ClockworkMod Recovery is great functionality to be added to an android phone. It can make your phone virtually brick-proof. Installing custom Roms & taking backups becomes a matter of clicks. But that’s not all. There is vista of different things you can do with it like partitioning your sd card, flashing a zip file etc. Previously we showed you how to install version 4, now its time for version 5.0.2.3. So without further ado, here we go.
Requirements:
Changelog:
- Faster
- Progress bar
- Better Backup
Method 1: (Fastboot)
- Extract the zip file to C:\
- Rename the downloaded recovery to “recovery5.img” (or whatever you like)
- Turn off your mobile. While holding the camera key, connect your device to your computer via USB and wait till you see ‘fastboot USB’ on the screen.
- Open command prompt & type the following command:.
fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery5.img
- Type:
fastboot-windows reboot
- Done!! Check the new recovery.
Method 2 (Flash_image method)
‘flash_image’ is a tool for Android devices that lets you rewrite your phone’s system partitions with partition image files and installing it to your device requires ADB.
- Open command prompt & execute following commands:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak (if it gives error message here, simply proceed to the next step)
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/your recovery name - Reboot recovery
The phone will reboot now.
Thanks to this thread for CWM 5, we have already covered the above 2 methods before in this article.

Hi, it seems I’m Unable to boot into Fastboot mode. Because after executing step 4 in Method 1 posted above, the command prompt shows ‘Waiting for Device’ & does not proceed further.
Also, I found out that my A70 does not boot into ‘Recovery Mode’ (Power On + Vol Down button) as well. It just shows android logo with “!” mark & hangs there.
What could be the problem?
Hey,
solved the problem.. sorry for trouble..
I had connected the phone’s USB Cable via a USB Hub (USB Extension). Then I just removed cable from hub & connected it to actual USB port at the backside of my cpu. It detected the device seamlessly.
Oh, & I forgot to say Thanks in the previous post. Thanks a lot!!
Now, able to boot into recovery also.. cheers!!
(For all those who r blank abt how to go in ‘Recovery mode’, Switch Off ur A70. Then, hold Vol Down button & press power on. Keep both pressed & now press CAMERA button. U’ll see recovery menu.
