Unable to boot into CWM Recovery - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, i was trying to delete the cwm backups to free up some space, so I deleted the the folders into clockworkmod. And now i can on longer boot into CWM recovery. It will go to the Google boot screen and stuck in there. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You have to access recovery through ADB or the reboot option on your custom Rom.
It's a known bug when trying to access it through the bootloader.
Tapatalk made me send this.

isnt the toolkit meant to do this for the user? i read it said u can do this using the toolkit, also how do i do this once in root explorer?

am still on stock rom and iv not managed to get into cwm yet as when i hold up and power nothing happens...
iv read this
Q. I flashed CWM but each time I reboot the Stock Recovery is back
There is an auto recovery restore system on certain Stock Android Builds that will reflash the Stock Recovery if you flash CWM on a Stock Rom.
Use Root Explorer to Mount the system folder as R/W (or use a free app from Google Play such as ES File Explorer). Rename the files /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. Now when you flash CWM Recovery it will NOT be overwritten after a reboot.
OR you can use the ToolKit to rename the files.

Clockwork Recovery loads every boot..

I have just finished rooting and re imaging my D-X and it all works great but now for some reason every time I reboot my phone it loads directly in to Clockwork Recovery. If I select "Reboot" from CW Recovery's menu it will boot up correctly then.
I thought I saw a thread somewhere saying that there was a file or dir tree that I could delete to stop this but I cannot find it now.
What can I do to stop the phone from always going into CW Recovery on each boot?
I had that issue. It was when I flashed from one rom to another. You best bet. Sbfing and finding a rom then flash. I used .602 and flashed miui 1.10.21 and never had the issue again.

One more thing did you use rom manager Clockwork and flash it. That may be the issue.
I read that it has to do w/bootstrap...supp all you do is open bs and press install then exit and should be good...idk tho?

You have to purchase clockwordmod form the Play Store.

If you're asking how you reboot into CWM, just install ROM Mgr from the market. It's one of the 1st options you see in the program after you've got it installed.
Make sure you deleted (or renamed) that .p file in /system, or the stock recovery WILL REFLASH. Just a heads up. Also, can anyone confirm that holding power+volume up+volume down while the device is off will reboot into the bootloader/fastboot mode? If so, you can access recovery mode from there, in case you run into a bootloop or something.

And, I don't know if you like adb or not, but: adb reboot recovery

Soft in GT-I9301I

Hi, I am new here, i have a few questions.
I want to change my soft in GT-I9301I. My plan is:
1. Do a root: http://primehowto.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s3-neo-gt-i9301i-easy-tutorial/
2. Install TWRP http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56085899&postcount=2
3. Do nandroid backup.
4. Install ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-neo/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-s3-neo-t3099384
5. Repair battery https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPMneDKqyOc
I won't brick my phone? I have phone with I9301IXCUAOF1 soft. If my phone brick, can I use nandroid backup? Is KNOX is in this phone?
Thanks for answers. Sorry for my language, i am from Poland. I don't speak english very well, but i never use Google Translate .
You won't brick your phone , just follow the steps.. I have the same ROM on the same device.. About the battery i dont know if it will work, but anyway you won't brick nothing
---------- Post added at 11:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:49 AM ----------
I forgot to tell you that is enough to flash the cyanogenmod to have the root included.. Just flash a recovery via computer with Odin, and then flash the cyanogenmod with that recovery

I don't need root? I must only install TWRP and flash CM12?

Yes the root is included into the cyanogenmod 12.1.. Just flash TWRP or CWM with Odin on the computer.. Then put the ROM into your SD card, boot into TWRP or CWM and flash it ( anyway follow the steps of the guide to flash the ROM)
---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------
After that you flash the ROM the root need to be activated into the settings.. Go in developer settings, go on root Access and select App and ADB, and now the root will work.
Use King Root (dxa English last version) to root not triggering Knox.
Use Flasfify to make backup of stock recovery & then install TWRP 3.0
Do the complete backup of stock ROM & everything else except recovery!!!
Advice is that you enable data compression before making backup.
Then you can play with whatever you like.

Use CF-Auto-Root
Flash in odin AP section
https://download.chainfire.eu/953/C...-Auto-Root-s5neoltecan-s5neoltevl-smg903w.zip
Or
Flash a custom rom & then flash magisk

Ok. I've asked the forum in another thread but no one has replied. I don't understand. We can't be the only two people who own this phone, running 7.0, who want to root the device...
I think I will roolback and flash 6.0. Looks like there is a lot of support and threads showing how to root from 6.0.

See my above post
Also make sure you have enabled usb debugging in dev options
Also look for enable oem unlock & if you see it enable it
And also disable verify apps by adb if you see that too

Well I flashed it using odin. It says "pass" in odin and took a while to boot, but I think it worked. How do I verify? Download an app? And can I flash TWRP? If so, which one?

I'd guess it would be the following for g903w s5 neo lte
https://dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-s5neolte.img.tar.html
Put in AP section of odin
As soon as the device restarts hold power button Vol up & home button to enter recovery
If you miss the moment to enter recovery for the first time after flashing & your phone boots you will have to reflash the image until you enter twrp for the first time

I managed to get TWRP installed. I tried to install Lineage 15.1 as per this site:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums...-for-galaxy-s5-neo-android-8-1-oreo-download/
and am now stuck in a loop. It installed successfully with no errors but will stay stuck on the Lineage loading screen then revert back to recovery.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Should I install 14.1?

Correct process for flash rom
In twrp
Goto wipe
Advanced wipe
Wipe system data cache delvik/art cache
Install
Select rom zip
Install
Select gapps zip - use mind the gapps arm for lineage os 15. 1 http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
Optional install
Select root zip (use magisk)
Wipe delvik/art cache
Restart
If you didn't follow the above that's why it would bootloop
Hi, I'm wanting to root my s5 neo on 7.0 and like you, I'm also and finding it very difficult to find a guide that has a successful ending
I'm new to all this but I did notice that you tried to install lineage 15.1 for sm-g903F but your device is sm-g903w. Could that be your problem?
Have you successfully rooted your device yet?
To be honest I don't really want root, I just want to extract or atleast view all my saved wifi network passwords from the device.
