Remove Clockworkmod?

[Guest mossywell]

I'm in the process of documenting how to go from O2 2.1 back to OEM (00) 1.6 4399. After much sweat, I'm almost there. But, I seem to have hit a stumbling block: I have 1.8.1.7-streak-clockworkrecovery recovery image installed and I can't get rid of it! (During the process of getting this far, I've removed it and replaced it with the stock 1.6 (21) many times, so why this is different, I have no idea.) I follow the process described here: http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...rboot-recovery/. Basically, all it does is install a recovery.img at fastboot using a batch file. Only this time, when I run the batch file (or adb manually), it says that the recovery write was successful but when I go into the recovery console, Clockworkmod is still there! Yes, I've done an erase of the recovery first and then installed the stock recovery.img, but Clockworkmod still pops up. Any ideas how I can get rid of it? (And for the theoreticians, why this has suddenly started to happen after dozens of successes.)

Maybe try formatting the partitions from within Clockwork and then attempt another erase of recovery and then flash it. That seemed to work for me.

No option to format recovery partition in clockworkmod, but I did boot and system and then re-ran the flash of recovery, boot and system anyway and Clockworkmod is still there.

I meant go into the partitions menu and format there, then launch fastboot and erase the recovery then flash the original.

Indeed. That's what I meant as well. :)

In the end, I put on clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 and then back to the non-clockworkmod recovery that I wanted, which worked. Weird!
