Okay, so when is the CWM v3 going to start being compatible with Sense based roms so I can flash back my stock Sense to get my Data connection back and then restore my CM7 nightly back? Is this possible, or am I missing something? I would really like to know if I can restore my data connection when switching back to my Evo after using my Epic for a while. Is there a way to do this rather than going back to a Sense rom to get data back?
Why don't you just flash a older version of Clockwork, flash a sense rom, then go back to your current set up?
CWM 3 is compatible with all types of ROMs. It's probably because the ROM you're trying to use is packaged in a ZIP with Amend scripting instead of Edify. Support for Amend scripting was removed by Google in the stock recovery as of 1.5 so Koush removed support for it in CWM 3. There's not much you can do other than flash another recovery, such as an earlier verison of CWM. It's up to the individual devs to update their scripts and it can be difficult, every time I try to change one of my scripts to Edify for the theme I created, I end up with a ZIP that won't flash at all.

What I've been doing, but its a really a pain in the arse. Was hoping for backwards compatibility.
[RED-CWM] (not orange)
Alright sick of scanning 3 different threads trying to help people with the new Clockwork manager I decided to write up this guide. This was tested from stock, I flashed back to stock to test both these methods, and they should work for everyone.
Stock versions tested: DI01 (stock), DJ05 (stock), odin method works flawlessly on these versions. cwm was not replaced by sammy kernel.
Stock DL09 will remove cwm on reboot, install a different kernel adryn's should work, pick your poison here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915709 flashed cwm via odin. install kernel, then rebooted, if you get stock recovery flash via odin one more time.
Nonvoodoo EB01 currently some people report it will boot to blue recovery after installing new roms. nonoodoo users should leave, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip on the root of there sdcard that way after a new install of a rom you can get back to cwm. after applying udate.zip, install cwm-recovery-ALL.zip. (Thanks Landshark68)
To get to stock use adrynalyne's DI01 package get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648 flash via odin.
First I would like to thank jt1134 for fixing up the new cwm get your perferred version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Odin method (preferred method stock users do this one!)
1. Alright let’s do this, head over to jt’s original post and download the cwm-recovery-ALL odin:
2. Plug phone into PC and turn off phone
3. Pull battery in phone and then press the down volume button
4. Open odin on PC and press PDA load cwm-recovery-ALL.tar, DON’T MESS WITH ANY OTHER SETTING! Then hit the start button.
5. Boot into recovery (cwm) do this by holding both volume keys plus the power button till you see Samsung screen, you can let go then.
6. Congrats your done now install your custom roms, kernels, radios, and other various things!
Clockwork manager method (only if you have cwm installed already)
1. Copy new cwm-recovery-ALL.zip to root of SD card. (do not need to rename!)
2. Boot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from sdcard
4. Choose cwm-recovery-ALL.zip
5. Reboot your phone and delete update.zip from root of SD card, and recovery-update.zip from clockworkmod folder.
The cwm should be red, and should say voodoo no matter if you have a voodoo kernel or not.
Rom manager will not boot your phone to recovery, install a new shutdown menu that includes boot to recovery or do a manual boot to recovery.
The new clockwork manager installs to the boot partition of the phone that's why you no longer need the update.zip file. Do not flash the cwm from Rom manager, it’s not needed folks, and will put your phone into an endless boot. The cwm jt gave us is customized for our phones.
Post your questions here I will be happy to answer them.
Below I attacked the clockwork manager files, plus odin3 v1.3 but visit jt's OP and give him a thanks, I'm just the translator, hes got plenty of other crap to do rather than test this out.
I am not responsible for any bricked, broken, or abducted phones.
Tried it, works fine. Took a bit on that first boot into recovery after the install was run (already had cwm installed), you know that held breathe of "did it work"!

just be sure not to flash cwm from rom manager application, or you'll be holding your breath till you black out

Seriously thinking of deleting ROM Manager altogether. I did dl Adryn's revised ROM Mgr but may switch to doing everything through cwm.
I think the slight delay after the double samsung flash is the program working through blue in the background so it jumps right to red afterward.
Adryn's kernel isn't working for me. But that's what searching is for.
I also owe you a huge thanks for all your help earlier.

no prob thats what we're here for.
any custom kernel built for dj09 will work. only use a kernel for your raidio/rom version ie: dI01, dj05, dj09, dl30, ebo1 etc...
Hey Takafiji,
I posted a similar thread over at Android Central about the same time as yours here at xda. I discovered this ability to boot directly to red cwm, and I put together the how-to thread and everything was great until I booted to recovery one time and saw stock blue (2e) recovery. I played around with different options, but couldn't completely get rid of blue recovery. I decided to do some research in jt1134's thread and saw the link to yours and read everything here. I have tried every method in your thread and jt1134's thread and I keep running into the same problem. I can install the new cwm just fine and I can keep booting directly into red cwm just fine until.........I flash a new ROM. I can flash themes, patches, add-ons no problem, still able to boot to red cwm. As soon as I flash a new ROM, I boot to stock blue recovery. The only ROM I have been flashing is Adrynalyne's superclean 2.4. I read in jt1134's post that flashing a stock kernel will revert you back to stock blue recovery. The kernel in Adrynalyne's sc 2.4 is the farthest from stock we can currently get in nonvoodoo EB01. My guess is we will not be able to boot directly to the new red cwm on nonvoodoo until the devs get their hands on the source code and we get some custom nonvoodoo kernels. Any thoughts? Thanks

ummm not sure here, you could try a voodoo kernel, they work wonderfully. how are you rebooting to recovery? rom manager doesn't work all too well in that area, try using the power menu and reboot to recovery that way. i will do some more testing but ive been jumping around on different eb01 roms just fine. Is it all roms or just superclean ones?

I got rid of Rom Manager as soon as we got the long press power button menu with recovery in it. The only ways I boot to recovery are long press power and holding volume down, volume up, and power buttons.
ummm have you tried applying a older cwm after booting to blue recovery? maybe if you booted to that then installed jt's new cwm you'd be set. just a thought. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip should work, if it comes up unsigned we will have to explore different options. I'm trying to figure out why its going blue with a non-stock kernel, the new cwm installs to the boot partition.

Already tried that if the old cwm you are linking me to is the new red cwm for froyo we had before the current one. Loaded that cwm via ODIN, had new red on base of sd card, installed via old red cwm, no luck, went back to blue as soon as i flashed sc 2.4. The only thing I'm thinking is I don't think the kernel in sc 2.4 is truly a custom kernel. I believe I read the kernel in 2.4 is still the stock kernel, just slightly modified by Adrynalyne. Thanks.

have you tried flashing stock di01, then jumping to a stock eb01, maybe that would work. not sure but i know the dl09 recovery overwites cwm. maybe you just got parts of it still stuck there...
Sorry wish i was a c programmer i'd jump on board and start helping create a custom kernel.

No problem. I'm just going to keep going through blue recovery to get to red cwm until we get some custom nonvoodoo kernels. I updated my OP to advise everyone there on nonvoodoo to put update.zip back on the root of their sd card and do the same for now. Thanks again for the brainstorming and ideas.
EDIT- Also to let you know, yes I already tried flashing back to DI01 then to EB01. We are definitely thinking along the same lines.
Well now I'm totally gorked up. I followed Zacisblack's method with your addition of doing the ODIN install first. Now when I get blue recovery and hit apply sdcard:update.zip I go to green cwm. Trying to figure out a solution to that now.
EDIT - fixed that problem. Fortunately I still had a copy of the cwm_froyo.tar
I also have the same issue when flashing a new rom. It always goes to blue recovery.What I have to do every time is in blue cwm go to apply sdcard/update.zip which gets me in green cwm. Then I go to choose zip and scroll down to clockwork and choose cwm-recovery-all and flash it again then scroll down to update.zip and flash it then i go to applysdcard/update.zip and flash that then i reboot. Then next time i boot into recovery it always goes straight to red cwm. Sounds like a pain (and sometimes it is) but in reality it only takes like 5 minutes. I wish i didn't have to do that every time i flash a new rom but thats just part of my routine now as its what works for me.
I might not have to do all of those to get back to red but thats the way i originally got red cwm on my phone from a great write up on jt's thread (sorry but don't remember who did the write up). Maybe I'll experiment with just flashing one of those zip's next time i flash a rom to see if there's a faster way.
But I would really like it if there was a way to just always go to red cwm with a new rom instead of going thru all that.
Fantastic tutorial! Just what I was looking for! Thanks a million!!
Thanks Takafiji! I had just installed the Superclean v2.6 non voodoo and got the stock blue (2e) recovery as well. I tried to apply the update.zip and it took me to orange. I read your original post and it worked wonderfully!
Takafiji Quote from OP:
"Nonvoodoo EB01 currently some people report it will boot to blue recovery after installing new roms. nonoodoo users should leave, <drop box link to update.zip> on the root of there sdcard that way after a new install of a rom you can get back to cwm. after applying udate.zip, install cwm-recovery-ALL.zip. (Thanks Landshark68)"
...now, if I could just figure out why Google Voice can't seem to find my contacts, i.e. voice command "Call Mark Davis", nothing found and defaults to looking on the web.
My phone won't even update the app. When I try it d/l's, starts then aborts saying it isn't properly signed. Guess I'll stay with Adrynalyne's modified one for now.
I used ODIN to flash the new-CWM, but it always seems to boot into blue recovery. Using update.zip gets me into green, which seems to work fine for flashing roms. I've occasionally seen red recovery, but when using update.zip takes me right back to green.
Am I doing anything wrong here?
Thanks for the write-up I flashed recovery with ODIN
In read recovery and working great
again THANKS for the writeup
Hi people a noob question:
I'm on stock V20G 2.3.3 rom just rooted and I want to install this battery theme with power-menu too :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141490
I tried,but my phone reboot and reboot.Can't switch off.I need to unplug the battery.Does it requires a deodexed rom?Or I need to do some cache clean after install?Now I've reverted with nandroid backup,but I really like that theme.
Ok nevermind,solved.I've cooked by myself a mod in UOT Kitchen.It works perfectly.

K,here it is my uot file.
No powermenu anyway.Too complicated for me.Just blue theme circular battery and different font
Hope you like guys.
doesn't work for me made my status bar disappear
;-D
u need to have a Deodexed ROM to implement that, ROM's which are not deodexed will give errors,
just follow the Steps on the main thread and patch the v2 update and everything works smooth
the whole process took me just 15mins now i m on gingerbread 2.3.3 v2 with franco's latest kernel and the circular battery and power menu mod.
read before u start messing with ur phone ppl
;-)
My rom is not deodexed, it is the standard stock LG rom,with root and custom kernel V3 by PaoloM (author of gingerlol rom).
Try to erase cache and reflash the zip.
Otherwise try to learn OUT Kitchen as I did,it's not difficult
same thing happened to me
i am on gingerlol 1.5 i think it is deodexed
i also tried cooking one on uot kitchen but it is giveing me recovery error (Status 0) and the workaround is also not helping
also power menu shows null instead of recovery and reboot menu
help
I have the same setup like you have bilbo75 (stock 2.3.3 rooted with v3 paolo kernel) .
Do you think it will work on my phone?
I ask because i tried earlier to use ringnofade from paolo and i had no gsm afterwards.
I tried the kitchen too and it works well for stock 2.3.3 rom

You have already a rooted rom.Install Cyanogen ROM Mik's 6.5.8. I already did it.Really awesome(Thanks Mik!)If you are scaried to change the baseband, you can flash Cyanogen 7.2.0 of Adfad666 here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436952#5 (The N-series is for new baseband like your phone).Then you will find tons of themes (here and on the market) for the app "Theme Chooser".
If you still prefer stick with stock rom,read the istructions on UOT Kitchen's site.There isn't any black magic.Just read carefully and do a Nand Backup before !!!

customizing
Hello ppl,
I'm using UOT Kitchen from http://uot.dakra.lt and i can tell you that is working with odexed and deodexed roms for any patch that would you like to apply to your stock rom or custom rom.
The customized POWER MENU MOD+circular battery that bilbo75 is asking for is only for deodexed Gingerbread stock or custom roms. If anyone that is on stock or custom rom will flash this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1141490) POWER MENU MOD+circular battery on a odexed rom will get into bootloop.
Also who would like to have ringnofade on their Optimus one there is a solution for both odexed and deodexed, stock or custom Gingerbread roms.
So Gingerbread users stock or custom roms, odexed and deodexed for RingNoFade you have to follow these steps:
0. You must be rooted to can apply the patch.
1. Download RingNoFade from this link http://www.multiupload.com/WVF9LLTMCT and put it in the root of SD CARD not in any directory
2. Reboot in recovery (I use clockworkmod)
3. Make Backup for further restore in case something goes wrong
4. Wipe dalvik-cache and wipe cache partition (Wipe dalvik-cache is in Advanced into Clockworkmod)
5. Choose: Install zip from SD CARD and select the ringnofade_2.3.3.zip
6. Flash it
7. Reboot.
After flashing is taking a while to boot because you have wiped dalvik-cache and cache partition but this is because the system has to rebuild them so don't worry it will boot.
If you don't wipe dalvik-cache and cache partition you will get FC (force close) and NO SERVICE.
Have fun with flashing. I'm not responsible if you brick your phone.

I did read up the differences between odex and deodex roms.. but one small query..
how do i determine if My ROM is odex or deodex?
I'm on stock rooted GB..
Thanks in advance
check with Root Explorer or any other app like Root Explorer in /system/app and /system/framework for *.odex files. If you have them you are odexed.
If you just rooted your phone from non-rooted stock rom, then for sure your are odexed.

Can somebody update this list with the actual links to what you saying to download? I would like to give this a try, but not sure where all these links are.
Assuming you are comfortable with the issues and concepts associated with rooting (terms like bootloader, recovery and ROM's), I suggest you do the following:
1. Go to unrevoked.com and root the Incredible; also run unrevoked-forever to secure S-OFF status.
2. Go to dougpiston.com and get the latest CWM for the phone; 3.0.0.7 if it's Amoled display (Hardware version 2) or SLCD (Hardware version 3). (BTW, note that this ROM erroneously reports Amoled Incredibles as the wrong hardware version). Flash that from hboot. Remove the file from the root directory of the SD card afterwards.
3. Download the 7.07 leaked radio; download the ROM; download the updated OTA kernel from a few days ago.
4. Flash away (I would do ROM, kernel, then radio. Remember to flash dalvik/cache before flashing a kernel; and remember that the radio is flashed in hboot.)

Let me look through your links.. I have already done unrevoked and am S-OFF. I had flashed CM7 but when back to stock looking to flash that OTA that was "suppose" to come out. I'm tired of waiting and Nils ROM looks more of what I am looking for then CM7. But there just seems to be a lot more steps. I am not sure what the latest CWM means? Also not positive on which LCD screen I have.

CWM is ClockworkMod Recovery, which is where you go to flash/backup ROMs. You can update it by downloading the zip and putting it onto the root of your SD card, renaming it PB31IMG.zip, booting into the bootloader (phone off, hold volume down and power buttons), and installing it that way.
You can also open ROM Manager to flash a recovery too. Easier that the PB31IMG.zip way, but they both get the same thing done. If you have an SLCD screen and you have the wrong recovery, when you go into recovery the screen will be black with two white lines down the sides, from what I remember.

AH.... .. OK... Don't know why I didn't catch that CWM... I think I have what I need, hopefully tonight after work I can try this out. If I recall I can see what LCD I have by the model number of the phone... I'll google that quick.
Ok so from what I am reading CWM 3x is not required for flashing ROMs on the Inc... I have it installed but it is version 2.x.. Do I have to have version 3x to flash Nil's 3.0 ROM?
It's not, well not necessarily...but for the 2.1/3.0 Sense ROMs ClockworkMod Recovery does need to be at 3.x.
You can go here to download 3.0.0.8, rename it to PB31IMG.zip, put it on the root of the SD card, and with phone powered off hold down volume down + power buttons to get to HBOOT and flash it that way.
There may be a flashable zip for this somewhere to update, but doing this through HBOOT is pretty simple too.

3. Download the 7.07 leaked radio; download the ROM; download the updated OTA kernel from a few days ago. Link is here.
If I go to your link that is the link for the OTA 7.07 Radio. The ROM I know where to get, but what about the kernel? Does that link install both the radio and the kernel? and then I just need the ROM?

If you're running a GingerSense ROM (NilsP's Ginger Business Sense is), then go here. The thread for this is here. It's a zip file, you flash in CWM like you did the ROM. Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik before flashing a kernel.
If you're running a Froyo 2.2 Sense ROM, you'll need a Sense kernel. An AOSP ROM needs an AOSP kernel. Kernel threads will tell you what version of Android it is compatible with. Flashing an AOSP to Sense won't work, and vice versa. I ran Tiny's Beta5 kernel with NilsP's ROM (here), and it worked great.
The radio link is only for the radio, so it only installs the radio. The kernel link/thread I am linking you to here is for only the GingerSense kernel, compatible with 2.3 GingerSense ROMs.
OK, I think I have it then. I was going to flash Nils •Nils Business GingerSense 3.0 so the link you provided for the kernel should be the one I need right? I have CWM 3.0.0.8 flashed now. I have the correct HBOOT, I also downloaded the OTA Radio, so I think I have everything I need.
One last question if you don't mind... If I use CWM to backup my current system, does it backup, (ROM, radio, and kernel) or if I wanted to go back at anytime would I have to flash the radio and kernel seperate? Have not used CWM to do backup and restore yet.

Yes, that link is the download for the kernel zip file. It'll prompt you to save it somewhere.
A ROM backup backs up the entire ROM and kernel, radio doesn't get backed up as it is completely separate from the ROM/kernel. Don't need to back up the radio. So if you needed to restore a backup, you'd do the wiping of user data and everything like you do before flashing a new ROM. Then when you go to Backup and Restore - Restore, you select your backup, and it brings it back to the point you made the backup (ROM and kernel).
So keep up to date backups, as if you have say a two month old backup that you'd restore, any texts/app info would restore to the point the two month old backup was made. Does that make sense?
Yep... thx for all the info and taking the time...
No problem! Glad to help!
just curious... do you know if the Clock App that is in the stock Android 2.2... Is that still in Nil's ROM? I had tried CM7 and it was not in there. I use that app all the time, so was just curious if it is in there. I like the Time, Alarm, Timer, Stopwatch all in the same App...
I believe it is, since the ROM uses HTC Sense. It also has the HTC Clock widget.
Apologies if this question is fundamentally stupid, I am a noob and have never tried modifying a ROM.
My question is if I can copy a CWM kernel zip file contents into a CWM ROM zip file and flash my phone without breaking / bricking my phone.
Background Info
I typically try and run the latest leaked stock ROM.
At the moment it is EH17.
I swap out the kernel for the plus kernel so that I can run ext4
I'm looking to start trying out some themes
I recently watched qbking77's video on how to uninstall a theme
Its essentially just just re-flash your CWM ROM
I would like to be able to flash without having to swap file systems every time.
Will extracting the ROM zip, overwriting files with kernel zip contents, rezipping, and flashing my phone cause problems?
Thanks for any help you can offer
Hmm, if you are just running a stock rom, you dont need to uninstall anything. You can just download a EH17 theme (or whatever type of ROM you are on), boot into CWM, wipe cashe and dalvik cashe 3 times each and then choose install from sdcard and choose the theme you want to flash.
Now if you want to try another one after that, do the same process. Wiping the cashes and flashing the theme is all you need to do.
