I ment that you use Rom Manager, install the update.zip (fake flash recovery that u can dl within the app...first menu when u start Rom Manager, click/install).

Then when u flash a zip that uses the amend update script with Rom Manager... Rom Manager will reboot, start the fake flash, which is 2.5.0.7, and flash you file.

That works for me...
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
ROM Manager uses fakeflash method, and you can do it too by flashing 2.5.1.8.zip using 3.* recovery and until reboot you'll have 2.5.1.8 recovery. Simple enough? (:
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
Has the 3.0.0.5 r2 matured enough for daily use ?

And is is good to use for all Roms including sense ROMs? Or its gingerbread specific only
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
I dont know who that version worked for, but definitely not me. It skipped the backup of my ext4 partition.
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Works for me... the r2 version is fixed regarding the sd-ext backup issuie. I'm using cm 7...
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
k...I'll retry the link and if I see the same thing again, I will post a screenshot.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Oh damn..Just saw the posts about CWM3+ not supporting Amend..I'll just stick with my 2.5.0.7 then..I use Edify on my Rom, but I know a lot of devs who're still releasing Amend zips..
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
Yeah, that's true. Dev's should change to Edify tho ;) But all those things take time.

But as i also wrote, u can still use Amend update script if u flash with rom manager :)

Edit: But... i must say that the only reason I'm on 3.0.0.5-r2 is cuz I'm on CM7.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Nah...Hate fake flash...too constraining :D

Devs would change better if good documentation existed on Edify for Android..I've gone to a lot of pains to find them...But there's still very little material!
[Desire Android Development] remalifrank:
Τhnx guys.Vey much!!:)

I didnt know about CWM fakeflash method.

Its similar of fastboot comands between

fastboot boot recovery abc.recovery.img

and fastboot flash recovery abc.recovery.img ?

The first is temporary and the second permanent.

I test it with the 2 methonds -

flash 2.5.xx from rom manager

and apply update from CWM3 -

and it works .

Thnx again.
[Desire Android Development] DJ 1:
Hi, I`m on LeeDroid 2.3d A2SD+

S-ON

1GB Ext3

6.5GB Fat32

Ok, I used to use the nandroid recovery for `Back-up n Restore` in the past and was all fine. ( have recently flashed the CW-MOD v2.5.1.8)

seemed ok, until i tried to backup and Restore current ROM setup (as above)

once a restore is completed, it just gives multiple `Forced-Closes` on startup, then Bootloops at the Bios Emu screen.

I asked in the Leedroid thread, they say come in here, they think it might be to do with my recovery version not backing-up, or Restoring the Ext part of my setup properly ??

thanks.
[Desire Android Development] Sevennl:
On my Leedroid 2.3c i could not install programs when i use the clockwork 3.0.0.5

While everything is fine with 2.5.xx

Not sure which of them, the recovery img or the ROM causes the issue.

I run 2.3c because 2.3d gives me random reboots.
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
its because the new version only use edify script :)

with kind regards...Alex
[Desire Android Development] gutsbn:
Just had the same problem with 2 versions of Oxygen.

I fake flashed update-zip (to launch CWM 2.5.0.7) using the AlphRev 2.5.1.8 to restore.

I'll be fastbooting 2.5.0.7 tonight...
[Desire Android Development] mahmoudxcom:
i update the ClockworkMod Recovery to v3.0.0.5 but i will retrieve the old ver because it's not support amend script .
[Desire Android Development] DJ 1:
Is CWMod 2.5.0.7 ok with Ext back-up n restore ?

is that that problem?

thanks.
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
If u are using a rom with amend script, send a personal message to the dev and say: "Hey u, u must update ur script to the new version!! Amend is old!!!"

:)
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Right! You couldnt be more rude :)
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Ya, i was kidding..Sure not in that way..But people should request it, and dev should update their script..I think u agree too? :)
[Desire Android Development] nitrox1:

Desire is the source of all suffering.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
3.0.0.0-r2 dont work fine for me, sd-ext fail

2.5.0.7 work fine

2.5.1.8 work perfectly fine too, its the official build for bravo now.

For my experience, the best practice for now are:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-bravo.img

and for test purpose:

fastboot boot recovery-bravo-3.0.0.5-r2.img
[Desire Android Development] karloe:
Hi DJ 1, it's me again :p

2.5.0.7 is ok for me, even with a custom theme.

I did point you this thread with the suggestion to read at least the last 70 - 80 posts. (3 pages for me, probably 7 - 8 for You)

Please show some initiative and read a few page's back, do not expect a clear answer directly, we are all here posting in our spare free time.

And you clearly didn't, considering the 3d post after your OP :mad:
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
there a updated cwm release here not sure what your problem was as i'm not an a2sd user. according to kali's changelog the sd-ext wipe is fixed.

edit: The link you provided is for cwm 2.5.1.3
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
What was the problem?
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
The problem that i and some other have found (with a backup done with AR2.5.1.8) is:

After upgrade of HBOOT from 0.93.0001 to 0.93.1000, the image backup isn't restorable correctly (with AR2.5.1.8 or the old cwmr 2.5.0.7) and the device don't work (apps) :o

The solution that i had found is restore the old 0.93.0001 hboot from AlpharevCD, restore the backup with AR-2.5.1.8.

Then redo the procedure after flashing the old CWMR2.5.0.7...

do backup, upgrade the hboot, and then restore the image... all ok :rolleyes:

Maybe AR-CWMR 2.5.1.8 have a little bug that appear with HBOOT upgrade... :confused:

Once it is all ok with nww HBOOT.

The new AR-CWMR 2.5.1.8 recovery, work correctly in backup/recovery...
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Well, I'll stay with 2.5.0.7 then until defrost 7 will come out (:
[Desire Android Development] AlboGio:
Good decision :D

Infact with gingerbread rom the new CianogenMod 3.x is needed...

I'm also waiting for the new DeFrost7 installable only with the new CWMR 3.x
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
You are right, its 2.5.1.3, I mistake with alpharev clockworkmod, 2.5.1.3 its the right version and work fine

Im testing now 3.0.0.5-r3...

Edit: For the moment, 3.0.0.5-rc3 work fine here, Full Backup/restore work perfectly (sd-ext too)
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
That's why I wrote "until" (:
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
aehm, its because noone here mentioned sd-ext partition has to be labeled. that was a very smart move of kali, but since most users (you) screwed up, he did move away from sd-ext label again. unfortunatly. but i told him a week ago this will happen (:

if you had formated you sdcard with cwm 3.0.0.5-r2 or put a partition label on ext partition, it would have worked flawlessly - as described in the mentioned post and also here on this thread.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
yes, but without any change, r3 work fine now.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Just because a dev didnt add Edify support doesnt mean you lose anything. You just wouldnt be able to install his Rom..If someone is to be blamed, blame those who weaned away Amend support for CWM..Working with both Amend and Edify worked fine till versions before 3.0. Why not extend it further. It's not as if interpreting Amend commmands is rocket science..
[Desire Android Development] mad-murdock:
on koush's faq thread, he said, he had to remove amend because it was incompatible to the gingerbread changes.
[Desire Android Development] Droidzone:
Hmm.. It'd have been ok if they would officially release some good documentation on Edify..All that is available around is very little, and mostly from some few comments within the source code of some Edify binaries..When they change something radically, at least they could have given us some good documentation. I dont think any custom developer knows the full list of commands available in Edify. There are some well known ones, and some really cryptic ones which are really powerful if they could be studied-like the If/else/elif (We know the sh version, but I'm not sure of the syntax of this in Edify, and dont know where to look!) -I would like to know these and other loops and nesting which Edify is capable of..But where to look to?
[Desire Android Development] yreham:
I flashed the latest version and when I hooked up my phone to the pc the pc went dead turns on but the hard disk doesn't start not even the boot. I think you should test your stuff more before releasing it. If you have a proposition for me I would appreciate it. Does this mean my phone usb not good anymore . Thanks for a reply
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
Are you telling us that phone's recovery killed your pc? :eek:

its maybe a problem with CM7?

In theory, Wipe Battery status delete the file posted, so should work fine. Maybe other user can test on your same ROM.

Again, here work fine
[Desire Android Development] jwaschit:
version 2.5.0.7 or 3.0.0.5 ?

Hello I installed the version 3.0.0.5 this way:

1. Reboot into the bootloader

2. fastboot devices---check if your device is detected

3. fastboot flash recovery <image file name>

4. Reboot device

When I start the device with power/volume-down and select recovery, I get version 3.0.0.5.

If I start CWM from the rom-manager I get version 2.5.0.7.

What went wrong? How can I correct this?
[Desire Android Development] Surfy89:
It's the same thing for me. I think it's because Rom Manager has been updated for a while. However, as long as you have 3.0.0.5 in the recovery you don't have to worry about it so much.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
RomManager only use a boot recovery image, dont use the recovery mode from phone.

Its the same that if you enter on fastboot:

fastboot boot recovery-bravo-2.5.0.7.img, your phone will reboot on recovery mode with 2.5.0.7, regardless of the version you had. if you go into recovery normally, you will use the version you have "flashed on recovery partition
[Desire Android Development] kkarnaout:
when i use the 3.0.0.5 to flash anything i get the Amend error Scripting ....... why is that?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
reflash 2.* back or use rom manager. amend support is removed from 3.* branch.
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
because clockworkmod +3.x dont support old-style amend scripts. If you want use old scripts:

1º. Flash a older recovery

2º. Use a old recovery image to boot your phone and app any old package
[Desire Android Development] cCeT:
has been figured it out
[Desire Android Development] quertiy:
so, i've installed 3.0.0.5. when i press backup the following happen:

backing up:

boot, recovery, system, data, android_secure, cache.

Why doesn't it back up my sd-ext? the recovery was downloaded from the first post.
[Desire Android Development] warriors3:
@udk can u make FakeFlash zip for S-ON users recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-bravo.zip can make partition to ext 4 too ..

Thanks ...

I really need it :)
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
The recovery on the first post is bugged...

udk, the OP, is not available from months...

The only 3.x working recovery, is the 3.0.0.5-r3 from Kali-, in the CyanogenMod 7 thread...

Anyway, the 2.5.0.7 still rocks!!! No need to update yet in my opinion ;)
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
how andQlimax, you need the last version 3.0.0.5-r3

3.x add some partitions options, but really its only usefull because the next generation of roms (some of them) will work only witch 3.X release (for example CM7 releases)
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:
Yes, but for what I know, CM7 works good with 2.x too..I tried some nightly and they works..Of course the 3.x add some features that come from the stock gingerbread recovery..

But at the moment there is no particular need..This my personal opinion..
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
I believed that it was mandatory, however they said it soon will be
[Desire Android Development] quertiy:
i've installed the recommender recovery but now when i try backing up it says: error, can't mount /system.
[Desire Android Development] quertiy:
i've installed the recommended recovery but now when i try backing up it says: error, can't mount /system.

omfg and now i've entered into a bootloop. i can enter the recovery but i cannot restore or backup anything cause of the error above.

and i've flashed the recovery from the terminal using "flash_image recovery" cause i can't make adb to recognize the phone.

SOO wtf am i suppose to do now? :))
[Desire Android Development] mikep99:
Can you mount system in recovery? Should be one of the options in there...
[Desire Android Development] quertiy:
no, i can't. it just says "error"
[Desire Android Development] mikep99:
Not really sure then. Have you tried wiping dalvik etc.. just to see if it will boot..
[Desire Android Development] tekhop:
installed the kali mod (from download link in this page) but still getting the amend error.. also clockwork still showing 3.0.0.5 without any add to the name... i tried also to flash 2.5.1.8 and then kali's, but still... any idea?
[Desire Android Development] MrDevil:
There is no name change in mine either. Ammend script is no longer supported in all cwm3 and mod is for sd-ext fix. If u wanna use ammend scripts flash an older cwm or use amon-ra.

I just bought a class 4 SD card and in Linux VM im only getting speeds of 1.8mb/sec in recovery.

just tried in windows and getting even less! 1.0mb a sec

does anyone know if my cwm 2.5.0.7. nandroid backups will recover properly with the cwm 3.x.x.x ?
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
NOT recommended.
[Desire Android Development] Silvercn:
Good evening guys,

just a questions before i gonna try to flash that one over to my Desire.

Im using now a Gingerbread GingerVillian0.9 ROM. S-off and cwm v2.5.1.8.

Will it comfortable with that ROM? I know i gonna make a nan backup before.

Just to be sure that i can restore after, if it.

EDIT: Okay i flashed it using fastboot, now works all well like before.

But in ROM Manager it still says 2.5.0.7 is this a issue with the app?
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
I think mine is a S on desire. What is a fake flash do I just flash it as normal
[Desire Android Development] fatspirit:
What is "normal" for you?
[Desire Android Development] hsv23:
Yeah it is an issue with Rom Manager because Rom Manager has its own clockworkmod recovery version. So if you reboot into recovery using ROmManger you will go into Rom Managers version. If you reboot into your phones recovery you will boot into your phones version of Recovery.
[Desire Android Development] Rusty!:
Er, no. That's not even possible, the phone only has one recovery partition.

ROM Manager just reports the versions wrong some times, I've seen it saying a phone had CWM recovery installed when it was in fact running the stock one.
[Desire Android Development] Madeli:
It's possible cuz rom manager boots into the fake flash version.
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
Normal for me is click on it and it flashes
[Desire Android Development] hispeedworm:
The question everyone should be asking is that whats the benefit of updating the clockworkmod .... I have 2.5.0.7 and I can flash new Roms . I can go back to stock Rom and I have factory shipped froyo desire with SLCD . And everything works for me
[Desire Android Development] rouvax:
I couldnt flash the new recovery.

I downloaded the two files, first i tried update.zip but it didnt work. in recovery mod it's the same 2.5.0.7

I tried to unrevok but i coulndt choose custom recovery.

when ı open the program, it's auto start the mod and asking for ok, if you choose ok, it starts rooting.

help me please.
[Desire Android Development] Glotzeulor:
Use fastboot to flash it
[Desire Android Development] thompson187:
can I flash the zip file like an update.zip?
[Desire Android Development] psybill:
I tried via fast boot but I got signature verify failed.

Pushed the recovery image using Unrevoked. Works fine, and didn't freeze when taking a nandroid backup. The modified title is a little annoying though lol.
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
you dont have s-off

also why are people even asking if this supports slcd? its a later version to 2.5.0.7 which supported slcd

EDIT:

whats the benefit of using this over amon_Ra
[Desire Android Development] Rastaman-FB:
just looking at your screenshot im puzzled as to why you have your sdk set up in that way

surely you should just add the sdk/tools folder to environment variables as a path

then you can adb/fastboot from anywhere
[Desire Android Development] ChaosR:
I can confirm it does. CustomMTD should work with any recovery.

Flash recovery

Start recovery

Flash CustomMTD-recovery.zip

Advanced->Reboot Recovery

Done :D
[Desire Android Development] blud7:
I've seen this asked a few times here so:

For all the peoples trying to flash update.zip from recovery, please note that it does work but it isn't permanent. You must use either fastboot or unrevoked to flash it.

rollback to 2.5.0.7 meanwhile....

[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
What is a fake flash
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
The phone only have one recovery partition, but it can be booted using any boot image, like any recovery image. Maybe ROM manager have some bugs, but report the correct recovery image that ROM Manager use to boot the phone. Rom manager DONT FLASH the recovery partition, only boot the phone with it.

The phone have a Recovery Partitiont that you can flash with any recovery image, and its permanent (until other goals). For example with:

"fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod-3.0.0.5-r3.img"

But you can boot your phone with other images if you want without flash your recovery partition:

"fastboot boot recovery clockworkmod-2.5.0.7.img"
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
So how do I fake flash clockwordmod
[Desire Android Development] rraaka:
do you want the clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 ?

Then download rom manager free from market then choose first option - flash clokworkmod recovery, choose your device etc

then reboot into recovery - voila !! you will be in clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 and from here you can wipe or flash roms - this is fake flash because this not your permanent recovery yet.
[Desire Android Development] umair_903:
I want clockworkmod 3.0.0.7
[Desire Android Development] Theliels:
Command line or Shell or... (you need of course fastboot)

fastboot boot recovery your-desire-recovery-image.img

and your phone will reboot on that recovery image
[Desire Android Development] Silvercn:
Yepp, noticed that, but now im sure its an issue. Thanks :cool:

If i boot from Phone i go into 3.0.0.5 and when i boot into recovery from ROM Manager im back into 2.5.0.7. But okay using mostly Phones Recovery anyway.
[Desire Android Development] andQlimax:

1) Is it possible to add a speed test sdcard in the next version of ClockworkMod ?

2) In the next version, is it possible to keep the format type for the partition sdext.

CWM 3.0.0.5 formate only ext3, even if the partition was ext4.

We have to use GParted to set ext4.
