As there is now an official version of CWM Recovery I updated this thread now. Thanks to everyone who used my version and helped me. I will keep on what I'm doing and maybe there will be other interesting things I will release.
The official CWM Recovery by Koush can be downloaded here:
Images to flash via fastboot
touch-version: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.7-mako.img
nontouch-version: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-mako.img
Flashable zips
touch-version: https://www.mediafire.com/?nx826v1jo0bdqdj
nontouch-version: https://www.mediafire.com/?69kmvtcvgooc0gv
For the fastboot images:
You can try this out and boot it via
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork(-touch)-6.0.4.7-mako.img
(only Android 4.2.X)
Code:
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot recovery-clockwork(-touch)-6.0.4.7-mako.img
(Android 4.3 and above)
If you want to flash it you can use
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork(-touch)-6.0.4.7-mako.img
If you have the touch-version use this commands without '(' and ')' but with its content.
If you have the nontouch-version use this commands without '(' and ')' and its content-
Outdated as all new recoveries already provide this function.
I also want to present you my revert recovery disabler.
As you know if you flash CWM on Nexus 4 it reverts back to the stock recovery. This patch prevents this. This is not needed at the moment for CWM as CWM offers the possibly to disable the revert by itself.
You can download my revert recovery disabler here: http://www.mediafire.com/?78fkhdh5icz3zdg
This disabler is compatible with mskip's toolkit (uses the same methode).
To use it boot in CWM recovery and flash this as a zip.
If you want to restore the default option and make your Nexus 4 reverting back to the stock recovery you can flash the enabler: http://www.mediafire.com/?19enww985e2gpnc
Thanks to:
Stryder5 providing some information
Kstarz for some testing and providing information
mskip for his toolkit and giving me the idea to do this
pankaj88 for his sample update zip
Old thread said:
I just want to release my CWM Touch Recovery for the Nexus 4.
This version also allows to flash zips from internal storage (and hopefully other storage related stuff).
If you want to you can download it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?f9b9av06ui5vcdm (UPDATED 11/16/2012)
Using it is at your own risk!
Please test it first via
Code:
fastboot boot cwm-recovery-mako.img
Flashing is not supported at the moment as secured boot prevents from booting flashed recovery. Please note that you need an unlocked bootloader.
For reverting back to original recovery use this one: http://www.mediafire.com/?57zmq7yw089gcr8 (not needed at the moment as only booted recovery works at the moment)
Thanks to:
Stryder5 for testing and providing some information
Kstarz for testing and providing some information
Also thanks to Koush for creating CWM Recovery and to the other devs for Nexus 4 making it a really good device.
If you have any questions ask below. I will rework this post later the day.

To clarify, I can confirm the boot method will allow you to boot the recovery and flash a zip file. I did not attempt to flash this as my recovery yet.
---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------
I tried to flash the recovery instead of booting from it, but that doesn't work. I ran the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery-mako.img
When I try to boot into recovery after that, it'll show the Google logo twice, then proceed with the regular boot.
I think this is because Secure Boot is still enabled.
Same thing here..recovery will not stick if flashed

What RAMDISK load address are you using? 0x81200000?
Thanks to the tip by Stryder5, I have updated my rooting guide with instructions for rooting via CWM, linking to this thread for the recovery and providing the due credit. =)

If I could I would provide you that information but as I only used the CWM's online builder I can't tell you that. If you need some information you can pm me
To all: As there is a new update in the sources I am currently syncing the sources and building an new version. Furthermore I am working on a possibility to make the CWM permanent (and easy to do so even without root; I know already what I have to do).

Hey do you mind if I put this recovery in the Toolkit for now until koush has released the official cwm?
Is it touch or non touch? What version is it?

No problem at all. Just give credits and use it. This is a touch recovery.
If koush will release CWM for Nexus 4 it won't be different to this (except he changes some sources).

As I built it this afternoon (GMT+1) it is V6.0.1.5 with the latest bugfix which was released today.
Man I can't wait to see some custom ROM's outta here. The phone is sweet and snappy but I've had a few problems that I'm not sure if they're hardware or software related. Quadrant scores are around 4400-4900, the phone rings hot and I'm getting the worst speed test results. Like I get 11-18 MBS on my gs2 and I'm getting like 2-3mbs now. I got two weeks before I can return it so I hope it just needs to stettle. Anyhoo. Good luck guys!

Sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought this bugfix would allow us to flash the recovery in our devices, then I realized that the bugfix was what let us boot it, as you said a few messages back. Anyway, there you have the official build link.
Can somebody please explain, in simple terms, why we can't flash this permanently yet? What do we need to enable us to flash it permanently?
OUYA Safe Recovery v1.0.0
Because the OUYA lacks a hardware recovery button combination.Purpose
To create a safe environment where the end user can flash their OUYA with confidence.
How This is Achieved
By switching the roles of the boot image and the recovery image, the user is presented with a customized recovery before entering the actual ROM. This gives the user a failsafe before they start to flash their OUYA. This way if something were to go wrong in the flashing process, the recovery image is still in tact and the system can be restored to a working state.
Features
Custom font size that looks better on HDTV's.
Custom color scheme that matches that of the OUYA theming.
Custom reboot options.
Installation Methods
Method 1 - Computer
Simply download the archieve containing a script that will flash your OUYA. Follow the on-screen directions based on the OS your computer is running.
Method 2 - Recovery
This method is a little more dangerous, but if you already have Clockworkmod Recovery installed on your OUYA you can flash the specified zip to install OUYA Safe Recovery.
Downloads
Computer Method: Ouya Safe Recovery Installer v1.0.0.zip - 16.08 MB
Recovery Method: update_v1.0.0.zip - 6.93 MB
Source and GPL
The source for this project is quite simple, but will continue to evolve over time. If you are interested in taking a look at the required source code or compiling your own Safe Recovery binary, you can find the requested material here.
Credits
Credit to koush for maintaining ClockworkMod Recovery which this recovery is built and compiled from, and to mybook4 for the original CWM port to the OUYA.
Donations and Thanks
If you like the work that I am doing and would like to send a donation my way, please feel free to do so, even though it is not required. Every dollar is appreciated, and will go towards future development costs.

Will we be able to install Cyanogenmod 10 with this recovery? Or will we need to replace the boot.Img in the zip so it will gflash correctly without having to use fastboot?
Edit: Where are my manners, AWESOME! Thanks for the recovery! I remember you talking about it in the Cyanogenmod Thread and I didn't expect it to be made so fast!

To install Cyanogenmod 10 you will need to manually flash the boot.img to the recovery partition.

You're welcome!
So I'm guessing all of the roms need to be updated to install to the recovery partition instead of the boot partition?
Hi, you have done A Great Job, i flashed (via CWM) the recovery and Its working, i also flashed boot image (via Fastboot) and its booting.. Everything is working, we are safe Now!!! Finally!!!! Thanks to you!!!
This should be in Xda Portal!!!!
Only one thing remains what should we choose when we are asked to disable recovery flash... ?
Tried the installer from windows and it reset the ouya and booted back into the ouya launcher? Am I doing something wrong? So far im rooted and adb is working as its sending the files to my internal SD Card. Driver is installed correctly on the pc. Im running Windows 7 (x86).

Does this have any passthrough mode? I mean, is there any functionality to make it automatically boot into the rom by default, and only show the recovery screen if you are holding the power button or some key on the usb keyboard?

The updated fstab should allow for the existing ROMs to flash the boot image to the recovery partition granted developers are writing the image the correct way.

It should work. I don't see why it wouldn't if adb is working correctly.
Maybe a bad download is to blame?

I believe that for koush bootstrap recovery what it does is puts a certain file /system/etc on successful shut down and when it restarts the recovery checks first if the file is there and it moves into normal boot and after that it destroys the file to be rebuilt on successful shutdown.
But if the file is not found it goes into recovery mode

Please after install the recovery, then go to twrp, dont go to homescreen, becouse if you go to homescreen after install the recovery, system will replace the twrp with the stock one.
After you go to twrp, swipe to allow modification and reboot.

Hi,
I wrote a simple Ubuntu-Touch installer for the Meizu Pro 5. Its been tested on OTA-12 and OTA-13
but will probably work for any future version unless they change something.
Make sure you have the TWRP_3.0_m86_patched_st0rm77 recovery installed.
Only this version will backup the bootlogo and device tree.
Steps to install:
1. Make a backup of your device <-- ALWAYS
- select backup from TWRP
2. Install ubuntu-device-flash
# sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash
# ubuntu-device-flash --download-only touch --device=turbo --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable/meizu-pd.en
(For Windows,Mac and lazy people: Ubuntu-Touch OTA-12 & Ubuntu-Touch OTA-13)
3. Open the folder ~/.cache/ubuntuimages and copy the following files onto your internal storage or sdcard:
- version-*.xz, custom-*.xz, device-*.xz and ubuntu-*.xz
- ubuntu-touch-installer*.zip (attached to this post)
4. Start your device in TWRP and wipe your device
- select wipe > advanced wipe
- select Dalvik/Art, Cache, System, Data and >>swipe to wipe<<
5. Install Ubuntu-Touch
- select install
- select ubuntu-touch-installer*.zip.
Wait until the installer finishes and reboot your device
Enjoy
Does OTA work ?
Really nice and wonderful job !!! :good:
Let me ask some details :
* there're some apps to try in ubuntu ?! 'cause if I remember well, one of the big obstacle of ubuntu phone was the lack of apps / programs to install in the system...
* once done this procedure, TWRP Recovery ( your version, in this case ), will remain ?! Or it's been overwritten / disappeared ?! :crying:
* In above case, imaging that TWRP is still present, what's the procedure to go back to an Android system ( Flyme e.g. or RR or whatever ) ?

Yes, but not until you flash the Ubuntu recovery manually.
Extract /partitions/recovery from the device-*.xz
Flash this to recovery via fastboot.

Backup you current state (flyme/aicp/cm/rr).

If you do not like it, reboot into TWRP and restore from backup.

Yes, but not until you flash the Ubuntu recovery manually.
Extract /partitions/recovery from the device-*.xz
Flash this to recovery via fastboot.

So you cant get root ? I have something that might work, but its early stage and you might be the perfect person to test this.

Sry for my late answer. Today I tried to upgrade to OTA 14 but the update was not downloaded nor installed. Do you have successfully updated to OTA 14?
BTW: Yes I think I get root with the flyme account
Edit: It seems the OTA-Update to OTA-14 works fine. It only takes a while
i was trying to mess around with this along side with multirom from faust, after some problem i actually thought it was going to work, but after installing the zip i get an error " ! failed, verify error on bootlogo " and even tho the installation conclude it doesn't boot afterward, any clue on how to fix this?
Video??
Flashing bootlogo error. On TWRP 3.0. Tryed on OTA 12 and OTA 13
anyone successful with this guide?
hello, I tried it in ubuntu touch of Canonical and it works, also with the ubuntu 15.04 but it does not work with the 16.04
Any thing new?
I know its been a while but I'm still using my Meizu Pro5. It was an Ubuntu edition. I've been using A custom rom for a couple of yrs now. I'm ready to go back to Ubuntu because there hasn't been any updates from the Rom creators for a couple yrs now and I want to keep the phone updated. so I followed this process but upon install phone says
" could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update binary' "
and after reboot wont move past white "Meizu Powered by ubuntu" screen...I did get it back to recovery. So If at all possible is there something that I can do? I'm trying to install the new Ubuntu touch on my phone but it wouldn't proceed with out an older version running on the phone...
