[Q] Clockwork Recovery question

I installed Rom Manager and chose backup current rom. It installed ClockworkMod Recovery and successfully made a backup. I need to know two things and I couldn't find how.
First of all, when I use 3 button combination to boot into recovery I see the default 2e recovery screen, nothing new. Is this normal? My device had 3 button combinations disabeld and I used 3-button combo fix to fix it.
Second, how can I remove/uninstall Clockwork Recovery? I want to keep the phone as original/intact as possible if it needs to go to service.

Normaly the Clockworkmod create a Update.zip and when u go into the recovery Mod and choose apply update.zip he loads the clockworkrecovery..! Hope this was your Question...!

You mean every time I need to run Clockworkmod Recovery I need to run its update.zip at normal recovery?

There are 2 Ways to get into The Clockwork Recovery
1. Over the Rom Manager (but i think there u also must apply the update.zip)
2. Apply Update Zip in "normal" Recovery..
And yeah you must apply it every Time u want to get into this Recovery..

Well that clears up how to uninstall it, no need for it
Thanks for the help.

how do i remove clockworkmod recovery

as the title says, how do i remove cwm? i want to try cm7 and i cant do that with pauls version of cwm, and it refuses to update cwm
so some1 please enlighten me as to how i remove it
another quick question what is a nandroid, and how do i make one?

It should work to update even thou there's an old version installed. I did that this morning from Pauls O2X Clockwork Recovery. But now since this afternoon I'm not able to install the recovery from RomManager anymore I think there is a server issue.
The reason I did have to download it again was because I wanted to start som scratch and flashed the original O2X ROM and then wanted to go to CM again.

Install ROM Manager, I was running CWM 3.0.1.8 or something like that prior to running CWM from CM7.
You can also restore the original bootloader, look up for r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned.zip
As to nandroid, basically it is a full backup of your phone. You should always make a nandroid backup before installing another ROM.

[Q] Flashing G2X back to Stock Recovery Image???

I have rooted my G2X and installed the latest Clockwork recovery file and wanted to know is there a stock recovery image I can flash using clockwork recovery? Or is there a one click method out there somewhere?
I just want to know if I have to take the unit in for repair, I can flash everything back to stock?

[Q] How to download clockworkmod and install while offline?

Hello.
ROM manager is unable to download clokworkmod recovery. Maybe because I'm in a "sanctioned country" CUBA and I have a lot of internet restrictions from both Google and my ISP.
My question is: Can I manually download clokworkmod recovery and copy it on the SD card and have ROM manager install it?
If the answer is yes: How? and where do I find Clockworkmod for the captivate?
i897 stock 2.1.1 rooted and unlocked.
Thanks.

all rom manager does is put this zip file on your sdcard. its not needed.
just drop this on the root of your sdcard, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice. CWM will come up then

the one caveat to this ... make sure you have the 2e boot loader when you boot into recovery. The 2e bootloader is the stock bootloader that comes with froyo. 3e will require you to have the update packages signed, and therefore will need to downgrade to 2e before you can switch to CWM.

Wrong.
2e RECOVERY comes from firmware 2.1, which the OP stated he was on. Froyo comes with 3e recovery. Has nothing to do with bootloader, because the bootloaders are the same between eclair and Froyo.

GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Working, one more question. I noticed three things:
1 - If I reboot to recovery again it goes into stock recovery (2e). Then I hit reinstall packages only once and ClockWorkMod comes up.
2 - If I delete the update.zip from the sd card CWM will not work.
3 - ROM Manager still says that CWM is not installed therefore is not working OK.
Is all this ok? Should I select: "Install sdcard:update.zip" while in CWM? Should I do something else?

That sounds pretty normal to me. If you are getting into CWM then thats all that really matters. The deal with ROM manager is that it doesnt work very well with our phones. But if you are trying to flash a custom ROM you can still do it without ROM Manager. However, you need to read up about the rom you want to flash because it is a slightly risky process. Its as risky as using ROM Manager and almost Russian roulette if you dont read.
But do not delete the update.zip after you install it. I dont know if it messes with the boot process of recovery mod but I do know its better to have that backup file on your SD card already if you run into a problem later on.

Don't bother with ROM manager. Its close to useless with SGS phones. Make sure your 3 botton combo works and you should be golden. Also making a jig isn't a bad idea also, just incase you do screw up and you get in a softbrick where your keycombos decide to not work.

Trying to flash Cyanogenmod, got stuck in recovery

I have stock N1 on 2.3.6, just unlocked the bootloader and now I'm trying to load a custom recovery image so I can put Cyanogenmod on there, but it won't go into clockwork mod. I can't get root either. Is there anyway to flash it?

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Nexus_One:_Full_Update_Guide

I went with Amon_Ra's Recovery instead of ClockworkMod Recovery and finally it worked.

Is it reverting to the custom recovery?
Edit: Ok glad you were able to solve it sorry i didnt read the other post!
