This is for those times when you want to change your recovery but don't have access to a desktop. You need to already have a custom recovery installed otherwise you can't flash the zip (duh!).
Here are some common recoveries in flashable form:
Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip
CWM_3.0.2.4_Recovery.zip
Thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
You don't need to do anything special for these. Flash them and your recovery will be changed.
If you want to flash a recovery not listed above using your current recovery, use the following directions:
Make sure your recovery image is not corrupt before using this.
Rename your recovery of choice to vrecovery.img
Place vrecovery.img in the root of your micro SD card
Place Flash_vrecovery.zip anywhere on the micro SD card
Reboot into your custom recovery and flash the zip
Enjoy!
This is fantastic! Thank you.
Wicked Love it! Thanks Dude
is there a way to flash a custom recovery from the stock recovery, my brother flashed the wrong clockwork on his optimus v and now we can't install roms and it currently doesn't have a rom on it. I managed somehow to get the original recovery on the device and I can get adb to connect to it and windows to recognise the device. any ideas?
thanks xda thanks my optimos was brick n now its work is a life thanks ..im use this Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip grasias grasiasssssssssssssssss
Not sure if you're comfortable adding it to the list yet, but the latest recovery used with ROM Manager, ClockworkMod 3.2xx (not sure of the final digits), does work on the Optimus V now, thanks to koush.

Is there an easy was to download the img? Can you link me? It's really simple to add it, but isn't this counter to the whole idea of rom manager?

I believe (never installed the thing though) than newer editions of cwm use the camera button to select.
at least that's what I've read.
Omg I been having the same issue!!! I cannot make it select an option..any suggestions???

I use the AOSP ROM (dead rom). For some reason, all the IHO ROMS keep rebooting me after installing all my apps. I also use the Xionia recovery and the Xionia 010-anykernel kernel. With that kernel though, your home key and menu key will be switched, but well worth it.

I use the asopCWMod recovery v3.0.2.4 I have the same problem with all the IHO builds, but I found that if I wait till just when all the apps have loaded and all the app icons are visable, then hit a lock screen widget and turn the screen off(wait 5min). When I turn the screen on and unlock everything works great.
I have to do this with every reboot,but it works.

Anyone have this recovery?
Sorry to bring up an old thread, but all the links for the recoveries in the first post are dead.
Would anyone happen to have Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip?
I have the .img version of it, but I'm not familiar with adb.
If anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

that's a lot of formatting in your post ;p
on the quick side:
so, my kitkat rom thread and twrp (both in my signature) still have live links to Google drive.
but...
kitkat pretty much requires setting up a sacrificial sd card with that twrp, which you can't remove from the phone. higher speed is better for the card.
that twrp has a kernel which reverses system and userdata, so even if you put it in internal mode, you have to modify updater-scripts to swap all mentions of system and userdata for it to work. with anything I didn't build, like anything pre-kitkat.
I have harmonia (important to set up the phone for activation) but if it's like my Evo 3d, you'll have to manually set the date back to 2019 or whenever the security certificate expired to get the activation app too connect or it'll just error out.
I also have a zip of harmonia I "fixed" to work with that twrp.
somewhere I also have bobzhome GB. and I think a reversed zip of that too.
I might even have older custom recoveries.
if you search around Google you might find the bobzhome rom stashed away downloadable, I was still able to grab it within the last year.
after a while I'll dig and upload stuff to my gdrive.
it sucks that Android file host deleted all my OV files though. I had a lot there.
Koushik Dutta's Clockwork Recovery:
Attention: Some people experience problems when flashing through Rom Manager. Flashing again usually fixes the issue. Use method below for best results. If on pure stock, your recovery will be overwritten unless you delete your /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
To flash recovery for Nexus S 4G, download recovery 5.0.2.0 or recovery touch 5.8.0.2 and place it into your sdk tools folder. Reboot into bootloader and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo4g.img
or if you prefer the touch version:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img
If you'd like simpler and more organized menus see j_r0dd's mod.

I had some issues doing it through rom manager. It was a no go so I flashed through bootloader.
I haven't checked if old backups are compatible yet. Anyone care to try and post?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Every time I click on the update from inside ROM Manager, something terrible happens. I used think it was because I clicked on the link for the other Nexus S, but I was super duper careful this time.
If I try to reboot into recovery without being attached to my PC after flashing a new recovery in ROM Manager, I get stuck in fastboot. If I tell it to please boot me into recovery so can add a shiny new object to my Android, it tells me, "No ma'am." And, if im being honest, when I can't flash exciting new thingys on the go, existence begins to seem somewhat more futile. I'm sure you understand.
Might as well ask if there's a way I can fix it before I get home (in TEN HOURS) by fastbooting from a terminal or something. Okay, I'm begging.
p.s. I feel like I didn't get invited to most of Version 3 and all of Version 4.

I can confirm they do work.
Trying to upgrade from 4.0.0.2 to 5.0.0.0, I keep getting stuck on "Waiting for device"..
If on windows...your driver is bad.
Try flash_image gui by Joeykrim
Well here is the thing, I can push/pull things from the device, I can adb shell to the device.. Everytime I try flash the recovery, I get the waiting for device
Well if on Windows, fastboot driver needs to be there along with adb.driver. Two different things
Didnt work through rom manager, had to do it via fastboot. I dig the new color!
so rom manager updated my cwm to this one and when i go to reboot into recovery it goes into bootloader and which i chose recovery nothing happens .... first line says FASTBOOT - NO RECOVERY OR BOOT IMG
For anybody having flashing/ pushing/ just getting the new cwm recovery use the flash_image by GUI app located in the ns4g app section. I can't stress it enough, but it your trying to computer up to speed for Android development I understand.

I updated through ROM Manager and it worked just fine. I believe as long as you are running the latest version of ROM Manager you shouldn't have any issues.

Modpunk has a CWM 6.0.0.3 build with his CM9 builds. It works pretty well. There is a Marvel and a Marvelc version.
https://code.google.com/p/cm9-wildfire-s/downloads/list
It's as a PG76IMG that needs to be renamed... Or you can extract it and flash it yourself.

Why you downloading off a random members post when we all know modpunk's work is always released on google code?
Help me please. I am cooking a custom ROM that will be based on stock DXLF2. Problem is, dsixda kitchen's latest version posted last July 2012 is unable to utilize the boot.img to extract the kernel and ramdisk (kitchen says the boot.img format is unsupported). I want to utilize the kernel I compiled. If you must know, I use ubuntu linux as a virtualbox guest (12.04).
All my thanks for the day will go to the fellow who could provide me with a solution as well as an explanation. Thanks and more power to everybody!
Never mind guys. I already solved my little problem. Moderators please close this thread.

Guys, I spent a long time starting with deodexed 4.1.1 stock, added Xposed module and Blackout theme and swapped in all inverted current apps then reodexed but.....since I changed TWRP above 2.5.0.0 my backup is restoring incomplete. I am sticking with a backup of 4.1.1 because WifiTether works on WiMax but not after 4.1,1 so I want a nandroid that restores fully. Is it because TWRP is full SELinux now?
Sent from my HTC One using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2
If you take the nandroid with the new version you'll probably have better luck. Only other thing I've seen, and granted this was on my s3, but with one of the versions I couldn't restore unless I kept the screen on during the restore. But I've also seen restore fail because of the first item too after upgrading recovery and then trying to restore a backup made with an older recovery
