Clockwork mod 3 ok?

---

ROM Manager says there's an update to Clockwork Mod. 3.0.0.x, is it safe to apply? Running CM7 rc2 right now.

Why wouldn't it be? And yes it's ok I've been using it since release with no problems.

Yeah it is safe to apply. I've been using it for quite a while.

I've tried to run with clockwork 3.x twice now, and both times my SD card (ext partition) got screwed up to the point that it couldn't mount. The only way I could recover was to reformat the entire card.

I don't know if it was clockwork 3.x, or user error, or just coincidence, but I've never had this problem at other times...

The web is full of similar examples, so until I know for sure, I refuse to use 3.x (I'm a clockwork fan, and use 2.5.1.4).

Ive had some annoying issues with version 3 also. Never a problem in 2.x

I use RA when I have issues. 3 seems to integrate the GUI but causes problems while actually in recovery mode... I was wondering if I was the only one. I'm definitely a Clockwork fan.

Clockworkmod 3 has problems with sd card, in particular if you are using DT apps2sd.
In my case, it didn't restore to the sd card properly.
I reverted to clockwork 2.5.1.1 and was able to replay my backup. For now, I am staying with 2.5.

yeah cwm 3 has given me nothing but grief. refuses to flash roms, wiping sd card completely, left me in a sticky situation the other day as i had nothing to read my sd card, and have been stuck in the same situation again right now, switching to RA recovery from now on. nothing but grief.

however, glad to see im not just losing my mind and im not the only one experiencing things like this

general consensus is that it is safe some people though like me had issues with it. It wouldnt restore my backups correctly and would freeze in the process. Bc of this i stuck with version 2.5x

I had the same issue with CWM3 totally screwing up my ext3 partition, to top it all off I couldn't access any of my previous backups and wound up having to totally format the SD card complete, repartition and start from scratch with a backup on my PC that was several months old. VERY ANNOYING! Needless to say i now use AmonRA with ZERO issues and I will be pretty hard pressed to go back after that little fiasco...

I couldn't get CWM 3 to complete a backup...pretty essential, so I went back to 2. May try the update and see if it works.
