I can't seem to find a version of this radio
Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17
in a format that will allow me to flash via clockwork recovery.
I tried fastboot flashing but kept getting an error
Any of u seen the version I'm looking for or can create a flashable version?
Forget it. I figured out the issue. It wouldn't fastboot flash cuz I wasn't on the eng hboot. Ooops

Well i wanted to flash the Amon_RA 2.0.1 and that went wrong. After that i can't go in recovery and I can't flash a now one.
If some one can help me.
Thank you
How did you try to flash it? and Why can't you flash a new one? some info please!!
But when changing recovery on desire, there are 2 possibilities:
1. if your phone is s-on, you should use unrevoked like when you installed clockwork mod at first.
2. if your phone is s-off, you should use fastboot commands(boot into fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" recovery.img being the img file containing the recovery)
I did it with unrevoked.
I have S-off but i can't make the flash work with the fastboot.
ok nvm. it works again but i can't make fastboot to work
any how thank you!
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
Alright I have a problem. I bought a used G2 which had already been rooted. I installed CM7 on it and it worked fine except for wi-fi (little did I know the awful path this was about to send me down). I thought this might be because I was using Recovery 2.5, so I switched to recovery 3.0 and flashed CM7 again, same problem. I found out you have to reboot the phone after your first boot to get wifi working a lot of time so that was my fault, I should have researched that more thoroughly from the beginning and I would have avoided this whole ordeal. Anyway after this I wanted to downgrade to Recovery 2.5 again because there are a lot of zips that can't be installed through recovery with 3.0. So I tried to do that and couldn't, I looked around and found that was probably because I didn't have eng s-off which I didn't, I had s-off but not engineering.
So I tried getting that working, this took forever because I couldn't figure out if I was supposed to use the OTA or preOTA.ko file. I discovered my phone was post OTA so I tried using that file and didn't receive the correct error message (Function not implemented), but instead some other error. After researching this and trying to find out why that could be or what exactly the OTA part of it does without a definitive answer I decided to go ahead and run the terminal command for eng s-off anyway feeling relatively safe. This succeeded and I was happy that I'd finally figured everything out! Wrong. I had eng s-off. Also I was able to downgrade the recovery again through terminal, however after doing this and trying to boot into recovery it would just stay at the white HTC symbol. Fine, maybe I can't downgrade to 2.5 after installing CM7. So I upgraded Recovery back to 3.0 and used it to install CM6.1.
After doing this I went into ROM manager and dropped myself back down to recovery 2.5.1.3. Now whenever I try to reboot into recovery I immediately get taken to fastboot. I've tried searching for any others having problems like this without success and I'm extremely frustrated. I tried using different versions of recovery 2.0, I tried updating to recovery 3.0 all without any success, still just boots into fastboot if I try to get into recovery. Please tell me someone knows what my issue could be and how I can fix it, meanwhile I'll continue trying to work it out and let you know if I do. Thankyou.
EDIT: It appears for whatever reason rom manager may actually not be flashing a recovery, if someone could post the 2.5.1.3 recovery.img that would be wonderful
I dont know if you have Andriod SDK set up and if you know how to use Fastboot, but since you have an ENG. Hboot you can use fastboot to flash a new recovery image onto your phone, you can download the CWM Recovery 3.0.0.5 .Img from HERE. Place the new recovery image into the same folder your Fastboot.exe file is and run this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>
There is also a way to flash a new recovery using flash_image method from you phone, so you can download a new recovery from the link above and use this method to flash it.
2.5.1.3 recovery is obsolete, the new 3.0.0.5 recovery supports all roms 2.2. and 2.3.

Thanks, yes I know how to use fastboot, and I did install the 3.0.0.5 recovery earlier, the problem with recovery 3 is that a lot of older zips don't support it and I'd really like that functionality. Any idea on where I might be able to find the older recovery? Thanks in advance
I have a copy of the 2.5.1.3 recovery, I put it in my dropbox for you:

Heres a MD5 checksum for it:

Update for anyone else frustrated by this, I found a tool that will attempt to update your zip to the new edify format. I've tried it on a couple zips so far and it worked both times, they just added support for the G2. Here's the link

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...
Im sitting here with a mate's wildfire, and we want to flash a amend rom to it... But ofcause it fails when we use the latest CWM...

Flash this in CWM3/4:

This will give you temporary 2.5.0.7. Then proceed as normal.
If you want to permanently change your CWM Version, then, you can use Unrevoked (Select File > Custom Recovery Image) if you are not S-OFF, else directly use Fastboot to change the recovery version if you are S-OFF.
Thx, this is working perfectly...
