I gotta quick question.
If I was to flash anything lets say thunder ROM in this recovery can I put it in a folder called like aaaaaa so that I don't have to scroll through every single folder to get to the bottom and find the .zip our does anything you want to flash have to be on the sdcard root?

you can press volume up and it will bring you to the bottom of the list
If I am running 1.2518.4 and stock VD firmware, is there a way to update CWMA without rooting my phone again? Thanks.
Update: Bah nevermind, a little root never hurt anyway

If this has been asked, feel free to call me a fool...but was just wondering if this recovery would fool rom manager into thinking clockworkmod was installed to let roms download. I know its incompatible but was thinking evil thoughts...i'll flash later today and find out, but was wondering if anybody knew already.
EDIT: Nope. Oh well, it was a thought.

Updating Virgin Mobile Xionia CWMA to .5?
Wondering if it is in the works, or even applicable?
Love your recovery, so would love to have the VM version be updated (if applicable).
Thanks for all your hard work.

After testing a restore with cwma of a backup taken with drellisdee's recovery, the main OS is restored, but their is some inconsistence.
CWMA uses .img files for all the portions of the backup:
.android_secure.img
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
nandroid.md5 (Which holds your md5 values for all images except for the .android_secure)
recovery.img
sd-ext.img
system.img
drellisdee's recovery uses .img files for most, but a couple .tar files:
.android_secure.tar
boot.img
cache.img
data.img
I forget if it makes an md5 file or not, pretty sure it does.
recovery.img
sd-ext.tar
system.img
Obviously, everything is interchangeable between the recoveries, except the sd-ext and .android_secure backups.
So drellisdee's can't restore the sd-ext or .android_secure backups of cwma, and vice versa.
That being said, each developers recovery is doing exactly what it was developed to do. Zefie, this is not me asking you do any work, just stating results of a test.

I did alot of work to hack in the ability to be compatible with both formats, what is this 'vise versa' you speak of ;P
im in root on cdm ans when i type this cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image i get no such file or directory any ideas?

if you are already on cwma you already have flash_image so just skip that step
Posted in the Virgin Mobile forum, but have yet to hear a response. Will you be updating your Virgin Mobile Xionia goodies to have a VM-native version of this .6 recovery? Thanks for letting us know.
I've tried twice and the flash doesn't seem to want to install over the original ThunderC 1.0 that I've had on there for a while now (since I originally put a custom recovery on a couple months ago). I made sure I put su into the adb shell and everything before i started, but when I go to the recovery it's still displaying RA-Thunderc-1.1.0-GNM
Here's what I put into my adb shell and what displayed:

You need to fix this problem first. There is no flash_image file on your /sdcard thus you just created a 0 length file for /system/bin/flash_image
flashed the recovery. Looking at V6 right now, only problem is, i'm looking at V6 in screen cast and not on my phone. Is there something that I am missing? I have the phone that came stock with VC and has the screen that isn't compatible with V9 (dark screen, buttons work)
I retract my statement, had to reboot into recovery a second time for it to show up on the screen.
