We need new powerful mod recovery like openRecovery in Xt702. It`s install in SDcard and run in nomal Recovery ->Apply SDCARD:update.zip, can fully backup and restore Boot.img and Recovery.img ....
Who is this 'we' you are referring to?
Perhaps you should share which issues you are running into, prompting you to suggest you want a different recovery tool.
You are discussing the same topic we are trying in another topic. Look at the topic where some are trying to create a signed update.zip that can be used from stock recovery. I dont know how far this will take us but its something worth putting your mind if you are getting stuck in process of using tenfar recovery.
Hey, just a quick question;
the CyanogenMod 7 update guide states
'NOTE: the ClockworkMod version 2.5.0.7 installed by Unrevoked3 is widely reported not to work with new "PVT4" batches of the Desire. To find out version of the device: '
I have found this to be true, and two times have I had the problem of having a phone which cannot mount an sd card.
So, what is the most stable version of the recovery for my HTC Desire? In Rom Manager I have the options of versions 2.5.0.7, 2.5.1.3 and 2.5.1.1.
Thanks!
I'm currently using 3.0.0.5 I believe it is, works fine apart from it no longer supports the installation of ROM's/Mods that use the old style install-script.
CM 2.5.1.8 is most stable for me coz working fine, try this
Ok so if I want to use the new 3.0.0.5, all I need to do is download the .zip and flash it like I would a rom through recovery? I actually think I may be using AmonRa 2.0.1; Rom Manager is lying to me - so will i also be safe if I flashed it from AmonRa? Sorry for being cautious; I'm sick of the command prompt.
No. Using a zip file only fake flashes the recovery so it's only there for the one time and when you reboot it it's gone. You need to actually permanently flash the .img file. You need S-Off for this. You can use fastboot or the Android Flasher, either way is fine. Also Rom Manager is gay for the Desire. Don't use it. BTW, I'm using 3.0.0.5 built by Kali. I have the fake flash 2.5.0.7.zip file incase I need it.

Oh ok. Thanks, that was useful! I will probably stick with the recovery I have now and just not use Rom manager then (after all that may be the cause of my problems) , I'm not too keen on S-Offing right now.
So why would someone want to fake flash a recovery?
Hi... I just found that Clockwork Recovery has new version from their website but in zip format. Try to install it through ROM Manager and recovery mode but it is just temporary recovery. Every time I enter recovery mode by pressing power and vol down and choose recovery it is back to old recovery.
Does anyone try this new recovery and how to make it permanent or is it available in img format so I can flash it using Android Flasher.
for your reference please find it here :
hxxp://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.0.0-bravo.zip (please change hxxp into http)
*** sorry for my horrible English and grammar
it is cause you use the fake-flash method, launching CWM 5.0.0 by flashing a .zip file from your current recovery.
in order to permanently change your recovery you would have to be S-OFF and have a .img file of the new recovery
My HTC Desire already S-OFF but where to find this img file of new CWM Recovery?
I have search over Google and this forum but did not found. Is it possible to change this zip file into img file?

Yes but not all file available.
like HTC Bravo only latest recovery in zip format only.
Thanks
Yeah, but as this thread is for v5.0.0.0 then people will want the newest will they not?
someone already did some test?
for example backup the current rom (maybe one with ext partition), then flash an other rom (just for test), and then restore the backup (and see if boots and everything ok)?
i will try later anyway, but of course will be nice to already know if its work or have some problems
Has any one had the edify script error with CWM 5.0.0.0 recovery ?
I flashed CWM 5.0.0.0 today via fastboot and it works fine - however I tried flashing Cool 3D V9 Rom and then when i flashed the boot loop fix & got the edify scripting error does any one know of a work around ??? I did a search and i found some code by coolexe and baadnews but not sure if there is a way to fix this ?

ask the dev to update the script in the flashable zip or flash a 2.x recovery (amend script is no more supported from 3.x and up, only edify is supported)
anyone have a changelog? cant find one anywhere!

follow koush or clockworkmod on twitter..5.x has faster backups (now it used .tar files) and preserve the file system of each partition (if ur sd-ext is ext3, it will be backup and restore as ext3, if u have ext4 it will be ext4, etc..with previous cwm recoveries the sdext was restored always as ext3)
also a new color sheme..now is blue light
edit: new recovery seems available 5.0.1.0 http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-bravo.img
I read from a koush twit :
"Desire and Desire CDMA users: I have just switched you to real flashing rather than fakeflash. You will need to S-OFF. with unrevoked."
so, out of curiosity, how Rom Manager can flash the recovery for real?
I always use fastboot, and i though there was no other way than that and the PB99IMG.zip method..
Someone know how that works (i mean the flashing through an app)?
i'm fine with 4.xxxx

Well there have always been another way just not on desire, since s-on users couldn't write to system or recovery while system was booted. But with s-off using a flash_image script will work just fine, which is pretty much what rom manager does(i assume).
So I asked koush on twitter to change us to native recovery flashing since s-off have been around for quite some time for desire
edit: so for everyone s-off that means: to update just install/open rommanager and press "flash clockworkmod recovery"(tested and working just fine)

Thanks to ur tips, i found how it works!
from the terminat emulator on the phone:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
that should flash the recovery (even other partition i though), without use fastboot and without use the pc! thats nice!
On AOSP roms the flash_image utility is already included on /system/bin..in other roms (like stock ones) it should be downloaded and placed on the phone and used in the same way
that probably what rom manager does
So there is no way to get the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery if we are on S-ON ?
besides rom manager (which I dont use or have installed) is there any other way to flash the new clockwork mod 6 to our devices? Lets say using fastboot and an .img file or something? It seems pretty slick...

In the development forum there is a thread for it with downloads to flash via fastboot.
yes, you could flash the zip from your recovery or by using fastboot flash recovery [your-recovery.img] command.
ninja edit: i'm not fast enough.
Hey All,
Model: HTC One M8 - 0p6b160
CID: TELUS0001
Got a HTC One M8 the other day, I have already dev unlocked it via HTC, but I'm looking to have root and if possible s-off but stay on the stock image.
I've been wanting to backup the recovery image (since there seems to be very little resources for the TELUS001 CID) but from everything I've read this can only be done once you have root using adb and dd. To get root I need to install TWRP or PHILZ.
What I'm not clear about:
Are TWRP or PHILZ replacing the recovery image? Is there actually a way to backup recovery image? or did I miss something.
When TWRP/PHILZ do a backup is it just the current installed state of the phone?
Reading a post on another forum (can't post link cause I'm new) they talk about doing a temporary flash, but I didn't seem to be able to make that work using: fastboot boot twrp-m8-recovery.img
In the future I want to go to Android L, will any of this prevent it?
Thanks

1 and 3. You can backup stock recovery by booting into custom recovery that is located on your computer, instead of flashing custom recovery to the phone. This is already what you have described in Item 3. Is your phone in fastboot mode? The TWRP file is located in the same folder as fastboot.exe? Are you sure you have fastboot connectivity? To check this, type "fastboot devices" (with no quotes) and see if your device ID comes up.
Also, a great many stock recoveries are already posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
This thread also describes the process of backing up stock recovery via fastboot.
2. Not sure what you are asking. But yes, recovery can't backup something that isn't there (just current installed state).
4. Having custom recovery will prevent install of OTA, if that is what you mean. But return to stock recovery and restore any system files altered by root allows install of OTA. Or you can just install a custom ROM based on Android L when it comes out, as custom ROMs are sure to come quickly after L is available. Maybe even sooner than your version's OTA.
