Problem is that there wasnt a actual update to Rom Manager. Just to where it places the file it downloads. If you look in the pick he is on v3.0.0.7

That is why I asked what build he was on and why it is important to give accurate information when asking for help. Had he know what build he was actually on this could have been solved with one post.

Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Oh, the version number of ROM Manager is the same even though they changed the location? Sneaky little bastards! :p

This is a great workaround - when I first started rooting there was no way I felt confident enough to try a fastboot flash.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hammondnav:
First off, thanks for the work Drew. Props for making it quick and painless...

Unlike what I've quoted above, I haven't been able to charge my phone while it's off. It still turns on and boots recovery. It's really not a big deal to me, but if there's any info you need to debug I'd be happy to share.

Rooted + S-OFF

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
You need the STOCK RECOVERY to charge with the phone off.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] hammondnav:
Alright thanks.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
There has been a update to Rom Manager and this method no longer needs to be used to switch from recovery 2.5.1.2 to 3.0.0.5. It can still be used to flash the stock recovery in order to charge your phone with the battery off.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Royalknight6190:
Just wondering, i opened Rom Manager today and there is an update available to 3.0.0.5 if I flash that then I am good to go on installing CM7. I want to try Gingerbread out, been using a Sense Rom, was about to use your process then I noticed the update. Thanks for your hard work and very awesome guide.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] shortskoolbus:
Yes
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rockstarar:
Sorry been busy for a while...removed screens.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
See I dont get it because when i flash 2.5.1.4 it says it flashes successfully, and then when i reboot into recovery it goes to orange recovery...I dont get no stinking red triangle!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
What rom are you running?

If possable I would like you to use a file manager/explorer and navigate on your sd card to /clockworkmod/download and tell me what folders you have there. There should be 4 folders. Do you have them all?

The important ones are koush.tandtgaming and mirror1.kanged.net
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
TrueBlue_Drew - are you gonna update now that rom manager flashes both recoveries?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I have updated the OP earlier today to show the changes made to Rom Manager and this mods primary purpose now would be to flash the stock recovery easily (for charging while phone is off) and then revert back to clockwork recovery easily and without hastle.

If there is something else you would like to see in the OP, let me know.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
Running cm7...and I have all four folders in said directory, including the 2 you said were important.

Sent from my MT4G running Gingerbread :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
No, honestly I didn't look. i should have noticed the thread title changed as well. It wasn't an "official" question, just my own curiosity.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RichieDaze:
I was looking at this thread because I am looking for a stock recovery. I know I can pull a running copy from my device, but there is no sense in reinventing the wheel. You state that this update.zip added the option to rom manager to be able to flash the stock recovery back to the recovery partition gathered by what I have read.

This is where some one without prior knowledge would be suck reading this and not knowing what this donation does. Could you please explain what it is that rom manager does not do.

Maybe like

Rom Manager does not save a current copy of the recovery before flashing a new recovery to the recovery partition.

This update.zip adds the stock recovery.img into the /sdcard files of the Rom Manager making it easier to flash the stock recovery.img to your device using Rom Manager.​

I have also noticed that the recovery.img included in this zip is called recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img. Is this the stock recovery of the HTC Glacier/T-Mobile MT4G? Also if it is, is it a stock recovery for the 2.2 or 2.2.1 Android Version?

I thank you in advance for your help in this matter.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
This zip does not add the option to Rom Manager but only places the Stock 2.2.1 recovery for the MT4G/Glacier in the correct folder to allow Rom Manager to flash it rather than using the the fastboot flash method.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it is pretty clear what this does and why it is here. If you owned this device and ran CwM recovery you would know that this device cant be charged when powered off unless the stock recovery is used. I will add to the OP that this is for the MT4G/Glacier a few more times so that someone from another forum doesnt come in and think that this will work for their device. This zip is device specific and that is why it is posted in the MT4G/Glacier forum and not in the general Android or any other forum.

As stated above this is the stock recovery for the MT4G/Glacier. That is why it is in the MT4G/Glacier forum.

It is the 2.2.1 version.

Now I have question for you.

Please dont take this the wrong way but in the amount of time it took you to search and find this thread, read it, download the zip, pull it apart and look to see whats inside and then to post a response. Why wouldnt you have just pulled a copy of your recovery image or found a copy of one in the G1 forums and used it for what you needed? Are you looking for a way to easily change recoveries?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RichieDaze:
Stupid assumptions!

I own this device also and I am absorbing as much info as I can, to begin my personal modifications.

I tried to be professional when writing, but you still take offense when I asked you a question. My intentions were not to flame you, just a question. Even though I think you deserve it because of your assumptions and animosity towards me. I do appreciate your time, help and work in this section of the forums.

But thank you for your time. :D

For the record, I look forward to working with you in the near future. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Its great that you own this device and that you are searching out as much info as you can on it.

Please dont take what I was saying the wrong way, I dont take any offense to any of the questions you were asking but I wasnt sure if you were thinking that this method and zip would work on another phone.

I can only imagine that the question I asked below is what makes you think I took offense to you questions.

When I asked this it was before I had any idea you had a MT4G as you have not posted in the Glacier forum before that I had seen. Your original post just said you were looking for a recovery. I certainly wasnt trying to be rude or anything but just wasn't sure why. You obviously have the knowledge to push/pull a recovery.

Sorry, sometimes I sound a little a**hole-ish when I respond to stuff. I am not very good at conveying "happy thoughts" in my responses :p:eek:

(if it helps I am the same way in real life :D)

Anyways, if you still think I assumed something or have some animosity toward ya

then I guess you can flame away :p

and for the record....Welcome to the MT4G/Glacier family!!!

BTW...Nice penguins
[myTouch 4G Android Development] RichieDaze:
This was the statement that I thought was wrong:

How would you take this?

No love lost! Thank you for the welcoming.

The Penguin:

Everyone using Android should represent the penguin!

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
With all due respect you're in a device specific forum. It's kind of your bad if you assume it's compatible with other devices.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
This is actually 3.0.0.6, not 3.0.0.5.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Thanks for the heads up. I guess I couldnt see straight before I went to bed this morning. :p

Thanks for putting this recovery together for us!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Koush and zinx did all the hard work. I just compiled it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Well thanks to them and you then :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] grimlockd:
Does anyone have a link to download 2.5.1.4? I'm trying to download a froyo ROM and need that recovery image to do so.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
the 3.0.0.6 file included in this zip will support the froyo rom you need to flash.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fyaajster:
I flashed it check with recovery and it's there, but in Rom Manager I have a four CWM but only two is working. Here is what is in my RM

3.0.0.5 (which is 3.0.0.6 this one work it is the orange color)

2.5.1.4 (Not working there is no Rom when boot into recovery mode getting ! mark.)

2.5.1.3 (same as above cannot even flash through Rom Manager does not exist)

2.5.1.2 ( work but it's not the stock one when boot into recovery it is the Green color)

Did I do something wrong here here the screen shot.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11748051/snap20110216_115613.png

My question is can I get rid of the two that are not working and how do I get the stock CWM

back. Can I unstall Rom Manager and start over to see if I have just the orange text and Blue text only. What are my option here.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You have it working correctly

The 3.0.0.5 recovery choice is actually the latest CwM 3.0.0.6 by option94

The 2.5.1.4 choice will flash the STOCK recovery (with the red triangle and ! point)

The 2.5.1.2 choice will flash the old CwM recovery that is not needed now that we have 3.0.0.6

The 2.5.1.3 choice does NOT have a recovery associated with it so it does not flash anything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] fyaajster:
This is what i see in my RM, if I flash 2.5.1.4 I get the cellphone with the ! cannot go anywhrere have to pull battery off to restart.

If I flash 2.5.1.2 I get the Green text Rec. not blue text Rec.

So what is the green text Recovery for. What I read from the forum is this

Orange text is the latest CWM 3.0.0.6

Blue text is for stock Rom 2.5.1.2

Green text is for what Recovery CWM , because when I flash the 2.5.1.2 I'm getting this green text CWM in my Recover Mode.

All this are done through Rom Manager.

Can you clarify this for me I really appreciate it.

Thx.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Again, this is working correctly.

The 2.5.1.2 is the old Clockwork Mod recovery. You do not need it, so dont even worry about that 1.

To enter the stock recovery please read the instructions in the OP. Here they are in case you missed them

Again please notice the Red lettering that clearly states the way to enter the stock recovery.

You only need to worry about 2 recoveries. Always run the 3.0.0.6 (Rom Manager will think it is 3.0.0.5 but it isnt) unless you want to charge with your phone powered off. Then you can change to the stock recovery (2.5.1.4) for that.

Hope this helps clarify it for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
Got a problem here.

Could this recovery have problems restoring other backups made? I am trying to restore a backup I made, and it says MD5 Mismatch!....I haven't renamed it or anything, is there anything I can do, I really don't want to start all over with this other ROM I run...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
What recovery did you use to make the backup? Did you make the backup from rom manager or from recovery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
I had the default recovery for flashing 2.2 ROMs, and I used recovery to make the backup, and I went into ROM manager, manage backups, and I renamed it.

EDIT: It was a backup for gorillas sense ROM, I had a themed and an unthemed, I named the unthemed VanillaGorilla, and the themed one CarbonGorilla...the Vanilla one restored, but Carbon won't..and that happened to be the ROM...I got customized the way I liked it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Have you ever restored that 1 before? It sounds like it is corrupeted or something. Renaming it should be fine. You could just flash back to 2.5.1.2 via rom manager and try that way. I am making a backup now and then will try restoring a old one but I havent ever had a problem in the past restoring a nandroid that was made with 2.5.1.2 with a known working version of 3.x

Edit:

Ok, i just restored a Nandroid from before Christmas made by 2.5.1.2 (I think) and it worked perfect as I expected. I am thinking your backup some how got corrupted or something :( sorry man
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
this maybe a dumb question..but

Do we need to follow this process now with cwm updated to 3.0.0.7?

i just want to make sure im not messing anything up by not doing this process...i know i have all the recoveries listed when i go into all recoveries
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
Yes, CWM is 3.0.0.6. Rom Manager is v3.0.0.7
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
but if rom manager is updated already...why do the process?

and just to put this out there...ive been flashing 2.2.1(ice glacier) to 2.3.2(cm7) and back twice now with no issues

so is it possible that when rom manager got updated to 3.0.0.7 that it also included 3.0.0.6 cwm?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Not a dumb question at all, but I havent seen a update to CwM (Clockwork Mod Recovery). Are you sure you dont mean Rom Manager 3.0.0.7? If that is the case, then I would suggest still doing this and then changing your recovery to the latest CwM 3.0.0.6 (not available through Rom Manager yet) as described in the OP.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
will do...will be the first thing i update when switching roms

hopefully soon 3.0.0.6 will be included with rom manager soon =)

thanks again
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
To be honest I have no idea why it hasn't been included yet. Zinx thought it was, i think maybe koush just forgot or something.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Upstreammiami:
i dont know now it wont boot to recovery but rom manger says recovery flashed
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
Ok a little update

im reflashing ice glacier to test out something i was having issues with the past few times i was on it..anways

when booting in to cwm i get orange text and at the top it say ClockworkMod v3.0.0.6

and i have NOT done the OP process on this flash...so this is coming purely from rom manager 3.0.0.7

so maybe it was added and nobody noticed? :shrug:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
just tested for you. flashed from rom manager, and got version 3.0.0.5.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Ok, Rom Manager has not been updated to 3.0.0.6 as of the time of this post. Have you ever flashed this zip since it has included 3.0.0.6?

Because the only other way it would have gotten on your sd card and renamed the correct thing is if you put it there. This isnt something that needs to be installed more than once unless a new recovery comes out that we cant access through rom manager and I put it in the zip.

Here is how you can check. Using AndroidMate (free on market) or Root explorer go to sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries and delete the file that has 3.0.0.5 in the name. Then go back into Rom Manager and use the option "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". It will take a few because it will have to download the recovery, but it should flash the recovery succesfully. Then choose "Reboot into Recovery" and check out your 3.0.0.5 recovery :p.

Dont forget to reflash my zip when you are done and flash the recovery again after that so you have the NEWEST CwM recovery :p. And make sure to hit thanks cause this took time away from me workin on the Splash Flasher :eek::p.

J/K, just givin ya a hard time.

edit: option94....lol, u responded while my slow ass was typing again
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
Ah well that would explain it all

yeah i flashed your zip the first night you posted it in this thread and i was under the impression that it needed to be flashed every time i redid my roms...which was totally my fault...used to having to redo everything upon "hacking" something

and as for thank you's...i will hit ya up a few more times for your handy work and i appreciate you hitting me up =)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Its all good, I was just giving u a hard time :D I dont mind answering questions and explaining so that people understand what this does and how it does it. Most of the stuff I have done here on XDA doesnt take a genius to do but can help someone that isnt familiar with some of the ways you have to do things, and make them easier to do. I mean honestly..I have spent countless hours reading, researching and doing things to my device. So if I can help save anybody some of the headache I went through it is a great day!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
not to take the thread off topic

but i appreciate you helping and explaining...its helps a lot of people out...not just the newbies but also some vets

ive only had my phone less than a week...but started reading 4 days before i got the phone and making sure i understood everything...even spoke to a good friend of mine that has been doing this android thing since the G1 a bunch of times just to make sure i was understanding everything clearly

in less than a week ive changed roms at least 15 times back and forth and back...changed some kernels for some of them...done random mods (your splash screen script :D)..just cant get a good feel for one or a mix just yet but soon im sure ill settle

sorry for rambling...but the work you and the rest of the devs and even just members in the "know" is spectacular and most are very helpful which is always a plus when it comes to "newbs" learning the ropes in an established community

[myTouch 4G Android Development] feliciepr7:
It sais in latest recovery: 3.0.0.5 instead of 3.0.0.6! is it like that?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
Yeah thats juat what it says but boot into actual recovery and its 3.0.0.6
[myTouch 4G Android Development] wibul_10:
Any idea, during using stock rom I just update rommanager to cwm3.05 after that for a while my phone just reboot and start bootloader then my phone just stuck in bootloader all bottons are dead volume updown and power botton can't navigate anything on bootloader screen, it's just stuck..any suggestion to make my bootloader back to normal...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
I had installed your latest zip, and it worked as stated.

Since then, ROM manager was updated to version xxx.7. Does this wipe out all your mods ?

When I go into recovery, it is still 3.0.0.6, But wondering if the stock recovery is still there?

If not, I can always reflash your zip if I need it I assume.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You should not have to reflash the zip. Easiest way to double check us to change to the stock recovery real fast. If it ain't there it won't flash it. But it should be so it will :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I'm not sure what you have going on. I need more details. Are you rooted? Have you flashed the zip in the OP?

This mod doesn't have anything to do with the bootloader.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
Since then, they have has two more updates today - lol. But still has 3.0.0.6 as the recovery after updating.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
So am I missing something...cause it shows .7 in rom manager, and .6 in recovery...is that how it's supposed to be? I'm safe to install CM7?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You are safe. I do suggest making a Nandroid backup from recovery (not Rom Manager)

the 3.0.0.7 is the version of Rom Manager

the 3.0.0.6 is the version of ClockworkMod Recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
ROM manager is now up to 3.0.0.9, but still shows current Recovery as 3.0.0.5. However, after first flashing your zip, I still have Recovery 3.0.0.6.

Don't know why they had two updates in one day, as it does not appear anything has changed.

3.0.0.6 installed with your zip is working great.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] futty:
Any other download links? Trying to download off my phone and it doesn't download the full 7.33mb
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
If you are still having a problem downloading I can post a mirror for you.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
When I try and flash back into 3.0.0.5 it says "an error occurred while flashing your recovery"

What's going on here? I'm stuck in Rom Manager 2.5.0.6 and clockwork mod recovery 2.5.1.2
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Ice glacier has a old version of rom manager. Just update it from the market and you will be good to go.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] bballcat03:
I'm running CM7 though, not IG...

*nevermind, didn't matter, updated Rom Manager and was good to go. Thanks*
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PolishDude:
im confused, so if the 3.0.0.6 is set, can I flash whatever rom I want? whether it be 2.2 or 2.3 or do i have to switch to the stock recovery to flash 2.2s?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Freek91:
if your cwm is 3.0.0.6 then thats all you need to flash 2.2 and 2.3 roms
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PolishDude:
okay cool thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] xxpada:
hey from the red triangle screen I do what it says in the OP and I get can't mount cache and recovery command

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Thats a normal error. If you wait a sec it will load the stock recovery.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] gaww:
It has been awhile, but I think that if you are on the stock recovery and get the red triangle, you then have to press vol up and power to get into recovery from that point.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Need help.... I flashed the recoveries zip, then 2.5.1.4 from rom manager. Rebooted into recovery and got a green cricle thing like when you do an ota update. Once it rebooted I am now in a boot loop and unable to flash a recovery because I'm on the stock recovery. How do I get back to my ROM?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I just tested it from Rom manager v3.0.1.0 it is working fine for me.

Give me some more details. What version of Rom Manager? What version of CwM were you using? Have you used this before to switch recoveries?

This doesnt do anything to the Rom, so it would not have done anything to cause a bootloop. I dont know what the update thing is about unless you chose the update.zip option in the stock recovery. If that is the case, I am not sure what to do but I am happy to help you try and get it figured out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Was on 3.0.0.5 running cm7 rc1 with the minimalist theme. After I flashed 2.5.1.4 for factory recovery, I rebooted into recovery and got the ota update screen (green circle arrow around a harddrive icon), then the phone rebooted itself and bottlooped on the cm7 boot screen. I rebooted into recovery again and got the stock blue recovery. I really can't see any other option rather than to do a full factory restore with the PMD15IMG and start all over with rooting again. Luckily I have good backups and it should only take me 20 minutes or so to get back to cm7.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
How did you reboot into recovery after flashing 2.5.1.4 ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] j21blackjack:
Held power button and selected reboot -> recovery

I figured I should have done it from rom manager, but would that really make a difference?
