"Essential file to be kept on your SD card!!"
This is a recovery based file manager so that if you boot into any standard recovery and then you realise you have forgotton to do some file management that is necassary to complete the flashing process you can do it from recovery rather than re-booting. Instead, you flash the .zip and you enter a fully functional file manager!!!!
This should work on all xperia devices running a standard recovery, please report any devices/roms/kernels it does not work on.
I found it on the xda news.

Not my work, credit should be given to the original thread, I am only sharing the good news.
Confirmed working, everyone should have this on their sdcard.
Both touchscreen and hard keys work
Thanks for the share mate!
cant use touch screen
Yes you can, you touch the spots twice, if you press a button to skip calibration you can't

There seems to be a constant flow of questions about booting into recovery, so I thought I would take a video of what works for me.
In stock form this will get you to the recovery that allows you to wipe your user data. If you have an alternative recovery installed, ClockWorkMod as an example, this will get you booted into it.
UPDATED - we don't need to hold the VOL+ button.
1. Power Off the Device
2. Hold N and Power
3. After the screen has been on for about 5 seconds, release the buttons.
I hope this helps!
Nice job, BertoJG!
Come on, show us how to completely hose your OS, and boot into recovery, please! Thanks for your work on CWM!

Thanks! People seem to find enough creative ways of hosing their OS, no need for me to demonstrate.. That is why I worked on CWM as I though it was important and could "save" people from themselves, me included..

I'm going to try and redo my script because there is no reason why it shouldn't work but I had a hard time getting it to work I'm going to test this method.
Please note the OP has been updated to reflect the fact we don't need to hold the VOL+ key as part of this process.
Help Please: how to undo ClockWorkMod Recovery to use original stock Recovery?

Please pardon the cross post but anxious to find a reply.
I have installed the ClockWorkMod (& obviously its recovery menu).
The big question...
How to restore back to the original B&N Factory "recovery" program (i.e., undo installation of CW recovery system)?
I do not have a backup pre-CW; is there an image or RUU file somewhere, or is there a hidden backup copy of the original recovery to restore?
just curious this is for if you cant boot your nook currect due to a bad flash ?
others wis you could acces the recovery in the rom manager menu ?
I can boot into the CW recovery menu and select full recovery, but the result is not a virgin Nook... it is still rooted, has such app installed, etc. And most importantly, still has CW recovery mode installed and active as the recovery menu (ie whenever you do a hard reset boot) .
This is not ideal for a warranty inquiry situation when needed.
Thanks!

CWM doesn't let you do a full stock restore. The restore it gives you also needs to supplemented with about 10 steps or so in the terminal to get the stock recovery back.
Anyone whose rooting should be comfortable at the terminal, but we've known that CWM doesnt give a full backup for many days now and I guess its not a priority to get it fully operable, unless I'm mistaken...this is my first time back on the board in a while.

OK... as I hoped, the procedure listed in the thread "[Q] HELP! Maybe brick?" completely worked for me. Threads on this are scattered about, especially because some folks are playing with the boot files due to Froyo attempts, etc..

I must be missing some special thing - I can't boot into recovery. ROM Manager is/was able to get there, but booting with the "N" and the power key never puts me into recovery. Ideas?

You need to hold them both until you see CWR. Don't let go.. Make sure Rom manager has successfully flashed CWR (at the top of the screen in Rom manager).
I think it's a bit hard to determine how long you need to hold Power + n. In my experience very frequently my NC just shuts down when I hold too long. I have modified u-boot to use a different key combo (hold both Vol+ and Vol-) to boot into recovery. It's much easier now. If there is any interest, I can post my u-boot.bin.
Now I think of it, I should be able to modify u-boot to boot into either CWR or stock recovery base on different key combos. Would there be any interest?

Hi guys, I was trying to flash new ROM via CWM. However, cwm wasn't able to read the zip file saying something about script is not supported blah blah blah... Browsing thru xda forum, I found out that this problem has caused due to the cwm version(recently updated to cwm3.0.0.8) , or at least I want to believe it this way. So lastnight I ended up finding a thread started by jt1134 which I basically helped out lots of ppl who were struggling with similar problem as mine. But the thing is when I was trying to download the files, cwm-recovery-ALL.zip and cwm-recovery-ALL odin. The download links were broken giving me an error message. So guys, if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it pleaseeeeeeeee.
to shorten it down, the link is broken, I think. So if anyone has the files I beg of you to share it thank you..............
Hello jjalhjy
I will make this easy for the both of us!
Direct your browser to this link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999802
Once there scroll down to the 5th post (#5) where I linked both the page you referenced (broken links) and a link to a working download of the ".tar" file (was earlier! ).
If you need the .zip file scroll down to post 9 (#9) where I have linked it.
A quick guide to getting you flashed.
*note* I am assuming you cannot use .zip files due to the incompatible script error! This is for using odin.
1. Put phone in download mode via the power menu if on superclean. If not turn off the power, pull battery, plug into computer, hold "down" on the volume rocker till the yellow triangle "download" screen appears
2. download the ".tar" version of cwr all
3. Launch odin
4. Click the PDA button and search for the ".tar" file and select it -> then hit "ok"
5. Run the file in odin, wait for the phone to reboot.
6. put your battery back in and test recovery mode to see how it looks!
*whew*
good luck!
Wow that was a fast reply! Thank you! A quick question tho, 1. Do you know if I have to uninstall ROMmanager and delete update.zip file in my sd card before I even start flashing via using odin. 2. After following your instruction step by step, and let's say if it works. Do I still need to download ROMmanager? 3. I remember reading someone's thread in xda saying it is always necessary to flash new cwm after flashing a ROM (I always have it done using ROMmanager but now things have changed, obvisouly. So yea, how would I flash new CWM after flashing a ROM from now?
Sorry if these questions sound so newbyyyy hehe and thanks again!

It is advised (so I have read) that you should not use ROM manager with the Fascinate. While it is a powerful tool, it is just not 100% Fascinate friendly yet. Also I have never had to remove/mess with the update.zip on my SD card. Heck as far as I know you can delete it after using ODIN with the new cwr-all.

No. I would use the Development Thread here in the fascinate section for your ROMS. ROM manager is just not made for us.....yet!

I personally have never done this. To the best of my knowledge (and real life experience) cwr-all (red version) is the current and most up-to-date version (for the Fascinate). Once I ODIN-ed over the cwr-all I have not updated it once. You should be fine to flash it and flash ROMs as you please!
Dude, thanks A LOTTTTTT
I decided to create this forum because I saw a lot of people posting complaints regarding Status 7 error in the CM10 development forum. I don't know whether making a thread here is even the right thing to do but I am doing it all the same just because I want to help. I would have personally posted this on the thread but since I am a new member,I am not allowed access to post on the development thread.
So, getting down to business,even I had the same problem. And this is the simple fix that I did .Dunno whether it's the right thing to do but it worked for me and again,I am just trying to help -
1) Shut down your phone by pressing the power + Vol Up button together
2) Boot into fastboot mode and flashboot the .img file put up as attachment along with this post
3) Fastboot reboot
4) Go into recovery as usual and flash CM10+Gapps from SD as mentioned in the original post.
Hope this helps.This is my first thread btw,so please excuse any mistakes that I might have made. :silly:

Glad to know, that all ok! As for .md5 file - i think it's broken when file transfer to hosting... I try to upload .zip container with .md5 file inside.
If the checksum portion of the file is getting damaged somewhere between you and the user, is it possible something else is too. Even if it is something more or less inconsequential.
hello guys!
just got my new tab3 and am anxiously monitoring this thread.
fingers crossed.
thanks for your efforts.
Been kinda quite around here.....
Any luck on getting TWRP to work?
It works fantastic. Been using it for a week+ now. Unless I missed something, what makes you think it isn't working?

There just aren't many users responding that they've tried it and it works.
Purely a numbers game for me based on previous experiences with newly rooted tablets/phones.
Plus, I'm not fully understanding the complete instructions.
Is this TWRP only?
I guess we need root before installing this, but the only rooting method I've found installs CWM...does this overwrite CMW?
To answer the first question yes this does work I flashed it onto my Tab3 without any problem. Technically you should be able to use Odin to flash TWRP recovery and then use the root.zip file from DutchDanny's CWM thread to gain root access.

I'd agree with this. I personally used the CWM process, but using TWRP first, then root #SHOULD# work.
Somehow TWRP just doesn't seem smooth like it does on my phones and other tablet. I have to click stuff slowly and sometimes if I scroll too fast through a list for example to find a file to flash it takes me back to the main screen.
Is this just me or has anyone else noticed this?

Flash either this or cwm using Odin first and then you can install the root.zip from DutchDanny's recovery/root thread and run stock rooted or his custom ROM from that thread.

Boot into recovery by powering down the tab. Press the home button + volume up + power button and hold them. It should boot into twrp recovery. Install the root.zip from sdcard.
recovery_final.tar.md5 is cwm recovery instead of twrp. I like it better and use it, but even DucthDanny said once to use twrp to someone having an issue.
Hope this helps.
I need to write a tutorial for rooting installing custom ROMs and stuff so we all can get this from one thread.

You just have to unzip the file from DutchDannys Bindroid site and you'll end up with a recovery file that ends in md5 which is the file to put in the pda slot.
Apologies to the OP for getting off topic in your thread.

I'm a complete beginner at all of this, but im trying to prepare for the LG flash tool for my Nexus 5 to fix its display issue(blank/black screen) i see now i need to edit a file deep in the filesystem (sdcard/ i think? Idk its a misc.img) and to do this i need to have rooted my phone. This morning i already installed a custom boot recovery Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) so i was wondering before i do the root procedure after i get off work, did i already root the phone when i installed the custom recovery or is that a totally different procedure??
Thank you for the help, I'm having a lot of difficulty (learning experiences..) doing this. Also if anyone can help me out, i have a huge post of all my concerns,issues in bitdomos great lg flash tool thread for nexus 5 here. (Cant post direct links because new user status, sorry!)

No. You must install the proper su binary via recovery, which will therefore make your device rooted. A custom recovery in and of itself does not cause your device to be rooted.
You can find the latest SuperSU zip which is flashable in recovery in the thread linked below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Thanks for the reply! Also thanks for moving the thread to a proper place, i appreciate it! I also made a duplicate thread in the nexus 5 general and if that isn't allowed, my apologies I wont mind if you need to delete this thread.
I'm wondering how to install/(flash)(I'm still unfamiliar with the term flashing, for my mind i just assume its similar to installing?) supersu through my twrp recovery. Thing Is my phone has a black/blank screen issue where it cant display and when o go to the recovery screen from fastboot i can only see the twrp screen for 5-10 seconds. I think it would be enough time to select a button if i had to but only one probably. Thanks for the help
