Wrong Forum.
Oh and I was going to help you but, with both being in the wrong forum and double posting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741225
I'm not going to now.
You installed the wrong Froyo, I think. Install this and you won't need to worry about recovery or rooting stuff. You can get radio updates automagically.

This breaks root, so be careful.

Umm...you're actually TELLING him to install a ROM that will make it impossible for him to root?
Lol, I think his intentions aren't all that commendable...
Just boot up and run cw then reinstall recovery if still does not work flash alternate at bottom then install cw at top

I got some problems after using revoked last night.
I followed the guides on the forum and looked through quite a few threads about my problem but couldnt find anything about it.
I did the hboot usb driver first which worked.
Then i did the unrevoked root which i think worked, looks that way.
Now i'm following the unlocker guide on how to flash.
But the guide is not following the stuff i get.
When i press volume down and power i get into the boot loader.
I select fastboot, but then there is no option to recovery as the guide says. I do however have a recovery on the first page that loads.
if i use the first page recovery i get into a clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.7
i do as the guide says, and wipe data but at that stage the screen just goes black. If i press power again i come back to the first clockwork page and nothing seems to have happened.
seems to be the same with every option i choose.
So got a few questions.
1. How can i check my phone is actually rooted.
2. As i understood it it's not possible to back up the original rom? Is this correct?
3. If it is possible how can i do it?
4. What might be the problem with the flashing, clockwork etc? Am i doing something wrong?
Hope some one can help with this as i want to test how the new android version that came out is for playing games as i'm a ceo of a new android game company
Your phone is rooted.
You can make a nandorid (Backup in recovery) now.
There is no problem you just need to use the trackpad when in recovery. Both to navigate and to confirm.
doh, thanks, had totally missed that about the trackpad ie i'm noob
Hi
I rooted my htc desire with unrevoked method and entered clockworkmode recovery and made nandbackup. After reboot my htc deisre hang with logo on boot. I can stil acces bootloader and clockworkmode recovery. Whats wrong?
This is quite common.
You can do a full wipe and restore the backup you have made.

tnx for quick reply, if i do that do i lose root i have just made with unrevoked? i rooted my htc only to remove unnecessary like wether, news etc.
No, you will keep root.
Just restore the backup through clockworkmod.

[MOD] EZ Clockwork 2.5.1.2 Install>Easily flash to 2.5.1.2 to flash old mods/themes
THIS IS FOR THE MT4G/Glacier UPDATED 04/22/2011
The primary use for this mod is to be able to easily switch between CWM Recovery 3.0.2.4, 3.0.0.6, 2.5.1.2 and the MT4G/Glaciers stock recovery.(Thanks to Amac1222 for the idea of adding the stock recovery to this)
In order to flash a rom or mod you must be rooted and running a recovery other than stock. With this zip, you can install CWM 2.5.1.2 so that some of the older scripted mods/themes will work. This zip also still includes CWM 3.0.0.6 and the stock recovery for anyone that wants to run those recoveries for some reason.
Using this Mod/Method you can switch between the latest version of CwM 3.0.2.4, 3.0.0.6, 2.5.1.2 or the stock recovery with the push of a couple buttons(you cant flash things from the stock recovery).
This zip does not modify Rom Manager in any way but only places the both CwM v3.0.0.6, v2.5.1.2 and the stock 2.2.1 recovery image in the correct spot on your sd card and renames it in order for it to be flashed using Rom Manager.
Instructions for use
Make sure you have the newest Rom Manager installed. This is included in most roms but can be found in the market also. The free version works fine..
Download the zip at the bottom of this post and place it on your sd card.
Open Rom Manager and choose "Reboot into Recovery"
From recovery flash/install the zip file you placed on your sdcard.(If you downloaded straight to your phone you will need to go into the download folder first and then) choose "Recovery_2.5.1.2_to_RomManager.zip" and install it. No need to wipe anything.
Now reboot your phone and then go back into Rom Manager and go to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" This is where you flash the recoveries from.
To flash CwM 2.5.1.2 recovery just choose the option for 2.5.1.4
To flash CwM 3.0.0.6 recovery just choose the option for 3.0.0.5
To flash the stock recovery just choose the option for 2.5.1.3
Rom Manger will not show the correct matching "Current Recovery #" after using this. ie: It will say 2.5.1.4 in Rom Manager but if you boot into recovery it should be 2.5.1.2
You can now boot into recovery. (If you chose the 2.5.1.3 option hold volume up and power button at same from the red triangle screen to enter the stock recovery)
You should now see the new recovery.
CWM 2.5.1.2 Recovery has GREEN text
CWM 3.0.0.6 Recovery has ORANGE text
Stock Recovery has BLUE text
Keep in mind that you can switch recoveries easily in order to do things like flash that quick mod that has a old script. Just dont forget to flash back to the correct recovery when you try to flash a rom again.
Please hit the "THANKS" button if you are using this and want to show your gratitude.

Thanks for staying so on top of keeping this updated Drew! This is definitely the most user-friendly and accessible method for the newbies. You should email the developer of ROM manager to see if they can build in an option for Clockwork 3.
This is exactly what I was going to ask CM7 thread. Die looking for the stock recovery to re-calibrate my battery. BIG THANKS!!!

I dont think it will be added into Rom Manager anytime soon but I could be wrong. Our phone is one of only 4 or 5 phones that require a different recovery to run Gingerbread so most phones dont have this issue. Until most all of the roms require 3.0.0.5 type of recovery to flash, I just dont see it happening. I think Koush is far to busy with other things right now.
Awesome work, Drew, downloading now. I had just received my millionth MT4G replacement (yes, I am searching for the highly elusive perfect MT4G), and was attempting to get it set up for CM7 over the weekend, and although I had used your method before and was able to get it working, this time it wouldn't work, and I finally got it working through procedure 3 on the other thread, I believe, by Phateless. Hitting the thanks button now, and I appreciate your keeping on top of things. Cheers =)
I appreciate the thanks and I'm glad its working again. I just found out the other one had stopped working last night and I couldnt edit the post with the fix since the thread it was in had been closed. At least now if we run into any more issues everyone has a place to post and let me know.
Good luck finding the MT4G for you. I got lucky, mine is as close to flawless as I think I can get. Good screen, can OC to max with no probs. My back button does creek sometimes ever so slightly but I do push it like 20 times more than any other button so I can live with that.
Thanks again for using this mod!!

You only would need to change the recovery if you want to flash a rom that isnt compatable with the recovery that you are currantly running,
For example if you are running a rom like Ice Glacier and Clockwork recovery 2.5.1.2 and you want to install CM7. You cant do it without flashing ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 first. Same thing if you are running CM7 and Clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 and want to install a Froyo Rom you must flash back to 2.5.1.2 before installing the rom.
You can do both of those things from Rom Manager by following the instructions in the first post.
Once you have installed the zip you should not have to install it again. It places the recovery images on your SD card so they shouldnt get erased when you flash a different rom.
just kidding on the download link being broken, awesome job it works great!

Link wasnt broken but Mediafire doesnt play nice if your downloading str8 to your Phone. I replaced the link with a different one so try it now.
Thank you so so so muccch!!!! It worked like a charm. But wow to think I was putting up with ice glacier cuz the process of going to cwm3 just seemed so inconvenient, boy did you make things easy.
And wow cm7 is the ishhh. I can't believe how smooth and fast everything is. And its like customization galore. Again thank you so much.

Great idea putting the stock recovery also - thanks. That makes it much easier to deal with if there is a need to convert back to stock to return a phone under warranty.
I could not see how I had gotten the ROM Manager update however, as I had never seen it coming through a market update. Then I recalled it comes with the newer Builds, so apparently the new Manager one is in them now.
Update - Installed this on another MT4G I got for a Family Plan member ($49.95 with two year extension). I had it flash CMW 2.xxx, went into recovery (green), and then booted back up. Open modified ROM manager, flashed back to "2,5.1.1" and booted back into recovery.
Got the (usually) dreaded red triangle, and then vol up/power button - and there was the old stock recovery in all its blue glory!
Going to leave it that way for now unless I need to flash some more zip files before I ship it off (recipient is 2600 miles away). I don't want to have to deal with the boot-up to recovery when connecting to the charger when device is off issue.
Again - great work

TrueBlue - I think this note might be useful to add to your guide. As a noob to all of this i didn't know you need to press VOLUME UP and then POWER in order to get into stock recovery the first time i did it. It scared the crap out of me and i thought i bricked my phone!
So it might be helpful for people who are doing it for the first time to know that the phone and hazard sign are expected.

Actually it is in the OP right where I tell you to boot into recovery. You must have missed it. Maybe I will make it bold print.

No, you do not need to reflash this everytime you flash a rom. You should only need to flash it once.

As long as you stay on a Gingerbread ROM you don't need to reflash recovery. If you go back to a Froyo ROM then you need to reflash Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.2, which can be done through ROM Manager.

He asked if he needed to flash the recovery ZIP when he flashes a new rom.The answer to his question is NO. He did not ask if he needs to flash a new recovery. If he wants to flash a different rom then, yes he needs to make sure he is using the correct recovery for the Rom he is flashing.
I would like to switch to another recovery without switching ROM nor HBOOT.
I would like to use PB99IMG.zip file
with 2 files inside
android-info.txt - the same as in all cases
and
recovery.img from recovery i wish to flash
Inspiartion from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
file structure and android-info.txt from here:
www.4ext.net/PB99IMG.zip
I have not tried that method so i ask.
THE QUESTIONS:
Is it possible to do it as described?
Is it a safe way?
Is it a right way?
Will I be able to switch between recoveries that way or just update versions?
4EXT Recovery Touch is a nice peace but I would recommend using the classic version until the final version gets finished, but if you feel up to it... than go for it. I had a go myself and it worked fine.
I dont think you should have any trouble switching between recoveries and keep the rom and hboot I did it a few times myself. The best thing to do is to do a nandroid backup with the recovery you have than switch to the new recovery and if for some reason your rom gets messed up (cause you never know) you can still switch back to the old recovery and restore the rom. (as long as you have the backup of the rom on the sd card you should be fine)
Thank you for your answer.
4EXT Recovery Touch was just an example. Question is this type of PB99IMG.zip file is the proper solution?
You can either flash a zipped version of the recovery via your old recovery, or flash the recovery image (.img) via fastboot (s off needed).
The method you describe, is flashing via hboot. You need to place that zip on the root of your sd and enter the hboot menu
I remember 4ext has an application which flashes the recovery for you, though you need root for it.

Sorry if this is wrong place to ask...
What do other recoveries offer that's better? I don't even remember which one I'm using, s-off'd and root with revolutionary some time ago so I think it's theirs.
Looking at the thread that inspired the thread starter, the obvious is the touch capability, but other than that seems to offer same functions. Is it maybe more reliable/faster?
Thanks for all!

I used 4EXT due to the fact that instead of scrolling up and down with trackpad/volume buttons (CWM), 4EXT ui is touch, easier to navigate.
Why 4ext?!
4Ext furthermore offers a lot of new functions:
- USB unbrick
- Partition SD card
- Check Alignment
Full List of Features:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20642552&postcount=2
I used 4EXT Recovery Control from the Market to switch to 4EXT, if you just wanna test I'd suggest the free 4EXT Recovery Updater (Get both from http://www.4ext.net/)
I have a htc desire that i used revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery...
however my center button is broken... is there a recovery that uses a different button to select
the options? or do i have to buy a new button for the phone even though i have never used it
(yes my track ball is dead, (really it is stuck in "down" so i disconnected it completely)
( got the phone used free and have been useing it for a while and never missed that button)
i have
revoluyionary cwm v4.0.1.4 and everything else about the phone is still stock.
cant even flash superuser.zip to root it.
thanks for any help
( is there a touch recovery for the desire ???)
(im not a total newbie but its my first htc phone and google has not helped with this question)
btw my phone is
bravo pvt4 ship s-off
hboot-6.93.1002
In my sig you will find a Partition guide. There you will find ways to install 4ext recovery touch. Try it.
