[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.

Question: When you flash a new ROM, do you have to reflash the recovery ZIP?

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.
Hey there. I am trying to get my phone to run cwm. I tried both the touch image and the image that comes with the htc one v toolkit. Fastboot installs it no problems but when I try to go to recovery either by adb command or through the phone direct I get the "This build of HTC is not be distributed" message when I rooted the phone a while back but it just hangs there..
Please help. I really dont like having to hold down the power button for 10+ seconds praying it wont brick.
P.S. I did try to install CWM through the normal way on the play store. I thought it would work cause it detected my phone right and didnt warn me. SU did tell me it was doing something in some .sh file. I uninstalled cwm before trying the fastboot methods.
John
I suggest using the "all-in-one" tool from the Development Thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1676686
and then use "boot into recovery"
I finally got it to work by using TWRP. had to find one that specifically said CDMA/Virgin Mobile.
Thanks for your help.

i have said in my clockwork mod threads, NOT TO INSTALL IT via Rom Manager as it wont install properly, you need to flash it manually

^ True, this didn't work for me either, i had to manually install cwm myself.
Hey guys. I apologize in advance if this a common issue but I'm on my device now and every time I try to type in the search box, the search box disappears.
Anywho, so for some reason my phone has both Clockworkmod and TWRP recoveries. Whenever I try to access recovery to flash either through ROM Manager, Goo, or the power menu, the phone reboots, attempts to go into recovery and then flashes back to black and tries to go into recovery again.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?
I'm using the latest version of CWM.

Well, personally I think you could try a couple of things.. First I would try this app if you are able to boot up into the os, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools and I would flash philz touch recovery as its compatible with twrp backups as well as cwm to which its based upon. And just flash that one recovery. And fingers crossed you will just have that one recovery. It simple, it will flash the recovery for you, it will download it for you, super easy. Now if that doesn't work, I would start at the beginning and go into download mode and ref lash stock ROM, root, and recovery via Odin.. And that will ensure you have one recovery. Also I'm not a huge fan of the two apps you are using ATM but that's just me.. Easier to just hop into recovery and flash ya know.

Hi guys,
Searched a lot on the forum but to no avail.
Strange problem with my HTC desire.
My CWM update is not persisting for some odd reason.
I am currently on CWM 2.5.0.7
I am constantly trying to flash the latest CWM touch from recovery.
Steps followed:
- Booted into recovery
- Install zip from sd card
- Selected the latest cwm zip
It shows installation succeeded.
Then when I reboot to recovery, I am still in 2.5.0.7
Really frustrating!! Please help.
Thanks.
Try flashing from fastboot. Use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img . That should do the trick. And post in questions thread next time please.

Why don't you get 4ext recovery?

- There's a Q&A section to ask questions...
- You haven't searched very hard. You must be S-OFF to upgrade or change recovery, search 'revolutionary' method.
- As above 4EXT is better for Desire, as it partitions the sdcard properly unlike CWM.
Apologies for not posting in the questions section..
Thanks for all your inputs, actually came back to this device after a couple of years.
Still works as a charm.. Got S-Off using revolutionary method and then flashed 4ext recovery.. All Good!!!
