After the OTA 3.2.1 update, CWM Recovery would just not install. After flashing the CWM recovery image on stock 3.2.1 and rebooting into recovery, I get the android guy with the exclamation mark. I saw another person in the CWM thread having the same issue.
I did flash CWM before on HC 3.2 successfully, but for some reason it is not working after the last OTA update.
Any thoughts ?
Any luck on this? I'm trying to root my Xoom 3.2.1 and have no idea what to do and looks like the one click tool has been removed...any direction is better than no direction ;-)
Thanks!!

I had this same issue yesterday.
Use adb and fastboot to manually install clockwork again...and then if you need to root you can use one click root.
I would give you the code for fastboot command but I'm not home.

Do not use one click root-you'll brick it.
Use the Univetsal Xoom Root.

well, it seems that you need to immediately boot up into CWM recovery after flashing it without letting your device boot up completely, then you need to root it from there to retain the CWM recovery. This worked for me.

Can you expand on this a little bit? I am on stock rom, rooted and unlocked, and running 2.6.36Tiamat_Xoom kernel and build HTJ85B.
IF i do the new update what do I need to do to keep root? Will I have to wipe everything?
Thanks

Yes. What I did is backup everything, flash back to stock, wait for my device to download and install the 3.2.1 update, and finally flash the recovery, root my device, and install the tachi kernel. Restored all my applications after making sure that everything is fine.
I know it looks like a long a process but google market applications restore saved me a lot of time.

To save even more time and get back your app data, first back up aps and data in Titanium Backup and make sure the backup is on your external sdcard, just to be safe. Then, after wiping, and once you have rebooted, reinstall TB and then run a batch restore of missing apps and data. It is much faster and better than letting google restore the apps.

Even simpler... fastboot flash just boot, system, and recovery stock images. Leave userdata alone. Allow the update. Don't worry about letting it fully boot.. let it.. no harm.. but no root.
Then flash CWM (using fastboot).. boot to recovery.. CWM univ root. Good to go. Or CWM a different kernel

Can someone please just give me a link to the easiest way for me to update my evo from froyo 3.7 to gingerbread? my phone is rooted with unrevoked and that's about it. I don't have any roms or anything crazy. the only rooted apps I use are the wi fi tether, cache mate, and titanium backup.
my phone keeps asking to download the OTA and I keep denying it. I tried searching but can't find what fits my situation.

You did the right thing, as updating will unroot you. You need to get a stock rom zip and flash it through recovery. Here is the zip you need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455340
Get the rooted one, either odexed or deodexed depending on what you want. Do not get the unrooted one, or you will obviously be unrooted.
Easiest would be to flash a ROM. Seems like you want to stay stock, so try this. Back up anything you may want with Titanium Backup, then boot into recovery. Wipe everything except for SD card twice, flash and then you're good to go.
Unless you would like to update radios too, which may be good. Download this, it contains all new radios. Wipe cache and dalvik, then flash it. It'll have a box with green arrow, then reboot into recovery. The follow the directions above.

Boot into recovery, you may want to update that as well. If you want to do that, search for Amon Ra in the dev section and use that - directions should be in the thread. I wouldn't normally suggest it, but since you're a basic user then you can also download Rom Manager & "Flash Alternate Recovery" from there.
From there do a nandroid backup, it should be pretty easy to find. In Amon Ra you'll want to back up system, boot, data, wimax, and .android_secure - ClockworkMod doesn't give you options. Then wipe. In Amon Ra you'll want to wipe boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, .android_secure, and SD ext. In CWM you'll want to do a factory reset and wipe data, cache, and dalvik. Dalvik is under advanced iirc.
Then go to flash zip, choose zip, select the file you're flashing and confirm.
It's a quick and dirty guide but it should get you through.
Before doing all of this you'll want to backup your apps and data with Titanium Backup. Restore them after the flash. If you need more assistance then pm me, I have a detailed write up somewhere of the exact step by step. I did it a while ago based on flashing and using Amon Ra 2.3 (the original AR), but download links and directions are in the file.
Good luck!

I tried to install a new rom after updating TWRP 2.3.0.0. after all was complete it stuck on the boot screen. I then tried with the Nexus Root Toolkit to use a restore from backup. Same problem. I then tried to flash stock and unroot. Same problem. I then tried a number of things through TWRP from backups I had their. Same problem. At present I have no OS and I can only boot into TWRP, turn if off or look at the GOOGLE screen. I have run out of ideas and would appreciate any help offered.
If you have tried everything else (flashing a ROM zip etc.) Then you should flash the factory image from Google.
Don't use the script/batch file as that will wipe your internal storage.
Just flash system and boot.

Sometimes a rom takes a long time to boot for the first time, please be very patient. Also, try wiping everything from /system, and then re install a custom rom from your /sdcard partition. also make sure your roms are for the nexus 7 not galaxy nexus or other similar devices. ONE MORE THING 4.1.2 wont flash with 4.1.1 bootloader.

I know many people hate the talk about toolkits but I was in the same situation and I used Wug's toolkit and it saved me. I downloaded 4.1.2 image directly from Google, as the toolkit only has 4.1.1.
I tried to return to stock on my own and it just went from bad to worse. I would of spent more time trying to fix it on my own but I was on a very tight time constraint. It will unroot your device but it is easy to root again.

If you have unlocked bootloader, download Nexus 4 image from here, unzip it to get the various factory images and then flash using fastboot. If you have locked bootloader, you will have to unlock it using
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
.
CAUTION: This will wipe all data.

yes, in cwm. wipe data then flash the rom. you can try just reflashing your rom first, without wiping data. if it still bootloops, then wipe data and reflash. flashing the system img via fastboit will wipe everything.

Since you aren't running the stock kernel, one of the kernel modules failed an md5sum check for a patch and the install stopped before attempting to patch a file that wasn't equal to what it was expecting.
a wipe data/factory reset in Recovery Mode can solve this bootloop, especially after you have just flashed a ROM.

Flashing from fastboot will automatically clear all data. There should be a system.img file. Flash it using
Code:
fastboot flash system system.img
But to make a clean install, I would recommend you flash all the factory images. Refer this for more detail.

Flashing the factory images will have restored the stock kernel.
If you are going to flash a factory image or anything like that, watch this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039162
after you flash that ROM, if your phone stucks in a bootloop, then go to Recovery, wipe cache and reset factory will solve the problem.

na, the kernel is always included in the rom. you flash a kernel if you want to use a different kernel(trinity is great with stock).

1. I wanted flash the new CM 10.2 on my LG G2 D802, I downloaded the mod, google apps and copied them to the internal memory of the phone, 2. then I booted into the recovery mod by the automated method(twrp), wiped the data and reset my device and when I tried to flash the rom and google apps, I couldn't find them.
3. I repeated step 1 and this time I didn't reset or wipe the data because I thought I might lose the files again. Then I queued up the rom and apps and flashed them and I rebooted the device.
5. But what I see is a round loading thing inside which CyanogenMod is written for about an hour now.
I am relatively new to these things, please help me.
What should I do now???
now when I try to turn the phone off, it starts automatically and I see the Cyanogenmod loading screen again.
