I have a NS I9023. It was on stock 2.3.6 with locked bootloader and stock recovery.
I flashed the official ICS ROM which is working fine. But I am not able to see recovery. It's a problem many have reported but I have not come across a solution.
Can somebody please help. I would like to goback to 2.3.6 and wait for the OTA for my device.
Thanks.
You can flash the stock recovery image from 2.3.6 using fastboot and install 2.3.6 using signed update zips from google

Got back to 2.3.6 lock and stock. Phew....
I had to go through the same process for the same reason. After this journey through ICS on the NS, I'm really looking forward to the OTA for our i9023.
I was on the nexusbeam 3.0 rom, flashed back to stock 2.3.6, lost root and cwm, flashed the OTA via the stock recovery and then flashed cwm via fastboot and su.zip via cwm, no problems.
did anyone try that?

AOSP roms flash recovery on reboot. To stop this (with root) use whatever explorer/editor you have available to rename/delete the /etc/install-recover.sh
Then flash CWM and it's permanent.
The recovery screen is actually there. Use a flashlight and flash it at the black screen.

What he said. It seems that some people with 9023 can't see the recovery because its too dark, many are remembering button sequence to go through it

Can you explain to me how to do that? I'm not liking ICS with all the bugs and would like to revert to stock. Can you help me? I have i9023.

You will have to unlock boot loader. Then use fast boot to flash custom rom. Then flash stock rom using the custom rom. You may then lock the boot loader if you like.

Guys i need your help
History:
1. bought the phone with froyo (phone is atrix 4g att)
2. updated over-the-air to gingerbread
3. rooted
4. installed clockworkmod
5. unlocked bootloader
6. backed up stock rom
6. installed cyanogenmod 7 beta with android recovery (update.zip)
Now I want to get back to gingerbread 2.3.4, so can i just restore it via clockworkmod restore or there is some other way?
And if i just restore my backup, is it safe for future OTA updates?
PS: i did spend my time searching and reading xda forums but i am not sure what to do because english is my 2nd language and i don't understand everything, i love my atrix and don't wan't to brick it
Thanks

System and boot version only? What happened with webtop after flashing to cm7, is it still in phone?
What about some other rom, alien or aura, is the same procedure as for cm7 via android recovery?
You backed up your previous rom.....restore it.

those are safe.

Hi All,
I have a question here.
Is it possible to have a kernel recovery for our X8?
Maybe our developer can make a kernel recovery or adding some menu in CWM recovery.
Thanks.

i dont think so kernal recovery it is possible... however you can find the backed up stock kernal on this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225
You can download stock kernel from BL unlock thread. When you downloaded it, just copy the .ftf to /flashtool/firmwares and flash it via Flashtool.

I don't think so.
CWM or xRecovery comes after the bootloader started up.
There is nothing which could get you in a pre-stadium from the bootloader.
In other words, when you press the power-button, your phone will first get into the bootloader, then in your ROM or CWM/xRecovery.

Thanks for reply.
It's mean we need to put a recovery into a stock kernel.For example put a recovery into stock kernel.After we flash a stock kernel using flashtool and reboot and press back button to enter into a recovery to restore stock/custom rom.
Or maybe just an idea.

Oooh, i missread your question. I thought you wanted to backup the stock kernel etc (whereoff the reason wasn't clear to me).
If you use the stock kernel, you can simply install xRecovery by apk.
I was running 4.3 stock rooted and yesterday was prompted to update to JWR66Y, thinking this would be no big deal i decided to update. later on that day i decided i was bored with stock android and went to flash cm10.2, but the update has seemed to wipe TWRP off my nexus 7 and has also broken root..
does anybody know how to fix this??? the internet has provided no answer and i would very much like to enjoy the freedom of having a rooted nexus..
thanks to anyody that can help! :fingers-crossed:
If you had searched well you knew that booting a stock ROM after sn update almost always replaces the custom recovery by stock recovery. The easiest way to reflash your custom recovery is using fastboot, I.e.
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>
while you are in fastboot mode.

This did not work for me unfortunately. I tried to fastboot flash both latest TWRP and CWM. Neither one sticks and it's pissing me off.
my phone is bootloader unlock, does it mean I can flash the third part recovery like TWRP, and use it?
MY guess yes..

TWRP will not work on the OTA, yet. However, there is a working CWM in the HD forum. I flashed it to my M and have zero issues with it.

I flashed the CWM recovery too...it does boot to recovery
but it seems to be some problem with CM11 package, the assert check shows my device ID is empty so the recovery just abort the installation.
I want to flash CM11-m6 snapshot....any ideas?

CM11 won't work if you've updated. Apparently, the boot loader is updated and the ROMs haven't been updated for it.

You have an unlocked BL, just flash SU to get root, and delete/freeze apps. That's pretty much what I did and used Xposed on top of that.
I haven't tried it yet, buy couldn't you just rsd back to an earlier build then flash your custom ROM?

None of the ROMs have been updated to work with the new recovery. Just give it time.

It means that none of the ROMs out right now will work with the new CWM. Also, quit trying flash TWRP. TWRP is not compatible with the new KK, yet.
Got it, many thanks

My xt907 Has the OTA 4.4 update and an unlocked BL. I don't have a custom recovery installed anymore. Is it possible to flash SU or superuser and get root with fastboot. If so. Please help! Thanks. I'm ok with flashing CWN if need be. I just want root to install a Xposed and remove bloatware.

I'm pretty sure you can use fastboot/ADB to sideload zips, though I'm not super familiar with the commands so I wouldn't know how to explain it to you.
I am familiar enough with the commands, but I am unable to find the zips to flash. any help would be great.
Thanks,

I was one of the people who thought it would be cool to update to the OTA immediately without waiting and reading... I got the CWM recovery going and rooted stock 4.2.2 , but I really cant wait for TWRP to get updated so I can get back to my Rom, or really any supported Rom would be better then stock. I have only myself to blame.

That is incorrect, you can get an OTA with an unlocked bootloader, but you must have stock recovery on an official ROM. If you are already rooted it is a coin toss, depends what has been changed, it may work or it may fail, but you will lose root.
That being said, many root methods replace recovery, so it is best to not take an OTA if you have modified your system from stock if you really don't know what you are doing, either flash stock images when they come available manually, or wait and flash radios/bootloader manually and use a custom ROM... it is, after all, a Nexus device.

Easiest to download the lollipop factory image and flash in bootloader, then you don't need OTA. Backup your data first!
If you insist on using the OTA, you'll have to first lay your hands on flashable zips / images of Stock recovery and kernel, flash them in cwm/ bootloader, then install the OTA.
Theres also a flashable zip of lollipop (search for thread in xda) that you can flash in cwm.
Tried to use fastboot (flashed bootloader) but I got no menu in recovery options, when I chose 'Recovery mode' in bootloader, I only see that dead android with a question mark, but nothing happens when I press volume down or volume up. Any idea?

The dead android screen is the stock recovery, to see the menu press and hold Power button, then press volume up.
