[GUIDE] How to get ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on your DHD

Hi! A lot of people ask for a guide to install ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on the Desire HD.
I'm not a pro, i make this guide to help people ! Some one can correct me if I'm wrong, i'm open !
Description:
This guide will help you to install CWM 3 on your Desire HD.
Warning:
CWM 3 doesn't support update-script (Amend), it requires update-binary and updater-script (Edify)
Not all mods use updater-script, test and if that don't work, try this this usefull tool that make the conversion betwen Amend and Edify: amend2edify
If some one want, i can explain the use of this tool
Before Flashing:
You need adb and fastboot to perform this install !
You can download it here:
http://www.multiupload.com/QACREBQOWO
You also have to download the CWM 3 .IMG here:
http://www.multiupload.com/80H7K8IXG4
Let's GO !:
1) Extract the content of adb_fasboot.rar in a folder named "adb_fastboot" at the root of your disk (ex: "C:\adb_fastboot")
2) copy the .IMG of CWM 3 into the same folder of the step 1 (ex: "C:\adb_fastboot\ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img")
3) Connect your phone by USB in (Charge only mode
4) Open a command prompt: Windows key + R and type "cmd" and valid by OK
5) Go into your adb_fastboot folder with this command:
Code:
cd C:\adb_fastboot
If your folder disk is not c:\ replace "C" by the correct letter !
If your folder is not named adb_fastboot, repalce "adb_fastboot" by your folder name !
6) Reboot your phone in bootloader with this command:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
7) Flash the recovery with this command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img
8) Reboot your phone:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Well done !
You have successfully flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on your Desire HD

I installed CWM 3 earlier but I just went back to 2.5.1.3 using ROM Manager as I couldn't be bothered updating mods to work with CWM 3. No problems to report

how to change color font ?
dark green or dark blue mayby white?
I do not like ... brown

LOL sorry.. U can't.. it's only recovery, you don't use it that often to really be bothered about .. and it's orange, not brown

hi there ...
ppl how try the new cw 3 ... what is the point to move from 2.1.5 to 3.0.05 ..
anyone can repot the advantige and disadvan...???

You need to upgrade to use gingerbread 2.3. Cwmod 3 uses a ext4 partition and 2... series uses an ext3 partition.

Just boot into recovery and check it.
Is the charging bug still present in 3.x version?

Is it possible to do a restore with cwm3?
Every time I try to make a restore from a cwm7 backup
Cwm shows a MD5 error.

Thank you for the replies!

what version of 4ext recovery do you have? install the latest 1.0.0.6 rc3

I also had that problem at first but after updating that $ext recovery touch to the latest version, it worked like magic.

Thanks for the reply!
But how can I install new recovery tool without turning my phone on?
I don't know the method, could you share me a link to the tutorial?

You might want to install "4EXT Recovery Updater" app. It's free and maybe easier to use than flashing it via pc.
You should always check the OP, they usually state if there is a brand new version of recovery required to flash that rom.

Red my thread. Ensure fastboot is set up correctly and test if fastboot can see your device please. We cant really troubleshoot unless you do this.
If fastboot CAN see your device, flash the images separately (manually)
eg
flash system, then flash cache, etc

go read what rootsu told you to read now or you wont get anymore assistance.

I tired that.
I actually even tried restarting the bootloader after flashing every component.
Seems this fastboot has some issues with android m.
Can anyone who has flashed it provide some input.

I had the same problem. Not just with android M, other Google OEM Roms. I was only able to get it to work by doing it on my Mac. I would think that Linux would have no problem either.

I had no issues flashing M through fastboot - even used flash-all.sh.

I couldn't get M to boot until I individually erased each part using fastboot, and then individually flashed each part, extracted from Google's zip, also using fastboot.

I can't get it to work on my Mac! I keep getting the data length too large error when trying to flash system.mg. Everywhere I've looked has said update the sdk, but I'm on the latest version.

You need to pass the '-s' argument to fastboot to be able to flash system.

Redownload the file could be corrupt. Only other thing try using mfastboot(google it)

[Solved] Accidentally Wiped OS From Smartphone

Hello.
I was trying to do a factory reset when I accidentally wiped the os from 'my' phone.
I still can access to bootloader and I have TWRP installed.
I have no backups and no experience in the field.
How can I have 'my' phone back on track again?
Thank you very much.
