Removing Clockworkmod

[Guest tandeh]

Erm... How do you get a clockwork/nandroid backup of a stock recovery partition without flashing clockwork/nandroid to the recovery partition? Sounds like you're trying to lift yourself off the ground with your own boot laces :)

so what's my option i have one of the first orange Uk san frans, i think 05 rom?

Haha :) That's a damn good point.

You could get an nandroid backup and then replace the recovery.img with stock version. Or, not worry about it, they aren't likely to check the recovery partition anyway.

how do i do that, and what is these image are they for orange UK, i know they might not check, but because by pphone smells of bruning at the USb, they might start getting fidgety and picky, i don't want to risk them striking my warranty off for modding the rom.

also how do i flash these a small guide would be welcome.

Thanx for now and in advanced

Yes, but that won't get rid of clockwork on the recovery partition.

Well, it will if that Stock ROM zip of Sebastian's is one that has recovery image in it. Like I said in the original post... Just open the zip you download to check first.

OK, I didn't realise any of the stock ROMs had a recovery image in it. Assuming it doesn't, can you just take a recovery.img (from my link above) and stick in the root of the ROM?

Yes, you can flash the recovery.img to the recovery partition.

That's what I did, and that power-on-down booted to FTM instead of clockwork

No, unless you know what you're doing, because the update script(s) will also need to be changed to actually do the flashing bit.

so any chance of someone making a noob freindly way to flash stock rom and remove clockwork, especially as i dont have USB access (its the reason for sending the blade back), i am a bit confused, there should be a way to go back to original if we all wnat to preserve warranty.

Easiest way I did it (and how I got mine rooted and upgraded to Froyo less than 10 minutes after leaving the shop) is to:

Download boot.img, recovery.img to the root of the SD card using a reader, emailing them to yourself etc.

Root the phone by downloading universal root (or similar?) from the market

Download a terminal emulator and carry out the following:

su

flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

reboot recovery

This should reboot you into recovery mode, and let you use clockwork to flash a new rom, or take a backup of the old one.

I think that's the whole point of Sebastian's new setup of his ROMs with recovery images in them. I'm not going to say they are all now setup like that, and I'm not going to download them all to check (especially after the recent grief he's been getting from his provider), but if you download the specific one for your phone [most likely, the latest Orange one] then all you need to do is open the zip and see if there's a recovery.img in there. If there is, then flashing that zip using ClockworkMod will revert your phone fully to its out-of-the-box state.

[Guest tandeh]

i can already go into clockwork through the quick reboot app, but i wanted to clear up that if i used sebastian's ROM, will it get rid of clockwork and Super User,?

also the method mentioned by Swimmerboy: does it get rid of clockwork through the telnet emu flash sequence?

Hi, I have an Orange San Francisco which I have rooted and loaded a custom rom using Clockworkmod.

However, I have a problem with the phone which means I want to return it to the place of purchase and get it swapped so I need to remove all the custom stuff.

I have already re-loaded the stock Orange firmware and erased the data & cache. However, how do I remove the Clockworkmod and the bootloader so that the phone is back to it's original state.

Thanks for any help

humm not a good idea to use the ftm mode if you don't know what you are doing

what is your phone version ? (android 2.1 or 2.2 ?)

which version of clockworkmod have you installed ?

its quite easy to flash FTM just take it out of a stock rom (pinned topic) and flash it.

but as you sed you failed to use clockwork. i agree with phoenix silver. you should not be playing around with FTM if you can't work out how to use clockwork.

anyways, why would you want the 2.2 release? its what the newer 2.2 roms are based on (eg SS RSL5) but they are better. i would advise learning how to use clockwork and flashing something like sweedish spring.
