Hey guys.
When I rooted my phone (around christmas I think), I flashed the clockwork recovery v 2.5.1.4 or something through ROM manager. Doesn't really matter which version it is... I've noticed that there are newer versions of Clockwork now, 3.1.0.1 was just released.
So: Are there any benefits to this newer custom recovery, or should I just not bother with it?
And if I choose to flash it, will i be able to restore my ROMs that are backed up with my previous version of clockwork?
And: how to flash it? Regular flash the .Zip through recovery?
Thanks in advance guys

There are a few new menu options. New script that it runs off so rarely you have to use 2.5.x.x. If you S-On then you have yo flash the recovery through terminal.
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Personally I wouldn't restore backups from 2.5.x.x so make another one if you change.

I am s-on, and thanks for your answer. I won't bother flashing it (or whatever it's called when you go through terminal) then..

I'm not really comfortable with the whole terminal thing. Everything works as it is, i'll just leave it like that

Update thru ROM Manager
I have Rom manager installed but I don't know how to update with it. If I boot into recovery using Rom manager I get the latest clockwork, but if I reboot the phone holding down the volume down then I get the old clockwork.
How do I update to get the same version no matter how I access clockwork.
Cheers

When you use rom manager you are using the fake-flash method.
To update it permanently you need to use unrevoked, or fastboot if you have s-off.

Hey I was wondering if it would be possible to install clockworkmod recovery through rom manager on a temporary root I used androot on my friends slide and I was thinking if I used rom manager to install clockworkmod then tried to install a rooted rom strieght from rom manager that would give him full root

No it will not work. What happens is rom manager sets it to flash via the stock recovery on reboot, but it can't do that without the engineering bootloader, since the stock one doesn't allow self signed update packages such as clockwork to flash, while the engineering one does. You need to have full root to flash a recovery. And also, in case you didn't already know, the mt3gs is s-on so your recovery resets on reboot anyway, requiring you to flash a recovery every time you go to it. There's your answer haha

Yeah they really do. Good news though, we're about to get s-off. Alpharev is close.
I'm trying to make a backup of my current rom and when I go to Rom Manager and choose Backup current rom, it then says can't mount system. I then tried going directly into recovery to try it from there and it says the samething. Anybody else having this problem or is there something I'm doing wrong? When I first rooted my G2 I was able to backup my Stock Rom but now I can't.
I'm running GingerVillain 1.4 if that's any help.

U just have to download the new recovery.img file which u can find in this forum easily....put that file in the root of the sd card....then open terminal on ur phone n type these commands:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
Thats it....n remember to rename the file to recovery.img if its already not that...coz that makes it easy to type n remember...

Then u'll have the new recovery....and u can easily backup and restore ur gingerbread roms....for froyo roms u need the old recovery...for that the easiest way is to flash recovery via rom manager....hope this helps...

hey guys,
got a strange problem , when i try to update the CWM recovery from 2.5.0.7 to latest 3..why does it always switch back to orginal 2.5.0.7 after reboot
I am trying to update it via the update.zip method.
tried the hboot but kept getting the sig verification failed error...
plz help me guys
Because you fake flash it. To do it permanently you can unroot and use unrevoked or s-off and use fastboot.

You can also do it through the terminal app as well if your not S-Off

Yeh. Search the market for it. You want the emulator one.

I have an HTC Desire running Cool3D Aces, and recently decided to flash the alpharev recovery so I could partition my SD card etc.
Since flashing alpharev, I have lost all root privileges and have no superuser.bin or whatever in my system files.
Does anyone know what has happened or how I can fix this?
PS. I've tried flashing all of the superuser files and they do not work.
HELP ??!?!?!?!?
Alpharev recovery?! or Amonra?
Alpharev is for Hboot
Do you mean you used the recovery provided by AlphaRev (which is CWM) or what?

Yes that's what I mean
I'll post some screen shots of the hboot and recovery screens if needed

A flashable zip is, I believe, available on the Alpharev site containing the su binary and other files. Otherwise, you can get root by flashing any stock based rooted rom-teppic74's rom is the one with least mods.

Download the superuser 3.0.7.apk file. (Google the term it should be the first result) and flash it via recovery. Alternatively, you can choose one of the many roms available here.
Edit: download su here. http://androidsu.com/superuser/

I've have tried this many times and it does not appear to work .
Superuser was not found at /system/bin/su.
And now I cannot connect to PC for mass storage to use unrevoke(d) it
