Clockwork won't stick, any ideas? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm on 2.3.5 and I rooted using (one click root) method and everything is cool but I find myself having to flash clockwork every time via rom manager, is there any way to make it stick?

Yea I would tell you why if the forum search was working. You need to make a flashable zip for this to work. Don't remember the reasoning behind it. A zip was posted in one of the cyanogen threads if I recall correctly. Once search is back up I suggest searching for 'adfree' and clicking the "show posts" radio button.

Install it from clockwork the same way you flashed your rom.

How are you installing busybox? If you haven't already tried this way, install titanium backup, then open titanium and click the "problems" button on the bottom. That will give you the option to install a working version of busybox.

Just go clockworkmod and push hosts file to /system/etc via ADB.
P.S. don't forget mount system first.

Too bad you weren't rooted because rom manager would have been the ticket
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
You may be able to actually. Brainmaster made a flashable cwm it doesn't work for me sadly. It may work for you though. Give it a shot
I'd post a link but I'm on tapatalk. Search the nexus development forum.

How to root but save data g2x

I have a G2x with the stock 2.3 rom installed. I would like to root the phone but maintain my app data. I can't use titanium backup because I don't have root. I tried installed the rooted stock 2.3 rom but lost all app data.
Any suggestions?
If all you're doing is rooting you shouldn't lose any data. You only lose data when actually flashing a ROM, not by rooting your current one.

I knew about the zip, but will superoneclick still not work on the g2x? I know it used to not work with gb, but since they updated it I know it can do some phones on gb.
I rooted a friends sgs2 stock 2.3.5 using superoneclick.

Use the nvflash method and back everything up using clokwordmod's backup option. No root required. You can also save your apps using something like App Backup and Restore from the Android Market:

Clean up tools are not good. If you can't wipe system/data factory reset in cwm you don't need to be flashing roms.

Well I did because in the op for cleanup batch he was having the same problem so I tried it didnt work and I know how to flash and wipe through cwm. I work in a place that does not allow radios and I love to have music when I work and the only way I can do that is Bluetooth.

Sorry to hear that out does not solve the issue for you. The reference link in the op includes the method with gb 2.3.3 just flip the recovery in the folder so you have cwm as the reference will push stock.
BTW if you don't need mute with bluetooth you should switch to anything over 2.3.3 as for some reason the disconnect problem gets resolved that way... I couldn't as I must have mute over bluetooth

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.
Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

Thanks but I have no option in super user to update binary.

In super user store to the left. You should see some green and possibly Red writing. Touch there and you now have the iron to update binaries.

Haha, not on this version Just says it's out of date. I think there's some kind of a flashable zip to update right now.

Just for clarity for future users who stumble on this thread, which method worked: updating your binaries or installing whatever is in the dropbox link?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified
