Unlocked and Rooted. Having issues getting CWM to stick.
Thought it was odd done this a couple of times. First time I resoted stock recovery and it reverted. Well ok reflash with fastboot because it restored the recovery partition.
Was going to modify the framework.apk and went to
Flashed recovery by:
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-blue-photon1.3.img
moto-fastboot reboot.
Upon reboot accessed CWM recovery and did a backup.
Tried to push framework.apk and screwed it up somewhere so it bootlooped.
Battery pull select android recovery.... and back to stock recovery.
Had to reflash with fastboot and restore backup.
Any ideas why the recovery partition is reverting back to stock??
EDIT:
Thanks to mrinehart93 for pointing this out.
The system runs /system/etc/install-recovery.sh on boot with the stock rom. On boot it checks the recovery partition for some update and with CWM installed decides to reflash the stock recovery over it. Rename or delete the file and the CWM should stick.
i might be wrong but i think you have to flash a custom kernal for it to stick.

Same problem had to me. There is a file called "install-recovery.sh" in system/etc (I believe). Adb shell into the phone and delete that. Then reflash the recovery and it will stick.

That did it. We may want to have romracer add this to the notes on the CWM OP for others to see. I renamed mine and worked like a charm. Thanks.
how do I adb into the phone to fix this?

thanks for the solution, you guys rock! this was stressing me out for the longest time!
I am having the same problem as everyone else has here. I navigated to /system/etc/ with Astro File Manager and there is no file starting with "install" anywhere in that directory. Could it be somewhere else or hidden?
Flashed Light green 5.0.2.7-atrix5 ZIP version. Initially it couldn't boot and after a couple of attempts (without my input) it booted to the lockscreen but locked. Had to pull battery.
Managed to boot and get past the lockscreen and found the default live wallpaper ??.
I booted into recovery to find the new recovery had flashed.
At the moment it will boot but takes a long time and when it does boot it crashes every few minutes.
I didn't have the install.recovery.sh" @ /system/etc. file mentioned above.
Any ideas?

i'm stuck in a boot loop after updating my phone to the latest nightlie of cm7 (fascinatemtd 35.zip) and can't boot into recovery neither...what can i do?
1. Download Android SDK onto your PC, install on c: (root directory)
2. Connect phone to PC
3. Open command prompt on PC
4. Navigate (within command prompt) to c:\AndroidSDK\AndroidSDK-Windows\platform_tools\
5. Boot phone
6. While in bootloop, type "adb reboot recovery" in command prompt
7. Your phone should now be in the proper mtd recovery

Glad to hear its running again,I think that's why you got all those errors when in recovery because once your on cm7 , or any other Mtd build you can't use the three finger method anymore..if you run into problems again..it may be a pain in the ass but doing the eb01 and 2.2 pit repartition will always get back up and ready for a clean install if you really screw things up.

I don't have my computer now and want to update miui tonight. Is the steps of using this app
1. Select recovery image
2. Chose the new rom
3. Wipe dalvik and cache
4. Hit ok
Is there anything else that is needed to do? I can't afford to mess up my phone since I don't have my computer now. Any help would be very helpful. Thanks.

You dont need a PC if you are s-off.You are on hboot 1.50 I think
In another thread joeykrim (developer of Flash Image GUI) told that there should not be any problem untill a rom and kernel mismatches.
So i think you are good to go with that app.
But imo the steps are:
Run Flash img GUI
Choose kernel
then tap browse and selecet the zip file of miui rom
It should give a message to make sure it is a valid rom zip as the file size is much more.
Then tap flash image . the app will flash the boot.img from the romzip file.
Then it will ask to reboot.
But i think you should not reboot the phone as you are flashing a aosp kernel.
You should power off the phone.
Then boot into bootloader >Go to recovery > Then install the miui rom zip file from recovery.
Hope this helps......
Dont forget to thanks if I helped you.....

As far as I know, support was added for selecting the kernel image from the ROM zip itself. So select the image, wipe dalvik and cache, ok, reboot and flash the ROM.
So select kernel image in the app. Pick the miui and wipe dalvik and cache then hit yes and that's it? I'm alittle confused cause I don't want to f it up. Don't choose recovery image to do it choose kernel?

Yes exactly......choose kernel image in app not recovery.......then choose miui rom's zip file > then boot in bootloader > go to recovery > install zip from sd card > choose from sd card > then select the same zip that you have chosen in the app (miui rom.zip) . If you choose recoverey and then selct miui rom .zip you may really f it up

are you able to boot into bootloader? you need to uncheck fastboot from settings>power or you can turn off the phone and remove and reinsert the battery then hold volume down+power button.
If recovery is not working try to flash a zip file containg a workig recovery with flash image gui.

I downloaded the recovery from the website I got the app from and flashed it through the app and it said successful. When I boot into recovery the htc logo comes up and after a minute it just reboots. Do you have a better link for me for recovery?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The only Recovery that worked for me is in the attachment.
It contains the recovery that i use. Extract the file using any file explorer then you will have a cwm.img . I dont know if you can flash a .img file with Flash image GUI. And dont forget to select recovery image option in the app while flashing this.
I've been trying to get into recovery and It won't work. I followed all of your guys suggestions and still nothing. I downloaded the cwm file from the website and selected it and it said successful but when I try to restart and boot into recovery it stays on the htc screen for a second then vibrates and then just restarts. Anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong?

Different App related question:
I'm running CM7.1 right now. I would like you use my backed up version of MIUI that I backed up using TWRP. Can I boot into bootloader using FlashImage app and go into recovery and do it? Or do I still need to go into bootloader using a computer?
Many thanks.

Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Well if you're getting the bootloop then I'm guessing it's not possible. Because while it's rebooting, you're holding down right?
If so, then I guess that answers our question. It's not possible.
Need to go into bootloader the normal way using a computer.
So I'm assuming that this app is really only for flashing kernels. I tried that and it worked perfectly.

Hey thats not true.....I was on olymus ROM and i wanted to switch to infected ROM but i wasn not having PC but my recovery was working . I used Flash image GUI > kernel image> Selected the infected ROM> And it flashed the boot.img from infected ROM .zip
Then I rebooted in bootloader > selected recovery > install zip from sd card> and chose the same infected rom.zip......................and everything worked fine.
@arozer
If you want to restore your backed up MIUI then I think you will need to flash the boot.img from your backup 1st using flash image GUI. Then without rebooting phone , you have to boot into recovery then restore the backup.
@peecs121
I guess you will need a computer to get your recovery working using fastboot.
Maybe you should do that on your friends PC .
Then try the steps.
I will download the latest MIUI and will try to install it without a PC for you.

hey I downloaded the MIUI ROM and flashed it successfully without using PC.
For you I also tried Flashing different recovery through Flash Image GUI which also worked.
Here's what I did:
1.copied the " MIUI.us_shooter_1.12.2_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_scott951.zip "(97 mb size) and recovery.img to root of SD card
2.In Flash Image GUI , I selected recovery image option and flashed the recovery.img by using flash image button ( also checked wipe dalvik & wipe cache) Then it prompted to reboot and i tapped no
3.Then i selected kernel image in Flash Image GUI and Selected the "MIUI.us_shooter_1.12.2_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_scott951.zip" and flashed it aslo using flashimage button( also checked wipe dalvik & wipe cache)Then it prompted to reboot and i tapped no.
4.Then i switched off my phone manually.
5.Then i booted into bootloader by pressing volume down+power button..
6.selected Recovery and pressed power button and recovery booted successfully.
7.In wipe menu i selected wipe cache , wipe everything ,dalvik etc
8.Then pressed go back and selected flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe.zip
9.Then again flash zip from sd card and select Synergy_Format_Data_EXT4_Optimized.zip.
10.Then again flash image from sd card and select MIUI.us_shooter_1.12.2_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_scott951.zip.
11.Finally reboot the phone and voila!! got it to workwithout PC.
You could flash any other rom instead of MIUI.
And i wanna ask you have you even unlocked and rooted your phone?
Here are the files you will need:
The recovery.img is here http://www.mediafire.com/?n72emuv5a1c00sd

How do I boot into recovery without rebooting?
Also, in my back up of Miui in the Twrp folder, I don't have file called boot.img. i have boot.win and boot.win.md5
Would one of those be it?

Oops!! Sorry
I wanted to say that after flashing boot.img you should not "normal reboot" the phone.
You should power it off and boot in bootloader > recovery..
Sorry for the mistake
Which version of which recovery do you use.....???
The CWM 4.0.1.4 recovery by revolutionary (which i was using till today) made ".img's" in nandroid backup. I dont know about your recovery.
If you had not changed your kernel while you were using MIUI
You should do one thing:
1.Instead of searching boot.img in nandroid backup, just use the boot.img from the miui rom's zip file you downloaded and flash it via FLASH IMAGE GUI and follow the above steps by me from step 3 (if your recovery does not work, follow steps from no 1). You will be good to go.
Hi everybody,
here is my problem: I can not boot any kind of ROM or recovery image. CWM is working properly (it is an internal CWM). I have this issue since I tried to install the CM9 with 3.0.x kernel. I am pretty sure that this situation is all my fault, I mean, I do not think the nook has any kind of damage.
How can I fix it?
PS: I can easily flash the ROMs and the recovery images, but when I reboot the device, it just reboots in CWM.
PPS: I don't know if this can be useful: at the end of the flashing process it says "sd-ext.img not found. skipping restore of sd-ext".
Thanks

The message at end is normal. Did you create a backup using cwm prior to attempting to load new rom? Did you perform reset and clear cache post loading new rom? What were you running prior to this? This might help in determining what the issue is.

- Yes, I've created a backup before loading the new ROM but not using CWM (I've used rom manager).
- Yes, I performed wipe cache and data after loading the ROM.
- When everything was working fine I was on CM7 Alpha Final (the all-in-one-mod version).
Check if there is a backup file in SD/clockworkmod/backup. If so, try restoring backup through CWM. I've had the same problem flashing cm9 3.01 with CWM 5.0. The easiest way back was to restor a backup of previous mod.
Good luck

In addition, before you go flashing new kernels, you might want to try and just re-flash CWM. Not sure if it would work, but it's just a thought. You could boot into a CM7 SD ROM, then use @Indirect's Recovery Flasher App to re-flash CWM to see if you just had a bad recovery install. At any rate, good luck.
Ok. But I can't make fastboot works! When I open the program (that is a terminal window) I'm not able to type anything.

Is it possible to pull the logcat from last boot from CWM or download mode?
Reason I ask is that after Google Play restores my apps when I have flashed yet another a new JB build, the system hangs and then will not boot past the Samsung logo. I want to try and find out which app is causing it.

You can get a logcat in cwm recovery by using adb.... Same commands work in recovery.. Also after you have flashed you can go to advanced>show log in cwm to see the log.. You can also extract the log from the cache partition.. Cwm crates a log file and stores it in the cache folder.. Use adb to pull it out..

It isn't even hard to root at this point. You just install an app and follow HTC's instructions.

There is a boot.img file that goes with Viper (see the site). You must install with ADB (fastboot flash boot boot.img) or flash with "Flash Image GUI" that you can download from the market. Failure of wifi after installing a rom or kernel must be >99% due to wrong boot.img file for the kernel modules packaged in the rom or kernel you're installing.
Help extreme noob at it again

Wow, that's tough. Well it's hard to delete all the "sd card" data. If you have TWRP, go to advanced -> file manager and see if you have files. Most likely the viper download is still there in the download folder. If so, do the following:
1. In TWRP press wipe -> factory reset.
2. TWRP -> install -> download/viper zip file -> follow instructions.
3. You probably won't have wifi after install initially, but everything else should work.
4. After you do the ROM setup:
a. Go to the viper thread and download the boot.img file under the viper download link
b. Install flash image gui from the market. Use it to install the boot.img file. Ignore the caution potential issue warning. Flash the file and reboot. All should be well.
5. Be careful!:good:
Well go to your computer and then if do you have the sd tools from HTC, then cppy there the roms files and the boot .img,
Then go to dos command prompt in windos and find the files
Run the recovery and type in sideload
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then go to recovery again and flash the rom and thats it

I know what erased, i went back to TWRP and found what i did it says format data, this wipes all internal storage including backups & removes encryption, thats the one i hit by mistake. How do i fix that?? went into file manager and there is no download folder, looked all over. :crying:

OK, so you do need adb then. Assuming you have it installed rather than just a all-in-one kit, here's a good description of procedure: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
If you don't have adb installed, you need to install it.
