this isn't true.. I mean I use AT&T and I work there.. I have 6 gigs and zero overages I use a specific method in settings and I notice a HUGE DIfference..

I also test my speeds on the data using speed test apps off the app store and I do Before and After tests literally go from 0.02 mbps (throttled) doing my trick I tested after and immediately saw 60 mbps again I did these tests one after another when I notice a difference when streaming Netflix while tethering to my ps4. believe me the **** I use works lol I took screenshots of all my tests before and after data throttling. I have used 30 gigs and my bill cycle ends jan. 25th and I'm WAY over 6 gigs and trust me I notice the difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Niksko:
Awesome. This will make rooting even easier. Just unlock, flash CWM and then install su from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Does this recovery work?

I have flashed the same recovery via rom manager and it just comes up with a black screen

Koush has said he will fix it in the next few days

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spences10:
Yeah, works flashed it and am now flashing one of FitsSnugly's AOSP builds
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] h9290:
fitsnugly got a GN build up? WHERE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
Can you backup your stock Recovery before flashing CWM Recovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Niksko:
There's some reports on Koush's twitter that superuser doesn't work on CWM on the Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hunteres:
for me its working well. just made backup and using SU after etc. no issue at all

but i installed cwm from ROM manager instead
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] youngproguru:
How does CWM save/store its ROMS, and where does it load from? With the Xoom, without a working SD, it was not possible to use CWM.

If the onboard storage is all one volume with the OS, is the storage included in the backup, and how is the images written if the storage is needed to hold the ROMS to be flashed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Niksko:
I'd like to know this too. I found something that would back it up, but you need root first. I'd like to be able to back it up before rooting if possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
Rooting shouldn't affect the Recovery partition so you should be able to safely root then backup your stock recovery before installing ClockworkMod Recovery?

Or if someone backs up theirs you could download it and keep a copy of it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike1986.:
Anyone can post here recovery.fstab ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siedkins:
I have just installed Rom Manager and I get a FC but it seems to have installed the CWM OK. It successfully rebooted to CWM and I could navigate around but I didn't try flashing anything yet.

The issue may be more with Rom Manager than the recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Epedemic:
Installed CWM just fine, however when i try to do a nandroid backup it says "Can't mount backup path" or when i try to browse for a zip to install "Can't mount /sdcard/".

My first guess is that it is because i encrypted my phone, but i believe it works on my Xoom, which is encrypted as well... (I will check this later when i have my Xoom nearby)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
FYI, this recovery also is confirmed working on my VZW LTE version.

Backups are approximately 6-700MB and are ext4.tar files for system, data and cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SoCGHOST:
Delete that file from where, is that a system file on the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardiiiii:
This issue is taken care of if you install a custom ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mallman:
so to be clear, do this then immediately flash a rom and all is well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardiiiii:
Flash CWM, install a custom ROM, and you can go into Recovery as and when you please, no need to re-flash it every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
I installed CWM via ROM Manager from a manually rooted stock install. (GSM model)

I have had no need to fix anything up afterwards or to delete any files, and no need to flash a custom ROM.

I have CWM and CWM persists.

I suggest trying to flash it via ROM Manager before going the route of custom ROMs as that being needed sounds very weird and it's definitely total overkill.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sluflyer06:
ROM Manager is not the safest tool or most effective tool, also many users including myself who tried to used it to flash CWM caused CWM to disappear after a reboot and revert to stock recovery.

The safest and easiest way to flash things like recovery, bootloader, and radio are using fastboot. It takes merely seconds and is very safe way to flash images.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
To prevent confusion and fix the stock recovery overwriting at boot issue, detailed steps have been updated in the OP on how to root, install, and access CWM.

I have added ADB and Fastboot as an attachment to the OP for those who need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] betalaga:
Can I delete /system/reboot-from-recovery.p with adb command??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stickjohnonaah:
Just use root explorer and move it out of system foldet

i havent this file in system folder
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
Has there been any progress made on the charging while powered off problem?

Is it definitely related to CWM?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duRin90:
I would say it's definitely related to CWM. Did unroot yesterday and with stock recovery charging is fine. Soon after I flashed CWM problem occurred again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] John Markley:
Might moving or deleting /system/reboot-from-recovery.p block future OTAs ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
I noticed there was a typo in OP. "reboot-from-recovery.p" fixed to "recovery-from-boot.p". I apologize for the confusion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
im a little confused, i installed CWM through rom manager. Do i still need to delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p ?? or is my new recovery already permanently installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
check if the file is present in /system folder and if it is then it needs to be deleted or renamed is fine too. Just add -old on the end.

If the file is present and you reboot then the stock recovery will be reflashed whether you did it through fastboot or rom manager.

MArk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
I thought so, thanks. Good thing i didn't try and flash anything yet, i went to see if my recovery is still active and I had no recovery, removing the file seemed to fix it and grant me the power of custom recovery :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nakadm:
It's not related to CWM. I did some testing, restoring my stock ROM without changing Recovery and charging issue went away, it seems related to the Boot.img used by custom roms or unsecured images that give us root access...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imfloflo:
For me the most important missing feature is the mount usb/mtp option to allow user to transfer files directly from recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flipper203:
I flashed the recovery with rom manager and I can't find the file in /system folder is it normal, what did I miss?

How to Install ClockworkMod

1. Install Root Explorer from the market and delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p *Mount as R/W first* See this link for help

2. Reboot into Fastboot Mode: Power off your device and (Power + Volume Up and Down)

3. Flash CWM (fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img)......HOW????????....i don t have recovery

4. Reboot into OS (fastboot reboot)

5. You now have CWM recovery permanently installed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
This IS the command to flash the CWM recovery onto your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Has the version always been 5.5.0.2 since the beginning? Would be nice if you could include in the title the date on which the version is released (and perhaps the changelogs if there have been updates).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
That's correct, this came out as the release version. Unfortunately, Koush does not provide changelogs so I would not be able to post anything in regards to that. But rest assured Koush doesn't release a newer version unless he knows it works and there are nice additions or fixes. Also, I'm choosing to keep the title versionless in case of future updates I will just edit the OP instead. Consider this your one stop thread for everything CWM related to the GSM Galaxy Nexus. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zyonee:
Title can be edited by using advanced edit though. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatypaul:
Can't find your update, can you post a update if you can make stock backup this way? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rock7632:
edit: never mind, after reading through the thread I found the answer
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
that's not the issue. anyways, any (or most of them) custom roms wont have the default recovery, so that you can keep cwm. if you flash a stock rom with google recovery in it, or a rom with recovery-from-boot.p still in it, well yes, current recovery will be overwritten. that's normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NewMossie:
Need some help from you guys. I can't wipe data/cache in CWM.

I'm trying to flash a new rom, so I go into CWM to wipe data first and then flash the rom. Problem is all my apps and data are still there after installing the new rom. So the wipe wasn't successful.

I've already tried Super Wipe lite and re-flash CWM from fastboot, but still no help. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Im not exactly sure but did you root your phone before flashing CWM Recovery?

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NewMossie:
Yes, bootloader unlocked and su is working fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NewMossie:
That was really strange but I think it's fixed now. I flashed back to the original factory images (bootloader, recovery, & rom) and things are back to normal again.

Just re-did root and CWM, now to test a new rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypercore:
Has anyone made a custom Recovery so we don't have to go through all those annoying No's on the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zyonee:
It's already built-in. Create /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm like this:

adb shell

touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.one_confirm

This will give you only one "No" choice on top of the action choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hypercore:
Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
So I boot the cwm recovery using fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img, in cwm I notice that my pc can't detect my phone using adb devices or fastboot devices. Is this normal? Is adb otr fastboot supposed to work in cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPuter:
adb yes,

fastboot no

I do not have my GN yet, but that is what I have found through my research...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
fastboot is supposed to work when your device is in fastboot mode and only there. adb should work fine while in CWM.

I have a Galaxy Nexus and I can confirm this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pjjjv:
restore error

I was finnicking about trying to show the GNex battery issue on a wiped phone (which I managed to do).

But now my restore fails for /data. I'm trying to restore the nandroid I made with this very same recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img.

The error seems to be:

tar: seek failure: Value too large for defined data type
Error while restoring /data!

Which figures because the data.ext4.tar is a sizeable 2,1 GB (2221511168 bytes) (that's the size on my laptop). The other partitions can be restored.

What gives? Is this a known issue? I can send the full log etc if helpful.

Can someone whip me up a recovery with a better version of tar or gtar? See http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/#Value-too-large-for-defined-data-type. Hope this is not a fundamental issue.

I had also made a failsafe adb backup but since I've proven in the past that that also does not work for other reasons, I'm not holding up much hope.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Your best bet would be to just flash a new custom rom or flash a factory stock rom from the google site by using my GN ToolKit. By the time you figured out how to fix your problem you could have set your system back up again.

MArk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Thanks. That's weird then coz I have adb working fine when in Android (and fastboot working fine in fastboot mode). Did you flash cwm permanently? I only boot into it, not flash. Maybe that makes a difference, dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
To be honest I was not made aware of how I could boot into CWM without flashing it until after I had the thing flashed, so yes ;)

Edit: Does anyone have stock 4.0.2 recovery for me to (fastboot) flash back? :)

Edit2: Nevermind. I see it's in the stock image downloadable from google.

Edit3: Flashed stock recovery, entered CWM via "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.2-maguro.img". adb still worked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pjjjv:
I've been able to restore my stuff by using adb shell from my laptop:

tar xvf data.ext4.tar -C /

fails in the same way, but I got to see which folders had already been transfered (/data/data and /data/app). I just removed those files from the tar using the decent tar tool on my laptop, pushed that to the device, and used the same command to extract the remaining. Not sure if there is a post-extraction step I need to take care of, but to be sure I ran "fix permissions" as well. The device boots and seems complete.

Still, this needs a fix, or at least a warning when creating files >2GB, and maybe the general warning on the frontpage that now nandroid is not usable in all cases. God, how I loved that old partition-based nandroid that only created .img's.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Thanks for the confirmation. Did your pc install a driver while booting into cwm (even though you already have adb working)? Mine did, and fail. I might have to install driver manually just like fastboot it seems...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
It did. It was called "Full" during install (no really) and after that it became a ADB compatible interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pjjjv:
One more thing: I noticed my contacts (and recent calls) didn't restore along. Not sure about the cause. Too bad as I had just cleaned those up (merging the accounts). SMS etc were restored. The (older) contacts repopulated as soon as I turned on internet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Ok. Mine was called Full as well in the Device Manager, but the driver installation failed. Thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Just in case you are wondering, the way I made my device work with adb and fastboot on my x64 Windows 7 machine (which has previously been set to work with the SGS1) was to go to device manager, hunt down every single android-related device, click "del" on the keyboard and tell windows to delete the associated driver as well.

Then replug and let Windows fetch everything via Windows Update. I did that two or three times.

You may not believe me, but seriously, that's how I did it. I made it work by removing drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
Maybe a stupid question, but I can't find the answer in the thread:

How??? How can we install su.zip from CWR if we can't access /sdcard??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Why can you not access /sdcard??

Try /mnt/sdcard or /data/media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
It's not mounted in CWR. I can't mount it manually either.

Must I format /data before mounting?

(edit) Nevermind. I started android, adb reboot-bootloader and now I can mount /data. Don't know why it failed before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
/sdcard/ is just a symlink to /data/media, if i'm not mistaken. i can access my internal "sdcard" perfectly in cwm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Copy it over to your phone when you are booted up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
or in cwm, copy to /data/media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joyrex:
Encryption

Does CWM support native encryption ? I am unable to get it to work as it is not able to see /sdcard since it is encrypted. Others have posted the question on this thread, but no responses.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hovnovice:
Hi I don't know how to do the step 5 in first post :flash temporarily CMW :-( Any help please, I can't succeed to root my GNexus. What is the adbfastboot for and how to use it on my PC? thanks !!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PrawnPoBoy:
How?! If I try to use "mount USB storage" I get an error message "Unable to open ums lunfile". I have no idea how else to copy files to the device from recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
try mount data instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PrawnPoBoy:
This does nothing, and I am unable to unmount /data after mounting it. Is this supposed to allow mass storage support?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
Thanks to all for the responses, but as I said nothing worked. I know /sdcard is just a simlink to /data/media, so I already tried to mount /data (via adb and via CWR menu). It hanged or spit errors in dmesg (something like "fs has unsupported features"). I had to reboot and get to CWR againt to be able to mount it. Maybe a bad format after fastboot oem unlock, who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PrawnPoBoy:
I don't really understand how copying files over in CWM could ever work. Isn't the SD card partition formatted as ext4? Neither OS X nor Windows support that, so how could it be possible to copy files over with mass storage? Are the guys that can get this working using Linux machines?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
I copied su.zip via adb after mounting /data:

adb push su.zip /sdcard/

Much simpler than mounting sdcard on the computer, copying and umounting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
No but it will allow you to "adb push" stuff to your phone's /sdcard partition while in CWM.

The Galaxy Nexus has no mass-storage mode support. Deal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imfloflo:
Is the usb mass storage mode will be available in a future version?

Cause it's Really annoying to need a booting rom just to use usb and push update.zip in ./
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No need to boot a ROM. Although not ideal, you can just use ADB in recovery:

adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

or if that doesn't work for you, then

adb push update.zip /data/media/update.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Make sure to select "Mount /data" in CWM before trying that :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That is not necessary when using adb...

EDIT: Looks like it is necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Yes it is. At least when using adb from CWM.

Or the files you dump in while be copied to the root partition's folder called /data, not the /data partition.

It wont fail, but the files wont end up where you expect them to be, and when /data is mounted later on those files will be shadowed by the actual /data partition.

I've done this mistake a few times myself :D

Obviously you can mount the partitions yourself in a shell, but I find it easier using the menus in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gio999:
Is it normal that I can not see such file in ES File Explorer? (with root rights, showing hidden files, with system mounted for R/W)

Only Root Exlorer can be used?

When you flash the stock google images, it will indeed flash stock recovery.

If you flash those images and still want CWM, you will have to reflash it later.

I skipped installing su.zip, because I didn't want to do it yet. Could that be the reason why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toskabab:
No, CWM does not support native encryption. Encrypting your phone will break CWM and Rom Manager.

Bottom line... If you are rooted or plan to root in the future, do not encrypt your phone unless you don't plan to flash apps/roms ever again!

(Of course if you have already encrypted you can reset to factory settings and start all over but that's time consuming and lame.)
