I recently rooted and flashed CM7 on my T-Mobile Prism, but shortly afterwards I found out that the device was still eligible for warranty. I'm in need of an upgrade, so I decided to try to return the phone to stock as to reinstate the warranty. I managed to unroot and flash the stock ROM, but I still have CWM Recovery on the device. The problem is that whenever I plug the phone in to charge from a power-off state, it boots straight into the custom recovery instead of booting up like normal. Now, I'm asking if there is any way to either prevent the device from booting into the recovery like that, or to remove CWM altogether and reinstall the stock recovery.
If anyone could possibly help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I recently rooted the phone and wanted to install a custom rom. When I tried to back up the current stock rooted rom with rom manager, someone went wrong. So I was then stuck on a flashing black screen. But I can still access Odin/download mode. But whenever I try to flash something, it flashes, but the screen just reboots back to the flashing black screen. Help please I dont know what to do
What firmware base did you start from, and what method did you use to root the phone?
Rom Manager is not recommended for use on the I777 phone. You need a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery to back up the phone. Did you try to install ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager?
Need more information before we can help. So, answer the above, and provide as much detail in addition as you can.
I almost messed my phone up by not rooting or flashing a ROM the proper (safe) way and ended up using a return to stock / unroot guide to start fresh and just follow the guides for rooting and installing ROMs from there.
so to make a long story short: i rooted my nook, then bricked it, unbricked it and it went back to unrooted stock. now when i was unbricking it i installed cwm internally to make things easier, only thing is now that i am unrooted and back to stock i can still boot into the internal cwm with the n and power button. this is where my question/confusion comes in, if i am unrooted how is it that i can still do this? non of my other apps that were installed when i was rooted show up and i can only get to cwm recovery by booting in. i am just curious if this is normal
thanks for any info!

From what I understand, the recovery image, and the normal boot image are different and seperate entities.
There's a way to flash the stock recovery, as well, look over in the developer forum.
flash the stock recovery using indirect's newest recovery flasher app. of course you need to be rooted. once that app is installed you can flash the stock recovery.
Hey guys Im trying to get my rooted and ROM'ed ME7 Galaxy S4 back to barebone stock as Im trying to sell the phone.
What things have I done to my phone?
Ive rooted my ME7 S4 and then loaed Safestrap recovery and installed a custom rom on slot 1
Now in the process of trying to get my phone back to stock I did a wipe from safestrap on the stock rom slot which reset the stock rom I then booted from the stock rom n downloaded safestrap and was able to uninstal safestrap so now my phone boot up to a fresh clean s4 without any safestrap recovery splash screen
however my problem is in order to sell my phone I have to be able to do a reset from the settings then accounts tab and backup and reset button
however when I do this the phone reboots and has the Could not do normal boot error odin mode
I assume since I removed the safestrap recovery there is no recovery software at all now?
Can anyone tell me how I can get stock recovery back onto my phone and heres the kicker if at all possible to do so without the use of a PC as I currently dont have access to one but if thats the only way still pkease let me know how I can get stock recovery back
Also im not really concern with unrooting the phone as long as I can get back into the stock recovery. Also if anyone is wondering yes I can install safestrap again and it will boot up like how I had my rooted n rom setup
I just need to get my stock recovery back so I can do factory data resets using the stock recovery n not the wipe method from safestrap recovery
thanks for any help

If you're going to sell it, plug it in to your PC and run the Verizon Recovery Assistant. It'll wipe and reinstall for you.
I was messing around with my phone and flashed the wrong recovery file for it. Now every time I try to boot the phone into recovery, I get a message saying that it is an unapproved program and I need to bring it into the Verizon store to correct the problem. I guess this is what is called a "soft brick". To fix it, I just boot into download mode and then cancel. The phone boots up normally after this. My question is, how do I go about flashing the samsung stock recovery so that I won't keep getting this error? Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Build number is NG6
You'll need to install Safestrap. Our phones can't run custom recoveries unless you have the mdk bootloader
Selling my galaxy S4 which is running cm12.1 rom and the guy who bought it wants me to keep it on cm and keep the bootloader on the mdk build.
for some reason i thought it would be a good idea to go into the phone, go to backup and recovery area and do a factory reset. the phone rebooted, and now its just looping at the TWRP screen. it just flashes it every few seconds, doesn't seem to be rebooting the phone, just recovery. if i pull the battery and throw it back in, phone will try and boot back into recovery and I have the same issue.
is there a way to reflash TWRP via odin? or even clockwork mod? just need something to get into recovery with or how else can i fix this? I really want to avoid doing an odin flash back to stock MDK, then rerooting and then reflashing a cm12.1 rom.
