Recovery doesn't want to change, im stuck at 2.5.1.2

I want to flash CM7, but everytime I try flashing Clockwork recovery 3, it ends up staying at 2.5.1.2. What am I doing wrong? I tried flashing it from ROM Manager and that didn't help, and I don't know if I can flash it with the fastboot method since I'm using CWR already. What can I do?
Additional notes: Right now, I'm running CM6 RC2. And my phone looks sexy.

Like you I also came across that issue but trying to install kernel in Ice Glacier. Now what you want to do is install it manually via console. Check my other thread all you need is the flash image and clockworkmod recovery. I myself flashed ClockworkMod 3.0.0.0 as other howoto failed and True's didn't stick.

true's method seems to be broken for now, but he has posted that he will be looking into the issue as soon as he get home.

Go here,

And hit on the link to download the cwm 3.xxxx
Once the file is downloaded use root explorer, navigate to /sdcard/downloads/ and find the recovery. Make sure that it shows as .img and not as .zip. if it is a zip then unzip to get the .img file
Select the recovery and change the name to some easier name like f.e cwmrec3 (nnow u will have a cwmrec3.img file).
Move it to /sdcard (root) for ease of method
Open terminal emulator and do
Su (enter) (# will change for $)
flash_image recovery /sdcard cwmrec3.img
Wait for it to go to the next line.
Reboot to recovery and ur text will now be orange. You now haz recovery 3.xxxx
Also, note that if u enter rom manager it will still say that you have cwm 2.xxx that does not matter though as long as ur recovery txt is orange and not green

the fastboot method will work if you have CWM 3.5.1.3 already. I did that this morning, and it worked like a charm.

so I was able to do the easy cw method installing the zip from recovery then choosing 2.5.1.4, but after a few runs with the latest builds of CM7 i was having major issues with my mobile data connection jumping from H to 3G, each time lagging out my connection and making streaming videos, etc impossible to play. So I reflashed to stock, and my H returned to normal. So i thought I'd give it another shot, rooted, downloaded ROM Manager, flashed to 2.5.1.2 smooth, then tried the above method. When I tried to load the 2.5.1.4 in ROM manager, it said "An error occurred while flashing your recovery." So I tried the terminal, and no matter how I rename the file, and I know I followed the instructions flawlessly, it says flash_image: not found. So while ROM Manager seems completely capable of flashing to the 2.5.1.2 version, nothing seems to work to get me past it. What could I be missing?

Thats because you flashed back to stock and stock roms do not have "flash_image" on /system/bin
Download this
http://db.tt/Rv63e76
Use root explorer and paste it to /system/bin
Try terminal again

[Q] How To Go Back To Original/To Install Another Rom

Hello,ive installed gingerbread yoshi rom,but i want to delete it and install the cyanogen mod rom(stable),for my mytouch 3g original.Now how can i do this?ive looked anfd foudn nothing,and also,the downloaded file(rom)from cyanodegn mod rom its 55 mb's,so i just put the whole zip folder into the root of the memory card and go into recovery mode and install from zip?anyways i hope somebody can help,thanks

The only thing you need to do is to put the cyanogen.zip into the root of your sdcard and then boot into recovery and select "flash .zip".
Next time you flash a custom rom I recommend you to make a nandroid backup (this will backup all data including rom). If you don't like the rom you just flashed you are able to recover nandroid backup.

i did that and it gets stuck on the green mytouch screen.i wiped all data,cache partition,then intalled rom from zip and nothing

First, I would superwipe. You can download it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
Boot into recovery, and assuming you are on amon_ra or clockworkmod recovery, choose intall from zip and run superwipe. Power down the phone and boot back into recovery. Now install Cyanogen mod and you should be fine.
Make sure you have the right cm file for your phone. I don't recall seeing what version of the mytouch you have. For example, if you have the original mytouch with the 32B, and If you updated the radio and spl when you installed Yoshi ginger, make sure you get the cyanogem mod 6.1 for the 2708 radio.
Good luck.

try yoshi froyo
Sorry, forgot to add this....
you may also want to try Yoshi Froyo rather than cyanogenmod.

[Q] Clockwork 3.0.0.6

I am trying to get the Clockwork 3.0.0.6 update so that i can flash RoyalGinger, but it doesn't seem to be working. I follow each and every step on true_blue's guide, but it stays on Clockwork 3.0.0.5. Can anyone walk me through how to get clockwork 3.0.0.6 please?

it will say that it is 3.0.0.5 in rom manager, but as soon as you boot into recovery it should say 3.0.0.6

Are you looking at the list of recoveries at the bottom of Rom Manager? It will still say 3.0.0.5. Check that option then reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Does it say v3.0.0.5 or .6?

Not trying to hijack, but with 3.0.0.6 you can flash back and forth between froyo and ginger right from the recovery screen correct?

With the new one made by opinion, yes u can. But i cant get it to work =(

ye sir, that is correct

Alright, I'm a noob, but I will try to help. After you installed the zip you opened rom manager, scrolled all the way down to All Clockwork Mod recoveries, and reflashed 3.0.0.5 correct? I actually just flashed this about an hour ago and it worked fine.

or you can try one of the methods in this thread

and you downloaded the new flashable file from the thread right? I had one in my downloads on my pc that I tried to flash today but it didn't work because CWM was updated, so I had to download true's latest. it was just updated two days ago.

Stuck at CWM 3.0.0.5

I seem to be stuck. I have tried checking "Erase Recover" in settings, and have tried updating ROM Manager, then "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" It says it was successful, but it doesn't update CWM. I have tried rebooting, I have tried flashing back to stock CM7 RC4.
I want to try RoyalGinger 2.5, but it needs at least CWM 3.0.0.6.

What did you do to lead to this point. we need some more information.

Followed the guide to install CM 7 RC4 - which installed 3.0.0.5 at the time.
Flashed to a nightly build - the colorized version
Flashed back to CM 7 RC4
Flashed kernel to Faux123's kernel
Flashed back to stock CM7 RC4
Flashed kernel to Faux123's enthusiast kernel - tried updating CWM
Flashed back to stock CM7 RC4 - still trying to update CWM
(^^^ is that what you mean?)

Try redownloading Cyanogen's CM7RC with the gapps and store it on the phone's SD card. and make sure to verify the MD5SUM of the download.
Boot into recovery.
Wipe the handset
flash the ROM then Flash the Gapps
Then reboot
do not attempt to flash the kernel.
see if it boots.

Ok, I will try that. Just to clarify, my phone boots fine and works fine, just wont update CWM.

are you wanting to update to 3.0.0.6? is that what you are trying to do?
download the attached file and store just the .img on the SDcard of your phone
From your command terminal type
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
=============
or if you have the Engineering HBoot
1) Download the attached file and store just the .img to your folder from which you preform all of your ADB commands
2) plug the phone into the computer
3) boot the phone into HBoot
4) from the ADB commands change the drive to the folder where you stored the recovery image.
5) type these commands
Code:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
the screen should say something to the degree of
Code:
sending 'recovery' (3426 KB)... OKAY [ 1.172s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 0.797s]
finished. total time: 1.969s

Dont mean to hijack your thread but I dont see a point in making a new thread from the same issue. I accidentally tried to flash RoyalGlacier with recovery 3.0.0.5 and now I can only get into CwR and hboot. Is there a ROM compatible with 3.0.0.5 that I can flash so I can get the phone booted and install the correct recovery?

since 3.0.0.6 is not official it will only show 3.0.0.5 when in the app. but if you boot into recovery it should show 3.0.0.6.

i9020a stuck on 2.3.1 Please HELP

Hey guys I was rooting my new nexus s i9020a and flashed a bad rootboot.img
I then restored to the WRONG recovery image (2.3.1). Now the phone is stuck in airplane mode, will not get a signal, and the market will not do anything.
I downloaded the stock i9020a 2.3.4 from this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
When I try to restore in ClockworkMod it says md5 mismatch. I've been fighting with these various issues for a few hours now and would like some advice. I don't have a spare phone at the moment so I'm really at a loss untill I correct this. Thanks in advance!

I tried installing the image from clockwork mod by manually selecting install zip from sd. That ran and I am now in a bricked state. Put clockwork mod recovery back on and haven't got any Further.

What do you mean you're in a bricked state? If you can get into clockwork, or even the bootloader, it's not really bricked.
Are you able to get into clockwork recovery? If so, I'd try transferring over a new ROM, maybe even a custom one like CM7, Oxygen, or one of the others from the Dev section... just to see if it'll flash and boot.

I am in the same boat as the op on this thread. I have tried everything and googled for every answer with no luck. right now I am on grh78 on an i9020a and am stuck in airplane mode.

I'd suggest re-flashing CWM recovery from this thread.
After that you should re-download and flash the full OTA package that says "Android 2.3.4/GTJ61/UCKE1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader" from the thread that OP mentioned.
