Here is the official ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.7 non-touch images and touch images for the Nexus 10 enjoy :cyclops:!
Credit goes to Koush for releasing the official ClockworkMod Recovery images
These are safe to flash via fastboot.
Non-Touch

Touch
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-manta.img
These can be flashed via fastboot using the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/.img
fastboot reboot
Once again enjoy :victory:!
Note: To get the recovery to stick on reboot when Clockworkmod Recovery asks you if you want rename flash-recovery.sh or similar say "Yes", this will allow you to keep Clockworkmod Recovery installed permanently (Unless you flash a different recovery image) when you reboot your phone.
These reboot randomly as well. I've been trying to get TWRP to work, but TWRP is doing the same thing. Nothing in dmesg or last_kmsg to help either. :/
Also sdcard mount does not work nor anything reading from sdcard... only thing working is adb sideload.

Ok that is really bizare, both CWMR and TWRP are not working right and encountering similar issues regarding random reboots and mount issues. Whats odd is other people are experiencing random reboots during regular use even when not in recovery. I'm starting to believe that something Google might have to put out at fix for software wise may be needed.
So I take it no more "booting" the temporary ones posted before for the Nexus 4/Nexus 10? We can go ahead and "flash" these ones right?

i cant even get the sideload to work to get SU installed. Its driving me crazy. I keep trying it over and over again with the same result. As soon as i go over to recovery it unmounts from the computer then the sideload command fails due to computer losing connection with it. "Device not found"
Tried both CWM versions now .5 and .6
Not my first time around the block with rooting :-/
Used heimdall suite to flash my GS2.. any way to get it to push the .zip file for SU over to the phone? Push the recovery img then push the .zip maybe?
So I never even ended up trying to sideload anything, I just flashed the official recovery, then went immediately to recovery from fastboot, and once there I just flashed the SU zip and now I have root. Of course, CWMR doesn't work (i.e. if I use Quick Boot to boot to recovery it just takes me to the stock recovery, and if I try to go to recovery from fastboot manually, I just get the dead android w/red triangle).

Finally got it... helped to just get the supersu on the root of the device. I used the fastboot commands to get to cwm touch and then I quickly installed it through the interface. I couldn't sideload. The device won't recognize adb when I'm in fastboot mode at all. I don't know what I was doing wrong in that instance, but using cwm briefly let me install supersu. Thanks for your help! Surprising this is so buggy considering it's a nexus... and it's not the nexus that's excluded from AOSP. Go figure!

I had to do it this way in order to get root. Finally.. been working on this for like 5ish hours now.. what a pain. Hopefully there will be an easier route for everyone else and a CWM that does not reboot in 20ish seconds soon. Good luck to everyone that goes this route.. it takes a lot of trial and error

I'm sure there will be, probably by the end of the weekend, if not sooner
I took apart CWM touch 6.0.1.6 and fixed reboot after 20 sec
I took the stock recovery.img from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantarayjop40c, unpacked it, copied over the recovery binary from cwm touch 6.0.1.6 and resource files into the ramdisk... repacked it, and voila... no more reboots!
I'm sure Koush will eventually figure out what's going on with his automatic build system... my manually made recovery seems to work ok.
Please have at it (and feel free to thank me and report bugs), and if you want a tgz of my "unpacked" recovery I'll upload as well. You can also just unpack my uploaded file and see where the differences are yourself.
I've done recovery mods in the past for the G1, G2, and Gnexus when stuff like this happens when a device first comes out and recoveries have bugs in them.
Just "fastboot flash recovery $file.img" to try it out. I've got it running on my nexus 10 already and it hasn't rebooted (I succesfully installed CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 )

Great work! If you could post the unpacked version I'd appreciate it. I was trying to build a fixed version without success and would like to compare.
So,
Am I right in thinking...
cd to the adb tools folder where the sdk is saved.
I need to unlock the boot loader via fastboot oem.
Then copy your file to the same directory on my Mac
Then type in the command line you suggested with the correct filename?
After that I will be rooted

Edit: the tool in that git repo is missing a step to gunzip | cpio the ramdisk... I made a shell script to do that for me when unpacking and repacking

I could probably do it to TWRP as well (later today, it's sleep time for me)... however, I don't know where the latest nexus 10 recovery image is from them (considering it's not in this forum).
so can I permanently flash this now instead of fastboot?

Well I just flashed your version of the recovery, and after doing "fastboot-mac reboot" and rebooting, I tried rebooting to recovery via adb, and unfortunately it brought me back to the dead android red triangle screen. In fact, I can't even get to CWMR at all. Anyone else??
And to be clear, I have successfully rooted, so at this point I'm just trying to get a functioning version of CWMR on the tablet, if possible.
Did you try holding power and pressing Vol+ when booting recovery? That's how you enter stock recovery.

Yeah I know that, but I'm not trying to enter stock recovery, I'm trying to enter the custom recovery (which is the supposed "stable" one by damien) which I've installed. And it only let me access CWMR immediately after flashing it. However anytime afterwards I simply cannot access it again:
1) tried "adb reboot recovery" and it brings me to the dead android w/red triangle
2) tried getting to recovery via the Quick Boot app, and the same thing happens
3) tried getting to recovery via the normal holding buttons down to get to bootloader, then going to recovery manually from there, and a no-go as well.
In the end, all that happens is I have to toggle the buttons once I get to the dead android screen, and the menu for the stock recovery appears, which allows me to reboot. But as for CWMR, it is nowhere to be found. WTF.
Did you reboot after installing CWM? If so, did you remove install.sh, that will restore the stock recovery?
Please help! I have all of the following problems.
What's not working
- Samsung Kies, official Samsung drivers, AND "adb mount" or "fastboot devices" aren't working!
- My OS got wiped, and TWRP 2.4.0.0 always fails EVERY ROM install! I'm in a boot loop
- TWRP's Fix Permissions fails every time.
- I'm assuming it isn't rooted even though it was rooted before all of this happened, because every time I reboot TWRP asks if I'd like to install SuperUser. It never successfully roots the phone.
What's working (thank God)
- Odin can install various versions of TWRP or CWM Recovery
- TWRP and my stock Download mode work.

s-off???? LOL
You need to Odin flash a stock rooted Rom. After it boots up, install goo manager from the market and use that to install twrp. If you want to flash a custom Rom, dl it and install it from directions in the first post of the Rom thread.

If you mean that anything you put in your usb ports don't work then i had that problem yesterday. Just get your windows disc you used to install your operating system and click repair ystem then restore your computer to atleast a week ago and you should be good, if thats the case.
all I know is I can't get ADB and kies to work on Win 7. I had to use Win 7 for it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm not sure why but my recovery mode doesn't work, it just show me a little Android with a red signal and no one letter...
My phone is already rooted but I dont remember if I installed a recovery mode or if it was part of the root process, I need to install a "sound fix" zip, but I can't right now...any ideas??? Can I fix it without lose my data?
I think you don't have a custom recovery yet... Flash one and good to go.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ crSimple
Yes, you can install or flash and update recovery without losing data.
If proper USB drivers are installed and you can use ADB with the GNexus while is in developer mode, then you are ready.
Download latest CWM Recovery or TWRP Recovery.
Reboot the phone to bootloader mode. If your ROM has it in power option, you can use that to boot into bootloader.
Otherwise with adb: adb reboot-bootloader
On your computer, put above the recovery .img file in same folder as adb and fastboot executables.
then: fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-file.img
You will get an OK, success confirmation if all done properly. Now you can boot to recovery. Done.
Is there a simpler way? I'm not very "acquainted" with ADB :/, something more, ADB for X64 is about 480mb! Is that normal or Am I downloading another thing???

If you have never used ADB tools or ever attempted bootloader commands, it is probably not recommended for you to change stuff around because there may be a chance something can go wrong and you might not have immediate help to restore your phone. Doing these changes are permanent to your phone, so just keep that in mind if you still want to attempt it (eg you don't know how to return it to stock yet).
Personally, I don't recommend all-in-one tools because of the same reason as above, you don't learn anything if you need to do something command related or mess up.
It sounds like your phone is still bootloader locked to stock version of android but you may have have used SuperSU or some root exploit to get root previously.
All you need are 4 things:
Read and understand the guide @efrant posted for newbies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
Universal Naked Driver
ADB lite - ADB with less stuff, around 2MB
CWM or TWRP recovery img file (previous post)
When you think you are ready just post back.

Thanks, I'm gonna read it now!
My GN is on 4.3, with bootloader unlocked and rooted (of course) my intention with CWM is install a soundfix cuz GN has a VERY low sound and I'm missing some calls and sms all time :/
I used to have a Xperia device and I remember that root process and the installation of CWM are very easy in comparison with my GN, I thought it will be easy too.

Should be simple for you from what is mentioned above.
After installing the drivers and adb, phone connected via usb, Steps 1-3
1. Set your phone to bootloader mode. 2 ways to do it:
A. Turn phone off, VOL+ and - and power button at same time until you see it.
B. Using PC: after adb is installed, use command terminal and go to folder it is installed in and type adb reboot-bootloader
2. In bootloader mode, flash the CWM recovery.
With your recovery .img file located in the same folder as adb and fastboot executables: in the terminal type fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.3-maguro.img (or the toro or toroplus with the CWM image depending on your Galaxy Nexus type).
3. Boot to recovery.
Hit Vol button a few times until you see recovery on the screen while in bootloader mode, press power button to continue.
Don't forget to make a backup of stuff, including your EFS/radio folder.
Try this www.youtube.com/watch?v=foLQCNxroHw&app=desktop&persist_app=1&hl=en-GB&guid=&client=mv-google&gl=RO it's a complete guide but it's for nexus 10. Same thing with the gnex
Thanks a lot guys! I will try to do it!, something more
*I saw another option but I'm not sure if it work with the GN, some people say that a easy way is just download the app "Rom manager" from the Play Store and install the CWM from the app, what do you think about it?
*I have some little problems with stock 4.3 (for example, my bluetooth is useless :S), Do you recommend me switch to a stable CM rom (like the last official 10.2.0)?
Im not hurry for 4.4 or CM11, but I'm not sure if 10.2.0 has some bugs, anyways seems like a better option than the stock 4.3.
I got stuck in a neverending boot with the CM11 OTA updater on last nights nightly. Updater works in cm, then upon reboot, seems to install the update in non-interactive mode in cwm, then upon reboot, doesn't get past boot animation.
If i try to boot into CWM/recovery, it installs again, but I can't access the interactive menus, it just installs, then reboots again, and get's stuck. ADB sees the device, but says "offline" so I can't connect and access anything thru that.
Don't wanna have to invoke odin, as that's a last-ditch fix, and not sure what i'd install anyways.
I'd assume you'd be able to use one of these devices if you have an micro SD card availibile on your phone. I think you know what to do after that and that would be to get your ROM and GApps onto there. If you cannot do that, then you'll need to use Odin in Download mode.
was looking for a speedier way, but I solved it already by using odin to install TWRP, which let me adb in, kill the install process, then sideload the latest nightly, solving the problem, which was caused by the cmupdate program allowing me to install an incomplete zip file. I am curious as to if there's a cancel install type button-press in CWM for this type of problem.

After that i install gpro kitkat recovery and flash the cwm from the app, success, reboot to recovery but stuck on the error.

Btw looks like you are the only person that still active in this thread...really appreciate it...thank you very much
You're complicating it too much, to be honest
Just do it this way:
1. flash stock 4.1.2 and keep it that way
2. root, install Freegee, install initial recovery (twrp, cwm, doesn't mater), update it to TWRP from forums (2.8 version is preferred)
3. you're ready to flash create stock backup and flash roms.
If I remember, all those changes are already implemented in both SlimLP and Carbon. Slim has newer kernel and gpu drivers, and that's it.
So you are saying i just flash the rom as is without any further change?Noted shady...i will inform you the result

Ive tried your suggestion with the following result:
a. Flash to stock 4.1.2 (v10e) : success but then the master file i downloaded is gone
b. Root, install freegee, initial recovery: success
c. Update to twrp 2.8 using twrp manager: success
d. Flash to Carbon: fail, canot enter recovery mode with message secure booting error,boot certification verify
So i just rollback to kitkat stock

So, you can't boot TWRP at all? It seems that TWRP you installed isn't lokified. Are you sure you've installed TWRP 2.8? I remember flashing it directly via flashify on my device and it worked.. Also, check TWRP thread for lokified zip, I think someone posted that.
Edit: you see now why almost everyone abandoned this device

After installing freegee's twrp, reboot to recovery. Then, it might be OK.
After that, reboot system and use flashify, the free version will do.
You can either choose to download the file or chose from your internal / external memory.
I'm using the latest version TWRP 3.0.2.0.
If it doesn't work at first, go back to start and try again...

Thanks for respond, i have to download the jb stockbase again as the file used for lg flash tool is missing, looks like flashtool keep it somewhere...btw, when i use flashtool to flash the jb stock (offline mode), it.doesnt complete 100%, at 99% device was successfully boot and normal but state in flashtool screen is 99% and message to.retry is showned up.
Fyi, after flashed to jb, i cant execute fastboot flash command, the result is waiting for any device, but adb devices command return expected result. Enable debugging setting is already checked also.
Quiet interesting this device...salut to programmers of this device...

G Pro doesn't support fastboot commands (or is really limited in that field, I'm not sure what to say/think), due to some mess LG made. Mine didn't even want to 'adb reboot bootloader', it simply rebooted device back to system, and was pain in the ass for many things because It has custom download mode, it has custom boot sequence, everything is locked down... everything is different from everything else you're used to. Thank God back then a+b OTA system didn't exist, we'd never get any AOSP support not...
Do as g0at1 said - flash TWRP from Freegee, boot it to make sure it works, reboot back to system and flash newer TWRP from Flashify or any other tool like that one. I did have E988 (just Taiwan variant), and never had that much issues, nearly every time it was a straightforward 'flash JB KDZ, root it manually, Freegee, newer TWRP, backup, flash ROM', and trust me, that one was "revived" many times.
In the end, if even that doesn't help, flash CWM from Freegee, and update it with Philz Touch for E980. I think it will support Lollipop ROMs without any issues, just don't ever boot directly into it if you're not ready to mess with dd from recovery mode - always use adb.

This device was one of the hardest devices to work with... and I had Note N7000 with bad MMC which nearly bricked five times running unrooted stock firmwares Samsung provided. And Tegra-based Galaxy S2 clone with many hardware and software issues on stock... And many nameless devices with chips made by "big" vendors, like Allwinner, Rockchip etc which got some older CyanogenMod version builds with some or even complete success... And I never, never had that much issues porting stuff to any of these above, as I had with G Pro. Heck, working on a overclocking and underclocking for G Pro took me nearly two months of coding, testing, scratching everything off and starting from the beginning to just get it to some functional level and make it work as intended... and when I look at that code, I still have a feeling that it isn't completed and that some fixes are still necessary. I won't even start with GPU issues, I've spent more time than I'd like to admit on patching sessions.

Update
I couldnt wait to try again,i cant download the jb stock for a while due to internet quota limitation, so i did this:
1. Flash to stock that i still have v20c 4.4.2
2. Reboot to stock recovery then reboot to system
3. Run roottool.kitkat batch script (found from http://www.gadgetstroop.com), reboot to recovery, sideload installation of root script with result success
4. Reboot to system, run Root Checker to ensure device has been rooted
5. Install cwm recovery with GPro Kitkat Recovery 6.0.4.4 with result success
6. Reboot to cwm recovery success and do nandroid backup
7. Reboot to system, install flashify, download latest twrp official 3.0.2 and flash it using flashify: success
8. Reboot to recovery, now the recovery become twrp
9. Install package Carbon 5.1 unofficial: fail with message "cant install this package on top of incompatible data"

I use SlimLP for a long time because it's the only one that works smoothly for me. You might not have any trouble flashing it Through the latest TWRP.
Have fun!
