[Q] i'm using two recoveries at once...

I dont think i need them both,
I originially had clockworkmod after rooting with unrevoked,
then i installed amonra to split the sdcard,
now i want clockworkmod so i can flash unsigned roms.... so i used rom manager to flash it, done so about 10 times now, it says that i have it installed, and i can get to it only if i boot into recovery from rom manager, if i boot into recovery any other way i get amonra..
its not a huge problem since both recoveries are working properly, but id rather just have clockworkmod because im never going to split my card again..
anyone know how i can remove amonra and install cwm?
thanks.

If you are S-On you will have to use unrevoked to get back to ClockworkMod.
If you are S-Off, you can use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
By using ROM Manager you have installed ClockworkMod using the "fake-flash" method. It was how recoveries could be launched easily on desire before unrevoked cracked it!

Thats because ROM Manager uses a fake-flash so it will load CWM but when you boot from HBOOT it will use AmonRA as it's the permanent recovery
AmonRA is a better recovery and does the same job as CWM so just use that

Ooooohhhh I see, are there any negatives to using fake flashed clockworkmod?

No, it's just ROM Manager is a fail like that
(I don't like it in case you haven't guessed)

It just means that clockwork mod is not actually installed but just a update.Zip on the SD card which launches clockwork mod wheh flashed.

What version of amonra recovery do you have? It should be able to run unsigned zips.

1.7.0.5 r5 or something like that, it doesn't like unsigned.

Thanks but not working phone boots up fine just can't get into recovery.

Got it to work had to flash an older recovery.

Root + Flash Recovery was successful, but can't flash any roms?

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.

not true, the nand protection is only inplace while the device is booted not in recovery.

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!

[Q] Different Clockwork Recovery Versions

I have a rootet Desire (via unrevoked) with s-off and Oxygen 2.1.3 ROM. I flashed a new clockwork version (3.0.0.5) .img file via ADB. If I boot my phone and enter the clockwork recovery the new version is used. If I reboot the phone using ROM manager it enters the old version of clockwork recovery.
So I think, I have 2 recovery versions on my phone. How can this be avoided? I just want to have the new one.

Found this in Cyanogenmod forum.
CWM 3.0.0.5 is permanently flashed so it's always there. 2.5.0.7 is a temporary recovery as when you reboot with rom manager, it uses the zip file that comes with it

ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7 BML Officially supported by ROM Manager for Epic 4G

I downloaded ROM manager, flashed CWM as instructed. I then booted to recovery but the ACS CWM beta was still there. Am I supposed to flash it in recovery mode?

It will only change cwm via rom manager, you will still have your old recovery on three finger boot.

If you flash the zip using your old CWM it will replace it. You cal also odin the tar version. Either will work with 3 finger salute.

Flashed it, but now can't mount SD from recovery. I'm on EI22 stock rooted. Do I need to re-odin everything? Thanks.
