Nooby question ik but where can ia ctually get it, ive searched the internet and only found update for it and control. How can i actually dl it straight to my phone -.-
Install the updater (HERE) and with the updater you install ext4 ;-)
If you buy the app from the market, which you don't *have* to do, just run the program and it walks you through the install, and will also let you know when an updated version is out. It's painless.
Since this is a 4ext thread... maybe someone can tell me where 4ext actually stores its backups on the SDcard?
I found my 2 backups that I made using Clockwork and before I installed a new ROM, I made another one using the 4ext Touch Recovery.
Yet, I'm unable to find where that backup is on my SDCard.
Help would be appreciated.

Lol. In the same folder as cwm backups, /sdcard/clockwork/backup
it uses clockwork folders and settings this is why it can run side by side with clockwork

Weird. I've only seen 2 backups there and I was almost 100% certain I made a 3rd one before I flashed the new ROM. Guess I didn't. Thanks though

I heard a little about the bootstrap thing, but what about the clockwork recovery?
I'm guessing they would both perform the same functions or is one different from the other?
Can anyone shed some light on this topic please? Sorry if its a repost.
EDIT: Now that I'm doing some more reading it seems like i need the bootstrap app anyway and then i put in clockwork recovery via rom manager?

That doesnt answer either of my questions, unless I"m not understanding and that koush's stuff includes clockwork. Not sure, can someone elaborate?

Clockwork and bootstrap are kind of the same. Install the bootstrap.apk and it allows you to get into clockwork...
You do not need to install clockwork from rom manager. Once you have bootstrap installed there is an option to boot into clockwork...
bootstrap is the way to install clockwork onto the droid2, rom manger will try to overwrite clockwork to the systems recovery and will prob brick your phone
I downloaded the Bootstrap and went into recovery and made a Backup. Then I downloaded Rom Manager. It flashed Clockwork Recovery without any issues.
how about amon_ra? has anyone gotten that on the droid 2? i use that on the EVO and LOVE it!
Noticed something strange going on with my recovery.
I recently updated to ICS 4.03 and installed the new firmware package and everything.
Previously on old Gingerbread roms I was using CWM.
Since changing to ICS it seems to have 4EXT recovery.
What I want to know is, is it now safe to delete the Clockwork Recovery folder on my SD Card? Seems i've got clutter and left overs that are no longer needed.
Or does 4EXT hook into CWM somehow?

Hi,
4EXT is the advanced version of CWM.
Do not delete Clockworkmod Folder.
It contains backups,both old and new.
4EXT and CWM are completely interchangeable.
4EXT is great.
Try it,you'll like it.
Great UI.Touch screen
Hello everyone,
I just bought a Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am in the process of rooting it. Im kinda freaking out because things really arent going that well for me. So far what I've done is root and unlock bootloader. Here is where the problem starts. When I try to reboot into CWM recovery it just boots me into the normal android recovery. Is this normal? every video I have watched shows people manually rebooting straight into CWM. The only way I can get it to work is if I go into EZ recovery and press "Flash" then "Reboot Into Recovery" buttons.
My second area of confusion is regarding the IMEI backup. Is this something everyone does when flashing roms on this phone? I am very confused as to what I'm supposed to do. Do I use the adb or download a terminal app from the play store? If someone could clarify that would be great !
Sorry if these questions are pathetic but this is my first time doing this and it's a learning experience I geuss. Here are the links to the guides I used for what I have done so far.

I recently saw someone have a problem getting custom recovery persist, and another member pointed out a step you needed to do to get it to stick. I'll see if I can locate that post and add it to this post.
As far as IMEI goes, you only need to back it up once, and then you are good to go. Perform step a followed by step b in the backup thread.

Alright thanks, so for most people once they flash it once it should stay every time they reboot into recovery? I have probably the noobiest question of all time, what does flashing CWM recovery even do? is it like flashing a rom where it just gets baked in to the OS permanently? Or does it actually provide a backup of data because I thought thats what nandroids were for.
Havent found exactly what I was recalling as far as the recovery problem, but I found something in a thread below this that makes me think maybe your bootloader wasnt unlocked properly. What version (if any) of ez recovery did you use?
Also, flashing CWM (ideally, at least) replaces the stock recovery with the clockworkmod recovery. Then, when you boot into CWM, that is where you make a backup (nandroid) of your current ROM. Once you have backups made you can quickly switch between ROMs by restoring the nandroids.
I hope I understood your question correctly and also answered it properly.

Yes you did, thank you so much. In the tutorial I used it was saying that the newer versions of EZ unlock were having problems so I downloaded version 1.2. How do I proceed if my bootloader was unlocked improperly? Also, I went in to EZ recovery and flashed CWM and made a nandroid backup if this matters.
Thanks so much for your help.
If you used version 1.2 then my point was moot. So you can only get into CWM if you install CWM from ez recovery and then hit reboot into recovery? If you do the hold vol up + home button while powering on it always takes you to stock recovery?
Yep its very weird. Not sure what to do.
Someone else will likely be able to chime in on how to correct this, unfortunately (or fortunately? lol) it hasnt happened to me so I havent had to deal with it. Its not a huge deal so I wouldnt worry about it.
Personally I use TWRP recovery. You can try that and see if it will stick, you can always go back to CWM later. Try it in ez recovery, or Goo manager from the play store (I use goo manager). If you want to try installing it from goo manager, install the app, hit menu, then select install open recovery script.
K cool. So would it hurt me if I just used ez recovery to flash and reboot everytime I need to get into CWM? Also for goo manager does that install the one you were talking about or CWM?

Goo manager is only for TWRP recovery. And as long as the backups are being stored and you can access them the next time you get into CWM, it doesnt matter. Like I said, hopefully someone will be able to tell you how to correct this issue and we will both learn a thing or two from it.
Did you follow Step 12 in Section 2 in the first link you posted?
You have to make sure to go to CWM v6.0.1 in the drop down and install that version of Clockwork Mod Recovery.
I'm not sure if that's the cause of your issue, but you may want to check into that
Yep i did that

Hello, I'm needing a bit of advice on what to do when switching from my current recovry, TWRP, to ClockWorkMod. I do realize that some say it was never ported over right to the One X, but I'm needing to use it to test a theme for a dev that uses Universal Flasher. I'm pretty sure I can just go into the CWM app and click "Install CWM" but I'd like to make sure I don't corrupt my recovery If anyone could help me that'd be great!
*Edit* Whoops, I didn't realize that the One X was not officially supported. So seeing that, could I just flash the CWM recovery.zip in TWRP and then again once I'm in CWM to make sure it sticks?
The theme is here if you'd like to take a look- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843805

Yes, but could you please elaborate on that? I understand people think it was never properly ported to our phone, but I'm needing to use it to test a theme for a dev. The only reason I'm wanting to use CWM is that his theme uses Universal Flasher, which isn't supported by TWRP.

sure you can overwrite twrp by flashing cwm, but why would that theme only be flashable through universal flasher ??
if you're gonna go to cwm better make a nand backup and a full backup of your sd and pull all of it onto your computer. CWM on hox has some unpredictable reactions.
Here's your answer : you don't want to ..If u want I will laugh when u accidently f up and sd card gets wiped and u can't mount and have to reflash twrp

I actually found in the CWM forum for the One X that one guy who has an AT&T version of the One X, like me, tried using CWM and erased EVERYTHING on the phone rendering it useless. I'm really hesitant with this now. I'll contact the dev and see if he can somehow make it work on TWRP (doubt it, but it's worth a shot)
And the international cwm is mot for us that's for endeavor you'd have to dig up a old thread somewhere in this forum ..but don't install the one from Rom manager

let me repeat what i said earlier: if you cannot be talked out of it. just make a nand backup and a full sd backup and pull it on your computer, that way if something happens you can just restore everything, just seems like a lot of work to test a theme, must be some THEME
I pm'd the dev of that theme he said flash cwm to flash theme then just flash back twrp. Im about to do it soon to flash the theme. Id backup sdcard first though.
I fragged up Android by applying an update, so I can't boot into Android.
I can get into CWM, but it doesn't see my backup... The backup is in /clockwordmod/backup/2013-03-17-14.09.00 . I can see it when I put my SD card in the PC.
However, CWM isn't finding it when it's in the device, and there's no option to direct CWM to where it is....
Solution anyone?
Bump....

Hi there!
What I can think of is first of all save your CWM backup to your PC.
Then you'd really have to flash a ROM to at least a version that will enable you to use the version of your backup: say if the ROM requirement that you had installed when you made the backup was 4.0.4 then install any ROM of that. You won't have to install any apps then.
You can then install X-parts from Google Play and with that CWM but that will not be a "stuck-on" CWM as any ROM upgrade will remove it BUT the beauty of it is that in your backup [which you'll then copy from your PC to the same folder you describe above make a Restore] you have the CWM that will stick and from there on won't have to worry.
Sounds like a bit of work but personally I don´t see a way around it...this is what I would do to get things as before.
Hope this works for you and do let me know.
Oh and don't forget to click THANKS.

Yea, what I ended up doing was installing a stock ROM, then installing Rom Manager. From ROM manager the backup installs no problem... But if booting directly to recovery, it can't find it, even though it's in the standard spot... It seems halfway pointless to me to have a backup that can't be restored from recovery... but who am I to judge :silly:

Okay... I think I found what the problem was. From within CWM App, I changed storage to external as opposed to internal, now the backups are found from recovery. Not 100% sure that's what the issue was, because I've wiped and installed a couple different ROMs since having the issue.
