I am having an issue with cwm. when I go into rom manager i was able to succesfully flash it to my phone. Now when i reboot into recovery I get the android guy with a red exclamation point. sometimes I can get in but I cant reboot my phone from the menu and have to do a battery pull. I am able to flash .zip's and update the bootanimation for example if i get in. When I reboot from rom manager I get some error message that is stopped working before it reboots and again sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt.
should I push the recovery through the sdk again?
Yes, you should. I read that sometimes CWM won't stick if applied through ROM Manager.
There is a file on the nexus s and i believe the Gnex as well that will rewrite the stock recovery after a reboot. unless you change this file you have to flash the recovery every time you want to go into it. use a file manager and search for install-recovery i believe its install-recovery.sh and rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak ( or wtv ) may solve it.
I just did a quick search in root explorer and found a file called "install-recovery.sh"
it should be in the root folder/etc/install-recovery.sh
and i just tried going into CWM and got the same thing as the OP. I am going to rename the "Install-recovery.sh" file like Goat_For_sale suggested, then reinstall CWM and see what happens after a few reboots.
Standby.
*final* edit
So here is what I did.
1.renamed "install-recovery.sh" to "install-recovery.sh.bak" (located in the "etc" folder of the root) I used root explorer. Make sure you mount as writeable or else you cant change the file name.
2. rebooted phone as normal. went into Rom Manager and reinstalled CWM.
3. turned phone off, and booted into recovery and boom! CWM came up nicely.
Glad I found this thread, or I would have been annoyed when I go to flash a rom tonight and couldnt figure out why I wasnt able to get into CWM.
Good luck OP.
I hope you were able to resolve this issue. I was having the exact same issue and i followed the instructions in this thread and it corrected it and i havent had a problem since.

Now cwm seems to be working but when I hit to boot into recovery from rom manger it says that something has stopped working unexpectally but it seems to boot into recovery just fine.
If you follow the steps on the link that i posted, and make sure that you follow the step of deleting the file with Root Manager once you have moutned as RW then that should get you working. If you are still having issues with I would be happy to walk you through the process tonight over google talk once i get off of work.
Thanks Angelino I will try that today. I just havent deleted that file yet. Now since im rooted and already flashed cwm, i should just go into root manager delete the file and then do the fastboot and flash the recovery again?

I did try your method but it only partially works. I still get an error when trying to boot from rom manager.
It actually says superuser has stop working. Finally was able to read it.
I am having issues with my gnex and recovery. I am rooted and can run clockwork when I boot from the app. However when I run root explorer i can find any of the recovery files to delete or rename. They arent showing up in system or etc but when i restart my phone stock recovery is still there... ideas?

Hi,
I am using the Gnex root kit on this forum to unlock, root and install CMW.
All is working fine but every once in a while (especially after the two latest upgrade to 4.0.4) CWM disappears from my phone: is this normal?

An OTA will flash the stock recovery image back to your phone so you will lose cwm. Just reflash it and everything should be fine. Also you might need to delete the Recovery Restore files if they are present on your system or the Stock Recovery will be reflashed after a reboot.

-remount /system in read/write mode (use something like the Root Explorer app or ES File Explorer; both have root modes (check the app's settings) for remounting /system as writable)
-rename the /system/recovery-from-boot.p to /system/recovery-from-boot.p-bak
(note: you could delete it, but renaming is much safer since its easily reversible)
yes, it is easier to use a script, but in my opinion it is much better to know what is going on behind it.

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?

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.

I have just bought a S5660, and it cannot get rooted , I have used a few update.zip and used oneclick without success
here are the details:
baseband version: S5660XXKT6
android version : 2.3.6
kernel version [email protected]#1
build number: GINGERBREAD.XXKTI
can someone help me?
http://www.mediafire.com/?coocq359vv15w5p
Try this. Also , are you sure it`s not rooted ? Verify if superuser is installed or get a file manager like Root Browser Lite and try to access root files.
I am sure it is not rooted. Il will compare tonight the file you provide with the ones I got.
If you want to root your gio just install a rom

Hi,
I have used latest update.zip files to root my GIO. Maybe the way I do is wrong.
I have installed ROM Manager, I have rebooted my GIO in system recovery mode. But in the bottom of the screen and before applying update.zip there is a message:
--- Appling Multi-CSC --
Can't access to '/system/csc/MST/system'.
I can apply update.zip without any error message but it does not root the phone.

I have found what is going wrong, /system is full so binaries cannot be copied ...
If you see superuser then your phone is rooted. You can install this app as a rooted phone can only have it. It is Titanium backup. And uninstall Rom Manager, its useless for this phone and can cause you trouble.
I guess superuser is not totally installed, /system is full and su command is not present in xbin

There is an app called Root checker on the market, otherwise you can install apps like Titanium backup, coz if it is rooted then it will install this app.
I have installed Titanium backup and it says it cannot aquire root privileges ...
As I said /system is full so I guess there is not free space to copy binaries
Does anyone know how to clean up?
Hi everyone !
3 weeks ago I installed the Xperia UHD 4.0 rom on my arc s following the indicated steps except for the root (my phone was rooted with eroot). Then I tried to install Greenify has recommanded by jader, but i noticed it always failed at hibernating apps. So I checked if I still had my phone rooted, in 2 ways : via Root Checker app, and via a method with Connectbot (if you want to know search "is my phone rooted").
I realized my phone isn't rooted anymore but i have CWM installed (don't know why but i can boot in CWM...), so I'm asking :
- Is it safe to reinstall xperia uhd ? (since i'm not root anymore)
- Any idea to get root back ?
If anything is missing, just tell me i'll add it
EDIT : i tried to reinstall UHD 4.0 but now I'm stuck at the sony logo. If someone is able to help that would save my life
And i tried SEUS, which tells me I have the most recent firmware.
Try installing SuperSU and see if you can regain root access. UHD comes rooted so you don't have to do anything to your phone unless you uninstalled Superuser which will make you lose root...

I know, that's the point : I didn't uninstall anything ...
Yep ! So I've just downloaded and opened the app. It tells me to update binary, i had to choose between "Normal" installation and "CWM installation".
I tried "Normal" and I got a german message which basically said "Superuser has been detected and it may causes conflicts, do you want to try to remove it ?". I pressed no, and got "Installation failed".
Then I tried CWM installation. It tells me it's going to reboot in recovery, and if nothing happens access recovery manually.
Concretely, it reboots, but normally (and nothing happens). So if I reboot in recovery, I have to install SuperSU from SD (with the zip given in the xda thread) ?

I assume you mean reflash from recovery mode ("install zip from sd card"), without wiping data and without formating /system. I'm trying right now.
EDIT : I tried, but now i'm stuck at the Sony logo . Everything went well, except the reboot failed... If you know what to do, like taking out and in the battery and try rebooting, it would be cool...

If you're using UHD4, it should come as a AROMA installer. Just select upgrade from existing installation. You will keep your data this way.

That's what i've done, but as said previously, I'm now stuck at the sony logo... I am going to search for some kind of unbrick method using flashtool (i'm going to try to reflash the stock firmware, then reroot via eroot, and reinstall UHD 4.0).
Finally reflashed stock .587 and rerooted via eroot, worked like a charm ! Thanks for your help by the way !
