[UNLOCKED ONLY] CWM 5.5.0.4 For Photon/Electrify - Motorola Photon 4G

Everything seems to be working good except the small bug listed below. It is stock CWM and I haven't changed anything, just built it for our phones. Not sure what's up with the background as I haven't added anything?
Will flash CM9 without issues! I haven't had any flashing issues at all actually...
The .zip is CWM flashable, no fastboot needed. Enjoy!
Bugs-
Internal SD won't mount in usb storage mode.
(can still flash from internal)
Dropbox(Go easy)- http://db.tt/GvNBGK29
Mediafire- http://www.mediafire.com/?qzemoy3t86v761i
MD5- b819dcb34b48e97b3f9e2a7e6d665d0a

so im assuming this is the touch enabled version?
Flashed, its not the touch version. but everything looks to be in working order.

Only for cm7 and cm9?
or custom roms too?

Flashed jokercomplete, booted then flashed back to Initiative with no issues. The background image is nice. The menu disappears during flashing and the progress bar is hard to see (very thin and low contrast) which may make some people nervous.
I'll add it to the compendium and update the root-unlock-relock zip in the next day or so. Thanks yepitsme19.
Found a possible bug.Internal storage doesn't show up on windows computer when mounting "usb storage". Could somebody verify.

flashed on photon, works fine. I'll write if something is wrong.

Rom Manager lets you flash CMW

When you mount USB storage for access from Windows the internal SD is not mounting.

wait, so we use ROM manager to flash ROM from SD card and select CWM 5.5.0.4 correct? I'm getting an error that isn't allowing me to "unable to open file"

I would just reboot to recovery and flash that way. I have always had issues using ROM Manager to flash, on every phone I've had.

So if im coming from GingerBlur V4.5, how exactly would i do this? Would i open this up and click "Flash CWM recovery" and go from there? Im just curious if this will wipe my phone and reinstall Gingerblur (if i choose), or just another ROM i have stored, or do you have to get the ROMs from the app?
And are all ROMs compatible? Or do they have to be compatible w/ this version of CWM? Sorry for the newb questions...
have a probleme with this cwr....I can't mount sdcard-ext :S
Ext-sd card, I would think will be added some time soon.

I think the CWM it installs is for unlocked phones only. So you'd have to unlock your phone first, I believe, in order to flash ROM Manager's CWM.
As for installing all ROMs, it's CWM. So it should be able to install anything. After all, the ROMs are really just pre-boot install scripts, for the most part. The free version of ROM manager has the option to install zips from the internal SD only (as per comments in this thread). It also lists a subset of ROMs, but it looks like it throws an error right now.
cant fastboot flash recovery partition after Rom mngr recovery install
tried to flash back to tenfars recovery after flashing cwm thru rom manager..failed. should i reflash pudding and then try..? or...?
If you install recovery through ROM Manager, the full wipe option does not actually wipe anything. You can still do a wipe by utilizing the -w command via moto-fastboot then install via recovery.

[Recovery] CWM Recovery

If you are on honeycomb you are free to flash recovery via Rom manager.
If you are on gb I am working on a compatible recovery right now. Once I get it done you will be able to use the features in Rom manager but not flash recovery via Rom manager
confirmed working with Honeycomb htcdev unlocked hboot 1.14.

any hope on porting a touch based recovery? I think all tabs should have a touch based recovery since the lack of HW buttons
Guessing this still does not allow to use the internal memory for anything?

Updated OP
I just rooted my view last night.. I flashed recovery once, enough to put the SU file on SD card to root. But since then, I've tried to do a backup (through ROM manager) and the white HTC screen pops up and doesn't go away. So then I tried to do it manually through hboot and when I choose recovery it does the same thing .. what do you think might be the problem? I'm very new to this so I'm hoping it is something simple that I missed... Please help

Yeah just go into ROM manager, and at the bottom, where there are previous clockworks, just flast 5.8.2.0. This one works, backs up, and best of all, won't brick your prime if you flash ROMs.

It is not necessarily a recovery but a way to recover from most software bricks meaning that almost anything not hardware related can be fixed with it..... read up and decide for yourself... after you do that then install twrp

[Q] Questions about recovery

1. I was in rom manager earlier and noticed it says I have both CWM and TWRP installed. I remember installing project freegee w/CWM but not TWRP. Is this an error? If so, is it an issue?
2. I'm seeing something about CWMtouch or whatever. I just installed what came with freegee. I'm not quite sure how to use adb for the updater script. Is it necessary that I install this? Is freegee using a way outdated version?
Thanks in advance.

You need to upgrade to a new recovery. The one that came with free gee is broken, so any backups you made with it are no good. I personally use sk8's recoveries, but TWRP is good to go too.

I don't use rom manager, but I'm pretty certain you can only have one recovery. Also, the updater script isn't needed either.

[Q] Switching Recoveries.

I have a noob question. I unlocked/rooted my phone using the CASUAL method and it put twrp recovery on there. Is it possible to switch that to clockwork mod that I am more familiar with and if so, how do I do it?

Yes it is. Just use goomanager to update it TWRP to the latest. Also I guess you could just use ROM manager to install CWM, but as stated TWRP seems to be the best for the note

Yep, you can flash it with TWRP, just make sure you are running the latest version.
