yes that is the latest radio version. it came with froyo.
and how do u think u will update the radio alone. is it with PC49IMG.ZIP process.
i dont know whether updating radio alone (excluding boot.img + recovery.img) gives any issue to ur phone. can someone clarify that

Try using cwm fakeflash by "instalupdate.zip" this will revert back to old cwm on a temporary basis so you can flash roms and radio that are not written in new script language. Be careful flashing new radio as can damage your phone if you get it wrong

Eddster3000, i've tried to downgrade the cmw via RomMenager, it looks like i am getting temporarly the older cwm, but there is one major problem.. it doesnt see files on my sd card, only in cwm 3.0.0.6 it is working fine but cant flash radio but in 2.5.0.7 works only temporarly cwm but without seein the files on my sdcard ;f
is there a way to use adb to flash the radio? if yes then how to do it? i think this would be the simpliest way

If you used AlphaRev, it would give you fastboot support (I think) so it would probably let you flash radio through USB connection.
What is your SD capacity? If you can, try on another one that is 2GB or less.

my sd card is 2gb, what do you mean by alpharev?
i am on w7 x64 i flash cmw via adb so i thought flashing radio wont be a problem will it?

mlotson Have look at post 5 on this page =http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396

mlotson - go to alpharev.nl for info. For now, only read the info, don't download anything. It's not released for Wildfire yet, but it's not that far away.

first of all i have s-off because i've used xtc clip. second of all that guide is reffering to clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 probably because the 3.0.0.6 doesnt support some scriptting which is why i cant flash my radio, however i need to downgrade my cwm do 2.xx to be able to flash radio and flash ruu.zip file. just tell me how to permanently downgrade cwm to 2.xx and i'll be fine.. i promise ;p
now it seems like normally i have cwm 3.0.0.6 but when i run rommenager it says it's 2.xxx the problem is that there is some sort of incompatibility between these two, one sees the files on my sdcard and the older one doesnt.
what cwm are u using right now? and where can i download it?
@ up date, the whole situation is probably because od 3.0.0.6 cwm, it did something to my sd card so cwm 2.x.x.x.x doesnt read it properly.. question is how can i fix it? now i have cwm 2.5.0.7 and it shows only clockworkmod/ folder on my sd while i have many many other files.. but when i change it to cwm 3.0.0.6 it reads all the files and every thing is all right but i cant install old roms because of scripting method which is not supported by cwm 3 < i guess removing the whole recovery wont do the problem because that is not the first time i flashed recovery and under 3.0 i cant read my sd in recovery.. please help!it pain in the as$.. -,O

I'm not sure how to permanently downgrade CWM but I'll see what I can found out. I think CWM will always show 2.xxx in Rom-Manager which is the fakeflash version, even if you have upgraded CWM to 3.xxx
I'm on new CWM 3 and it's same as you describe in RM but only differance is that I can temp' downgrade CWM and flash all old scripts.
Do you think it's to do with XTC clip process? I'm not a programmer so I'm afraid I can only help with suggestions

now i am sure that it has something to do with ext, ive partitioned the sd card in cwm 3.0.0.6 to do so i had to formatted sd, then i flashed cwm 2.5.0.7 and went into cwm, now it doesnt show anything on my sd card it keeps sayin "no files found." ... ;F how to fix it .. ;o it's annoying

Surely if u have formatted the sd card them no matter which cwm you use will not find any files? Or did you format then copy the radio image to the root of the sd card? Have you tried a standard format of sd card using pc or laptop with a card reader? then copy files to sd card via pc before putting back into the phone.

i have formatted with pc, the sdcard was in the phone (i dont have card reader), it didnt fix it. so i formatted it again in cwm but again it didnt help, next i partitioned sd in rom menager but it also didnt work. now i am on cmw 3.0.0.6 because thats the only one which reads properly files from my sdcard.. i think ill try different sdcard but i dont have one for now ;p i guess til then i wont know for sure what's the reason

The solution is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067031
and here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15
In fact you have to reinstall CWM 3.0.0.6 this will fix your radio or/and gps problems as it did on me

have you partition you sdcard? you need 512mb for ext, 96 for Linux swap and remaining for fat32. This will erase all your data on the sdcard! so make a back up before doing this. you can partition you card through the recovery for sdcard
using a freshly formattd 4gb card with only the data im flashing on there which is less that 100mb
so with the supereclair I need to partition the sdcard before applying the rom?

majority of the roms here require partitioned card's unless stated in the OP
So how exactly do I do that? the new recovery utility doesnt have an option to partition. also what format do I partition to?
I'm guessing partition into 3.4gb , 500mb, 100mb
This is nothing to do with partitions.. although if you get Amon-RA's recovery back on there's a menu to do all that easily. JF's stuff for the dream is all ancient now.
Your problem is that Supereclair requires the DeathSPL, or enough knowledge to hack your way round the requirement. The only safe way to flash the deathspl is through fastboot.. do you know how to use that? There's a guide around here somewhere. Whatever you do, DONT FLASH THE DEATHSPL FROM RECOVERY.

try this http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
do you have the danger SPL and the required radio? I'm guessing you don't have that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625886
that thread has all the info and links you need.
REMEMBER:
1) FLASH RADIO
2)FLASH SPL
If you don't follow that order that means you have a fancy paper weight.

I gues it's not worth it then. Then how come cyanogen wouldnt boot. it flashed succesfully, but never got past the G1 screen
card partitioned. I just want a rom that can do the things I mentioned. currently running donut by laszlo
I have hardspl now
EDIT:installing danger/death spl now
wait a minute. you say not to install deathspl from recovery where as the guide says to do it

Yes, but recently it has been found that the safest way (and least likely to brick) is through the spl (fastboot).... these guides were written before this was discovered
Since I cant find a rom I like 100% can I get a rom I like and then add app2sd, multitouch, swap, etc to it?
Also I can flash all the roms I want and not worry about a new spl or recovery being loaded. right?

How can I use cwm recovery with dandiest's desire z rom?

You have to partition your SD card (gparted/ubuntu...)
1st: fat32 put the rom-zip into the root of this partition
2nd: ext4 1GB
3rd: ext4 400MB
4th: linux swap
Install CWR via MAGLDR like flashing a NAND rom (DAF etc...)
reboot, enter MAGLDR and goto boot AD SD - now U enter CWR
and then follow the steps as mentioned in the rom thread. (chose ZIP dfrom SD card... install... reboot...)
Good luck
It´s quite easy.
The above post will work UNLESS you use one of the cwm 1.3 partitions. Using cwm 1.3 puts the recovery files on NAND (so no need to copy files to the root of your sd card for recovery to work. In order to boot into Recovery you need to select AD Recovery instead of Boot AD SD

[Q] how to use cwm?

i've recently flashed the MDJ's cyanogen 2.6 onto my HD2. If i wanted to update rom using CWM how do i backup etc.. will i have to partition my SD or not? I'm quite unsure on how to use it in general and would be grateful if someone could fill me in on the basics.
thanks
If you are using a CWM 1.3 partition (installed to NAND) with magldr 1.13, then to get to CWM Recovery you go to option 8: AD Recovery on magldr menu. Then in CWM go to "backup and restore" and backup your rom. You can obviously restore it from here later if needed.
To flash a rom, go to "install rom from sd card", then select the zip file from its location on the sd card and choose install. Pretty simple really once you get the hang of it.

i would like to know if their is any way possible other then using DAF if i could flash my HD2 with 400M recovery since i accidentally flashed it with 130M recovery just before it being broke.
i cant install GINGERBREAD since it needs more then 130M partition on the phone and no GINGERBREAD out on XDA supports the use of SD card as phone memory. i have tried more then 6 gingerbread's using CWM mode but no luck.

How to update jellyblast rom using CWM
I have flashed jellyblast v3 on my samsung galaxy y but the ota updates usually fails to update can you please help me how to update the rom using CWM??
This is a very old thread, of a problem for the HTC HD2. You have a samsung sth, why are you posting here and reviving a very old thread? anyway here is how (we do it):
You should download the ROM's update .zip, copy it to your sdcard, then boot into cwm and select "install zip from sd" or something like that, and finally select the newly copied zip and go through installation.

[Q] cannot install any zip via CWM

i have a really big issue, for some reason i am unable to install any rom through cwm, i follow the instruction in every rom i tried and failed. in CWM, when i pick "Choose zip from sdcard" and then the rom, the installation stays for like less than a second, i tried to download and install magldr 1.13, ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5, and the Rom A LOT and still fail though, i tried googling the solution but failed to find one...by the way i am familiar with task 29, tried it twice and failed... for some reason i dont have an issue with installing Roms via DAF...any solutions????!!!!!!!!
Also, there isn't a CWM v3.0.0.5 for the hd2, the current version is 1.13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
Maybe wrong CWM partition.
How do you copy the .zip to the SD card?

sry to write that wrong, yes i do have the latest CWM, i copy my zip using a card reader
So you put your phone off, get your SD card in your pc, Copy the .zip to the root of your sd. (Safe remove the SD card from pc)
Put SD back in phone, phone on, open CWM, select: Install zip from sd card, select the .zip.
and in the installation progress it just goes off? Can you try another ROM, see if that's the problem.
tried a few different roms and the same issue keeps happening...any solutions?
Start from scratch, Winmo 6.5, Task29, Magldr 1.13, CWM 1.13 and hope for the best.
i tried doing that now....again, and still fail..
dear GOD i cant believe using a sandisk adapter would be fixing the whole thing and that a card reader wouldnt work...though thanks alot for ur help man!!

[Q] Cant get into recovery, re-install under Linux?

I have flashed several roms using CLW already and it always worked fine, but now I'm really stuck.
The problem is that I installed the Hyperdroid CM7 rom. It worked fine. But when I wanted to install the Google Apps I just couldn't get into the recovery mode from the MAGLDR menue anymore. It just says "ERROR ERROR: Cannot read ramdisk image". I tried to update the CLW using the Rom Manager but it didn't solve my problem. Unfortunatelly I also can't boot the rom anymore now (I can't since I formated the SD card).
Can I now just install CLW again (over the existing version) with the "USB Flasher" option from the boot menue? Or can I repair the installed version somehow?
Is there a way of installing CLW under Linux? I've tried using WINE to run the daf.exe but it didn't work since it couldn't find the the usb connection.
Which would be the preffered method of installing roms NAND roms with Linux?
Thanks for any help in advance!

ROM Manager isn't compatible with MAGLDR, which is probably why your phone was messed up when you tried to use it. It only works if you use the cLK bootloader. As for your problem, I really can't see much else you can do other than fresh installing CWM through USB Flasher. I don't use Linux so I can't help you there, sorry.
Oh, I wasn't aware that MAGDLR isn't compatible with the ROM manager because it came with the MAGDRL/CWM rom i flashed. But thanks for that information!
Can I just install CWM "over" the allready installed but not existing version? Or will that cause even mor eproblems?

I think that would be fine, there isn't much point in Task29ing unless you are having major issues.
Ok,so since I couldn't get hold of a windows PC yet I couldn't re-install clockwork flashing with USB cabel.
But I couldn't load CWM recovery from SD card as described in this post #4 of this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352395
I was not able install the CWM then in the second step form zip file on the SD card. Some error message appeared, but I was able to flash a ROM. So my CWM is still broken, but the ROM is working fine which is ok for me now. When I get access to a Windows PC I'll re-flash CWM too.
So the "Linux problem" isn't solved but anyone experiencing problems to get into recovery from MAGDRLR menu should try the way in the above mentioned post.

Glad to hear it You aren't putting CWM 5.0.2.6 SD as a zip on your SD card by any chance are you? Because you need to extract it to your SD, I misread it first time around and was quite confused as to how that worked as a .zip file.
