THIS THREAD IS ONLY FOR MYTOUCH 4G AND OBSOLETE ANYWAY. The official version of 3.0.2.4 can be flashed via rom manager with no mods except basic permroot.
The purpose of this post is to increase the visibility of these instructions so the CM7 threads don't get cluttered with this question being asked again and again. Mods feel free to move wherever you like. This is NOT my method, I'm merely regurgitating information that I learned by READING and SEARCHING! *Ahem!*
As I understand it CWR (ClockWork Recovery) 2 is needed for CM6 and CWR3 is needed for CM7. I don't believe there is much (if any) reverse compatibility at this time. I'm sure that will change in the future.
METHOD 1 - TrueBlue_Drew's ROM Manager swap - EASIEST
REQUIRED - S-OFF, ROOT ACCESS and ClockworkMod Recovery already installed.
If you don't yet have CW Recovery, install Rom Manager from the Market and use it to flash Clockwork Recovery.

Using this Mod/Method you can switch between the latest version of CwM 3.0.0.5 (used for Gingerbread), 2.5.1.2 (used for most froyo), or the stock recovery (used for charging when off).
NOTE:
THIS MOD/ZIP IS REPLACING THE ONE I HAD POSTED IN A DIFFERENT THREAD THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED BY THE OP. IF YOU USED MY METHOD PREVIOUSLY, I SUGGEST YOU DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THIS ONE. ROM MANAGER NOW USES A DIFFERENT LOCATION TO STORE THE RECOVERY IMAGES.
Instructions for use
Make sure you have Rom Manager installed. This is included in most roms but can be found in the market also. The free version works fine..
Download the zip at the bottom of this post and place it on your sd card.
Open Rom Manager and choose "Reboot into Recovery"
From recovery flash/install the zip file you placed on your sdcard.(If you downloaded straight to your phone you will need to go into the download folder first and then) choose "Recovery_img_1-22-10_RM.zip" and install it. No need to wipe anything.
Now reboot your phone and then go back into Rom Manager and go to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" This is where you can choose the recovery you want ro flash.
If you want the CwM v3.0.0.5 (1-22-11) recovery choose the option for 2.5.1.4
If you want the stock recovery choose the option for 2.5.1.1
(Thanks to Amac1222 for the idea of adding the stock recovery to this)
If you want the recovery for Froyo choose the option for 2.5.1.2
Reboot into recovery. (to enter stock recovery hold volume up and power button at same from the red triangle screen)
You should now see the recovery you picked.
CWM 3.0.0.5 has ORANGE text
CWM 2.5.1.2 has GREEN text
Stock Recovery has BLUE text
You can now do a wipe and install your rom. Keep in mind that you can switch from recovery to recovery depending on what rom you are flashing and after you flash a rom you can switch recoveries in order to do things like charge with your phone off. Just dont forget to flash back to the correct recovery when you try to flash a rom again.
NOTE: ALL NANDROID BACKUPS/RESTORES SHOULD BE DONE FROM RECOVERY. ROM MANAGER IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH CwM 3.0.0.5
WHEN IT COMES TO NANDROIDS AND FLASHING ROMS.
Please hit the "THANKS" button if you are using this and want to show your gratitude.

METHOD 2 - Fastboot - Cleanest but slightly more advanced
REQUIRED - S-OFF, Android SDK (ADB) installed and some basic knowledge of how to navigate a windows command prompt. If you don't have the SDK set up yet a simple search will get you a few guides on how to do it. Not very difficult at all, don't worry.
1. Download CWR3. - http://phones.crackflashers.com/glacier/recoveries/glacier-cwm3src-2.img
2. Save to your Android SDK tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) or platform-tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools) folder and rename to recovery.img
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Hold the volume down button + power until you boot to a white screen.
5. Use the volume rocker to select FASTBOOT then press the power button to select it.
6. Connect your phone.
7. Open up a windows command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools or platform tools folder. tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\tools) or platform-tools (c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools)
8. Type FASTBOOT DEVICES to make sure your computer "sees" your phone and is ready to flash the recovery. You should get a serial number and then the word fastboot as the output.
9. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. Give it a minute to do it's thing. You should get a message that says writing recovery and success.
10. Unplug your phone and use the volume rocker to select BOOTLOADER and then again to select RECOVERY and you should be booted into the orange menu of Clockwork Recovery 3.
11. Enjoy flashing CM7!
METHOD 3 - Terminal Emulator - less set-up required than method 2
REQUIRED - ROOT ACCESS, flash_image binary. Some ROMs (CM6) have the flash_image binary and some ROMs (Stock Sense and Iced Glacier) don't. There is a link below.
1. Download CWR3. - http://phones.crackflashers.com/glacier/recoveries/glacier-cwm3src-2.img
2. Rename to recovery.img and put on root of sdcard.
3. Download the flash_image binary to your sdcard. - http://www.filefactory.com/file/ce1cc72/n/flash_image
4. Use Root Explorer (or adb push if you prefer) to copy flash_image to system/bin. LEAVE FILE WITHOUT AN EXTENSION.
--4a. If you don't have Root Explorer and aren't familiar with adb, see THIS GUIDE to add flash_image via Terminal Emulator. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10795540#post10795540
5. Open Terminal Emulator and type flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img
6. You're done! Go flash CM7 and enjoy!
If you want to go back to Clockwork Recovery 2 and CM6 or Sense, just use Rom Manger to flash recovery and proceed as normal. If you've found this post helpful, please link it to others and repost it! We were all noobs once, especially me.
If you found this post useful, please link it around to others.
Thanks for taking the time to post these instructions. The above ways will work perfectly to install the new recovery.
If you are having a hard time with the directions above, you can try
this way of installing ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 on your device :
Found in this post
Or you can follow the instruction below.
My method has 3 very easy steps:
1. Make sure you have Rom Manager Installed (Free in Market).
2. Install this .zip file as you would a Rom.
3. Open Rom Manager and choose 2.2.1.4 from "All ClockworkMod Recoveries"
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5 will now be installed on your phone.

I thought I mentioned this in the original post, but just use Rom Manager from the Market.
1. Make sure you have Rom Manager Installed (Free in Market).
2. rename "recovery3......img" with "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img"
3.put this "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-glacier.img" on sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/
4. Open Rom Manager and choose 2.2.1.4 from "All ClockworkMod Recoveries"
ClockworkMod Recovery v3..... will now be installed on your phone.

As many as it takes until we can go one full page in the cm7 thread without someone asking this question.
I used drew's method and it has worked flawlessly for the past month. I switch from 2.x to 3.x alot, I just flash thru clockwork to whichever recovery I want. I am currently on ice glacier and wanted to install the most current nightly. I went to more clockwork recoveries na flashed 2.1.1.4 forgot the number but its for the clockwork 3.x it has worked awesome yhe past times. This morning though it says there was an error while flashing your recovery. I tried flashing the 3.0.0.5 again through recovery but when i go back to CW it gives me yhe same error. Any help fellas? I tried flashing thru terminal but it says it can't find recovery.image. would I have to flash this on CM6 to work? thanks fellas!

Try reflashing the latest clockwork through Rom manager and then flash the one for 3.0.0.5
If that doesn't work try installing the zip again from my thread. If neither of those things work, pm me.

First things first, if you flashed a previous version of Clockwork Recovery using Odin, FLASH BACK TO A STOCK KERNEL. (There's another link in the forum to do this, I can't find it at the moment)
This recovery is *very* safe to use. It does NOT flash your kernel; it is a completely uninvasive recovery method.
How it works: The recovery is packaged as an update.zip that you run from STOCK recovery. The update.zip unpacks Clockwork Recovery onto the ramdisk and restarts recovery. When you reboot, it reverts back to the original, unmodified, stock recovery. So, you will need to keep the recovery on the root of your SD card as an update.zip, and apply the zip every time you want to start Clockwork.
HOWEVER, if you use ROM Manager, all of the recovery installation and management are done for you!
Installation instructions:
Download ROM Manager from the Market.
Flash Recovery.
Choose Galaxy S i9000 as your phone.
Accept the Superuser prompt.
Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.
On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
Watch the backup go!
That's it! This is completely painless and safe! There is no need for Odin anymore to replace the recovery or flash updates!
If you appreciate my work, please buy the Premium version of ROM Manager!
If you can't seem to get ROM Manager off the market, you can get it from my homepage:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html
Just installed! Working great!
Installed with ROM manager. Works like a charm! Thanx alot Koush!
works fine

To install roms with clockwork we need roms in *.zip format? Where to get them?

hmm ... I know this might sound stupid but, acually GSG is my first android phone, though I know how to flash roms with odin and how to apply update.zip and all that but what is the difference between this and ClockworkMod Recovery ?? and does it use the same components as odin ? (I mean CODE, CSC, MODEM and Pit) ?
Stickied. Closing the other one. Not sure why you would start a new thread instead of modifying the old one though...
Thanks Koush your the man. Coming from a htc magic I hate this odin bull
Hmm... did every step and in the first reboot, after using rom manager to create a backup, it was supposed to go to the cloclworkmod recovery screen as mentioned, but instead it goes to the regular recovery screen.
Bug? I'm using the JM1 FW
EDIT: After rebooting my phone and trying to open ROM Manager again, I have some sort of "Recovery Failure" screen with 3 options:
- Recovery mode is broken.
- ROM Manager doesn't reboot.
- Other.

Do you already have an update.zip on your internal sdcard? If yes, rename it, and then should boot just fine!

I had the same issue. Must have been the update.zip, but I didnt remove it, just pressed the other option, went into manual recovery mode, rebooted went into rom manager and backed up my files. Worked a charm
Does this mean there will be no more work on a permanent recovery solution?
I have the Korean version M110S - and it does not have the standard recovery (it is crippled - no apply:update.zip). Is there and abd command to "apply update.zip" ?
May I ask if this work for me using mimocan ext4 fix on the backup/restore?
This may sound stupid, but I'm kinda new to Android modding (SGS is my first droid, moving here from WiMo on SE-X1) and.... What is Clockwork?
So if I ever needed to send this phone in for warranty purposes, I could just flash the backup of my stock ROM in and I should be good to go?
does this method works for captivate and vibrant???
edit: just install/ captivate and vibrant option available.

Another noob so please bear with me.
I tried to switch from clockwork to RA through simpleroot, after doing so it threw a lot of error messages at me and rebooted the phone, After that, in Boot menu I went to select "recovery" and it reloaded the boot menu. It simply will not go into recovery mode anymore, and all my attempt to load any of the recovery.img files to the SD, it will continue to not load in into recovery. Please help!

Yes that seems simple, but what if I want to install RA recovery instead? do I have that option and if so, where would I D/L Ra from?
rom manager will download it, my latest version shows RA 1.7.0.1 as "Flash Alternate Recovery" and install it, you can switch back and fourth, I have the premium version, not sure if the freebie does it, but support them anywoo and send some bucks!
Yes it does allow you to, the free version just doesn't allow you to access the ROM Manager, online ROM list. But it does allow you to hot swap between ROM's on the fly (essentially).

Here is the link for RA...there is a .2 version for those with bad blocks but .1 is the norm thus far. ROM manager should include the clockwork for you and once you've switched between the two it is pretty slick for on the fly mashing. Just know that CW has known issues with cleanly wiping...FYI

Ummm, no, don't do that, it is a recovery IMAGE not a ROM. Search for the thread for amon_ra's recovery, get the image file, use a terminal shell app from the market to flash the image. The instructions are in the first post of RA's thread.
I have the same problem, I used to be able to flash RA with rom manager, but stopped working for me as well. Even tried new SD card, wiping, nothing seemed to fix it. Now I jus keep the image in the root of my sd card and use the terminal commands. Almost as fast as clockwork, done it enough. Though as of late not use clockwork at all, just ra.
He's trying to go opposite from the OP?

If this is true - try uninstalling rom manager completely, if your not using it for backups and/or your nandroids aren't located in sdcard/clockworkmod - delete the folder and try to re-install from market. I don't believe nandroid and/or RA save to clockworkmod folder unless you have previously used rom manager?
And I have heard CW doesn't wipe cache or some such properly - never experienced issues to date...
This is true, but the rom manager was installed in my latest rom.. I will completely re-install the rom if needed just give me the order and directions, thank you in advance.
should I install a rom with out a rom manager, install the clockwork then reinstall my current rom????
I'm so confused as to how to use ROM Manager on the slide. And the posts in the slide forum about rom manager aren't really any help.
Can someone please make a howto for the use of rom manager for the slide?
So far, i've updated the recovery to version 2.5.x.x (or something like that). Right now, i'm trying to install ChromaticSlide and i tried to do the "install from sd" option in rom manager. When it reboots to recovery, i get the phone with the green arrow for <1sec and then i get a red ? mark and if i don't touch anything it reboots. If i do press a button, i get the error messages.
How do i go about flashing through rom manager successfully?
If you have clockwork recovery on your SD card, inside a .zip called update.zip, you go into your normal recovery, the stock android one, then you flash that recovery (update.zip). Then it should boot into clockwork.

This can be caused by two things.
A) Do you still have the update.zip from on your sd card from when you rooted?
B) Did you flash the eng build?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A) Yes.
B) Yes.
Still no Clockwork for me.
i can get into clockwork just fine manually. But how do i flash through ROM Manager like other people do in the ENG build? It won't even reboot into recovery when i select the option.
It seems not to like to work on the ENG build (and yes i'm running the ENG build). ROM Manager will download the newest recovery image, but it will only stay in the clockwork folder on the sd card. I did though seem to get it to work after flashing to a CM6 build (it put a recovery-update.zip file in a different folder inside the clockwork folder and when i said boot into recovery to flash a ROM, it has the phone with green arrows and flashed fine, it just won't do it from ENG build)
EDIT FOR CLARITY:
A) I have the update.zip i used for root in the root of the sdcard.
B) I have the ENG build flashed.
I also have free rom manager installed. I selected within rom manager to flash clockwork recovery (which it did and says the current and latest recovery is v2.5.0.1).
It also created a file in sdcard/clockworkmod/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/ called recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.1-espresso.zip.
If i go to flash a rom from within the ENG build using rom manager, i get the option to "backup current rom" and to "wipe data and cache" before flashing. And when it goes to reboot, it doesn't do anything.
However, when i went to flash from ChromaticSlide to CM6 using rom manager, it put a file called recovery-update.zip in one of the clockworkmod folders and rebooted and flashed without any input from me. So i'm confused as how to get ROM manager to work from within the ENG build. I also don't get a SU permission notice about rom manager from within the ENG build but i do get a SU permissions request from within the other ROMs by rom manager
EDIT2: Lol, i just told rom manager to flash clockwork a 2nd time and it gave me the SU permissions request and then when i told it to boot into recovery, it rebooted into recovery. Nevermind about the last stuff.
Hello everyone,
i used to have rom manager and cwm 2.5.0.7 working fine under MIUI.Then i decided to replace the cwm files with the 4ext recovery.All went ok and i was able to fakeflash with rom manager and boot into 4ext until one i day i decided to fakeflash via rom manager the newest cwm 5.0.2.0 Although it says flashing complete when i try to reboot into recovery it gets me to the old 2.5.0.7
Any ideas?
Are you s-off? If yes, flash recovery via fastboot.
No, i m not
Actually i dont want to replace my permanent recovery.Just to be able to use the fakeflash version in rom manager!
Follow these instructions:
go to settings > applications > manage applications > ROM Manager > #uninstall#
End of all your problems. ROM Manager is a third party app that just causes problems, it is a lot safer to just boot into recovery manually (power off, hold volume down & power, use volume keys to navigate RECOVERY, press power to boot into recovery)
If you want to fakeflash through recovery, all you need is the recovery.zip, and fakeflash it like you'd flash a ROM.

I agree with the other: dont use rom manager
anyway, u can't flash it beacuase the last version of rom manager do not use fakeflash anymore, it's need s-off now
so, u must s-off, then better if u flash it with fastboot, and use the recvoery manually
Thanks for the replies people
Nothing wrong with 2.5.0.7, it does the job. Remember to press the 'Thanks' button rather than just saying "thanks".
Offcourse its nothing wrong.But i used a fake flash version of 4ext recovery via rom manager thats why i started this thread.Because i m no longer able to fakeflash another recovery via rom manager.I know it can be done via permanent recovery.

as i said, latest rom manager does not support fakeflash anymore!
I had the same problem, then I go s-off and was able to flash recovery also via RomManager...
I believe ROM manager doesn't support fake flash on the desire as this was breaking many desires that had true flash versions of recovery.
It got so bad at Android forums, we had to create a thread warning people.
http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/356192-warning-do-not-use-rom-manager.html
Anyway for me 2.5.0.7 is still my favourite recovery.
Don't really understand the need for ROM manager anymore. It made lots of sense before Unrevoked came along. Now it seems to me just helping the lazy get lazier (but of course this is just my opinion)

Created a thread in Desire General section with the same topic and linked to your post respectively to the one on androidforums.
During the summer I rooted my phone and i have Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7 installed.
I am trying to upgrade to the latest version and it never seems to stick.
Using Rom manager. It says that im flashed to v5.0.2.0 yet when i boot to recovery from rom manager it loads to v2.5.0.7. Does the same thing if i choose to flash a rom though ROM MANAGER. each time v2XXX loads
So i fire up recover and try loading the zip. Bingo it works. The screen turns from green to blue and V5.0.2.0 is now there for me to use. But if i reboot and later return to recovery its back to the old V2xxxx..
Any ideas why this is happening? Is it really necessary to move on to the V5xxxx versions? I was going to try out some new roms and they failed to load yesterday through v2.5.0.7 yet the rom i had been using loaded fine.
Thanks in advance..
When you use Rom Manager to flash a rom or reboot into recovery from Rom Manager, it boots the recovery from a downloaded recovery file. It's known as fake flash or in other words, it's temporary. If you want a permanent recovery, you would need to flash a recovery.img through fastboot.

if your Desire is s-off, then ROM Manager flashes recovery normally.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
rom manager now works only if u have s-off..no fake flash anymore is possible
revolutionary.io will upgrade cwm if you want
I think this thread answers one of my own questions but will ask it anyway to confirm; when I rooted my Desire (via Unrevoked) a few months back, the ROM Manager app that continues to be updated via the market offers the option to upgrade the version of CWM... is it OK to proceed with this?
I've been wary of upgrading from the version installed via the rooting process, just in case, but seeing this thread has made me think there isn't actually an issue with whatever version of recovery you have installed?

Out of curiosity - what roms you tried to load? As far as I know 2.5.0.7 was the last cwm supporting both amend and edify scripting and it never failed for me personally.
To upgrade recovery (or hboots) I always use Fastboot Commander and it's very easy to use and never let me down.

I agree. Unless you need to maintain an ext 4 partition (as 2.5.0.7 converts it to lower apparently when backing up) I see no reason to change from 2.5.0.7.
I use it even today. Best recovery IMHO.
