Install CWM but always go back to default recovery

Hi
I installed CWM 5 on my Nexus S. I can reboot one time and go back to CWM but after a second reboot, the recovery is back to default and I have to reflash it
Does any of you already experienced this problem ?

happens to me. i go to rom manager and re flash cwm then reboot to recovery.

Are you both using stock? The stock rom has a script that restores the default recovery when you reboot.

Delete / rename /etc/install-recovery.sh
This script writes the stock recovery on boot.

I've experienced this as well, and plan to re-name install-recovery.sh.
For those that are continually re-flashing the recovery image, do you think there is a possibility of writing to that area too many times?
I've heard of NAND flash dying in flash drives after very data intensive operations, and I've also heard of ROM storage areas having a limited number of writes.
Just wanted to test the waters.

Always flash through Fastboot, Better than flashing from Rom manager.

I renamed /etc/install-recovery.sh and it works
Thanks

Happens to me until I started flashing twice everytime I flash a Rom ... =] try it

[Q] How to uninstall clockworkmod recovery?

I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 [GT-P3113]
I just flashed cwm recovery on it and rooted it, I've just wanted to try and uninstall clockworkmod and go back to stock recovery, I searched everywhere but I couldn't find anything for my tab model.
I'm running android 4.0.4, didn't flash any ROMs yet.

That should help you get back to stock.

Thanks, I have some questions because I coudln't post a reply to that post.
-I live in egypt and I bought my tab from the US, this rom is for the US so should I flash it normally? (will I get the OTA updates)?
-should I backup my data and so? (sorry it's my first device)

You should get ota's as its 100% stock. As far as flashing it no need to backup anything. You won't have root or cwr to use your backup. Flash via Odin and you should be good to go.

*I done that for my Galaxy Ace, I believe should be the same.
reverting back to Stock from CWM all you need is Odin and stock firmware which able to obtain from sammobile.
flash is with stock ROM via Odin will bring everything back to stock. *after flash, make sure swipe your data & cache OTHERWISE it will stuck and become boot-loop.

I did flash the stock ROM and recovery via odin, and it worked perfectly, thanks for the info thought because once I forgot to wipe data and it was stuck on boot-loop till I reached recovery mode.
I meant isn't there a normal way to go back to android recovery without flashing new ROM?

Can't really have stock recovery AND root... seeing as you install root via CWM
Besides you can do way more with CWM over stock.

If you are rooted with custom recovery you can flash only the stock recovery using mobile odin.

getting back to original recovery from twrp recovery
i have karbonn smart tab 10 (cosmic) .i have installed twrp recovery on my tab. but i cant find any zip files when i go into recovery and twrp is not working properly.i cant even root my tab. i want to go back to original recovery.please help.

Do you have a P5100 , P5110 or P5113 ? It don´t sounds like!
If not - don´t use this files! This might brick your device!
If you don´t have a P51XX you need to find a Stock-Recovery or Custom-Recovery for your Device.
If you have P51XX download and flash a StockRom - or extract the recover.img inside the XXX_HOME.tar.md5 and make it Odin-Flashable using this tool and flash it with Odin.

Help me pls

R u try flash to HC ?
** If u flashed and found a boot-loop after flash HC, please follow up latest post.

Halp!
Good timing, i have a similar problem.
I was at ICS 4.0.4 rooted then decided to downgrade to HC stock to back it up (since ICS is buggy).. I flashed using odin 3v1.85 using a single file PDA: P6200DXKL3_P6200OLBKK8_P6200DXKK5_HOME.tar.md5. After flashing HC, I'm stuck at bootloop.
Then I have no choice than to flash it up from there, since I can still access recovery 3e.. Firstly i flashed CWM 6 using odin, then tried to update CM10 from my external sdcard. Then this error shows up
Installing: /emmccm-10-20120904-UNOFFICIAL-p6200.zip
Finding update package...
E: unknown volume for path [/emmccm-10-20120904-UNOFFICIAL-p6200.zip
E: Can/t mount /emmccm-10-20120904-UNOFFICIAL-p6200.zip
installation aborted.
BTW I wiped data and cache using CWM. I accidentally formatted the sdcard my real objective is to mount it then I didnt notice.
oyea, tried flashing it using touch cwm, it worked but it boot loops..then i tried acessing recovery but it just went off, and i cant turn it on.
Good thing when i charge it on an outlet the screen goes on then i went to Downloadmode again. I reflashed it back to HC via odin.
NOTE: ( MY tab is ruinned. now the screen won't turn on, only when I'm charging it as previously stated. The only thing i can access is download mode
Thanks in advance :crying: I'm at lost

I have a experiences like this. I try entered to download mode and re-flash my tab to HC with Odin then reboot a device and wipe all user data.

Finally, I'm on CM10. :victory:
Flashing back to ICS fixed the bootloop, then from there it's history!
Though I forgot to copy the cwm backup of my ICS before formatting the sdcard. Now it's gone :silly: . Anyway, it's nice to start off from scratch.
Can someone tell me how to go back to stock HC/ICS from ICS from CM10 without the nandroid backup? Just in case some problems will occur in the future. Thanks!

I rollback from CM10 to Stock HC with Odin and download stock HC from Sammobile.com.

Thanks mate! I'll keep that in mind.
I just hope bootloop or bootstuck won't occur. Like when I flashed the single HC tar file from sammy from ICS. Cheers!

So .. what should I do?

Hope can, so here the step.
Try flash hc using odin1.85, put the firmware package to pda, check the re-partition. Select pit and put .pit file and flash.

check the recovery select your recovery.img from external sdcard and flash. Wait until it reboot to the recovery. Before u flash any rom please make backup to internal sdcard & Try to restore 1st to makesure your nandroid backup work. Also backup using go backup or titanium backup. If your nandroid backup getting weird this optional to get your data back.
3. Backup call log and sms. Please backup to external sdcard just change the backup folder in setting. This very useful to restore back your log & Sms after your flash new rom.

Do With Your Own Risk. And Don't Wipe Data using Ics stock recovery or temporary cwr. Since they detected have emmc brickbug and cause hardbrick. Hardbricks mean totally brick, only JTAG or change main board your last hope.

I'm on Paranoid Android 2.50 (Androi 4.1.2), coming from Android 3.2.
Onething that I'd like to share is you should flash a cusstom rom wwhen you're on Android 3.2. Some friends of mine used the stock Android 4.0 then flashed CM10 or Paranoid and their devices bricked.

although very beautiful and fluid is still immature has many bugs that I at least I consider fundamental for me ... for example, does not read the external sd ... not the video player does not read the pen drive .... well you would for hands just a phone and not a very large smartphone / tablet sfuttare in full ... I have uninstalled immediately expect a more complete version ... more well known problems and then decide to suit your needs if you install it or not. hello ..

Restoring Etotalk stock ROM (ICS) using boot.img & recovery.img

I used a mod ROM but I made a backup before doing that. The problem is that I use now CWM recovery (6.0.1.2) and I cannot restore the stock data. I get "Error while flashing boot image". I do not know what I am doing wrong
I go to restore from internal sdcard --> and I choose the restored backup
I have wiped all the data/cache & dalvik cash available. But still nothing. Does anyone know?

Did you use a different version of CWM recovery when you took the backup? If so it might have a different version of nandroid backup in it and be using a different backup format. If the CWM recovery is different, can't you put the original CWM recovery back on so the backup will restore with it?

Unfortunately I do not remember which recovery version it had but I am almost certain that it was the same version

An easy way to tell is to think about if you ever installed a new recovery. ROMs don't do that for you. ROM Manager has the ability to update your recovery image if you tell it to do so.
Your error is telling you that the recovery you have installed doesn't know how to handle the backed up boot.img. You could removed the boot.img from the backup and try restoring it again. Google it, if you don't know how to do that.

Does the MD5 check pass?
I just installed 4EXT Recovery, and it was able to restore my recent CWM recovery backups where CWM could not (>10,000 files bug). It appears that it doesn't support your device yet, but you never know.
Failing that, perhaps look at other alternatives. Maybe see if TWRP can restore CWM recovery backups, and if it supports your device.
Good luck.

Reboot to recovery, Wipe cache.

I did it no use...

What about sending it for repair again, then when it comes back do a nandroid restore of your data only (not system and other partitions), see whether that works.
