[Q] ClockWorkMod Recovery Version Number Issues - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Whats up guys? I've come across a issue with ClockWorkMod Recovery whenever I use it I get a message saying 'there's a update available for ClockWorkMod Recovery' I've installed the update over wifi many times and still I'm shown as version 5.0.1.0 the latest being 5.0.2.0
I've uninstalled, reinstalled no luck.
Is there a way to manually flash the newer version by booting into recovery?

The most recent CWM updates have proven problematic for users. Fall back to 3.0.2.4 if you'd like to avoid these issues.

I was having the same issue, and many other issues, since v5 came out. After never getting any response from Koush I moved over to 4ext. I feel that recovery is much more robust and the dev is very quick to respond to issues (and add features!).

ROM Manager Premium v.2.5.0.5

When trying to download a new Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.1 I'm getting an error occurred while flashing your recovery.
I'm able to flash 2.5.0.1.
Why is this happening. Is it because of my Kernel or ROM?

You must have denied permissions with setcpu to change the recovery. If not, just use fastboot and do it manually. Get klutsh's clockworkmod which lets you hack the ps3.
Also post your questions in the Q & A and not here.

I just installed the new version of ROM Manager premium, but it's still saying the latest recover is 2.5.0.1. Where are you seeing the newer one?

I dont think that recovery is for our phones...looking at the mirror where the file comes from i dont see one for the evo of that version
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
2.5.0.1 is the latest (recovery) the app on the other hand is different
The guy above me is correct. 2.5.1.1 is the latest for certain phones, but not for the EVO. I don't know why it lists itself as a possibility though, I would think it could filter the results based on your type of phone.

Can't boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.

Haven't got enough posts to publish in the dev part of the forum and I can't find anyone with a DHD and this problem.
I'm on mike1986' Android Revolution HD 2.0.7 with senseless and trying to upgrade to 2.0.8 - with senseless.
I can't boot into ClockworkMod Recovery through Rom Manager or the boot menu (vol down at boot). Running 2.5.1.3 and it just hangs on the HTC screen. Tried flashing it twice from Rom Manager - no joy.
Looking for any advice - the rest of the phone runs fine btw.

Try to use the LASTEST version of CWM. i had this issues before coz i'm using the old version that i got from torrent. after i installed/ overwrite the old one, it works like charm! gud luck!
Cheers for the help, one question tho. As far as I am aware the latest CWM is 2.5.1.3. should I try using the "flash an older CWM" in Rom Manager?
All done, a massive thanks dude for the help.

Well, this is what you need to check before u want it to works..
1. Firstly, NOT to update your phone with latest firmware that is 17.2/17.5 (this will not work for ALL attempt)
2. Root your phone - apps needed (superuser & VISIONary+)
3. ROM Manager (get the latest one and granted as superuser) with the right Flash CWM Recovery.
4. S-OFF (check on the pinned DHD Android development thread)
i think that's all.. other might add in some info if i got myself less on it.. thank you
I'd try flashing an older recovery and flashing back to the newest. Remember you can also get to recovery by switching off and charging.

Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 install from zip failure.

Hi Everyone,
I've been trying to use a stripped-down sense based ROM on my Wildfire. I have successfully s-off'ed, rooted, and flashed other similar ROMs before. This time round CWM 2.5.0.7 seems to just reset itself every time I try to flash the zip. The log file says something about being unable to access /dev/tty0
CWM 3.x and upwards is working fine for AOSP roms, but I am unable to get 2.5.x working.
Thanks for your help.
Instal CWM 2.5.x from rom manager.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried this - several versions. Also through fastboot. I've even completely restored the software using an RUU and then re-installed different versions of pre 3.x CWM with no success

Updgrading Clockwork mod

During the summer I rooted my phone and i have Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7 installed.
I am trying to upgrade to the latest version and it never seems to stick.
Using Rom manager. It says that im flashed to v5.0.2.0 yet when i boot to recovery from rom manager it loads to v2.5.0.7. Does the same thing if i choose to flash a rom though ROM MANAGER. each time v2XXX loads
So i fire up recover and try loading the zip. Bingo it works. The screen turns from green to blue and V5.0.2.0 is now there for me to use. But if i reboot and later return to recovery its back to the old V2xxxx..
Any ideas why this is happening? Is it really necessary to move on to the V5xxxx versions? I was going to try out some new roms and they failed to load yesterday through v2.5.0.7 yet the rom i had been using loaded fine.
Thanks in advance..
When you use Rom Manager to flash a rom or reboot into recovery from Rom Manager, it boots the recovery from a downloaded recovery file. It's known as fake flash or in other words, it's temporary. If you want a permanent recovery, you would need to flash a recovery.img through fastboot.

if your Desire is s-off, then ROM Manager flashes recovery normally.

rom manager now works only if u have s-off..no fake flash anymore is possible
revolutionary.io will upgrade cwm if you want
I think this thread answers one of my own questions but will ask it anyway to confirm; when I rooted my Desire (via Unrevoked) a few months back, the ROM Manager app that continues to be updated via the market offers the option to upgrade the version of CWM... is it OK to proceed with this?
I've been wary of upgrading from the version installed via the rooting process, just in case, but seeing this thread has made me think there isn't actually an issue with whatever version of recovery you have installed?

Out of curiosity - what roms you tried to load? As far as I know 2.5.0.7 was the last cwm supporting both amend and edify scripting and it never failed for me personally.
To upgrade recovery (or hboots) I always use Fastboot Commander and it's very easy to use and never let me down.

I agree. Unless you need to maintain an ext 4 partition (as 2.5.0.7 converts it to lower apparently when backing up) I see no reason to change from 2.5.0.7.
I use it even today. Best recovery IMHO.

[Q] Now that we have S-Off, CWM or TWRP? Opinions?

The subject pretty much says it all. Now that we have S-Off again (yay, way to go developers) which would you use and why, CWM or TWRP? Pros? Cons?

I've used both CWM and TWRP pretty extensively over the last few years but I have settled on TWRP just because I like the layout and ease of use. So far I haven't ran into anything that didn't play nice with either one, so for me its an aesthetic choice.
I've only used TWRP once. A lot of people are using it these days because of the theming options and it being faster than CWM but I've read too many reports about various flashes not working properly with it. Stability trumps coolness for me so I'm sticking with CWM.
I've used TWRP since I got my rezound way back when and have used it since then there where some issues fliashing kitkat when it first came out. Philz is a nice recovery too.

Santods twrp is the best.
I wanted to chime in here: I've used both on my HTC one for Verizon and I seem to have a problem with both. After using JCase's root app and successfully getting s-off, I'm not able to get either recoveries to flash the superuser apk so that I can sustain root access. This is preventing me from flashing any rom. I know that a bunch of other people on this forum were able to get their roms flashed on so I was wondering if it's something I've done wrong, or just incompatibility with these 2 recoveries?
Steps I took:
1) installed JCase's weaksauce app, rebooted
2) obtained root, downloaded SU from market
3) proceeded with firewater to obtain s-off (successful)
4) installed clockwork recovery via fastboot.
5) proceeded to install superuser, unsuccessful.
6) rebooted phone, uninstalled SU (from 1st installation prior to s-off)
7) attempted to reinstall SU from Clockwork - fail.
8) flashed TWRP recovery, attempted to install SU, failed.
Not sure if there are other recoveries that I should be trying?
Thanks for the help!

Are you sure you obtained S-Off? One S-Off is complete, uninstall weaksauce, and flash recovery via fastboot (makes sure your using the latest cwm or TWP. I used this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2416431
Boot into recovery and flash SU. Worked like a champ for me.

Thank you so much for your response. Yup, when I hold down the power and volume down button, my hboot says Unlocked at the top (which I believe to be the status of my bootloader) and S-Off.
I flashed recovery via fastboot, and tried what I believe to be the latest versions of both Clockwork and TWRP. I'll check out the link you sent again and will post results.
Question for you, after you uninstalled the weaksauce app, you left SU installed, correct? So the process would be uninstall weaksauce, reboot to fastboot mode, flash recovery, flash rom?
Thanks again!

Yep that's what I did. I flashed superuser before flashing the rom though. What error do you get when you try to flash superuser?
Oh wait, I just read your initial post. Youre not trying to flash an .apk through recovery right? You should be flashing a .zip file in recovery.
You don't have to flash super user to flash a Rom either bro as long as you have custom recovery you can flash wahat ever Rom you want ?

Yep, just to clarify I originally flashed superuser because I kept the stock rom, but I quickly went to the debloated rom the next day. But Coach is right, you don't need superuser to flash the rom.
Philz touch is by far the most user friendly. Lots of customization options. Its based on cwm but is much better.

I had cwm corrupt all my backups I had. Since then I ran twrp. As far as Rom issues people seems to have outdated twrp version or something about the Rom. When I had a Rom fail to flash while in recovery I would reboot recovery and would then flash just fine

Twrp all the way. Its faster at backup and restore, and themeable.
I had really good luck with TWRP 2.6.3.4 but when I upgraded to 2.7.0.1 suddenly backups failed. Never got an answer back on why that was happening, so I switched to Phiz and haven't had a problem with it yet so I'm gonna stick with it for now.
Philz Touch Advanced CWM is the best recovery, hands down. Try it. You will see.

I tried it and wasn't impressed. Every process seemed to take forever to do. With latest twrp I can do a backup in under a min.
