[ANDROID] ClockworkMod Permanent Installation Fix! - Step by Step Instructions

I have figured out a way to permanently install ClockworkMod Recovey on your hybrid WebOS/CyanogenMod Touchpad. Like many of you, my ClockworkMod installation failed when I tried to install using ACMEInstaller while I also installed CyanogenMod.
I realize there is now a workaround to "inject" ClockworkMod into your TP using novacom however this requires you to utilize a computer everytime you want to boot ClockworkMod. Follow the instructions below to install ClockworkMod onto your TP permanently and free yourself from your PC!
1. Boot into WebOS
2. Mount TP to your computer and create a "cminstall" folder if it no longer exists after your CyanogenMod installation
3. Copy the "update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip" file into the "cminstall" directory, then unmount TP from computer
4. Download the "Internalz Pro" program using the "Preware" application in WebOS if you haven't already (Google is your friend if you get stuck here)
5. Open "Internalz Pro" and navigate to the "boot" menu (will most likely require you to tap the top-most icon of a folder with two dots next to it to get to the root of the TP - should be second folder down)
6. Tap on the file "uImage.ClockworkMod" and select "move"
7. Navigate to the "media/internal/" directory and click "select" to move file
8. Now tap on the file "update-uimage" and move the file to the same "internal" directory you did in step #7
9. Exit from "Internalz Pro" and reboot device while holding down the up volume key, which will take you in to WebOS Recovery (or select WebOS Recovery when you get to the moboot screen you may have previously installed) - you should now see a large USB icon and should be connected to your computer using a usb cable
10. Go to your command prompt in Windows and navigate to the menu where you have novacom installed - you should also have the ACMEInstaller binary file copied into this directory by now (If you don't know what I'm talking about, remember Google is your friend)
11. Type in "novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller" in the command line and press enter
12. You should now see ClockworkMod recovery installing on your TP - Once it reboots into moboot select "boot ClockworkMod" and watch it boot into ClockworkMod!
13. After celebrating, boot back into WebOS, go into "Internalz Pro" and move the file "update-uimage" back into the "boot" directory - the "uImage.ClockworkMod" file that you put in the "Internal" directory is no longer needed since you reinstalled ClockworkMod properly
Essentially the boot directory was overloaded which caused for insufficient space when installing ClockworkMod. Now you should be able to boot into WebOS, CyanogenMod, WebOS, AND ClockworkMod Recovery without a computer. As always, I do not take responsibility for you bricking your TP or variability you may have... use this information if it is helpful but don't blame me if something goes wrong. I'm just trying to help out the community that has helped me for so long.
Let me know if this is helpful to you. Thanks!

What!?
Hi!
firstly, thank you for making this guide, i know that alot of people like myself will appreciate it.
but i've run into a problem, see, now i don't have the option to boot into cyanogenmod anymore !
can i flash it in clockworkmod, or do i have to do it all over again?
a reply would be appreciated

you most likely copied the wrong file from the boot folder, as there was one for clockworkmod and one for cyanogen mod... look and see if you incorrectly copied the cyanogenmod "uImage.CyanogenMod" to your internal sd card to free up space. You will have to move this back to the boot folder and grab the other one.

Thank you VERY much!
and thanks for the INCREDIBLY quick reply!
EDIT: IT WORKED!!! YOU'RE THE MAN!!!!!

No problem... let me know if that solved your concern...thx
EDIT: Oh, just saw the edit of your post...great, glad that was it!

Just wondering... how permanent is permanent?
For instance, if I use "web doctor" to restore my touchpad, will the recovery be overwritten?

Yes, I just mean that you don't have to "inject" clockworkmod into your TP using your computer which was the workaround for the people who couldn't get it installed originally during the CyanogenMod installation. This just installs it properly but can be wiped with WebOS Doctor like anything else...

Yeap... it will not delete a single bit of CM7, just gonna restore the original bootloaders, delete moboot and skip CWM /Android on boot...
Running again ACME with only moboot and CWM in the cminstall folder will restore them.
....After WebOS doctor... it will show CM7 as the last time you shut it down.

I followed directions exactly but I am not seeing the uImage.clockwork in the boot folder. Any suggestions? I see that file in the cminstall folder, do I just leave in there or should I copy directly to media\internal?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

The "uImage.ClockworkMod" may not be in the boot directory I suppose if the previous install attempts didn't put it there so not sure why it isn't in yours. Essentially you are just trying to move some of the larger files out of that directory so you can install ClockworkMod properly as the space constraint of the partition size seems to be the issue. The other file I mentioned, "update-uimage", is actually the largest one I found and you may be able to do the ClockworkMod install properly by only removing that one temporarily. Let us know if you are able to resolve.

I've installed clockworkmod recovery with no errors on the first try, is it advisable that I need to use this method?

I was installing cwm for the first time. I didn't include it originally with the install of cyanogen mod, I guess that's why it wasn't in the boot folder. I placed both files in the media\internal directory and also inside the cminstall folder and ran the command and it worked fine. When I checked internalz pro to remove the files, the cminstall folder and uimage files were gone already. So it looks like I am good to go. cwm is working, I flashed gapps from it. Thanks for reply.
Now I just need to figure out how to make phone calls.

If you installed ClockworkMod completely the first time and it works, then you definitely don't need to do this as this thread was intended for those that tried to install it at the same time as when they installed CyanogenMod and ClockworkMod Recovery didn't install properly. These instructions are to outline how to get it installed correctly as just trying again using ACMEInstaller wasn't working for anyone due to the small size left in the boot directory.

hey thanks for the fix but after the fix i cant get into the market

Not sure why you can't access the market...no issues here. I would suggest reinstalling the gapps zip file and possible the market fix file that are out there now that you have clockworkmod working properly.

thanks for the help thats what i had to do

Hi, the "move" option isn't available, only "copy" "info" and "open"
The entire directory is "view-only"

Not sure why "move" isn't available for you... its been a while since I installed Preware and Internalz Pro so I must have gotten root access somehow and that's why it shows up for me and others. I'd suggest searching for how to obtain root access to WebOS to find your answer... possibly development mode if you haven't already done that but I thought that was required to get Preware installed in the first place.

Move command

I have the same problem. Move/delete commands are available on the media/internals but on boot folder move is not available.

Thanks
Awesome man! Been struggling with this since two days. Thanks a lot for the fix and step by step instructions

After Opening "Internalz Pro", Open "Preferences", scroll down to the bottom. You will see an option called "Master mode". Turn it on. You will get read/write access to the boot folder.

[Q] Why can I not delete my /sdcard/clockworkmod folder?

So I've installed a custom ClockworkMod recovery and ROM on my Nexus 7 tablet. Life was good. Recently, I was running out of space and decided to delete my CWM backup (after saving it to my computer). And then, I realized I couldn't.
I went into ES File Explorer to try. I couldn't do it there.
I went into the ADB shell as root to try to remove it. No luck again, just the message when I finally DID try to remove one file:
Code:
# rm boot.img
rm failed for boot.img, Operation not permitted
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: This looks like it's ClockWorkMod (5.8.??)'s fault, but besides reading that another backup won't make the current one much larger, I don't actually know how to delete the current one.

Try "rm -rf ddd" (where "ddd" is the directory name) on the directory containing the files.

in the development section there is a cwm flashable.zip that will delete them.. Then upgrade to latest cwm or TWRP.. its a bug from older version of cwm.. its talked about in the dev cwm thread..
good luck..

I did this in a way not mentioned here that still deserves mentioning... First I updated to the latest version of CWM available (via the Nexus 7 Toolkit) and then booted into recovery, opened the backup option, deleted the backup that was there, then cleaned the nandroids.
I could not find the aforementioned flashable zip, and because of the new CWM I had, I wanted to attempt a proper method of removal before running another rm command via the terminal. Therefore I could not verify the other methods mentioned here, my apologies.

Sorry for re-opening an old thread, but I am having a problem where I have files that I cannot delete from the clockworkmods/blobs folder on my external sd card. So far, I have tried deleting them from a file explorer, deleting them as root from a file explorer, root and non-root deletes from terminal emulator, deleting through windows, adb shell deletes (with system booted).
I also wanted to try adb shell while booted into cwm, but I could not get the adb connection to work from recovery.
I also tried to find the zip file in the developer section and that's the real reason why I revived this thread...Does anyone know where the thread is with the zip file to remove these files?

I think the only way to delete them is through cwm.Boot to recovery and use the menu to delete them.

When I booted to recovery, I am able to delete each of the backups that I created. These all deleted correctly. I then went to Free unused backup files (to delete the files/folders in the blobs folder) and ran that and most of the files are gone. When I boot back into the phone, there are still some files/folders there and they seem to be taking up about 4-5 GB on the card. When I try to delete them through the file manager apps (either as root or not) they will not delete and the manager reports an error (before clicking delete, the manager displays a statistics report that says that the size of the files are over 2TB so obviously something is very messed up about them). I have also tried to delete them through the terminal (again as root and regular user) and they will not delete there either and they totally mess up the terminal window with unprintable characters (the only way to recover is to exit out of the current window and start a new one).
I finally fixed this problem last night by backing up all of my stuff (except the clockworkmod folder) to my computer. I then rebooted into recovery (latest version of CWM non-touch) and formatting the ext SD Card. When I rebooted there were still some folders there (including the clockworkmod folder). I did a format from within the OS and that cleared everything out. I copied all of my stuff back from my computer and I'm now good to go. Not sure how it got messed up to begin with, but the problem is fixed now. I think I'm going to stick with TWRP from now on.

[Guide] How to have write protection disabled on boot with stock rom

For this to work you will need to be rooted with twrp installed.
This is for people who are on the stock rom or a rom without init.d support.
1. Download the wp_mod.ko file from @flar2's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816
and copy it over to your SD card (either internal or external)
2. Boot into twrp
3. Select the "Mount" option on the main menu and tick system
4. Go back to the main menu and then go into the "Advanced" option. There will be a "File Manager" option
5. Navigate to the folder you saved the .ko file in and copy it (just touch the file and it will bring up the menu)
6. now navigate to /system/lib/modules and copy the file there by hitting the "select" button on the bottom right.
7. Navigate to /system/lib/modules and insure the file is there. Now touch it to bring up the menu. select "Chmod" option and enter in 644
8. reboot the device
9. Once booted fully open up Terminal emulator and type:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
10. Once that's done open up a file manager app with root access and mount as r/w and navigate to /system/etc and look for the file install-recovery.sh
11. edit the file using a text editor, adding the line insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko towards the bottom of the file
12. reboot and enjoy r/w on boot without running the command every time
13. profit

I don't have my hands on mine yet (ordered a Dev edition from Amazon), but I greatly appreciate your work here! R/W was a massive pain for me on my M7, and this seems much more simple and easy. Thanks again!

Thanks for the turorial, but this isn't working for me
The file can't be executed (even after chmod) - and if i try to execute this file in an other directory, my terminal says that this file can't be found..
Any ideas?
So my device simply ignores Step 7 .... :crying:

Does this work if the phone is still s-on? (unlocked/rooted but no s-off)

Sorry, but will this fix my little niggling issue with MX player? I keep my Stewart/Colbert files on the extSD card, but I can't delete them when done watching them using MX Player's delete command. I have to remember which files are watched and then use ES File Explorer to delete them. A silly second step in my opinion. Yes I am rooted, s-on, with TWRP.
I'm staying stock hoping a firewater solves my s-on issue, but yes I should probably do a custom ROM to solve this and a few other things.

Thinking of selling HTC Desire 816

hi all, i am Thinking to sale Htc desire 816 from yesterday because i am tired of its low internal storage.. actually i m a heavy gamer and before buying i thought i would be able to move game data to external sd card and also to delete system apps and bloatwares so i unlocked my bootloader and rooted and then i have tried every method and software available on earth to do what i stated but failed..... i cant delete system apps at any cost ... also cant move game data........ i have tried many apps like Gltosd or root file explorer or a very popular one named Sdfix but all failed......i also tried moving wp.ko module to system/ libs/ modules but that didnt helped as well .. now i think i should have gone for a phone having at least 16gb built-in memory... what you guyzz say? any suggestions

i think ur sytem is protected try to disable it by using "wp_mod.ko" ...

Use wp mod.ko...I'm currently using it.....
Backup your cell before doing this
Do step by step very carefully....Or else, you'll have to flash the backup
Then try root uninstaller app

i already have done wp.ko method ... no profit.... it doesnt work... when i uninstall system app and reboot it come back again.... sdfix and root uninstaller is not working also........

after activating wp_mod.ko with insmod-command you have to do another command in terminal as su :
mount -o remount,rw /system
now the wp_mod.ko takes effect und you can edit /system (carefully)
after rebooting the device /system is writeprotected again and you have to renew the command

Look for the "taimport.stock" file - If it's present, delete this one: taimport - and now, rename the taimport.stock to taimport
Reboot
download "recovery fix.zip" from mega.nz
extract the file and run "adbrecoveryfix.exe" the .exe file will install some needed files (normally into C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\ )
copy the files from the folder "RECOVERY FILES" into the "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" Folder
connect your xperia with the pc
open the "m a a d" folder and then SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK to open a command window

BUGS: none
IMPROVABLE: boot into recovery only works manually (when it vibrates and a green LED shows up press VOL DOWN till the LED is purple) "QUICK BOOT" and similiar Applications cannot boot into the recovery!

Only adb and fastboot files! You can also download them from "chip.de" it's called "Minimum adb and fastboot"

you can try. but if I were you, i`d better use [NUT`s] DualRecovery! its simple and i have already used it for 4.4.4 and 5.1 on the Z2!

just look for the Z2 file... its a zip file! its installer and flashable zip!

thanks man.
this worked for me. I somehow lost recovery but regained it on Android M after following your steps!

Thanks for this. You can also use root explorer to make the phones file system writable before running install.bat

I did. That's how I got TWRP on MM
Following your guide
I downloaded the files from OP post
Deleted folders and rename chargemon etc
Plugged phone into computer with dev settings, debugging etc
Open root explorer to make / -RW
Run install.bat with CMD
Boom! MM with TWRP
To get in into recovery reboot press down after green LED
Win!
