Hello guys, first, sorry for my bad english
I was asked many times how to update CWM, I have sometimes made a little guide!
the installation:
To use the ClockworkMod recovery, you have to install it to first on your device. This is relatively simple and is implemented using the fastboot commands from the Android SDK. To install the recovery so you need:
-the Android SDK with fastboot.exe
-the right Recovery.img
First, turn off your phone and your start up in bootloader. How is that working with the many devices usually different. If your in the boot loader since, you go to the option "Fast Boot" by your using the Volume Down and Volume Up keys to navigate to the item and then press the power button once. If your boat has been in fast, you will start to enter a new CMD window with "Windows Key + R" and CMD. Press ENTER again and the cmd window should appear. Now you have spingen her to the place by the fastboot.exe exists. In our case, it goes like this:
cd C: \ tools adb
In the folder is copied by the fastboot.exe You now have the recovery.img Once you have your cell phone now infected, provided that the USB driver installed, you give into the CMD window the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The file is recovery.img while the ClockworkMod recovery. After the command is executed successfully, the ClockworkMod recovery is successfully installed.
if there are any questions, just write
Some times hard to follow your English but very good guide thanks for sharing

or you could possibly download rom manager from the play store and flash clockworkmod recovery?
yes, this is possibly too, but than you maybe have not the latest version of the CWM
Edit: and for any Roms you need the latest version of CWM to install it
And thid is a guide how to update the CWM, not how to install it

Hello evrybody,
Let me explain you the problem
Current configuration: HTC Desire (Bravo) PVT1 (ship s-on)
Baseband/Radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17
Rooted with unrEVOked v3
ROM LeeDroid v2.4.1
HBOOT v0.80.0000
I tryed to s-off my phone with AlphaRev v1.8 using VirtualBox v4.0.6 (with usb 2.0 support add-on installed) under Windows 7 Pro x86 with SP1.
For some (unknown to me) reasons it didn't worked for me....
Current situation:
- Impossible to boot the OS - blank htc screen
- In Bootloader menu ("Power"+"Volume down") when trying to enter Clockwork Recovery Mod sometimes phone rebooting 4 times and sometimes it make 7 fast vibrations but anyways dropes me to blank htc screen...
- While I'm in Bootloader and connected through USB to PC, I can see that in Device Manager - Android Phone - Bootloader Interface detected (drivers OK)
Please help me.....
Did you ask on the alpha rev irc channel?
Since your phone is still able to start the bootloader, you should be able to get it back up running using fastboot.
Step1: Download some stuff.
- An image of your favorite recovery tool. I'm using clockworkmod recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod
You want the .img file.
- The Android SDK. Use Google =)
Step2:
Start the SDK Manager and download the SDK Tools and SDK Platform Tools. You now should have a "fastboot.exe" in the "tools"-folder.
Step3:
Connect your phone via usb, boot up the bootloader, and enter fastboot mode.
Step4:
Open a command line window using shift+right click in the folder where fastboot is. Launch "fastboot.exe devices". This should list your device. If not, Download the USB Driver Package using the SDK Manager and install the fastboot drivers. Windows might start whining about not being able to find the driver, but its definitely there. If fastboot.exe fails to start, you might need to copy it to the platform-tools folder and/or run cmd.exe using administrator privileges.
Step5:
Copy your recovery image to where fastboot.exe is and execute "fastboot.exe flash recovery <yourrecoveryimage>"
Further Steps:
You should now be able to boot into recovery and install roms.
You can also try to flash hboot using fastboot. If this fails, you got a handy $400 mirror to put in your pocket. You've been warned
Download a suitable image from alpharev (i think you want to go with the stock s-off hboot - that one with 250MB system) and flash it using "fastboot.exe flash hboot <hbootimage>" like described above.
Hope that helps.

it is not to hard, Download the zip I included which will have ADB, fastboot and drivers.
First step is to extract the files onto the C drive to make it easy.
Next is to plug your phone in and boot into HBOOT, then make sure it is in FASTBOOT. Now your computer should look for the drivers, if it has a hard time finding them, go to Device manger (go to start and type device manger), find your phone, you should see a yellow triangle with a exclamation with it. Tell it to search the folder that is named Android USB driver.
Also put the IMG file of the recovery into the Android ADB and Fastboot folder
Once that is done go into cmd
then type cd: C:/Android ADB and Fastboot
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-ace.img
then type fastboot reboot
That should be it, I hope I remembered everything , if you need help, send me a message
I'll give it a try when I'm back home. Thanks to both of you

Thank you to all the DEV'S who have made this possible BIG UPS TO YOU
This worked for me, and in theory if my instructions are followed carefully it will work for you.
However if your results are not the same I am in no way responsible for any dammage done to your tablet!
THE GOOD STUFF
This was tested on Acer A100 on the latest ICS LEAK found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510706
Also my PC is running windows 7 x64
(Follow install instructions carefully)
First install the latest ICS leak http://vache-android.com/v1/index.ph...files&file=148
Once complete do a factory data reset on your device from the settings/backup and restore menu on the tablet
When that is complete, Root your Device using the method found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531646
( again Follow instructions Carefully )
BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOUR DEVICE IS ROOTED BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!!
Unlock your BOOTLOADER using the method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557445
(Really be careful here!)
This is where it gets tricky download http://forum.tegraowners.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=369 for your OS and extract recovery_thor17_403.img to the root of your platform-tools folder for instance mine is C:\android-sdk\platform-tools
Once completed on your PC open a command prompt as an administrator and navigate to your platform-tools folder from cmd prompt e.g. cd c:\android-sdk\platform-tools and hit enter
next type the following commands:
adb reboot bootloader
once in bootloader mode type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_thor17_403.img
and hit enter you will see it flash to your device within a couple of seconds.
once complete with the tablet in upright landscape mode ( home button on the right hand side ) power the device down and power it back on while holding the leftmost volume button firmly when it vibrates you may release the power button.
continue to hold the volume button until you see Booting recovery kernel image on the screen.
if all went well you now have cwm on your device
now for rom manager!
boot back into android OS and navigate to the google market, search for rom manager in the upper search pane.
download the app and install
open the app and press ok
next press flask clockworkmod recovery
next confirm your phone model
a popup will say your device is not officially supported press yes
next confirm version 3.x+
and you should be good to go

Download the updated file from the above website, extract it to your desktop, and run acera200simpletool.bat and follow the onscreen instructions.
Once complete download the rom manager app from the market and install it.
Once installed open from manager and choose flash clockwork mod recovery from the top of the list, then confirm your device is Acer a100. It will say there is currently no recovery for your device and ask if you installed a custom one, choose yes and select the second option it should say 3.x.x or something to that effect. Again confirm your selection and tada you now have cwm and a working from manager. I have tested this and made a complete backup already. Cheers

hello masterpcker...Did you install anything else first? Were you just using the standard a100 root? Also, did you unlock your bootloader beforehand? thanks so much friend
Yes I unlocked my boot loader first, and my device was rooted so all I did was run the .bat file from the above website and choose option 3 install recovery only. I am about to try a modded a500 from and see what it does.

I will be eager to hear how that comes out! I wish you the best of luck, but I'm not real confident. let us know the outcome if you don't mind....good luck!
For some reason I followed the directions to install CWM and it doesn't work.
When I try to boot to recovery all I see is the android mascot on it's back with a warning sign. If I press the home button it brings up the Android System Recovery, which I believe is the stock recovery. I'm not even sure how to select the items. I can only highlight the menu items using the volume keys.
It doesn't look like the cwm that I have flashed on my atrix.
Any ideas?
Edit...
Btw, I did unlock my bootloader
Well the a500 modded rom was a bust, it just booted to a really colorful screen lol. But my Android backup worked great for reinstall

What's the syntax did you use to dd to the device?
I found this dd syntax in the other thread. That the same one you used?
Code:
su
dd if=/mnt/external_sd/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
-Extract the zip folder "recoverycwma100" ( It's a recovery into Acer a200 simple tool )
-Copy ''recovery.img'' into your external sd card
-open a terminal emulator to your A100 ( root acces !!! )
- Write the following commands :
su
dd if = / mnt / external_sd / recovery.img of = / dev/block/mmcblk0p1
-wait a message '' xxxx bytes transferred in... ''
-exit terminal
-open root explorer with a mount system
-rename the file '' install-recovery.sh'' into /etc/ it '' install-recovery.bak''
Reboot into recovery with volum down + power , and Enjoy

Can't we just go into fastboot and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
If you're running linux or just want to use adb it's way more simple than it looks.
Code:
Adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
And if you brick your device by accidently installing the wrong boot.img
find your respected rom .zip file that you are currently using and use this.
Code:
Adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot

I can confirm that I have already flashed the recovery.img via fastboot, however cwm still fails on my particular tab. I did a full factory reset and flashed the entire new ics through recovery with the exact same results. I will be investigating the cause of some tabs doing this later tonight when I get home from work. If someone figures this out please post. I have gotten the recovery.img to flash via the a200cwm, however android exclamation upon recovery attempt. i have tried all three paths with no success. I am almost certain that it is a problem with the rooting method, but i won't have time to have a look until tonight. thanks and goodluck! I think the problem could be because of installing different rooting methods in the past, however I have yet to find a way to solve it.
hello,
I want to unroot my WFS if possible.
I got Android 2.3.5 and clockworkk recovery, which I want to 'delete'.
So to make a long story short, I want it back as I bought it, if possible .

relock your bootloader first
then flash stock ruu
you will be unrooted
to flash stock recovery,extract recovery.img from stock ruu and place it in c:\
connect your phone to pc in fastboot mode (you should have android sdk installed)
open cmd and type "cd c:\" without quotes
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
now you should have stock recovery

first of all for fully unroot you need stock ruu (like if your wfs model is european brand your stock ruu is eu 2.26.401.3 )
you can find it in android dev thread>marvel/marvelc stock ruu thread by jmztaylor
then run it on computer..(you can see now update wizard,dont close it)
now open task manager see processes you will see process named ARUwizard (something) right click and select open location.
now you will see temp folder is opened..you will find rom.zip in that folder..copy that zip file (its our stock ruu)
now you can close that update wizard because we got our rom.zip
now renamed rom.zip to PG76IMG.zip
now go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1530864
and download bootloader control tool.
flash it from cwm recovery..
A Menu-type will appear. It will show you 4 options:
Unlock Bootloader
Lock Bootloader (Guarantee Mode)
Lock Bootloader (Relocked State)
Supervision
Now, choose 2 or 3 option.
Then say "NO" to reboot. Go back to the main menu of CWM.
It'll reboot the recovery and get you the main menu again.
then flash that tool again now choose supervision and reboot..
now time to make gold card.
go here,
http://www.mediafire.com/?hdxoe6e5km434tb
download it and put phone in debugging mode and select mmc00 mmc01 (try one by one till ones give u cid)
then put cid in given website and you will hv now goldcard.img
put it phone in usb mounting mode,and put that PG76IMG.zip on it and patch with goldcard.img
now just put that sdcard on your phone and wait...phone will detect zip and it ll asked for confirmation..say yes with volume up and you will be unrooted after sometimes(this process takes upto 5-10 min)
good luck
IMP NOTE :
AS GOLDCARD CREATION WEBSITE IS PROBABLY CLOSED,FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL TO CREATE BOO.IMG AND THEN PATCH IT WITH GOLDCARDCREATOR
1) download this and extract it.
http://d-h.st/UGV
2) Start CMD as administrator.
3)Type, then press ENTER after each command:
Code:
cd c:\gcard
gcard.exe -r -c [COLOR="Indigo"]enteryourmmccode[/COLOR] -o Chiffinske.img
4) now rename chiffinske.img to boot.img and patch it with goldcard creator utility.
( thanks a lot to genepool to create this script so we can create boot.img without that website )

You can root your phone by using the HTC super tool, just google for it.
I assume you have stock recovery on your phone, then you actually can't really use that recovery. You should try to root it with supertool
and then install CWM with ROM Manager
I hope this came in handy for you!

After unlocking, you have to root the device first then install CWM and take a nandroid backup thru Recovery option.
For rooting you can also use root.zip method. just google it.
To flash CWM, goto Hboot menu and select fastboot, then goto cmd (command prompt) on pc try using fastboot commands to flash boot.img, system.img and recovery.img.
Hope this may be useful.....

bro, this time i flashed the PG76IMG.zip files but when i go into the recovery to flash install from root.zip, the same black screen comes up. this is the problem which i have been having.. the black screen on recovery which makes us do nothing at all..
i think a new custom recovery has to be made for the htc wildfire s inorder to prevent the black screen on recovery. or does anyone know how to root wildfires without the need to go into any custom recovery mode. please help .. this has become a real problem.. i really wish there was a way.

Maybe you need to downgrade your stock ROM (if you still can boot it up so to say).
Look for a RUU for WFS and try to downgrade/upgrade HBOOT and such to an older/newer version.
Sorry that I can't post any links too RUUs, I'm on my phone.
But there is a tread with these in the Dev section I think, but if they don't work you can just google for them.
tbh I have a similar problem with my bro's WFS, I can't even unlock it because of wrong versions a such so I think your problem could be related to this.

I think you you've chosen the wrong cwm. Chose the right one here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
download PG76IMG.zip and you need to install it using fastboot, it will not work using the zip file from your sd card. Make sure you delete that file before attempting what is below (adapted from CafeKampuchia's guide on rooting).
You will need SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync installed on your Windows computer. Install the SDK tools in a directory named something like c:\android. Put the recovery image in this directory, too, not the zip file.
Boot the phone into HBOOT by turning the phone off, removing the battery, replacing the battery then holding down the power key and volume button. After it scans for PG7610.zip, select FASTBOOT and press the power button then connect the USB cable. The word FASTBOOT will change into FASTBOOT USB. If not, then either your USB drivers for the Wildfire S or Android SDK Tools is not installed properly.
Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to c:\android
Type the following command: fastboot flash recovery [image name.img]. For example:
c:\android\>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Hope this will install ClockworkMod recovery properly. (If really press 'thank').

i dont think that would work i've tried every recovery i've found here and still black screen you may want to downgrade your kernel after unlock of bootloader then use superoneclick. if not working look for my post before which uses taco root to root the device
