Site is back up. I read somewhere that you can just paste the recovery.img in an old cwmr zip file and flash it in recovery. I tried that and it worked just fine.

Using Astro, i just went into the old recovery zip, deleted the img, pasted the new img, and then installed it in recovery. Pretty easy. I would have just used fastboot, but I don't have that on this windows computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
To answer this definitively, yes, it matters. Haha I learned that the hard way. You will get Status 7 errors if you flash the Maguro Recovery and try to install Toro builds. So, there is a definite difference in recoveries. Make sure you use the right one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BriVG:
Any word on a 6.0.1.9 for Toro? I'm assuming that this version for Maguro fixes the JB 4.2.1 directory issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xavier86:
6.0.1.5 has the fix.

Edit:

The images there aren't packed as a flashable zip, just the image file. A way around this if your not familiar with fastboot is flash image GUI.

I have that one and when I went to see if I could restore a 4.1.2 rom from after installing a 4.2.1 rom recovery couldn't find any backups! After some searching I found that u had to move the clockwork folder from data/media/0 to data/media. So I'm not seeing this "fix".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitsua98:
Wouldn't it be easier to just download ROM manager from the market and install the recovery from there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BriVG:
That's what I did... Anybody use cwm latest to nandroid back to a 4.1 rom easily?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xavier86:
Except from having to move the contents from the 0 folded back over to where they're supposed to be yes it was an easy downgrade. Just make sure you perform a full wipe of system, data, cache and dalvik in the advanced menu.

The recovery fix was more for the ROMs creating multiple 0 folders when going from 4.2 to another 4.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V00D00.:
For people who want to flash through their recovery....just download the 6.0.1.5 recovery image and also one of the flashable zips to your computer. Then rename the first file to recovery.img. In the zip file there will be two folders, find the one called "cwm". Open that folder. You will see a file called recovery.img. Copy the first file you renamed into that folder. Your computer will ask if its okay to overwrite the file, click yes. After that, exit out of the zip file and transfer it to your phone. Then flash it.

flashable via fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefatalepic:
I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, but I used CWM to create a flashable nandroid zip. Then I put it on my new replacement phone (over MTP copied zip to sdcard/Download/) after rooting and using ROM Manager to flash CWM recovery. I used CWM to flash the zip and it worked, so I then put all my files back from my PC into the 'sdcard' as I originally had them.

Now everything works fine and dandy, but whenever I boot into recovery and want to flash a zip, the "sdcard" directory it shows is some invisible one that I can't find on my phone. I can scroll down to "0" (as in sdcard/0/) and this is the "sdcard" I see on my phone.

Problem is, that nandroid zip is still in "sdcard/Download" but I can only see this in CWM recovery. When the phone is booted, "sdcard/", "sdcard/0", and other locations I find all show me the same "sdcard" contents.

How do I delete the ghost "sdcard" directory and why does CWM default to that one when I am trying to flash zips?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dansan382:
Golden rule broken. Don't flash a backup from one device onto another. Even if its the same phone model. That's always want i heard. That and never restore system data from one ROM to another
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefatalepic:
Wow, really? I knew it might have seemed too good to be true. I did scour the interwebs a bit for reports of people restoring nandroids on replacement Galaxy Nexus phones with no issue. I saw quite a bit actually that convinced me to take the plunge. I actually did it because I thought it would restore the entire contents of the phone since I saw nandroid being defined as taking a complete snapshot of the phone - turns out the sdcard contents are excluded.

I haven't had a single issue aside from the ghost "sdcard" directory. I'm really hoping someone chimes in with a fix, worst case I'll have about 1.5GB that I can never free up. On one hand this forces me to keep a stable backup, on the other I tend to delete old backups as soon as a newer one is created.

I'm just in awe that there is now this invisible directory that I cannot get to. It's like I've created my own 'secure element'.

**Edit..Update: I'm an idiot. I used CM File Manager to search for 'zip' and found the file. Opened the parent folder and it turns out what CWM sees as "sdcard" is really /data/media/ but what is strange is that the /0/ folder there routes back to the real virtual sdcard directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyrdtrtle:
It's googles nonfix fix of the multiuser "feature" for tabs that they either couldnt or just didnt remove on phones. Instead of removing or hiding it they symlinked a hardlink to a symlinked sausagelink lol. Talk about a circle jerk, whats next? Apple maps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dustrho:
Are people still using CWM on the Nexus (toro)? I switched to TWRP, but have been pretty disappointed with the bloated direction it's going. Thinking about going back to CWM since that's what I used on my MyTouch3G years ago, and never had a problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Hell yea. CWM is nice. This is an older version. I just put 6.0.3.5 on my N7. I don't notice any major differences though.

I've tried TWRP but just don't like. It is just the design maybe. It is a pretty capable Recovery, but it just getting overly complicated and looks off putting. Perhaps it needs a little house cleaning and organization along with a fresh coat of paint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dustrho:
I switched back to CWM and am so happy that I did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taz1458:
Just switched to cwm from twrp and everything went much smoother. Rom is no longer lagging and everything is good to go!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
Flashed CWM 6.0.0.4 to my nexus and now it won't boot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
I have went in and rebooted a few times with 6.0.0.4 and have had no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
I flashed 6.0.0.4 with ROM manager without any issues at all...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htowngator:
I never use ROM manager anymore, always fastboot.

Everything was fine -- I even went into recovery to check it out after fastboot flash and it was fine. Did "reboot" and got stuck on google logo. Battery pull and restart so now it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] white2003:
Mine sat on Google for a while, but then rebooted. I like it. Doing a backup now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Used RomManager (LIKE I ALWAYS DO) to flash CWM 6.0.0.4 Touch

Rebooted into Recovery and enjoying the new gray background and software update.

There is nothing wrong with flashing stuff through RomManager.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johall07:
Does this fix the mount problem after wiping?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
The warning when you choose reboot is odd. Just want it to reboot lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stillthisguy:
The only thing I can think of, is that you didn't permanently flash the recovery. Because I don't have that issue with 6.0.0.4 Touch. I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit 7.4. I know it has the option to flash both permanent and non permanent, but have never used CWMR Touch app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I was receiving a reboot prompt after I selected reboot. Now I finally made my first extremely fast backup and then selected reboot and it worked as it always has w no 2nd prompt. Great! Just posting up because a few had mentioned it. Make a backup and maybe it will not ask you again. I dunno. My background is grey also. Looks nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztkryan:
Probably a stupid question but does flashing jellybean ROMs work with this cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:

Anyone have a 6.0.0.4/.5 flashable .zip? I'm at work and would like to flash this. :D Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
Damn it! I I've flashed like 5 recoveries today not an exaggeration. I have well I'm a suckered for updates where is that file located?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
I've been using rom manager to download and flash
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
i also flashed through rom manager nothing broke and rebooted fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilcdroid:
I added all of the flashable zips to the second post in the thread. I wasn't able to get 6.0.0.2 or 6.0.0.3 so it skips to .4 and .5. I'll try to keep up the post when/if they continue to update the file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikef3j:
I did the same. Works perfectly. Like the gray background too. THX!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illcat2000:
Okay so I've been on twrp recovery for a while so can someone clear up what the difference is between these files and what's available on rom manager? I flashed the newest there but then it asked for a donation if I want touch recovery. I'm confused I thought what they posted was touch or do you have to pay for that. Between that and the 20 updates today I'm confused.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilcdroid:
No difference between whats here and ROM mananger. All recoveries are located here. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/ The touch recovery is a free download from his site, but if you try to get it from within ROM Manager, you have to donate to obtain it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otaku91:
I flashed 6.0.0.5 and I can copy this folder now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:
Ok, I am on the Jelly Belly ROM and when I flash the latest touch recovery, load recovery, and then press reboot...I get the following message...

ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix? THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE

Then I get a bunch of NO options and one yes that says "Disable recovery flash"

ideas?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Try entering recovery and make a backup . Then try rebooting. For some reason mine was doing same thing. I only made a backup and then it started functioning as normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:
choosing yes seems to have fixed it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I chose yes a few times before the recovery was updated and it never took. You prob right that the latest one fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:
Seems to have. I rebooted in to recovery a couple times since and everything appears ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshtb86:
sorry for asking a dumb question, but will this work with ICS or only JB

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phio:
Its a recovery. Its not dependant upon the OS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] m0b1l3:
It needs to be able to flash multiple zips at once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xavier86:
That would be convenient but the touch is pretty efficient enough. Part of the glory is taking the back roads rather then the highways. 6.0.0.5 touch flashable zip works. I'll report back when I update to a new cyanogen nightly.

I have tried md5 checker, md5 hash checker and my favorite Hash Droid and they all calculate what's above.

Pay to restore?

I have a question. Somewhere I heard that you are free to flash the CWM touch and create a backup with it. But to restore the backup, you have to purchase the CWM touch....!!? :confused: Is that true?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikespe:
No problem...I just wanted to make sure...I've been wrong before. Thanks for posting the files. I had ended up purchasing from rom manager. Hate doing it but for some reason when I try fastboot I get the "waiting for device" message...

Anyone having problems restoring? When I select Restore, all I get as a choice is the backup I made before I upgraded. I have the Blobs folder which has files, but not sure if I am doing something wrong. Is the process different with this version of CWR?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xavier86:
So your previous backups aren't showing up? Is your most recent there?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phio:
I think he's saying it only shows previous backups, not the most recent one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nweaver11:
Exactly...only my old one is there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icon123:
Did you reboot to boot loader before you fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nweaver11:
I already have it installed and it is running great. I have installed kernels, mods, etc. I have done backups with success. The only issue is if I select Restore, all that appears is my backup from last week. Everything is good in the Blobs folder as well. Is there something I need to do that I am forgetting? Should I get rid of the old backup? I'm just hesitant to do so until I have this worked out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n8theshredder:
Had the same problem here. Back on stock ics now. ...fwiw, my phone has always had issues with bootloops and soft bricks on any JB rom.

I am on 6.0.0.5 and I made a back up earlier today and I tried to restore it as a test. It would not boot up. Had to flash the ROM all over again :( flashing things work fine though. Earlier back up might have been on one of the other 6.0.0.X
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] techbeck:

I flashed 6.0.0.5 Touch from the 2nd post and when in Recovery it does show that I am on 6.0.0.5, but ROM Manager still shows that I am on 6.0.0.4. Not a big deal, but just thought I would mention.

Ok this is BS! I made a fresh back up this morning and tried to restore and it will not boot up! I tried going back to recovery and clearing all cache and reboot to same thing. I have to do a full wipe and then re install the rom and start fresh. Where can I get the old version of touch recovery? 5.0.0.8? I think it was. Screw this new 6.0.0.5 it has wasted a couple of hours and my back ups are useless :(

I am having problems finding the older version we were using I believe it was 5.0.0.8 can anyone please link me to it or give me an idea where to get it. flashable zip wouldbe even better but I will take anything I am at work now and want this crap off my phone. The older version worked just fine for me and the new one seems like it takes just as long.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ronnyek:
Ive noticed that both of these have had an issue where they work just fine...but then when I choose reboot, it reboot but just hangs on the google logo with the little unlocked lock. I have to pull the battery out, and put it back in ,and then it boots properly. I've seen it happen at least 2x so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
That is a seperate issue. When the phone is stuck on google icon it is looking for something our phone does not have so it takes forever. That is a known issue. This it makes it past the google logo and then just hangs on the X boot animation. The google icon getting stuck comes and goes but be patient it will boot up. The google logo happens to me often but I read the reasoning in another post somewhere. I just wait and it will load up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bill12690:
Was having issues with 6.0.0.1, kept trying to flash gapps and it would just reboot into recovery. Gonna try this 6.0.0.5, may end up going back to an old version myself.

6.0.0.5 works fine unless you need to back up and restore. I really hope someone can hook me up with the older version.

to be 100% honest, i have not... after reading pages of people saying it doesn't work, i'm in no rush to try it myself. I have the old touch recovery saved and ready to flash when needed, but i'm in no rush to go back...

6.0 also acting funky for me. Tried making a backup and when I went to delete it , wouldn't delete. I read it was supposed to free files on making a new backup, but it just wouldnt go away, only thing that fixed it was this script I found over in N7 forum that clears the whole backup folder. So I am back on old version until someone says backups are working good on new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kentoe:
I tried to restore a backup with 6.0.0.5 and it would not boot.

For anyone stuck on needing to restore i flashed my original rom version that i had backed up then i did an advanced restore and restored JUST data from my backup and that worked.

E.g. I had jellybelly 3.7 erased it, tried to go back to 3.6 backup, wouldnt work. Erased everything, flashed jellybelly 3.6 booted up, went back to recovery, advance restored data, was back to everything except for a few system mods.
