Hi folks,
As the title says, I want to change from CWM to EXT4 recovery for future use (mainly for ICS 4.x and ICS 4.x MIUI)
Can someone guide me how to get rid of the CWM recovery?
I only have the recovery flashed so I'm not using CWM ROM manager.
All help is appreciated.
Cheers,
R.
Go to 4ext.net. download recovery updater app. Install it then use it to install 4ext recovery. You should try the touch version is pretty sweet
Thanks,
So it will overwrite CWM?
And do I need to install recovery updater first and recovery touch on top of it, or will touch be installed through the main app?
EDIT: Well I answered my own questions .. .. It went pretty smooth, so thanks again!!
Got the same issue!
Unlocked my bootloader fallowing HTCdev.
My device is still S-ON. Currently using CWM to flash ROMs and fastboot to flash boot.img.
Is there anything to take care about when switching to 4EXT in my situation?
Thanks.

So I don't want to unroot. I have amonra, clockwork, and rom manager. When I boot into recovery it goes straight to ra recovery, I have to flash the update.zip to get to clockwork. I would just like it to boot straight to clockwork or to remove ra
I installed rom manager the other day and updated to the latest version thinking that would overide ra when booting to recovery from rom manager, only for ra to come up saying 'bad' update.
I know this will more than likely be simple, I have done a few searches but not found much apart from unrooting.

you need to re run unrevoked and untick use custom recovery so it flashes clockwork or use custom and select a clockwork recovery of choice
its in the clockworkmod thread in the dev section and the amonRA thread
please read them
Hello!
You need to unrevoked again....Downolad unrevoked for your phone, BEFORE to plug your phone to your computer go in the up left corner and choose your recovery , wich can be amonra or clockwork mod, let computer do the job and voila! You are donne
Thanks you very much dudes. I was a total noob to all things root when I did mine and just followed steps from a mate. I couldn't remember how RA got on there. Cheers

Hey, so I hope you guys check this. I tried running the unrevoked again.
Only for it to seemingly get right to the end and attempt root (I thought it was just going to reflash and slap the clockwork in there) for it to say Error: failed to get root - Is your firmware too new?
Is there an easy way around this? Or is it the rom I am running??
I haveOxygen-20. RC6

You don't get 2 recoveries. If you 'fake flash' using ROM Manager it'll lose CWM instead of your normal recovery
You could try to S-OFF with AlphaRev iso (which will also update the recovery to CWM-AlphaRev 2.5.1.8 with dark blue color)
When you are S-OFF you can update the recovery with fastboot
If you don't want or cannot do all this, you could try to fake flash the CMW 3.2 recovery when you need it.
Fake flash means to load another recovery (3.2) while in recovery (2.5) by simply applying a zip file. You then have all the feature of the 3.2 recovery without permanently installing it.
1) put the zip with 3.2 recovery on your SD card (zip in thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1039954)
2) boot in recovery
3) apply the zip (like you would flash a rom, but it only loads the 3.2 recovery operating system without removing/deleting any file in your phone). You should notice the text color change and a few more options in the menu.
4) enjoy
Fake Flash is more or less what what Rom Manager is doing when you use it to reboot in recovery mode (but it only supports a restricted set of recovery versions that have been tuned to work with Rom Manager).
Another benefit of fake flash is that you can still use your old nandroid backups, as it it not recommended to restore with recovery X a backup made with recovery Y.
Hi,
I have installed ClockworkMOD v3 recently. I heard that I cannot flash radio directly trough it, so I thought about downgrading to CWM v2.5. Can it be done? Is it like normal installing of CWM or there are some additional steps?
And yes, I have S-Offed my phone with AlphaRevX and rooted following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
Just in case that it is needed to mention.
It isn't needed to flash an older version.
Go into ROM manager and hit Flash Recovery, it will be version 2.5.0.7, and then boot into it from the app.
Booting normally into recovery will enter whatever version you flashed, but if you boot from ROM manager it will be temporarily 2.5.0.7.

Hello guys,
I rooted my WF with AlpharevX, I flashed then CM7 nightly build and yesterday CM7.1 RC1. Afterwards I realised that my GPS doesn't work. I wanted to reflash my radio, I have CMW 3xx, so it is not possible to flash it from recovery. I wanted to boot to recovery directly from ROM Manager, where I have 2.5.0.7, but when it reboots I receive only boot image, when I hit the power button I land in Recovery menu but it says, that it is 3xx version. I tried to reflash radio from there but of course I receive error message.
Have you any ideas, why it is like that?
I think, I could try to convert radio with amend2edify and then try to flash it from recovery, have someone tried this?
Reinstall CWM 2.x from ROM Manager. Someone tried to convert the radio file using Amend2Edify, and it didn't work.
Will help in booting to 2.x recovery.
Have u flashed 2.5.0.7 recovery from rom manager. If yes, it will be present in sdcard /clockworkmod/ downloads folder.
First boot into 3.x recovery then install zip from sdcard. Then choose zip from sdcard and selected the path and file. Then it gives 2.x recovery on the fly. And remember radio flashing is sensitive.

thx for answers
2.5.0.7 is present in sd/clockworkmod/downloads, so I try to flash it from recovery and then reflash radio. I know it is sensitive, but it seems that I don't have any other choice. I will reflash the same version that I have, so it shouldn't be harmful. then I will go back to newer CWM Version
done, GPS works
I am rooted and have clockworkmod installed as well. Do I need to have ACS recovery also in order to start flashing ROMs into my SG4G touch? or Should I be able to flash already with the Clockworkmod Recovery v5.0.2.7 that I have already installed?
Is ACS recovery better if I want to flash themes and ROMs indistinctly?
If yes how can I uninstall Clockworkmod Recovery v5.0.2.7 and install ACS recovery?
Thanks in advance

If you're rooted & have CWM, you're good to go.
Thanks!!!!!!!!
No problem, glad to help
Hi guys!
I want to install CyanogenMod 11.0 on my HTC One X.
I had already installed TWRP (v. 2.4) and did not know how to uninstall it, so I installed the CWM over TWRP. Bad idea.
I installed CWM using ROM Manager, but it did not work very well. When I reboot into recovery I'm going to TWRP and not for CWM..
A mess!
So I wanted to erase both recoverys and install stock recovery, then install the correct recovery-6.0.4.5-endeavoru.img (The recovery .img for CyanogenMod 11.0).
Is that the correct way to proceed?
Is it possible to provide me a tutorial on how to delete the two recoverys and install the recovery sotck? Pls
Thanks guys!
You dont delete a recovery, just flash it via fastboot.
Ditch rommanager, it's useless !
Yes ROM Manager is useless.. but as seen here on Wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery I thought it would work..
So you suggest to flash the "recovery-6.0.4.5-endeavoru.img" via fastboot?
And what about the other recoverys? Are automatically deleted?
Thanks Mr Hofs for support!
Yes via fastboot the old recovery gets completely overwritten by the new one.
Nice! Thanks!
