Clockwork update 2.5.0.1 to 2.5.0.7

I am trying to update to the newest Clockwork.
When I apply the update.zip the newest Clockwork appears, but if I reboot the old version appears.

You need to use UnrEVOked to permanently flash a new recovery to your device.

Do I have to update unrevoked?
When i flashed the recovery image it was 2.5.0.1

Yes you do... this is what i did and i got the newest recovery

Hello Foxmeister,
can you please tell us how to install the latest Clockwork 2.5.0.7 on our desire.
Or we just must copy the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip and rename it to update.zip?
Or me must flash the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip via recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1
from this site koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
big thanks

As I said before, you use UnrEVOked.
Just flashing an update.zip of recovery will only launch the recovery one time - it won't actually flash it to your device.
As far as I'm aware, UnrEVOked is the only tool that will permanently flash a new recovery image to your device. It even allows you to choose a different recovery (e.g. AmonRa) if you wish.

Dave

A different question about 2.5.0.7 -
How do I know if "wipe Dalvik Cache" or "wipe battery stats" (in advanced menu) work? I run both when flashing new ROMs and unlike the other wipes, there is no message on the screen that confirm that it was done..
Is my recovery broken?
Thanks

A factory reset in recovery will wipe everything - cache, dalvik-cache and battery stats.

only unrevoked3 does it permanently...
lock in here and you get the newest version in top of the site...

Hi, it was a question how to update the Clockwork from 2.5.0.1 to 2.5.0.7. So, I will write my way of the update.
I just used the ROM Manager from Android Market. Today, when I started the ROM Manager I saw this item:
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7
Just after, I clicked on the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery I chose the HTC Desire and it started to download the new version and flashed it. It was done automatically.
After, I rebooted into the Recovery and I have a version 2.5.0.7. It wasn´t necessary to start any application from Windows or Linux...

Then congratulations. AT my Desire only unrevoked flashed a permanent recovery.
Please shutdown your phone and Start IT with Power +Vol down and look at the recovery Version. How did YouTube root your Desire before?

It is little bit bizarre.
I just did what you wrote. I switched off my Desire. Just after I used Power+Vol down and I entered into Recovery Menu where was a version 2.5.0.1.
So, no permanent flash.
Ok, I rebooted my Desire and I started the Rom Manager where I saw
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7
I clicked on the Reboot into Recovery in the Rom Manager and it started the Recovery version 2.5.0.7.
How is it possible ?

When you hold Power+Vol Down, you will enter the recovery permanently installed on your phone. When you go to recovery from Rom Manager, it loads up the recovery from sdcard, which Rom Manager installed.

there is'nt an update recovery image for 2.5.0.7 so cannot be a permanent flash yet.

[Q] How do I start my Desire hd in recovery mode?

Happy New Year everyone!
As the title says, I'd like to start my phone in recovery mode so I can flash a new ROM on it...being a total noob here, I have no clue on how to do that...any help available please?
Thanks so much

If you have all the pre-requisites (root, s-off and/or radio s-off, clockworkmod recovery installed), you go to recovery either by
a) Enter the ROM Manager app and click "Reboot to Recovery"
b) Reboot the phone while holding the "volume down" button, this will take you to your bootloader. Scroll to highlight "RECOVERY" (with volume buttons) and press the power button to select it.
That's it

Thanks tmh, it looks like I have to "have all the pre-requisites" first then...now how to I do all that...is there any "how to" guide for that?

Quite a few guides if you head on into the Desire HD Android Development forum. There are guides for for rooting, installing eng hboot, radio s-off, custom recovery etc. there. And a nice "glossary" as well, if things like s-off and stuff is jibberish to you, as it was to me when I got my DHD (came from a Hero)
Do note though, that if you updated your DHD with the latest OTA update (firmware 1.72.something), you CAN NOT root it yet, and therefor not install any of the other pre-requisites for installing custom ROM's.

uhmm...I just got it yesterday so I haven't touched any of that stuff yet I guess I need to find out what exactly am I running now and then take it from there...but first of all I have to figre out what "root" means...lol
thanks so much for the quick answers

Then I suggest you start out by reading this thread then, as it explains most of the terms you'll encounter on your way to installing a custom ROM

Don't accept any ota updates either. Otherwise you will become just another user who can't get root.

Hello guys... I *think* i have all the prerequisities, but when I boot into recovery from Rom Manager, the phone just shows me a picture of the phone with a red exclamation mark inside a triangle... any ideas what that is?
Thanks!

thanks, was looking for this

Ah darn, I got it now: I have to press vol. up and power and I get the menu.
However, I have an error message:
E:Can't open cache/recovery/command
Also, the image (filename: r2-update-modacocustomrom-ace-sense-signed.ZIP) does not appear in the list, only an update.zip. So what do I do?
Thanks again...
PS I wiped the cache folder, made sure its empty through ES Explorer, but the same problem persists....
PS2 Current recovery: Clockworkmod 2.5.1.3

You can't be on Clockworkmod 2.5.1.3 because the red triange is the stock recovery!
Are you 100% sure you have permanent root and either radio s-off or eng hboot s-off?
If you only have root, and not some form of s-off then rom manager will report you have flashed CWM correctly but the stock recovery will be restored when you reboot.

Thanks - that was an eye opener! Rom Manager reported that current recovery was the one stated, even after reboot, so I assumed all was correct.
I had used Easy Radio Tool 2.2 a couple of times, choosing the first option (Radio S-OFF, Super-CID and SimUnlock (usual)), and it reported success. Then I tried only doing Radio S-OFF and it worked first time around...
Thanks for your input!

krakout I had the same problem as you. I rooted my DHD installed Rom Manager then install Clockworkmod. Next I tried to back up my rom and got an phone with a triangle sign.
Then I went into the recover menu and it was the stock one not Clockworkmod. I solved this issue by flashing Clockworkmod again after using Easy Radio Tool 2.2 and choosing the first option (Radio S-OFF, Super-CID and SimUnlock (usual))

Yes - indeed, as mentioned above, even if ROM Manager reports that it has flashed the custom recovery, this is not always the case...

[Q] Clockworkmod Recovery system will not install/start

Hi!
i've got a big problem with my HTC Desire Device. I flashed Ginger Villain 0.6 (or so) some days/weeks ago and updated to 0.8 some days ago but forgot to wipe data&cache. Today I tried to start the clockworkmod recoverysystem to restore my nandroid backup from Ginger Villain 0.6 (because of a note stored in "note everything" which wasn't working anymore after the update to Ginger Villain 0.8.
When i try to start the recovery system, i only get a red exclamation picture. I did a factory reset and then ROM Manager was gone and I wasn't able to reinstall it through market. I managed to install ROM Manager trough a manually downloaded .apk file. When I start the ROM Manager and install the Recovery system, everything goes fine but (i choose my device, get the message that ROM Manager where granted root priviliges) but when i try again to start into the recovery system i get the red exclamation mark again. I also tried to run unrevoked3 again, it pushes the recovery system and then it says that it cant get root (firmware too new?) anyway i have root privileges, it seems that error message doesn't matter.
any advice?
thank you

do you have s-off, you could try reflashing the clockworkmod recovery from fastboot
someone else reported clockworkmod just randomly dissapeering and it was the same rom too :/
hope theres not a bug
if you dont have s-off then the only thing i think you can do is reinstall an RUU, Re-root it and then restore the nandroid

Thanks for your reply. Whats s-off? How do i reflash the ruu? With the original exe from htc website?

just realised something, you mention rom manager quite alot
have you tried accessing recovery via hboot?
voldown+power then select recovery via volume rocker and select with power button.
what version of hboot are you on? did you use unrevoked to root the device or an older method?

Yes i tried accessing recovery via hboot, its v 0.80 i think. I rooted my device with an older method than unrevoked, but i dont remember how

I verified my hboot version: 0.80

ahh ok this makes sense now
you used fake flash to get to recovery
your latest rom does not like fake flash boot from rom manager ive seen this before)
so basically you need to do the following
download this file
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5684959/stuff/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip
rename it to update.zip
place it on the root of your sdcard
boot to recovery using voldown + power (then select recovery with vol down and press power)
when you get to the screen with the exclamation hold vol up and press power.
you will be greeted with the blue engineering recovery
select apply update.zip and it should take you to clockwork mod where you can restor/backup what you need
you problem is that rom manager doesnt like the new build and because youve not used the original root method for so long you have forgotten
you can find someone with the same problem here

Hi! That sounds very good but i haven't had time yet to try these steps, i'll report back soon.

[Q] Problems flashing CWM after AlphaRevX

Hi,
Recently I turned my Wildfire S-Off with AlphaRevX. After Rooting with SuperOneClick I tried to install CWM 2.5.0.7 with Rom-Manager.
Rom-Manager itself told me everything went right. I tried to boot to Recovery, BUT:
Just got a Red Punctuation mark and after pressing Vol Up it said "Command not found in /Recovery/ "
Is this a known problem?
I think I can try to flash CWM via fastboot, but i'm not sure if I should do that.
The big question is: Are there any known problems with CWM 2.5.0.7 and HBOOT 1.01.00002 (don't know, but I think thats my version) after flashing via Fastboot?
Will it be possible to use Rom-Manager to install Roms?
Thx
BBsan

The same here.

How are you trying to access Recovery Mode? If you use the conventional Vol Down + Power, it will not work, and, as such, can only be accessed when you select Reboot into Recovery from within ROM Manager.
Anyway, Getting CWM from ROM Manager is more like a "temporary / secondary" way to get it. It is recommended to use Fastboot to write a Recovery directly to the NAND. Using it will not have any issues (Did it personally).
Lastly, your HBoot will be 6.01, after using AlphaRev X. There will be no issues using v2.5.0.7. The problem is, you will not be able to install Gingerbread ROMs, and, if you install v3.x.x.x, you will not be able to install Sense Froyo ROMs and Radios. Hence, the recommended technique is to Flash a Clockworkmod 3.x via Fastboot (ie in your NAND), and, Flash Clockworkmod again, but via ROM Manager to get 2.x. So, you have both,

Okay thx alot, I'll try tonight.
What Version does unrevoked flash by default?
I've got a second wildfire with old HBOOT and was able to flash CM7 without any problems via Rom-Manager.

Interesting.. Though I personally keep ROM Managers CWM as a Secondary one, more so, because one needs both 2.x and 3.x these days.
ROM Manager flashes 2.5.0.7 by default, although you can change it if you need to.

Hmm okay So I'll try and post if I succeeded
EDIT:
OK everything now worked fine THX for help!
EDIT2:
I was able to install CM 7 with 2.5.0.7!

[Q] Problem with CWM 5.0.2.0 stable installation.

Actually, I got no place to post my question. So, I thought of starting a new thread.
I have installed CyanogenMod 7 on my HTC buzz by downgrading its stock rom as it suffered a OTA update before. I guess you guys r well aware about the process.
During the downgrade, my phone got Revolutionary CWM 4.x.x.x by default. In fact, I have flashed CM7 using revolutionary.
Now, CM7 comes with ROM Manager built-in and I tried to install CWM 5.0.2.0 recovery right form the GUI. The update.zip was downloaded. I could update it manually form my recovery options.
But, it was not stable. Each time I boot into recovery, Revolutionary CWM shows up, instead of CWM 5.0.2.0. To use it again, I have update the package each and every time.
Is is quite normal? Or, I am missing something? Plz help with advice.:crying:

I did this via Rom manager. Not through Recovery.

Yes this is normal for ROM manager as using ROM manager is only giving you a temp recovery over your stock ( in your case revolutionary cwm ) to get the cwm 5.0.2.0 you want you need to get either a PC49IMG.zip version of the cwm and use the boot loader method, use ADB/Fast boot method or use the terminal emulator method.
Tutorials are all over the wildfire thread and so are the necessary files etc.

That what u have to flash is temporary.
For permanent recovery, copy the recovery onto your pc.
Turn on the willy in hboot mode, goto fastboot connect usb
Type fastboot flash recovery name.zip
here name is the name of recovery zip AS IT IS.
