ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0

I haven't seen anything about the updated ClockworkMod Recovery here on XDA, and I'm not sure if many others know about it. =P
Update: ClockworkMod Recovery for the Droid X has been updated to 5.0.2.0. A new blue recovery!
WARNING: This can be used on both 2nd init and blur roms; however, on blur roms you must first use Droid 2 Bootstrapper to bootstrap.
EDIT: Make sure that you're ROM Manager is up-to-date. A new version was just released that fixes bugs with flashing the new recovery.
Open ROM Manager and select 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'.
When it asks you to confirm your device select 'Droid X (2nd init)' or 'Droid X', respective to your current rom.
It should then download and install ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0.
Reboot hy holding the power button and selecting Reboot > recovery, or rebooting to recovery from ROM Manager. Enjoy your new blue recovery ^_^
EDIT: In MIUI on the Defy base you must use `CWM Recovery' from the reboot menu to access ClockworkMod Recovery.

Strange...I did those steps and I'm still getting v2.5.0.8

Try seeing if an update is available for ROM Manager. If it is, install the update and try again.

Found the update.zip files however how do I flash it with ROM Manager? I've used it maybe a handful of times and that was only when I first started playing with ROMs late last year. I haven't used it since then...always done everything with CWM.

I'm assuming you mean an update.zip file? I see one with today's date in the root directory of my SD card.

No, I mean check the Marketplace to see if an update for ROM Manager is available. It was updated this morning to further support CM7 on the Droid X.

Oh weird...it didn't show up in my Market list as needing an upgrade but was available. No luck though Gonna try removing ROM Manager entirely with TB, rebooting & reinstalling ROM Manager to see if that fixes it.

Good luck. Be sure to make a nandroid backup just in case =P
I'll keep searching and see if I can find a remedy for your issue.

Thank you Captain Obvious j/k
I get kind of tired of hearing my wife say "what are you doing to your phone now?" if I reinstall a ROM too much in one week LOL

Yea still no luck
Did the following (based on a suggestion in the Rootzwiki forum):
- Fully removed RM & the Premium license files
- rebooted
- reinstalled RM & Premium license
- Cleared Download cache in RM
- re-installed CWM 2.5.0.8 (chose Droid X)
- Cleared Download Cache
- updated CWM to 4.0.0.5 (choosing DX 2nd-init)
- reboot
- no luck
Gonna try removing RM again & going straight to CWM 4.0.0.5 to see if that works.

What good does having the newer recovery do? Just curious.

I tried flashing it as well and it says in ROM manager that I'm on 4.0.0.5 but in recovery it says 2.5.0.8 so weird. Have you figured out what causes this?

Make sure that your ROM Manager is up-to-date and try again. The latest version has a bug fix that wasn't in the version updated this morning. (I believe)

I got mine working now An update came out (v4.3.2.3) which mentioned a fix for this exact problem & it updated properly for me too. I did notice that cache partition wiping is not as fast as v2.5.0.8 but who cares...IT'S ORANGE!

I know right, that is some sexy orange. One thing though is I've heard that you can only use backups made with 4.0.0.5, haven't actually run into myself since I cull my backups every once and a while to free up SD card space, and that some update zips won't work anymore because the new clockwork requires another file inside of it, my memory is failing me on what that file exactly is.

How is the 2nd inti different from Koushs recovery? I heard it had something specifically to do with CM7. But why cant they use the normal CWM. Wasn't obsidian able to use the regular CWM it was almost pure AOSP besides the kernel. So why the change? Just curious why it is needed.

Thank you very much I am now indulged in an interesting read.
EDIT: Ok so I read the post and followed it somewhat not knowing all the technicalities but got the jist of it. We still cant unlock the boot loader or kernel. Knowing this, what features are not going to be implemented in CM4DX?

As far as I know, right now all of CM7 features are implemented, except for the known bugs like camera/camcorder not working.

[Q] I still have S-Off

After all the moaning and groaning about loosing root after the OTA I bothered to lauch into boot loader today and check my "S" status, and it is OFF. does this mean that i can flash a custom recovery? If so, where can I find a flashable version of Clockwork or amon?
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Put this file on the root of your sdcard and boot into the bootloader.

thanks I'll try that out when I get home.

If you used unrevoked forever to achieve root, you will not lose s-off from an ota. After receiving an ota you can simply flash a PC36IMG of a custom recovery and then flash the latest superuser.zip from your recovery.

Thanks guys, i got it done but had troubles with superuser not flashing. Had to go to androidsu.com and get the ginger compatible version. Didnt even know there was such a thing. Only issue now is that it kicks an error in rom manager when trying to fix permissions. Any ideas?

I think you need to flash a rom now. I don't think you can add superuser to the recent OTA. Once you flash a rom, you will be rooted, just not on stock (unless you flash the stock GB).

Remove rom manager and reinstall it. when you try to fix permissions this time you'll see the SU prompt to accept.

You need to flash a rooted rom now... Soff does not provide you with SU permissions inside stock rom.

Thats what Im doing next, uninstalling it and reinstalling. It does currently get su permission, but something just may not be right.
You can have su on the OTA, you just have to go to androidsu.com and select the version for gingerbread. Worked for me....

Try downloading titanium backup from the market. when it first loads click on problems at the bottom. this will install the newest version of busybox which may help the rom manager issue.

Sorry, edit...

Could it be from trying to run fix permissions in Rom Manager but having Amon Ra loaded? Or maybe still the wrong version of SU? I believe there's an app in the market by the same guy to fix Superuser version.

Problem with CWM

Hello there.
I rooted my huawei X5 today and I tried to install CWM. The thing is, I couldn't find the .cust_backup/image and as such, I can't mount it. The only path I can find is .cust_backup, but can't mount it as RW.
Also, I tried to unroot my phone with SuperOneClick, but the program looks like freezing at some point during it.
I appreciate all the help you can give me.

I ran Root Checker Basic and it says my phone is not rooted, even though I followed the procedure in here...

I have solved this problem. I have another question:
I'm changing to Aurora ICS by dzo. If I want to go back to Gingerbread with the backup I made, how should I proceed?
Thanks a lot.

Just use CWM to recover the backup you made, you dont have to make any wipes i think.

I installed Aurora (latest version) but... it just doesn't go past the android screen. Like if it freezes there.
Any ideas what may have gone wrong?

Did you install the update or the full version? The full version is called beta 2. If you just installed the update try installing the full version and then the update.

Silly me, I just installed the update... Thanks for the heads up. It's working now!
By the way, is there anyway to recover all my apps and apps definitions? I lost them while installing Aurora. I do have a backup though, but I don't really know if that's any help.

You can recover with the backup and then use titanium backup to backup your apps and then recover them in Aurora.

Can't get passed Android bootup screen after ICS update

Hello guys.
I must have done something really wrong during my U8800 update to ICS. I just can't boot my phone anymore. All i can see is an endless Android ICS style splash screen when i turn it on.
These are the steps i followed in order to make the update:
1) Upgraded to HUAWEI U8800 Android 2.3 for beta original rom
2) Rooted the phone using superoneclick
3) Installed CWM Recovery v5.5.0.4
4) Using CWM, installed the ics-aurora zip form the SD card.
After that, i my phone just can't work anymore. Is there anything i can do to bring it back to life?
Thank you

Did you wipe anything? If not try to wipe user data/ factory reset, wipe cache partition and davlik cache install zip and then wipe them again.

I managed to reinstall U8800 2.3 Beta 1 Official now, but the WIFI of this version doesn't work, so that's why i was trying to get an update to the ICS.
I tried to wipe everying from CWM Recovery more than once, and then reinstalling the zip image, but i had no luck.
Any idea about what i might have done wrong in the first time?
Thank you

Are you sure your installing the full ROM and not just an update? You have to install the full ROM first and then the update. 3.1 is the newest version now.

Ask for help - I gave up that I really can't figure out how to update my ROM......

Dear bros, I am really frustrated since it's been months since I had this robot down error when I tried to upgrade my rom via OTA.
I am stil using the original 4.1.2 and every time I got OTA for 4.2.2, I had this error. I read many posts and I understand there's different ways to fix the problem but I didn't manage to success. Could someone read the attached error information and kindly let me know what should I do?
Really appreciate for the help in advance.

Update your CWM.

Unfortunately I don't think updating CWM will help, I suggest you try to install TWRP, flash the ROM, then re-install CWM if CWM is your favorite (or you have CWM backups) but yeah, TWRP is your best bet right now.

If you want to update to 4.3 get the images for your device from here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, uncompress and run the flash all scrip inside. Be sure to backup your d data as you will lose all of it (including internal sd).
This will update your hboot and radio to the latest version.
