Hi there,
Currently have cyanogenmod recovery 2.5.0.1 and want to upgrade to the latest (5.0.0.?)
Have tried doing this via ROM Manager, but it simply says it's installed and reports the latest version number, but when I restart in recovery it's still displaying the old version (and has none of the new features, i.e. - it hasn't updated at all)
I've read some guides on forcing ROM Manager to install newer or different .img's, but I can't even see any .img's it's downloaded. Are the downloads just failing?
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Does this look like Q&A section to you?

As for your question, there are two ways of accessing recovery. One is via ROM manager and the other is from hboot menu.
ROM manager is a good software and still is. But for our Desire, it gives us problems or at least confusion like the one you are having right now. After you updated the recovery how do you access it? Do you access it via ROM manager or from the power menu (alternatively vol down+power)?
The recovery you access from the power menu or alternatively, via vol down+power, is independent from the one you access using ROM manager. That's probably where you are getting confused right now. If you downloaded the update from ROM manager, then you ought to launch recovery from ROM manager as well.
So in a nutshell you have two recoveries. You updated the one from ROM manager but you are probably launching the other that wasn't updated.
Thank you stankyou (haha!) for the response!
Even when I boot into recovery from ROM Manager I get to the old version of the recovery, 2.5.0.1. Very odd. Someone has suggested using fastboot to flash this? Does this sound like a plan?
Booting to recovery with the power button & volume down yields the same as rebooting into recovery from ROM manager or the restart menu (using Runnymede AIO)

Tell me, do you pretend to be idiot, or you were born as idiot?
I'd say idiocy was genetic, so actually I was born this way, 'fraid I can't help it.
Seriously though, it's time to grow up. It's a forum - by definition - it's a place where people discuss topics.
Yeah, so the odd post may end up in the wrong forum - but if we all act like little kids every time that happens, the place won't be very nice to frequent.
Cyanogenmod recovery? Not ClockWorkMod? - but hey, it was said a hundred times, how to replace the recovery (including update) - S-OFF needed - and yes you can use the fastboot to flash the newest one (even with Android Flasher).

Yes personally that's what I did for my phone. I ditched ROM Manager a long time and replaced Clockworkmod with 4EXT recovery by flashing. I was S-Off when I flashed a different recovery if that matters.

To get added to the ROM list, and use the OTA system and customizers, etc, devs should follow the instructions here:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/03/rom-manager-and-third-party-roms.html
There's like 2 dozen ROMs for Droid listed (as well as a bunch for N1/Dream/Sapphire). Hoping to build up the Evo community on it as well!

I thought rom manager required flashing it's own customer recovery. Is this not the case anymore or has clock figured out how to flash a recovery to the evo???

All I did was flash a rom manger friendly rom and installed it. Went to market and downloaded rom manager. Then loaded it and downloaded clock boot from there. Went through that process.
Now I just click reboot to recovery from rom manager and it boots me right into the custom clock recovery and you can do however from there.
It's worth every penny!!!!!

not yet but toast and maejrep say they do have a method to flash /recovery its just manual and includes an older version eng hboot.
the clockwork rom manager method basically puts itself into an update.zip which is signed so the stock HTC recovery loads it and bam! custom recovery appears!
im still wondering how hes able to sign an update.zip file which HTC allows cuz IMO, that was the missing key!

It's just a test signed zip that does a hot recovery replace (it doesn't actually flash). You guys are running a Test HTC image, so test keys work on it.
Will this work with Froyo?

I was going to test it and I keep running into problems.
Maybe it's the ROM Manager? It won't auto reboot (maybe I don't get the whole idea) and if I manually try to update it with the recovery mode with update.zip, it fails immediately.
Anyone else having this issue?
I notice that when installing the recovery, there is a update.zip place in the root of the SD card. I think that is the recovery file. Anyway, I did a reboot to recovery mode, and it worked no problem. Reboot the phone again, it will boot back into android OS.
Man..this one sick program but brilliant.
PS. Got the paid version also. I think this will comes in handy later.

does anyone know if rom manager will work if you used the unrevoked method to root?
This won't work on unrevoked. It requires rooting via toast's method using the test image. You can find instructions for this method in the sticky thread pg 1 of this forum, how to root the HTC EVO.

First off you posted in the wrong section. This is development not Q&A. Second your question doesn't make sense. Your phone didn't come with a recovery image. You installed one when you rooted it. Most likely clockwork if you used unrevoked. If that's the case you can use rom manager to flash Amon_Ra's recovery. All this info is in the forum for those who do some research. If you don't have time to read up on this stuff then you probably shouldn't be flashing anything anyhow....

Actually, if you think that any Android phone doesn't have a recovery image on it stock, you should take your own advise Clockwork or Amon are an ALTERNATE recovery that you flash over the already existing Android recovery.

Ok, I'm completely self taught as far as this whole arena of technology is concerned. So please bear with me. I rooted using kindle water and clockwork mod was installed as my recovery. But, I need twrp to install any of the 3.0 kernels. Can I install twrp with clockwork mod still on my device our do I need to remove it somehow? Any advice would be great.
No, I don't think it's even remotely possible.
There are several methods you can use to install TWRP; fastboot, script, KFU, depending on whatever you're most comfortable with.
Before you do so I'd highly suggest you read and understand what is laid out in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552547 (first, second and third posts)
It'll save you a lot of trouble when things "go bad".

Actually, if you wanted to have a completely wacky setup...
They are all boot images, so you can leave CWMR on your recovery partition and flash your boot partition with TWRP. Then you would "normally" boot into TWRP and selecting recovery will take you to CWMR as it did before. If you ever want to boot ICS, you can "fastboot boot" the ICS boot.img file and it should boot into the system for you. This is just all in theory, I've never done anything this insane, but it should work if you wanted.
Now, for a more practical approach....
You can leave CWMR on your recovery partition and just "fastboot boot" the TWRP image. That would get you a "per boot" access to TWRP without ever flashing it onto your device. If all you want to do is flash ICS with it, then this is a doable setup and would just require the extra step of booting directly from the TWRP recovery image with fastboot.
Well I'm on CM9 by hellfire right now so ICS is definitely possible. Just wanted to get HWA going.
Just to piggyback on the OP and maybe a more direct question.
I currently have CWMR installed. Can I simply use KFU to replace it with TWRP by choosing option 3?

KFU's TWRP installer is either broken or will install TWRP 2.0.0 (broken reboot) and FFF 1.0 (4 generations old) together. You can either tinker with its run.bat file or learn to use fastboot if you want the latest stuff installed. The latter makes more sense to me...

Dang, reading for comprehension is not my strong suit sometimes. I read that guide yesterday and it specifically addresses my question and also says I can play with images without installing them way cool.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
what is the real difference between cwm and twrp besides the interface? I like twrp but i also like to use rom manager when on another rom besides stock....also im using bootmanager for my tri-boot needs... What is the problem with cwm and 3.0 kernel?
I believe that Hashcode updated CWM to support 3.0 ROMs (Check the dev section).
I started with TWRP then CWM. Then I wanted to flash 3.0 ROMs so I used KFU to flash TWRP (Hope that helps someone).
I have not tested the new CWM yet as this old version of TWRP does what I need it to.

I believe that CWM is more streamlined in that it can work with ROM Manager as well, whereas TWRP requires you go to recovery in order to flash anything. However, I like to stick with TWRP for its ability to compress backups, since there isn't much free space on the Fire. I'll probably switch over to CWM eventually, but, like you, TWRP does just what I need.

I agree completely! Not much space at all. ROM Manager is cool but I have had more problems than solutions using it (G2X) so I am used to going into recovery to flash (CWM included).
thanks for the help. Im used to using rom manager/cwm on my indulge so im not really used to having to go into recovery for everything. but as stated earlier with the limited space on the kindle ill still with twrp then so i can compress my backups. also stated rom manager will have some problems untill they can find a way to link cwm for kindle fire to rom manager otherwise you will run into the same issues that happens when you use it with twrp....it boots into recovery and then does nothing else. lol
Alright so I tried installing TWRP via goo manager. I downloaded the app and installed the openrecoveryscript. It shows that it's installed, yet whenever I tried and reboot into recovery it still boots into clockwork... I have gone as far as trying to delete Rom Manager app from my phone and I tried installing the openrecoveryscript again. Any suggestions on how I should go about fixing this. I`m currently running 11.0-installerXNPQ02R.

I can answer this question: it is impossible. There are certain problems in work of this Mod. The first: does'nt making full nandroid backup. The second: does'nt flashing boot.img. It is necessary to develop this program still. But something, already is able: root, interface modding, ect....
Howdy.
I have flashed this recovery image and for the first time, can boot into recovery and see what I'm meant to see! Thanks. Previously (2012 hardware) I just hung on the white HTC logo screen.
Now, if I select backup and restore, press the power button, all the text disappears and I'm left with the central hat image... but nothing much happens. Pressing power again brings me back to the main menu. Same thing with -power off. The top option of reboot system now works just fine.
Any ideas? I'd like to backup my current system before flashing WildChild 3, you know - just in case anything goes wrong!
EDIT: immediate edit. cancel all of the above, I'm just new to recovery (obviously!). I went through the main menu a few times, it told me the back button was now active and away I go - backing up as we speak! Apologies!!! and thanks!

You must press one time into recovery volume + and several time volume - , while apear "back button is enable" and then such as in any cmw.

That's ROM Manager's somewhat backwards way of asking you what to do about its recovery image.
The options, from top to bottom, are "Install CWM", "I have already installed CWM", and "I have already installed TWRP."
If you choose the one that applies to you, it will stop bothering you.
ROM Manager works fine, btw - once you've convinced it that you have CWM-m7vzw installed (it can even install it itself(!)) you can back up and restore and flash ROMs 'til your heart's content–even CM10.2 nightly updates.
I have a similar question, I have cwm on my htc and want to go over to twrp. What's the best way to remove cwm?

You do not need to remove cwm, all you need to do is put the twrp.img file in your adb/fastboot folder, boot to the bootloader, select fastboot usb - sometimes it loads automatically to this -, type fastboot devices to confirm your device then type "fastboot flash recovery twrp_filename.img" - type that without the quotes and the actual filename with .img. Once you enter that and hit enter you should get some text saying it is being sent to your phone and it should tell you if it worked or failed.
Thanks I appreciate the help..
