not rooted at all
