I have rooted my branded desire from tmo this morning using the macardo method, I now need to flash the radio required to flash the new rooted froyo rom, but in the instructions it says that you need to run the recovery-windows bat file in r5 rookit, I have used the r6 rootkit because my hboot is 0.80 and I cannot find this file.
Someone has told me to flash radio using the rom manager and fake flash method, so I installed the clockworkmod recovery which I entered rebooted and installed rom manager, but when I reboot it just goes into android recovery even if I manually enter recovery or if I try to reboot to recovery with rom manager.
also I get the message cant open e:/cache/recovery/command but it was doing this before I installed clock and rom manager
What am I doing wrong
Is ther another way to flash radio

inside the R5 rootkit... when you extract the files you will find it together with the rest of the files named recovery-windows.bat file. just double click it when your phone is at the red exclaimation mark and your good to go.
In ROM manager install first the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it will download the files after that just go to Reboot into Recovery and it should automatically bring you to the Recovery mode where you can flash the ROM from your SD card or wipe the data etc...
Hope this helps. Cheers!

So, I have a rooted Desire, now Im trying to load onto it a custom ROM, for that I need the program which would normally be found on unlockr(dot)com. However I can not download it for some reason! can someone please see if they have it when they were rooting? please!
To install a custom rom you need to have a recovery mode installed. The easiest way is to install rom manager. Then install clockwork mod that comes with rom manager. Upon opening rom manager the first thing at the very top of the app is install clockworkmod. Which then allows for boot into recovery for custom rom installation.

yeah, I've done the clockworkmod, that way I installed my stock HTC ROM, but do I install a custom ROM by renaming the file into update.zip and then doing the same thing?!
thanks you your time!
With clockwork mod you can flash any zip file. No need to rename it. I take it you rooted using paul's old method. Than you can just use fake flash to load the recovery. This is a certain zip file named update.zip, which you flash from the stock rooted recovery. Then clockwork mod is loaded.
IT's not too hard
1. Download rom from xda
2. copy file onto your sd card
3. reboot into recovery
Important part!!
DO A NANDROID BACKUP!!!
i. select backup/restore
ii. select backup and let it rip
iii. return to menu
4. select flash .zip
5. find the rom & select it
guys help!
rooted my DHD successfully using visionary, installed ROM manager and flashed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.3 all fine.
when i boot into recovery i get this:
image 1
and when i try to apply a rom via sdcard:update.zip it says this:
image 2
phone just restarts and nothing is flashed...
I checked for root in Terminal Emulator and it was still there..
Seems you didn't apply S-OFF. Without it everything you do will be undone when you reboot.

he has but as he is S-ON you can't install cwm
but in Rom manager it said I had flashed to CWM 2.5.1.3 successfully....
i haven't done the s-OFF yet, i was kind of holding back on that because the guide said it was "optional"

thats the problem, without s-off you have no write access to the recovery partition, so although rom manager thought you had flashed the recovery ok, any changes made would of been reverted on boot
That was it, S-OFF was applied via One Click, then as soon as i booted into recovery, I had the proper CWM booted.
Thanks guys!
I am trying to update my clockwork mod through recovery, flash .zip, locate the updated zip and flash. It all seems ok with the version but when I boot in the phone and back in recovery it comes the old one. How can I solve this ? Thanks.

if you have s-off you can just flash the recovery image file from fastboot
Use unrevoked to flash it.
You're using fake-flash to run the latest one (or the crap ROM Manager) - as said either run unrEVOked again or, if S-OFF, flash it manually
Hello guys,
I rooted my WF with AlpharevX, I flashed then CM7 nightly build and yesterday CM7.1 RC1. Afterwards I realised that my GPS doesn't work. I wanted to reflash my radio, I have CMW 3xx, so it is not possible to flash it from recovery. I wanted to boot to recovery directly from ROM Manager, where I have 2.5.0.7, but when it reboots I receive only boot image, when I hit the power button I land in Recovery menu but it says, that it is 3xx version. I tried to reflash radio from there but of course I receive error message.
Have you any ideas, why it is like that?
I think, I could try to convert radio with amend2edify and then try to flash it from recovery, have someone tried this?
Reinstall CWM 2.x from ROM Manager. Someone tried to convert the radio file using Amend2Edify, and it didn't work.
Will help in booting to 2.x recovery.
Have u flashed 2.5.0.7 recovery from rom manager. If yes, it will be present in sdcard /clockworkmod/ downloads folder.
First boot into 3.x recovery then install zip from sdcard. Then choose zip from sdcard and selected the path and file. Then it gives 2.x recovery on the fly. And remember radio flashing is sensitive.

thx for answers
2.5.0.7 is present in sd/clockworkmod/downloads, so I try to flash it from recovery and then reflash radio. I know it is sensitive, but it seems that I don't have any other choice. I will reflash the same version that I have, so it shouldn't be harmful. then I will go back to newer CWM Version
done, GPS works
Hi,
I rooted my MyTouch 3G slide with some weird method where I made a gold card and used one-click-root to root it.
Everything went smoothly and I deleted the ESPRIMG from the SD Card and went into recovery mode and flashed the cyanogenmod7 rom but there is no google apps like the market, etc.
I don't even have an option to flash google apps.
The root I did has an s-on..is that why?
Thanks
you also have to flash the latest gapp from CyanogenMod. check here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version scroll to the bottom and download the gapp for CyanogenMod 7. Flash it after you flashed your rom.
sorry for late reply. I don't have an option to flash that. I have the stock recovery area.
You have to download clockwork recovery in .zip form, rename it update.zip, and flash that from the stock recovery, and then you will be able to flash it. With s-on, it clears custom recoveries on reboot, so you have to keep the clockworkmod update.zip file on your sd card root and flash that from the stock recovery before you can flash anything else. Or you can download the alpharev patch and get s-off, but some people find it not to be worth it. It opens up nice options for custom MTD partitions and permanent recoveries though.
