Problems by flashing clockworkmod - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I tried to flash the recovery mod but it doesnt work. I use the rom Manager but i cant find the "install-recovery.sh" to rename it and stop the reinstall of the original recovery. Hope you can help me.

what is your problem? flashing clockwork or removing the install-recovery.sh?
im confused because the content of your thread and thread title are two different things.

Removing the install-recovery.sh. cause i cant find them. I use the root Explorer.

When you first load root explorer, the script is in the /etc folder. If its not in that folder then you're golden. If it is, then rename or delete.

You need to rename a script in the /etc folder, i think it's called install-recovery.sh

Rename install-recovery.sh to something else. It's in /system/etc
Need a rooted phone for that and a read/write capable file explorer, eg SuperManager. After renaming flash the recovery one last time.

Deleted Swype on accident :(

I was messing with my newly rooted A2 while driving (I know, it's a big no no ><) and I accidentally deleted swype. I tried factory resetting the phone and now all that shows up is the Multi touch keyboard in settings. Can anyone post it so I can re-install it?
Here ya go. And remember no playing with your phone while driving...You could really mess up your phone.
Thank you! I installed it but it's not working?? I did it like a regular app, am I supposed to install it in a different way??

You have to use root explorer and put it into /system/apps/ folder then restart the phone.
I did and still nothing >< do I need to set permissions??
Edit: or maybe I need the .odex file that comes with it?? I'm just giving ideas :/
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
Ok so I messed around with the permissions a bit and I can get Swype to appear in the settings and input method BUT it keeps FC whenever I try to access swype settings or switch to it as my keyboard. Any suggestions?? DO I need the .odex file??
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
you need to fix permissions and need the odex file, as well as the libSwypeCore.so file from /system/lib
I overwrote the latinIME.apk and latinIME.odex on my atrix 2 and forgot to backup can someone get me the stock apk and odex files? and will using root explorer work or will i have to use adb? thanks in advance, i'm kinda new at this.
nevermind, i found the post with all of the system apps, it's right here if anyone needs it.

Do NOT use root explorer EVER, to put system files in place. ALWAYS use adb to push the files, then chmod them to 550 once they are moved into place.

[Q] /data empty

i botched a simple bootanimation.zip change. i also cannot find the steps i was following. i have a sensation ARHD brand new version. i chose a bootanimation i like followed the steps using the program File expert. i copied and pasted into, if i remember properly /data/local once i hit paste a prompt came up and i i saw that i chose overwrite accidentally, but i didnt get a chance to read it. in any case it didnt work rebooted/powered off my phone and now the /data folder is not showing and under system/ i believe there used to be a data folder in there as well. What did i do? where are those folders? How can i successfully change my bootanimation? im new please be gentle with me.
I'm going to help you
First thing I need to know before we go any further, Do you have a Nandroid of your ROM?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Nope the only back up i did was with CWM and i know Nandroid is a backup but i dont know how to do it.
thanks for responding
there is no /system/data...there's /system and /data..
Are you having issues or did you just think something went wrong bc you cant find that directory?

A backup in CWM is a nandroid..In the old Amon recovery it was just called a nandroid and is stil typically referred to as that, but a backup in CWM is the same.
If the bootanimation didn't change (or changed to nothing), you probably need to set the permissions...This can be done a few ways, either thru the command prompt or a file explorer. You need to give it read and execute permissions..From the command prompt you should be able to run "chmod 777 /system/media/bootanimation.zip" and that should work fine
no issues thankfully. just believe something went wrong bc i couldnt find that directory.
Also try another app such as root explorer. Some of these apps have a hard time reading /data.
Edit: glad you got it... Lol posted while you were posting

Theres a free file explorer on here called "root browser" that works great.
I think the issue here is the file permissions.

How to Flash zipped file without custom recovery?

Hi there!
I have U30GT tablet which unfortunely till now didn't have any custom recovery. Some time I want to flash files to the ROM but due to this limitation I need to copy the files manually (easy job) and set the permission (hard job when there's a lot of files).
So is there any other ways that I can automated the task of copying the files and setting the correct permission without using custom recovery?
Many thanks!
Have you tried using a script or bat file to copy and set permissions through adb from your desktop?

Thanks. But I don't know how to do a script or bat file to be used with adb. Can you write up some guide for it?
I'll see what I can do. No garruntees. But another option is to push the files through adb then use v6 supercharger to fix emissions. Idk. Let me see if I can Whip something up for you.

package can be flashed through stock recovery but they are needed to be signed properly with the manufacturer's key

Thanks but I wanna copy files for some tweaks only.
Well I found 1 solution, that is to manually copy the files than use ROM Manager app to fix permission. Also found thread here in XDA about using .bat file to automated the push and set permission but as I very lacking in knowledge in using command, I'll stick to Root Explorer + ROM Manager combo.
you can root device,cat stock recovery.img,and then compile cwm recovery.
Check this website someone is working on getting CLOCKWORK recovery on U30GT

question about "root/storage/emulated"

Can someone explain this to me, why does root explorer can't access files on "root/storage/emulated"
You know, nexus 5 virtual sdcard directory is "root/storage/emulated/0" but CWM backup directory is "root/system/clockworkmod"
I used to place the .zips for flashing new roms at "root/storage/emulated" using CM's file manager, though I'm on PA I installed CM's file manager from CM App Installer
the problem is CM's file manager not guaranteed to run on every rom. And from root explorer "root/storage/emulated" is not shown correctly (yes it can be accessed but the .zips and clockworkmod backup directory is not shown). But from CM's file manager it is accessible
Here I attached the problem I mean, you can see on the root explorer there's only 2 folder on "root/storage/emulated" (0 and legacy) but from cm's file manager it shows another files
What went wrong?
Sorry if my English are weird since English is not my primary languange
Because CWM is outdated.

Can't explain why it shows in cm. I don't/won't use it.
Storage/emulated isn't a real location. Click the link in my signature and then find my data info thread. Everything is explained there. And stop using cwm

I figured out that the files is at "root/mnt/shell/emulated"
I don't know why Cm and rootex shows different directory
OOT, what rom are you running now? Just curious
And Philz touch at your signature, can I just flash the .zip in cwm to get it replacing my current cwm?
I use slimkat and yes you can
FYI the true location of sdcard is /data/media/0
