[Q] updating clockworkmod recovery - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hello All. Is there some way to update clockwork mod recovery? I have an older version 3.something and i know there is a new version 5.something. I can log into the 5.something version with rom manager but I would like to be able to go directly into it. When i hold down power + vol down i go to 3.something even though my rom manager is updated to 5.something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

would you happen to have the link for the new one? the only ones i could find are part of the super one click which contains 3.something. also i tried flashing the one from ROM manager but it doesn't seem to overwrite the current version. I can only get into the new version via rom manager..which doesn't help if i need to restore or do backups of newer cyanogenmods.

i just compiled it from source today so it should be latest give if they updated it today(source is from yesterday)
So how do i go about installing this? install zip from recovery? do i have to do anything such wiping? thanks so much.
Nope, doesn't stick.
"the only good bug is a dead bug"
only way I know is to use unrevoked to change recovery. It involves restoring using the original 2.1 ruu and unrevoking again. DO NOT USE THE 2.2 froyo ruu or you'll never root again.
Before you plug your phone in for unrevoked, start unrevoked and one of the options let you select a custom recovery. Select your custom recovery and then plug your phone into the pc. If you don't do it that way you'll wind up with 2.5 again.
Remember use the original htc rom for the aria. Not the 2.2 rom.

cwm 3.0 cannot flash anything that uses amend based update scripts. The must be based on edify. Other than that its fine. And cwm is built everytime you build cm7.
So its completely safe to upgrade?
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
when can we expect it to be signed cuz i have tried and like the new features and a little change in interface
it doesnt matter if its signed as explained earlier in the thread the only way to have it stick is to restore your phone to stock unrooted 2.1(NOT 2.2) and use unrevoked with an alternate recovery.img

Yes, 3.x zips must use the new edify method. The old update script method does not work.

[Q] ClockworkMod ROM Manager

I was trying to make a backup of my current ROM/info before I installed a new kernel, but when I click "Backup current ROM", I get a pop up that says
Flash Clockworkmod Recovery
You must have CLockworkMOD Recovery Installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager first.
I click Install and it asks me to confirm my phone model, but the closes thing that it offers to my phone model is the Samsung t-Mobil Galaxy S2. Is this the one I should use? Or is there another way I should be going about this?
Sorry for all the n00b questions, just want to make sure I do everything right incase I have to fix my phone. haha
Select t-mobile.
Sent from my SGH-I727R using xda premium
Yes you must choose tmobile galaxy s2. Its the same as our phone, ours is not listed. But that is what everyone who uses rom manager does
Don't choose Motorola Startac, you're phone will explode....
As mentioned, the T-Mo Clockwork mod option is the one you want. That is, unless they have added proper Skyrocket option since the last time I flash in CWM.

I just installed the Touch Recovery from Rom Manager using the Android Market in-app purchase. Updated my CWM to 5.8.1.3, from what I gather on the website, this is the T-Mobile SGS 2 version. Works fine from what I can tell/tested.

[Q] What is the most stable CWM version for the LG P500/P509?

Hey everyone, I've been having my second brick dilemma over the past 24 hours. It seems that the latest version available via ROM Manager hasn't been installing correctly for Optimus One users (I've seen multiple cases). I'm very weary in trying to install CWM through RM again, and I want to know what the latest stable version you guys have is. Either that, or a recovery similar to CWM and can install CM10 again for me.
CWM 5.0.2.0, I have been using it for ten months without a single issue.

Alright. Do you know where I can find the recovery image? I don't trust ROM Manager to install it, as that's the one that was being installed when my phone bricked.

Seeing as how I have the Optimus T (Basically the One with the old BB, new one doesn't allow networking as far as I can tell), would Touch work with it? I updated via ROM this time and now have 5.0.2.0 installed. :highfive:
Stable recovery
TOUCH RECOVERY of CWM 5.0.2.7 by vivekalady is the most stable . you can get it in the forum.or u may try twrp recovery.

Thanks. As I'm using the Optimus T with an upgraded Base Band, I'll hold off on the Touch version for now, but I'll definitely keep it in mind and try it later. There's really no part of this forum dedicated to the T, because it has a weird resemblance to the One but isn't like it in all ways.

[ROOT] Straight Talk: Samsung Galaxy Centura

It's been successfully rooted with POOT.
It has also been rooted via CWM by Area51 Here for CWM and then Here for Root! I did find some ROM development going on at Area51 as well here. Area51's CWM does not appear to play nice with any phone rooted with Poot however so it's best to install CWM from Area51 first and then use their root method.

The root method used at A51 is out-of-date, and can't be updated. Therefore, you'll continuously receive an update notification and won't be able to stop it.

Not True! All you have to do is just not install the update when it boots you into CWM. This will be fixed when they complete the ROM they're working on. I don't get update reminders after accepting the first one and just not installing it once in recovery mode at the install screen!

You might want to wait for Area51 to complete their first ROM for the phone. Currently it has an annoying update that keeps trying to install over the rooted stock OS that will break root if you install it. Of course you can just keep clicking on accept and then selecting NO when you get to the install update screen in CWM like I do, but it's an annoyance.

Not yet. Something that Samsung broke in the kernel is preventing the ROMs from booting up.

Did you rename the backup? If it has spaces, it will cause that error.

[Q] 2 Important questions before flashing

Before I start I would like to thank you in advance for dedicating your time to help me here (assuming that you did).I couldn't find the answers on the forums even though I searched.
1. Is there any way to backup my 2.2.1 froyo rom along with the kernel and baseband and EVERYTHING to make sure that if I take it back for repairs they can't accuse me of anything?
2. I have P500H and not the normal P500 mentioned in these forums, is there any risk of brick by flashing another rom designed for P500? And if it does work, will all of my cellular connectivity (RIL, calls, sms, 3G) keep working?
