You must use a 2.x version of recovery to restore a Froyo rom. 3.x is for Gingerbread.

resotre 2.x recovery
i already installed the gingerbread recovery like he did, how do i revert back?

Lots of choices. I recommend using Fastboot, but you could also reinstall CM7 and use ROM Manager. I suppose if you had the 2.x image handy on SD you could also flash it from Recovery. But I haven't bothered to check this last.

Thanks I was wondering about that, would the lower recoveries be located in the Rom manager older recoveries section?

you don't unzip the ROM. Just go to recovery, make a nandroid, wipe EVERYTHING, then flash the .zip
Is the nandroid option always there? Or do I have to install something because I don't see it

Clockwork recovery?

How come in the mt4g we have to flash an updated recovery in order to flash a gingerbread rom and the g1 and evo users don't they can just flush any rom using always the same recovery?

Because the mt4g and the g2 are totally different from the old htc phones internally. Someone might Wanna go into more detail, but that's the bare fact

Update To Clockwormod 3.0.0.8 For Gingersense Roms

ok if anyone is wondering about this to load the new gingersense roms you must update your clockworkmod version to 3.0.0.8 with rom manager...AND YOU ALSO MUST HAVE HBOOT .92 UPGRADE IF YOU DONT...clockworkmod 2 will not work because gingersense is edify script.also one more not don't use rom manager to flash roms flash them manually!!
thanks for the heads up and nice and bold lol
From where i can download?

Is it true that if you update HBOOT to .92 that backups made with any earlier HBOOT (.72 or .77) versions will NOT restore, regardless of CWM version?
So, if you flash .92 HBOOT, you cannot restore backups unless you flash back to the earlier HBOOT, correct?
If all that's true, how does CWM 3.0.8 figure into that if you want to flash an old backup?

I have been using cw2.x to flash gingersense Roms with out issue. My understanding is that edify was backwards compatible. Did something change in this?

Can anyone confirm, if you upgrade hboot, backups made with earlier versions cannot be restored?

That is correct.
This thread simply is wrong, I've flashed every gingersense rom to date on 2.5.1.2 and have never had to wipe or flash anything more than once.
I also have been using 3.0.0.7 with no issues

Hboot.92. Rec 3.x. need check that
Sent from my Optimized Inc using XDA App
This is only partially true. Some gingersense roms still use the old scripting. For instance the nightlies for WarmZ require CWM2: Link.
Unless gingersense refers to Sense 3.0 specifically... but I thought it was sense on gingerbread.
or you can use cmw 3.0.0.7. it worked for me.
Not trolling. Just giving people the option.
And 2.5.x.x has been working for me... Go figure.

I'm not sure why, using CWR 3.0.0.8, but I've had to go into "mounts and storage" and manually format /boot, /system, /data, and /cache or I get terrible FCs when flashing any GingerSense ROM.

Ive also been having to go to mounts and storage to manual format stuff. Im using 3.0.0.7 I was told to use that one if I had OLED
HBOOT .92 is apparently required, but from what I've been told, if you have an AMOLED screen use CWM 3.0.0.7 and for SLCD use 3.0.0.8.
for my amoled, I found 3.0.0.7 works better than .8

quick question about rom manager

i keep seeing 3.0.2.4 being referred to but the market version is 4.3.1.8. is it safe to install the latter, or is 3.0.2.4 the preferred version for our phone? thanks!
You are confusing ROM Manager version and Clockwork Recovery version. When the term clockwork mod (CwM) is used, it is referring to the recovery. ROM Manager is the app available in the market.
The recovery is currently version 3.0.2.4.

[Q] Do I have to update my my touch 4g to flash a rom?

Because I'm running on a rooted 2.2.1 phone. I followed gfree's ultimate root and now I want to flash a mod , so do I have to update my software?
Anyone ?...........
You can just start flashing. You're already set. Just make sure you boot into recovery and make nandroid of your current rom. Might want to update recovery through rom manager before anything though.
