[Recovery] ClockworkMod v2.5.1.8 / v3.0.0.5 (Updated 06.02.2011)

arco68 · Nov 28, 2010

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

06.02.2011 - Repack of 3.0.0.5 with advanced backup and wipe all function. Wipe all will completely format and erase all partitions.

Can you please tell me, in what way exactly is this Recovery better than Amon-RA?

arco68 · Nov 28, 2010

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?

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 asked a couple of weeks ago, but no answer.. I realy like clockworkmod and I'm afraid to change recovery.

Thanks. Good job!

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??

arco68 · Nov 29, 2010

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

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.

That doesn´t help!

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?

arco68 · Dec 9, 2010

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.

francians · Dec 10, 2010

clockworkmod 2.5.1.4 seems to be already out!

arco68 please could you take a look here: https://github.com/klutsh/android_bootable_recovery
or here: https://github.com/klutsh/psfreedom-kernels-patch
could you add psFreedom support?

edit: please fix also the font size for the tattoo screen

arco68 · Dec 10, 2010

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

arco68 · Dec 13, 2010

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

arco68 · Dec 13, 2010

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