Using Rom manager to get the update yes then flashing the update zip in clockworkmod recovery itself

As far as I'm aware, the ROM Manager recovery is a "fake flash" mechanism, and you always need to enter recovery via ROM manager (or manually flash the update.zip)
If you want a permanent recovery image, you need to flash via Unrevoked.
Could be wrong, but that's my understanding anyway. I don't pay too much attention because I don't use ROM Manager much.

Desire was rooted via unrevoked ages ago. I use a widget to enter recovery. I then manually flash the clockworkmod recovery update zip which then updates clockworkmod to the latest version. I then reboot. ROM manager says I am at latest version I have just flashed however if I then enter recovery again,via any method, clockworkmod recovery has reverted back to old version as if I haven't flashed the update.

So you are saying that if you select "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM Manager, you end up in the recovery you flashed via Unrevoked?
If I go into recovery from ROM manager, I can see that it first "fake flashes" recovery and then boots into it. Going into recovery via Power +Vol Down, I boot into HBOOT from which I select Recovery - I then end up in the recovery image from Unrevoked.

no, i am saying that i can only reboot into that latest clockworkmod recovery, which is 2.5.0.7, if i reboot into recovery via ROM manager.
if i reboot via hboot or a reboot widget such as SwitchPro all i get is the version of clockworkmod recovery installed when i unrevoked, which is 2.5.0.1.
clockworkmod recovery doesnt recognise that i have flashed the update zip if i reboot into recovery via hboot or switchpro.
what i want is to be able to reboot into the latest version of clockworkmod recovery without using Rom manager.
dont worry i have figured out its not possible to keep the updated clockworkmod recovery because unrevoked doesnt unlock permanently the NAND flash chip. so even though its been updated when the new version of clockworkmod is flashed it doesnt stick.

And that is *absolutely* the correct behaviour, and is the point I alluded to my original post.
If you want to permanently update the recovery image on your phone to 2.5.0.7, you need to use Unrevoked again and select a custom recovery image (note these needs to be an IMG file, not a ZIP!).
Simply flashing the update.zip merely boots you into the new recovery, it doesn't actually flash the new recovery - hence the name, Fake Flash!

yeah i know its the correct behaviour, i just wasnt sure why other reboot methods didnt reboot into the newest version, now i know.
the latest version of unrevoked, v3.14 includes clockworkmod recover 2.5.07 as its default image anyway.
as i am already rooted using unrevoked can i just use unrevoked again? ie nandroid backup>root again with latest version of unrevoked>restore nandroid backup? will that work do you think?

Yes - it should be fine. You shouldn't technically need to backup/restore either since only recovery is affected.

Do I have to update unrevoked?
When i flashed the recovery image it was 2.5.0.1
Yes you do... this is what i did and i got the newest recovery
Hello Foxmeister,
can you please tell us how to install the latest Clockwork 2.5.0.7 on our desire.
Or we just must copy the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip and rename it to update.zip?
Or me must flash the recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.zip via recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1

As I said before, you use UnrEVOked.
Just flashing an update.zip of recovery will only launch the recovery one time - it won't actually flash it to your device.
As far as I'm aware, UnrEVOked is the only tool that will permanently flash a new recovery image to your device. It even allows you to choose a different recovery (e.g. AmonRa) if you wish.
Regards,
Dave
could you please upload unrevoked 3? The devs says it's down atm

A different question about 2.5.0.7 -
How do I know if "wipe Dalvik Cache" or "wipe battery stats" (in advanced menu) work? I run both when flashing new ROMs and unlike the other wipes, there is no message on the screen that confirm that it was done..
Is my recovery broken?
Thanks

Hi, it was a question how to update the Clockwork from 2.5.0.1 to 2.5.0.7. So, I will write my way of the update.
I just used the ROM Manager from Android Market. Today, when I started the ROM Manager I saw this item:
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7
Just after, I clicked on the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery I chose the HTC Desire and it started to download the new version and flashed it. It was done automatically.
After, I rebooted into the Recovery and I have a version 2.5.0.7. It wasn´t necessary to start any application from Windows or Linux...
Then congratulations. AT my Desire only unrevoked flashed a permanent recovery.
Please shutdown your phone and Start IT with Power +Vol down and look at the recovery Version. How did YouTube root your Desire before?

It is little bit bizarre.
I just did what you wrote. I switched off my Desire. Just after I used Power+Vol down and I entered into Recovery Menu where was a version 2.5.0.1.
So, no permanent flash.
Ok, I rebooted my Desire and I started the Rom Manager where I saw
Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7
Latest Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.0.7
I clicked on the Reboot into Recovery in the Rom Manager and it started the Recovery version 2.5.0.7.
How is it possible ?

When you hold Power+Vol Down, you will enter the recovery permanently installed on your phone. When you go to recovery from Rom Manager, it loads up the recovery from sdcard, which Rom Manager installed.
there is'nt an update recovery image for 2.5.0.7 so cannot be a permanent flash yet.

Just flashed shipped rom by the way:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826465
Then installed Visionary to root, it was OK.
Then did a "one click radio S-off" it was ok.
Then installed ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery .... Everything was OK. Then I reboot to Recovery mode, screen burst upon with "!" symbol in triangle and halt ...
Try to do many ways ... but nothing happened better.
Somehow I got mistake or something went wrong? Because before re-flashed the rom said above I can boot into recovery mode without problem.
Please help.
Thanks.
You need km flash the clockwork recovery image over the top of the stock recovery. Flashing with ROM manager is a fake flash and not the real thing, have a look at the stickies have flash the recovery then you'll be good to go,
Good luck

Blinkydamo what are you talking about?? Rom manager flashes it just fine. It just has a bug, that sometimes users have to flash cwm twice.
So, HkDng, just try to flash clockworkmod again using rom manager.

I tried to flash using rom manager many times but still failed.
Try to remove the rom manager and install it again.. And check in bootloader that you have S-OFF.

Personally I would flash the recovery from fastboot, at least then you know if it's worked or not, I am finding rom manager a little flaky with the latest cwm 3.0.0.5, and end up using Clockwork recovery directly for the time being

Hi everyone!
First of all, thank you for taking the time to read this!
I have tried to do research on my problem but can't solve it...
The problem is that i can't get into recovery to backup my stock rom.
Specs: HTC Wildfire S, marvel A510e, S-on, Bootloader unlocked, Rooted, Radio-7.54.39.28M, Andriod 2.3.5, HTC sence: 2.1, Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8, Super SU.
I followed the guide: "How to root the Wildfire S with S-ON"on Andriod forums by CafeKampuchia, thumbs up for him, It got me this far but, now I want to do the thing for which I rooted my phone in the first place: Installing a costum ROM. Therefore I want to backup my stock ROM.
When I open in HBOOT (1.09.0099) and select recovery, the phone reboots and i see the HTC screen, this disappears after 2 sec and my screen turns black... (phone is still on beceause the buttons on the bottom are lighted.)
When I boot the normal way and try to boot into recovery trough CWM ROM manager same thing happen. Also flashed this recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229 Same thing happed...
So how can i backup my stock rom?
Many thanks in advantage!

Hello!
We have already faced this problem. We cannot find the reason why on some devices CWM is not working. It is characteristic for some devices. The decision is not found yet. We used all known methods for today, and all CWM versions (5.0.2.6 & 5.0.2.8), but are not present result.

You might try placing update zip on root of your sdcard and choose apply update from sdcard.
Too bad it doesn't have reinstall packages.

Actually, I got no place to post my question. So, I thought of starting a new thread.
I have installed CyanogenMod 7 on my HTC buzz by downgrading its stock rom as it suffered a OTA update before. I guess you guys r well aware about the process.
During the downgrade, my phone got Revolutionary CWM 4.x.x.x by default. In fact, I have flashed CM7 using revolutionary.
Now, CM7 comes with ROM Manager built-in and I tried to install CWM 5.0.2.0 recovery right form the GUI. The update.zip was downloaded. I could update it manually form my recovery options.
But, it was not stable. Each time I boot into recovery, Revolutionary CWM shows up, instead of CWM 5.0.2.0. To use it again, I have update the package each and every time.
Is is quite normal? Or, I am missing something? Plz help with advice.:crying:
I did this via Rom manager. Not through Recovery.

Yes this is normal for ROM manager as using ROM manager is only giving you a temp recovery over your stock ( in your case revolutionary cwm ) to get the cwm 5.0.2.0 you want you need to get either a PC49IMG.zip version of the cwm and use the boot loader method, use ADB/Fast boot method or use the terminal emulator method.
Tutorials are all over the wildfire thread and so are the necessary files etc.

For permanent recovery, copy the recovery onto your pc.
Turn on the willy in hboot mode, goto fastboot connect usb
Type fastboot flash recovery name.zip
