Hi all,
I have a Desire GSM, I've unrevoked my desire using ClockworkMod 2.5 and installed CyanogenMod7 on it.
Works great.
Do/Did I need to upgrade my ClockworkMod2.5 - to 3?
Why would I if I do?
Thanks guys

For our desire, at the moment there is no need of 3.x..u can use the 2.x
I have CWM 3 and sometimes it's a pain when I'm installing zip's and they're not supported. That's the only downside to it 3.0.0.5.
Such as?

The scripting between 2.5.1.8 and 3.0.0.5 is different, so you need flashable zips to be compatible with 3.0.0.5 otherwise you have to use 2.5.1.8 instead. All the Ginerbread roms (I assume all of them but not too sure) can be used in 3.0.0.5 but older stuff like Froyo was built to run in 2.5.1.8 because of the scripting. So sometimes you have to use the older one.

I'm getting prompted in ROM Manager that version 3.0.0.5 is available, but I remember when it first came out it wouldn't let people go into recovery or update their roms/flash ZIP files. Is it safe now? I've been holding out for a while out of fear.
Also, anything new or better from 3.0.0.5 that I'm missing out on?
3.0+ Has faster backups, and updated for the most part, and most important, its running on edify. Not a lot of people are using edify packaging, but if you wanted to use CM7, you have to use CWM 3.0+ or amon_ra recovery.
So if you don't plan on using CM7, staying where you are at is fine.

I already have CM7, but I'm still on 2.6, not 3. So does that mean I should update?
To minimize the possibilities of errors, I would update.
I use 2.5.0.7 and cm7. runs fine, I refuse 3x because it won't touch amend while 2x will still
I have tried to flash InsertCoin A2SD v39. After successful allign 1gb ext3, wipe and succesfully flash the rom, then rebooted. It got stuck at HTC splash screen for more than half hour. Tried to wipe and reflash again, still the same.
So, the questions are;
1. Is latest radio required? I have 5.11.05.27 with PVT4 S-ON
2. Is Amon-RA ver 2.0.1 required? I have RA-Desire 2.0.0
3. Is it required to flash 1.0.5 stable before flashing nightly?
I wanted to try this ROM....currently I have Redux 1.2.
1. I think InsertCoin requires s-off
2. I've always used 2.0.1 and worked fine
3. You don't need to flash stable before nightly
Ok...perhaps i can try with amon-ra 2.0.1. But S-Off...I try to avoid that. Too many things to do.. i have to flash with non a2sd rom, than alpharev.
two ideas:allign EXT3 Not for 1GB, turn a another recovery.
Answers for you questions:
1. Yes, it is required to avoid all radio related problems (call dropping, compass, mms etc) and possible bootloops. However, it may work with your radio, too.
2. No, amon-ra is not required. You can use CWM, too - but newer version required (at least 2.5.1.8 - I'm using 3.0.0.5).
3. No, you needn't to flash stable before the nightlies.

ok davebugyi...i definitely have bootloop because the flash was indeed succesful. But upon reboot...it never get pass the HTC splash screen.
I have PVT-4, so no CWM for me...that is why i have amon-ra 2.0.0.
now that v40 is out, and clearly say that it is recommended with latest radio, I suppose we can assume that it is the radio.
Only way to find out is to try it out...If I'm brave enough.
So this is the plan. Full wipe --> Flash ROM --> Flash Radio.
Sounds alright. Btw, CWM 3x is working with PVT4 devices AFAIK. But don't change it since you have AmonRa.

hi,
I agree with davebuggy, don't mix the recovery...
look at this tuto made by baadnews for insertcoin, all is there.

hope this help you
I have been playing with my Desire for some time now, had different ROMs installed (including, but not limited to CyanogenMod, LeeDroid (2.3), SuperNova), some with A2SD+, some with Data2SD (I'd like to stick with that...). I have been searching for a ROM, that would fit my "demands", like having HTC Sense with at least 2.1, the ability to use Data2SD and to be stable enough to use on a daily basis.
So I came across Cool AceS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1018843), and I really want to try that ROM, but I can't, because CWM tells me "update-script is no longer supported". I can not use CWM 2.5.0.7 because I have a PVT4 phone, and it just does not work, so I updated CWM from 3.0.0.5 to 3.2.0.0 and it still won't work. Is there any way to install a ROM (or Radios, ...) that are not compatible with CWM 3.2.0.0?
Keep in mind, that it's a PVT4 Phone...
AmonRa 2.0.1?
Sometimes clockworkmod has problems with pvt4-desires. I would change recovery system to amonra.
You can download it here:

How to flash a new recovery system:
Method a: http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
Method b: Run unrevoked again, but integrate amonra recovery before (menu>custom recovery>choose downloaded amonra recovery file).
Method c: http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-flash-new-recovery-image-with-adb-windows-pc-411005/
So tell me guys, wich is the best recovery for my Desire?
I just want to intsall the latest and greatest custom roms without having problems with mounting issues or script languages or so. what is the stablest?
So? CWM2.5.0.7 or CWM3 or even 4?
Or should i use amonra or some of the mods?
Thanks
I used CWM, but then installed AmonRA 2.0.1 - it installed everything for me (AOSP, Sense based, Miui).
But if you want to use CWM, I'd recommend 3.1.0.1.
First, check the erasesize of your device: if it is 40000, then you can only use AmonRA. If anything other, it's your choice.
i have one of the first desires with amoled screen and the smaller erasesize.
currently i am using psfmod wich is based on cwm 2.5.0.7 or so.
i know i can use any recovery on my device but i want to know wich is the best in terms of stability and usability and even the one without bugs and the abillity to install all the latest roms.

Check these two threads, they touch upon the same topic and there are many replies.
yeah thanks.
seems like sticking with my current recovery is the best choice till i will reach a point where i need a newer recovery for installing a new rom.
It looks like the htc aria clockworkmod 4.0.1.4 works on the mytouch slide except for it cant install any .zip files such as cm7 nightlies. Could someone try to get this to work? The only stable clockworkmod we have is clockworkmod 2.5.0.1
here is the link to the 4.0.1.4 clockworkmod for aria http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14693680&postcount=1
extra info: aria nightlies work, but of course espresso nightlies is what we need installing
