[Q] Can't install CWM - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
i want to install a custom Rom, unlocked the Bootloader and tried to install CWM by using LeBobo's Recovery Flasher v1.4. I get a success-message in the command prompt, but it seems that CWM isn't installed. When i reboot into Recovery i get a broken Android Symbol.
I have attached two Pictures, perhaps you know what to do now?!
Thank you very much!

Getting the broken Andriod symbol is normal.
You need to press Vol+ and Vol- together to get into the menu.
I have found that you need to press and release them both together about 4 times to get in. But I'm only on the stock recovery so CWM may be a little different.
Hope you find a way in!!
Regards
Hill-Climber

Ok, now i'm in... But not CWM. Android System Recovery <3e>... Seems that CWM hasn't been installed

I have also tried and failed with the Lebobo method.
I have not had this confirmed and cannot find the answer but suspect you have to unlock the bootloader before you can install CWM or any otehr custom recovery. Hopefully someone will answer this soon.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

I guess that you're not bootloader unlocked but if you are, you can try another tutorial at development thread.

Can't boot into recovery!

I just rooted my Nexus 1 Froyo per instructions on theUnlockr.com. I installed ADB first, Then proceded to root. I then flashed a recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img. This was successful. I then booted phone into recovery mode. Selected recovery and the first couple times I received a black screen with an exclamation point in the middle of a triangle next to green android. I flashed recovery rom once again and this time it allowed me to enter. I made my backup image and even booted into recovery mode again�wiped phone clean and restored image. I thought I was golden! Later I tried to boot into recovery mode again and I received same problem as mentioned above. I tried again no luck. I even flashed recovery rom again and It still dose not work. Why could this be happening? I even went through the steps to root phone again (that went well). But still no recovery mode. I even tried another recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img. It did the same thing. Worked one time and then nothing! I need to fix this before I load custom Roms.

I was able to flash recovery via your instructions but phone STILL will not boot into recovery mode. I hold down the volume key and power.....all I get is triangle with droid net to it. Im going to try and Un-root my phone and start from scratch! Thanks for the help!
you are getting the triangle with the droid because the recovery did not flash correctly, try usung rom manager if for nothing else, just to install Amon/clockwork

Did you remove the two scripts like you were told? /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Cool thanks for the advice! I did try Rom Manager and used Amon/Clockwork recovery. After flashing the Recovery Image I booted into recovery from Rom Manger. No problem! BUT.....when I rebooted phone from recovery menu I again went in to Rom Manager and tried to Boot back in to recovery and I got the triangle with the Droid next to it. I pulled battery and started phone again. I flashed Amon/Clockwork recovery again from Rom Mang. and again I was able to successfully boot in to recovery. This pattern goes on and on. It seams that every-time I want to boot into recovery I need to flash Amon/clockwork image. Somewhere phone is not retaining the information. Everything looks to work just fine as long as I Flash before I go into recovery. I'm sure this is not the way it should work. Any ideas?

Khaytsus,
When was I told to remove the two scripts? Where did this come from? Please let me know what they are for and why removing them would help? Also, if I do need to remove these would it be done by using Root File Manager, finding file and selecting delete? Sorry if I sound new to this.....it's because I am! LOL.

It's documented in random places, of course the post below also has the same info. I don't know precisely what the two files do, but they apparently try to restore the recovery.
Trust me, it will fix the problem. Remove them, re-flash recovery.

So, I'm not the OP, but I am having trouble deleting the files despite the fact that they are both say "YES" in read and write in properties. I tried to reflash from ROM Manager and I keep getting an error there. Not sure what to do.
BTW, I'm using a Galaxy Nexus. Would love some help as this is all uncharted terrain for me.

I can't flash from ROM Manager. Initially, I didn't want to purchase the download capability. So, first, I used the program tools and flashed from there. I got Clockwork Mod to work, but then when I restarted it and went into "recovery," I got nothing.
Now, I can't flash at all.
The galaxy nexus should have fastboot capabilities, this is the best and safest way to flash your recovery partition
Be sure to use the proper recovery image for your device
If you need help finding it or setting up fastboot let me know

I have only ever found a guide for a temporary flash. I would follow the instructions and then CWM wouldn't stick. =\
So here is the typical steps to follow
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
And that's it, were you using fastboot to just boot it? Were you doing another method? The more details you give the faster and more accurate your help will be

I used instructions from http://androidforums.com/internatio...root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html#enter-recovery.
The ROM wouldn't "stick" and then the USB wasn't even recognized by the end of everything.
Start by booting into your bootloader and writing down everything word for word on that screen here. Next boot to recovery and write down what you see there. Even better upload pics of each. Again the more detailed you can be the more help you can get

[Q] Help - Nexus One Recover Image

Hello:
I justed unlocked my nexus one for the first time. i was successful in unlocking it, but after flashing my phone with the recovery image: recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img, i'm getting a triangle with an exclamation sign.
did i use the wrong recovery image? what i'm i doing wrong?
anyhelp?
Thanks
DoN
ps: i got my recovery image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
well this is because your stock Android is still pointing to the stock recovery,
There are two ways of overcoming the problem you have,
Step 1 would be to flash recovery again
Step 2 would be to boot the phone into recovery (without booting into the stock OS) after completing step 1 and flash a custom ROM or you need to delete a few files.
Instructions for deleting the files can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000357
Hope this helps.
To get into your custom recovery without booting, just follow the on phone menu options, BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY. Once in recovery, flag this, and it will delete the two files that restore stock recovery:

Short answer is no...
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to use fastboot, which requires connection to a computer. On phone methods require root access...
If you have a usb cable you could do it from your works computer (all you need install is the driver).

CWM recovery?

OK here's the deal, I have my phones boot loader unlocked and its rooted, now I want to install cwm, on all my previous devices I did this through ROM manager but atm our device is not supported there. However I saw a guy on here (can't remember his name) use a twrp recovery from the photon q on our device, can I do the same with cwm in ROM manager? Or are there compatibility issues?

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Do I have to erase my stock recovery prior to flashing cwm?

Help!! can't boot phone

Hello,
I just got my One today, and I've been trying to root it and stuff. I unlocked the bootloader successfully, then tried flashing the custom recoveries. For some reason only cwm (regular) worked; the other ones (cwm touch and TWRP) flashed successfully, but when I tried going into recovery, the phone would be on the "booting into recovery screen", then just turn off.
Anyways, I just continued with cwm regular, but it kept saying "can't mount /cache/recovery/command, log, last_log,..." basically lots of that stuff on the bottom. I ignored that. Then, I put superuser.zip into the SD card, but clockworkmod could not find the sd card stuff.
Finally, in CWM, I formattted /system, /sdcard, /external_sd, /data and /data/media. Then the phone would ONLY boot straight into the bootloader (even if I did NOT hold down), could not even open recovery. So I flashed the same cwm recovery again.
Now I can only go into bootloader and recovery. Sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help in advance.
I'm just guessing but I think it's because you formatted everything and never flashed a rom. So there's just nothing on your phone, it can only boot into the bootloader because everything else was formatted.

The thread will eventually drift away. Next time, post in the Q&A forum. More importantly, don't rely on a toolkit to save you. Sometimes, they don't work. The actual fix to this problem is fairly trivial (and to poster above, doesn't necessarily involve ADB either). If were trying to simply push stock software back on, it's three (well, in your case two) fastboot commands:
fastboot flash boot <path-to-boot.img>
flash system <path-to-system.img>
After unzipping a factory .tar. It's worth learning how to do in case this happens again.

[Q] LG P880 won't boot into CW Recovery Mode

I am trying to boot my LG P880 into CW Recovery Mode but when I turn off my phone and then press Volume Up + Power + Home it will boot into LG's recovery mode instead of CW recovery mode.
I have used adb to push cm-10.1.3-p880.zip into my phone's internal SD-card. I got no error when I pushed the .zip file to my phone but if I go to Computer -> LG P880 I will see a lot of folders (media, photos, videos etc.) but none of them is named sdcard.

If you mean to get into Cwm recovery there's no way without previous bootloader unlock and custom recovery install.
There are many tutorials for BL unlock. For me the fastboot way didi the trick.

Btw to boot into recovery you have to press VOL Down + Power Button until the LG logo appears and then release the Power Button.
Please do yourself a favour and forget about ROM Manager. Read a bit instead. It makes everything easier.

I am so confused. I have adb set up and it finds my device.
I have pushed the ROM (cm-10.1.3) to the /sdcard/ directory on my device.
After that I unlocked the bootloader and I think it removed the ROM from /sdcard/?
I now managed to get root.
you have to do it this way:
unlock BL
install custom recovery
flash custom rom
root (most ROMs are pre-rooted)

There's no kdz for cm, cause it's the file extension for original lg ROMs. You have to install a stock Rom then unlock your bootloader and then proceed.

I have been reading extremely much about this **** today and there is no a single guide that guides you through every step on how to install a custom ROM. There are millions of guides everywhere that just confuses you extremely much.
Can you please link a guide that works and has all the steps in it? I'm so ****ing frustrated right now.

search for a guide to unlock bootloader, then for custom recovery and then for root/custom rom? So many user on here did it before you, so you'll get it as well.

Before I could unlock the bootloader without any problem.
I just installed Jelly Bean on the **** phone again in order to get it out from brick mode.
Current version is 4.1.2, the adb finds the device but when I type "adb reboot oem-unlock" the phone restarts and gets stuck on the battery logo.
What in the actual **** is this ****? Why is it always like this?!
I didn't eve read of something like this but there are a few other guides. XDA is not a helpdesk but we'll try to help you if your patient enough to try at least every guide on here and search properly.
