Hello XDA
Im just wondering if anyone can create a CWM 6.0.2.3 Recovery Flashable Zip that can be flash via Recovery..
Coz for I do test some custom cwm touch recovery, but to be able to revert back to Official CWMR 6.0.2.3, I have to flash the .IMG via PC (Fastboot Mode).
If anyone can provide us with a Flashable zip with ClockWorkMod Recovery that would be cool and I would be greatful to the one who provide it..
THanks and have a nice day..
Why not use ROM manager?
You can't flash a recovery image when in recovery as it's in use - you can only use fastboot (or ROM Manager if you REALLY want to)

Ow.. Thanks for that valuable information, though, I tried to flash a custom CWM touch recovery which was posted here, and there's a flashable zip available, I tried that and flash it via Official CWM Recovery it flashes without any problems,
Still, Fastboot flashing is no problem for me, is just that, It happens to me one time that cant access my PC, then thought of and hoping there's a flashable zip of cwmr without any modifications just like the Official .IMG
Thanks for the reply.
EDIT:
And as for the ROM Manager, I think its a paid app, and I only buy paid apps If I always use that app.

In which case I stand corrected, I didn't think it was possible to flash another recovery when the existing one is running. Seems like a bit of a security loophole IMO!

Use an OTG adaptor to access to USB thumb drive connect to Nexus 4.
I have same set up when used TWRP 2.4.4 on Samsung Nexus, and ASUS TF300t; on both devices TWRP recognizes SD card external via OTG without problem.
On Nexus 4, when plug in, or turn it to fastboot, recovery mode, the light on USB thumb drive does not blink. after get in TWRP it will not mount external drive.
Any help?

I didn't "dig up" the thread. I was looking for information on CWM Recovery custom ROMs and while reading this (among others) thread looking for the info, I saw your post. Since you aren't man enough to delete your inaccurate comment, I felt it important to decry it so others don't heed your ignorant assertion.
Why should I delete it? I was corrected, I admitted as such and that is more manly than leaving a post saying 'deleted' in it don't you think? I can easily admit when I'm wrong and this was one of those times

heres the fun part, you can flash (install) other roms, modems, kernals, etc that the developers come up with. You could flash google 3.1 right now.
My phone has like 6 roms and 3 modems on it. each rom acts and looks different, is faster or slower. my stock gps didnt work worth crap till i flashed a different modem

the clockwork recovery as well any custom recovery. it allows the unsigned .zip that we use to changes roms update and so on., without being stopped by manfacturer security
clockwork its popularity might have come from the awesome rom manager app i believe he is also on the cm team. someone with better knowledge can answer that one.

So im a big noob on modding tablets, and not wanting to brick it I would appreciate the help
So i install this app (already done) then open it up... i have 2 choices install clockwork recovery or install stock USA...... so i install clockwork recovery?
what does this do? lets me install custom 'recovery.img' onto the device such as PRIME 1.4?
so i download PRIME 1.4.zip and inside are 2 folders and boot.img, how do i then go about safely putting PRIME on the device?
sorry for all the questions but everyone's gotta learn sometime ;D
many thanks.
all helpful posts in helping me understand will be thank'd!!

You leave Primed zipped and put it on your SDcard.
You then boot into CWM and select install .zip from SDcard.
Navigate to the file (Prime 1.4) and just select it.
It should then install
Reboot and have lots of new fun!

How do I boot into CWM? like a device reboot, or via the app?
Ok so I installed CWM recovery from the app above.... and moved the PRIME.zip file to my SDcard root but in the app now the "Custom or Stock recovery.img from microSD" is greyed out.
Any ideas how I install PRIME?
I also rebooted the device and managed to boot it into CWM, however when i go to "install zip from sd card" PRIME does not appear in the list, i get DCIM/ and LOST.DIR/
^ My advice is to STOP RIGHT THERE
Don't even THINK about installing Prime until you've read the Prime thread in the development section and UNDERSTOOD WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
Otherwise you WILL KILL YOUR TABLET.
Seriously, newbies shouldn't be doing any of this stuff until you've understood how to do it safely.

prime should be in your external sd card... not in sdcard .. do you can understand this ???
cwm can only read external sd card and usb storage like usb thumb drive

hi there, i have a problem with my nexus 7 and i have searched around for some answers i cant seem to find any for my problem.
so the story goes:
i downloaded the nexus 7 toolkit by mskip and i used this to unlock the boot and root my device, this worked fine. I then decided to try another rom, so i copied the zip to the sdcard (or so i thought) and using the toolkit i used option 11 to install the recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-grouper.img, (i selected option 1 intall in /boot, i assume this is where i screwed up) this too went fine. but i couldn't install the new rom as it was no longer there, and now i cant get my device to do anything except boot into cwm or i can go into fast boot.
any ideas on what i can do?
i have looked for the default .img to try installing that but i cant seem to find one.
thanks for looking.

dont use a toolkits. download the rom via your phones browser, go into recovery and flash it. anyways, you should try twrp recovery, its better than cwm and not buggy

yes i do, but i get confused using those, which is why i used the toolkit to unlock and root my device. unfortunately i got a little carried away and installed cwm into the wrong directory and overwrote the boot img.

cant you reach your storage via your cwm recovery? you should be able to transfer files from your computer to device still.

i've tried to do this, but it wont let me mount the /scdard, im not sure why, but it maybe has something to do with how i installed cwm on the device, or maybe im have driver issues
UPDATE = i fixed my device, my stupidity knows no bounds, i found an option in the toolkit to download and install the factory standard rom with all the gubbins attached including the boot img so i okay for now untill i find something else to screw up

im just letting the S3 users know that i have now got an s3 and will begin developing for s3 now!
starting with my first creation for the s3, i have made a flashable .zip file that flashes the selected recovery, so no need for re-downloading and re-flashing, simply flash the .zip, then aroma will open asking whitch recovery to flash then it will flash then reboot into the new recovery!
coming soon!

personally I do not see the point yet as I just can download the single recovery (there is anyway not that much choice) and flash it but I am sure there are users that will appreciate an Aroma installer.

The point of this being that some recoveries cant flash certain .zip files... eg twrp 2.5.0.0 cannot flash .zip files with aroma, this is also a pachage to help developers!

An app that could connect to a central repository and download the latest versions would be great. Then using the same method stweaks by siyah uses to "hijack" recovery or temp boot would make more sense to me.
That way you open app, choose recovery to boot and flash your zips. Then boot back to android...
Rather than boot recovery, flash zip,,choose recovery, flash zip...
Or just use philz recovery and be able to flash all zips anyway

Seems legit, although I do not have time to make a . Apk of it..
Also keep in mibd what if you didnt have data connection, or yet couldnt even boot...
I've got it rooted and stuff but it's still on 4.2.2 I think. No USB cable to connect to PC to flash it.
Not really. You'll pick one up for pennies on eBay.

I don't understand why you couldn't I've never had to use a USB cable for anything. Use a flashdrive, SD or es file Explorer to transfer rom and flash away. You can't flash directly from flash drive but you can from SD card.

Guides I read said that you needed to use fastboot and stuff to flash roms (cyanogen and twrp). The only rom flasher I actually found that seemed trustworthy enough couldn't even reboot the console. It just crashed itself.

Use flashify to install twrp img, flashify will also reboot to anything. if flashify is not trustworthy I think someone would have made a thread here. I've used it many many times without any negative effects. Hope this helps you

Sorry. I don't know when you responded. Slow network. It just won't boot past the CWM recovery/reeboot system now screen. It says my CWM folder is empty. I have an S3 I can use to transfer the .zip CWM file to the SD card of the S4, if I had the .zip file. I have no way to a computer to do anything like that, that way. The I'm Samsung Leiss? (I think) to restore it back to the factory version.

If you mean that you can use a s3 backup on the s4, then no, don't do that, i believe you can flash the stock firmware using your phone by MobileOdin or Flashfire apps...i guess, but i never tried them so i wouldn't recommend, if you have CWM recovery installed, you can try flashing a stock based ROM from development thread(if you like TW ROMs), you can also flash any custom ROM available for your model in the development thread.
