special thanks to bmw-boy for helping out with testing and risking his device for the sake of development!!! and NO, his device was NOT damaged during testing
ME for creating this for u guys!
[ Requirements ]
Bootloader unlocked
working fastboot
[ features ]
features derived from CWM5
ability to backup & restore to/from internal SDCARD
ability to flash custom update.zip from internal SDCARD
faster .TAR backups
my additions
changes to graphics (ported some graphics from CWM5.5 ICS edition)
revamped layout for recovery menu (to improve navigation) [renamed few options and changed their order]
changed "wipe data/factory reset" option to just "factory reset", and detailed the partitions which will be wiped
added reboot options
reboot into system
reboot into recovery
reboot into fastboot mode
some modification in "Partition SDCard" section:
put up a confirmation to warn the user that this option will wipe sdcard
added ability to select filesystem when creating new layout
add confirmation to "backup" option in Nandroid menu... it used to keep getting pressed by mistake and start making backups immediately... now it will ask u before starting backup
removed tons of "NO"s from some menus...
u can now flash to /boot /recovery & radio partitions
[ WARNING ]
THIS RECOVERY IS STILL IN TESTING... MAKE SURE THAT U HAVE UR COMPLETE DATA BACKED-UP (INCLUDING SDCARD DATA)...
and incase this doest work correctly make sure that u can restore to factory condition...
"Partition SDCard" option in CWM5 WILL WIPE UR EXTERNAL SDCARD!!!
we have tested this to work on the US version of HTC JetStream (but i think it will work on the Canadian version too)
[ how to flash this recovery ]
download the recovery image
reboot device into fastboot mode
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
now flash the recovery using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
[where filename.img is the name of the recovery image u downloaded]
thats it!

My bootloader is unlocked and device rooted, but when i try to flash recovery in fastboot , i get this:
sending 'Recovery' (4986 KB)... OKAY
writing 'Recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
Does anyone know what i did wrong?

fixed it by re rooting, maybe it didn't like that i did a factory reset between my rooting and attempt to flash recovery.
