[Q] Why doesn't Clockworkmod replace stock recovery?

First of all I'd like to thank all of you guys helping us noobs to get the best out of our phones.
To the problem, I can't get the clockworkmod to replace the stock recovery. I've tried to install older versions with rom manager but it doesn't work. Does amon ra work for legend? Any other ideas that I can try?
I'm using azure nightly 0927

what are you trying to accomplish?

I want to be able to boot to a recovery where I can apply a backup. As it is now I get to the stock recovery screen when I push recovery in the bootloader.

Because the recovery partition is locked at all times and we need to wait for an engineering hboot or unrevoked forever to write to it.
Once this is accomplished you will be able to write a custom recovery image.

Are there any benefits in a custom recovery image, besides the HTC bootscreen?

Oh, thanks. But there's no option that lets me apply the backups I've done. Only the apply update.zip... Does that mean I can rename my latest backup to update.zip?

update.zip should be containing ClockWorkMod, so called fake flash. Flashing that should bring you the recovery screen with more options...

There are two files you have to flash in CWM/TWRP to have it available at any time. You don't even need a computer to install and test it. Be warned, though, it's really not worth it at it's current state.

Just to get everything clear, I flash the manta.zip, then the all devices.zip, and it will boot fine? As well can I just get back into twrp after to wipe and restore from nandroid backups?
Thanks in advance for the help

The dev preview installs CWM over TWRP it seems

Flash manta, then flash the armhf, then wipe and you're good to go. That worked for me and didn't mess with my sdcard at all. (obviously it does a 'factory reset' on the device though). Backup with TWRP and you're good to go.

Only if you do it using the Ubuntu install method, where it flashes the .imgs over top. If you install it via CWM/TWRP then it keeps whatever recovery you have on the device.

I flashed them both like you said, but it would just reboot my recovery when about 2/3 the way done with the armhf zip, and i tried just rebooting system but it just boots past google and sits at a black screen. Thinking i might have a bad download but nonetheless it was not a success on my end and im just back on android.
thanks anyways for the help, if anyone else hears of this issue and knows how to solve i would love to know.

because it is a temporary cwm so you should flash it again and again for use

There are two types of cwm
Temporary - for users of stock kernel or custom kernel that uses stock recovery
Permanent - cwm is built into the custom kernel & replaces stock recovery
if you want a permanent cwm flash a kernel with permanent cwm (see the kernel features in it's thread)

there has been a permanent cwm for galaxy y for years!!
there are two types of cwm
1 - tempory cwm zip
flash this in stock recovery to get to cwm - needs to be flashed each time you want to enter cwm
2 - permanent cwm
flash a custom kernel with cwm built in - this replaces stock recovery
If you want a permanent cwm just flash a kernel that has cwm built it!

thats exactly what i meant! the first option is hardly permanent, especially if you accidentally delete the .zip.
and what if someone doesn't want to flash kernels?
other phones have a .zip that you flash once and have cwm permanently. that's what i meant by a permanent cwm!

Then get another phone that has that function.
Remember, our phones are not godly, not everything-can-do phones. They are only bottom-range phones. Hardware and software limitations cause this issue. If you want to fix it, do it yourself.
But if you want to contradict yourself and say "I wanna stick to my little Y" then flash a kernel.
Which is essentially in a zip.
And then you get permanent CWM.
Problem solved.

other phones work in a different way - for example HTC phones have fastboot and a recovery totally different from a samsung galaxy y 5360
the only way in this phone to replace the recovery perminantly is to flash a kernel that has it

I flashed Philz from inside TWRP. I would suggest following the instructions for TWRP then flashing Philz from there. I know that works.

Is it possible to flash Philz via flashify? And what is loki or lokied?

There is a step by step guide for TWRP. Philz is based on ClockworkMod Recovery.

recovery broken
hello,
i was hoping anyone knew how to fix my twrp recovery. i thought it was broken because it kept telling "backup failed" so i tried flashing it again using flashify... but now wen i need to boot into recovery the lg logo appears for about a second, some white letters pop up at the top left of the screen and then the screen goes black with the back light on... i hope i can fix this... i dont have custom recovery now... can anyone help me...:crying:

Not that I know of. The files in the OP are flashable from an open recovery. I had flashed TWRP before I found this. I would not recommend using something like flashify. Use the step by step guide using adb to flash TWRP. After that use TWRP to flash this. The backups for this are huge so having USB OTG support Is very useful.

[Q] i can't use cwm with my l5 610

Hi,
I have, root, unlock bootloader and cwm but i have 2 problem before install any ROM (i m on 4.0.3 stock)
I cannot access cwm with volume- and power menu (it starts normally). If i use terminal with cmd "reboot recovery" it goes.
If i try to backup from cwm i have an error when it try to save system

i followed the guide but i think that the cwm attached was too old. Now i have put 6028 andò seems to be OK.
I still have problem in boot in cwm
Thank's

Hello chickygamon,
I can't access cwm too, but for another reasons. I hoped your threat could help me.
Well, my try, I understand you are trying to access cwm only pressing two bottoms, aren't you? If you want to access cwm through harwdware buttons you should to press three buttons: Power [on/off] mobile, volume- and "menu" button. (You can look up "boot into cwm recovery lg optimus l5" at youtube and see it.)
You are fortunate in accessing cwm from terminal, I can't.
About your backup, It's difficult for us to help you if we don't know what it is the error message. Please tell us what cwm says.
Regards

Hi Nesh89,
Have you tried that version for our model? Does it work fine?
I did the same than chickygamon, installed the last version (6.0.2.8) that was on clockworkmod web for our mobile model. I've had problems booting cwm too. I'd like to flash other cwm if I fix my bricked mobile.
Thanks
