Testing it now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] amazinglarry311:
after you flash it pull the battery or reboot and power down and plug it in, let me know...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
hey man can you take a look at the problems some of us were having trying to flash roms? that would be great... I know THEHYPEBEAST has a non working phone because apparently his recovery image bugged out while attempting to flash a rom... now I am guessing he is unable to basically do anything including go back to stock using the pd15 image...

as far as my problem...cwm 3006 recovery gets "stuck" forever while attempting to either wipe or flash...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
seems to be working great. Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] amazinglarry311:
awesome ill open up a new thread.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Thumper1226:
So which clockworkmod do i use to go from royalginger back to royalglacier? And can I use back up files from glacier to restore or do I flash a whole new rom from zip?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smirkis:
this thread is obsolete. use rommanager and update to newest available officially.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kingvaj23:
I flashed this on my old mt4g and worked great, can I flash it on my new nexus s as well using this download link on the mt4g thread??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] irrelephant:
no, no, no! see the post below!!! sorry, wrong thread
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
NOOO!!!!

Root the Nexus S and use rom manager to flash whichever recovery is compatible.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kingvaj23:
Lol ok thanks :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Also, i need to do more testing, but dont try to flash roms directly through rom manager yet. I might have just had a fluke, but i had to reflash recovery in fastboot after i pulled the battery. long story, very possibly user error.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Strapt:
for the record ... i have no idea what the hell you are talking about .. for the record .. I dont know what question you are talking about .. there are no previous posts to you in this thread that i could have possibly responded to you on... again ... for the record.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zeppelin481:
I think you may have taken that the wrong way. He was only saying that what he said was different from what you said.

You said you haven't tried doing any backups/restores with the latest recovery.

He was wondering if the new recovery could restore backups made with a 2.x.x recovery, which Option answered.

I think he only pointed it out because people tend to get put on blast for asking/saying the same thing over and over in a thread. No harm, no foul
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
Great find, also noticed that you can't register with the Cyanogenmod Bot Notification. I've tried a few times, just sits there trying.

Store the extracted image on the root of the sd card and type

[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Weird. I never wipe, so i'm already registered. but i'll see if i can unregister and test.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
well, you were right. Just sits there and says please wait. odd.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Excellent, thank you! That's what I wanted to know. Now I can go back and forth between Sense and cm7 without reflashing recovery. :)

Thanks for the tip, will definitely use fastboot.

Rowr. Don't get your panties in a twist, see above.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant.

I think he's missing the flash_image binary. Will attach in a min from computer.

EDIT - here you go. REMOVE THE .ZIP SO THERE IS NO EXTENSION. DO NOT EXTRACT! RENAME THE FILE. Then push to system/bin and try flash_image again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Jaskwith:
So does this do everything then? Create nandroids etc?

Sent from my MT4G running Gingerbread :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Yeah, but until further notice, please do it from recovery and not rom manager. I haven't had time to test yet.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] leo221:
worked great restoring stock tmobile backup and also flashing CM6 RC2. thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] newbie2006:
Damn mobile terminal keeps saying flash image not found I did extract image to root of sdcard hmmm
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rosebud1:
How do you know if it went through? I flashed in terminal, and when I went to recovery, it still showed .5 version
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
I just did this on the stock rom, use phateless's flash_image file.... Its posted in this thread.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rosebud1:
what did it say after you flash image in terminal?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
Nothing, I rebooted into recovery and saw orange so I knew I was good to go.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
For those of you having a hard time flashing thru terminal. It is much easier to Download my zip and install it than to have to download 2 files and then type in stuff in terminal emulator.

Here is the thread
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Mrdaviso:
This will instal flash_image on a stock Rom? Just wanted to clarify. Thanks
[myTouch 4G Android Development] leo221:
the download on page one is named recovery.img.zip, don't forget to unzip it. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Yes this will work with any rom.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] rosebud1:
so if my writing is orange, but it says .5... so the .6 flash did not work, correct?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
I posted the solution just yesterday in this thread, I think it's on page 3? Look for the flash image attachment.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Correct. Drew's method is easiest but terminal or fastboot are effective if you're comfortable.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
This version is 3.0.0.6

If you reboot and get anything else, it didn't go through. True's zip file will copy (i believe) this recovery and the htc stock recovery to specific folders on your device so that rom manager will flash these for you depending on which version of recovery you tell it to flash. Very simple.

Phateless posted a link to the flash_image binary earlier in this thread. That file needs to be placed in /system/bin/ using root explorer or adb push (or however you're comfortable moving files) and then you can run the command in the terminal emulator.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
You are correct. All my zip does is re-name and place the recovery in the correct place for rom manager to be able to flash it at will with ease, no matter what rom you are on.

Keep in mind if you use "]my method you do not need to install the flash_image binary. You can just DL the one zip file, install it thru recovery and you are ready to select your recovery from rom manager. It literely takes less than 1 minute to install it and reboot and install the new recovery. And it is pretty much idiot proof :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
That's why I recommend Drew's method first. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I only know its idiot proof cause I use it :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
lol.

Fastboot or GTFO.

But the TrueBlue_Drew method is definitely the easiest if your not used to fastboot.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
lol, I use Fastboot myself but when I was a noob there's no way I would have been comfortable with that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] HeavyComponent:
Nice! Will flash soon. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Oscarkb:
So, is the recovery.img need to be in the /sdcard as well?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Nope. For fastboot, just on your hard drive next to fastboot.exe.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Oscarkb:
Thank you very much.

I just copy recovery.img to where fastboot.exe is reside and run the command.

I have to adb reboot bootloader before it will run that commands.

Now, how do I check if I got version 3.0.0.6 flash correctly? It still say 3.0.0.5 under Rom Manager

Ooops, I reboot into Recovery and it said 3.0.0.6

Woohoo!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Glad you figure it out! :)

A note for anyone else reading this thread. ROM Manager only displays the most recent info FLASHED BY ITSELF! So if you change your recovery on your own ROM Manager won't display the correct info.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Tested. It was user error. You can use rom manager to flash.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] twiztidmyt4g:
So we can just flash this in recovery like true blues method?

twiztid
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
No if you use this you need to unzip it and flash the img inside it via fastboot or terminal emulator.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] twiztidmyt4g:
When are you going to make another easy one for us?

Awesome! I can't wait for it to hit ROM Manager. Then I might actually play around with other ROMs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Am I the only one who's noticed that this recovery seems noticeably slower than 3.0.0.5? I'm not complaining I'm just wondering if it means anything.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
I havent noticed anything different but I havent messed with it much. What is slower on it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Cache wipe takes about twice as long. Still only a minute or so but I noticed it right away and it was enough of a difference that I was beginning to wonder if it froze.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
I haven't noticed any difference. Im not saying there's not, just that I haven't noticed.

I'll try and pay more attention as I use it. I usually tell it to do something and then walk away or keep researching. I don't use many functions in it other than to flash new nightlies unless im working on some crazy project, so I'm usually preoccupied anyway.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Yeah I do that for nandroids and such, but since I've been crackflashing daily I've just been watching it wipe cache, then dalvik, then put it down for a min while the rom installs and walk away while it boots.

After flashing 3.0.0.6 the cache wipe took longer than usual. I haven't timed it or anything, lol, but I noticed.

Again, not complaining and VERY GRATEFUL to you for providing this! Just wondering if it means anything. :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
lol...I am a dork. Now that you say that I do remember it taking longer to do the cache wipe than it used to. Still seemed to work good, but it did take a little longer.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
i'll look at the source again tonight and see if they updated anything. If so, i'll build it again and upload.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Thanks Option, you are unfailingly awesome. I wonder if the slower cache wipe means it's not being wiped completely and if it has anything to do with the gps issues?!

Shot in the dark, I know...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
it might mean that it wasn't being wiped before, and that it is now And I could be wrong, but im pretty sure that recovery can have zero effect on gps.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Something like this is what I was thinking.

lol, agreed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jtadeo:
I think I'm screwed... I am stuck in a boot loop after flashing [ROM] eViL 4G-HD v.0.3.2 - Official Port of Desire HD...

now when I go into clock work and select any of the options I just get a black screen with a Hat/arrow icon... please help me!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jmwils3:
perhaps I'm missing it entirely, but are you selecting with the power button or trackpad? if you press the power button in clockwork, it would give you the described result. Press the trackpad to select.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jtadeo:
I'm an idiot.. that's exactly what I was doing...

working on 4 hours of sleep here, I hope that's a decent excuse

thanks anyways!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
You're not the first one. In the beginning, the power button would turn the screen off in recovery and confuse everyone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] kaufmanj67:
Yeah having same problem and trying to flash back to 2.5 wont work tried that too help anyone? Sent email to dev no reply hope to get this worked out soon liked being able to switch roms back and forth
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
install this version of recovery. This is newer than 3.0.0.5, and will allow you to switch between OS versions without having to change recoveries.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
Not sure if this has been asked, but will this flash nandroids made with clockwork 2.x?

EDIT: On second thought, I guess it doesn't matter since I can always re-flash an older recovery in fastboot. Still, would be good to know if it can restore 2.x nandroids.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Yes, this was covered in the first few posts of the thread. Nandroid away!

Ok so lemme see if my n00b brain can get this right.........Let's say I wanna flash CM6.1.2rc2 and run it first I can use clockwork 3.0.0.6 as well as I can still use this same version clockwork when i'm ready to flash CM7 rc1??
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Chilled26:
That is correct.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Paso876:
Ok, had a feeling but wasn't quite sure. Thanks!

It looks like it was just updated today to ver 3.0.0.6 in the market :p
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
This isn't rom manager, and it isn't available in the market.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] eliasadrian:
I just reread this thread and didn't see any mention of sdcard-ext not being recognized. In clockwork recovery 2.5.1.2 it recognizes it fine, but in 3.0.0.6 it won't see it. I notice this when flashing dalvik cache, making a backup, and if I try to directly/specifically mount or wipe sdcard-ext.

Any thoughts or threads that already deal with this I may have missed? Thanks!

That's a good woman! :) For Christmas my gf got me a 32gb sdcard (which I love) and the dock (which we returned because it sucks). I got her a Captivate which is now running Paragon RC6.

ROM Manager doesn't display the correct info. Boot into recovery and see what version it says.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
recovery will always show 3.0.0.5.

Wish I knew why. I think it just remembers the last version it flashed, and doesn't actually check.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
It stores the info on the sdcard of the last recovery it flashed. It has no way of knowing which recovery is actually installed.

What is kind of ext partition is made if you partition your card with this version of recovery? 3 or 4?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] PhantomRampage:
If this is stable then why isn't it available on rom manager yet?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
No idea. I think because its the first recovery that only supports edify scripts, and they want to fix that. Dont quote me on that though.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] chukis13:
When you partition with this is it ext4 or ext3? Since it doesn't give you the option I'm unsure.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] athakur999:
What exactly is the nature of this "charging while powered off" issue?

Does it just mean the phone automatically boots into recovery when it's turned off and you plug it into the charger (which CWM 2.5.1.2 already does for me anyway)?

Or does it mean if your phone is turned off and you plug in into the charger, it doesn't charge period?

I want to give some of the CM7 ROMs a try but I'm a little scared of the prospect of effectively turning my phone into a temporary paperweight if I let the battery completely die with CWM 3.0.0.6 installed and don't have an alternate means of charging the battery directly :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
if you use anything but stock recovery, when you power the phone off and plug it in, it boots into recovery. It still charges, just from recovery.

recovery seems to be broken on my device... CID unlocked, eng SPL, s= off. had to reroot twice because of this... everytime I try to flash a rom it gets stuck either in the begining, or 75% of the way. if I try to wipe cache or wipe everything it freezes now and then have to pull battery- Battery door is lose because I had to pull it 20-30 times already. pretty much if I want a new rom I have to wipe/ flash 3-4 times before everything works...If I am lucky then I get a complete 100% flash if not it just gets stuck for 15-20 minutes. is it just me or what?

MD5 checksum errors on virtually every nandroid restore. LOL and this is the only stable recovery out there that is compatible with most roms -.-
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Have you tried reflashing the recovery? These are really odd issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] _ice_:
no luck brother. downloaded again from this thread flashed through fastboot.

glacier pvt eng s=off

radio- 26.03.02.26_M

emc boot

cid- 11111111

ran- 768 mb

emmc sandisk- 2223MB

those pulled from bootloader system info.

seems to be stuck on formatting /data lol

ehhh it formatted data. flashed the rom, but now stuck on mytouch 4g screen for the last 5 minutes. What I am guessing the problem is that recovery might not have been flashed properly even though it says 3.0.0.6 it might still be on 3.0.0.5 -.- who knows, thats my theory.

any help?

LOL stuck with out a rom or anything....
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
Maybe try and wipe your recovery through fastboot

fastboot erase recovery

then fastboot flash the recovery again. while your there try

fastboot erase system -w

that will erase /system and /data so you'll be starting fresh.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok needing help. I ****ed up and mistakenly flashed 3.0.0.5 via Rom Manager right before I did a full earase and flashed the new RoyalMIUI ROM. Well now needless to say that because I didn't do it in 3.0.0.6, the ROM didn't flash correctly and won't get passed the splash screen.

I'm currently in Fastboot trying to flash the recovery that way...but I keep getting a message saying that I'm

NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS REMOTELY

?

Does anyone know what I should do about this?

Bootloader info:

Glacier PVT SHIP S-OFF

[myTouch 4G Android Development] Phateless:
Type out the command you're using. It should work.

It should be:

fastboot flash recovery c:\path\to\recovery.img

If you're super stuck you can restore to stock via pd15img.zip and start from scratch.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
you get that message because you never flashed the eng bootloader. two options.

1. flash cm7, then flash the new recovery via flash_image (safest way)

2. (not as safe/I'm not responsible if this screws up)download the hboot files from the gfree thread

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NN5726Z8

and adb push to your sdcard. You can do this while its looping.

then adb shell and cd to /sdcard

then type

dd if=hboot_dhd.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

after its done reboot into fastboot and you should be able to flash the recovery
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Psionicsin:
Well I'm already cd in the directory of the recovery.img, so I'm typing:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

&

fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Nothing is happening. Tells me that it can't do it, or can;t do it remotely.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Psionicsin:
Ok I was desperate and attempted something that I wasn't sure would work, but it did. I downloaded PD15IMG.zip and replaced the recovery.img inside of it with this one. Booted into hboot and it read and updated it successfully.

OP...make this into an hbootable zip just in case someone does like I did in the future lol.

btw option I flashed cm 7 latest nightly. it works fine.. I believe the problem is with sense roms... even thought the cwm recovery says 3.0.0.6 I believe its truly not 3.0.0.6 hmmm weird....
