Clockworkmod Recovery for the Extreme

[Whistler23]

This has turned in to Chinese not just Chinese whispers

Suggsy, when you were helping me a few weeks back I installed CWM via Rom Manager as well.

Google will keep all the devices you have ever had even if you hide them they are still there suggsy must have about 300 now
I recon FF must have put CWM on before you got it as I tried to say rom manager won't work on unsupported(by the clockworkmod team not playstore) devices

Wtf I'm missing something here
I remember that you could fool rommanager into instaling cwm by puting the file into the correct directory and renaming it as one of the supported ones but that has never been spoken of on this forum and I can't remember much about it

@ trashcooky what did you tell the app your phone(excel) was called as the excell would not be on there list of supported devices

Hi Mitre, just as a test I uninstalled ROM manager and then downloaded it from the Google play store again.
When I ran it and selected Flash ClockworkMod Recovery I get a dialogue box which states:

Confirm Phone Model
_______________

Scroll Excell

I did not have to select the name it was allready there without any list to select from, just asking for confirmation?

4!8.1.5 would sugest its reading device id from the build.prop so anyone who mods this could get a different option

In which case is seems likely that FF may allready have put CWM on for me.
Sorry if I have caused any confusion folks. I am still wearing my L plates
