Default !!!!!!******Please Read Before You Flash Another Rom******!!!!!! Cw 3.0.0.6

Over the last few weeks many of you have had problems with boot looping roms and not being able to restore a nandroid. 9 times out of 10 the problem comes down to being cw 3.0.0.5.

Our Q & A forum has been flooded with questions about problems that could have been avoided if people would simply take a few minuets to update their recovery. This is NOT something that is mandatory, but please save yourself as well as the people that take the time to fix everyones problems a headache! There are two simple ways to flash the recovery listed below. Thank you all for adhering to this request, it will be appreciated!

Option94, Zinx and Koush have taken the time out of their lives to put this new recovery together for all of us. So please remember to thank them!


I have attached a copy of the recovery to this thread. For those of you who have the eng SPL (0.85.2007) place the file in your AndroidSDK\tools\ folder and the run this script from fastboot

Fastboot flash recovery c:\AndroidSDK\tools\recovery.img




If you don't have the eng spl or if you are unfamiliar with ADB you can use TrueBlue_Drew meathod below.

You can also try flashing this version from your recovery.

You can find the original cw 3.0.0.6 thread from option94 below

You're right that this gets asked a lot. It should be stickied!

You might want to add that you must have the engineering SPL (0.85.2007) to use the fastboot method. I can imagine people trying that and not being able to, and not knowing why.

Rom manager will only flash version 3.0.0.5. This is version 3.0.0.6. This is still the needed recovery for the 2 different file systems.

Yeah it has, and that's the whole point. Despite 3.0.0.6 being out for so long, people still aren't using it and have no idea why their ROM won't boot.
