I installed CWM recovery on my G2 and it keeps booting up automatically and I don't like that when I charge it so I want to remove it. What's the best way to remove it or flash stock recovery without losing data? Thanks all!
Try selecting shut down via clockwork menu, it should power device down while still connected to ac

I really appreciate your help, but I kinda just want it off my phone completely as I have Autism and it bothers me a lot :\. I am very OCD about this kind of stuff and I just want my phone to turn completely off by itself. Thanks for all your help
Yeah, have the exact same error, I can't even calibrate my battery as it never shut down ...

On the sticky about how to revert back to stock there is the stock recovery image. Just flash that and your done. However i seem to recall the reboot thing being a know issue for the hboot? I might be totally wrong about that though. One other thing make sure your really rooted and true s off with the gfree method if you still want root and custom stuff.

I might be the only person who actually likes that it goes into recovery when plugged into usb and off. No stupid button combinations to remember. Personally the only time my phone is off is when it's dead. Otherwise it's 24/7 operation. To each his own though. I'm sure there is a guide on how to remove the recovery in the android development section.

Use this recovery. It is the stock eng-recovery. Its the stock recovery, but has adb enabled in it, just incase something goes wrong at somepoint it might be your window back in...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834627
Put it in your sdk folder, boot into fastboot, then use the fastboot cmd in that post.
@gunlance, I'm the same way, but we all have different ways of using our phones...

There isn't one. You either have to stay with the phone powered on in Clockwork and charging, or flash back to the stock recovery (e.g. if you have fastboot/adb working, then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", where recovery.img is a stock recovery image from the stock ROM).

If everything has been idle for a few minutes, I would first try running unrevoked again, right from the screen with the triangle (that's recovery screen, you just don't have a custom recovery yet). If that fails, then shut the phone off and boot to the bootloader. See if its S off or S on. If its S off, you just need to flash a recovery. If it's S on, I would RUU and then try Unrevoked again. Let us know if its S off or S on.

Mmmm, is the phone any diff, e.g. Superuser App, ROM manager installed? Or still completely unrooted. Either way, might try again.

showed s-off, but then i tried rebooting to recovery and red arrow, then turned off, booted to bootloader and red arrow, then waited a few mins and then phone booted up to system
If you have rom manager on the phone now, try opening it and clicking "Flash Clockwork Recovery."
unrevoked is still staying at waiting for system to settle, why is this? it usually goes away after like 30 seconds.

Okay, you just need to install recovery. As jlstafford said, if you use rom manager, select flash recovery. If that gives you trouble (depends if unrevoked got Super User installed before it failed), then u need to flash a PC36IMG of recovery. Let us know.

Just be patient with it for a few minutes. I've had that take af ew minutes before. Also, something could be interfering with it, such as anti virus, pda net, doubletwist, htc sync, etc. Who knows. The bottom line is that if you're S off already, you really don't need to run unrevoked again. You can finish it yourself, manually. Put this PC36IMG(amon ra 2.3) on the root of your sd card. Boot to your bootloader. Let it update, by selecting volume up. WHen it finishes, boot to recovery. You should now have recovery. From that point, wipe and flash a rom if desired.

Download the file I just attatched . Put it on the main directory of your sd card, not in any folders. Don't rename it, just download it and put it on hte card. When it's on your card, pull your battery out. Put the battery back in, then hold volume down and power button. You should get to the bootloader, and it should wait a few seconds, then scan the card, find the PC36IMG, and ask you to update. Select yes when it asks you. Then when it asks you to reboot, select NO. Then from the bootloader menu, select recovery. What happens? DO you get to recovery successfully now?
EDIT: and this is assuming you are indeed S off. You said you were S off, for sure right?
I was trying to get him to flash a recovery not in bootloader, since it seemed like he couldn't get to hboot or recovery. Although, he may be able to now.
after unrevoked reboots SU is not in the app drawer like it usually is

Right, I agreed with you on that, and suggested that he use ROM Manager to flash recovery as well. However then his next response was that he was trying to use Unrevoked again. He must be able to get to the bootloader, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see if he was S on or S off. Also, depending how far Unrevoked got before it failed, it may or may not have installed the Super User App. If it didn't get that far, he probably won't be able to use ROM Manager, as it wont be granted SU. If that's the case, a PC36IMG should work, and isn't hard, as long as your volume buttons and power buttons function!

I was concerned of that. If you are S off, please download the PC36IMG I attatched and follow the instructions. It should work man, as long as that bootloader is S off. Have you tried that yet? What was the result? The critical part you are missing right now is Recovery. If you can get recovery, you can then flash a rom, which will have Super User app and busybox included anyways. You just need recovery.
I got it, it was a bad download of unrevoked.

Two days ago I noticed that my Hox powers on itself after it´s full charged (powered down manually). Running ViperX 2.7.1 with stock kernel. Didn´t change anything. Don´t know why it powers on... is there any option in the viper rom for such a behaviour? Couldn´t find anything that would cause auto booting my device. Any ideas?
i think this is related to kernel and its modules, many people reported this before, and there is no option in viperx (as far as i know) that causes this.
It's due to clockworkmod.

Nope. It's cwm.

You can always have stock recovery then just use fastboot to load the recovery without flashing it, I used to do this when cwm didn't allow offline charging.

This also allows you to use adb, also used before they fixed USB mounting.

Thanks for your replies! To use stock recovery I must remove/disable CWM, right? Don´t know what is meant with recory.img you mentioned above. Could you explain that more detailed? I´m familiar with CWM from the first time I rooted my device, so I have no idea what´s stock recovery

You would need to flash stock recovery, look about the forum's.
Recovery.IMG refers to the name / location to the recovery image.
If it was saved in a c://fastboot/stock/recovery.IMG
You would use
fastboot flash recovery /stock/recovery.IMG
Or to boot that image
fastboot boot /stock/recovery.IMG
Obviously these are just examples.

Hi,
This may be a stupid question but I'm new to Samsung phones so I don't know all the details (I've only been using HTC so far).
So I've followed all the steps and got root fine. However, I tried to reboot into recovery afterwards and it's like Clockworkmod has vanished.... It just gets into what looks to me like the stock recovery. Am I doing something wrong or does the phone automatically restore its stock recovery???
Also, can someone explain to me if it is possible to manually flash a recovery from the img file using fastboot like you do on HTC phones?
Oh, and another thing. What's this Odin thing? I never used anything like that with HTC...
Thanks

May I ask what variant you are using? GT-i9195?
Then please boot your phone into download mode, this can be done by first switching of your phone completely then holding the power button, home button and volume down button until the download screen appears where you press continue. Once you have done that connect your phone using the usb cable and make sure all drivers have been installed! Once the drivers are installed start up Odin uncheck the f.rest time box and click the AP section and then select the recovery file provided by Sir Arco in the root thread.
If you need more help please ask, If it worked then still reply
Odin is the software used to flash files to Samsung phones.
You will need to catch the first recovery boot after flashing the recovery image, or else the stock recovery will be reflashed once the phone boots up. Just reflash the recovery via Odin and make sure to boot into recovery right after the phone reboots after the flash.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I kind of realized that's what's happening. I've managed to boot into the custom recovery right after the flash and did what I had to do in there, but then after I reboot the phone again, the custom recovery is gone. Is there a way to stop stock recovery being reflashed automatically?
Also, if I want to install a custom kernel, how can I backup the current one so that I can restore it at a later date if I need to? I know how to do this on HTC phones but it all seems to be a bit different on Samsung and I don't want to mess up anything.
How did you reboot? If you select the reboot option in the CWM recovery,it should follow with a question on whether you want to continue rebooting with reverting to stock recovery or not.

Umm... yeah, I think it did ask but I just accidentally pressed no before reading what it said... So I guess I'll just have to flash the recovery again and then answer yes to that question.

Sorry posted in general by mistake:
Some info,
I unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp.
I restarted the device and everything was working. I then entered twrp but I forgot to place supersu binary on hte device so I thought to use adb sideloading to get it on...
Thats when my phone got bricked. It failed (saying something about adb server wrong version then adb client);
I disconnected my phone but now it wont turn on/off, charge or do anything.
Any ideas? I tried charging it, tried going back into fastboot but no response.

Yes. Recovery is the only thing that works. I hold the three buttons at the sane time and it boots iqnto twrp. Reboot system, reboot bootloader doesn't work. It just boots into recovery again and again.
It all happened when I was taking the backup of the stock ROM. The recovery had some bug which prevents it from turning on the screen after screen timeout. Then it was bricked.
I didn't try flashing any rom zips, since there's no ROMs for this device and I can't find a stock ROM anywhere.

Recovery boot loop occurs whenever you reboot directly to the recovery. Always boot to recovery from fastboot (menu) and you can avoid recovery boot-loop in future.
Anyway, what is your device model...OS build..Lollipop?
Hey all, little embarrassing coming here for this, but I'm in a little bit of a jam. I'm new to flashing custom ROMs, and I was trying to flash my first today, and managed to screw everything up in the process. I can boot into Clockwork mod via my PC, and I can still do everything I need to from there, but I was stupid, and didn't make a Nandroid backup before doing so. So I was wondering if anyone here could lend me theirs that I could slap onto an SD card, and recover my phone with. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Just so we're clear, this isn't an attempt to get personal information. I will take any backups you have, with or without an unlocked bootloader, with or without rooting, with or without custom ROM, anything. Heck, I'd prefer to have it as close to stock as possible, so I can do everything myself. I just need a bit of a bailout here.
Shameful self-bump. I could still really use some help here.

EDIT: Nevermind, seems I ADB recognizes the device with CWM running. Now I gotta see where to go from there.
Now I've encountered problem number 2: I didn't allow USB debugging for the computer I'm using (USB debugging is ticked in the settings [or at least I think it is], but it's not authorized for my PC). So here's the question: Can I authorize it through Minimal ADB and Fastboot?
Triple post, but it's with a question. I'm nearly positive that this whole ordeal is going on because I tried to boot into recovery mode with the TWRP app when no recovery was available. So now the question is, is there any way I can stop the phone from trying to boot into recovery so I can install a proper one?
Turn it off, then press volume up + power when vibrates, release power while holding volume up, then release volume up as well, it should boot into bootloader where you can fastboot a new recovery.
