UPDATE: New Clockwork Recovery (5.0) HAS BEEN released.


Open ROM Manager and Flash Clockwork Recovery option will show 5.0.0.9 available....

CWR was updated to 5.0.0.9 (from original 5.0.0.8 release) to fix a couple of things (error accessing recovery logs).

Flash CW Recovery in ROM Manager (Flash Clockwork Recovery option). Do the update from ROM Manager using that option, don't boot into CWR to do the flash. After you see the download complete message it's done and will stay on 5.0.0.9 after reboot.

Interesting...flashed it in ROM Manager, but it just said "downloaded successfully" and didn't show flash progress, and boot into recovery from ROM Manager and from power button still takes me to 2.5.0.8 recovery.

See my update above in the OP...you have to flash it from CWR directly, apparently...that's how I got it to work, following Jcatt's example...

What's the advantage of 5.x over 2.5?

I'm prety sure I did it correctly because when I was finished, the text in the main recovery menu was blue and it said version 5.whatever.

Does anyone know what has changed with this version of clockworkmod recovery?

I dl'd it from rom manager, but it didn't actually flash. So I rebooted to cwr and it was 2.5. So I did install from zip and navigated into the downloads folder in clockwork flashed the zip and the recovery stuck.

I am now on version 5.0.0.8
