Root Clockwork 5.0.0.1

El Presidente · Aug 31, 2011

Just an FYI, but there is a new version of Clockwork Mod available in ROM Manager, version 5.0.0.1.

More info can be found here: New ClockworkMod Recovery (5.0.0.1) - 08/31/11 - xda-developers

One thing to note is that backups made in previous versions of clockwork won't be re-storable with 5.0.0.1. So as always, before you do ANYTHING with 5.0.0.1, MAKE A BACKUP.

I've installed, but I'm going to wait until it's been out for a while before flashing anything. See if there are any bugs etc (like this one).

Thanks for the heads up, I'm split as to wether or not I upgrade or keep 4EXT Recovery...

Major changes:
Backups now use tar over yaffs for everything except mtd partitions. Backups got way faster.
Backups now preserve the filesystem type at time of backup. Restores will restore the appropriate filesystem type at restore.

What happened to 4.x.x?

And yeah, I am definitely steering clear of this for a few weeks at least. As tempting as faster backups are, the recovery menu is one of he (few) files I want thoroughly bug tested before I put it on my phone

Not flashed anything, but just booted into recovery and it's now a lovely shade of Cyan.

I expect to fall in line with 4EXT as their colour scheme is the same and a lot of people like it. However can anyone tell me if ClockWork can now be themed to have various colours, like 4EXT?

El Presidente · Sep 1, 2011

It is a lot easier on the eye to be honest. It's also update again, 5.0.1.0 is the current version.

Is 4EXT worth a punt? Aside from the obvious, what does it have over CWM?

Other than the obvious not much. Just the ability to maintain EXT4 and the colour themes. I prefer the layout and UI of CWM but haven't seen the latest to see if koush has changed it.

Is this the version the is the cyan color and the menus are now centred?

if so its the version that installed automatically when i rooted for the first time

i have installed cyanogen mod 7 and Android Revolution HD done various backups and restores with no problems

Haggistech · Sep 2, 2011

yeah i was tright this is what i have

also just got a notification to upgrade to Version 5.0.1.0

this seemingly fixes the problem with not restoring secure?

so are all the backups i made with the old cwm not retorable now ive flashed 5.0.2.0?

El Presidente · Sep 6, 2011

By the looks of things, but if you need to restore an old backup, you can reflash an older version of CWM from within ROM Manager. Just select "All Clockwork Recoveries" select 3.0.2.6 and it will put 3.0.2.6 back on for you.

Haggistech · Sep 6, 2011

just udated to 5.0.2.0 on XDA

changelog

5.0.2.0

Fix for the bug where root is sometimes lost on rom restore

El Presidente · Sep 6, 2011

Thanks.

Would be handy if the older backups worked though.

Haggistech · Sep 6, 2011

i agree

El Presidente · Sep 6, 2011

Flashed a kernel a few mins ago, it seemed to take a little longer to boot into recovery, but other than that, I didn't notice any issues.

Backups are certainly much faster, I'd say it took about half the time it used to.

sorry to bump an old thread, but haven't done much messing with my phone of late - been a little busy with household issues! Have any of you been having issues with 5.0.2.0 or is the coast clear?

El Presidente · Oct 6, 2011

There were issues with restoring backups on 5.0.0.1 & 5.0.1.0, but 5.0.2.0 seems to have sorted both.

I've restored a backup with no probs, flashed multiple kernels and a theme. I've had no issues with anything; the coast appears clear.

What you thinking of doing?

D-U-R-X · Oct 6, 2011

Not a great deal... but I've had a message (when going in to ROM Manager) that there's a new version.

I think I may as well go for it... think I'm gonna have a bit of a play over the weekend!!!

glad i waited to update, i have 2 roms backed up using cwm 4.5.0.1. will 5.0.2.0 be able to restore them?

CDPlant · Oct 17, 2011

I'm a bit confused about CWM, I have made all my backups using 5.0.2.0. If I was to flash a newer version of CWM, how would I be able to restore all of the backups I have made? As it says above you can't restore backups that have used a different version

i must have read El Presidente's post wrong. thought they fixed that issue in cwm 5.0.2.0. in that case i won't be updating. I have backed up roms from previous versions. it took me a long time to setup each rom.

D-U-R-X · Oct 18, 2011

I think that, if you want to, you can re-flash older or experimetal versions of clockwork on your phone, so you'd be able to go back to an old backup if needed!

El Presidente · Oct 18, 2011

As D-U-R-X says, in ROM Manager, there is an option to Flash Previous versions of Clockwork. If you select the "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" (it's the very bottom option) you have the option to flash alternative versions of CWM. I think the version before 5.x.x.x was 3.0.2.6?

If you want to have your older backups usable, (it's a bit long winded), you could take a backup of your current setup in 5.0.2.0, flash the older version of CWM, restore your older backups, flash CWM 5.0.2.0 and backup the older backups again using the the updated clockwork?

If that's a bit of a pain, what I did was create a CWM 3.0.2.6 folder on my PC, moved my older backups to that and if I ever want to restore them again, I just reflash using the version of clockwork they were backed up with.

thanks for the info.

This seems like a very straightforward answer which I should probably know, but..

Once I have made a backup, if I was then to flash a different ROM (say i'm going from CM7 to RcMix) but after a while wanted to change back to CM7, could I just restore the backup I have and it would return to normal? Just curious and want to make sure of an answer in case I ever decide to change ROMs
