[HOW-TO] CMW on LTE Version through Rom Manager

If you have any questions, concerns or problems, please post in the CDMA post because I will no longer be checking here.

theboo7 said:
This is a guide on how to get ClockWorkMod onto your LTE Galaxy Nexus through Rom Manager
Go to market, search "Clockworkmod"
Install Rom Manager*
Open up Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
A pop-up will come up called "Confirm Phone Model," of course choose "Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA"
Now let it install etc, then with a File Manager** with SU access, Go to system, click "Mount R/W"(if using Root Explorer) and then scroll down until you see "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"
Close out off your File Manager and go to Rom Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery"
There you go
You should be able to boot into CWM
* Free version works
**I used Root Explorer

By "that file" I'm assuming you are referring to "recovery-from-boot.p" ?

Could be because you are on a custom ROM. I am on Android Revolution HD and I don't see it at all as well. I also can directly boot from ROM Manager directly into CWM. I never touched this file at all and I never looked for it.

I had to do this same thing on stock to keep the stock recovery from restoring.

Yeah it's a known bug, that's hopefully getting worked on.

Thank you for this! Now one question if I didn't do this and the stock recovery booted what would be the steps too get this recovery installed?

Then you would follow the steps in the OP

What are the benefits to doing this final part. Is it necessary? Some say they didn't do this? Now on the Thunderbolt I didn't have to have rom manager installed and I could still boot into recovery. Is this the same? If I rename that file (which is in my system directory) will I be able to boot into cwm at any point?
Thanks I have done everything with the exception to this. Wondering if its necessary?
Edit: I guess I should have waited for a response because I went ahead and followed the steps in the OP and it came up with an android with a red triangle. Pulled that battery and booted up ok. Any info I need to be aware of? I wasn't able to boot into recovery from rom manager at first. I can now boot into recovery after reflashing CWM recovery but cannot do anything once I am in it?

Flashing through ROM Manager is just a simpler way to get CWM. And I'm not sure why you would have gotten the red triangle, unless you didn't rename/delete the file in system. And I haven't heard anyone say the couldn't do anything in recovery, so I'm not sure what the problem is there.

When I try and change the file name it says insufficient permissions??
I have root...
Cwm doesn't stick though. I always have to boot reflash recovery and then boot into recovery through from manager..
Any suggestion?

Your file manager doesn't have root privileges, so until you rename/delete the file you won't be able to reboot into CWM

This. I was using astro but changed to root explorer and changed file name. Turned phone off and went into fast boot and then recovery and it worked.
To be clear, I was able to go into recovery before. I would have to open from manager, reflash cwm and boot into recovery.
I was just unable to power phone off and boot into recovery manually. Now I can.

Thanks for the reply. I did rename it the file to .bak following the script to the t! I don't know what happened either. Since then I deleted the file entirely this time and reflashed the cwm seems to work a little better than before an now I can do things in cwm recovery. Hope nothing else goes crazy.

Yeah, that file can cause problems with CWM on LTE, although it's a quick fix, I'm sure it's being worked on for future editions. And since you've been able to flash things, when you use the volume keys to high light options, does it skip one or two every now and then? That's only problem I seem to be having.

help needed

hey ive really new to the world of android after moving from iphone and i need help. ive managed to root my phone have clockworkrecovery installed and working, but the problem comes when i try to install the liquidsmooth rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911009) i clear everything but when i go to install the first part i get a status aborted status 7, please help any advice would be useful

What version of CWM do you have?
EDIT - After looking through the development thread for the ROM (which i'm going to assume you didn't) i found several mentions of your issue. The ROM devs confirmed my suspicion that the problem lies most likely in an outdated CWM recovery. Download Clockwork Rom Manager from the market and install the latest recovery version for your device, i'm going to assume its the AT&T SG3 but this is a guess since you didn't say what device you are using. Once the recovery is installed try flashing again. I'm going to make another guess and say you probably dont have a working OS on your phone either, if this is true you have 2 choices...you can either download the recovery from here CWM 6.0.1.2: http://db.tt/QHZZqecH and copy it to an external sd card and flash it from the the existing recovery OR you will have to flash a different rom that will boot up to get you to the market.
P.S. - In the future try to provide as much information as possible to help out whoever may be trying to help you. What phone you have, what rom you are on if any, what you have attempted in effort to fix the problem. The more info you give the easier it will be for someone to help you, and improve your chances of getting it fixed quickly.

Go to this link download the recovery.img
Follow the indications. Two methods are offered to you.
Android App Install Method (Preferred):
Download the GooManager app from either location:
Market Link
Direct Download
Install the app and open it. Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will install the recovery automatically.
Download - Recovery Image
Method (using dd):
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-d2att.img
Download the above file.
Using adb shell or terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

Also, I know you're new around here but this kind of stuff go in Q&A. this being said, have fun flashing ROMs and kernels and be careful with what you flash. I dont think Bricking a 600$ device is so funny.

I would have to agree with liltitiz once you get the rom going and use TWRP, the interface is much easier to use, it includes a built in file manager as well as on screen keyboard support for naming backups as you run them.

Lets start at the top, can you boot your phone or are you stuck with no OS currently? I'm gonna be here for a while so check back often and we can get this sorted out tonight.

Ok, go ahead to the google play store and search for clockwork rom manager, download this and install it. Once inside the app the top button will ask you to choose your device to install the latest recovery image, of course you are looking form Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. Once the download is complete it will automatically install, at this point you can click the reboot into recovery button and follow the OP for installing the ROM.

ROM manager for cwm recovery. You need to pay if you want touche recovery.
Or use the first method from my other post. Using goo manager from the play store to get twrp recovery. Which I prefer over cwm touch.
Either way are easy and depends only on what recovery you want

Yup, one at a time. No offense but two sets of instructions could be confusing to a new user. Get a working phone first, then go for the tweaks and experiment....a little at a time and carefully.

Haven't heard from him (or her) in a while, hope they are too busy checking our their sweet new ROM to let me know if they got it working :laugh:

Let's hope so. One.....drawback....I guess in android is that there is usually 7 different ways to get to the same end result and that's what confuses most new users.....too many options :what:

Drawback or exactly the point depending on how you look at it i suppose. Thats the beauty and challenge of open source, which is why reading and understanding what you are getting into is emphasized so much....although seemingly hopelessly sometimes.

working CWM
Hi,
I was able to install the CWM recovery of Y201 from the below forum on the Fusion 2 using the fastboot flashing recovery steps for Fusion2. ":/fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" with the Y201 recovery file saved in the same folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35908322
even tho the Y201 recovery is little slower on the Fusion2, I was able to backup the rom, install new custom roms of Y200 and restore the original carrier rom.
The y200 roms I installed and successfully booted into fusion 2 were:
1) CleanBaseRom#5.zip (same as carrier rom with out most of att junk)
2)ICS_OS_20130203.zip (same as carrier rom with ICS theme, had problem with gallery and screen would not turn on from sleep)
Didnt see much difference so restored the carrier rom back.
Hopefully this helps

Thanks Kfire21. That tutorial didn't work but it did help me figure out what was going on from others who posted issues there.
You're correct twrp 2.5 for some reason will not flash the stock zip. So what i had to do was install the other recovery option in KFU, COMR or something like that can't remember the name at the moment but it's the option below TWRP in KFU. Worked like a charm. Hope this helps jmtems

I don't see why not, I prefer to do it myself but the feature of rooting is within the tool kit so you can give it a go!

I think I'm going to just boot TWRP and skip actually installing TWRP at this time. I'll probably use the latest SR 5 for root. Otherwise, steps 1-3 look like what I'm planning on doing to root.

Simply
1- unlock bootloader
2- install TWRP
3- Flash root zip file from TWRP

yeah i was trying to root first lol my bad thank you for your support. one more question though after installing ex kernel 1.00 it boots back to recovery every time i tell it to boot to system. is that a compatibility issue?

I'm having a issue,when I put the commas for some reason it just tell me it can't me loaded ,invalid argument...im trying to do it like this video but not success...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MDddSaptTok
Btw I also uploaded a picture of my problem

Look at you're command. It needs to be C:\. You have it backwards.

Still having issue Now not such file

Needs to be capital C. It's case sensitive.

Where is your twrp IMG file located on your computer?
Because I'm guessing it's NOT at the root of your C drive.

Yeah wish there was a full tutorial. I'm pretty rusty. Haven't rooted in 3 years.

You don't have the right name of the IMG in the command line. Type "fastboot boot" without quotes and press space, then drag the IMG into the command line and press enter. You should boot into TWRP no problem

Okay, put the twrp IMG into the same folder where your fastboot is located.
Then shift-right click anywhere in that folder and select the option to open a command prompt from there.
Then type "fastboot boot twr" and after you type twr, just press the "tab" key to auto-complete the rest of the filename.
Then press enter.

OK I GOT A workaround using the support toolkit Now my problem is I transfered over the superuser.zip file with the permanent twrp file....but I can't find it all all when i do a temporary trwp boot...all i see file with bunch of letter and numbers...for some reason I can't see those file in twrp...i boot the .img file using skipsoft toolkit but tried various way for me to flash the recovery permanently and the root file but no luck...this been getting more tuff over the years I remember when I had a s3 ,it was easy Now is a bunch of steps
Anyways I hope Ya can help me figure this out I'm frustrated with this already

Is there auto root method where I just plug and play?

Yep it is simple with the toolkit, used it for mine, super easy.
Just make sure you take your time and read what the toolkit is telling you, because it shows you the order in which things need to happen

Yep in the toolkit, it downloads all you need, all you system images, root packages (the latest), it auto boots your phone when it needs to get into ADB or fastboot, as per my comment above, just follow what it tells you in each window. It is so noob proof, I had no problem using when coming from Sony phones where the methods couldn't be more different and complicated
