Rom manager doesn't list 3.0, only 2.5.1.4 as being the latest
ROMmanager is 3.0.0.2 the recovery has not changed since november 10.
There's nothing wrong with cwm. Maybe one will come with GB.

Support for ext4 file systems, that GB uses. If you're using any Android 2.2 based ROM, stay with CWM 2.5.1.3.

Yes it did --- I kinda jumped into it and did not really heed Cyanogen's big fat warnings... (reckless flashing) and I couldnt get gapps to flash -- the stuff from rhcp's CM7 thread -- but I got gingerbread going -- then I got distracted all night...woke up this morning trying to make the phone shape up for work -- that was a #fail and the battery seems horrible (then again by no means was it a proper battery test) -- so I decided to restore and that involved new drivers..(for some reason my SDK at work couldnt find the phone so I had to reinstall a fresh SDK (which i named gbSDK)... then found the current recovery at mybrainhurts.com and erased 3.0.0 and fastbooted the froyo recovery back in and restored. easy pie --
gingerbread is a whole 'nother game -- i just hope theres a way to go back and forth between froyo and GB (and eclair/cupcake/donut) without having to fastboot erase and fastboot flash relevant recoveries.
I am sure folks want to know if the new one fixes the "off" mode...and the answer is - i dont know. I didnt check. i kind of hope not because its a feature rather than a bug. theres no quick way to get to recovery when the phone is off. (on to fboot then to hboot then to recovery is too much work)
Is it even worth it to upgrade at this point in time? I'm a bit worried as it seems to be working pretty damn good with what I'm doing now. No partitions on my SD card because I don't care to put apps on it (it's not the fastest class card anyway).

what exactly happened when you flashed the gapps?
at least it didn't fry your g2. i think i might give it a go once i hear a few more success stories. my main worry atm is the ext4 issue. i guess i could just wait until rc1 i guess.
by 'off mode', are you referring to s-off?

I read the rhcp cm7 thread and i needed to unmount system before flashing the gapps. Thats why gapps failed because i didnt read!
By Off i meant how cw doesnt let the phone turn off when charging... i hope cw 3.0 lets us keep that feature.
Ill probably give it another go this weekend...it works its just if you wanna go back to froyo you need to replace recoveries manually..not a big deal but frankly gingerbread isnt all that more exciting than froyo. I feel i have what i need.in Froyo..the gb keyboard...the gb market... and thats fine with me.

Erase Recovery option
Call me naïve, but if people are making full-blown builds with an image recovery and everything from the CM gingerbread source (which includes the Clockwork Mod recovery 3.0.0 image if I'm reading the source properly), could you just go into ROM Manager, go into Settings, and check the "Erase Recovery" option to allow it to erase the recovery between flashes?
I would test this myself, but I need to go home and make myself fresh builds of CM7 and CM6.2 to try swapping/flashing back and forth between. I can report back once I get around to it later this afternoon.
If I understand that option correctly, applying a full flash of these alpha builds of CM7 should write the new recovery image (v3.0.0.0), and if you need to switch back to CM6, you should be able to just reflash a full build of 6.1.1/6.2 back and it will restore the older recovery image (v2.5.1.8 according to the latest froyo version).
EDIT: Negate that thought. Not sure how you would go about forcing the recovery image flash while in recovery. I got to research this a little more...

You can find All Versions of Clockwork Mod Recoveries in ROM Manager. So if you having any problems with old Roms you can use CWM 2.5.
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script, it requires update-binary and updater-script. So there are many mods and themes available which will not work with CWM 3.0. If you know how to convert them into flashable Zips then you will be able to use it. But anyway you can always revert back to CWM 2.5.
Does nandroid backups made with CWM 2.5 work with this new version?
Restoring backups of 2.2 roms doesn't work for me. Only way I can get a 2.2 rom to boot is if I flash a fresh zip

Just use CWM 2.5 to restore backup of 2.2 Roms. It should be working fine, I tried on my DHD and I don't have any issues.
Awesome! Makes things easier when I want to flash CM7.
I was so glad to see this. I had the non-final version installed and it meant if I wanted to go back to Sense I had flash the 2.5.1.3 recovery first. Now with this being on the ROM manager I flashed the 2.5.1.3 then recovered Sense, flashed v3 recovery and backed up Sense. With that done I can go between it and CM7 or any other ROMs that allow far more easily.

True.. Makes my life more easier...
It would have beign nice if I knew this stuff about v3 yesterday...when I couldn't get back any recovery, and I was beginning to believe that is something wrong.with my SD card. But I don,t understand ,why, if is a NEW (and supposedly a better version) doesn't, support the back up made with v2.5 (I read about the .bin, and .zip file in a.upper post, but It's a little to technically for me and I dont understand how this will help me if I use CM7 and ruu 2.3).
And the question is, will v3 recover the backup made with v3 of my sense Rom,because I don,t wanna try again and if it.doesn't,t work ,I will wake up my self again in the orange menu of v3 and then I have to flash again a Rom, downgrade from Rom manager to v2.5 and restore an older backup
Neat!
CM7 official release is probably not to far away then!
Thanks...!
Argh, really, is it so hard to check for the fs during backup, and then restore it using the noted fs? Why the stupid split for ext3 on 2.5 and ext4 on 3 ? Especially since 3 has no problem reading ext3.

Obviously Koush feels it is, don't forget CWM is open source, if you feel the check of file system and appropriate restore / backup is a minor issue submit a patch implementing it for review and I am sure Koush will accept it with pleasure.
re flashed today everything is nice. Except one backup from older CWM is not recognized.
Thanks for the heads-up

I was using MIUI rom on my DHD and I wanted to restore a nandroid backup to return to Revolution HD, when I started Rom Manager, it told me there's an update to 3.0.x (Not 100% if it was 3.0.5 or something else), so I updated it.
Then when I tried to do a nandroid restore to my RevolutionHD backup, it went through the process properly, but it won't boot into the rom.
Can anyone help me out, please. I'm phoneless?

flash cwm 2.5.x from fastboot and reflash revolution
I have CWM 3.0.0.5 and I am unable to load any new roms now. I do not know if this is a common occurrence but everytime I try to boot into recovery, I get a quick flash of the htc logo and it just keeps going to the bootloader. Is this happening to anyone else?
Not sure what is causing it but when I had that problem I first booted to the ROM I had and went copied the *.img file for clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 to /clockworkmod/download/mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/ by mounting my Desire Z as a disk.
I found a copy here of that *.img file in these forums
There is no reason to flash cw3 like that anymore. You can simply do it on rom manager now. You can only flash roms that support clockwork mod 3.

Someone may need to correct me on this but at the top of my head there are certain ROMs that will not work properly with 3.0.0.5. You may need to downgrade it to 2.5.1.3.
Better clarify this first before going ahead.

so the question, with the newly build cm7 that just release few days ago, is it better then the cm6 rc2? I read on the forum that cm6 was better but that was before the new cm7 rc1 release. any input?
I am about to flash cm6 to test, as far as cm7 I have issue with navigon not working, some app crashing, I have yet to test extensively.
I would love to hear some feedback on this as well.
RA
It's going to be a little different for everyone as far as connectivity, GPS, etc. There's a FAQ with suggested fixes for some of these issues. Obviously there are features in CM6 that aren't in CM7 and vice versa, so it sorta comes down to personal preference. Quite frankly, both are great.
That is interesting how the phone are not consistent I like cm7 more then cm6 but cm7 is giving me some issue I have to reboot many time
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The gps issues in cm7 can be fixed by flashing the newest nightly.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=glacier
They're both great roms, cm7 is just the newest stuff.
Clockwork recovery 3.0.0.6 is fully compatible with both froyo and gingerbread roms and nandroids.
On any flash, wipe data/factory reset, flash rom, flash gapps, then let it sit on first boot and give it some extra time to finish loading before setting up. Reboot again after you've signed into google and done the basic set up.
I think I'm gonna flash cm6 rc2 first as well before I go to cm7 rc1. I'm aware that they're both different him their own way, so I think it'll be best if I gave both a try.
Only thing I need now is to get back the 2.2.1 update from tmobile cuz I had to flash pd15img after my first root went haywire

There's actually a new pd15img.zip that includes the 2.2.1 update. Link in my sig.
both are great. I use both, right now on cm7. it maybe buggy depending on what you do. for the apps i use, it's ok but cm6rc2 is pretty much solid all around. upgrade cwm recovery 3006, very easy to switch.

No. DO NOT UNZIP. Rename the file to pd15img.zip and place on root of your sdcard. Then boot up as you described, DO NOT SELECT FASTBOOT.
When you boot up into hboot, the phone will automatically detect the file and ask you if you'd like to begin the update.
Make sure that your windows pc displays file extensions and that you are naming the file pd15img.zip and not pd15img.zip.zip (with the second .zip being invisible)

hello everyone,
few days ago i pruchased a new kingston 16g card, and follow the resource bible tried to restore my cell back to stock. i format the sdcard, insert to the slot, and then follow the steps "stock nandroid retore" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845756
everything worked fine, i am sure it was completed, but at the very last step to reboot my phone, it stuck at "mytouch 4g" boot screen, cant reboot into the system, bricked i think? so i tried another thread by using PD15IMG, finally i can back to normal and a clean stock status.
(my phone is s-off, permrooted, oc1.5g)now my question is, why can't i success the nandroid restore? did i do anything wrong or do i need some more roms/files/images on my new sdcard? after this i even tried to backup my own nandroid backups and then run restore via rom manager, but i still got the same results, can't completed nandroid restore, always stuck at mytouch 4g boot screen
sorry for my really bad English, hope u guys can understand me... i just need an answer/method/guide that i can try some more new roms/oc kernels in the future without worry bricking my phone. dont really wnat to go over and over again the PD15IMG, i got scared though...
Thank you for ur help!
You probably flashed recovery version 3.0.0.5 in which you cannot restore your stock ROM with. If you don't have another ROM, you should install a gingerbread ROM such as CM7 and then flash the 3.0.0.6 recovery available in the development thread. Don't worry, your phone is not bricked. If you can turn it on and get into recovery or hboot, it can always be fixed.
I think your problem is that you had the wrong recovery. Flash Drew's 3.0.0.6 zip file to get that recovery and then pick 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries in Rom Manager. Also do your nandroids and restore in Recovery. I never go thru rom manager, it just works better that way for me.
really thank you both for the quick response
i just followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681 ,looks like i completed all the steps, but when i reboot and open rom manger, it still shows current/latest recovery:clockworkmod 3.0.0.5, so idk whether i did it right or not?
anyways, later on i might try either my won nandroid backup/recovery or the stockclean recovery again, then we will know the results...
i really appreciate for ur help!
Yes, when you open up all recoveries in Rom Manager it will still show as 3.0.0.5. If you followed the steps correctly when you flash that one and open up recovery, it will actually be 3.0.0.6 which will show at the top. This version allows you to switch between froyo (2.x) and gingerbread (3.x) based ROMs.

In clckworkmod it will always show 3.0.0.5. Flash the 3.0.0.5 in more recoveries. Then when you go in recovery it will read 3.0.0.6 sounds confusing but its not once you got it. Happy flashing!
