Im running clockwork mod 2.5.0.7 and through rom manager ive tried updating to 5.something. However it never works, so, i have the .img file for the newest version. how do i update to it manually? Oh and i don't want to use adb.
thanks in advance
I'm guessing you flash it using CWR

thats what i figured, but it doesn't allow you to flash .img, only .zip. unless im missing something

a) You are missing the whole point of the development section.
b) there is a reason why a number of reputable members here still use cwm 2.5.0.7
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.
the only reason im updating is because i want to partition my sd without using adb, but that isn't working out with 2.5
This is the first one for me that partitioning can be done from adb. I love this board as every day I learn something new.

Use gparted for your sd card...

I think he means, you need recovery as it was PRE-ClockworkMod. Any threads?
(correct me if I'm wrong)
Then that's a different matter altogether. Will need to figure that out. Does that involve unrooting the device after recovery?

I'm going to do this tomorrow to update. It should work.
So did it work
- Backup everything using CWM and Titanium Backup.
- Install the RUU to get back to Stock Recovery. (You'll loose all settings/apps/SMS/etc..)
- Install your OTA update.
- Restore everything using Titanium Backup.
This should work for any of you who has CWM Recovery. If you already have Stock Recovery, then you're ready to go. You don't need to flash a new rom by the RUU.
It's not the root that is causing the problem, it is the CWM Recovery.
Keep in mind, flashing a RUU may brick your device, I take no responsibilities of any damage that may be caused to your device
I just discovered a new method, tried it and it worked.
Take a look at this.

Since you're already rooted, just download rom manager and flash the custom recovery (clockworkmod)

If your bootloader is unlocked you have to flash the boot IMG separate.

Since it is your first time, I would highly suggest making full nandroid backup of you phone and saving the file elsewhere. So that is something goes horribly wrong you can always revert. RomManager can do the backup I believe, though I use Titanium Backup Pro.

You need adb installed on your computer and phone should be in bootloader and plugged into computer via usb.
Place the recovery (let's call it recovery.img) in the fastboot folder in adb.
Then, in a command prompt navigate to the adb directory on your sd card. For instance, on my computer I have the simple adb install, so I would type
cd C:\adb
fastboot flash recovery.img
I have adb set up on my computer and I place the file in the same folder as fastboot and rename it to recovery.img then I open my command prompt in that window so its already where it needs to be and the I boot my phone into fastboot via adb and I type in the command that's suppose to flash it but it always tells me error unable to load am I missing a step? Do I need it on my SD card? It's driving me crazy I was unable to downgrade bc of this problem to

Make sure you have "Hide extensions for known file types" disabled in windows folder settings. It's possible the name of the file is actually recovery.img.img so you're directing adb to flash a filename that doesn't exist.

For one... TWRP is easier to use (better touch interface).
TWO.. it allows you to flash radio images, even with S-ON
Three... it's much faster at installing ZIPs / backing up or restoring.
For that alone. it's alone for me to run it.

You don't have to flash the hboot through fast boot with twrp you can just flash the Rom and it will automatically flash in the recovery
sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
only negative to consider is that any backups you made with cwm may not restore with twrp. you will have to start from scratch or reflash cwm to restore an older one if needed--
Awesome, so it's almost like having s-off because we don't have to flash the boot separately? More or less?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
yea, that's about all it does
i consider s-off when we can change partition table and get more data space
So do you reccomend me to flash twrp? have this any bug?
I've done it, and it works great.
Made Backup and Restore,
no Problems at all.

What about an App to run it from within the ROM like ROM Manager?

Just flash it guys, if you don't like it go back. It's not like like flashing radios, hboots etc. Very quick and easy.

Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I have to disagree with a few posts here, you can do everything the same way with both recoveries. You don't need to flash the boot image in fastboot with cwm I've done it myself and I didn't see any difference in speed between the two backing up or restoring.
It's preference on which you choose to use, I'm not saying that either is bad they both have a great support background and are dedicated to quality as they should be, it's the most important software on your device in consideration to root users and without it working properly your taking a very large risk.
Personally believe recovery should be layed out in a manner that is easy to use and functional for all types of users, adding gimmicks to something that should be taken seriously I feel is unnecessary and both teams do a great job of keeping it clean and treat the work as if they are paid to make them.
Both are great at their work, both are worth having.

Evening sensation people, I am a Rezound owner speaking on behalf of my friend. He owns a sensation that since day one has been plagued with random hot reboots. I thought it was a software issue and later found he had a faulty screen. We attempted to root but I could not get s-off using juopuntbear method. He is on ICS, stock ROM. He is rooted but nothing has been modified. He has clockworkmod as well. After replacing the screen and battery he still a year later has these random reboot issues. It is not tied to any particular action or app its just random. I love Android and have great experiences with the platform and want my friends to enjoy it as well power user or not. So if any info is needed please let me know ( logcats etc.). I think XDA's community is the best and I know someone here has an idea or two. I'll be checking back soon and I truly appreciate your time here guys thanks

Might be a faulty sd card or sim.
I'm pretty sure it was verified (as in using the device without these two for a while) but it was not mentioned...
Also, had a full and complete reset of all partitions been tried? Perhaps flush 4Ext recovery, wipe all partitions, and flush RUU. See how that holds.. and again, would be better to try that without sd and sim.

OK I'm not familiar with the 4ezt are you saying to try ruu with no sim installed. We have not tried that?
Sent from my Rezound using xda app-developers app
Random reboots could be a result of a loose battery. Make sure the battery is sitting tight enough in the housing. If it seems to wiggle a bit make sure the contacts are meeting properly on the battery and the device. Wedge a small piece of paper on the top of the battery to secure it.

4ext is a recovery. Similar but different that ClockWorkMod. You can find a link to it in my sig.
A faulty Sim and a faulty regard may cause random Reboot.
As matekaneve mentioned also a wiggling battery can cause this. Thanks for bringing that up

The battery thing is an interesting idea. He is on clockwork mod, should we just install the other recovery and ruu or flash a stock ROM? I'm just not familiar with The sensation and what people are using. Plus I have s-off on my rezound

If he's not s-off the only reasonable way of flushing roms is with 4Ext recovery with the 'SmartFlash' option turned on. Otherwise the kernel cannot be flashed (!!!)
And RUU is an exe file which takes care of mostly everything for you. It's an official HTC thing. You just need drivers so the phone is appropriately recognized by the Pc, and exeute the RUU. It will take care of the rest.
And yeap I meant a faulty sd card (and/or Sim)
