Hello all.

I've compiled the latest ClockworkMod recovery for the Tattoo. In addition to the normal features it has, this is using a custom smaller font, so the text fits better on a QVGA screen.

If you're already rooted, you can flash it with "flash_image recovery recovery.img" (after running "su" first) from a terminal shell prompt, or from adb shell.

v2.5.1.8 is the last version included in CyanogenMod 6 sources
v3.0.0.5 is the new recovery from CyanogenMod 7 sources

They both do the same basic things. What I find better with ClockworkMod is:

  • Can turn off signature verification (faster to install roms, and can install unsigned zip files)
  • Can select zip files in subfolders
  • Individually select which NAND partition to restore
  • Can use joy button and back key to navigate
  • Smaller font (in this special version), so you get to see all text on screen on QVGA devices

Is possible to add Ps3 Jailbreaking?

Amazing recovery

Thank you very very much for this recovery. ROM Manager now works properly. BTW, where do I download ClockworkMod Recoveries for HTC Wildfire with my computer? I dont want to use my expensive 3G connection to download and want to use the school network.

Only available through ROM Manager as far as I know, unless someone compiled it and made it available over at the Wildfire forums.

ROM manager does not work with me although I´ve installed this recovery... It seems that the rom manager does not recognize it and it keeps asking me to download clockwork recovery again, and there is no Clockwork recovery for tattoo in that menu????
What seems to B the problem??

ClockworkMod recovery for the Tattoo isn't added to ROM Manager yet. Until now Tattoo owners had to use the Wildfire/Buzz recovery. I'll contact the author and ask if he can add this recovery for the Tattoo, so it's available from ROM Manager.

Downloading images

Only available through ROM Manager as far as I know, unless someone compiled it and made it available over at the Wildfire forums.

If I knew where the images were hosted, I could fetch them through PC.

Press menu button and select "manually installed clockworkmod" or similar option.

With clockworkmod recovery I cannot flash some roms which flashed fine with maverick recovery. The installation aborted with this error:
E:Board does not support mtd utils.E:Failure at line 420:
write_raw_image PACKAGE:boot.img BOOT:

The rom is actually flashed, and only boot.img not. So I can boot the rom after manually flash the boot.img.
Is there any way to include mtd utils future in this recovery, or must to return to maverick?

I think it's a bug in clockworkmod. They changed some detection routines in the latest versions, which seems to have broken flashing to mtd when rom is using update-script instead of updater-script. I've heard that 2.5.0.9 is the latest which it worked correctly with. I'll look into it at some point unless they release a new version which fixes it.

Ran into some problems with the psfreedom recovery. Patching the kernel and compiling the recovery wasn't a problem, but mounting usb mass storage doesn't work. As far as I can see, there seems to be some bits missing in one of the files for the kernel patch for the Tattoo. I could have used the code from one of the other phones kernel patches, but unfortunately the kernel for the Tattoo is just too different from the other ones, that it can't be easily done. Dunno who the hell coded the board sources for the Tattoo, but I suspect he got fired or something, because sources for all other phones after the Tattoo are much more organized and similar to each other.

I think is very hard find what's missing to make it works.. can you do it?
I know you are workin' also on a wonderful rom, but also psfreedom is a nice project that need a skilled man :)

    I suppose it can be done, so I'll take a look. Thanks for the links.

    There's no "Power Off" option?
    Nope. I've been missing it too sometimes, actually.

    You would need to ask the ClockworkMod author for that feature I'm afraid, but I doubt he well add it. Take a look here though.

    I see the kernel patches for the Tattoo is no longer there. When he adds a working patch I'll try again.
