Hi everyone,
I've managed to install DangerSPL on my 32B Magic via Clockwork Recovery - however, Clockwork Recovery keeps vanishing after each reboot and the standard recovery takes its place... what's with that?
It is suppose to do this? I thought it was suppose to replace the stock Android one permanently?
How do I go about making the install stick?
Thanks!
(My first time rooting, updating etc Android)
Cheers for all the support and help!
Nate.
PS>
When it boots back into Android System Recovery <2e>
It says at the bottom :
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
In /system/recovery.img there is a full copy of everything that is loaded on the recovery partition. This file is automatically flashed onto the recovery partition every time you shut down. That means two things: 1. Any changes you make directly to the recovery partition gets blown away on reboot and 2. If you want to change the recovery partition you're probably better off just sticking the image in /system/recovery.img and rebooting.
So to fix this problem you have to rename the custom recovery file to:
recovery.img
then make sure it's on /system/recovery.img.
This will make sure that you have the custom recovery on every boot.
NB: The info is borrowed and modified a little.

Dear All,
I have Idea ZTE Blade (256 MB RAM)
I have rooted it and installed ClockWorkMode Recovery through ROM Manager. Have flashed latest clockworkMod 5.0.2.0 available from ROM Manager for ZTE Blade. It is not showing ClockWorkMod 6.x version for ZTE Blade in ROM Manager. My problem is that when I choose to reboot into recovery for taking backup of current ROM, its gets restarted and gets stuck on green android logo forever.
In short I can't boot Idea ZTE Blade into clockworkmod recovery mode. I want to install 2.3 Ginderbread so that it can run bit smooth faster than current 2.2 version. The phone is properly rooted and CWM has been given access by superuser too.
I also removed battery of blade and reinserted after a while. Then while restarting I hold down power on key+volume down key together. But still its gets stuck on green android logo forever.
I even tried the method of Recovery Manager (2. Through Recovery Manager) posted at --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713419>
But still same result. its gets stuck on green android logo forever. I cannot go into CWM.
Kindly help me getting out of this stuck position so that I can install custom rom.

Hi Matt,
I have checked that and from there only I have applied the procedure mentioned in "2. Through Recovery Manager:". But still I am stuck at green Android logo when I press power + volume down key during startup.
I have not yet tried "1 . Through ADB " procedure, as it is more technical, though I understand Linux commands. But I am not very clear about which command prompt mentioned in that procedure. --> "(make sure you're in the command prompt and have changed directory to where the adb file is)". Could you please clarify.
Whether following ADB procedure instead of Recovery Manager procedure would help? If somehow Recovery Manager procedure works, then nothing like it.
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

I got a solution. With home+volume up+power button combination, I am in CWM Recovery screen of Idea Blade!!
Will now install Cutom ROMs and see.
This happened with me too. cwm 5.0.2.0 is a little buggy for blade. so what you can do is:
1. Go to Rom Manager.
2 go down a little bit till u find "All ClockworkMod Recoveries ". click it and flash an older recovery preferably 5.0.1.0.
3.Done!
This happened to me also. Just installed (flashed) older version of CWM and it worked. Then once I got backup then I upgraded CWM.
It was fine.

You can use my 6.0.1.1 it's compatible with gen 1/2/3 and idea blade. It's stable and it is a touch recovery.

I tried to root and backup my ROM today using the method given in http:**ideabladesupport.blogspot.in/2012/03/upgrading-idea-blade-to-android-235.html. After pressing 'backup my current ROM' through ROM manager, my phone is not booting and stuck and green screen.
I tried 'power + vol down' or other options given here, but none worked. Its not even opening anything just the green screen.
Please help me if there is some way to save my phone. Any help is appreciated.

This worked for me too...Thanks much guys :good::good::good:
Normally I can figure out these things my self or find somebody else who has this problem, but not this time and It's driving me crazy.
My Nexus 7 is rooted and bootloader is unlocked and I've have been into custom recovery before, but now it don't want to launch the damn thing, it keeps getting stuck on the Android on it's belly with the red !
I've tried:
The normal way - Holding down power button+both volume buttons and then choosing recovery from the menu and with a USB cable attached to the unit. Result = Stuck on Android with red !
From quick boot app and Nexus Toolkit - Rebooting into to recovery, same result. Both with USB cable in and out.
I also tried reflashing the clockworkmod touch recovery from Nexus 7 Toolkit, no errors and I remembered to use the option 5, so the stock recovery image was renamed. Still no good, didn't leave a working recovery behind.
The latest thing I tried was booting the custom recovery without flashing recovery (option 10 from Nexus Toolkit) and then I updated to Android 4.2 Before I rebooted, the temporary clockworkmod touch recovery warned me that I would loose my recovery and my root and if I wanted to fix it, I choose yes to both. My root didn't go away, but I still don't have a working custom recovery I can boot from the bootloader or eg. the quick boot app.
What am I missing here?
To be on the safe side, just reflash CWM. That should fix it.

You got stock recovery.
To get the menu, once you see the android with the red "!", press and hold "Power" and then press "Volume Up", then let go of the buttons.
As the previous poster suggested, flash CWM and all shall be better.
Thanks for the fast replies.
I had an idea that It was stock recovery, didn't knew about the button combination, thanks!
I'm gonna try to flash touch CWM again.
And now it works... well that's strange, no idea why it didn't work before, when I flashed touch CWM from Nexus Tookit.
Oh well, I got my problem fixed and at the same time got more clever, thanks again.
Same/similar problem
I flashed the 4.2 OTA .zip from CWM this morning and it worked fine. As expected I lost root. Unexpectedly, I also lost CWM and I have been unable to flash a custom recovery ever since.
I started off trying to re-flash CWM with the Nexus 7 Toolkit v3.2. When that failed a few times, I also tried TWRP with the same result.
When I say "failed" I mean that toolkit flashes with no errors but when I select recovery after flashing, I get the google logo, then a black screen, then the google logo again, and then a normal boot. If I reboot and manually go into recovery mode I get the Dead Android logo and PWR + VOLUP gives me stock recovery, which I guess is to be expected since I am unable to rename the recovery restore files.
After giving up on the toolkit, I downloaded CWM and flashed it manually with fastboot but I'm getting the same results.
Anyone else run into this? I can only assume 4.2 has introduced some incompatibility with existing tools/recovery images so I'm just going to wait and hope someone sorts this out. 4.2 seems to be working fine though I'd like to get root back.

Hm, works fine for me.
After applying the 4.2 OTA I rebooted to bootloader, did a "fastboot flash recovery", went into the CWM directely after flashing it and upon selecting "reboot device now" from CWM it asked me if it should disable the recovery flash from the system.
Working fine since then, no problems.
When I do a "fastboot flash recovery", the image copy appears to work but the Nexus 7 stays in fastboot mode when it's finished. If I manually select recovery, I get the Google logo > black screen > Google Logo > normal boot.
What version of CWM did you flash? I used touch recovery 6.0.1.0 from here: http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager Will try non-touch version today.
It looks like a few others have run into the same problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990904
This could have been a pre-existing problem as I don't think I've used recovery since the 4.1.2 update.

So I finally got a custom recovery installed by doing a "fastboot flash recovery" of the latest TWRP (2.3.1.1) from here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
Neither of the current CWM recoveries (6.0.1.0) would work for me.
I swear I have been having the exact same problem. I will try the other recovery. Question, is yours a 32 GB version? I doubt it's related but still worth a check. Thanks for your info.

SOLUTION: I've had the problem where recovery won't load, it just displays a black screen and loads back into Android.
It seems that ClockworkMod recovery doesn't work with Android 4.2 (at least, for me). I tried reflashing but that didn't work. I wiped my entire device and used TWRP recovery instead, and now I can get back into recovery.
I downloaded the 2.3.1.1 version, works fine! http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/grouper

Sure enough that's it. Guess it's a CWM issue. TWRP is working w/o issue. Thanks.

I just noticed a new 2.3.1.3 test image....
Mine is now suck on the dead andoid /!\, I had latest super su with protection enabled.
I'm rather new to this,
I'm an heavy users and really don't want to loose my settings, I can get in ADB sideloading mode.
Is there anything I could sideload that could fix my device ?

Do you mean that you cannot get out of the Android with (!) screen? If this is all it is just press and hold power button for about 20 seconds or until screen goes black, and then the device should startup normally.:good:

No it goes there when choosing recovery-mode.
Normal boot is getting stuck on a Google logo with a lock.

hi guys,
i flashed recovery using the manual method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468858.
I wasn't able to use the last command
Code:
rm /sdcard/g2_security
I thought it didn't work , i also updated the my phone software.
When my phone restarted it went to cwm and now its stuck there.
Now when I try to boot I can either get in CWM or some Korean Recovery Menu with three option (i tried all nothing happend) or just stuck in boot loop!
I can't get in download mode by pressing vol up and plugging usb cable (tried all possible methods)
I will be glad if someone can help me out.
Thanks in advance
That's an unexpected situation to say the least.
So in short: installation of recovery worked, but you lost access to your ROM.
Correct?
Now, if you had a flashable ROM on your sd card you would be sorted, no?
I would say, get any compatible ROM, put them on a micro sd card and plug them into your phone. Flash through cwm...
Am I misunderstanding?
Otherwise there is always the fully back to stock option:
