Clockwork update 2.5.0.1 to 2.5.0.7

I am trying to update to the newest Clockwork.
When I apply the update.zip the newest Clockwork appears, but if I reboot the old version appears.

You need to use UnrEVOked to permanently flash a new recovery to your device.

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
from this site koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
big thanks

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.

Dave

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

Good question...
I have the same issue!

A factory reset in recovery will wipe everything - cache, dalvik-cache and battery stats.

only unrevoked3 does it permanently...
lock in here and you get the newest version in top of the site...

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.

[Q] Widlfire recovery

Hope i have posted in the right place...
firstly it bit of a background to what i did before my phone wont work.
i succesfully got S-of using Alpharevx and ROOT using Super one click
i then tried to get Clockwork recovery installed i tried to flash this using Root toolbox this apeared to work but when i rebooted the phone it now stays on HTC loaging screen
i have tried to in HBOOT but Recovery just flashes the screen and goes back into Hboot
is there any ways of flashing a Stock recovery image from my pc?
many thanks Michael

Installing Clockworkmod from the PC is what you should have done in the first place. It's far easier and prevents many hassles.
Follow this post, and use Fastboot to flash Clockworkmod again. Or, if you would rather not have Clockworkmod and necessarily want the Stock Recovery, flash an RUU, it will restore the stock recovery.
The post can be found here:

I have sorted it now worked great
Thanks

[Q] Switching to another recovery

I would like to switch to another recovery without switching ROM nor HBOOT.
I would like to use PB99IMG.zip file
with 2 files inside
android-info.txt - the same as in all cases
and
recovery.img from recovery i wish to flash
Inspiartion from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936
file structure and android-info.txt from here:
www.4ext.net/PB99IMG.zip
I have not tried that method so i ask.
THE QUESTIONS:
Is it possible to do it as described?
Is it a safe way?
Is it a right way?
Will I be able to switch between recoveries that way or just update versions?

4EXT Recovery Touch is a nice peace but I would recommend using the classic version until the final version gets finished, but if you feel up to it... than go for it. I had a go myself and it worked fine.
I dont think you should have any trouble switching between recoveries and keep the rom and hboot I did it a few times myself. The best thing to do is to do a nandroid backup with the recovery you have than switch to the new recovery and if for some reason your rom gets messed up (cause you never know) you can still switch back to the old recovery and restore the rom. (as long as you have the backup of the rom on the sd card you should be fine)

Thank you for your answer.
4EXT Recovery Touch was just an example. Question is this type of PB99IMG.zip file is the proper solution?

You can either flash a zipped version of the recovery via your old recovery, or flash the recovery image (.img) via fastboot (s off needed).
The method you describe, is flashing via hboot. You need to place that zip on the root of your sd and enter the hboot menu
I remember 4ext has an application which flashes the recovery for you, though you need root for it.

I used android flasher to flash 4EXT recovery. Easy to use. More info can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638

Sorry if this is wrong place to ask...
What do other recoveries offer that's better? I don't even remember which one I'm using, s-off'd and root with revolutionary some time ago so I think it's theirs.
Looking at the thread that inspired the thread starter, the obvious is the touch capability, but other than that seems to offer same functions. Is it maybe more reliable/faster?
Thanks for all!

I used 4EXT due to the fact that instead of scrolling up and down with trackpad/volume buttons (CWM), 4EXT ui is touch, easier to navigate.

Why 4ext?!
4Ext furthermore offers a lot of new functions:
- USB unbrick
- Partition SD card
- Check Alignment
Full List of Features:

I used 4EXT Recovery Control from the Market to switch to 4EXT, if you just wanna test I'd suggest the free 4EXT Recovery Updater (Get both from http://www.4ext.net/)

[Q] ClockworkMod recovery E:Can't mount CACHE:...

Hi,
I rooted a friend's HTC desire a while ago but never installed a custom ROM, it's still sitting on the stock sense ROM.
Recently they got an OTA update and they tried to install it in the regular way, which of course didn't work. I tried to apply the update via ROM manager and then clockworkmod recovery but I keep getting errors:
E:Can't find MISC
E:Can't mount CACHE:/recovery/command
...
I also get errors when trying to backup or trying to install the update, including the file doesn't exist and can't mount sdcard (photo attached). However, I am able to browse the sd card fine from within clockworkmod (i.e., when selecting "install ROM from SD card" option).
I have tried flashing different versions of clockworkmod to no avail, always the same issue (tried 2.x and 5.x)
Do you guys have any idea what I can do? Note that this is a friend's phone so I don't have unlimited access to it, it will take me a while to try different things out.
Thanks!

Your friend's Deire might be a PVT4 one. These hardwarerevisions so not work with CWM Recovery.
So Flash 2.3.3 RUU (save important data before you do that) and use Revolutionary to set your friend's phone S-OFF. Than flash a different recovery via fastboot (most recommended are 4EXT or RMD) and then flash the superuser.zip from Revolutionarywebsite to give your friend's Desire root.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
Note that I already have S-OFF and root on the phone, I did it using Unrevoked and it worked like a charm. Clockworkmod recovery is installed, it just won't actually work. So I can't actually flash anything right now, not even stock ROM.
I'll try install Amon Ra using ROM manager and see how we go from there.

Apologies, here is the promised attached photo.

Look for 4Ext Recovery thread here on the Desire Section. You will be able to get an apk from that post. Install it and download the 4Ext Recovery using that app. Its better than Clockworkmod.
via xda app

4ext.net and install from the application itself (recovery updater), and I agree, is MUCH better than Colckworkmod

[Q] Problem with CWM 5.0.2.0 stable installation.

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.

That what u have to flash is temporary.
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
here name is the name of recovery zip AS IT IS.
