Awesome. This will make rooting even easier. Just unlock, flash CWM and then install su from there.

Does this recovery work?
I have flashed the same recovery via rom manager and it just comes up with a black screen
Koush has said he will fix it in the next few days

This was already posted a few days ago and it was stated that it didnt work and the link removed.
I have removed the link from the original post until its working and then the first person to post the information (or the developer) will have the right to post it.
Mark.

Working download link and new version is now up.

Can, reportedly, also be gotten through the ROM Manager.

Can you backup your stock Recovery before flashing CWM Recovery?

There's some reports on Koush's twitter that superuser doesn't work on CWM on the Nexus

for me its working well. just made backup and using SU after etc. no issue at all
but i installed cwm from ROM manager instead

How does CWM save/store its ROMS, and where does it load from? With the Xoom, without a working SD, it was not possible to use CWM.
If the onboard storage is all one volume with the OS, is the storage included in the backup, and how is the images written if the storage is needed to hold the ROMS to be flashed?

I'd like to know this too. I found something that would back it up, but you need root first. I'd like to be able to back it up before rooting if possible.

Rooting shouldn't affect the Recovery partition so you should be able to safely root then backup your stock recovery before installing ClockworkMod Recovery?
Or if someone backs up theirs you could download it and keep a copy of it?

Anyone can post here recovery.fstab ?

I have just installed Rom Manager and I get a FC but it seems to have installed the CWM OK. It successfully rebooted to CWM and I could navigate around but I didn't try flashing anything yet.
The issue may be more with Rom Manager than the recovery

Installed CWM just fine, however when i try to do a nandroid backup it says "Can't mount backup path" or when i try to browse for a zip to install "Can't mount /sdcard/".
My first guess is that it is because i encrypted my phone, but i believe it works on my Xoom, which is encrypted as well... (I will check this later when i have my Xoom nearby)

FYI, this recovery also is confirmed working on my VZW LTE version.
Backups are approximately 6-700MB and are ext4.tar files for system, data and cache.

System write protection.
There is a mod to disable that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/des...e-disable-write-protection-v1-0-tool-t2966850
Or use a custom ROM, those have it disabled already.

I went through all the necessary steps. Only thing/issue now is the actual flashing of the root file. It will not take. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a way to get the necessary binary or whatever it's asking for? Thank you in advance.

[FIXED] adb sideload "timed out waiting for package"

Hi guys, i'm new in this forum, so please pardon me if i did something wrong.
i really need a help now, my asus zenfone 2 (ZE551ML) got bricked Yesterday.
this is the timeline why my zenfone 2 got bircked:
1. I rooted my phone without cwm or anything else on around 2 weeks ago
2. Yesterday, i recieved the firmware update message (auto download) and i accidentaly clicked on update now without unrooting first.
3. My phone stuck on the logo screen, loading forever (softbrick?)
4. i've tried to factory reset and wipe all the system cache via recovery mode, but it didn't wok.
5. i looked at some forum and youtube said that i can flash rom my device to unbrick my device with 2 ways : via adb and microsd.
6. using adb sound promising, so i learnt how to flash rom via adb and i downloaded the latest firmware on the official website.
7. i tried to flash rom via adb: i've put the firmware zip on adb folder and open windows command in that folder, i connected my zenfone 2 with usb and start to "apply update from adb" and type "adb sideload xxxx.zip".
8. several times later i got message: "timed out waiting for package, installation aborted".
9. i repeated step 7 and 8 for almost 5 times and the results are same
Can someone help me? I'm really frustated now cause i can't using my phone or maybe share the reference about flash rom with microsd, because i've tried it but i don't really understand how to do it
Thx. in advance for all of you
nb: i've tried to search in this forum, but i didn't find correct answer for me

FINALLY I FOUND HOW TO FIX IT IN THIS SITE http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=39487 THE PROBLEM IS PERSIST WITH MINE AND FINALLY I DIDN'T NEED TO STPCK RECOVERY! THX FOR THE REPLIES GUYS

since you know how to go into recovery mode so i'll skip that part,
use this adb tool instead https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001607611

If you have an external sdcard take it out and copy the firmware you want to side load and copy it to the external sdcard. Now name it "MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip" and reboot to fastboot and choose recovery. It should automatically flash the firmware. Move it to a folder when you are done or it will install automatically every time you reboot to recovery.

I can't install TWRP on my XPERIA M.

Hey everyone, i'm new here, it's my first post, so please be forgiving just in case
My goal is to install custom ROM, so first I unlocked bootloader via Flashtool. It worked well.
Then I rooted the phone via KingRoot, it also worked well.
The next step I wanted to do was install the custom recovery (TWRP), so I installed TWRP Manager app and it failed
I installed it via Terminal Emulator app following the instructions on the twrp website and it kind of worked, but I can't get into TWRP...
Turning of the phone, holding the volume down button doesn't work. It's just booting the system. How to fix it? Maybe i'm booting to the recovery wrong?
Help me please, thanks in advance. And sorry for my bad english

Terminal Emulator: "su" then "reboot recovery"
OR power on the device and push Volume Up several times. Usually the LED turns blue and TWRP is booting.

So obviously it did not work? I assume you are on stock rom 4.3 - so I would suggest to do it as explained here:

[*]TWRP FOTA recovery is recommended, follow this thread for instructions
Download:
Nightly: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=nicki&type=nightly
Install instructions:
Before you install make sure you are on 4.3 firmware 1st with your bootloader is Unlocked and a cwm/twrp recovery installed. if you haven't installed recovery then flash boot.img from this rom zip via fastboot.
boot into recovery
Wipe data and cache
Flash the rom and gapps zip
Reboot

Another Way could be to flash NUI-Kernel. It has built in the TWRP recovery.
But ATTENTION!!!: Both ways won't let you boot the Stock ROM !!!

Yes, i'm on the stock rom 4.3 by sony. The instructions are saying that I have to boot into recovery which I can't do... I even tried to install recovery by command shell in windows and fastboot, but this screen appeared:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Have you tried with Flashtool? They say that after unlocking bootloader the official Sony tools won't work anymore. I'm not sure why nothing works for you. So I do erverything under linux environment and don't know how it works with the Windows tools. E.g. I know the behavior of adb shell looks very different under windows.... Maybe someone else has better ideas....!?!

I assume you want to flash cm 13.
First, download the rom. Then open the ZIP file and copy the boot.img into a folder. Then fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then are you able to enter twrp through pressing vol up while boot (led will turn blue)

Will installing cm13 this way be clean or dirty flash?

[EDIT]
IMPORTANT NOTICE, READ BEFOR E CONTINUING. ​If you flash stock rom and you are updated to OS>6.2.8.0 then you will loose TWRP, you no longer will be able to unlock your 4k stick ever again because updating your stick with rom with efuse burner will block the BROM exploit and you will not be able to unlock again.​Again, going stock will lock your device and you'll no longer be able to unlock it again. If you still want to go stock then follow the steps mentioned below.​
Download locked/stock rom for mantis, you will find the rom in XDA posts named like update-mantis-6271-blabla.zip or .bin, if it is in .bin just rename it to zip.
Push it to your internal storage of mantis, wipe everything except internal
Flash it via twrp,
Edit: (This edit was just of older version of OS like 7.1 or 7.3)
You don't have to factory reset, you can always switch back and forth these updates, you can flash 7.1 on top of 7.3 or vice-versa, because there is no actual major OS update, and the files are compatible, and the update replaces the whole system you should know.
If you choose to switch b/w them make sure not to wipe anything, because your remote will be unpaired, so keep that in mind. But if you are rooted and use peacockTV then a factory reset is kinda mandatory after doing this.
[EDIT END]
Reboot, setup your account and when you are fully setup, enable adb and authorize your computer.
At this point your system is fully stock, but your bootloader isn't.
Open the update-mantis-something.zip you will find boot.img, extract it to the folder where you have fastboot installed (download and install if you haven't, you can also use the live image which contains fastboot drivers and application ).
While the stick is connected to your pc
Enter
Code:
adb reboot recovery
when the stick opens TWRP
Enter
Code:
adb shell reboot-amonet
When you see the stick showing black screen with firetv logo, enter
Code:
fastboot devices
to confirm if your device is connected (install drivers if you cannot connect)
If you see your device in fastboot
Enter
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Code:
fastboot reboot
Your stick will reboot itself.
You will have to factory reset your stick one more time, or some apps like peacock tv will not work.
Good luck.

This works perfectly if anyone else is wondering.

Hello, can anyone link me to where I will find the windows drivers for the Firestick in fastboot mode?
I have followed the above and entered fastboot which can be seen here:

However powershell doesn't display and connected devices and I am guess it is because Windows doesn't recognise the device in device manager? Image shown below of what my PC is doing:
I had a look through the platform-tools folder but I couldn't find any "drivers" as such that I could point device manager at. Thanks in advance
