[Q] Flashing old rom with and advance recovery - T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide

i tried to flash mt4gs lite rom with the Clockworkmod Recovery 5.5.0.4 and it failed (i **** my pants) why if the recovery is latest one the rom flash failed?

What exact steps did you take to flash? Are you leaving the rom zipped up, or did you unzip it? Did you check that the size of the rom that you downloaded matched the size it should be?

And what error was you givin? When I found the first ROM I ever built for the speedy I'm like oh yeah I'm gonna flash this bisch to see how far my work/ROM has came, so about 6 seconds into the flash it aborted because amend scripting was no longer supported and the new recovery will flash edify only. Now I'm not sure if you all had to make that transition or not but that's one cause of a recovery rejecting an older ROM

Yeah if it was a script error it wouldn't have even started the flash, try to transfer to your sdcard again and reflash

Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

Flashing through ROM Manager is what is known as a fake flash.. I need a hard flash.

I am using the terminal method. flash_image recovery recovery.img
that is the same method as I have used every other time.
I just flashed CMR 5.0.2.0 through ROM Manager last night. verified it just now using vol down + pwr and 5.0.2.0 is what came up. is my phone tricking me? or did fake flash get fixed/changed?
bumping this thread back up, every time i open RM it says there's a new version of CWM so i download it over wifi and it installs but never changes on screen. i just rebooted into recovery and its saying im using v5.0.2.0 but like the last post said is this thing tricking me and saying its really updated or what?
I gave up on Rom manager a long time ago. I have 4ext recovery now. But to throw my posts relevance in there, I just opened Rom manager and it says I have the latest version installed right now when the reality is quite distant from that.
Doesn't really answer your question... But Rom manager is definitely flawed....

[Q] Modified e3 Recovery

Hi there,
I own a Rogers Samsung Infuse. I rooted and flashed CM9 onto my phone yesterday. Long story short, had an issue with Google Apps, and ended up with a phone that would constantly boot to the CWM Recovery screen.
I was able to use ODIN3 to get my phone back to stock, but could not flash CM9 (or anything) with CWM as I was (and still am) getting the:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
I tried using this: Odin - Stock (100% or Root+3e), but the phone kept getting stuck at the Samsung screen.
I tried watching the modified e3 recovery video on youtube, but my recovery file is sitting in the root folder, and not in system/bin where it should be. I ignored the location of the file, replaced it with the modified e3 recovery file, but when I rebooted my phone, it's as if the changes didn't take place.
I've been digging (maybe not hard enough) for a solution to this problem. CM9 looked fantastic for the 5 minutes I had it on my phone.
What can I do now?
It sounds to me like you lost cwm recovery if you want to flash cm9 you need to flash the ics recovery file. Doesn't verify signature verification

Compatible...? You have to be on blue cwm to flash cm9 & aokp ....red cwm will not work...that's why you do a two flash...
My first attempt to get into CWM recovery after getting my phone back to stock and re-rooting put me into red recovery mode for reason. I ended up in blue recovery mode after trying to flash/reboot once? I completed the process in blue recovery to ensure it works, and it's been good since Monday. Only the Kernel Panic Upload Mode is giving me trouble...
I also got this problem
I also got this problem tell me please what can i do , i cant install any modes

You want the blue (ics) recovery to be able to flash an ics rom?

I can see Blue letters while starting the phone in recovery mode. I assume that is Blue CWM. Please correct if I am wrong. If that is Blue CWM, then I need the recovery file. Please help.
Thanks

Not necesarilly. The stock 3e recovery also has blue letters, but you should be able to tell them apart. It actually says 3e at the top and only has about 3 options to select.

Did you flash the rom in cwm after the first time you flashed the boot.img? If not then that is probably your issue.
For me I flashed boot flash rom in cwm and for good measure flashed the boot again.
I am going to try a new download of the rom I think that could be my issue.
Right ill basically start from as if i was to flash the rom from if i has a stock phone
1.Make sure phone is rooted and unlocked by Htc dev
2.Have a custom recovery flashed
3.Download the v2.0 and v2.1 of the rom and also the boot.img
4.Place v2.0 and v2.1 files into a folder on your sd card.
5.Now make a nandroid backup of your current rom you are using before you flash LeeDroids rom
6.Extract the boot.img so that you can run the command to flash the .img to your phone
7.Boot phone into bootloader then fastboot, connect phone to pc and it should say fastboot usb.
8.Run the boot.img file to which ever OS you are using (meaning windows, mac etc.)
9.Get back into the bootloader screen and get into recovery.
10. Format system, data and cache also wipe dalvik cache as well. It should be wiped by formatting system and data but only takes 2seconds to do it anyway. You will find it under advanced menu(In Clockworkmod)
11. Find the .zip of leedroids v2.0 and flash it
12.Reboot phone and finish the setup menu and just let the phone settle for a minute or two after you finished it
13. Boot phone into bootloader and then fastboot. Run the boot.img again just to be sure.
14.Boot into recovery and flash v2.1 and then reboot and enjoy.
Now set phone up the way you want
This is the method i have used seems long but only takes 10minutes once you have all the files. I have done this 4 times using this method
I will try this method later so what's the v6.4?

TWRP to CWM touch

I have a quick question. If I want to go from TWRP 2.2.0 to CWM Touch is it as simple as flashing the CWM Touch zip in TWRP? I'm a little worried about flashing it within TWRP and bricking my phone. Coming from CWM touch to TWRP I simply downloaded GooManager and installed it within the app but going back to Touch seems trickier.

I tried to flash Liquid Pre RC1 and got an error. I think you have to use CWM Touch to get it to flash and figured I'd go back to CWM. TWRP has been great but I feel like most all Roms work in CWM Touch but not all work in TWRP.
I've been trying to find a more stable JB rom from CM10 Alpha 3 and heard Liquid was pretty strong. Just tired of all the lockups and not ready to go back down to CM9 yet.

I've found it's the exact opposite. TWRP and CWM Touch are slightly different in how they work; you sure you're not hitting the wrong button by mistake?
Not sure what happened but I tried flashing it once and it failed. Re downloaded the zip and tried a second time with the same error. The MD5 checked out and everything. I've flashed many times with TWRP with no issue so I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone confirm that Liquid flashes successfully in TWRP? Not counting out user error but I've never had an issue flashing anything.

Probably a stupid question, but have you tried re-downloading Liquid? MD5 checks don't always reveal all flaws.
