[Q] Need to fix permissions before installing in CWM recovery

Ever since I manually installed 4.0.2, I need to fix permissions in CWM before installing any zip files (radios, namely).
Otherwise I get failed attempt messages.
Anyone else need to do this?

Are you sure you need to fix permissions? Have you tried mounting the system? Sometimes zips won't install on my phone until I mount the system

[Q] Having trouble with CWR booting

I unlocked rooted and flashed recovery without any problems it seemed I used adb to fastboot flash maguro 5.5.0.2 then rom manager to upgrade recovery after I flash recovery in rom manager I can boot into it fine 1 time after that I get the Android on its back hence I have to flash recovery from rom manager everytime before I enter - any ideals what I've need to do to get this to work correctly - or can someone point me in right direction

There are two files that re-flash the stock recovery on every boot. You need to delete them, then reflash your CWM. They are:
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

I deleted the files wished I would have saved as bak then I could have received otas by restoring stock recovery and using rootkeeper anyway to put them back and set permissions

[Q] How to unencrypt phone?

I encrypted my phone the other day. How do I unencrypt it? I need to do it because I want to change rom.

If you are already rooted with a custom recovery installed you can "decrypt" your device by formatting your /data partition.

I think the app is confused. Root is installed in /system, so if it found root, then /system is mounted. Lots of things wouldn't work if /system isn't mounted

I ran into a similar problem when trying to root where recovery said system wasn't mounted. Fixed by stock restore and starting over

Flash stock recovery and do a system restore from there. Will bring it back to stock. Then use a kit to root and install recovery. Works lots better

TWRP won't decrypt device

Using an encrypted tablet and when trying to make recoveries it wants to mount and decrypt the system but it keeps telling me it failed. Any ideas?
