Why is cwr 3.0.0.6 not persistent?

I have installed it while in '0.5, and when I go back in, its always gone. Has rom manager been updated for this? Because I think that's they problem. I choose CWR from within rom manager (which is .0.5), and when it reboots I am back in 0.5.
Just wondering if there was an update or a fix/patch I missed.

I don't know what you are doing, so I will just tell you what I have done.
1) Download 3.0.0.6 and save to sd.
2) Flash 3.0.0.5 from within rom manager.
3) reboot into recovery 3.0.0.5.
4) Flash 3.0.0.6 file
5) reboot until rom loaded
6) Once rom loaded reboot again into recovery and should be 3.0.0.6 (do not reflash 3.0.0.5 again, otherwise will see 3.0.0.5 in recovery again)
If that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell you except to use adb.

Sometimes when you flash a new ROM, CWM 3.0.0.6 doesn't stick. When that happens, just downlaod and install a clean CWM recovery file again from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944681) and follow instructions and 3.0.0.6 should stick.

I'm not sure what the other posters mean when they say CWM doesn't "stick". The problem is that 3.0.0.6 is not an officially supported version, and therefore even when it's installed, ROM Manager will continue to say you have 2.5 or 3.0.0.5 installed. Once you've successfully installed 3.0.0.6, don't worry what ROM Manager says about versions. Just boot into recovery and you'll see that 3.0.0.6 is there.

I flashed once and its been there ever since. I dont see y its resetting

It's not resetting. He just thinks it is since 3.0.0.5 is the latest version supported by ROM Manager.

I actually realize that Rom manager merely says 3.0.0.5 and 0.6 is actually "installed". The problem is it doesn't "stick". Even if I boot from recovery not using rom manager, 0.5 is always still there. I am going to download it again and see what happens.
Thx!

Just an FYI for any who had any problems.
Originally, the file I had a link to (and downloaded) was something like clockworkmod-recovery-3.0.0.6.zip (or similar). This apparently is a one shot flash to put you into the 3.0.0.6 recovery while you are already in the 3.0.0.5 recovery. The file that I just downloaded (given above in this thread) actually creates a permanent 0.6 recovery. Just install the file from 0.5 recovery, reboot, and then flash clockworkmod recovery from within rom manager.
At that point, whenever you boot into recovery from RM, it be 3.0.0.6. NOTE: RM will continue to say that you have 3.0.0.5 installed, so ignore that.... 0.6 will be installed.

based on your original post (unless I'm miss reading it) you are flashing the zip file from within recovery, when phone reboots you are going into ROM Manager and flashing CWR which shows as 3.0.0.5 if you use the method in the link "NeverAlwaysEver" posted 3.0.0.6 over writes 3.0.0.5 so it should stick... however I did notice after flashing the newest version of 3.0.0.6 (the one that keeps phone from booting into recovery if plugged in while off) if I selected 3.0.0.5 in ROM Manager it would flash back to 3.0.0.5, I don't know why but that is the only one I have had the same problem you laid out.

One thing I realize is all the posts about these topics can be confusing because it is not always clear whether a poster is starting that they "flashed" cwr, ot merely booted into cwr.
But my problem was solved when I flashed/installed the file from the link by NeverAlwaysEver above when I was in CWR (3.0.0.5). This file is a substitute file which RM uses to flash to a new recovery. So when you flash again from within RM, you are "installing" the 3.0.0.6 recovery. I didn't write RM, so I do not know why it doesn't recognize that 3.0.0.6 is installed and report this as the actual version after you do this, but its a minor issue.
I dint know what zip version you are referring to other than the one in this thread and the "one-shot" one I had (which I got from SoltyPK in some post), but the later one could have utility if you need more than 2 recovery versions (e.g., if for some reason you wanted to have the ability to use the stock recovery (2.5.1.7), cwr 3.0.0.5, and cwr 3.0.0.6., the last one you actually install while in 3.0.0.5, and it thereupon immediately puts you into 3.0.0.6.

If you mean CWM 3.0.0.6 off mode charging from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1014554), it says that one is modified from the original CWM 3.0.0.6 and not the newest CWM 3.0.0.6 that TrueBlue_Drew posted (link I gave in previous post). I haven't tried that off mode charging CWM modified from original CWM .6 but maybe that is the reason why it goes back to .5.

Getting clockwork to work through Rom manager on Vibrant

I have been trying to get clockwork to work forever on my Vibrant and I finally got it to work.I rooted my phone using super one click method then I installed 3e_recovery installer onto phone.I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork for Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S.Every time I would load onto stock recovery and reinstalled packages 2 times and it would never load into Clockwork recovery (I tried so many different things to get it to work for about a week).So today I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork again but this time I selected Galaxy S Captivate instead of the Galaxy S vibrant(which is the phone I own).I rebooted into recovery and reinstalled packages twice and it finally booted into Clockwork recovery.I just figured there must be other frustrated people having the same issue so I thought this might be helpful to somebody.

Is this reliable or was it just a fluke? I'm trying to get CWM on my new vibrant which has kb5 stock rom.
I used superoneclick to root and install busybox, but I have no clockworkmod.
In ROM manager, I select flash clockworkmod recovery. Select Vibrant. It says something like recovery downloaded. Then does nothing.
So I then select reboot into recovery which takes me to stock recovery. I select reinstall packages a few times and nothing happens except the signature failure each time, so then I end up rebooting from there.
Am I going wrong somewhere? I have searched around a bit but haven't got the solution yet. Thanks.

Wait, are you saying you selected the captivate option in rom manager on your VIBRANT?

The problem is, the 3e recovery in our 2.2 roms used different signing keys that haven't been cracked like 2e has. So, you need to replace the recovery file with a fixed one, or odin a voodoo kernel and be done.
Bit this is not the thread on where to discus that.

getting clockwork
did you uninstall the old clockwork frist or did it copy over it

What I did is I odin back to stock. Find an app called z4root once you have root download rom manager then install rom from there this is an easier method

CWM not flashing from ROM Manager

I'm trying to get Clockwork Mod installed on my wife's Nexus S via ROM Manager but whenever I reboot into recovery it's just the default recovery.
I had this issue with my Nexus S too and I never resolved it. I was only able to flash via fastboot. This isn't an option on my wife's phone as it's not unlocked and I don't want to wipe everything.

How can you flash cwm without unlocking? I don't think that's possible(correct me if I'm wrong).

You mean rooting? You're supposed to be able to flash it from within Android if your phone is rooted. OEM unlocking the phone lets you flash things from the bootloader. However, despite that I haven't been able to do it.
I finally gave up. Since the phone is rooted I just backed everything up with Titanium Backup and then OEM unlocked the phone and I'm not restoring from scratch. Not sure I'll ever have an answer to this issue.

Note: If the phone is rooted and you have flash_image, you can use that to flash custom recovery(without bootloader unlocking) 'manually'.

I have had the same problem with ROM manager ever since I bought it. What I do is flash the recovery a few times. I'll hit flash recovery, and when it finishes I'll do it like 3 or 4 more times and eventually the recovery will stick.

To fix this, flash CWM recovery using ROM Manager, and then install root explorer. Using root explorer, rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to something else (e.g. /system/etc/install-recovery.sh-RENAMED) and that should make your CWM recovery stick. Otherwise it gets overwritten on each boot by the stock Android recovery.
I actually just learned this over the weekend when I got my new NS and I had to do the same thing. I've previously been a happy SGS i9000 owner for the past 2 years, so the NS is pretty new to me still.

i had the same bug i flash a more oldest vercion of rom manager and cmw and that work for me but im crazy ,there are better methods I just tell my experience

Just flashing using CWM..dont flash using ROM manager...many users have problems flashing from ROM manager..

Unlocked Flashed Recovery Have An Issue Now

So my friend and I last night decided to unlock, root and flash recovery using the nexus 7 toolkit. Everything seemed to work ok, but now we have a major issue. It seems last night he flashed phandroid rom or whatever its called, but didnt wipe, so now he lost clockwork somehow, and the rom just boots and doesnt do anything.
We tried using the toolkit again to push recovery, it says it sent it, but we can only access fast boot. If you hit volume keys to get into recovery mode, and select it, it wont go into clockwork, just tries to boot the rom
Any suggestions?

Do you have the N7 connected to your computer via USB? For some reason it won't boot into recovery if it's not connected via USB, I had this problem when flashing the Paranoid Android rom.

Cmon chugger you have the gnex for god sakes why the hell did you use a toolkit.
Secondly If you can fast boot flash a recovery. And boot into recovery and reflash the ROM.

CWM and TWRP

Hi,
It seems that I have CWM and recovery installed on my Nexus 4. I was on TWRP previously and switched to CWM, now it seems that it is stucked.
I erased recovery in command prompt and flash it with CWM after installing stock ROM but ROM Manager still detected TWRP. How do I get rid of TWRP?

try flashing stock recovery via adb

If you reboot into recovery does CWM come up or TWRP? If it's CWM then ignore ROM Manager and continue as normal

CWM comes up as the recovery because it's the latest one I flash. I know it might now matter but this really bugs me.

Dunno why you're using ROM Manager anyway, pointless piece of software IMO. Just flash everything manually

Mine was gone when i unrooting the device

That's normal. I have it too. Just choose cwm on recovery already installed and leave it like that.
