I downloaded the new 2.1 TWRP and installed it using CWM I discovered that on the moboot menu it still reads CWM but boots TWRP. I would like to keep both on the tablet for now. Any ideas on how to install CWM and have both TWRP and CWM show up on the mobbot menu? Thanks.

Fastboot CWM again.
I did it last night and now I am stuck with both. I wanted only CWM but I can't get rid of TWRP. When I hit reboot to recovery, I go to TWRP but I can choose CWM from Moboot.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Solved with another method
SOLVED: I since have learned that TWRP replaces CWM and as a convenience to the user and renames TWRP so it appears as CWM for purposes of going into recovery. There were a number of solutions to add back CWM. The one I used requires a file manager with root access. I extracted the CWM image from the zip file and copied it into the boot directory and renamed it uimage.CWM2. I reset the permissions to match the the other moboot images found in boot. Once the tablet is restarted moboot inventories the images found in boot and adds them to the menu. For the time being I now have both TWRP and CWM. The only caution is to make sure you have enough room in the boot directory. You can also remove entries from the moboot menu by deleting image files. Proceed with caution and always backup before proceeding.

Hi folks.
Having some problems everytime I try to boot in recovery mode or try to install a ROM using ROM Manager.
when my phone boots into manual recovery mode, I eventually get this message.
E: can't open /cache/update.zip
(bad)
Installation Aborted
I've made sure I have my update.zip in the root of my internal sd. In manual recovery mode, I even selected the "reinstall packages" option and it would execute just fine and then reboot my phone.
So I'm stuck scratching my head as to why I get the error message above and can't access the additional menu items in the manual recovery mode.
Help please as I am a noob to this hacking stuff.
THanks everyone!
after you reinstall packages and it reboots, do you select reinstall packages again? you should because it takes 2 times to get into clockworkmod

When I boot into manual recovery mode and select reinstall packages, the phone reboots and turns on...it doesn't go back to the <2e> recovery menu. Does that sound right?

There's your problem. Your new file should NOT be named update.zip. The update.zip package MUST be the one for CWM. Its this update.zip that is used when you choose reinstall package and then you get into 2e recovery mode.
Name your file something different so it won't interfere with the update.zip of CWM on your sd root.
If you deleted that CMW update.zip file just return in CMW and reinstall the Recovery. It will push the update.zip again.
Not sure I completely understand.
to give clearer picture, here is where my update.zip file is located.
/sdcard (folder)
within the /sdcard folder are the following:
/Android
/clockworkmod
/DCIM
/download
/layar
/media
/sd
/tmp
...and finally, my update.zip file
so I'm assuming the update.zip is in its proper location within the /sdcard folder
With the file there, I reboot into manual recover and select reinstall packages...it executes and the phone boots up and turns on. It doesn't return me to the manual recovery mode again and I'm assuming it is during the return to the manual recovery mode where I can access additional menu items such as install from SD.
So I'm assuming this update.zip file I have now is the one for CWM. Thoughts?
at what point did you FLASH clockwork recovery manager? are you sure that update.zip file thats on there isnt for something else like the root?
to be honest, at this point I'm not entirely sure. the update.zip could be for the root.
what do you mean by flash clockwork recovery manager...when I go into ROM Manager, under the Recovery heading I see the following options.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2)
Reboot into Recovery

-First delete every update.zip you have in /sdcard
-Return in ClockworkMod and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (yes it will reinstall the recovery, thus copying the right update.zip onto the /sdcard).
-Now rename your .zip you were trying to install (ie. my_new_file.zip)
-Copy it in /sdcard
-Reboot into Recovery and select Reinstall Package (if it goes directly into the recovery menu even better)
-Now you should be in the CWM Recovery.
-Select the "install zip from sdcard"
-Select your "my_new_file.zip" to flash it.
-Reboot in normal mode.
ok...so I went into ROM Manager application and tapped on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
A status bar displayed and it completed like in a second or 2. Then I went into my /sdcard directory and there is no update.zip file there. Doesn't seem like it is copying the update.zip file into the directory.
No biggy, just means the recovery is correctly installed.
Just follow the procedure and try it like it is and see if you get a error.
flashing clockwordmod recovery doesn't install an update.zip on your sd card (1 click roots do).
All flashing CWM recovery does is install clockwork recovery in place of standard recovery mode.
ok...so I've deleted the update.zip file from the /sdcard directory.
went into ROM Manager and clicked on Flash ClockworkMode Recovery
Rebooted my phone and got to the <2e> screen. I click on reinstall packages and now it gives me an error message that the update.zip cannot be found.
So then I used z4 root to unroot. I then rooted my phone again and found that it didn't place an update.zip in the /sdcard directory. So it appears without the update.zip in the /sdcard directory I cannot reinstall packages. But if I put the update.zip file back into the /sdcard directory, I can reinstall packages, but then I'm back to the same issue again....feels like a never ending loop.
ok...finally got things to work. Looks like I had the wrong update.zip file in my /sdcard.
I searched the forums and found the correct one that now allowed me to reinstall packages twice and take me to the full recovery menu.
for others that may need the update file, it is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9850347&postcount=1687
That was it!
Awesome, thanks! I had just returned my Captivate to AT&T for a replacement today, and I was pretty convinced the shysters had made it harder for me to re-root and mod my phone. Now, how do I wire you a beer?
If you downloaded with your phone right after rooting, make sure you delete the update from the general sd card folder and move the update from your download folder to the general sd card folder. I had flashed with odin and rom manager last night and i had to install it that way due to fact clockwork has been down.
Slight issue here, not sure if anyone has had it before.
Just acquired a Captivate as an xmas gift to myself (sick of that iPhone), and began the whole process of getting a new ROM onto it. Rooted, installed ROM Manager, flashed a clockworkmod recovery (2.5.1.2), and hit "Backup Current ROM".
The device reboots into the standard recovery mode with the usual options (reboot system now, reinstall packages, delete all user data, delete cache data).
No backup is made, and I just have to continue the reboot. I've tried flashing to an older version, clearing the download cache, and using the option to go to ROM Manager's recovery mode (just takes me to the default recovery boot).
Am I doing something wrong here? I followed all of the instructions step by step.

Try doing "reinstall packages".
Steps:
1. Copy the clockwork recovery "update.zip" attached to this post to ur sdcard root.
2. Reboot to recovery.
3. Select "reinstall packages".
4. It would say something like replacing recovery with clockwork recovery, and reboot into recovery. This happens only the first time u use this.
5. Select "reinstall packages" again.
6. You should be in clockwork recovery.

Good deal. Worked perfectly. Out of curiosity, do we know why the phone was doing this?

Ok. I'll explain to the best of my knowledge.
The zip I gave u is the most non-intrusive way of CWM. No ROM manager installer is needed on phone apart from placing this zip on sdcard root.
When the phone boots up, it loads the default recovery console. When we select "reinstall packages", it loads "update.zip" on the sdcard root by default. Since the update.zip we have there is the CWM zip, it loads it therby loading CWM console.
If u don't want CWM, just delete this update.zip.
Hope this helps.
I have this exact same issue ROM Manager is doing nothing but rebooting into recovery. So if I use your workaround, I need to keep this update.zip file on my device at all times?

Yes best to do so
All ROM Manager does is download the update.zip that was posted and put it on your SD Card. The other steps need to be done regardless.

I got the ROM backup working. I guess I was too impatient the first time. I cleared/moved a lot of stuff off my internal SD card too....doubt that it mattered.
But it works quite well.
Hi everybody I had a question, I tried installing TWRP from goomanager for the touchpad the other day. When it installed I went in to moboot and tried opening it it gave me the error invalid size. Also, after installing TWRP to option for clockwork mod disappeared on my moboot. So through intrernalz pro on web os I was able to remove the uimage of twrp from the boot folder, but that left me with only the option to boot into cyanogenmod and no type of recovery option available. I tried using acmeinstaller2, to just install CWM but after restarting there was nothing added to my moboot. I am sort of at a stand still since with out a recovery i cant update, nor can i recover from a back up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

Do you still have "ulmage.ClockworkMod" in the boot folder, it sounds like it must be gone or it should show up as an option in moboot? With mine when I installed TWRP it didn't change the options in moboot, moboot still says ClockworkMod but when that is selected it goes into TWRP and there is no "ulmage.TWRP" in my boot folder. I thought that was how TWRP was meant to install on the TP. I'm not sure if there is another way to install CWM other than with the ACME2installer, might be worth a search.
Did you make sure "update-cwm_tenderloin-1012" was in the "cminstall" folder when you ran ACME2?
You could move your backup to comp, run ACMEuninstaller and webos doctor and start from scratch and install CM9. Then just restore from your backup. I've done that a few times for other reasons.
Good Luck
Thanks for the help man, the CWM i was using was called recovery_cwm and i just had to change the name to update_cwm and let acmeinstaller do the rest. Saved me alot of time by avoiding uninstalling everything and restoring.

CWM gone while installing TWRP through gooMan
Hi Zero,
Sorry but I am totally new to android and on how to install it in my TP. But, I was successfully running Cyanogenmod for sometime now until I thought of installing TWRP in my TP instead of CWM as installing nightly updates was becoming difficult for me.
I tried to install twrp through gooManager so that I would have both the option of Clockworkmod and twrp. SInce twrp is a better ui, I thought of using it instead of ClockworkMod.
So, I went to their site: teamw.in/project/twrp2/75
and followed the following:
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 reboot and install the recovery automatically.
By doing so, it did not reboot but while I tried to reboot myself, I saw that the ClockWorkMod menu is gone from moboot and I have no recovery option left. The menu has 'Boot TWRP' but when selecting that, it says corrupt data and my TP hangs.
Please guide me in getting CWM back or get the TWRP.
Please help!!! Thanks in anticipation.

If you have the install zip from sd card option, then flash jcsullins' recovery. Use the 12/15 version.
You can also install the same recovery using acmeinstaller 3.
There's a moboot cleaning utility, on the classic nerds' site (use it if you need to get rid of 'ghost' uimages).
Edit : here's the link to jcsullins' recovery : http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/recovery

I have unlocked my bootloader via htcdev.
I have flashed CWM, CWMT and TWRP. I could never get TWRP to boot, but I can get CWM and CWMT to boot.
Once in recovery, I go to choose zip to install and I can only browse a few locations such as /0, /audio /Android /video. There are maybe like 6 folders in total. I cannot browse to sdcard or mount sdcard. How can I get my SuperSU zip into one of these folders?
Or....why is it only mounting /system?
I even tried fastboot flash boot recovery.img (DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME FOLKS) so I would boot st8 into recovery and it still mounts the same folders.

I had to flash TWRP twice before it took. Don't know why. I also had some issues with rooting so I let TWRP do it for. Figured since they released their new version first for the ONE it should work and it did. All you have to do is go to reset once you get into TWRP and it will ask if you want to root. Pretty nifty if you ask me
LOL guess what I just realized?! I have the Sprint version, which has a different TWRP version and forum LOLZ!
Hi guys, I've been using TWRP for a long time, but this one is a bit of a head-scratcher for me. I'm running stock Android MMB29S on my N6, unlocked bootloader, and unrooted. I decided to install TWRP 2.8.7.1 and then root it with Beta supersu 2.66. The fastboot flashing of TWRP went fine the first time, and I opted to leave TWRP read-only. But I didn't install supersu right afterwards. Rather, I rebooted into system first, and downloaded supersu. When I attempted to reboot into recovery again to flash supersu, I'm finding out that stock recovery has overwritten TWRP. Ok, no problem, I re-flashed TWRP, but this time I allowed it to modify the system (instead of read-only). Now, I'm unable to see anything under /sdcard or any of the other folders when I go to flash the zip. Under the "Mount" Menu, I see that only "cache" is checked. Didn't want to mess with anything there.
Rebooting into system now gives me the "Your device is corrupted..." spiel, which I'm not concerned about, but I really do need to be able to see files in TWRP. Would re-installing TWRP be an option or even a different version of it?
mount system. if its still empty after that, use twrp to locate the right place in the filesystem. yes, like a file explorer app twrp can act
The solution to my problem was actually as simple as just removing the lockscreen passcode. I was wondering why TWRP was asking for that in the first place. Once I removed the lockscreen PIN and went back into TWRP I was able to see all the files. Happily rooted now. :good:
