Key Features:
  • Ability to save custom recovery settings
  • Default partitions to back up
  • Default zip folder location
  • Default color theme (lots to choose from) (Thanks to ffolkes!)
  • Default Time Zone (for more accurate time stamps)
  • Zip Signature Verification
  • Zip md5 Verification (looks for file with zipname.zip.md5)
  • Ability to flash multiple zips in one go
  • Ability to select which individual partitions to backup, and restore.
  • Ability to choose compression or no compression backups.
  • Compression takes longer of course, but you save roughly half the space. EVO3D's stock system uncompressed is ~800mb, 380mb compressed. You choose.
  • Ability to auto restore GAPPS on zip flash (for CM based ROMS)
  • Ability to auto reboot after successful flashes (for the lazy)
  • Some devices utilize their capacitive buttons in recovery.
  • Home - Main Menu
  • Menu - Advanced Menu
  • Back - Up a Menu Level
  • Search - Select Current Selection
  • Battery Level and Timestamp (Better safe than sorry)

What's new in 2.6.0.0:
  • Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
  • Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
  • Updated exFAT to latest commits
  • Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
  • Update SuperSU binary
  • Fixed saving of backup partitions list
  • Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
  • Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
  • Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
  • Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
  • Various other bug fixes and tweaks
  • Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, some of the changes in 2.6.0.0 will likely not be visible with your custom theme.

What's new in 2.5.0.0:
  • Added scrollable partition lists for mount, backup, restore, wipe, and storage selection
  • Add new SliderValue GUI element for selecting brightness and screen timeout (thanks to Tassadar)
  • Re-work AOSP and TWRP code to improve license compatibility between GPL and Apache
  • Added official theme for 1080x1920 portrait devices (HTC DNA, HTC Butterfly, Oppo Find 5, Sony Xperia Z, etc)
  • Fixed a problem with directory permissions on split archive backups
  • Fixed a problem with md5 verification of backups
  • Added a search function to libtar (thanks to kokotas)
  • Improve handling of XML errors (fix permissions)
  • Fixed handling of subpartitions
  • Improvements to recovery.fstab flags
  • Fixed a problem with decryption not being able to locate the decryption key in some situations
  • Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, the changes in 2.5.0.0 will likely not be compatible with your theme.

What's new in 2.4.3.0:
  • Fixed 2 bugs related to restore, one dealing with mknod failures (by bigbiff) and one dealing with restoring hardlinks (by Dees_Troy)
  • NOTE: If your backups weren't restoring correctly in earlier 2.4.x versions they should restore correctly now. Hopefully you didn't delete those backups. If you're still having problems, run the restore, go to advanced and copy log, then give us the log. Complaints without logs will be rightfully ignored.
  • Added a scroll bar to file selectors and listboxes courtesy of Tassadar
  • Added libblkid for more accurate detection of file systems and can now detect exFAT properly thanks to bigbiff
  • Added a screen dim effect 2 seconds before screen off on some devices
  • Finally fixed file selector crash (one of the joys of working with multi-threaded software)
  • Fixed loading of screen timeout setting during startup
  • Improvements and bugfixes to screen timeout code
  • Fixed persistence of the 24 hour / military time setting

HTC Dumlock Instructions:
  1. Install the build of TWRP using your method of choice, but you must actually flash TWRP to recovery. No fastboot booting it. We need it in recovery so that this build of TWRP will be flashed to your boot. This new build of TWRP has features in it to easily restore your original boot.
  2. Reboot into recovery.
  3. Make a backup of your phone.
  4. Tap Advanced.
  5. Tap HTC Dumlock. (If you don't see HTC Dumlock then you need to remove any custom TWRP theme that you might be using.)
  6. Tap Install HTC Dumlock. This will install the app and binaries needed to make everything work nicely.
  7. Reboot your device.
  8. Find and open the HTC Dumlock app.
  9. If/when prompted, give the app root (SuperUser) permissions.
  10. Tap the Execute HTC Dumlock button.
  11. Wait patiently for a couple of minutes. It takes a little while.
  12. If your device doesn't reboot automatically, reboot it manually. Reboot it normally. DO NOT reboot it to recovery.
  13. You should now be in your recovery, but your recovery is flashed into boot.
  14. Tap Advanced.
  15. Tap HTC Dumlock.
  16. Tap Restore Original Boot.
  17. Use your recovery like normal. Flash a new kernel. Restore a backup with a different kernel. Do whatever you please!
  • Consider donating!
  • Note, you must repeat steps 8 through 17 EVERY TIME you need to flash boot.

Installation:
  • Unlock bootloader at http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
  • Turn phone completely off.
  • Boot into HBOOT then Fastboot
  • Erase cache from fastboot before flashing recovery. Use command "fastboot erase cache"
  • From fastboot. Use command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Downloads:

Superuser - http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip

The download link is missing the .img extension. Also, once I flashed the recovery and booted into it, the screen started looking crazy, like the recovery was trying to output the wrong resolution or sync rates. Looked crazy: http://db.tt/RIaIsti9

New build is up if anyone can test and make sure graphic works?

It's looking better, but the colors are off, and it's duplicated along the X axis. However, if I let the recovery sit long enough to turn off the screen, when it turns back on, it then looks correct (blue and not duplicated).

Forgot to mention that this recovery is able to mount /sdcard and see the contents of it, so hopefully that helps you to improve the clockwork recovery to match.

So this could flash zips without adb?

Another easy fix :p It's building CWM right now with the fixed internal sdcard fix then I'll build the fixed TWRP.

    Works good. I had a bunch of issues trying to boot any recovery earlier. But fastboot erase cache made it work. So its similar to the HTC One. Maybe put that in OP so you can avoid the questions.
