I am rooted via Nachoroot. I cannot get into CWM. I have tried the Recovery Installer App - ROM Manager and other methods. All I get is the Android Green Guy with a Exclamation point. I have looked in the forums and cannot find directions on which method I should use to do this.
I am trying to install the Revolver Rom.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance...

It seems that CWM was not installed on your Transformer. The exclamation point Android is what the stock recovery shows you when it doesn't have an OTA image to install. Try to use whatever rooting tool you tried to use to reinstall ClockworkMod. I have not tried Nachoroot but I guess it must also provide such a thing.
I am kicking myself in the behind! I got it. Thanks.
What was the problem? This isn't happening to me, but so other new-rooters may learn from this.

This kind of problem usually resides in the user not installing CWM. Many tools here for the TF can root your device, but they won't install CWM. You have to run any CWM installer once you're rooted.

Hi all,
I recently unlocked my VZW Xoom using the OEM unlock instructions found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967065
I then downloaded the most recent CWM (3.025) and followed the instructions found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038870
I was able to write CWM to the recovery partition with no errors showing in either ADB or on the device itself. I verified the checksum of recovery.img.
What happens now is that when I reboot to recovery from ADB, the red Moto logo shows up, and at first everything looks good. At the top it says "Reading ODM fuse 1".
Then, a green Android logo with a yellow exclamation mark on it appears over a black screen. It looks like some sort of error message. I have CWM on my phone so I know this isn't what it's supposed to look like
In any case, has anyone else seen this issue (or better yet, know how to fix it)? I should point out that after a few minutes, the Xoom automatically boots into HC and works just fine.
it kind of sounds like the recovery didn't flash. Have you tried to flash it again?

Hi - thanks for the response.
Yes, I've tried that, rebooted the device, rebooted the PC, tried it again, etc. Still no dice
does it still boot? if so try installing rom manager and using it to flash CWR

Yep, it still boots. I've never used ROM manager, but I did happen to just download it. I'll give that a shot.
Two other things I didn't mention in the OP:
- I do not have an SD Card in the slot.
- I also didn't 'root' the phone yet with the SuperUser APK, only unlocked the bootloader. Would either of those cause the issue?
I believe you have to root to flash recovery. Here is an easy way to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011196 its the one click method just make sure your not doing anything else while running

Already in the works I'll let you know how it turns out.
Initially, it seems odd that ADB/fastboot wouldn't return an error if root is needed for flashing recovery. Time will tell...

Root was the answer. Duh. I feel dumb now.
Either way, once I get to 10 posts, I can post in the dev forum thread to make it clear that root, not just OEM unlock, is required to flash CWM so that dummies like me can get things working quickly
nice, glad that you got it working.
Be sure to install Tiamat 1.31 so you can use your SD card and get full access to CWM
Rom Manager question
Has anyone found a way to allow Rom Manager to "Manage Backups"? It appears that it isn't pointing to the correct directory/ folder.
Had the same issues after installing CWM from ROM Manager - used the adb method instead and this fixed the issue. (Xoom was already rooted and OEM unlocked)
Tried to Flash a Gingerbread rom, and now when I go into recovery mode, it says Can't open /cache/update.zip and that's all I'm able to do with it. I can't factory reset it or wipe it or use rom manager to flash a different rom. Any ideas of what I can do? Appreciate it.

How did you install CWM recovery? Did you use rom manager or did you do it the proper way with NVFlash?
I used Rom Manager. I wasn't sure how to set up the NVFlash.. Or I couldn't understand it properly. Which I knew was my mistake. And a horrible one.

push the Nvflash method, you should be good to go after that. It's quite easy - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Will give that a go. Thanks.

I did the same thing at first. Didn't know the difference til I read a little more. Its a really simple process. Just follow each step and you shouldn't have any problems (knock on wood ... lol)
Hi everyone,
Sorry to ask this question but I'm really in need of help here, I have been reading and trying for the whole week how to install a custom ROM but unfortunately I'm having a hard time, I have an Atrix 4g motorola mobile from AT&T I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader, I have installed the adb also, then I'm trying to install CWM for Atrix 4g but I'm not successful, it looks succesful when I flashboot the device it even showed me "Flashing storemgr 505" then I typed flashboot reboot, hoping I will be able to use Rom manager then when I try to install Greyblur ROM from http://briefmobile.com/greyblur-rom-for-motorola-atrix-4g using the ROM manager(install from SD card), it will reboot and go the the android(exclamation point) logo, without the option of CWM recovery, it has only 4 options which is the default one
wipe data/cache
wipe cache partition
reboot
apply update from sdcard
I don't know what to do now, If I choose the update from sdcard it is saying error "cant open /cache/recovery command".
By the way I have downloaded the file from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541 so i don't think the file is the problem.
Thanks in advance.
I would recommend returning to stock firmware(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072) and watching this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHWRdnekvl8
I originally had a lot of trouble too when I got my atrix but that video goes step by step.
What your doing wrong is trying to flash through Rom Manager. You need to reboot into recover via Tenfars CWM app, then flash from sdcard. Do not use Rom Manager it is not ready for the Atrix yet. Use Tenfars and you should have no prob.
Thanks guys appreciate that, I'll try that out and let you know.
Hi guys, I went to flash back again to 1.26 now I was able to install application from non-market apps, and phone is rooted but the issue now is my wifi, since it is restricted here in our country I have followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077329

how did you root? If you use Gladroot you can run the "afterupdate" to retain root after updating to 1.86.

Hi,
I forgot the name of the tool if I'm not mistaken it is gingerbreak, I run it on my android phone then, it gave me the superuser.
The phone came with the 1.86 I did not update it, but since It is not working from my country I have to root to install the link above, which is to replace my wifi drivers. Then after replacing I was able to connect from the wireless here.
Now I used the method to flash to 1.26 and rooting using the Gladroot, then using the method on the link above to fix the wifi drivers, I'm not able to connect to my wifi. I don't know what I did wrong here, any help would be appreciated thanks.
hi,
I have a hisense tablet. I downloaded goomanager and it has a rom or file that is 4.4 something but goomanager says i need a recovery rom. It said it would try and find me one I tried and it did not find me one. I do see a recovery rom on this website but im not sure I can follow those steps and wanted to use something like goomanager to install it. or a program as easy,,, Is that possible? I see CyanogenMod installers in play store , would one of them load it?
thanks

Go to Backup, Root .......
Click the button reboot in recovery or whatever it is....

Hi, Mtkdroid tools is only for use with mediatek devices, which I believe your tablet is not. I am not familiar with your device so can't really help with installing a custom recovery, but I'm sure if you use the search facility at the top of this page or google search the web for 'installing cwm on Hisense tablet' you will find some resources. Google is your friend
i was able to load recovery, than I tried to load the 4.4 rom and now my tablet is in recovery. I turn it off and it go's to recovery,,,,crap,,,now what?
guess you see im having problems. But i got it un-bricked,,,still can't get the taktiK rom loaded
Yesterday I rooted my nexus 5 following a guide from teamandroid website for android 4.4.2. Everything went okay and I was able to root it.
Then today I wanted to experiment with xposed framework but realized that I didn't have a recovery when I tried to make a backup. So first I tried installing TWRP through Goomanager but for some reason it would fail after the download. So I decided to install CWM touch trough fastboot. So I installed it and then did a backup. The problem came when I tried to exit. A message appeared and it said "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?". I pressed yes, and then it told me something like "Root may have been lost. Try to get it back?" and pressed yes again. I rebooted and thats when supersu dissapear.
I panicked and tried to do the same procedure fro the guide again to get root. I repeated every single step but it wasn't succesful. I thought that maybe CWM was causing the problem so I installed TWRP trough fastboot and did the root process one more time. But again supersu just wouldn't appear back.
I really don't know what else to do. Everything in the stock ROM works fine but I just can't root my phone again. Does anyone know what I can do?
PS: Im not a native speaker.
just flash the latest supersu in your recovery, that is all. did you really search?
