Rom Manager has a rom for the HTC Doubleshot too

I'd say Doubleshot is looking mighty good with official CWM recovery and CM7

I saw it and about sh+t myself. Today is great day for doubleshot community.

I am also very new to this. So what about the current Modaco CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9? It will still be there but it won't be used? Do we also access nandroid backups from ROM manager? (So in other words, will we only do everything with ROM manager from now on?)

ROM Manager is just a way to access CWM Recovery. If you flash the official CWM Recovery, it will overwrite Modaco's version.

Woot. No more charging issues. Thanks for the heads up.

BTW I can't choose any files in ROM manager to install the img file which I've downloaded already, so I can only download again through my phone..

It feels like my birthday...

I know rite? First, I figured out how to jungle with noc on LoL, and now this? Wins all around.

Installed new recovery through rom manager, to 5.0.2.7 and rebooted into recovery.
All seems well.
BUTTTTTTTT when i tried to do a backup of my current virtuous rom i get an error: "can't mount target path"
And then when testing the restore i get an error: "can't mount path /sdcard"
And when testing the wipe & format options, instead of the traditional Yes or No.... I now have like 10 No options and 1 Yes option.
Something seems bogus, ive reinstalled the recovery twice but same effect.
Anyone??
Whats happened to my recovery guys???

I went back to 4.0.0.9 and I can backup/restore again.
Something with the latest recovery doesn't allow my device to mount and see/work with my sd card..... any advice people?
Where can i get the img file so i can try to flash after a fastboot erase wype.... However i dont see how everyone else has it working and mine mashed.

What is TWRP Recovery?

I'm only familiar with ClockwordMod. I see on some ROM pages that you don't need to use the boot.img if you have TWRP recovery. What is it and where do I get it? Thanks.

It is team win recovery project . I believe you can be able to get online if you do a search . It is based on aosp recovery and has standard recovery options plus a few of their own options . Hope this helps and answers your questions. Just search team win recovery project and you can download from their site I believe.

What I really like about TWRP is that you could mount the sdcard; something you can't do with CWM.
Also some people reported that if your battery dies on you while on CWM, your phone might not charge at all and you will have a dead phone.

You can either
1- download the recovery.img and use fastboot to flash.
2- Easier just to use Goo Manager, Hit the menu button (or 3 dots) and choose
"Flash OpenRecovery"

CWM for some reason can not write to certain partitions, boot.img is one.
The boot.img is in the ROM and TWRP will flash it.
In case you want to use CWM, just extract the boot.img from the ROM file you download. Put it where fastboot can see it (usually where fastboot.exe is).
Run command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that is done boot into recovery and flash ROM

[Q] Getting Clockwork recovery with the .img

I want to flash clockwork recovery (or TWRP ) but the file I download is a .img. How do I flash that onto my phone? I've googled it and every damn websites says "now open the .tar file"... Am I doing something wrong? Can someone help?
Thanks!

Download EZ Recovery from the Play Store, scroll to recovery tab, tap custom and find the img, then flash that file.

Stock Recovery

Hi there!
I just flashed my recovery with the CWM recovery image, but I noticed that I need the Stock Recovery to install the OTA update; is there a place where I can download it?
Thnks in advance

Why do you need the ota anyways? You can restore using rsd lite.

There's file called "recovery_signed" inside zip archive of full RSD-aimed firmware. That is stock recovery which should be flashed as follows:
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed

[Q] Odin to flash .ZIP

Hi just a quick question it says in the instruction that I shouldn't use .zip file link to the instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659, how can I install this recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip?
Here is the link for the tut that I follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759541&highlight=how+to

You can only flash the zip in a custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery you need to install it with Odin. You'll need a .tar.md5 recovery file to flash in Odin.

The instruction says to use this version of recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip the only problem is that it is in .zip format, does this recovery has a version of .tar.md5? Or an alternative recovery file that I can install using Odin to install the kikat custom rom? Thanks for the reply and help.

Use this in odin ] This will install twrp custom recovery. Once installed then flash (install) your recovery zip in it.
The recovery.tar.zip needs to be extracted with 7-zip.
EDIT, I edit this post to remove the the dev host link. DO NOT use the dev host file. Use the.tar.zip
