Hi, I have this (noob) question when reading the description of CWM in Android Market:
"HTC Users: Flash recovery not working? Try fastbooting a recovery on."
May I know what does "Try fastbooting a recovery on."
Is that meant booting into recovery with Fast Booting setting ticked?
Thanks.
If I was to interpret that remark literally it would mean that you would have to use fastboot and push a Rom to your phone via fastboot. This requires eng s off and is not noob friendly.
I assume it means that you need to manually enter recovery by powering off phone and holding vol down and power to get into hboot. You must have fastboot unchecked in power settings on a sense Rom if just powering down to enter recovery. If you are using a program to reboot into recovery it doesn't matter.
I would recommend if you have issues with cwm to just use 4ext recovery instead.
4ext recovery is better imo and now has a touch screen UI.
Thanks for answering. I think I understand it now.
I have another (noob) question:
What are the differences between the Market version CWM and this (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723 )?
Which one shall I use?
Thanks again.
Its the same. Just a way for people to get newer versions before cwm releases them. Just use the market to download rom manager and flash your recovery with rom manager.

Hi, Gizmoe. It's me again.
May I know will the partition be formatted to EXT4 in CWM?
Thanks.
You will have to use 4ext recovery if you want ext4 partitions. There is a program in market called 4ext updater that will install it on your phone. This is the version of recovery that I use, because it has more options and ext4 support. Backups you have made with cwm will not work with 4ext and vice versa, just keep that in mind.

ROM Manager Premium v3.0.0.7 is the version of the ROM Manager app itself, Clockworkmod Mod is still at 3.0.0.5.

why they doesn't insert the 3.0.0.5 version inside the app? they're still at 2.7.0.5

I used ROM Manager to switch from Amon's Recovery to Clockwork so that I can utilize ROM Manager. Bought the premium version for the nightlies (yeah I'm that lazy), however, it looks like I don't have a recovery now. Anytime I try to boot to recovery, I end up at the bootloader. I select recovery from the bootloader and I'm back to the bootloader.
Any thoughts?

I never use Rom Manager, I like to do everything manually - less room for error. Plus I'm using Amon Ra, so I couldn't use it anyway. I've heard of some people having issues flashing recoveries from Rom Manager. You'll need to get a PC36IMG.zip of the recovery you want (I have CWM & AR in my dropbox, I'll link you to them) and put it on the root of your SD. Don't rename it. Boot into bootloader, wait a second and it'll ask you to update. Choose yes with the volume up button. When it finishes, you should have your recovery.

When you get to the bootloader, it should search for PC36IMG.zip and then put you in a menu with ~5 options, one of them is recovery. Use the volume button to get to that, press power to select. It will reboot to the white screen, then load into the recovery.
If that doesn't work you may have a buggered up recovery. If you can boot the phone the first thing to try would be to open ROM Manager and try to re-flash Clockwork Recovery or hit "Flash Alternate Recovery" to install Amon's RA Recovery.
If you can't boot the phone, then you will need to do stuff from adb or fastboot.
EDIT:
If you can boot the phone, you may want to try installing through ROM Manager, but otherwise plainjane's idea is probably way better than messing with ADB or Fastboot if you aren't used to them.

Just flashed Leedroid over Cyanogen 7 had ETX4 recovery on this rom,the recovery has defaulted back to CWM when booting Leedroid,i've used android flasher to re-install EXT4 onto Leedroid,yet each time i boot into recovery it defaults back to CWM?
Incidentally i've also lost the ability with Leedroid to boot into recovery via power and vol-,i can only access recovery on this rom via rom manager.
Solutions greatly appreciated,i've also searched and found nothing conclusive?
This is because Rom manager is using fake flash recovery on reboot. Power down your phone and start bootloader with volume down and power button. Then select recovery and voila you are in the right recovery

The only option i can see this and i'm unsure if its correct is,settings - power - fast boot (turn off to use some market apps)
Tried it still no recovery from power/vol-
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:

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/)

It would help if you can elaborate "doesn't work". Listing the steps you tried to install the recovery and what are your trying to perform in the recovery
Well by doesn't work I mean that it goes to and HTC white screen "This build is for development purposes only..." and well with the current method of achieving root if I'm not mistaken you need a custom recovery. Initially I wanted to nandroid my phone before rooting. I wasnt yet aware that the user football had made a RUU available for the CDMA One V which latter turned to help clxcoltz and I in recovering our phones.
You don't need a custom recovery to root the phone. You only need to boot it with boot.superboot.img using adb.

So to clarify. You tried to flash the CWM5 recovery.zip from CWM3 recovery, but it failed? You could try to fastboot flash the recovery.img from your computer. Also, are you S-On or S-Off?
To reboot into recovery connect to computer and from cmd type "adb reboot bootloader."

Take a look at your bootloader info. If it show 'ace pvt __ s-off, means that it is s-off.
