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?

wierd. I havent had a problem yet. Hope u get it figured out.
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?

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.

Good Morning XDA!!!
I went through the Odin Rooting process last night and everything went as planned. I downloaded CWM Manager through Google Play and when I go to open it up it is telling me that the Super User file is not there. I have put Super USer on my phone but again it tells me I need to root my phone. I will admit I am a bit confused, I can boot into CWM mode but since I am not flashing a new rom at the moment I don't know what I did wrong. I did go into the CWM manager to "Flash ClockworkMod Rocovery" but it downloads then tells me there was na error with command lines..........Is there anyone who can help me out.....I really don't get where I went wrong, cause everything says I rooted the phone.....Thanks for any help......

Yes I did but it also was telling me that it wasn't rooted.....however the only thing that I had was the Superuser App. Is there something i need on the SD card? Or to psychically flash to the phone.....thanks for getting back to me with this....
Go into Settings>Apps>Superuser and clear cache and data. Go into the market and go to SuperUser and see if there is an update. This should update the binaries. Then try a Root App to see if you get the SU toast.
2nd option is to boot into recovery and go to wipe /Cache then advanced and wipe /Dalvik-Cache. While in Advanced, hit Fix Permissions and let it run. Reboot and try a Root App.
Btw, you never said how you rooted. Your title says Odin, so I am assuming mrRobinson's method.

Sorry about that......I used the method from this site....http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-t-mobile-easy-root-99302/
It did everything that was explained was supposed to happen.....its just I get the feeling I missed something somewhere.....I hope this helps....I haven't rooted anything in years.....lol
Ok, so you downloaded ROM manger from the market and tried to run the recovery script and it is saying that you don't have Root correct?
I agree, I think that you did miss a step somewhere. I suspect it was in between the CWR and SuperUser zips.
Are you familiar with Odin? I assume so since your first post said you Odin'd, but just double checking. I suggest you either start over from the link you posted or try mrRobinson's method. It is real easy and gives you stock ROM, rooted and has the option to install a custom recovery (like CWR or TWRP) also.
Here are Odin versions of both CWR and TWRP. Do this after you've done mrRobinson's method. Once it is done with first reboot (don't forget this take the longest time to boot bc it is rebuilding the /Dalvik), reboot back into download mode and flash either CWR or TWRP that way and you should be good to go after that.

The last phone I rooted was a Mytouch 4G. I am not familiar with Odin. I just went to the site that I posted in my last reply and followed the directions exactly. I only downloaded the IMG file for ClockworkMod that it supplied. It never told me to install or download a SuperUser zip file. I can boot the phone into CWM after shutting down, but when I open the CWM Manager that I downloaded from Google Play it tells me the following:
" You must root your phone for ROM Manger to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
I am a uber novice. That's strike one....two....I'm a girl.....lol I just don't want to mess up my phone....it was really expensive......lol Thanks again for all the help you are giving me......it is greatly appreciated......
Ok then. I think you missed something then.
Let's do this. You want to download the latest version of Odin (It is here aboout half way down). Install it on your PC.
Then go to mrRobinson's thread and download this This is based off of the stock image TMO T999UVALH2
Perm Mirrorownload - MD5 Sum: 4abdcf029f248e66caa83c9c8477bdff root66_TMO_T999UVALH2.7z
and follow the directions. Unzip it and put the Root66 file on you PC where you know it is. Put your phone in Download Mode (see instructions in the link above on how to do this) and open Odin.
Click PDA in Odin and point it to Root66 file from above and make sure that nothing else is ticked above or below PDA. Click start. It should take about 5mins but less than 10 and you'll reboot and have a Pass.
Once that is done and your phone is rebooted, you can either install CWM or TWRP in odin or from the market. CWR= ROM Manager app; TWRP=Goo.IM app. Those will install your custom recovery.
Above all read the OPs f the threads I linked. They have valuable info in them.
Also, just because you are a girl has nothing to do with it. I know a few girls and women that are power users and will run circles around most in this forum. Don't sell yourself short.
I gotta get to work, but I'll check in on ya later on. Good luck.

You go girl, do your thing...lol i'm happy it worked. Now happy flashing :thumbup:
Good job man. Looks like we may have converted another crack-flasher.
Jinx, first thing you need to do is boot into CWR and make a Nandroid. Save a copy of it to your PC for safe keeping. This will help you recover from any "mishaps".
Why it didn't work
When the phone reboots, it destroys the flags on the root software that was added via Odin.
To get around that problem,
do the odin process again, but uncheck the auto reboot before you start.
Then when the process is finished, take out the battery on the phone.
reinstall the battery after a few seconds, and then....
BE SURE YOU DON'T MISS THIS STEP,
GO INTO cwm PROCESS TO FLASH THE FILE YOU LOADED WITH ODIN.
if you miss the 3 button CWM load it messes up the file and you again have to reload it with odin, so that part is where you might be having the phone not actually root.
Go to this website and watch HOW TO DO IT till you can do it in your mind without any missteps...
Then, It WILL WORK!

Maybe this doesn't apply to you, or maybe it's too late, but some flavors of Samsung Android 4.x have a file to restore stock recovery at boot.
With the phone rooted and a root capable file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer look in the /etc directory. If there is a file in there called install-recovery.sh rename it and then try re installing cwm or twrp.

4.1.2 is the latest OFFICIAL AT&T build. There is an unofficial leak in the Android Development section, but I honestly don't know how it performs as I only run AOSP roms.

"Set metadata recursive" probably means you are using a recovery that is too old.
@Spud37
Yes, it means your recovery is outdated. Here is a download link for the latest TWRP that you can flash in Odin as PDA. http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hercules/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hercules.tar

I bought an extra battery and swap it, I also just use the SD card to copy anything to the phone. Is there a way for me to flash the phone with the new TWRP from the sd card. Why would the older TWRP not install CM 10.2.0 ROM? Do I have to go older perhaps? Thanks though. Knowing is half the battle
EDIT: Going to try and install 10.1.0 and see if it will let me boot. I figure once I can get it to boot, it will be easier to update the Recovery on the phone.
EDIT 2: No problems or errors occured when I installed CM 10.1.0.zip. However it still got stuck in a boot loop. I did however find a file called superwipe for the T mobile S2. I am wondering if that could help
EDIT 3: Okay so the superwipe worked and i am now running 10.1.0, Is it possible to install a Recovery from the phone without using odin?
What all did you wipe when you installed 10.1? There is a way to update the recovery if you can get the phone to boot. What is the latest thing you got to boot on your phone?

I had wiped everything, formatted and fixed permissions, it didn't work. It wasn't until i found the Superwipe that installation worked and i was able to boot to 10.1.0. How can i update/change the recovery from the phone.
Thanks

It is a lot more risky if your usb port doesn't work, since you can't flash back to stock in Odin if something goes wrong. I would recommend that you get someone to fix that USB port before you make too many changes.

Okay, now for the tutorial. These instructions are assuming that you are already rooted. Download this file and make sure you check the md5sum. Rename it to TWRP.img and move it to /storage/sdcard. This will make the next steps easier. If you move the file somewhere else, make a note of the location of the file. If you have not already, install the terminal emulator app form the Play Store. Open it and type the following lines in it.
Code:
su
[CLICK ENTER]
Code:
dd if=/storage/sdcard/TWRP.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
(Change the path to wherever you moved the file to) [CLICK ENTER]
Reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. Reboot. If recovery says that system recovery will override it on reboot, click fix. This should update your recovery.
Have a good afternoon,
