Cannot find recovery-from-boot.p - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello. I'm not eligible to post in the development section so I'm posting it here instead. So I've unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone via the GNex Toolkit 3.0. My next step is flashing CWM but since I'm keeping my stock rom, I need to delete recover-from-boot.p from /system.
However, I can't find this file anywhere in the /system folder. I'm using root explorer, btw. Should I just go ahead and flash CWM and not worry about the stock recovery coming back?
Thanks in advance.

flash a custom rom, every custom rom has it removed(or flash a rooted stock/aosp).

Only ota puts the files there; if you flashed a factory image, then the files ain't going to be there. If they aren't there, can't delete them. Why would you want to put them there again? lol
Dump that toolkit and do it proper. Also, search/dig through q&a before posting.

I have custom ROM (Minco v5). If there is no that file why I must flash recovery every time at phone reboot?

clockworkmod has a new feature that gives the option to disable "recovery from boot" on the first restart from it.
however, what commands are you using to flash your recovery?
it must be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-image.img

Cant enter recovery

my phone will not boot into recovery mode through CWM or by powering off and manually starting it. I get a dead android with a red triangle and ! sign, how can i fix this?

That is the stock recovery. You need to permanently flash CWM (a.k.a. a custom recovery) for you to get into it.

If you are rooted, you need to check the CWM thread for the file to delete through root explorer and then re-flash CWM to get it to stick.
Or use rom manager to flash it.

Ah yea, good point.

Or re-flash your recovery from fastboot, then boot into it, and install whatever ROM you wanted.
OR don't flash cwm at all, just 'fastboot boot cwm.img', allow it a few seconds to enter cwm, then do your thing, flash your rom/much needed zips, reboot and you're good to go.
this world is all about choice ain't it?

I agree. This option will let you boot into cwm once. when you finish there and reboot your nexus will wipe every trace of cwm. When you need it again just use the same trick again.

Before anybody suggests I use search - I DID search, and it brought me to this thread.
Background: After unboxing my shiny new GNex last week, I immediately flashed stock yakju IMM76D using GNex Tookit.
So ... let me make sure I understand this. With stock recovery, when I fire up fastboot and select recovery, it is NORMAL to get the little dead robot with a red triangle above him? And the only way I've found to get out of it is to pull the battery? Seems odd.....
(I did temporarily flash CWM via the Toolkit and it worked fine. I don't want to leave it on as I understand it will prevent me from getting future OTA updates.)
As long as you run stock ICS, you'll always get that error upon every boot, even if you rename/delete the "boot-from-recovery.p" or whatever. The only solution is to flash a custom ROM and that error will be permanently gone.
At least what I've read and heard and what it's like for me.
If you get that error, your phone will reboot after a minute or so, but like I said it should be gone after flashing a custom ROM.

no.
you delete the file, then flash CWM.
it is not a error. that is the stock recovery and if you press vol up and vol down (might have to press power too) it should get you a menu.

I renamed it, it should be the same as doing away with it. However, upon rebooting, I faced that triangle. I ran stock 4.0.4 by the time.
you still have to reflash CWM after deleting/renaming the file.

Step-by-step:
1) Delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p (need root of course).
2) Delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (need root of course).
3) Check to make sure that the above files no longer exist.
4) Flash CWM AFTER making sure the above files are not present on your system.
5) Reboot.

Just for additional info, those files are not present on any original stock ROMs. They are added to a stock ROM if that stock ROM is updated, i.e., OTA update. They serve no purpose but to re-flash the stock recovery (i.e., which is the android lying on its back with the red !) On every boot of your device.

Ah, ok.
Speaking of nothing, what's the real deal with no OTA's available for yakju users? Is Google really working on fixing the notorious signal-drop issue?

Who knows? I personally don't care, and no one else should either, as:
1) the OTA update file to IMM76D is availability for any yakju user to install,
2) the full IMM76D image is available to install,
3) the IMM76D source has been pushed to AOSP.
Those are three options for you to get IMM76D on your device, with the first one being the same as an OTA update.
For me, IMM76D runs perfectly fine, and better than ICL53F.

ok you need to have clockworkmod installed...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(insecure boot.img)
unzip boot.img.zip, boot to bootloader and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or flash JRN84D-insecure-boot.zip from recovery
-put the CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod.zip on your sd and flash
done. :good:
if you have problems...
flash Koush's Jellybean repack (IMM76I OR IMM30D) http://d-h.st/Gkh
If recovery isn't sticking for you, delete recovery-from-boot.p in /system
I can do this for the other superuser as well...this is chainfire's super su

Worked like a charm, I've got clockwork back after a little adb action and now I'm restoring some apps with titanium. Can't wait to see the development on this. Just think I almost sold this phone and bought a Galaxy S3 today, may wait a week or so now.

Is there a reason why my CWM won't stick? I fastboot a new one in and right after, I can access CWM from the bootloader menu if I don't boot into the OS yet. However, once I do boot into the OS and use ADB to reboot into recovery, it goes back to the Android with the red triangle.
What am I doing wrong? I'm usually pretty good with this stuff.

still doesn't work, do you think you can try the other SuperUser app? D:

Can't start ClockworkMod (URGENT)

I've installed it correctly but once i boot into recovery I just get a picture of android with a warning sign being pulled out of his stomach...
so im with factory reset phone in the middle of flashing a new rom and can't continue
I really don't know what's wrong bud you may need to use a toolkit or a program to fast boot your device back to stock. Which version of the nexus do you have?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?
If you update your Android build either 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.

Don't delete the files, simply rename them. If you ever want to get back to stock recovery (for instance, for an OTA to install you need it to be stock) you can simply name it back to original and reboot.

JB-MR1 Help!

Hi all, I was on AKOP's milestone ROM before trying to flash their newest one. I did not do anything to the kernel or anything by the way.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 and I rebooted into recovery and flashed super dark side wipe and then JB-MR1 and then gapps.
I went through the entire start up process with inputting your information and then finally I got into the actual home screen. I clicked around to see how the UI looked and then decided to reboot through the menu.
It was in the rebooting animation icon for at least 30 min before I decided to pull the battery. I want to wipe and start again but my cwm recovery isn't installing anything.
EDIT: The phone still works as I can boot into the phone and use it. I'm trying to reboot now: power button hold>reboot, but its taking ages still...need help on this reboot thanks
Any help here?
EDIT 2: Pretty much phone is "functional" but any method of trying to reboot or reboot into recovery fails
Thanks all!
Check the Md5 hash to make sure it is a good download.
Otherwise it sounds like it is CWM that can be causing issues.
Which version of gapps are you flashing?

Checked the Md5 with an app and it matches up perfectly with akop's main website.
I'm running 6.0.2.8 cwm. Is it even possible that its cwm? I used the same version to flash AKOPs new ROM.
and im flashing gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
Does it have anything to do with my kernel?
You aren't supposed to use super wipe with cwm 6. That is probably your problem.

Thanks so much for pinpointing the problem! Is there a fix to this?
And is this the recommended method of flashing? (Taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754):
1. Wipe factory data/reset
2. Wipe cache
3. Go into mounts and storage
4. Format /system
5. Format /data
6. Format /cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Wipe dalvik
9. Flash ROM then gapps
10. Reboot and let the ROM settle for 5-10 minutes if flashing TW ROMs, this step is unnecessary for AOSP based ROMs.
11. (Optional) if flashing a new radio flash AFTER the ROM has been initially booted for the first time. No wipes are necessary when flashing a new radio but it HAS to be flashed after the ROM is loaded and settled in. Flashing a radio first and then a ROM has caused issues like the phone not even recognizing there is a network for it. ( phone remains in emergency mode )

Pretty sure my phone is bricked now... in a continuous boot up loop... BUT i can still access recovery

Yes, those are the proper flashing instructions for CWM6.
It sounds like you have a soft brick. I think your best bet is to Odin back to stock. Have a look here:

Stock kernel is just fine.
Odin will flash the stock OS to your phone from the computer. Make sure to read the Odin directions a few times before trying it because it could hard brick if something goes wrong.

From the first post of that thread you will need
1. The prerequisites
-Odin
-Drivers
-Kies(dunno if this is mandatory but I guess it couldn't hurt.)
2. T-Mobile t989 uvlhi stock ROM(Odin)
You will need some type of zip software to extract the files from this.
3. Follow the steps under Installation - Odin installation(skip step 1)
After you get the stock ROM running you can install custom recovery and then flash your custom ROMs.

You are welcome. You are now unrooted so you have to download the recovery of your choice to the internal SD card and flash it from the stock recovery. After you reboot back into recovery you can flash a ROM and you will be rooted.

[Q] Need help ASAP! CWM problem.

Hey guys, this is my first post on XDA forum.
So I've recently bought a nexus 7, I used wugfresh's root kit to root my nexus but then it didn't work... so I've tired the auto root by chainfire. Then I was able to get root. So then I went to playstore and downloaded rom manager to install CWM. I went to recovery then I get this message:
E : Cant mount /cache/recovery/log etc.....
I've tried everything I can do such as researching, changing recovery, and watching a youtube tutorial but nothing helped.
Thanks.
I would start over from scratch using fastboot to flash a factory image and stock recovery. If your bootloader isn't unlocked already, unlock it.

DO NOT USE TOOLKITS. They cause too many problems. Learn to do things the proper way using fastboot. I agree with the poster above, you should flash a factory image to start over. Download the system image from here- https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You need to unlock your bootloader-
Code:
fastboot OEM unlock
Then run the flash_all.bat. That will automatically wipe and reflash everything to get you back to square one.
Then you need to flash TWRP (don't use CWM)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
TWRP will automatically prompt you to flash SU when you reboot. Choose yes, reboot, then install SuperSU from play store, update the SU binaries, reboot again, and then you're done.

TWRP will automatically prompt you to flash SU when you reboot. Choose yes, reboot, then install SuperSU from play store, update the SU binaries, reboot again, and then you're done.

I highly advise you start from scratch so do what I told you to do in my last post. I promise if you do it the correct way (ie. without using toolkits) it will work.

It's in the file that you should have downloaded from the link I posted in my first post. The instructions are at that link as well.

Hey I tried the following:
oem lock
oem unlock
flash-all/flash_all.bat
flash recovery(TWRP)
but then when I reboot into TWRP I don't get a message saying you to install SU... And when I go to 'Install' in TWRP I don't see any internal storage available(0mb). With this error I cant install any roms which is boring.

Hmm... Can you even boot into the stock ROM at this point? Try formatting /data (done in TWRP). Did the system image flash successfully?

Well then I don't know what to tell you at this point. I know Lollipop has been causing issues for some N7 users, but I also know that wugs toolkit causes problems too so honestly I'm not sure what the root of your issue is. I think someone with more experience with Lollipop is gonna have to chime in here, I'm still on 4.4.4 on all of my devices. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, you can only flash custom ROMs if you have a custom recovery.
