Hi everyone,
I've managed to install DangerSPL on my 32B Magic via Clockwork Recovery - however, Clockwork Recovery keeps vanishing after each reboot and the standard recovery takes its place... what's with that?
It is suppose to do this? I thought it was suppose to replace the stock Android one permanently?
How do I go about making the install stick?
Thanks!
(My first time rooting, updating etc Android)
Cheers for all the support and help!
Nate.
PS>
When it boots back into Android System Recovery <2e>
It says at the bottom :
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on the recovery partition. This file is automatically flashed onto the recovery partition every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to the recovery partition gets blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change the recovery partition you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting.
So to fix this problem you have to rename the custom recovery file to:
recovery.img
then make sure it's on /system/recovery.img.
This will make sure that you have the custom recovery on every boot.
NB: The info is borrowed and modified a little.

Hi all,
I tried rooting my Nexus S and now it only roots into Clockwork Recovery. I am completely new to rooting but I am sure that there must be a way to restore factory settings to the phone if it will boot to something and is not bricked.
At this point if I could just replace everything on the phone with whatever comes stock to include the system image and recovery image I would be ecstatic. If someone could help me with step by step instructions to make this happen I would be extremely appreciative.
EDIT: The top of the screen says in red: FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG

There's currently no way to flash back to stock recovery, but it will come in time.
When you're in Clockwork recovery and select reboot system it ends up back in Clockwork?
What if you power off the phone, then hold up volume rocker and turn on power, then once in fastboot select reboot? What happens then?

OMG Thank you SO much. That worked like a charm.
I really hope someone can help me out. I think I bricked my phone.
I tried to recover my phone back to stock with stock recovery so I can send it in for repair. When I installed 2.3.4 OTA update through zip, I accidentally clicked yes for updating 2.3.6. I didn't know, went to washroom and my phone won't boot. I thought no worries I'll install the zip again. Going into recovery, there's an android picture with an exclamation mark. I can't boot into phone and cannot load recovery. Someone please help >_<
download CWM and try to flash it through fastboot, and use that to flash a new img. im assuming you've done this before, having a custom recovery before now. if not, make sure you have fastboot setup, and if you don't go look through a rooting guide how to set it up then once you have it set up, move the new recovery you downloaded to the same folder as fastboot, then type
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery
of course replace the name_of_recovery with the exact filename of the recovery you downloaded. you can get the ClockworkMod recovery I think at www.clockworkmod.com
then boot into the new recovery and go to Mounts and Storage and Mount USB, and take the update.zip that you have and load it onto your SD Card, then go into the recovery and do as you would to flash the zip
Problem is, I don't think usb debugged was enabled. I tried to lock bootloader so I can just take it back to my carrier and say phone is screwed up, but when I tried, it said device not found.
The only way I think is using odin.
Bottom half of the screen is cracked which makes it very difficult to " swipe to" do anything in TWRP. I locked my device and was unable to unlock with backup pin because the keyboard does not function properly. So I rebooted into recovery and accidentally wiped Calvin Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. Rebooted phone and it's stuck in a boot loop. I tried using adb but I could not get it to swipe into adb sideload. I found that connecting the phone to my PC does open up /SDCARD/TWRP but there are no other folders in /SDCARD. I moved a ROM from my PC to the TWRP folder and was able to flash it but got stuck in boot loop. Tried flashing a different ROM and it shows a new loading screen but still stuck in boot loop. No other folders are being created to SDCARD.. Haven't had this pphone for more than a week.... Was thinking I could maybe flash a non touch TWRP or CWM to avoid having to swipe to get things done and use the hardware keys.. but why is it being stuck in boot loop after it says it successfully flashed the ROM.
I did flash the 30b file it says to flash prior to flashing the 2 custom lollipop ROMs in the tmo dev forum. Any help, links, advise would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi there,
I have just tried to flash cyanogenmod onto my note 3 and must have done something incorrectly. Now whenever I power on the phone it goes straigt to recovery mode after a 3 line message about seandroid not enforcing. I can also boot the phone into download mode. I am using twrp recovery and whenever I try to flash the cyanogen zip file it fails saying e: unable to mount '/usbstorage'. before I orignally tryed to put cm on I created a backup with twrp and I have restored this, and this is the stage I am at now.
I am really stuck now and need some help please.
Thank you
You installing ROM from an external device, like a OTG drive or something?
Hello,
I have problem with my SM-G530FZ. I have installed TWRP, everything works great. But after that installing whenever I try to reboot, it reboots to TWRP instead of to system, so I have to click Advanced --> Reboot System, if I wish go to system. It's like TWRP is in a first boot partition. How to make it working, before installing, I mean standard reboot / boot is booting into system, not into TWRP?
Thanks for advice.
Reflash your boot partition and recovery as well
But how to do that?
Download the original firmware and unpack it, then go to heimdall or odin and flash the boot partition with the original boot file
