Replace recovery? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll try to explain this so I even understand what I'm trying to say. I want to use rom manager but I don't want to use the cwm recovery. I want to use twrp.
1) is this possible?
2) I have the image file of twrp and I tried looking for where rom manager downloads 2507 but I couldn't. I figured I would just replace the files.
Thanks to anyone that understands any of this.

If you downloaded a rom from the rom manager app you will find the file in sdcard/clockworkmod/download
Hope this helps. As for replacing files not sure if it will work or not. Good luck.

Cool thanks. But I'm looking to replace the recovery. So would that work

If you plan to use TWRP, there's no need to use ROM Manager. TWRP is far more capable than ClockworkMod and is easy to get to. Get "Quickboot", which makes it easy to boot directly to bootloader and then recovery, saving you from having to reboot your phone (trims down the time a bit).
To get TWRP in place, you need to use "flash_image".

[Q] Sexy ASOP 2.3.2 help

I just installed this ROM on my Alltel hero. It works great! However, I'm still trying to get mms to work. Before I upgraded clockwork recovery to 3, I could use this file. But now it won't let me use it as it says the scripting needs to be changed.
I can't get this to work. My MMS has been an issue with the CM ROMS, but I had a patched file that allowed it to work on the old Clockwork recovery. Like 2.5.5. But when I put CM7 on, I had to update clockwork to 3.x.x. Now I cannot flash this zip.
It says this "Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recover. Please switch to Edify Scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages. Installation aborted"
Can anyone help me with this?

If someone could direct me to a fix, that would be sweet as well!
same problem when i try flashing stuff
I flashed with the old clockwork just fine for me.
Is your zip file just apn settings? There is an app called apnbackup you could use but need to nandroid back to backup

I'm not sure...I didn't make the file?! haha any thoughts?
ClockworkMod 3 and ClockworkMod 2.5 can't flash the same zips.
To flash the one you want to flash, you need to either go back to ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1, or make your current zip flashable with ClockworkMod 3. To do that you can just get any zip that is flashable with 3.0 and put in your .apk and flash. There is a guide somewhere in the forums...do a search and you'll find it...in fact there was some talk in the GB thread on this idea.
*Edit* Just saw that it's not an .apk file...however, the same idea still applies. Just find a zip that is flashable in 3.0, and add the apns-conf.xml into the /etc folder in that zip.
You could also push the file to your phone using ADB or Root Explorer on your phone.

Go back to ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1. Use ROM Manager
If you do that, that will also take care of your issue of flashing your zip

Yup, works fine. I use it.
You just need to format everything manually in recovery.

Well, file flashed, but would not get passed the HTC logo screen. I just did a nandroid, but didn't try booting into it after restoring. I am again restoring, and will try booting into it, to see if it was the backup or the .zip.
ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 will auto format everything for you.
ClockworkMod 2.5.0.1 you have to go to "Partitions menu" and select the following:
format boot
format system
format data
format system
Essentially, other than causing flash issues with almost every .zip out there, ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 just saves a few key presses I would go back to 2.5.0.1 and you will have far less issues.

Thanks! I will go back to 2.5.0.1 and then reflash the original mms fix and see if it helps. If not, I will be back to see why it works on froyo and not on GB

CWM Question

I was just wondering what exactly makes a .zip CWM flashable?
I'm not sure what you're trying to ask...
Are you wanting to put CWM on to your phone via flashing with Recovery?
Or are you asking what actually makes the .zip do an update on your phone?

The second one. I was just wondering what kind of files need to be included in any zip that I would want to flash.
You can usually open any .zip or (or update.zip) to see the kind of way it needs to be set up, if you want to try something yourself.
I'll try that out, thanks!

Problems adding CWM after root

Hello.
Ive been trying to root for hours and tried different methods, but no goodies. This phone was originally with 2.2 froyo. I tried 1 click roots, but unable to install CWM. I used Odin (one click download one) to downgrade to 2.1 and still I can't get CWM to work after root.
I just want a stable root method so I cant just install any recovery that lets me backup+flash roms =]
Any help will be apreciated!
What method are you using to get CWM?

Well, I rooted with super 1 click and tried to apply the update.zip (CWM) and still got an error.
Thanks for replying.
EDIT** I also tried this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734163, but the link provided is dead.
Download ROM Manager from the market and use that to install CWM. I've had good luck that way.

I tried that too. When I flash CWM with rom manager and reboot to stock recovery, I choose "reinstall packages", I get an error.

I don't have the phone with me right now, but I'm pretty sure if was something about the SDcard. That it couldn't find something. Do I have to add an update.zip to the sdcard before flashing CWM with rom manager?
You don't, ROM manager puts it on there for you. It's the same process as doing it yourself, just automated. Let us know what the error was when you get back to your phone and we'll go from there.
Does anyone read any more?
2.2 has recovery 3e. you cant just install cwm from rom manager....
if you would GOOGLE the actual error message, you would see what the problem is, and that there is a sticky that covers the issue....
And if you read the whole post, you would have read that he downgraded to 2.1.

I agree that it causes more problems than it fixes for ROM installation, but it does work reliably for getting CWM working.

There are so many versions of Odin, can you link me the one you use? I just want to be sure is a version I can thrust.
The avatar is from Diabolic Tutor (Greg Staples art). I'm a little lost in MTG too hehe. I'm a retired FNM player xD
there you go, i have attached one.
most things go in the pda slot. and unless you have a .pit in place make sure repartition remains unchecked.
RIGHT diabolic tutor!!

Don't use it. Many users have bricked their devices using it. Although, I've used it with no problems.

ROM manager is killing our mini's depending on its mood, don't use it. Flash either CWM4.0.0.5 using Odin (harder way) or just flash CWM5 touch recovery by Squadzone in stock recovery (easy way). The last easy solution has the least chance to something go wrong

mmm, this looks like an update, guess i need the correct installable version first.
got a new problem going on.
i did an "update.zip" file put on the sd-card, after realizing it was not a correct file and did delete the zip file.
Now after reboot into (orriginal recovery mode) the "update.zip" is still an option to use while the cwm-update.zip (wich is actually on the sd-card) is not mentioned.
When trying to use the listed update file i get an error saying "file can't be found on the sd-card"
what to do?

If you'll open the zip file and look at it, you'll see it isn't a flashable a zip. It contains the boot, recovery, system, and userdata .img files. Looks like this either meant to be installed using fastboot commands or is not a completed rom. Either way I am not going to be trying to install this without some type instructions from the developer, or at least finding it list somewhere on a forum to read about it.
