[Q] Why is my clockworkmod reverting to 2.5?

Everytime I flash the the new zip version (3.0.0.5) and then reboot, it reverts back to the old version.
Thanks!
Device: HTC Desire (S-On)
ROM: Gingervillain 2.1
Radio: 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
RIL: HTC-RIL 2.2.0131HM

How are you flashing?

Off thou flash it through recovery your just fake flashing it. You need to actually flash it through fastboot but you need S-Off. There is a way to do it without fastboot. Just Google it. You use the terminals emulator instead. No idea if it works though

as meaple has said, its only a fake flash, so it doesnt actually flash it.
i couldnt get it to work through the terminal method either due to protections (s-on) but i have now s-off, so it let me flash via fastboot first time

Can I do it with unrevoked or do I have to s-off? (assuming i won't make it with the terminal)

I've never been s-off and I flashed it successfully during rooting with unrevoked.

yes you can do it with unrevoked, but you would have to unroot first, and then go unrevoked with custom recovery

hi, i have the same problem, but i am s-off
i tryed to flash via android flasher, fastboot, an via recovery with the .zip file.
everytime the same Oo

Are you sure your S-OFF?
Because then it should work!

Zip is not what you need. You need to get an img file of the recovery you want to flash. You can then do that via Fastboot or Android Flasher etc. Flashing the zip from wherever is still just fake flashing.

No. you don't have to un root. You can flash unrevoked on a rooted device
If you are s on, use unrevoked. Else use the following from fast boot:
fastboot flash recovery cwm_.img

AmonRA install

Hi
I have a PVT4 Desire and would like to do a back-up before i s-off (which cwm doesn't do hence installing AmonRA) so i can install a custom rom. I've already rooted it so i can't use unrevoked to flash AmonRA as it says the firmware is too new. Also i've tried using terminal emulator to flash the recovery but it says flash_image:not found.
How else can i flash AmonRA?

Here is a useful how to:

use the attached update.zip as a fake flash method, it is amonra recovery 1.7.0.5. just put it on ur sd card.
push vol down+power, go into recovery and when you see the triangle push vol up+power and then you ll select flash update.zip, it will take you to amonra recovery

How many times did you run unrevoked? Sometimes you have to run it a few times before it will work.

have you tried to push it using the android flasher utility...ill find the link for it

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638&highlight=android+flasher+utility
there you go mate..dont know if it works for pvt-4 ...so simple to use i used it to get amon ra because i had the same problems with unrevoked

That will not work because he is S-ON

@MatDrOiD i've tried using that method but it says flash_image: not found.
@thanito thanks for the file but when i went in to recovery and did apply sdcard:update.zip or install zip from sd card it stayed on CWM and didn't change to AmonRA.
@bailz2506 i haven't s-off'd yet i need to make a nandroid back-up first just in case before i can and CWM won't do it for the PVT4 Desire.
Isn't there a PC36IMG.zip for AmonRa for the Desire like there is with the other devices so i can do it the bootloader way?

hi mate,
at the beginning meet same problem... phone rooted but unable to do nand backup
E:misc error file doesn't exist... blablabla
i solved this by rerooting the phone with this cmw3.21 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/reflash_package3.21.exe
once done, i succesfully made a nanbck.
first i s-OFFed the devices and afterwards flash the recovery with fastboot to install Ar 2.0.1
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.1.img
hope this help sorting this

@fragargon nope that didn't work,it still stayed on the same CWM and didn't differ.

@aamir007: Do you have another update.zip file in your sd card?
Did you flash CWM through rom manager?
If so try to delete the file first and copy the one i attached you in sd root.

Oh,man!you can use the pb99img.zip into hboot,it will let you to update

Don't say things that have nothing to do with this.
What you could do is return to stock. Then run Unrevoked again.

@Thanito I tried it again and deleted the existing one but still no luck
@Lennyz1988 Guess i'll have to do that. Is there any RUU i should avoid using that will update my hboot and make it unrootable. I've made a goldcard so i shouldn't have any problems flashing the RUUs.

hi aamir007,
amazing that didn't work, it was working and got a pvt4 also.
assuming that you are still on cmw (don't know your version) could you try this one
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22152187/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.8-bravo.img
just launch unrevoked select first the menu and custom recovery (browse to the one downloaded) make sure that "disable security on phone is checked)
should get sorted of this, it was for me.
about RRu depends the rom you have settings/about phone/software you could see all current version rom and radio running on your phone which matter for rru
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Bravo
hope this help

@fragargon I tried it again and this time UnRevoked said is the firmware too new like it does when i try to use it to flash AmonRA, and still on CWM 2.5.0.7.
So i'm going to flash an RUU do i need to flash the same Baseband or lower to make sure its still rootable and the hboot doesn't change.

Try to use unrevoked 3.2 (also integrate amonra recovery) for rooting:

The ruu you flash should fit to baseband.

For a nandroid backup do you need S-OFF?
A friend has a PVT-4 and is using CWM and his backs up fine but he said you need to S-OFF first.

You can nandroid backup and restore without s-off.

Solved my problem, i S-Off'ed and installed the AlphaRev CWM during the process and i can preform a nandroid back-up perfectly fine

[Q] Enraging clockworkmod error

Hi guys
I'm getting an error anytime I try to do something on my orange-branded Desire. It won't wipe data/factory reset and it won't install a rom/zip.
==========
assert failed write raw image("tmp/boot.img"."boot" e:error in /sdcard/rom.zip status 7
==========
hboot v = 0.93.0001
clockworkmod v = 2.5.07
Any ideas guys? Thanks.

Which hardwarerevision does your desire have? You find this out, when you boot into hboot (start phone with pressed volume down and power button at the same time) and read the number in the first line behind the "pvt".

ship s-on
PVT4
hboot 0.93.0001
microp - 051d
touch panel - synt 0101
radio - 5.10.05.30
Tried flashing a different recovery image via clockworkmod and it failed at getting root, complaining of a possible newer firmware revision, which isn't the case because I rooted it a day ago, and superuser permissions app is in the appdrawer.

Clockworkmod does not work with pvt4 desires. You have to flash amonra recovery. Download it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20471345/SUroot/Tools/Android/Recovery/recovery-RA_2.0.1.img
Run unrevoked again like before, but now integrate amonra recovery before:
File>Custom Recovery>choose downloaded amonra-img.
After this is finished, try to flash the rom you want again.

Thanks, but I tried that, it fails at "running root", possibly because it's already (semi?) rooted. Superuser is installed.

Hm... i hope, you can also boot into recovery... another idea is to flash recovery with this method:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/
Last idea, if you used windows, you could try linux:
http://rootmydroid.co.uk/guides/desire/howtolinux-root-your-desire-using-unrevoked-in-linux/
This method works for somebody in cyanogenmod forum:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/7766-flash-recovery-image-from-pc-via-usb/
If these things does not work, i am finished with my knowlegde. Maybe another one has an idea.

hi,
i got the same issue at beginning.
i did unrevoked 3.21 with 2518 cmw, i made i nanbck and was ready to s-off
it s only when s-OFFed that a flash amonRA 201 (i did it with fastboot)
so hehe is the link (before starting the process look at your app manager if an app called Zysploit is in - if so uninstall that app) then run unrevoked linked

Thanks guys, I will try both of your suggestions.

Recommend fastboot method
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery "imagename".img
You can also wipe everything from here. More on fastboot here:

I thought one could use fastboot only if one is s-off.

Would this work?

Correct. Missed that bit...!

If I could somehow unroot it and return it to stock, then I could re-root and flash Amon-Ra instead of clockworkmod, which I am assuming would achieve S-OFF too?
Only thing is it's an SLCD Desire (I think, going by the HBOOT) and so I don't want to slcd-brick because I don't have a gold card or anything to restore it.
Or perhaps AlphaRev could help me solve all of my problems?
I really don't know at this juncture

Create goldcard with linux:
http://www.nazriawang.com/2010/04/how-to-create-goldcard-with-ubuntu.html
Then follow this guide:
http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/
Now you are back to stock with s-on and you can run unrevoked with custom recovery (amonra) again. Now, to get s-off you need to use alpharev:
http://alpharev.nl
Nice video tutorial (step four):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
No warranty for any damage.

Can I skip the first two steps and just go straight to alpharev? Then I can install amon-ra and then use that.

According to this tutorial you could skip the first two steps.
But i do not know it with 100 percent.
So i recommend to ask the alpharev guys in irc. They will help you.

Why cant I get the newest CWM on my desire?

I bought a desire from someone.
He had gingervillain on it, but its stock hboot and s-on im assuming
anyway, I have the newest ROM Manager and when I click to flash CWM it downloads and says it flashed version 5.xxx but when I boot to recovery my CWM is always something like 2.0.5.7
I cant boot version 4 or 5 of CWM

u need s-off to flash the recovery with the latest rom manager
anyway the 2.5.0.7 is still one of the best working recovery

Yes. But since revolutionary came up this is not really a problem.

It has to be on the root of your sdcard (in no folders) and be named exactly PB31IMG.zip
It should work, you are s-off right?

i used unrevoked to root, and im s-on... i thought i was s-off... whats the difference exactly? i know thats a noob question but i never really understood the difference, i just know i rooted it ha.

S-off dissables hboot security allowing you to flash custom recoveries, raidios, and splash screens thru hboot. It also makes it easier to re root your phone should you some how loose root or need to remove it.
Root is a way to provide you superuser permissions, so you can access all system files and functions from within the android os.
What software version are you on now?

okay thanks for clearing that up for me.
i am currently using, hboot-0.92.0000
and clockworkMod Recovery v.2.5.1.2
cm7.1 nightly i think its like android 2.3.7
and i rooted with unrevoked mac osx.

bump.......

Hi
I had the same problem on a Desire. Have tried aloth of things, but was stuck on 2.5.0.7 of ClockWorksMod Recovery....
I have now switched to S-OFF - using the Revolutionary tool.
And have now been able to update teh ClockWorksMod Recovery to 5.0.2.0....
I had to change rom to cm7 - but you are on that.
I was on ISC 4.0.3, but the Revolutionary tool didn't work with that rom (or the version I was using)....
Hope this will help you in the right direction...
