[MOD] EZ Clockwork 2.5.1.2 Install>Easily flash to 2.5.1.2 to flash old mods/themes

THIS IS FOR THE MT4G/Glacier UPDATED 04/22/2011

The primary use for this mod is to be able to easily switch between CWM Recovery 3.0.2.4, 3.0.0.6, 2.5.1.2 and the MT4G/Glaciers stock recovery.(Thanks to Amac1222 for the idea of adding the stock recovery to this)

In order to flash a rom or mod you must be rooted and running a recovery other than stock. With this zip, you can install CWM 2.5.1.2 so that some of the older scripted mods/themes will work. This zip also still includes CWM 3.0.0.6 and the stock recovery for anyone that wants to run those recoveries for some reason.

Using this Mod/Method you can switch between the latest version of CwM 3.0.2.4, 3.0.0.6, 2.5.1.2 or the stock recovery with the push of a couple buttons(you cant flash things from the stock recovery).

This zip does not modify Rom Manager in any way but only places the both CwM v3.0.0.6, v2.5.1.2 and the stock 2.2.1 recovery image in the correct spot on your sd card and renames it in order for it to be flashed using Rom Manager.

Instructions for use

Make sure you have the newest Rom Manager installed. This is included in most roms but can be found in the market also. The free version works fine..

Download the zip at the bottom of this post and place it on your sd card.

Open Rom Manager and choose "Reboot into Recovery"

From recovery flash/install the zip file you placed on your sdcard.(If you downloaded straight to your phone you will need to go into the download folder first and then) choose "Recovery_2.5.1.2_to_RomManager.zip" and install it. No need to wipe anything.

Now reboot your phone and then go back into Rom Manager and go to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" This is where you flash the recoveries from.

To flash CwM 2.5.1.2 recovery just choose the option for 2.5.1.4

To flash CwM 3.0.0.6 recovery just choose the option for 3.0.0.5

To flash the stock recovery just choose the option for 2.5.1.3

Rom Manger will not show the correct matching "Current Recovery #" after using this. ie: It will say 2.5.1.4 in Rom Manager but if you boot into recovery it should be 2.5.1.2

You can now boot into recovery. (If you chose the 2.5.1.3 option hold volume up and power button at same from the red triangle screen to enter the stock recovery)

You should now see the new recovery.

CWM 2.5.1.2 Recovery has GREEN text

CWM 3.0.0.6 Recovery has ORANGE text

Stock Recovery has BLUE text

Keep in mind that you can switch recoveries easily in order to do things like flash that quick mod that has a old script. Just dont forget to flash back to the correct recovery when you try to flash a rom again.

Please hit the "THANKS" button if you are using this and want to show your gratitude.

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Thanks for staying so on top of keeping this updated Drew! This is definitely the most user-friendly and accessible method for the newbies. You should email the developer of ROM manager to see if they can build in an option for Clockwork 3.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] UncleEk:
This is exactly what I was going to ask CM7 thread. Die looking for the stock recovery to re-calibrate my battery. BIG THANKS!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I dont think it will be added into Rom Manager anytime soon but I could be wrong. Our phone is one of only 4 or 5 phones that require a different recovery to run Gingerbread so most phones dont have this issue. Until most all of the roms require 3.0.0.5 type of recovery to flash, I just dont see it happening. I think Koush is far to busy with other things right now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] m00nshake:
Awesome work, Drew, downloading now. I had just received my millionth MT4G replacement (yes, I am searching for the highly elusive perfect MT4G), and was attempting to get it set up for CM7 over the weekend, and although I had used your method before and was able to get it working, this time it wouldn't work, and I finally got it working through procedure 3 on the other thread, I believe, by Phateless. Hitting the thanks button now, and I appreciate your keeping on top of things. Cheers =)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I appreciate the thanks and I'm glad its working again. I just found out the other one had stopped working last night and I couldnt edit the post with the fix since the thread it was in had been closed. At least now if we run into any more issues everyone has a place to post and let me know.

Good luck finding the MT4G for you. I got lucky, mine is as close to flawless as I think I can get. Good screen, can OC to max with no probs. My back button does creek sometimes ever so slightly but I do push it like 20 times more than any other button so I can live with that.

Thanks again for using this mod!!:)

The download link seems to be broken
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You only would need to change the recovery if you want to flash a rom that isnt compatable with the recovery that you are currantly running,

For example if you are running a rom like Ice Glacier and Clockwork recovery 2.5.1.2 and you want to install CM7. You cant do it without flashing ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 first. Same thing if you are running CM7 and Clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 and want to install a Froyo Rom you must flash back to 2.5.1.2 before installing the rom.

You can do both of those things from Rom Manager by following the instructions in the first post.

Once you have installed the zip you should not have to install it again. It places the recovery images on your SD card so they shouldnt get erased when you flash a different rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] acureto:
just kidding on the download link being broken, awesome job it works great!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Link wasnt broken but Mediafire doesnt play nice if your downloading str8 to your Phone. I replaced the link with a different one so try it now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Uchennadi:
Thank you so so so muccch!!!! It worked like a charm. But wow to think I was putting up with ice glacier cuz the process of going to cwm3 just seemed so inconvenient, boy did you make things easy.

And wow cm7 is the ishhh. I can't believe how smooth and fast everything is. And its like customization galore. Again thank you so much.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Great idea putting the stock recovery also - thanks. That makes it much easier to deal with if there is a need to convert back to stock to return a phone under warranty.

I could not see how I had gotten the ROM Manager update however, as I had never seen it coming through a market update. Then I recalled it comes with the newer Builds, so apparently the new Manager one is in them now.

Update - Installed this on another MT4G I got for a Family Plan member ($49.95 with two year extension). I had it flash CMW 2.xxx, went into recovery (green), and then booted back up. Open modified ROM manager, flashed back to "2,5.1.1" and booted back into recovery.

Got the (usually) dreaded red triangle, and then vol up/power button - and there was the old stock recovery in all its blue glory!

Going to leave it that way for now unless I need to flash some more zip files before I ship it off (recipient is 2600 miles away). I don't want to have to deal with the boot-up to recovery when connecting to the charger when device is off issue.

Again - great work
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
TrueBlue - I think this note might be useful to add to your guide. As a noob to all of this i didn't know you need to press VOLUME UP and then POWER in order to get into stock recovery the first time i did it. It scared the crap out of me and i thought i bricked my phone!

So it might be helpful for people who are doing it for the first time to know that the phone and hazard sign are expected.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Actually it is in the OP right where I tell you to boot into recovery. You must have missed it. Maybe I will make it bold print. :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Yes, sorry you are correct! Bold would be nice for people who can't read like me :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kirkcody:
Thanks for the help, and great work man. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
Drew, THANKS A LOT.

Question: When you flash a new ROM, do you have to reflash the recovery ZIP?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
No, you do not need to reflash this everytime you flash a rom. You should only need to flash it once.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
As long as you stay on a Gingerbread ROM you don't need to reflash recovery. If you go back to a Froyo ROM then you need to reflash Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.2, which can be done through ROM Manager.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
He asked if he needed to flash the recovery ZIP when he flashes a new rom.The answer to his question is NO. He did not ask if he needs to flash a new recovery. If he wants to flash a different rom then, yes he needs to make sure he is using the correct recovery for the Rom he is flashing.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
This recovery is the same as the 3.0.0.6 in option94 thread.

Please somebody help me?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
If you have a working 3005 recovery, just wipe data and reflash a rom.

What's the big deal?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] std396:
it wont let me reflash

It keeps giving me a

E: Cant Mount/clockworkrecovery/log not found

E: Cant Mount/clockworkrecovery/log not found

E: Cant Find/clockworkrecovery/log not found

And it wont let me reflash.

So i dont know what to do?

What can i do?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
am i mistaken or does the latest rom manager now flash 3.0.0.6?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I think you might be mistaken. As far as I can tell 3.0.0.6 is still not incuded with rom manager.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] darinmc:
hm. I did a full wipe and installed RG 1.4. I wiped everything including my sdcard, and in all other circumstances when market apps installed ROM Manager it would wipe my 3.0.0.6 when I opened it up and it required a flash of 3.0.0.5. So each time I would have to go to recovery and reflash your zip to get back to 3.0.0.6. This time i flashed 3.0.0.5, but when I booted into recovery it was 3.0.0.6. So idk.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
The version of Rom Manager that comes on Ice Glacier is a old version and requires the image to be placed in a different place for flashing. When you wiped your sd card you wiped the recovery that had been placed by this zip. The placement for the recovery has actually changed severel times over the last couple of months and has required the zip to be changed slightly. The latest zip version places it in the correct folder so as long as you dont wipe your sdcard and you have the latest Rom Manager installed it should pull from the correct place. Hope that kind of explains it for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] LBOG_Kush:
everytime i do a restore on rom manage of my stock rom i get stuck at mytouch screen anybody help?

Worked like a charm, a very special charm. Like a box of Lucky Charms that was all marshmallows. Mmmm
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Make sure all backups/restores are done from Recovery and not rom manager.

This is what I like to hear!!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Forgive if this has been delt with, I'm at work on the app.

My friend is on cm7 with Eng hboot, recovery 3.0.0.6 installed and gfree on his phone, all things I helped him do. He wants to go to royal higher after seeing it at work on my phone.

I put the zip on his phone and went to boot into recovery and it froze at the splash1 screen. I tried reflashing and got same, flashed to stock which received an error and wouldn't do it. Tried the oldest recovery which worked and loaded, tried 3.0.0.5 again which flashes correctly but freezes at splash1 still. Tried going to 3.0.0.6 recovery from hboot and Tom manager, freezes. Tried going into the oldest recovery and reinstalling the .zip for this which was still on his SD card. It said everything went fine, rebooted, flashed back to 3.0.0.6 and its still freezing at splash1. I'm at a total loss for thoughts now. I don't get any errors with anything other than stock recovery it just freezes at splash 1.

I'm kinda frustrated at this point so any help would be great!

By oldest recovery I mean 2.5.1.2

[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
ok, if you allready had 3.0.0.6 on your phone you should have been just fine to flash Royal Ginger. So were you trying to flash recovery again or what? Make sure you have the latest Rom Manager and you should be fine. I am a little confused as to where your actual problem occured. Was it stuck on the splash screen before you even flashed a Rom? What recovery are you on now, or can you get into recovery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Sorry about the confusion, whenever I tried to get into recovery 3.0.0.6 it would go to splash 1 and stay there never actually getting into recovery. Tried all the stuff I said to no avail, even uninstalled Tom manager and reinstalled. No go. I finally got home where I have wifi, redownloaded the .Zip, reinstalled it and everything is great. Fixed it right away. I think it glitched somehow, like I said, its a friends phone so I don't know what he did, but its working (and on Royal Glacier) now, thanks though!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
No prob, glad you got it going. You should really consider erasing your sig from the xda app because it prints it twice. If you have a sig set up it will still put it on there even if you have no sig chosen on the app. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
Yikes! I didn't know that, sorry guys!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xsteven77x:
This was such a life saver, i could not understand why my phone would boot with a black screen all the time!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] radamo:
So do I have to Flash a Froyo ROM in order to charge with the phone off or can I charge from the Blue Recovery Screen?

Thanks,

RA
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
It doesnt matter what rom you are on if you want to change recoveries.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] radamo:
Sorry, real noob here. I flashed this on my phone today since I may at some point want to try a Froyo ROM. I had thought an additional benefit would be to boot to the 2.5.1.4 recovery which would allow charging with my phone off. However if I shut my phone off at the blue recovery screen and plug in my charger my phone rebooted back to CM7. Did I misunderstand??? Sounds like I did...

RA
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Just make sure you have the latest Rom Manager and after my zip has been flashed you should be able to flash the 2.5.1.4 recovery option and then power your phone off and charge it if you like. Dont try and charge it while in recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Not sure what's going on but I got some errors in recovery so I had to install the PD15IMG and completely unroot. After that was done, I true rooted and installed ROM manager and flashed recovery. I then flashed this recovery file and booted back up. I ran ROM Manager and flashed 3.0.0.6. All went well but whenever I boot back into recovery, I'm only seeing 3.0.0.5. BTW, if I try to install an older version, I get an error. I've tried going back to stock (PD15IMG), unrooted, rooting and installing recovery again but I'm still getting errors. Sometimes my screen looks weird when I choose reboot system in recovery as well. Doesn't happen all the time though. It seems as if recovery gets corrupted or the PD15IMG doesn't fully wipe reovery. No idea... anyone?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
I'm having the same issues as of last night after going from Iced Glacier to CM7 RC2. I was able to go back to stock recovery after flashing iced glacier and then was able to go back to CWM again to flash CM7. But now that I have CM7 installed, I'm unable to go back to stock recovery. I normally wouldn't care, but I much prefer charging my phone with the power off and seeing as I can't without stock, this kind of sucks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
It seems that Koush has updated the mirror again and changed the location of the recoveries. The OP has been updated with the new zip so you will need to download and install it again and you will be good to go.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
Thank you. Trying to download but getting server not found. Takes me to http://lelu5hkq1njg/pc7haabmmpdakba/Recoveries_to_RomManager.zip =(
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
let me check it
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rayne127:
Thank you. I actually just went into my SD card and moved the recovery images from the mirror folder the zip installs to to the one ROM manager set up and I was able to flash the stock recovery. I probably should have been able to figure that one out on my own lol but thank you!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
No prob, I re-uploaded it to a different place and updated the link.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] DADDYDC650:
Sweet! Works!!! Thank you!!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
anyway I can get back to RECOVERY 2.5.1.3?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
there is no real recovery 2.5.1.3 for this device. What exactly are you trying to do and why?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Well I love RoyalThunder but battery life is horrible and I'm pretty sure it's because of the battery percentage inside the battery icon in the notification bar, which Option94 was able to confirm for me as well. I was wondering how to take it out, and stumbled upon this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894837&highlight=base

He has the stock battery that's flashable via clock recovery 2.5.1.3..... Not sure if it will even work but I wanted to give it a shot after nandroiding. Do you have any other idea how I can take the battery percentage out thus getting better battery life?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lanternslight456:
How does displaying the % affect battery life, that doesn't make sense.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el-jodio:
Check this thread out if you want to go back to original battery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=852013

Check OP. All you need is Rom manager to flash 2.5.1.2 then you flash the zip for the original battery which is available in there too.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
This is via Option94:

"The battery life decreases due to the broadcast message required every time it changes a percentage and has to call a new image to be displayed."
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Thanks man I'll give this a shot, but I don't know how to undo the file I flashed via this thread that changed my rom manager. Thus I can't get back to the old 2.4.xx clock recovs. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling rom manager but no luck. Any ideas?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
This file didnt change your rom manager at all. If you want to try and use 2.5.1.2 to flash what you are trying to flash, then just go to "All Clockwork Recoveries" and choose 2.5.1.2. Its that easy. That will allow you to flash the old amend scripted zips.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el-jodio:
You shouldn't have to undo anything. I just flashed the 2.5.1.2 recovery from ROM Manager. I also used this mod and I was still able to get it done. Hope it works for you.

Edit: True Blue pretty much said it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mackster248:
Lol sorry guys, I feel retarded now. I was trying to flash 2.5.1.3 but kept giving me an error. Never occured to me to try 2.5.1.2... Anyways thanks a lot!

Hopefully these battery mods work.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el-jodio:
Sorry if I missed something but what exactly did this update do. I flashed the update but after I did my WiFi would not connect. It would say out of range.

I then did a nandroid restore and all was well. Anyone else having this problem? Strange.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
This update didnt have anything to do with breaking your WIFI. It does not flash anything to your system so there really isnt any way that it affected anything. As a matter of fact even though you nandroided back or flash a different rom the changes from this zip are still there. All this zip does is rename and place the recovery in the correct place on your sdcard to be utilized by Rom Manager and make it easier to switch recoveries.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] el-jodio:
Thanks for clarifying that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaleroca:
Version 3.0.1.4

I had a major problem updating my phone earlier today.This thread helped me a lot. So after peforming a recovery, I now have an option to update to clockwork mod Version 3.0.1.4. Should I do this or not? I had a hell of a time updating to3.0.0.6
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Yes you are just fine updating Rom Manager to 3.0.1.4
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pseudoswede:
Instead of this last step, I get the red triangle screen. So I pressed the Vol Up+Power buttons and I get blue text with the following choices...

Reboot system now

Apply sdcard:update.zip

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

In addition, further down the screen, I have the following text:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

If I select to apply the zip, then it says --Invalid Operation-- then reboots normally.

What am I doing wrong?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] klquicksall:
It look like you didn't flash the recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] pseudoswede:
Correct. Following the first four steps here, I realized what I was missing.

If it's not difficult to tell, this is my first foray into installing a custom ROM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] klquicksall:
It happens to us all.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] CB620:
what do i have to do to properly restore my backups i made. im stuck in cm7 right now and somehow the radio/phone is disabled so i think im semi bricked.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You should be able to just go into recovery and restore your nandroid backup. I'm not sure why your radio/phone would be disabled.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] CB620:
when i booted into cm7 it was full screen. i called from my house phone and it rings but there is no option on my celllphone to pick up. so i went into recovery and reflashed and than updated cwm mod and than went to the correct recovery and than restored my original rom.
