Hi, I have tried and tried to get CWM to put over my old version of CWM but it never works. I was wondering if you guys could pack this file into a .tar. Would installing the version I have on my computer right now by going to the old CWM menu then clicking install zip from sd card>install zip from internal sd card and then click the CWM file I have install CWM properly?

You cannot flash recovery, while being inside a recovery. Install zip from sd card will install over the system partition.
This is probably not what you want.
Use fastboot to flash your img file.
ROM Manager can also flash to recovery coz the recovery is not mounted when device is boot normally.

Mobile Odin is the only way I can flash 6.0.0.19, 5.5.0.4 works through Windows Odin though for me.
Just remember you should be flashing a recovery.img file

I am needing install a rom to my SD card...but can't simply move the file over to my phone at the moment I only have fastboot right now. Can I move a file over using fastboot and then use clockworkmod to flash it?
Use the "mount USB storage" in the CWM "mounts and storage" menu.
Why can't you move the file over? To use fastboot you need to be hooked to a computer anyways.
You could download rom file to your sdcard straight from the phone.

You can only flash img files via fastboot. I don't know if CM is released that way at all.
Is your phone even functional? I mean, you can boot to a regular rom, correct?

Hi There,
try using some other SD card and place the file in sd card. If still doesnt work then you can flash rom using Flashify or Mobile Odin.
Otherwise rename the rom file to update.zip an choose install update.zip in CWM.

I am facing a really weird problem.
Initially, my HTC Desire S was running CM10.1 ROM, with sdcard 32GB FAT32 formatted. Recovery was CWM 5.0.2.0. I saw CM 12.1 Lollipop ROM for HTC saga, and decided to try it out. Recovery was updated to TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, and installed successfully CM12.1 The phone was lagging, and decided to revert back to CM10.1.
The sdcard was not detected in CM10.1, neither when recovery was reverted back to CWM 5.0.2.0. I also tried recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-saga and recovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-saga, none could mount the sdcard. I tried other sdcards (16GB and 8GB), formatting them using SDFormatter, checking using MiniTool Partition to make sure it's not set to logical. None could be detected.
But when I put back TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial, all sdcards could be detected in recovery. I reinstalled CM12.1, it could also detect and use the sdcard.
It seems that installing recovery TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial and/or upgrading to 12.1. had caused sdcard to be undetectable by earlier version of recovery and OS.
How can I fix this, and have my phone running CM10.1 again, with sdcard detected?
Try flashing 4ext recovery see if thats able to mount anything.
Theres a thread by me in Desire S General and its 4ext recovery as PG88IMG. Just extract the zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot. (or just use the PG88IMG haha)

Nope, 4ext can't mount sdcard. It seems only TWRP-saga-2.8.5.2-unofficial recovery and CM12.1 can detect the sdcard.

Strange. U should ask the dev of twrp and or the rom dev to see if they know anything bout it.
Check ur sdcard for any recovery folder (twrp) and delete it then try flashing 4ext. There might be something in the folder f****** things up haha.

It happens also to newly formatted sdcards.
How do u format the sdcard? Coz if u format it using recovery then it doesnt delete the recovery folder. Anyway im out of ideas so best contact the dev see if they know why.

I'm on lollipop, can I use this? What should I backup using nandroid before using this?
Thanks
Installed this and now stuck in Clockwork recovery. Trying to side load a Rom as I have no backup or Rom on sdcard. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nevermind. Removed sdcard, put in another phone, copied a ROM, put it back and flashed it. Problem solved!
i use flashify to flash on Lollipop, does not work.
