thanks Doo Doo. thats a different recovery though... tryin to stay with CWM lol
Wrong forum but I'll tell ya anyway. For future reference, something like this should be in the Q&A forum.
Download touch recovery.
Put recovery.img in a PD98IMG.zip.
Make sure PD98IMG.zip is in root of sdcard.
Power off phone.
Hold volume down + power to boot into bootloader.
Allow bootloader to find image.
Volume up to install.
Reboot.
Or you can use ADB to flash recovery but someone else will have to tell ya how...or..
Umm...
Google it.

Yeah, I tried it just to see how it was (even buy it but for support of the dev), but 4ext is much better and that's why most of the guys round here doesn't even know that the CWM touch exists...As you say, since I have 4ext (wich came with CoreDroid) I not looking back...

You won't be able to flash the PD98IMG.zip with just the .img file in it. Look for the .txt file inside the Hack Kit (tools folder and recovery) and use it to make you own zip file. Then you will be able to flash it...
But, listen to Doo Doo, 4ext is way much better. I have actually tried both...but currently using the later.

Yeah I forgot about the .txt file...I'm so used to using the PD98IMG that I have...it already has all that in it.
Here's a link to a PD98IMG that he can use if he checks back. It has the .txt file in it.

+1 for 4EXT recovery
You can get it installed with no additional effort by trying Android Revolution HD from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964841
It will install 4EXT recovery automatically.
It has way more features than CWM, you're using the touchscreen, you can format all phone partitions to EXT4 (keeping the sdcard the way it is) then you can install any ROM you want (ICS, Cyanogen) and keep all the goodies.
I'm glad I did!
okay so i have a old android phone (1.6 donut) (rooted) Htc tattoo/click i want to install clockworkmod recovery and then flash cm7 with 2.3 gingerbread so i can overclock it and maybe i dont know i need a custom kernel?
so can anyone help me to get clockworkmod recovery to work?
Here you go. I'm not going to kill you over not searching, sometimes it can seem like a vast ocean of info and be overwhelming, but you can run a search for the tatoo/click forum and usually in ANY forum the rooting/flashing stuff is stickied to the development forum.
Just wanted to give you a heads up for easier searching next time, here's the link you need.

CWM is "ClockWorkMod recovery" it is a custom recovery. Download the ROM again and try again, it might be failing the MD5 check.
Check out that thread for the latest recovery version etc...

No, it means you are going to have to trial and error some things.
Flash this recovery, then try the ROM again.

THEN flash CM7 ROM, then full wipe + cache + Dalvik, then flash gapps, then restart. (just my personal preferred order)
edit: i would just flash it via adb
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
then just type adb reboot recovery and flash ROM

hi there, as the title says im in real deep trouble. To start off i rooted my phone which want a problem, but then i tried installing a rom which wasnt a problem either. The problem is i didn't know i had to install GAPPS so i wiped my phone and tried again. The stupid thing was that i completely wiped the whole phone i have no OS and my recovery doesn't work anymore. I cant access my phone through my computer as it tells me to format my phone. I cant even access recovery anymore my phone just goes in a cycle of rebooting. PLEASE I BEG YOU HELP ME ! X'(

Can you go into Bootloader/Fastboot? (Volume Down + Power)
EDIT: Read your other thread. You need to flash a stock recovery. You can do that via fastboot. Flash a stock recovery, format SD card, then flash a custom recovery again and you should be good to go.
Process of flashing any recovery is easy. Refer to the method in my signature, you just need to follow the RECOVERY FLASHING PART ONLY.
Other necessary info is also available.

No problem.
Fastboot drivers ok?
where did you get from and then put recovery.img?
also check name of the whateverRecovery.img file to be the same as "recovery.img"

Great. Now you have a stock recovery. Just format the SD Card from recovery and the SD should be good.
Afterwards, you can flash any custom recovery and mess around with flashing ROMs etc.

Download This. Open the zip file with 7-Zip or WinRAR, go to firmware.zip, extract recovery.img.
Then flash the recovery in the same way. This is the stock recovery and not TWRP.
I am assuming your phone to be S3 and updated to Jellybean already.

Hello mates!
I am currently editing ROM for HTC Desire 300. Now, there is already SuperSU,superuser app, but I am not very satisfacted with it. I am planing to change it to Superuser (Made by ChainsDD) and I need to know following:
Are those 2 apps using same binary ?
Can I simply replace SuperSU apk in system/apps/ with ChainsDD superuser app, or I must something additionally ?
Thanks !
I think they are different binaries

Install the new superuser will prompt you to delete the old one. BTW "SuperSU" is the very best superuser access tool ever made in my opinion

Means its not caused by S-ON. You just need a flashable zip of your superuser tool. But installing via play store is th easier choice i think.
