Can someone please clarify the following in relation to rolling back to 2.2 from 2.3....
If at any stage you need to revert back to a Froyo ROM, you will need to reflash /boot into CWM 2.X via Fastboot.
I get what I need to do to get a 2.3 based rom but dont understand exactly what I need to do to roll back clockwork to v2.5.?.? from v3 via hboot in case I have any issues
cheers
Open rom manager and flash away

Hi,
I am Currently running a Evo with software version 1.39.00.05.31 I didn't take the 1.47 update. I rooted/iinstall custom recovery using Unrevoked3. I want to take the OTA 1.47 so I can then apply Unrevoked 4 ever and then upgrade to 2.2 and maintain root. I downloaded the 1.47 update and created a pc36img.zip file (Used it on another evo) However when I try to flash it, it doesn't work and say something about wrong version. Wondering if anyone has the recovery.img and android.txt from 1.39.00.05.31.
Also if I can't get recovery back can I use Clockwork to apply the update that was downloaded? I would rather not restore to stock and restore all my apps and such.
Thanks

Update the radio via recovery then install unrevokedforever. Or just install unrevokedforever lol
You know your on the very first release of software for the phone right? We are all on 2.2 froyo right now where have you been? I liked 2.1 myself but the fixes alone are worth the updates

Well I'm not sure why you would want to do it that way but if your already rooted using unrevoked 3 (Not Full Root)
Then you can simply Download and apply Rooted 2.1 1.47.651.1 Rom to it or even the 2.2 3.26.651.6 (Most Recent)
But if I was you I'd use Titanium Backup to keep all your data so incase you can't use any recovery in the process at least you can restore it to any Rooted Rom or unrooted.
But to make this much simpler you need to use SimpleRoot that has Nand Unlock Option, also called 3 step Root.
This is in regards to your issue with Main Version Older Error when you tried using (PC36IMG) in bootloader.
If your gonna use SimpleRoot Make sure you have all the files included in your SD Card Otherwise PC36IMG by it self won't work.
Hope this Helps

Short version: Anyone know how I can replace ClockWorkMod Recovery with the stock 2.2 Incredible recovery? I need to take my phone to the shop, and that's the last nonstandard thing I have. I'm back to S-On using the Unrevoked S-ON tool.
Long Version: My phone's internal speaker stopped working after the 2.2 OTA. I was rooted/s-off before the update, but flashed the stock 2.1 recovery to apply the official OTA when Verizon notified me that it was ready. After I applied the OTA, my phone's internal speaker stopped working.
I flashed back to factory 2.1 via this thread: showthread.php?t=757927 (can't post the full link, for some reason, but it's on XDA-Dev), then applied the May OTA, after which point the internal speaker still worked. I then applied the Froyo OTA again (using the official update.zip) and the internal speaker stopped working again.
At this point I decided to just take it in to the Verizon store. I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery so I could use Unrevoked's S-On tool. At this point I have stock Froyo, S-On, but ClockworkMod Recovery. Any idea how I can revert to the stock 2.2 recovery? Reinstalling the factory 2.1 image failed because it's an older version and I'm S-ON. I just need the factory recovery so I can take it into the shop.
Can I just flash a stock recovery using PB31IMG.zip? Can clockworkmod replace itself with stock? Should I just go back S-OFF and reflash the factory 2.1? Do they even check S-OFF? Do they even check the recovery partition?
Flash s-off back and follow the tutorial to downgrade to stock 2.1
They don't care if you have froyo or not.
Once you have 2.1 back, you can flash s-on
Good luck

So I now have Clockwork Recovery 3.x and running cm7. I tried straight flashing the latest T-Mobile ROM (1.22?).
It fails right away. I am not really wanting to unroot or turn S-ON. Is it failing because I am using cwr 3.x and need to flash the 2.x recovery? I thought I read somewhere that to flash a Froyo rom 2.x is needed, and 3.x is only for the GB roms...
Also, if and when I do successfully flash the stock rom, will this remove root/s-ff or the other unlocks gfree performed? And the linked thread for flashing the OTA rom instructs to rename to update.zip... is that only for the non-rooted folks?
And lastly, since the clockwork recovery 2.x has been out there for a while, thread info is quite old. Can i simply reflash the 2.x recovery using ROM Manager?
Thanks in advance.
The 1.22 is just an update zip it is not a complete PC10IMG stock rom that is why it is failing, make sure you have s-off via gfree before flashing a stock PC10IMG other wise it will turn your s-on, there is only a 1.19 complete PC10IMG rom out right now, this is pre OTA.
Yes you should be able to use rom manager to reflash older CWM recovery

Ill try to help a fellow tampa area guy out
the stock rom your trying to flash isnt going to work with CWM 3.XX your need to replace it with 2.XX. flashing a stock rom will not remove root or s-off.
when i go back and forth using CWM from 3.xx to 2.xx i follow these directions... there super easy... and i have never had a problem with it.
1. Install clockworkmod from market.
2. Flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager.
3. Navigate to clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries (or where ever your recovery was downloaded to. This can be done in File Manager, Astro, or Androzip.
4. Mine was "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision.img". Rename it to "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-visionXXX.img" or something obviously different.
5. Download clockworkmod 3.0 from hereish:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893933
6. Move your recovery.img to clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries and name it recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision.img
7. Go into ROM Manager and Flash Clockworkmod recovery, it will say its still 2.5.1.3 when your done. Reboot into recovery and you'll be welcomed by a new orange 3.0

of course you can just reverse these directions to go back to 2.xx...
you shouldnt have to change the stock rom name to "update.zip" just flash the zip like you would any other rom through CWM...
Thanks WarBird! I think I'll just flash the recovery images using flash_image. Can you confirm what joemn said though? If I want to flash the stock ROM, do I need both the PC whatever and the ota?
Also
make sure you have s-off via gfree before flashing a stock PC10IMG other wise it will turn your s-on

This doesn't make sense. Based on this, you're saying that if I have s-on, flashing pc10img will... turn s-on...?

You are misunderstanding me, what I am saying is if you rooted via the old method and don't have radio s-off via gfree flashing a stock PC10IMG will turn your s back on, and what I told you about the 1.22 update zip is correct.

Ah I see. Since I was late to the G2 game, I did use gfree to get s-off as mentioned in my op. Thanks!
If I'm now on the 2.2 US Update with 2.2 Boot SBF, can I/how do I get back to completely 2.1 stock? I know I can unroot, but what about SBF/ROM/etc?

No I dont think you can downgrade from an official 2.2, besides there is no stock 2.1 US sbf you can flash to at the moment.. This is the closest to stock US you are going to get.
Wait - I have a Nandroid of my 2.1 stock. Would that do it or that would put me back in the same place as being stuck in a bootloop since now I have a 2.2 SBF?
u can restore it and after that 2.1 sbf boot only file
and learn to use search function ..or use faq ...more or less all your questions have already been answered ....no need to open a new thread for each trouble u ran into
and for your camera problem ull find an answer for that in jboogies bluerless ginger thread i had the same problem
I've rooted with revolutionary and used 4ext revovery. if i want to unroot and go back to stock, delete custom revovery and s-on again, can i just use official 2.3 RUU and overwrite all ? or its not that simple?
thanks
ruu wipes all root etc it should also remove your custom recovery as ruu reverts phone back to stock settings and software , so yes you can use 2.3 htc dev ruu to to retore you back to stock however you are much better using a 2.2 ruu as 2.3 feels more half baked then 2.2 roms .
if you want to remove su you can try gingerunroot from the market which i think just wipes su and the applicalbe binaries from your phone
