Hey, I just rooted my vibrant with Superoneclick and backed it up with Titanium. Then I downloaded ROM Manager and clicked flash clockwork mod recovery and then clicked reboot into recovery. But I get the blue text even after clicking reinstall packages two times. Could someone please help me I'm new at this.
I think 2.2 has a locked bootloader. Use ODIN to go back to stock 2.1 and then root and use CWM recovery. After that you can flash whatever you like.
Use this guide here and you will be alright.
Doesn't have a locked bootloader. Make sure update.zip got put on your sdcard in the root directory.
If not you can use the one I've linked.

You can just use Odin to flash a voodoo kernel. Did the same on my girlfriends phone this weekend and that solved.

Hi there,
yesterday succesfully rooted my device using the insecure boot image.
Today booted and also flashed the new CWM recovery image but now, when booting into recovery only get an android logo and the text "no command" ?
Any ideas ? Flashed back to original recovery image but no change either ?
Root remains though and working fine.
Thanks

Not true read here again :
UPDATE: There is an official ClockworkMod recovery for Nexus 4 now available directly by Koush, so this should all be easy as pie now and you can now safely install CWM too. I am updating the CWM method with the updated instructions.

It seems tonight clockwork will release a new version with bugfixes which should make recovery working when flashed also.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
New clockworkmod recovery 6.0.1.8 had been released and I can confirm myself that it is working perfectly and stays when flashed !
You can download it here and follow the instructions as written here.
Good luck !
excellent, i was waiting for someone to confirm before flashing it myself
(looks like this thread is just a party for the two of us, wooohooo, let's find the hidden alcohol)

Meanwhile a newer 6.0.1.9 is released as well, which will hopefully also fix the backup being in the wrong location and not usable
CWM is fixed. Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995440
6.0.1.9 is the one i flashed and I'm still looking for my backup :s
n7'd from my n7
Disregard this post! It was meant for LBE which is a Virus or acts like one (Newest version that was translated)
I'm having the "no command" message as well. I've flashed CWM 6.0.2.3 no-touch (following this guide), and it doesn't seem to be sticking. It'll work the first time, but then revert to the "no command" screen. I've also tried flashing the stock recovery, and then I receive the same message. I have an unlocked bootloader, and I managed root via the same guide. Anybody have any ideas?

From efrants android 101 sticky:
I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?
If you updated your Android build using an OTA update file (either manually or over-the-air), the update placed two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you reboot your device. These two files are:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh <== this is the script that installs the patch file
/system/recovery-from-boot.p <== this is the patch
You have to rename (or delete) one or both of them, then re-flash your custom recovery. Now it will stick.

Perfect! Thank you! I had just previously downloaded 4.2.1, and so renaming recovery-from-boot.p did the trick. I had to remount my /system as read/write (used Total Commander, and it worked like a charm.

No Command recovery problem
Hello im using a Canvas Magnus A117 its an amazing phone i rooted it but wanted to install chainfire 3D on it but it didnt work and now my phone is bricked. I tried flashing a custom rom but in recovery when i click on apply update from sdcard it says No command. with a dead android and a red triangle with !. So i cant use any feature in the Recovery mode and my phone is bricked. What do i do?
Hey guys I'm new to android had an iPhone for 6 years. Just got the gs4 two months ago. I rooted the phone took out bloat ware apps using titanium back up. Have a few other rooted apps. Got Interested in ROMs and kernels so did some research looked around on here to how to do it. I downloaded infamouses newest ROM. I have ROM manager and I downloaded cwm recovery through the Rom manager. When I go to back up my current ROM and everything it boots into recovery mode but it isn't cwm recovery. The emblem doesn't come up and I believe its the stock recovery. My question is how can I get the cwm recovery so I can back up my current ROM and then wipe it and install the new one. I'm new so sorry if this is easy or anything I appreciate all the help
Download goo manager and let it install twrp then just flash cwm thru twrp . Or keep twrp and remember to flash loki doki if needed.
Wait!
What firmware is your phone currently on? MDL OR MF3?
If MF3, stop now. Do not flash anything.

Okay I figured out the problems. When I hit reboot and superuser is supposed to grant root permissions an error comes up saying superuser has stopped working then goes into the stock recovery mode. The only thing I found with MDL in it was the baseband version 1337UCUAMDL
Your safe to continue flashing custom recovery on MDL Baseband

Going on the information you have given, if you are doing right and using the correct version for your phone, GooManager and TWRP should be working for you. However, if you go to the development section and look for OUDHS CWM recovery, directions are given in the OP about how to manually install that recovery. Again, directions are in that thread about how to do it. I do hope you are reading all of every post that contains something you are trying to do (in other words, if you use OUDHS, read the entire thread first). Good luck.

Hey thanks for the help. I got twsp recovery through goo manager and worked perfectly. I'm having such a bad experience trying to install this rom. I went into the recovery mode after backing up my current rom and system. I wiped everything out then went into my sd card amd installed the zip that is listed in the infamous page in the developers part. I hit install and then said I'm not rooted and would I like to install superuser. I slide the thing and then went to reboot and now has been stuck saying samsung and custom with an open love under it. Pulled the batter went back into twsp and tried to reboot and still stuck. This is all after I thought I installed the rom already and nothing changed except wiped my phone. Can anyone help

Are you installing loki doki after the rom ?
Hello, first time poster. I recently tried rooting my phone using CWM method. I'm running sph-l720 with software version vpaumf9 and android version 4.2.2. I installed CWM (this version SPH-L720 OUDHS Recovery) with odin with success. Then flashed SuperUser v.099. Everything went smooth until I opened up super user and tried to install binaries and it says "Install failed". I'm wondering if I didnt have the wrong beginning firmware and i needed to (but didnt) install that pre-kernel. I'm also wondering if I have to download the original firmware and have to flash to stock in order to "unroot" even though I didnt finish the SuperUser process, or is their a way to delete the super user app and try to install it again using the same CWM i have already on the phone. I hope this isn't confusing. I'm not a complete novice to rooting, but no expert. I rooted my galaxy s2 but went to Iphone for a while, but now I'm back and a little dissapointed with myself at this fail. Any suggestions? Do i have to go to stock first? Was I using the wrong files for my initial firm ware and need the pre kernel? Am I blabbering on? (yes) Thanks in advance.

Grap CF-Autoroot from here
Follow the instructions here:
Boot back to phone. Open up SU and update binaries.
Then
Go to Playstore and download/install GooManager
Open GooManager and then press the 'menu' button (capicitive button next to Home Button) and choose to install recovery (I like TWRP).
Then let it do it's thing.
If you'd like a real easy way to get 'into recovery mode' from the phone I use the Quickboot app
Also make sure that if you are going to flash ANY ROMs you follow the instructions the developer suggests - many suggest specific recoveries be used

thank you! do i need to do anything before i do this? (Like using odin to revert back to stock?)
i ask because i already have CWM installed
I did the auto root, and open SuperSU and it doesnt ask to update binaries...does that mean it is already done. I didnt find the option in the settings.

As long as your on some kind of TW/Stock based ROM you should be Okay.
However if you want to go back to straight (AND ROOTED) stock you can use one of rwhilco12's 'one-click' restores.
The one click downloads as a zip. decompress and then run the one -click. If you've never run a oneclick read here
It will give you a stock ROM, rooted, MF9 Modem, Stock recovedry, and Stock kernel. You'll then have to use GooManger method to get custom recovery.

man thanks so much. so i definitly got super user access. I'm about to do the goo manager. since you suggested the twrp i think i'm going to try that. since i have CWM recovery installed, do u think that will create any issues if I go to install TWRP from goo manager
actually i googled and it seems that goo manager will seamlessly overwrite cwm. sorry for the questions before searching. appreciate the help. i almost didn't come on here, which would of lead me to reverting to stock, doing cwm again, then being upset that i needed twrm for most roms lmao. I owe u one. If u ever need to learn how to make bad decisions, just shoot me a pm. I got u covered.
No it will just replace it.
I actually (and many around here too) prefer TWRP 2.5.0.2.
You can download the zip for that here, boot to recovery you have now (CWM) and then install that. Or use Goo to install lates TWRP and boot to recovery and then install zip and choose the 2.5.02 you downloaded and then save to your sd card
scratch what i posted here. I ended up having to download ROMmanager and update CWM, then used CWM to install the zip you provided me. thanks so much man. Do you have a favorite stable ROM you recommend using TWRP. I value your advice

Glad you got it.
As for ROMs you really have to try them out for yourself. There are some really great TW ROMs ; Sacs, negalite, triforce and others. For CM/AOSP there are a whole bunch to choose from. I mess with just about all of them. But my daily driver has to be one hundred percent working and reliable so for that I'm usually on a stock debloated and modified TW ROM. Take some time to read through the OPs of the devs and just as importantly through the follow up posts to see what works what doesn't ahs how to fix or get what you need.
Good luck

I can't get a custom recovery install to work. I've been at it for hours and I need to go to bed. For some reason, I can't install a custom recovery on my USA AT&T i337. I'm going to list what I've tried, it will be easier:
Installing TWRP through TWRP manager (TWRP manager crashes while flashing, soft brick)
Installing TWRP through Flashify (says it worked, then soft brick on reboot)
Installing CWM Touch through ROM Manager (says it worked, even shows version of currently installed recovery, soft brick on reboot)
Install/root with CASUAL (says it worked, soft brick on reboot)
I've never had this much trouble getting a custom ROM onto a new phone. Any idea what's going on? Seems like everything I read applies to everyone but me.

Looks like you are reading the wrong stuff.
If you have newer firmwares, cwm and twrp will not work. The ONLY working recovery is safestrap.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Are there only certain ROM's I can flash with safestrap? I flashed SlimKat and didn't have wifi, then tried CM10 and couldn't get past the boot screen. This is the most trouble I think I've ever had with a new phone o_0 thanks for the help though.
EDIT: found the list, ignore dumb obvious question.
