[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iastonish:
I'm trying to gain root, but can't even get into clockwork temporarily to flash. My bootloader is unlocked and I downloaded and set up the root package as well as the android sdk, etc.

I'm getting the error: cannot load "recovery"

I didn't delete or rename the file in root explorer yet, but that takes root access, correct? So if anyone know what I'm doing wrong or missing let me know. I'm typing in the adb from fastboot as well.

Getting frustrated :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Make sure you are running the proper commands, it has to be spelled exactly letter for letter. And make you are running the commands and have all the files in the same folder as fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iastonish:
I'm typing it word for word, and even copied and pasted it. I'm launching the command from platform tools and have fastboot and the boot.img in there

I didn't unzip the img with winzip or anything prior, would that be the problem? I'm totally lost and feel like I must be overlooking something simple/obvious, because all the technical stuff is being applied correctly.

Thanks for the help, hope we can figure this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reverepats:
Man I love learning more on how to use ADB and Fastboot. Thanks for this. Lets see if it will stick now. TIA++

EDIT....yup stuck after 3 reboots...AWESOME!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dansan382:
i had an issue earlier with recovery.

i unlocked, rooted, flash clockwork. rebooted and then used rom manager to flash the newest clockwork. one time when i went to "reboot into recovery" it brought me to the stock recovery console for some reason. i had to reboot into the phone, reflash clockwork through rom manager and do it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Please screenshot the command window so we can see what error you are getting.

Follow the 5 steps under "How to Install ClockworkMod". This will make it permanent. It's a known issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dansan382:
yea, thats exactly what i did earlier. just posting up just in case anyone else was curious about the "bug"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
So it's working for you now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OneAn9ryN00b:
Got kind of a noob question, What is the difference between permanent root, and the other option. If if i do go the permanent route, and say i have to return my nexus, will the stock images put back on the stock recovery?

Edit: I think i answered my own question, permanent means with I do the three button, and select recovery, it will load clockwork, while the other way wont do it unless i select it from the ROM Manager...Someone correct me if im wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dansan382:
yea, it worked. haven't had any problems since. took me like 2 minutes to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trusstopher:
So I'm not 100% clockwork is the source of my situation but:

Before leaving work I installed clockwork with no problems and went ahead and did a full backup. As soon as that back up was done and I was back in the OS I unplugged from wall power, put the phone in my pocket and left the office. About half way home I noticed that I didn't have a data connection while trying to do something on my phone. Once I got home I have tried:

Cycle Airplane Mode

Power Cycle

Power off, pull battery, hold power for 10 seconds, replace battery and reboot

replace the stock recovery file, reboot, boot into fastboot and confirm clockwork is removed, reboot

After all of these, I still have no data connection... thoughts? I guess I should proceed to unroot, then re-lock?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
I can't find /system/reboot-from-recovery.p to delete?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] essplode:
Are you using Root Explorer and were you able to grant it root access?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
Yes, but I still don't see this under system. All I see is recovery-from-boot.p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trusstopher:
To follow up on this, I re-locked my device (still no data connection), and finally did a factory reset which finally re-enabled my data connection. I just finished Re-Unlocking and Rooting, about to try to reinstall clockwork and see what happens if I restore to the backup I made just before losing data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digitalscars:
If i have my phone plugged in and power down the device, it freezes on the battery animation. only happened after I rooted and flashed CWR, not running any other rom or mods, just stock rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trusstopher:
Nevermind, just learned (remembered) the hard that when you do a factory reset, the lack of SD card means that nandroids and TiBu files all get demolished... well, looks like I get to start my device from scratch
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
Same here

This is right after booting from cwm. I get the red triangle when I try getting into it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Thats it. Rename it (I added .bak after the p) or delete it. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
What about me? I don't see it anywhere lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cadillac Kid:
is there anyway to install this without having to use a computer can I use rom manager and update a recovery?

It took me forever to unlock and root this device and my computer is on the Fritz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Why don't yall just install from the App in the Market..? That's what I did, have recovery 5.5.0.4, and works great. Rebooted (from app) into recovery and have flashed 6 files (all on different trips to the recovery). Only problem I've had, is that after flashing .zip you have to go to advance settings, restart recovery(takes two seconds) then go to reboot device.

Install method:

Go to market, search "Clockworkmod"

Install Rom Manager*

Open up Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

A pop-up will come up called "Confirm Phone Model," of course choose "Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA"

Now let it install etc, then with a File Manager** with SU access, Go to system, click "Mount R/W" and then scroll down until you see "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"

Close out off your File Manager and go to Rom Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery"

There you go(:

* Free version works

**I used Root Explorer

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] staticx57:
I have the previous 5.5.0.2 LTE CWM, can I flash the new one through ROM Manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
I don't see a reason why not... but I'm not a expert. So attempt at your own risk, but i'm %97 sure you can
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
That's great and all but thats exactly what I'm using. From rom manager I install cwm CDMA. When I go into root explorer an go to /system that file is not there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Have you tried to reflash CMW? If so, I'd go back to stock recovery and do it my way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bangdrum:
Yes, it says i have it installed. Even if I reflash it via the App folder is still not there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeoMagus:
Forgive me for asking this but if its not there isnt that the same as deleting it instead of renaming it? (it not being there, both were supposed to stop it from making the stock recovery come back) I think you have another problem if its not there and still kicking you to the red triangle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] youngpettyboi:
Thanks for the info, been following this thread and decided to take the plunge. I had the issue of my recovery not being permanent and the red triangle coming up when booting into recovery. Did the renaming the file in /system and it worked. I had to rename the system thru root explorer, and reflash recovery thru from manager. It sticks after reboots now. Thanks!!!!

Sent from my G-Nex son... U mad BRO?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
It's not in the app folder, its in the System folder. Go to the root of your phone "/" then navigate to "/system" and it will be a ".p" file. In Root Explore the Icon seems to be a Blank piece of paper with a star.

Yeah it's the same, but I tend not to delete stuff if I'm not sure what it is, and if the file is not there after flashing CWM for the first time, my only though would be to flash back to the original Recovery and reinstall CWM the way I posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dansan382:
mine was named something slightly different than what the OP posted. it was like, boot-recovery.p or something. i just moved it out of that folder and flashed clockwork. when i rebooted, it was gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Can you reboot into CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
I have oem unlock the lte gn. I have tried the manual way of the op and get this line as a return.

I have also tried to install recovery from rom manager. I get this message
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
Are you rooted? If you are and have SuperUser installed clear the permissions for ROM manager and retry, but if your not rooted then root first, then try again.

What it's saying is that it doesn't have root privileges
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
To root don't I need to install the recovery to flash the su apk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] th0r615:
I'm guessing you have the bootloader unlocked but haven't rooted it. This is how I rooted it: https://plus.google.com/103583939320326217147/posts/1Jsh9xPwnQP

Once you have root, use root explorer and rename/delete that file, then fash the recovery again from ROM manager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
No it's unlock boot loader --> root --> Custom Recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reverepats:
So lemme ask u guys something. I'm sure not new to all of this but I am to Sammy and CWM processes. So of course I have CWM installed perminately. So earlier I flashed AndroidREV and been running it all day. Things have been great. Now I just booted into recovery to flash a battery MOD for deodexed Roms. Soon as the recovery loaded up I was getting some sort of error stating "can't open cache/recovery log". Somewhere along the lines of that. Now I was still able to flash the Battery mod successfully. But when I attempted to "Reboot Now" the screen went blank. I pressed the power button and the screen came back on. But no reboot. Its if I just put the screen to sleep. I attempted to reboot again and for the same result. Down the very bottom of all the TEXT on the screen. I noticed it said "Back button has been disabled". I haven't seen that before. So I attempted to "Reboot Now" again, but this time I gave the power button a real nice hard press. And whala, it rebooted. Any ideas what the hell happened?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
for the "can't open cache/recovery log", those are harmless people using CWM on all different devices have those problems. As long as files flash properly and you can still bootup past Google Screen your fine, and for the reboot problem

If you go to advance (in Recovery), reboot recovery and then try reboot now it should work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] publicanimal:
I have downloaded several very large apps that I don't want to backup when I do a nandroid backup, or else my backups will be insanely large. On most of the custom recoveries for the Motorola Xoom there was an option to disable/enable the backing up of the userdata partition when doing a backup in recovery.

I have two questions:

1. Does the current recovery in ROM Manager for the CDMA Galaxy Nexus LTE backup all user data?

2. Is there a way to disable the userdata backup so you are only backing up the boot, system, and recovery partitions when you do a nandroid in recovery?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
This CWM bug has been reported on a couple of different threads. Simple workaround for now is to unplug your device before you shut down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JackpotClavin:
Does a factory reset with clockwork wipe the sdcard contents like the boot loader unlock did?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
I'm pretty sure it doesn't, I could be wrong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
No, it does not. But be aware that a "factory reset" from the main ICS settings will wipe "SD card".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] idefiler6:
The only file in /system for me is recovery-from-boot.p, I don't have the one in the OP. Is this a different file or the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
It's the same file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PsychoSimatic:
where the hell did you get this LTErecovery file from??? the original instructions or download links make no reference to this??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brocktice:
No way to back up?

Maybe this is because I encrypted my phone, but I can't seem to do a nandroid backup. The error message I get is:

"Cant' mount backup path"

I also don't see mount/unmount sdcard in the mounts menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
There is no sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brocktice:
No kidding, but other people are successfully backing up to the simulated SD card on the internal storage. I cannot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
The mount settings is to mount the sd card to the computer for other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brocktice:
I'm quite familiar with CWM on other phones, forget the sdcard thing. Main thing I'm asking: can't do nandroid backups, maybe because I encrypted the phone. Can anyone corroborate this or give conflicting evidence? Or better yet, do you know why?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theboo7:
What's it do/help with anyways? Besides "encrypt" the device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brocktice:
If the phone is lost (or stolen by someone with malicious intent, like some crooked TSA employee), none of the data on the phone can be accessed without the password and/or astronomically large amounts of computer power. Depending on the encryption scheme used, the amount of computer power required to crack it before the heat death of the universe could be impossibly large.

Need some help here guys...

My backup didn't seem to complete the way it did on my previous devices. I got a weird message and nothing saying the backup was completed successfully. any thoughts?

the last two lines when I try and do a backup are

"unable to find volume."

"Error finding an appropriate backup handler."

I tried to restore a backup I did before I tried to install Google Wallet because every time I reboot I get a box that says "Android Is Updating" and then it proceeds to "optimize" like 100 programs which takes several minutes. When I try to restore it says that the MD5 sum is invalid. Any thoughts?

I even wiped my phone and started over from scratch thinking I messed something up. I keep getting an MD5 sum mismatch when I try to restore from the backup...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesssiii:
CWR won't let me use "advanced" like it did on my Incredible. I thought it was just a feature not allowed on this phone, but if you're able to use it, I'm not sure what's happening with mine.

So you can wipe battery stats, clear dalvik? I also couldn't "format system" or even get into the mount section.

So, here's the deal. At some point over the past three days my power button has become so sensitive that to put the display to sleep requires only the slightest touch on the button. (I literally only have to brush my finger over it) It's getting turned off and on in my pocket, while I'm using it, etc.

I have been flashing the CM9 Alphas, and I began to notice it amongst the switching back and forth of the ROMS, but I just figure this is a coincidence, because I can't image it being a software issue.

Just wondering why people choose a certain carrier. I'm on AT&T. For me, it's because I get a 23% discount off my monthly bill because of my employer/company. What are your reasons for being with X carrier?

1. Financial i.e. monthly discount, cheapest plan, ect.

2. Reception

3. Family/friend related or family plan

4. LTE in your area?

5. Specific/high end phones?

I have Sprint. It was more of a legacy thing for me. My parents had it so I got it.

Plus they do a 15% discount for my work and were the cheapest single plan with the discount.

Of course now that I'm married, the plans of other carriers are a bit closer in price. Even with unlimited data, I only use maybe 1.5 or 2 gigs at the most per month, so it's not as worth it to shell out as it once was.
