Are you selecting with the power button or volume up? Power button boots device normally no matter what while volume up selects option highlighted.

Yes.

Hey guys, quick question. Im on stock kk but i have the unlocked bootloader, no root. Can i flash cwm from stock recovery ? Is there such a zip ? I dont have access to a pc for about 2 weeks and i wanted to install a custom rom. Thank you

i have flashed CWM , but its not going to recovery , when i want to goto recovery it will boot up the system after showing me warning text tell your bootloader is unlocked.

any help?
[Moto G Android Development] readonly24:
Dear a1Pha / dhacker29,

can you change the location of the CWM backups to somewhere on the sdcard, please. I think /sdcard/backups is already a default Android directory, would make perfect sense for me to put the CWM stuff also inside it.

What do you think?
[Moto G Android Development] justanut:
Can't access Internal Storage

Strangely my Moto G Developer Ed can't seem to find its internal storage using either your CWM or TWRP for the Moto G. I've tried mounting /data which also failed. Can anyone enlighten me please?

*Update*

Workaround while waiting to be enlightened is to use Flashify... which strangely works...
[Moto G Android Development] Cooptx:
There is no developer edition....
[Moto G Android Development] dhacker29:
If you're referring to the Google play edition, it will require different recovery and ROMs as the data partition is formatted ext4 vs f2fs on the retail editions.
[Moto G Android Development] kellerman40:
I'm pretty new to custom roms, custom recoveries and backup, since Moto G is my first Android phone. But I understand how great and neccesary it is to have the ability to fully backup and restore a system. I tried to flash CM and restore back to my backup (due to a bug) with CWM 6.0.4.6, works beautifully. I havent tried TWRP as CWM does the job nicely.

And I also noticed that you can access the backup folder only via root and it was /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup if I remember correctly. It is a bit messy to move the backup folder to sdcard and then copy over USB or pull via ADB, but nothing terrible lol. I prefer not to leave backup on my phone, because I like as much free space as possible on my 8GB version of Moto G.

I think that there is less possibility to mess up or accidentaly delete your backup if it is stored under /sdcard, so maybe more secure place to store them. :D

Sorry for such a noob question - If i move back a backup to /sdcard (to save it on my computer via USB afterwards) and then take it from my PC move the folder to /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup then I will still be able to restore it right? And how about pushing via ADB, still should work right?

There are probably other ways to get the image to flash it over CWM for example if you mess your /system up so it wont boot, im just new to this, havent explored yet :)
[Moto G Android Development] daveparki:
root possibly lost

Bootloader unlocked and rooted, however when I flashed TWRP my backups failed everytime, so installed CWM and backed up fine....... eachtime I exit CWM I get a message ' Root possibly lost ' Fix or not fix, what does this mean although it appears not to mess things.

cheers in advance
[Moto G Android Development] SWTR:
Can we have CWM touch?
[Moto G Android Development] denzel09:
Twrp is not good yet, too many problems really. Better cwm atm.
[Moto G Android Development] daveparki:
Yeah I agree, TWRP never worked, but it is just the error on CWM, although I have held of flashing a rom or seeing if the backup works for another time.
[Moto G Android Development] maurocds:
how do you format internal storage with this recovery??

i mean format, delete all stuff (like pics, music, whassap folder)
[Moto G Android Development] soyd:
I lost my sdcard access from CWM

I did "sideload" to root for now...

Is there a way to solve this somehow, to get the sdcard access back in cwm ?. Would be good to be able to take a backup to sdcard etc...

If you mean the "NO .android_secure found skipping apllication on external storage" it's ok.

I had Xperia Ray before Moto G, and it has a small internal storage, so some users moved apps to external storage. We have enough space, so we don't move them. Backup will always skip this.
[Moto G Android Development] a1Pha:
Yep, and this is also the right answer ;)

Thank you dear

but i didn't ask for OTG .. i have a problem when i go into the recovery i could not mount my usb storage

there is an option in CWM recovery " or any other recovery " >> mount > mount usb storage

this option let you to transfer files from your pc to your mobile " when you are in recovery "

i think it is important because if anything happened to your rom .. you can transfer another rom and flash it!

when i press mount usb storage nothing happened :( .. it must be looks like " unmount usb storage " after you click at it and you pc must shows the phone as a usb

that it is my problem .. and i searched but could not find anything

i had Nexus s and everything was fine :)

Settings->Factory Reset causes recovery to hang

I first thought this may be my build of CM11 that was causing it, but I've restored to stock (US_retail_XT1034_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC) with CWM, did a factory reset within CWM so I was using a fresh setup and then after a normal boot used Settings -> Backup & Reset -> Factory Data Reset to run a wipe and the result is that it reboots to recovery and then the android having surgery with a progress bar would flash before the screen would go dark for a moment, repeat the flash/dark/flash/dark forever. I left it alone for almost an hour to see if it would stop before impatience won out and I started poking around in the shell to see if I could figure anything out...

Assuming that you're building this from github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery/tree/cm-11.0, I initially thought the issue may be that current Android adds a --locale command which CWM doesn't know how to deal with, but I modified RecoverySystem in my build of CM11 to remove --locale, just to test if that helped and it doesn't. (At least, memory suggests it made no difference - I have to reinstall my modified CM11 to verify. Let me know if that would be useful...)

I'd be happy to help fix it if you have any pointers. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not particularly familiar with the internals of recovery or configuring it properly for a new device, but if you have a pointer or two I'm more than willing to learn ;)

Just in case the whole --locale explanation above wasn't clear, the following was captured while recovery was flashing the droid with `adb shell`...

/cache/recovery # cat command
--wipe_data
--locale=en_US
[Moto G Android Development] jamsh:
Your mention of the android having surgery, with flashing screen, reminded me that I have never found a solution this problem. I had the same after trying the factory reset from the Settings - Backup&reset-factory data reset option.

I attach a pic of my screen after trying a reset from recovery.
[Moto G Android Development] jharlap:
Yes, resetting from within recovery works. Unfortunately, I have an app that depends on factory reset working when done the way the Settings app does it, so until I can find a solution to this problem I can't support the Moto G - this basically affects any app that uses the Device Administration API, such as those that give you a remote wipe function for when you lose your phone.

[Moto G Android Development] dhacker29:
GPE != retail version. GPE storage is formatted ext4 and retail version is formatted f2fs. So they require two different recoveries with different fstab, at least for cwm

Eyyy Dude I don't know...the last thing I can think of is possibly restoring with Motorola Device manager or firmware through adb and start from scratch. Or wait for someone else to chime in to help. I'm going to look around in another place to see what I see.

"mismatched partition size" is nothing wrong, it is basically just saying, that the TWRP image is smaller than the stock recovery one.

You have to boot into recovery and wait for ~60s until screen turns black. Then press the power button.

I'm so stiupid....

I resolve problem.

Always when i downloaded recovery i seen "recovery" not "recovery.img" then i change name for "recovery.img" but was then "recovery.img.img" but computer dont show me that.

now i only downloadedand i see "recovery" but i write in adb flash recovery.img and is ok ;)

Thanks a lot for time spend on my problem :)

I watched a few tutorial videos and unlocking bootloader was fine, so was rooting. But for some reason sending the recovery failed. So that's what it is. You don't have to name the file ".img" It's already named that by right clicking and selecting properties. It just has to have .img when you type it in command prompt.

one question => whenever i reboot from cwm, it ask possibly root lost..fix it ? yes or no

any idea ..what is this ?
[Moto G Android Development] ReaperXL2:
Bro, that message is just a failsafe mechanism of CWM... 99.99% of all rooted roms, stick through all re-boots, but there is always several exceptions to that rule :crying:...

Just reboot your phone from cwm & check if you still have root? If you do, then you know you do not have a problem & can safely ignore the root message within CWM upon exiting.the recovery...

If you have lost root however, then boot back in to recovery & when asked the re-root question, just answer yes...

Remember though that re-root is only necessary if you do indeed lose root after accessing the CWM recovery...

Hope things are clear for you know bro :highfive:
