A preface:
This is neither development or a question. This is simply an informative post that needs to be in the development section to save many users issues. (also most people looking for custom roms dont look in general section)
I did not create this.
New official CWM v5.8.2.0 (link below)
A few of us have confirmed that it now properly backs up and restores the boot.img
This Helps with the following issues
-Possibly fixes bricks (by properly restoring boot.img)
-Correctly comes with Staging/System unmounted
-Nandroid Restores properly the boot.img (of backups created with this CWM). This means no more issues when restoring a Rom if you are coming from another from (for example, if you are restoring Virtuous after wiping cm9)
Additionally:
-Backups are now about 10x faster
-Restores are a bit faster (not as dramatic as backups)
Still no go:
-External SD Card (Pretty sure)
-Reboot into recovery (probably a software issue within OS anyway)
Manual install:Here is the link to the file if you prefer to manually install (EASY WAY BELOW) -Must have unlocked bootloader

Easy Install -Must have unlocked bootloader.
Use Rom Manager:
Install Rom Manager from the market -> Open -> First Option: 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'-> Done.
This can be done over your current CWM (if you installed it via ViperMod) or manually)
If you have issues installing via RM try this
Swiftks said:
I had the same issue, when I first tried to install CWM via Rom Manager.
I solved it by installing the version that installs via the Prime Time Root program. Then installed the Rom Manger version without a hitch.

you need to update the superuser binary. open the superuser app and go to the top right wrench icon. click it and scroll down to "Su Binary x.xx" click it to update, do it a couple times for good measure. re-install rom manager after uninstalling it from market. open it up and try again.

This is no more or no less development than this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510983
This cwm is more up to date and will prevent many end users from making the mistake of installing an outdated version. These 2 threads can (and should) be merged as long as the thread title has the latest CWM in it and the OP has some information regarding it.
Thanks

cool...so this wont mess with any backups already made or any ROMs that we have already flashed?
Sorry for the noob type question, just want to be sure

It should not. all my previous ones are there after flashing in RM
Though: I dont think it will retroactively fix the boot.img restore and backup issue meaning, you should probably make new backups if you want to be able to restore the kernel properly in the future
So since I'm n00bish, what's the best way to do this?

Your welcome.
Thumbs up to the CWM team for finally releasing a more working recovery.
Thumbs up to "DeathByFugu" who brought it to my attention in IRC.
Thumbs up to those who tested with me and confirmed it was working as it should (DeathByFugu, youngex/tg3x)
Just ran a backup and it was definitely quicker than the last 2 that I made.

Hmm very odd.

-Rooted
-Try opening up Rom Manager in application manager and hit clear cache.

Yep, I am runnig Virtuous ROM.
I did go in and clear cache and data and tried all over again.
It starts, the "blue bar" at the top of the screen starts to scroll across and gets to about the end and just hangs. If I remember correctly from my other phones it should boot at that point and do its thing?
I will uninstall...reboot and reinstall.
If that doesnt work, maybe I will try the old fashion adb deal.

Sounds like it's borking when it would normally ask for Superuser permissions. Make sure your Superuser app isn't blocking it.

Hey All-
just have to say this phone is awesome.
It is rooted, and I have titanium backup and a few other things installed without any bumps.
but when u try to install busybox, it either days "busybox installation failed",.or it crashes.
I have tried busybox installer with the same results.
Help!!
How is Titanium Backup working if you don't have busybox installed? I thought busybox is needed in order for TB to work properly.

i am curious too. My titanium works, when i try normal or smart install of busy box it either fails or the phone reboots.
When you flash supersu on recovery, do you still need busybox?
What does it do?

If I remember I couldn't install busybox from the play store app. I had to install it via recovery.. I got the .zip from the android general forums. After that it worked fine.

I had this exact same problem with stock ROM and unlocked with root. Cedric at Android Tuner reviewed my catlogs and its something to do with CPU3. I flashed [ROM][4/27] - AT&T Stock Root 1.26.502.10 -| Flashes boot.img | System RW capable! and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps.
I was also having this problem as well as trying to install Secure Settings Helper. Both wouldn't install even though I had root. I discovered from another thread it is the kernel. You need a kernel that will allow you to actually right to the system dir. Once I flashed a new kernel, both busybox and secure settings helper installed just fine.

I read somewhere else, that BusyBox could not be installed because of S-ON, what I did is: flash BusyBox.zip directly from TRWP, which works perfectly!

Hi guys, I have a Noot Tablet 16 GB using CM10.1.
I installed an app and then uninstalled using Titanium Backup.
No I'm trying to install it again and every time I try I get "Application not installed".
How can I solve this?
Re-install it through the play-store, then just restore "app data" through TB.

I can't. First it's not a play store app, and second, I don't have a backup.
How did you install it in the first place?
Edit. Ok, re-reading op, I assume you originally side loaded an apk file, un-installed it (without backing up) through TB, and are now trying to re-side load the app? Assuming this is all true, are you using the same original download file from the first install?

Yes, I download the APK, installed, test it, uninstalled with TB (because I was using it and I remember that I need to uninstall that APK, so I kill two birds with one stone), try to reinstall very same APK, always fail.
I assume you are rooted and have custom recovery. If so, go into CWM/TWRP, wipe cache and dalvik-cache then try installing. Also, before doing any of that go into settings under security and make sure you have unknown sources checked.
Good luck

Unknown sources check, wipe cache and dalvik cache... didn't work.
Ok, I have one more thing to try. Go into both internal and external sd cards, find android/data, within data erase any file associated with that apk. This should clear all remnants of that apk file from you nt. It will be closer to the state it was in when you first installed the app.
Sorry if I couldn't help.

What app is it? If it's available on the Play Store install the app there. As for the the previous uninstalled app there must be parts left behind. Look around in your File Manager. For now on use the settings to uninstall apps.

You only need root on your phone, then run the recovery installer on your pc and it'll do the rest of the work. ADB drivers must be installed don't forget that. instructions and download here, read them carefully and you should have write access in no time.
