Hey Koush,

Sure this isnt the right thread for this... But I had to delete my old google account because google voice kept calling an old phone. In any case my Rom Manager premium was linked to my old account (gtkansan@gmail.com) and now I cant access rom manager premium without paying again since google wont migrate app purchases for me. Is there any other way to get a license? I can provide credit card info that was used to pay for it. Tried emailing you about 3 times but never received a reply.

Many thanks...

I have rom manager and i flashed the CWM 2.6.0.1 from rom manager and rom manager says that it has flashed the 2.6.01 verison .However when i go to Hboot then recovery, it says im still on clockwork 2.5.0.1 not 2.6.0.1 . So my question is why is rom manager telling me im on clockwork 2.6.0.1 but when i go into Hboot it says clockwork recovery 2.5.0.1 Any idea's here ?

So i guess im on CWM 2.5.0.1 can anyone help me get back to 2.6.0.1 so i can backup my wimax keys thanks alot !
[EVO 4G Android Development] Spiricore:
I've spent some more time researching how to downgrade (or just revert all changes entirely and start over), but haven't had a whole lot of luck because I'm running Gingerbread on my Nexus S. I've seen a lot of tools for EVO and earlier phones, but nothing I'm comfortable trying these due to their differences.

I apologize for asking for something that is probably buried somewhere on these forums, but my eyes are starting to glaze over from having a dozen tabs open in chrome trying to piece together a way to success.

I'm hoping this is just a simple question with a simple answer. How do I either:

a) Stop CWM 2.x from reverting back to 3.x every time I reboot, and make 2.5.0.1 'stick' so I can upgrade to 2.6.0.1, or

b) How to revert/undo the root so I can start over and do this properly knowing what I do and don't know now.

Please, can anyone point me in the right direction? I've documented everything I can think of on the previous page, but this is yet another step I'm stuck on. I'm tired, frustrated, and my persistence is turning into hopelessness. I've been at this for a solid three days now, 10-16 hours a day, and all I want is to be able to use some of the ROMs and other tweaks here written in amend so I can wait for the authors to update their releases (as well as getting wifi and camera working again), after which I can update to the latest CWM and not have to go through this ever again.

Should I be able to actually get this thing worked out, I'm fully prepared to write a detailed guide of the entire process, beginning to end, of unlocking, rooting and installing goodies for the Nexus S. (I have a background in technical documentation, and I feel users like me could use a one-stop-shop for cracking this beast given the tools provided, and avoid all the headaches I've gone through.)

Thank you in advance, and I'm sorry for my newbness. I don't know where else to turn to.

//edit: I just found the "stock images" option in ROM Manager. I'm PRAYING this works. If I get it working, I'll start that guide. If I don't, well, I'll be back. :\

//edit 2: OMG. Still v3.0.0.5 after choosing stock Nexus S within ROM Manager. I would link the pic I took of exactly what I'm seeing, but the forums are a little strict about in-line images and links for the recently-registered. *bangs head on desk*

Is it possible to go back to 'recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-supersonic.zip'? I downloaded out but how do I flash it? I tried renaming it to PC36IMG.ZIP and tried to flash it through bootloader but it did not work. Any help?

[EVO 4G Android Development] sminker:
From the looks of it, it looks like this developer threw in the towel. Its a shame, rom manager is a great program. But with no support its useless. Sucks for everyone that paid for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EndlessDissent:
I take it you've never heard of Koush or paid attention to the work he does in Cyanogenmod and other projects... He definitely hasn't abandoned anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
Ok so rom manager was telling me that there was a update for clockworkmod, i was on 2.5.0.1, i was very happy with it and never had any issues. I wanted to go to amon so I could back up my wimax just in case. So I did that.

When I went back to clock work it installed some newer buggy version and i was unable to get back to 2.5.0.1. Only other versions.

I wanted to flash a new kernel, i have not been able to, nothing but bootloops.

I'm currently on amon, but still get bootloops, i found 2.5.0.1 as a zip file but when I flash it I just go to it like normal but it doesn't stick, when I go back to recovery i still get amon, until I flash that zip, then I'm back to. 2.5.0.1.

But flashing a kernel through either recoveries I still get bootloops.

How can I get back to 2.5.0.1 for good so its the main recovery?

Any thoughts or opinions?

Yes im wiping dal and cache.

I think something is messed in recovery.

The only way I get the phone to boot normal is if I reflash the rom im using.

I am still unable to flash any kernel, htc kernels included.

Can anyone help?????
[EVO 4G Android Development] chillenandy321:
You have the 2.5.0.1 zip?

This what I did..

1. Take the IMG file out of zip.

2. Put IMG file in root of sd card.

3. Boot into Bootloader and it should read IMG file

4. Follow steps for updating and should work.

Hope this helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] intheb0x:
I'd do this, but when opening it with root explorer, i don't see any. IMG....

Wow...this can be confusing stuff.

Question: Updated my radio to 3.70 and have been using Amon 1.8? for a while to make backups. I don't have 4G so never had a chance to try it. Did I lose my WiMax info when flashing the radio? Does it even matter until the phone actually gets connected to WiMax?

Confused on whether or not I can even get on 4G if/when it comes to my area. Do I need to do anything with that partition (if it exists) before flashing to newer CM version?

Thanks.

In rom manager, at the bottom of the main menu you can choose to flash older versions of clockwork.

Just take the image file out of the zip and let it load via bootloader

Does anyone know why Rom Manager is showing CWM 3.0.0.5 again instead of the 2.6.0.1?

Same here. Giving me the alert that 3.0.0.5 is available. I am under the impression that this version still has some issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] generalExpert:
Yes, I'm wondering if this will give the same issues everyone was having last time it was upgraded? Is this a "do not upgrade unless ur running CM7??"

I opened the zip but can't find an image file to use with the bootloader. Can you clarify which one for me?

Can't force devs to use edify, as far as I'm concerned lack of amend support in ClockworkMod is a bug.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emooney:
I just dropped back to the 2.5.0.7 version of ClockworkMod recovery, installed the radio, rebooted and then Flashed the recovery back to 3.0.0.5 and it seems to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nagrom Nniuq:
Nope, but they are stupid not to since technology moves on and will leave them behind. And if you consider it a "bug", then I guess Google and CM7 are bugged...

If Google and CM7 have switched to not support amend scripting, then you better believe that people aren't going to not use CM7 or the latest releases from Google just because some developer won't switch. I just drop anything made by a developer who won't keep up. I've been there, done that.

If you want to use old, outdated recovery code that doesn't use the latest from Google, then by all means, have fun. Maybe you should switch back to Windows Mobile while you are at it...

This works well also.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Any way to make a new recovery-update.zip outta the newest clockwork version?
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
If we had a new version of the update-recovery, we could use amon as a base recovery and while in that...if you wanted to use clockwork, just flash the update.zip. Are all the files needed to replace the existing ones in the recovery.img of 3.0.0.5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cordell12:
I am using CM7 and everything that is wrote in edify. BUT I am also able to flash the themes and things still wrote in amend, all this without having to flash back and forth between different versions of clockwork. Yes, I use Amon Recovery 2.2.3, I have the best of both worlds :)

:eek: I too see the lack of amend as a bug :eek:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stajdanley:
Stupid question/problem. I've done a million Google/XDA searches, so forgive me if I missed this, but nothing seemed relevant.

I am on RA 2.3 and selected the Flash Clockword recovery option in RM to go to 3.0.0.5 and it said it did it, but it was really fast and there was no progress bar at the top. Booted into recovery and it is still RA2.3, working fine. Rom Manager shows that I have clockwork 3.0.0.5 still though. Cleared data for RM, uninstalled it, reinstalled it, flashed alt recovery to ra, reflashed cwm, nothing. Still RA and RM still shows CWM 3.0.0.5 as my recovery. I restored an older backup of RM and flashed 3.0.0.5, and it actually showed the progress bar, but same result... still have RA recovery. I have done some variation of this about 15 times, but can't get it to flash CWM. Any ideas? It's late, so I hope all of that makes sense... wasn't sure where else to post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
1. I have to let you understand that ther is nothing like a stupid question. We are here to help each other.

2. The really easy way to flash clockwork is through Rom Manager. If you can boot your phone. download rom manager from the market if you dont have it already, within the app, yiu will have the option to flsah recoveries. On the topmost part of the app, you have the option to flash clockwork recover and on the bottom part you have the option of flashing to Amon RA. You have to note that if you flash RA, you can no longer use rom manager since it is only compatible with Clockwork recovery. You can use the app to flash any recovery u want at any time.

If you have any further questions, don hesitate to PM me.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] knoc:
He stated he tried flashing it through the app itself. I and others have same problem. I on the other hand couldn't be happier
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stajdanley:
I appreciate the response, but as I mentioned above, all of my issues were a result of using the Rom Manager app, so it appears to be the problem and not the solution. Not too big of a deal; more a curiosity than anything. I've switched recoveries within the app many times, so it seems strange it would suddenly get all fubar.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Slatter39:
Soo sorry, probably i didnt read it well or i just didnt understand it well. Have you tried uninstalling the app and re installing again? When i had issues before, thats all i had to do and it got resolved.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SquallLHeart:
i had this same exact problem last night.

uninstalling RM and reinstalling didn't help.. even clearing data and everything else.. once i booted back into recovery.. alas! AmonRa was still there!!

i ended up having to get a PC136IMG.zip file that flashed CWM from the bootloader.. the stress was a bit much because i had needed to recover back further than when i had flashed AmonRa's recovery... which i had the need to go to CWM... yea.. i barely got any sleep last night.. let's just say that.. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] hgoldner:
As per my post further up in this thread, I flashed CWM 3.0.0.8 the same way and no matter what I do, ROM Manager prompts me to update from 3.0.0.7.

Rom Manager should update 2.5.0.7 to 2.6

Hello,

I have latest Rom Manager Premium 4.2.0.2. If you go to All ClockworkMod Recoveries, you will see latest compatible is 2.5.0.7 and I thing 2.6 is better. Can you write Rom Manager developer to update?

Thank you very much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jefbal99:
When I was using RM and switched to CWM the initial flash failed. I used the last menu option, All ClockworkMod Recoveries and selected 3.0.0.5 from there. It flashed successfully.

I loved using Rom Manager, but CWM 3.0.0.5 is just too buggy for me, had many "weird" problems when flashing ROMS and updates. My biggest issue was that I constantly lost my GApps when updating CM. When I was/is on Amon_RA I never had flashed GApps except the initial ROM install.

I had an odd one yesterday...

Everytime I open Rom Manager, it reminds me that I need CWM to utilize the App. However, yesterday it notified me that an Update was available for the CM Nightlies and it wanted to download. I didn't have a Nandroid for the last few days so I cancelled the D/L, but I would have liked to know what would have happened...

I would buy Rom Manager Premium again if a new version would support Amon_RA's recovery...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stajdanley:
I believe this happens when you flash using Rom Manger because when you click Flash From SD Card or whatever the option is to Flash from the app, the wipe option is to "Wipe Data/Cache". Wiping data clears your apps. It would be nice to have several options there to select "Data / Cache / Dalvik".

Hi!

I have the samsung galaxy s, and i've got a question about the phones audio formats..

I was going to watch the movie Inception on my phone. The movie's format was: 720p H264 AAC.. The picture on the phone was very good, but i didn't get any sound from the phone. I read a bit about it and i found out that AAC was not a supported format.

So, does anybody have some audio converter program i can use, or other suggestions?

[G Tablet General] treenuts:
Thanks for the recommendation.

Is there another way to create wallpapers and set them so that they show up with better resolution?

I expect that there is a preferred size and file-type that android prefers. For example, the vegan-tab default wallpapers always look centered and clear, but when I set a .jpg file to be the wallpaper, I only see one top corner of the image.

Robeet had recommended 1024x1024 in the past, but that didn't work for me.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
[G Tablet General] P0RT3R:
Thanks for the app, but unfortunately it seems to assume 7 horizontal screens. Sweeter Home uses 5 screens arranged in a '+' shape, so it looks fine on the main screen but the left and right screens don't display anything.
[G Tablet General] yzf600:
Thanks for the app post. I too have been struggling to figure out how to get high def wallpapers to work. I use launcher pro, 5 screen and have the settings configured to allow wallpaper scrolling. When I enable multi screen live walpaper, it still doesn't show the image as high of def as it should.

For example, I went to interfacelift and downloaded a 1024x600 nature image. When viewed in the browser (stock), it looks quite good. Very sharp and crisp. However, when I save this image to the sdcard, and set it up as the wallpaper in multi screen, it gets all blurry and looses definition. I've gone through all 3 settings of "crop/resize ratio" and none produce the same high def image as I see in the browser.

Is anyone else having similar issues? Anyone have any suggestions on what to try next? I guess I should switch back to the stock launcher just to see what it does.
[G Tablet General] WickedStyx:
The image would actually need to be wider than 1024px due to the wallpaper scrolling. If you used an image 1024x1024 it would need to be stretched out to something like 1600x1024 (only a guess) to account for the area of image to left and right of the middle home screen.

EDIT: I'm talking about the standard wallpaper not the live wallpaper app.
