Is anyone working on a one click CWM/root solution for EI22?

I know I'm not the only one who can't Odin flash CWM and actually get it to stay after reboot
So, anybody working on an easier, more reliable method?

I was able to get it to stick just now by using this kernel... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307980

Flash mkasik's key fix kernel mentioned above *before* you flash clockwork. Then it will stick. I posted this over in the purple clockwork recovery thread but I don't think its gotten a lot of attention. If you use heimdal you could pull the zimage and recovery.bin from the tar files and flash them at once as well. That should work too.

Did you Odin the keyboard fix kernel before CWM, or at the same time? If you did it at the same time, does the kernel go in the Phone slot?
Thanks Stilesja

I flashed the kernel first, rebooted and then flashed recovery. I used the PDA slot each time.

Glad to help, what made me think of that is I remembered back when purple clockwork came out you would still go into orange clockwork if you did a reboot recovery from the Clockwork App, and it was because there is actually a copy of recovery built into the kernel, then everyone updated their kernels with the new recovery and it was always purple. So when this happened I thought that sprint must have done something to send the three finger boot into the kernel recovery, turns out that must have been the case because a custom kernel fixes it.

The problem is that after (any) OTA update, the phone will reflash the recovery kernel with the stock boot kernel image on every boot, unless the recovery image is already "up to date". Here's the longer explanation.
Anyways, there's two fixes:
1. Flash a custom kernel, then a custom recovery. (As other have noted.)
2. Once rooted, use root explorer or something to delete the files: "/system/etc/install-recovery.sh" and "/system/recovery-from-boot.p". That will let you run the stock EI22 kernel with a custom recovery.

Thank you folks, you have the questions asked & answered (typically) before I can even ask. Just need to look!!!

Very interesting read (I actually read your "long" explanation a couple of days ago, then re-read it just now), thanks for the excellent, informative explanation! <Thanked>

I9023 recovery problem

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?

I follow this guide and then install CWM by Rom Manager and it working now

After flashing ics4.03 ur recovery and boptloader are overwriten by rom itself. So if u want to access cwm u have to flash cwm everytime. Tats what im doing atm... sad

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

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.

Nexus S is rooted but see no CWM!

Hi guys! So i have root successful my phone.
But when I want to go to Recovery, there will come be a android icon, and after that my screen is black?
I can only into the recovery menu with CMD on my pc...
Somebody know?

if your on stock ota it rewrites stock recovery every time you reboot device
flash this it will delete files that rewrite recovery http://db.tt/ooDaCnU
only flash if your on stock firmware

Yes I'm on Stock OTA...
So the only way, to come into the cwm is to every time to typ in cmd "fastboot flash recovery" ?

Yes. If you want to keep the CWM, you should delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

go into cwm and go to back up and restore and select backup so u can have your current setup to go back to just incasse some custom roms you flash are not to your liking and also copy the backup from your sd card to your computer just in case something happens

That's doesn't make sense, can you explain what it means? Which recovery, which rom was installed and was working? You wipes system and data, ok. What did you do then?

Cm13 you can flash it though twrp.

You didn't understand or read my post... You need to flash stock firmware with fastboot. I didn't wrote flash it with twrp.
Use the all in one tool. It's called so, because you can do all with it. Like downloading stock rom and flash it :good:

Use all in one tool to boot into bootloader. Read carefully or your next step is qfil method
Here's a good guide in case you're don't get it through aoi tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/general/qpst-method-how-to-unbrick-to-stock-t3506833

Stock Recovery

Hi to everyone, I have a doubt on what to do.
I installed a Custom Rom in my Huawei P10 Lite, but I want to go back to stock, and I know that before flashing the stock rom, I have to install the stock recovery and then use the dload method to revert to stock, my doubt is, which Stock recovery should I use?
Thanks in advance!

Dload or HwOta.
Dload will format all partition and lock your bootloader and u need sd card.
HwOta will just install stock rom and after it do not boot rom(you don't need sd card). You need to do factory reset from stock recovery.

I just downloaded a Service Rom from another XDA post for Huawei P10 Lite, copied all those files in a folder called "dload" and then, after turning off the device, used the "three buttons method" (you have to press volume up, volume down and power button to use the dload method) and it fully reverted to stock.
Just to warn you, I'm missing too much things and I don't know how to fix that, I'm just happy that my phone reverted to stock.
