Hi,

Dunno why, but whenever I try to apply the update.zip for 3.0.1.3 from cwm 2.5.0.7 it just reboots to 2.5.0.7 after the flash. 3.0.1.3 doesn't actually get booted. It wored before, but dunno why it just doesn't work anymore.

Does anyone what could have happened and anyways to fix it?

Your update.zip was overwritten with older one I guess. Just copy 3.0.1.3 again to your SD card.

So when I have this on SD root as update.zip and do fake flash method by booting into recovery etc it works fine, great.

Can I copy and rename it to recovery-update.zip and put it in clockworkmod folder in SD card to replace the one there? Will it work? Rom Manager says the 2.5.0.7 or whatever version is the latest, and that's the one it puts there, but is it ok if I replace that manually with this one?
Cheers

i`m not exaclly sure how but i placed this version on sd card everything worked perfect until a friend entered in rom manager and booted into recovery mode rebooting my phone into older version the one rom manager instaled, and the morron wiped my dalvik-cache and bricking the phone, in case someone decides to do that do know that nothing but factory reset will work,

Hi!

So, I download your file ( customized_cwm-3.0.1.3.zip ) and rename it to update.zip, take it to the root of the sd card. After all have I flash it in recovery? ( blue menu )
As I have done it, what will be the next step? Or am I wrong?

Next step for what? Flashing a ROM? Partitioning SD card? Nandroid backup?

first of all backup your sd card manually because partitioning will wipe your sd card
and for the settings, for what you want to use the ext partition?

hmmm
as i know its power + vol down and from there you should enter recovery to apply update.zip
correct me if i am wrong...

To get to recovery volume down + power on, choose recovery. While at the red triangle it's volume up + power. It may take some tries but you will get to a blue menu. Navigate and choose apply update.zip. Now you will get to an orange menu which is clockwork recovery

Hi Hitmax117, I'm looking to use the ext partition as a way of giving myself more room to properly install some of my apps, maybe 500 mb of space so that my big apps can go there and leave the phones internal memory alone.

    OK, here's the deal. This is my attempt in customizing CWM. It features several changes in comparison to one from CM source...

    Changes
    • removed menu entries for updating via /sdcard/update.zip (useless for fake-flash users)
    • stripped some "No" line entries from confirmation menus
    • removed some insane size values from partitioning list
    • added some sane size values to partitioning list
    • added option to add 2nd ext partition (for some data2sd variants)
    • added block alignment to partitioning part
    • added advanced backup submenu

    Plans
    • add block alignment to partitioning part
    • add advanced backup submenu
    • add some additional wipe options

    Issues
    • mounting /sdcard again after unmounting not possible

    Installation
    Just copy this file to root of your SD card and rename it to update.zip. You can also use previous non-customized version.

    Source
    Source for this project is available on GitHub.

    CAUTION! This is still in test phase. And your phone may explode suddenly if you're not careful enough. But in general it is pretty much safe (if you stand several feet from your phone). If you encounter any problems relevant logs are /tmp/recovery.log and /data/sdparted.log which I will need for debugging.

    does this file works even on s-off legend?
    Yes, but why would you do that???

    So you buy a Ferrari and put in the engine of Fiat 600? I don't get it :rolleyes:

    No, you have only to put the update.zip on SD-card and that´s it.
    Than you have CWM recovery in version 3.0.0.6...
