Does anyone know how I can revert my current CWM 3.0 back to an earlier version? 3.0+ doesn't support flashing zips in recovery.
Thanks

no i think he means like flashing a zip'd rom or kernel other than update.zip?
and you most certainly can flash a zip in recovery... i just did it 2 seconds ago and im on 3.0.0.5

I tried flashing a newer radio earlier through recovery (update.zip), but it would say something about not being able to do it anymore (forgot the exact phrasing). Something about Edify scripting and Gingerbread.
The newer ClockworkMod recoveries have dropped support for the old Amend scripted .zip files is all.

So we shouldn't update CWM recovery to the lastest version to flash roms or make backups? Rather stick with an older version from the bottom of the menu?
Ive been keeping with an older version but just want some clarification if i can update to lastest CWM version?
Depends. Most newer updates are being made in Edify now (install-binary & updater-script), so you'll mostly be OK.
But if you do want to use things with Amend then it's either older CWM or Amon Ra recoveries for you.

Flashed to 2.5.0.4 no problem. But ROM Manager still indicates 2.5.0.1 is installed.
So how do I get ROM Manager to indicate the right recovery version?
UPDATE: Just after I posted this...I booted into recovery and found that I had been flashed back to the older version 2.5.0.1. What the ...! I did not do this. Did ROM Manager flash me back? How do I get 2.5.0.4 to stay flashed? I know it flashed correctly at first because it showed the new version right after I used Unrevoked 3.1. Anyone know why this is happening?
i don't really see a point in updating since it already works for me now...
rom manager reports the older version for me, but booting into recovery it is reporting the newest .4 version

ROM Manager cannot flash recovery because NAND is still locked. Only through the unrevoked tool does NAND temporarily unlock in order to flash clockwork. So if you followed the steps correctly using the unrevoked tool then you have the correct version. Booting into recovery (I think you can't boot through ROM Manager, boot manually or via boot loader) should show the updated version.

Boot into recovery via ROM Manager. Note the version. Then boot into recovery "manually" (hold volume down while powering on). Note the version again. Notice anything different?

recovery by ROM Manager I get 2.5.0.1
recovery by vdown & Pon I get 2.5.0.4
Thanks, now I'm confused even more. Why are they different? And when I go back into ROM Manager it still reports 2.5.0.1. So my original question still stands: How do I get ROM Manager to display the correct version of recovery which is really 2.5.0.4? Even more...why does the recovery manager report 2.5.0.1 when booting into recovery via ROM Manager? This is reallyyyy strange!

Thanks for responding. I understand. But that doesn't answer my question about how to get ROM Manager to report the correct version. Do you know the answer to this?
What is even more confusing is when I boot into ClockworkMod recovery from the ROM Manager and the version of ClockworkMod Recovery is reported on screen as 2.5.0.1 when it is really 2.5.0.4....this just blows me away! It is like ROM Manager is substituting its own version number into the newer version of recovery.

If i understand this correctly: The version that ROM Manager reports and boots into is actually a virtual version. This is because, due to the fact that NAND isn't unlocked yet ROM manager can't actually write to it, So when it is "flashing the recovery" it really is only flashing a "virtual recovery". This is why you could on some phones have an older version of recovery flashed and ROM manager would report a newer version that is available.
In short to answer your question, you can't get ROM manager to report the newer version until rom manager has that newer version in it's list, which it currently does not. And even when it is in the list it makes no difference anyway, because unless you boot into recovery using the power button and volume button, the recovery that you boot into will be a virtual one anyway.... so it really makes no difference what ROM Manager is reporting.
And if i am incorrect in my understanding then, disregard all of this but i remember another post with all this in it.

Thanks. I appreciate your feedback on this. It would explain why I am seeing a different version for the ROM Manager. What I still don't understand is why ROM Manager misleads you into thinking you are booting to the recovery partition. I mean, why even have an option in the program to "Reboot into Recovery" if you are really NOT booting into the recovery partition, but rather a virtual recovery. So, what would happen if you tried to use the virtual recovery as opposed to the real recovery (which in this case is a different version)? Anyone know, or have tried it?

other than flashing a new recovery, the recovery that rom manager boots into works exactly the same as the "real one" in fact i don;t do it the "hard way" any more.
This is probably a dumb question but do I open the img file after I plug in the phone?
Lexus One said:

Easiest way is this:
1) Uninstall ROM Manager.
2) Reinstall ROM Manager.
ROM Manager will now display no version, as opposed to the wrong version.
And then...
Never again use the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" command in ROM Manager. If you want to update recovery, use the unrevoked flasher with the custom recovery option.
Changes?...
Hello,
I tried to install the DSP Manager on my Nexus One 2.2.1 Stock rooted.
But the clockworkmod recovery aborts the install when I install this zip file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7999651&postcount=7
It says that the zip file is not compatible with the Clockworkmod recovery 3.0 Gingerbread based.
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

Thank you but I downgraded my Clockworkmod and it worked.
interesting, so the DSD audio app can function on stock ROM without and custom edits to any ROM files? or does it only need root access (obviously) to be able to hook into the appropriate part of the OS in order to function...
i always thought special changes were made in cyanogen for DSD audio to work...
It says that i need to update a script or something and something about android 1.5. I'm currently on the cm 7 nightly #21. I've tried various sense roms like fresh rom 2.4, espresso hero, etc. If i go to rom manager, it says the clockworkmod recovery is 2.5.0.7 even though it says 3.0.0.5 if i go to recovery. Don't really know what to do so if you know what to do, please reply.

Those ROMs must be using amend scripts and the latest recovery uses edify. There are a few things you could do:
1. Flash an older recovery - CWM 2x or RA 1.x and then flash the ROM
2. Update the scripts to edify and then flash the ROM

In Rom Manager scroll down to the bottom and select flash alternate recovery then scroll to the top and select flash Clockwork Mod recovery. Should be good to go after that

Use method 2 from the ROMRepo. The only difference is is that if you have the latest ROM Manager, the folder that has the newest recovery image will be mirror.kanged.net. That's how I'm able to flash the different images. Edit the recoveries in that folder.
It wont allow me to post the link so just grab it from the OP of the aospCMod ROM.

I don't like flashing Sense roms from CW and my phone doesn't either. Usually what I'll do is since I'm on CW 3.0.1.9 I just make a backup of what I want to keep on my PC, wipe everything including the /recovery option and flash RA's recovery. For ME, it seems to work better these days. Many months ago when my Hero was still fresh I could flash everything. At least it overclocks to 807 without an issue.
Oh btw, if you run a google for "RA recovery heroc" you'll find it. Info on flashing a recovery is everywhere within XDA, after a while you just remember these things
Looks like the official CWM is here, go grab it

There's one problem with it (at least for me)
Trying to make a backup from inside ROM Manager reboots the phone, starts CWM but stops at the error: "Error mounting /system"...
Anyone got it working?
Just download it from the market. The recovery works fine.
Also getting "can't mount /system", so, guess it's kind of useless then.
I just tried a work-around for the "can't mount /system"-error ^^
I used this nice Easy Recovery Installation kit with Paul's CWM first version and now it works from inside ROM Manager!

The only thing that bugs me is that you can't manage nor see the backups you made because ROM Manager looks on the internal "SD-Card"-Partition...

Instead of spamming the CWM 3 thread I figured I'd open up a new one. What I'm doing here is rebuilding the ClockworkMOD updates pushed over ROM Manager into fastboot flashable recovery.img files. These are for S-OFF users ONLY. If you're S-ON check ROM Manager for a compatible version.

What's new with cwm5?
Is it possible to flash radio zip like cwm2 and cwm3 zip like ogo rom.
It's faster, blue and has a new format for backups. Any zip that didn't work with CWM 3 won't work here either.
