i`ve a rooted kf w/twrp installed.
i want to make dual boot on my kf.
should i restore my kf to default and remove twrp first?
any ideas?
thx, jsisaev
From my understanding you would use TWRP to load the saved ROM.Get the stock version the way you want it and your custom ROM the way you want it then back up both and use TWRP to switch between them. This is what i used to do before I made the switch permenant.

Hello together,
im running currently CWM 3.0.0.6 and would like to update to a newer version
with no Charging-bug. I have some questions about this.
1. Can i update CWM via flashing a zip...?
2. Which CWM version would you recommend at the moment? ( A link would be great)
3. Do i loose my old recovery files or is it compatibel?
Thank you very much in advance!
You can update Rom Manager from market and then you can update recovery using Rom Manager. It automatically downloads and installs updated recovery AFAIK.
Rom manager only gives you a temporary recovery, the easiest way I've found is an app called root toolbox pro, download the recovery image save it to your sd card then open the app choose advanced/flash recovery navigate to your img file on your sd card. Job done.

cant find advanced/flash recovery in root toolbox pro, is there any other option to install a new recovery?
when i just flash it its only temporary
Terminal emulator method works a treat. Can't remember command and busy at wedding reception at mo. But search for how to flash cwm via terminal and it'll work.

The easiest and quickest is to fastboot flash recovery
Your recovery backup will still be fine

Not really. The worst thing that happens is you break something in /system and have to make a factory cable to get into fastboot.
Use CWM recovery +FFF

Go with cwm... If you ever want to change ROMS Some have a reboot to recovery option and if your using twrp it will just cause a bootloop instead of going straight to recovery

hi im new to the whole nexus 7 scene just got it today and its also my first nexus device. came from a highly locked down dx2 then to htc and now im trying this. i used the nexus root toolkit v1.5.5 to unlock and root and flash custom recovery. but when i hold power down+volume down i get into the boot loader and i choose recovery then GOOGLE splash screen comes up and it does absolutly nothing while no usb chord plugged in. with usb chord it stays at the google splash screen for but a moment then just boots into android.
i tried the advance utilities and flash the cwm that way but same results. im still on 4.1.0 jrn84d. what am i doing wrong? i don't fully understand adb so if there is quite litteraly a step by step please give me a link or write it down if no such link exists. my last hdd that had adb all setup and ready crashed so its not setup and i was talking to someone who helped me get it going. all i know is i need to use command prompt but getting it into adb and then using it to push and get into cwm i have no clue.
i would love to make a nandroid and then install a kernal to gget the full power out of this thing. it is unlocked and rooted already.
They using ROM Manager app to install CWM and also boot into recovery. Will work for sure as long as you're rooted.

If you follow the steps correctly, it should have a custom recovery installed. check if your rom is actually rooted.
EDIT: What the hell are you doing on 4.1.0? I thought factory stock was 4.1.1.
Use this:

Get GooManager from the play store. It can download and install TWRP recovery which I prefer. GooManager will let you reboot into recovery too.

lol i dunno just came with it. its the 16gb version dunno why it came with 4.1.0 but it did. and when i installed rom manager i flashed cwm with that then choose to boot into recover that way and it worked. i am unlocked and rooted and now have a nandroid. have yet to try going to cwm with power+volume down being pressed i will give it a shot later on and make another nandroid before i accept the update im being propted for.
ty guys for the help.
There was a bug that required the N7 to be connected to a PC-USB connection before it would work. They didn't fix the bug until 4.1.2.
Your best bet, if you can boot into Android, is to download a Reboot-to-Recovery app or use CWM or GooManager to reset into recovery. If you are boot looping, throw a USB connection into the mix when trying to do it. I believe it is VolDown+Power+USB connection. Drivers may also be a factor.
Thanks for the reply. I finally updated it. Had to do three updates though. First to 4.1.1 then to 4.1.2 and then to 4.2. I have a nandroid at 4.1.0 so if I need to do anything I'm just going back. I used ota root keeper and the cwm that's from rom manager allows you to choose to protect your custom recovery as well as root. But I don't know if that was working in tandem with ota root keeper since I made sure to back it up first before I did anything.

Hi,
I'm desperate! Problems startet when the phone (defy, green lense) could not be charged anymore. Always getting a question mark. Tried the original charger as well as third party charger.
Anyway, right now my recovery is screwed and I cannot boot the phone anymore!
How do I get out of this mess?
First I'd like to get recovery working, I guess. Have adb access but how do I flash a recovery via adb? Or better question where do I get the recovery image file? Cannot find any .img - always .zip files.
(I'd appreciate a solution that doesn't involve Windows)
You can't flash a recovery via adb, since boot loader on defy is locked. I suggest you read up on the beginner's guide and learn how to flash an sbf. Your phone will be then as it was out of the box

Damnit!
Worst custom rom phone ever..
Thanks!
Well, actually once you're rooted then installing a recovery is actually installing just an apk 2ndinit search for it once you've flashed an sbf
And we've got really good developers fortunately

So i manage to remover the boot failure on from fastboot mode since it has been there everytime it boots up and it didnt boot up fully but after using droid utility to downgrade to 4.1.2 it no more goes to fastboot but now its stuck on a bootloop and my device is unlocked. So my question is. Can i install a rom to get out of this bootloop or is there any other way to get of the boot loop? Please i really need help!!!!
You should follow this to go back to 4.1.2 I would try to rsd back to whatever firmware you were on or just kk... Do you have a custom recovery on there to try and flash the ROM... What update were you on prior to doing what you did

I was running 4.4.2 kk but after ive tried to flash a image by using flasify to remove the boot loader unlocked message but it failed and it would start up on fastboot and thats it but after using droid utility to try to go back to 4.1.2 but after the reboot it stays in the bootloader message. but i do have a custom recovery im using twrp
I'm guessing you didn't make a backup before trying to flash the image... Or at all... I would say just restore your back up... If you want you could try to flash a ROM it would have to be comparable with whatever kernel you have and it may not work as you tried to use (I'm guessing) matt's utility... I would rsd the 4.4.2 firmware or use house of moto... If you want rid of the warning boot logo ATTACK just released some.... Always make a backup before attempting anything of that nature...and if you want to go back to 4.1.2 after the restore follow the method linked above
