Cannot install custom recovery on official 2.2


Recommended Posts

I tried all available recoveries.

After installing it I boot to recovery and get stock recovery.

It seems official firmware somehow wipes it. So I cannot install Steve's build. What to do?

Need more details, what version are you running now, is the streak white?, how are you determining that the recovery isn't clockwork?

Yes thats right!

The recovery is overwritten at every boot! After fastboot flash you must reboot with "fastboot reboot"

Immediately after the screen goes blank you must press the volume buttons till the menu appear and then select option 2!

If you let the OS to boot it will restore the recovery partition!

My install of official 2.2 did not overwrite the recovery image. How did you install yours? Via the image files provided here or OTA? Also, how do you know you don't have clockwork recovery installed? What happens when you select the update from sd card option?
