[Q] HELP Link for 1.7 For recovery, restore as backup....

Hi there,
Apologies, daft question perhaps...
Can I just 'install from zip' in clockwork to update to 1.7 like I did 1.6, thus retaining all my settings ..? Confused me slightly saying its a restore on the main post..

Dare say its prudent to make a backup before doing this!

yes first make a backup and yes you can just 'install from zip' the 1.7 version for recovery. if the file name says update.xxxxx bla bla bla then is like an update.zip wich you install from 'install from zip'
Link for 1.8
For recovery (install zip from SD)
I've just tried to update to v1.8 using that method because im not at home so cant do it through fasboot but it says-
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
Installation aborted?
I've done a reboot but phone is now laggy, also I can't now restore my backup as that now says MD5 mismatch...any ideas anyone?

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.

FYI, I don't think there's a situation in which you "need" 2.5.1.2. 3.0.2.4 can flash anything, including restoring Nandroid backups made with earlier versions of CWM.

I just made another thread about this, probably shouldn't have. I'm trying to install one of pack's battery mods, and it keeps aborting. Thought I needed 2.5.1.2, that's what they said on the mod thread, but after reading your comment flashed 3.0.2.4, then tried installing the battery mod through that, and it still aborted. Any ideas?
EDIT: should point out that while trying to flash any 2.x version of Clockwork through "Other ClockworkMod Recoveries" it says "error flashing recovery" every time...can't do it with 3.x and can't flash 2.x. Argh.

That's because theres no real 2.5.1.3
Get a copy of 2.5.1.2 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978038
What I did was go through the clockworkmod folder on my SD card and found the folder with the recoveries in it. I then got the copy of the 2.5.1.2 img and placed it in that folder and renamed it to 2.5.1.3 so that it can be flashed through Rom manager.

Thanks a lot for the tip! I've downloaded the .zip, extracted the .img file and placed it into the recovery folder in the clockwork folder on my sd card. I then renamed it to 2.5.1.4 as the only 2.x options I have under the "Other Clockworkmod Recoveries" menu are 2.5.1.4 and 2.5.1.3. But when I try to flash 2.5.1.4 it still says "error occurred while flashing your recovery" - this one has me stumped!

Can't install any ROM after flashing SBF

I had some problems during ROM install and accidentally got my entire / deleted, so I had to flash an SBF.
I flashed some arbitrary 2.2 SBF, one I used before. Installed recovery during SndInit, and when I tried to install a ROM, it said there was an error.
I then, successfully, flashed TWRP using the same recovery, only to get the same "error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 0" error when trying to install CM10.2.
What can I do?
Install first a CM10 Rom to update your recovery then install CM10.2.

First check your downloaded ZIP file if it is Ok. If you have MicroSD adapter for your computer, check ZIP on MicroSD just in your computer. In Windows/Linux GUI, this can be done by right click on the ZIP file and picking up "Verify" or something like it. This right-click-menu (ie. cascade menu) for ZIP file should be there if you have 7Zip (free) or WinRAR, WinZIP (both commercial) installed on your PC.
But it seems like you have broken partition layout, so reflash SBF. See Defy Wiki for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy
