Mr. Ed -

I've thought numerous times about installing ClockworkMod Recovery on my Edge, but I keep deciding that I don't want to take the risk. Here's the reason why I'm skeptical:

1. ClockworkMod works by replacing the device's built-in recovery system with a new piece of software. From what I can tell, Entourage didn't design the Edge like a typical Android device. There is not any kind of bootloader or recovery mode. As such, I have questions about whether it would work, and it might mess up your ability to recover the device.

2. The update.zip files included are not "standard' ones. By that, I mean that I've tried to flash other update.zip files (like, for example, ones that contain gapps), and the process failed for some reason. Entourage has obviously monkeyed around with the "standard" procedure for flashing recovery files. Awhile ago, people talked about using the Ermine update to figure out how to create a Edge-specific update.zip, but we've never gotten around to actually giving it a shot.

For these reasons, I think trying to install ClockworkMod would be something to try out of sheer desperation. If you do install it, you might be able to use the "boot into recovery" option to install the Dingo update.zip. But I'm not entirely sure.
