do i have to make a backup of my current recovery? I can't just use clockwork 3 for the flashing of backups and other roms?

Can't you just reflash 2.5.1.2 through ROM Manager? Or does ROM Manager only do upgrades, not downgrades? I know there is an option in ROM Manager for all ClockworkMod Recoveries but I don't know exactly how that works

I tried but it didn't work so I'm stuck with CM7 lol but I love it anyways ;)

lol.. what are the exact steps to backing up the old recovery? thanks in advance.

Damn, I didn't even make a back up of the old recovery. :(

This should help. DO NOT unzip it. Just remove the zip extension & rename to recovery.img & flash with instructions on first post

This what I'm talking about. What if we want to go back to froyo. How can we first backup our stock recovery image. From what I've heard once you flash gb gingerbread recovery.img,. it will broke froyo some say rom manager cwr won't backup full stock image. So the question is how can we first backup our stock recovery image of we want to go back to froyo.

You should be able to through the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" option at the bottom of the page when you go into the program.

    Will need to know how to flash recovery through fastboot since you need to use clockwork 3.

    I've attached a working recovery. (the attached recovery has been updated to 3.0.0.1, shoud fix some mounting issues. )

    adb reboot bootloader

    $fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img


    If you 'd rather do it from the emulator follow http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10131596&postcount=361


    This is an alpha, so use at your own risk. And its definitely not official. So far no one has mentioned anything that doesn't work, but as usual, use at your own risk. Thatguy32404 and I are not responsible for anything that happens to your phone.

    You also need gapps for 2.3, http://koush.tandtgaming.com//google/gapps-gb.zip
    Alo, thanks to Grankin01, we now have a working gappps zip with the new market.

    Also, if you decide to go back to a froyo rom, you'll need to flash the old recovery. Its also attached. If you need help flashing the recovery,

    Confirmed usb mount working!!

    I have CM7 installed and I just got Windows to recognize the SDCARD via USB Mounting!!!!

    Now again I am using Windows 7 so the steps are almost exactly the same. I literally just changed the device to a USB Mass Storage device and it worked!

    Lol after trying so many drivers and it being the generic driver makes me angry. Here's what I did.

    1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.

    2. Go to Device Manager

    3. Find your My HTC (should be the second one Android USB Device), right click on it and select Update Driver Software

    4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software

    5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.

    6. Then choose USB Mass Storage Device

    Then it takes some time to think and viola! All working! However we are not DONE!

    EDIT: So the next step I did after experienced issues remounting after unplugging the phone. I have change the MTP to ADB Testing Interface and things seem to be mounting everytime. Rebooted phone and PC, both worked again so I think this may be a working solution.

    Now go to MTP.

    1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.

    2. Go to Device Manager

    3. Find your MTP (should be under Unknown Devices), right click on it and select Update Driver Software

    4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software

    5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.

    6. Then choose Google Inc. and the Driver is ADB Testing Interface.

    ENJOY!



    Should I start a new thread for this? If so do I post this in Android Development?

    So far all I can tell is wifi isn't working. Still testing everything else.

    GPS works.

    Wifi wirked after a reboot, not sure if that means its gonna continue working.

    Also, I cant get my computer to even recognize the phone through adb. Tried updating the drivers and still no luck.
