Hi folks,
As the title says, I want to change from CWM to EXT4 recovery for future use (mainly for ICS 4.x and ICS 4.x MIUI)
Can someone guide me how to get rid of the CWM recovery?
I only have the recovery flashed so I'm not using CWM ROM manager.
All help is appreciated.
Cheers,
R.
Go to 4ext.net. download recovery updater app. Install it then use it to install 4ext recovery. You should try the touch version is pretty sweet
Thanks,
So it will overwrite CWM?
And do I need to install recovery updater first and recovery touch on top of it, or will touch be installed through the main app?
EDIT: Well I answered my own questions .. .. It went pretty smooth, so thanks again!!
Got the same issue!
Unlocked my bootloader fallowing HTCdev.
My device is still S-ON. Currently using CWM to flash ROMs and fastboot to flash boot.img.
Is there anything to take care about when switching to 4EXT in my situation?
Thanks.
Hi! I have encountered a problem, and really hope someone can help me!
Two days ago i flashed Omnirom Nightly on my n7105 to get Android 4.4. I was running cmw recovery but couldnt get the ota updates to work, so i was trying to flash open recovery instead. I used an apk that was supposed to install a script.
When i rebootet my phone, all i could get was the Note 2 boot image. It wont boot into recovery mode, or the rom. I am however able to boot into download mode.
Custom Binary download: Yes (4 counts).
Current binary: Custom
System Status: Custom.
How should i proceed? I've already tried to reflash cwm recovery, which did work, but didnt solve the problem. I am currently downloading stock firmware, but the file is 1.2 GB so it will take i while. Figured i should ask here in the meanwhile.
I'm not an expert at Android at all, im just a guy enjoying having custom roms and playing around a little. I do know that there are a lot of very talented people in this forum, and i really hope someone can help me find a solution. I've been googling for hours, but cant find anything that seems to work for me / or i dont fully understand and wont risk try before someone approves it.
Thank you, Vetle
EDIT: Is it correct that i cant flash any custom rom trough Odin? Or could i just flash omnirom again trough Odin?
If i manage to flash the stock rom and the bootloop goes away, will everything go back to normal, so i can flash cmw again and then a custom rom again?
No custom rom can be flashed through odin, as most of them are zip cwm/twrp base.
When u can only go to download mode, an official firmware only can help u through odin.

Thanks for the answer!
Yup, i have flashed a stock rom now and i got the stock recovery. Everything was working fine.
Then i proceeded to do a factory reset in the stock recovery and flashed cwm trough Odin. When it was done, it wouldnt let me into recovery again! I can still boot up the phone tough.
I've also tried Open recovery. CWM via Rom manager. Open Recovery trough Goo Manager... Still cant get recovery to work, the stock rom works tough.
Any ideas?
Okay, i tried to flash the stock rom again and installed Rom Manger.
It still showes TWRP and CWM under installed recovery and i guess these its these two who makes the problem.
My plan now is to figure out how to completely remove them. I've never done anything related to adb before, so i hope it possible to remove them in another way?
This is so weird. Somehow i managed to install CWM Touch via Rom Manager and it booted. When i choose reboot /pull battery it will only boot straight into CWM again. I tried to flash TWRP via Odin, wich sucseeds, but then it reboots into CWM again!
I am soo lost its almost funny!
EDIT: Since i could get into cwm now, i tried to flash omnirom, but it aborts and all i get is status 7...?
EDIT2: Latest now is that i suddenly managed to install TWRP via Odin, but i still cant install the latest omnirom, all it says is "updating partition details".

I had recovery problems in the last few days also.
Installed DN3 rom using philz recovery, because its capable of prepare the phone to a new rom in a easy way.
It all went fine until first reboot.
I had a recovery boot loop. All I could see were some buttons and then reboot again.
Like you I had download access and flashed philz with Odin, but no luck.
Installed twrp via Odin and all was fine, and flashed philz new version.
Then I had to flash a new kernel (to be able to access wifi) and it all started again. Now I'm back on twrp.
Let's see what happens on my next flash.
My suggestion is to flash the recovery, and if that's OK flash the rom and use it
Next time you need recovery get Odin to help, but not all the way from an original rom. Just the custom recovery.
But if you want to get rid of your strange recovery configuration, and you are not already on new 4.3 recovery(which in your case could explain some of the problems you had) , with knox, install an older original rom, 4.1, and make all the steps, root it, install a custom recovery, and from there the room you want.
Reading your path sorting this problem, that was what would do next
Best regards

Thanks so much for this - I have looked at the how to install the rom but can i ask one question? I tried to install the custom recovery in TWRP which found the device but when installing it ran the TWRP 2.6 and not 2.7.0.1 and when i tried to reboot in recovery i got a bootloop so had to reflash the stock rom. I am not sure if this caused the bootloop but because I dont want to make the same mistake again so can you step me through how to get the recovery ready prior to Intalling the rom in twrp??
first you must be on the 4.4.2 bootloader to flash this rom (flash P605XXUCNE2 with odin) 2 :make a fullwipe 3: flash TWRP 2.7.0.1(LTE) with odin 4: flash xKat v3.1 .The end
As the title stated, I've lost Custom Recovery upon flashing a new Custom ROM. I am using dual recovery, and I totally forgot to re-flash the recovery after flashing the newest Custom ROM I am using. Now I am unable to go to recovery, and planning to flash stock using flashtool and start from the scratch. I still have a nandroid backup with all my data but unable to restore it because of the lack of recovery. I would be happy If you can help me!
PS: Btw, I am currently on 5.0.2. Reinstalling dual recovery through the installer still won't work.
Update: Problem SOLVED. I've flashed this [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57576644&postcount=111] through fastboot and reboot to recovery using advanced power menu option.
hey guys,
still had carbonrom 4.4 on my z1c and wanted to update to a blisspop
mistake #1: I made a backup with cwm
well, overall i couldnt get myself used to 5.1 so i wanted to get back to my beloved kk rom.
but blisspop put cm recvoery on my z1c. i tried to install dual recovery but it didnt work due to footer failure. so i first installed twrp and my next step was to install dual recovery so i could recover my nandroid backup with cwm. but now i cant boot into cwm anymore. everytime i try it through ndr utility, rom manager it boots into twrp.
any help?

Aroma installer for kernel including cwm, (you should be able to flash via twrp) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...ent/ub-root-recovery-busybox-lolipop-t3085479 IMG of same idea - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son.../cwm-recovery-kernel-deactivated-ric-t2814708
Make sure you restore your backup once you get cwm, don't try to boot your current ROM after flashing these kernels
