[Q] New Clockwork Recovery 5.0.0.0

Hi... I just found that Clockwork Recovery has new version from their website but in zip format. Try to install it through ROM Manager and recovery mode but it is just temporary recovery. Every time I enter recovery mode by pressing power and vol down and choose recovery it is back to old recovery.
Does anyone try this new recovery and how to make it permanent or is it available in img format so I can flash it using Android Flasher.
for your reference please find it here :
hxxp://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.0.0-bravo.zip (please change hxxp into http)
*** sorry for my horrible English and grammar
it is cause you use the fake-flash method, launching CWM 5.0.0 by flashing a .zip file from your current recovery.
in order to permanently change your recovery you would have to be S-OFF and have a .img file of the new recovery
My HTC Desire already S-OFF but where to find this img file of new CWM Recovery?
I have search over Google and this forum but did not found. Is it possible to change this zip file into img file?
The file:

Yes but not all file available.
like HTC Bravo only latest recovery in zip format only.
Thanks
Yeah, but as this thread is for v5.0.0.0 then people will want the newest will they not?
someone already did some test?
for example backup the current rom (maybe one with ext partition), then flash an other rom (just for test), and then restore the backup (and see if boots and everything ok)?
i will try later anyway, but of course will be nice to already know if its work or have some problems
Has any one had the edify script error with CWM 5.0.0.0 recovery ?
I flashed CWM 5.0.0.0 today via fastboot and it works fine - however I tried flashing Cool 3D V9 Rom and then when i flashed the boot loop fix & got the edify scripting error does any one know of a work around ??? I did a search and i found some code by coolexe and baadnews but not sure if there is a way to fix this ?

ask the dev to update the script in the flashable zip or flash a 2.x recovery (amend script is no more supported from 3.x and up, only edify is supported)
anyone have a changelog? cant find one anywhere!

follow koush or clockworkmod on twitter..5.x has faster backups (now it used .tar files) and preserve the file system of each partition (if ur sd-ext is ext3, it will be backup and restore as ext3, if u have ext4 it will be ext4, etc..with previous cwm recoveries the sdext was restored always as ext3)
also a new color sheme..now is blue light
edit: new recovery seems available 5.0.1.0 http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.1.0-bravo.img
I read from a koush twit :
"Desire and Desire CDMA users: I have just switched you to real flashing rather than fakeflash. You will need to S-OFF. with unrevoked."
so, out of curiosity, how Rom Manager can flash the recovery for real?
I always use fastboot, and i though there was no other way than that and the PB99IMG.zip method..
Someone know how that works (i mean the flashing through an app)?
i'm fine with 4.xxxx

Well there have always been another way just not on desire, since s-on users couldn't write to system or recovery while system was booted. But with s-off using a flash_image script will work just fine, which is pretty much what rom manager does(i assume).
So I asked koush on twitter to change us to native recovery flashing since s-off have been around for quite some time for desire
edit: so for everyone s-off that means: to update just install/open rommanager and press "flash clockworkmod recovery"(tested and working just fine)

Thanks to ur tips, i found how it works!
from the terminat emulator on the phone:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
that should flash the recovery (even other partition i though), without use fastboot and without use the pc! thats nice!
On AOSP roms the flash_image utility is already included on /system/bin..in other roms (like stock ones) it should be downloaded and placed on the phone and used in the same way
that probably what rom manager does
So there is no way to get the latest version of ClockworkMod Recovery if we are on S-ON ?

It is possible to flash a ROM with the original recovery system if the ROM you want is a FLASHABLE zip. However, the original recovery utility doesn't have the function of backup/restore, that means u won't be able to make a Nandroid (backup) of your current ROM. If something goes wrong during the flashing of new ROM, your phone might be soft-bricked.
Think twice before you do that. My recommendation is to use the CWM recovery by acro68. That's the safest way.

custom roms are modified versions of your current stock rom to make it beautiful and faster.
flashable zips are of 2 types:
1. They are made for updating/adding something in your current rom.
2. Its a file format which lets you to install things using cwm. It can be a rom itself too!

u can flash a rom from stock recovery too but as I said above, it is recommended to use so that u can restore ur phone if something goes wrong. Wen i tried to flash boot.img frm stock recovery it gave an error but wen u flash it from cwm it is successful . Any more doubts or are you still unsatisfied? ASK MORE!

its depends on scripting... stock recovery runs only amend scripting but cwm 3.0 or later edify scrpiting... and it has so many options then stock... one notable option and frequently using option is dalvik cache wipe... this is y most of em prefer cwm...
I GUESS THIS IS THE ANSWER... BUT IM NOT SURE ABOUT... GOOGLE IT FOR MORE INFO... I READ IT SOMEWHERE ONCE UPON A TIME... SO I FORGET SOME OF THE THINGS...
stock recovery require your zip to be signed for security reason. cmw is not. signing itself is simple process that only need few second, but once you signing your zip you can't change it's content. you must resign your zip if you do. that's why some people prefer cmw, because you can easily change zip content with regular archive manager without resign.

Let's get to your qeury . . . Flashing via stock or CWM
With CWM Recovery you can:
Flash boot.img (kernel)
Flash Custom ROMS
Flash .zips without resinging packages
Choose what partition to be mounted during flash
With stock:
Flash boot.img (kernel) -but most kernel are ment to be flashed via CWM as it has a higher chance of success and less likely to cause bootloops
Flash Custom ROMS - but some ROMS use scripts that are NOT SUPPORTED by stock recovery
Flash .zips but requires zips to be signed and resigned if there are modifications on the package

that's not stock recovery problem, but custom rom problem. a lot of custom rom have poorly written (or generated) updater-script. rom dev put a lot of work on making his/her rom looks good, but give very small attention to installation process. some rom event try to mount /dev/stl19 to /system in instalation process. that partition not exist in sgy. and updater-script not depend to which recovery that you use. it's depend to updater-binary inside your zip file.

KitKat 32bit to LP 64 bit in a snap.

Wow thanks alot.
Btw will it wipe internal storage?
Does this zip comes with any 64bit recovery or do i need to go to fastboot mode & install 64bit recovery?
Is it compatible with philztouch recovery?
Also, what happens when this zip is flashed?
Before flashing a Rom & if i'm in recovery, will my internal memory be shown in PC when i connect yureka via data cable?(should i copy CM 12.x Rom to internal memory before flashing this zip? )
-Sorry for asking so many qt's all at once... But would appreciate if u can answer all of my queries to get rid of my worries
works like a charm, first boot on blisspop was really smooth, no lag and glitches like stock cm12....got blank screen when i tried to get into recovery(which was obvious) but from second boot, i was stuck on the YU boot logo....It was because of the 32bit recovery...flashed 64-bit CWM through fast boot and again i successfully booted
PS- It doesnt wipe your sdcard

Any 64 bit recovery will work. In my openion I recoment TWRP recovery. It is a touch recovery and has many options like file manager, backup compression etc.
Sorry for the late reply my school reopened so I didn't get any time to read this thread....
Anyway I am going to make an another zip file for flashing recovery within 2 days. Both 64 bit and 32bit....
Both TWRP and CWM.

So.... It does not wipe your SDCARD when following this method. Its safe. Only thing you have to do is flash 64 bit recovery.
Any way data backup is highly recommended. We ate playing with firmware know? Any thing can happen!

It actually has some of modem files, 64 bit partition details, fastboot(BIOS) for 64bit. You can go ahead and exact the zip file and read the script inside it. It does not have a 64bit recovery so you wold have to flash a recovery of your choice with fastboot. I hope you got your doubts cleared. If you have any further doubts feel free to reply:good:. i am planning to merge recovery flasher into this zip stay tuned!

Yes you can. If the ROMs rooted already then you can use the app Flashify to flash the recovery (I guess your phones booting up)

MTCC instructions for flashing custom recovery

Hi.
I know there is at least one post with instructions for installing a custom recovery on an rk3188 MTCC head unit, but I just can't find it! I think the search function may be broken as I've searched this forum for the following key words ' recovery, custom, cwm, twrp, clockworkmod' in many combinations and every search comes back with 0 results! So, if anyone can post a link to such a thread/post I'd be very grateful.
I'm intending to flash the recovery and then a malyksis (spelling?) ROM.
Thanks in advance.
The post that talks about TWRP recovery is not on this forum, but on a thread in the FreakTab Forums. I can't post the link because I am not supposed to link to other forums. The TWRP version is 2.7.0.0, which doesn't allow you to flash .IMG files, which are what these custom ROMs are. These ROMs are meant to be flashed through STOCK recovery. So, I would recommend that you flash the custom ROM before you flash TWRP or don't flash one at all.
There is also a TWRP image located here, just select the TWRP folder, but I have not tested this.
http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/firmware/
Here is the wiki page for these units. It has almost everything you need to know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Hui_Fei_Type
Ah, that explains it! Thanks. I was looking for a way to back up my stock ROM before flashing a custom one, that's what led me to TWRP. Is there a way to backup from the stock recovery as I don't see that option? Thanks.
I know that TWRP has an option to backup specific parts such as recovery, boot image, system, or data. I'm not sure if Titanium or a NANDroid backup will do the same. Worth giving it a shot, though.
