How do you install clock work mod recovery without rom manger
for which phone
LG Revolution verizon
I would use fastboot myself, but I'm using Linux which makes setting up fastboot easier than on windows.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
There's also the update.zip method. But knowing what phone you have would be helpful. Also, Google is definitely your friend here.

Is the a way to root with no custom recovery? i just dont want a custom ROM recovery or kernel.
You can use fastboot to boot into CWM recovery without installing it on the phone;
try:
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img
If you´re using the img file as I did, of course.
so just skip the actual installing part? And just load it.
could you point me to the guide you used ?
The ns automatically reinstalls the stock recovery at boot as long as the recovery.sh file isn't modified. You can flash cwr, install su then reboot to get stock recovery back. Just don't flash a pre rooted rom.

I had a HTC supersonic before the nexus s 4G and a Samsung Moment before that and I have Rooted probably 10 phone but mainly thous models sep for a epic and some intercepts but never used Linux commands so what I'm saying is I'm still a noob in the coding department not asking for a step by step walk through by maybe a link to a good guide. Thanks in advance
It ain't rocket science. Just follow the how to guide. You're acting like it is a bigger deal than it actually is. Its not difficult
I flashed latest clockwork mod after installing brainmasters ics tweaked. When i noticed my mms wasnt working i decided to re flash another rom but when i booted into recovery it got back into fastboot mode and tells me "no boot or recovery img"
I have re flashed all versions through rom manager but they wont stick. I tried to push it with fastboot and my computer but my Ubuntu 11.10 wont recognize my Ns4g. I installed all the android sdk, adb, and fastboot files but when I type ./adb devices its doesn't come up with my device. ./fastboot flash boot recovery3101.img doesnt work either. Juat says <waiting on device>
flash image by GUI
search market for this app and use it to flash kernel image.

1st. post in the correct section. This way you can get your answer quicker and you're not annoying everyone.
2nd. Find yourself a WINDOWS PC and install android SDK and all drivers for your phone to be recognizable. Then follow one of the posts in here to flash recovery.
You could also install ROM manager from the market and use it to flash recovery through it but its always good to have a proper SDK setup for this type of emergency.
This has happened to me before and I have fixed it by flashing the latest cwmr multiple times.
Try using a different USB cable if your com still doesn't recongize it.
PS now I use twrp and i like it a lot better

I didnt see any other NS4g section. Sorry bud.
Would flash image gui work well to flash twrp?
When i use rom manager it says successfully flashes rom but then i reboot and get the sane no boot or recovery img. I dont have access to a windows pc...
Can a mod please move this to the nexus help section?
As stated, reboot from and get rom Manager from market. Try reinstalling recovery or scroll down and there is an option to use older versions and flash an older version.

Make sure you have debug turned on.

I had this happen to me when I first flashed a ICS port. the only thing that worked for me was to dl the Flash Image GUI from the market & flash your cwm file.

might not be what you want to hear, but... maybe start from scratch again. find a guide that lets you revert to the stock image and then reroot. sometimes... you just have to start with a clean slate. good luck man. sounds like a stressful / annoying issue to have.

I just tried to flash twrp and then cwmr 5.0.2.0 with Flash Image GUI and neither of them stuck...
Is it my only option to ask my friends if I can use their computer? I hate loading things on peoples computer. I feel bad...

Im okay with starting over but I cant even get my computer to recognize my NS4G. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and I have Android sdk and fastboot on my computer but when I boot my phone into fastboot it isn't recognized by my computer. All "./adb devices" or "./fastboot devices" brings up is nothing!
If I can get my Linux machine to recognize my phone I would gladly return to stock unrooted and start over.
Flash twice in rom manager. See if that changes anything. Don't reboot between just one after another. Also, in rom manager hit menu and clear download cache before you try flashing.

No ./ its just fastboot
So it should look like
# fastboot devices
# fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Etc.

This happened to me and I was freaking out until I updated super users binary then flashed clockworkmod and it worked fine.

Oops didn't read both pages
I've had this happen to me several times. The problem happens any time I use an app (i.e. Rom Manager or Flash Image GUI) to flash a new recovery.
The only way I've been able to resolve it is to
1. Flash cwm 3.1.0.1 with fastboot
2. Go into recovery and flash cwm 5.0.2.0.
3. DO NOT update CWM when relaunching Rom Manager or like app.

Either work if he is in the right directory.
@OP: Did you follow the Ubuntu guide to have it recognize your device? I'm on Ubuntu and everything works fine for me.

I got Nexus S with cyanogen7 working on it.
I installed it using clockworkmod.
My problem is this.
When I installed cyanogen7 I did a backup using clockwork but now when I'm starting bootloader I got an error saying no recovery img found...
Now I want to install a new rom on my phone but I can't do that because
clockworkmod doesnt exist...
1.What should I do about clockwork?
2.Which is the most stable rom for my phoone right now?
3.What should I be careful about during installation?(need guide)
I found this...should I use it?

Did you try just reinstalling cwm from the market?

i had similar problems yesterday. What happened to me was i installed CWR with Rom Manager. After installing i would be able to boot into recovery from Rom Manager but if i just exit out of Reocvery and try to boot into recovery again from Rom Manager it would not boot. Then what i did was i unlocked my bootloader ( unlocking bootloader did a factory restore on my phone ) and installed CWR 3.01 ( one of the guide atalked about how the newest version didnt work for him and recommanded using this version) using Rom Manager and boot into Recovery . This time i just wiped everything ( The guide will show you what to wipe ) and flashed CM9 and gapps. Everything works fine now . Go to Google and search "XDA nexus s 4g root" you should be able to see the guide i used. there is one called "non-destructive way to root your nexus s 4g". To use the guide you will need to have SDK installed. JDK oracle is needed to install SDK. And use PDAnet will install driver for your nexus.. Yesterday i had problems with non-samsung cables.. If your computer doesnt see your device at all , consider a different cable.

Hi guys,
I have recently rooted my device and flashed a custom ROM (CyanogenMod), after 2 days there was an update for CM. Update was installed perfectly but then after the reboot "settings" on the phone stopped working. closed unfortunately. I went into recovery mode to flash the previous ROM. I am using "TWRP" recovery tool. This where I have done the blunder, I have wiped the system data and all of it. At the moment phone doesnt have any ROM to boot on. Please suggest me to how to flash the factory ROM or any other ROM. Can't really do anything as the phone wont boot up in regular mode (GOOGLE) thats all.

Can you sideload in TWRP?' It's even faster than pushing for the unpatient folk like me. lol
And yeah jd I still have the Rocket.
that was his first and only post, i bet he wont be back. sounds like a root toolkit child.
How?
Having said that I cannot detect the phone in the PC, how can i put the ROM in a folder?
Guess what? He's back!

Use this guide to setup fastboot. Then download the factory image to your computer. Use fastboot to install it and any other future roms.

My friend, you don't use fastboot to flash "ROMs".
Sorry woke up 5min before writing that. Running on 4hrs sleep now. Meant use fastboot to install stock image, flash a recovery. Then use custom recovery to flash future roms. Just pointing him in the right direction. With a little reading, he'll figure it out.
Hi Team, i have updated to android m on my nexus 5. However when trying to root using instructions from: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/how-root-a...ild-mra58k-nexus-5-6-7-9-nexus-player-1522653
I'm not able to install twrp with adb as well as one click recovery installer.bat as mentioned in the article.
I follow the steps and it shows it sent the recovery image and when reboot, it optimizes the apps as well ,however when i go to recovery, i get android dead icons with X.
Not sure what is going wrong
Could someone please help?
