Put cwmod on the root of your sd card. Download terminal emulator from the market. In terminal emulator type
su
press enter
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofrecovery.img
press enter
Replace nameofrecovery with whatever the name of the file is.
When you reboot into recovery it should be cwm 3.0.0.5 (should be amber font)

it shows file not found, even when i write the name of the file.

From the htc stock rom, you need to do it from your pc using fastboot. It won't work with terminal emulator.
Which rom are you running?
Do you have adb installed on your pc?
If you have fastboot, put the recovery.img in the tools folder of your sdk, start up your phone to the bootloader, connect your phone with the usb cable then open a command promt, navigate to the tools folder and type
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Press enter then type
fastboot reboot
Should take aboot 5 seconds

Try using adb shell from your command prompt then use the same commands you used in terminal emulator.

i think so, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 i used that tut. is it so many different S-OFF's ?

Ok, with that s off method you can't use fastboot commands. Did you try the commands in adb shell?

if you mean the commands that is written in cmd, then i have already tried it, and it failed.

In the command prompt, navigate to your sdk then type
Adb devices
Press enter
Your device's serial number should show
Then type
Adb shell
Press enter
If you get a $ type su then press enter
Then enter the same commands you used in terminal emulator
Why do you want cwm 3? It's generally only for 2.3 roms.

I just installed it now thats why i want it, but do you know how i get back to the older cwm? do i just flash it in ROM manager?

Excellent. What worked finally?
To go back to an older version use rom manager or the use same way you upgraded.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

You could try this, i haven't tried it myself so don't know if it works, but read it somewhere here on xda.
Go to this path with any file manager.
/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries
And copy that file to another folder. Then copy the name of that recovery (2.x.x.x) and then rename your 3.0.0.5 recovery with the old recovery name and just copy the new (2.x.x.x) to this path. (Just say yes to overwriting the file).
/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries
Then reboot and then boot into recovery and that should have changed the cwm from old to new. The color should be orange now and not green, if still green it didn't work.
If it doesn't work just restore the old recovery .img you've copied earlier (2.x.x.x).

Problem with HTC Sync

I hope this is in the right place, please mode feel free to move or flame me.
I've read the guides and know what I need to be doing, but I'm having trouble with downgrading. I've downloaded the downgrade and the zip file, but once I'm in the cmd prompt the code I'm putting in is not working. I've got HTC Sync installed on my of, but.I've.noticed that the adb shell tag is not.present in the cmd prompt bar accross the top.
Now the guides require HTC sync or adb drivers. Am I missing something obvious?

Waiting for the answer..
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

i dont think htc sync is the problem.. the problem is , do you have the android adb file ?
if you are using windows, then download the adb file here .. --> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22096653/Android-adb.zip
extract the file (at desktop for example) , and then cmd, point to the folder ..
cd /desktop/android-adb/
only then you can use "adb" command..

Im still having trouble.
I extracted the adb file to c: along with the downgrade folder and radio tool etc.
Once in the cmd prompt i can change directory and get to
c:/downgrade
From here i just get error messages.
I tried installing htc sync to see if the drivers from that will help but i seem to be missing something.
Also i just cant get it to work on my windows xp sp2, but can get to this stage using a windows 7 sp3 laptop

Hmm.. Make 'Charge only' and 'USB-debugging'. And try again.

Already tried that.
It's wierd, although its been a while since I rooted anything I'm struggling to do the most basic part when it comes to the DHD. I rooted and flashed my G1 like a whore, but can't even downgrade this thing.

[Q] fastboot on linux (ubuntu)

hi guys, i'm really sorry if this is really simple, but i just cant get my head around it and i've been googling for ages and i just keep getting more and more confused.
i'm basically trying to get fastboot enabled on my ubuntu linux install (11.04). would someone please explain to me in simple terms how to get it installed and running on linux, please? from the start would be great, as i find it harder to carry on half way through something. i appreciate the help. you guys are awesome

As soon as I get on my computer at home, i'll outline the steps and attach fastboot
(gimme an hour)
Update: it's taking me longer to get home than expected... Gimme till about 1pm cst (central standard time)

Fastboot on Linux
I too had issues when I switched from Linux to windows (recently) and here's how I got it (just for documentation)
1) I downloaded android-sdk for linux, did the installs, but lo and behold, there was no fastboot...
2) Searched google for about 45 minutes
3) Finally figured out that HTC had it in their development website
4) Downloaded & chmod'd it so it'd work
5) Figured out that the r800x really can't be unlocked via all my attempts (so far...)
Here's a step by step as to how to get it without my hassle.
1) Attached is fastboot, download it, extract it (you can do this later in terminal if you feel like it, or you can do it now in the file explorer)
2) Open up terminal (if you don't have a shortcut for it, make one, it's the most useful thing in linux. ever.)
3) Type in su, enter your password (if you have it setup) and become root. (Or, you could call sudo whenever it is necessary, it's your preference)
4) goto the folder you downloaded fastboot to in terminal (the default chrome download place is /home/[insert your username here]/Downloads)
5) type in chmod [your preference for setting permissions here] fastboot
6) type in (sudo) cp fastboot /bin/
7) now you can call fastboot from anywhere in the terminal!!
This can also be done with adb
Any questions??

^_^ thank you so much!! you have made my life so much easier!! just one question. if all i'm doing is flashing the occasional kernel with fastboot, or pushing/pulling etc with adb, do i still need all the adroid sdk stuff? or can i just delete all the stuff now?

Honestly, I don't know.
That being said, try copying all the extra stuff from where it is currently to another location, and try running adb and fastboot, if it works, delete the extra stuff, if it doesn't, don't mess with it

i am trying to do this with no luck. any suggestions

Where are you stuck?

Are you in fastboot mode?? (Blue led on top)
(To get into fastboot mode on the Xperia Play, hold down the search button before and while you plug in the usb cord)

update: check http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-x2/149566-droid-x2-boot-menu-recovery.html and see if that helps

For linux I found I had to add the "-i 0x0fce" before my commands or else Id be left with the waiting for device, try this:
fastboot -i 0x0fce getvar version
Also you may have to make the file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
With this inside (note that 0fce is the idVendor for SE):
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"
That being said I think this accomplishes the same thing as just putting the -i 0x0fce before your command

I navigated to /etc/udev/rules.d. but I cannot create file.

[HOWTO] simple. window usb driver with adb shell without android sdk.

hi just found another method to install the adb driver for SGW. because i encounter problem for not detecting SGW even after installing samsung kies. If you encounter the same problem as me feel free to follow my steps.
1. Download the driver from below links.
a. x86 google Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86-Download-96692 click http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDo...SB-Driver-for-Windows-x86-Download-96692.html
b. x64 google Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64-Download-96693 click http://drivers.softpedia.com/progDo...SB-Driver-for-Windows-x64-Download-96693.html
2. unzip the downloaded file to you designated folder.
3. go to device manager in window system
4. select properties on samsung_android device
5. click on update once you received a prompt select browse manually for driver.
6. point it to the extracted folder.
7. there are 3 things you need to install. just point all the unrecognized device to update from the extracted folder.
8. you should have all the driver need to connect SGW to windows.
For the adb shell you can use google (android commander) http://androidcommander.com/ just download it and install. Run the program and you will notice shell command on the tab.
I've tested and it work on my SGW. If it does not work on you please dont complain.

Thanks your sharing

If you open the start menu on your computer and right click computer, click properties you should go to some menu and in the top left it will say device manager I think, then you will go to another menu search for other devices or your phones name which should be something like don't Ericson 4.0.A.2.... etc. Something beginning with 4 and has dots a zero and A.

Sorry but that wasn't even relevant.... to use adb you need android sdk.
move apps to sd? command is
adb shell
setinstall location or something like that.
move files to sd is
adb push filename /sdcard

download the android sdk or a adb package.
extract/install the package/sdk
download adb via the sdkmanager if using the sdk
then load adb.exe via cmd e.g shift + right click - open command window here.
type 'adb shell'
(make sure usb debuggin is on on the phone and usb plugged in.)
then type 'pm setInstallLocation 2'
then type 'reboot'
then type 'exit'
all without quotes.

Still sounds so complex! Lol, will try though. Thanks
