I've seen numerous references to updated versions of ClockworkMod Recovery, up to version 3x. When I first flashed and rooted my Aria back in October of 2010 using the Unrevoked method, the version that was installed was 2.5.0.1
Multiple others have posted to use the ROM Manager App from the Marketplace to update it, however I personally do not like ROM Manager as it seemed to make my phone quirky when using it, and ClockworkMod remained at the same version regardless, so I uninstalled it.
I just completed the unrevoked method again, downloading the latest unrevoked installer for the HTC Aria, and the ClockworkMod version is still 2.5.0.1.
Is this THE version of ClockworkMod for our phone? Or is there another means of updating it that I can't seem to find here on XDA or through several hours of google searches?
Has anyone else found a non ROM Manager update?

There was a question in the Development forum about ClockworkMod 3 and jznomoney replied that Aria users don't need to update to version 3 and in fact he said if you do then you wouldn't be able to install any of the Liberated ROMs. BTW the most current version for the Aria is 2.5.0.1 as reported by ROM Manager.
Thanks for the info. I did invert the numbers in the version and have corrected it.

Hi there.
I recently had to unroot my phone as I lost all my apps and no other method I could find will let me have the latest Market and other apps. (Did look in Slideme but it didn't have ANY of the apps I use).
Anyway, I read that I need to downgrade to cupcake to root it, hence by doing that I will also be forced to downgrade market etc.
Anyway I get to keep these apps?
Cheers (BTW I'm from UK)

I'm thinking someone forgot to flash the htc recovery image.
Anyways, root, flash htc recovery image, flash cyanogen, post in the right section, bingo.
gonna get flamed cause you posted in the wrong section. but I'm assuming you didnt follow directions and didn't flash the defranged zip file before flashing tcyanogen or duper D rom's... http://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip
You will have the latest market after rooting...if that is your question.

when you root your phone, you can then flash a 'modified rom' this keeps root and also enables more features/speed improvements. If your looking for a stock rom but with root download Enom's TheOfficials T-mobile UK. Its basically the latest t-mobile G1 Rom but with root and with working market and all apps. If your more adventurous try SuperCDSIv4 from HTCClays, its extremely fast. Using right now with T-mobile UK and i get all apps. I did have to download MarketEnabler 3.0.8 and change my sim operator number to 23430 (t-mobile uk) as i couldnt see beebplayer, but after changing i can see that now. All apps working.

Thank you! And firstly thank you for not moaning at wrong section (I was confused between this and the other one)
Anyway I have rooted the G1 (gone back to old version, done the telenet lot and installed the recovery image (armons one), I also installed HardSPL. But I cannot find the Enoms images, could you please point me in the right direction so I can get to the latest Dounut and get the market, as If I was to update straight to Cyanogen now I would get the market

Yes you would man....You flash a rom that just has the google apps first and then without rebooting flash the rom of choice on top of it...Super D and Cyanogen both are like this....Most others are not.
For real....Flash the defanged base... LINK RIGHT HERE http://dx.infernix.net/DRC83_base_defanged.zip
and then flash this http://www.benbuchacher.com/superD/2010/03/24/superd-1-10-2
Lol that will get you Super D Black with nexus themed launcher and THE LATEST MARKET.
I also recommend Amon Ra's Recovery image 1.6.2 prior to flashing a new rom.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669&highlight=Sense
Also might wanna flash the Danger SPL. Or use fire rats script. Either way, you have a lot of catching up with the current times....read the cyanogen wiki....lots of info there.
I might sound stupid but what is the difference between Amon_Ra's recovery and Cyanogen's recovery image?

Cyanogen -- Oldie but a goodie.

Ok, being the noob that i am i didnt back up the original stock rom on my phone so now im looking for the verizon stock rom for 2.2 Android. I bought the phone in December. Im not sure what version but i think it was the 2.3.9 not sure since i didnt make the back up. Anyways, if someone could find out the original baseband and system version for 2.2 and post it for download I'd be very greatful.
And for those of you wondering...yes i did use the search function and tried to look for the answer myself and heres what i found:
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Droid-X-Full-2.2-SBF.html
http://mydroidworld.com/forums/droi...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Motorola_Droid_X.png
but anyways this is what i need to know:
1) which of these do i use abover where do i download the Verizon Original Rom i Had on my phone when i bought it in December?
2) what tools do i need to reload it and with instructions.
(**currently i have the z4root/droidx root recovery from koush)
Well if you are root then down load rom manager from the market inside that koush made a stock, but rooted rom of 2.2 inside there. Other then that I would need to know what is the bootloader version, and the system version to help any further.
Yeah I finally got my phone restored to factory but it still shows the 2.2 .1. Version intead of the 2.2 but at least my phone ia working proprly now...I may just back this one up instead and run my themes and stuff

Does anyone know when unrEVOked will be able to find a root for the Wildfire on 2.2.1? I hope they find it soon. From how much they've been delaying it seems like they just don't want to even try. Should I disable the Search online for updates feature so my phone stops updating?
* They will release it when they want to. We have no option or control over them. If they want to try, it is their wish, if they don't want to try, again it is their wish. Live with it.
* If you are already on 2.2.1, there's no point disabling search for updates because it is extremely unlikely there will be any.
*Sigh*, why cant you read already existing threads before creating another one? Is it too hard?
omfg! seems like you have disabled search function for this forum, this topic gets posted at least once a day

WildPuzzle 2.2.1 (Or rather, ANY custom ROM), removes the updated HBOOT. So, obviously, 2.2.1 will be rootable in such cases.

No. You will not be able to use a Custom ROM over Stock 2.2.1 because installing a Custom ROM requires root.

If I understood what you said, then I dont think you have installed the official 2.2.1 update. I cant see that anywhere in your post. (Saying you applied the official 2.2.1 update).
When you went back to the Stock ROM, it was still at 2.1, which is why the HBOOT was still at 0.80. To install the official update, from the Stock ROM, you would have to accept the OTA Update, and then install it, which I don't think you did.

Not possible. There is some error in communication somewhere, but, if it were possible to directly put Custom ROMs over the official 2.2.1, we wouldnt have had threads like this everyday.
unless after you rooted and flashed, you then installed a ruu then updated you did not have 2.2. when you went back did you restore a nandroid backup?
you are able to install ota update on rooted phone

this is the rom i used to get the 2.2 upgrade http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LF2TWEHJ
But isn't it possible to modify oryginal rom from HTC to downgrade HBOOT , and then make Wildfire rootable? Or make some crash in HBOOT witch will allow to root? That's a lot of ways, is it possible that HTC make Wildfire really unrootable on 2,2,1? That they make unlockable bootloader? Like a motorola?
Hey guys,
I have been trying to flash my Samsung Vibrant for a few days now with no success. I rooted the phone using superoneclick, then I clicked on Axura's link on android development section to get Axura 2.3.1.2. I followed the video posted by the dev to install the new Rom. It stated to use OCLF, then use Rom manager to install the app.
Well I went into Rom manager installed clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.2 I believe it was. Then I click on install Rom and it asked if I wanted to backup current rom and wipe cache. I checked both and hit okay, the list came up where I had Axura installed on my Sd I clicked that......it said phone will reboot into clockworkmod recovery to load, after that is when the problem starts. It automatically goes into Samsung recovery i select reinstall packaged and get error e: signature not verified.
I have tried to get into recovery manually by holding vol -+ and power but still loads into samsung recovery not clockwork. Has anyone ran into this problem before?? I've searched all over the forum and google and could not find any info to help me with this. I really would like to install some custom Roms to try them out.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone who can help. I tried to be as specific as I can with the problem but if you guys need more info I can give more. Thank you
Have you updated to 2.2 already? The official 2.2 comes with a new recovery version, that causes problems with CWR.
If you had upgraded, odin back to 2.1, then root and flash a custom firmware from there. I recommend Bionix V 1.3.1, it is pretty beast.

I upgraded to 2.2 Froyo with Kies Mini couple of weeks ago. I was tired of waiting for it and thought it was going to be a big improvement over Eclair but didnt notice anything except losing my MMS messaging!
Is there any way to do it with Froyo before I Odin back to Eclair?
Thank you

Hey. Well searching on the forums or at all I just can't find a straight answer.
I have HTC Wildfire with Android 2.2.1. Can I use the newest Unrevoked 3.32 now to root this device?
I went through all the posts in this thread and the last person on page 47 mentioned he was able to do so: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776&page=47
I want to be sure before I attempt to do this and possibly brick it
Well, thus far, that is the only post that has show unrEVOked to work on 2.2 ota.
May I suggest to you my way?

He (post #461) didn't clearly say that he used unrevoked.
Posting in that related thread doesn't mean using the process right.
And if u can see his previous post (#460), it gives the link to this process

So, don't use unrevoked for wildfire alpharev hboot. Ofcourse we should't forget unrevoked .

Your question was answered. Why bump needlessly? No you can NOT use Unrevoked to root your device. You will have to get S-OFF first via AlphaRev X, then, use SuperOneClick v1.9.5 to get root, and, if you are interested in getting a Custom Recovery to flash Custom ROMs and stuff, you can follow nejc's post.
Unrevoked does not come into the picture at all if you are on official 2.2.1.
One more thing, there is no way to remove S-OFF once you perform it. (yet) So, if warranty is essential for you, keep this in mind.
EDIT: Read the Post before the post on Page 47 of the thread you posted (Last Post of Page 46). Then you will see the continuity. He did NOT use Unrevoked to root his phone.
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776&page=47 (same as the link above) is also the method I used and I must say it worked like a charm!

Well, 3xeno, you CAN use Unrevoked to root the device. I did, worked flawlessly.
1.) S-OFFed with AlphaRev X.
2.) Installed 2.1 RUU.
3.) Used Unrevoked to root and flash recovery.
4.) Happily using CyanogenMod 7.

It may be working. But it shouldn't be recommended buddy.
After s-off, ruu + unrevoked is completely unnecessary process and a risky process which includes possibility of errors. And moreover a lot lengthier process.
I think these are some disadvantages of it...
-- it includes flashing of radio and an attempt to overwrite hboot both of which are sensitive process. Ofcourse RUU generally will not brick the phone. But when phone is S-OFF, it skips the signature check which means AFAIK it cannot differentiate a bad file and a good file.
-- there will be two eclair RUUs present. And flashing the oldest eclair RUU will mostly result in touch screen failure. This should be fixed by flashing the newest eclair or froyo ruu again.
-- I think the unrevoked version installs the 2.x recovery for wildfire. Since unrevoked is not released for a while for wildfire I think so. If yes, it means cannot install 2.3 roms unless using rom manager or by reflashing recovery with regular processes. And ofcourse the offline charging bug.
Unrevoked software hacks the greatest security so as to install the custom recovery. And what if there is no security at all. Even simplest methods can do the job.

Sure, but, I wont recommend it. Also, because it seems that this method is widely recommended, the forums are full of "Touchscreen Fail" after flashing the Eclair RUU.
Besides, I don't get what's the issue with using Fastboot, where just 1 line in Command Prompt will do it, but, whatever suits people............ Fastboot is supposed to be a breakthrough feature when you get S-OFF using AlphaRev X, and, it's sort of an "insult" to not use it.
Well, it worked for me. I guess I'm lucky.
