Root Any reson to upgrade from CWM 2.5.1.2?

[JoeSchmoe007]

I recently rooted my DInc and ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 is what was installed during the root process.

Is there any reason to upgrade to a higher version? I do not intend to flash third-party ROM-s.

No reason I can think of. I am trying to flash back to 2.5x ClockworkMod with no luck.

Why do you want to downgrade?

Why do you want to downgrade?

To flash a ROM that's not compatible with 3.0.0.5 and above. I got what I need now.

i would stay with 2.5.x.x until it no longer installs the roms you want.

tho if you go up to 3.0.0.8 some of the bugs seem to have been worked out. it will now install the older backups,and alot of the developers seem to be inclusing an 3.x download.

Did you get back to 2.5 with a flashable zip?

 

[scotty85]

There are no flashable zips that I know of. Just PB31IMG files that you install via hboot.

Would you be able to provide a link?

there have been alot of threads about this lately... info is accessible by clicking on the the lil tab above that says "search this forum" and try searching for,oh,maybe PB31IMG

but in a nutshell:
-go to Inc. Recoveries | doug piston
-download the 2.5.1.2 version
-make sure your sd card is formatted FAT 32
-rename the recovery file you downloaded "PB31IMG" and move it to the root of your sd card(if youre on a windows machine it will automatically add ".zip". if your not, the file must be named "PB31IMG.zip" exactly)
-power phone off.
-enter hboot by holding vol down while powering on.
-wait a couple seconds. the phone will find the PB31IMG file and ask you if you want to update. tell it yes.
-when its done,you have clockwork 2.5.1.2

ignore what rom manager says is your current recovery. it is confused delete the PB31IMG file from your sd card to avoid being asked to update every time you enter hboot.

I'm still rocking CWM 2.5.0.5

to install 2.5.1.2 I just install on older version of rom manager... I forget where I got it from but searching xda should allow you to find it... uninstall the new rom manger and install the older version and 2.5.1.2 will be the package that it installs via rom manager.. then you can update rom manger to 3.0.1.3 just live with the pop up every time that a new version is available...
I used 2.x.x CWM because the newer ones dont support 10pt multi touch and I need that! lol

I use the CWM modded by Chad0989 which enabled multi-touch on my Incredible. That way I can run HeyIt'sLou kernel #7 with 10 touch points.

Now, figuring out what to do with all those touchpoints, that's altogether another matter.

The link for the recovery is here.
