trouble going from CWM to smelkus recovery on evo 4g - General Questions and Answers

what is the standard procedure on changing the recovery? i have CWM on it right now. not sure on how to remove that and then install the smelkus one. found a video on yt saying to use terminal emulator to flash it, it "flashed it" but now it just goes to the bootloader menu where you choose fastboot or the other option. still boots into the OS fine tho

No. You run those commands from your PC.

finally got it, opened rom manger and it had the option right in there to flash smelkus. so its all set, thanks!

ROM Manager having some trouble flashing ClockworkMod

So, basically ever since I've had my phone rooted and had ROM Manager on it, it has had trouble flashing Clockwork Recovery for me. I'll select for it to flash, it will appear to do so, but when I try to boot into recovery, either manually or from ROM Manager, it will just go to the default bootloader. When I attempt to choose Recovery from there, nothing will happen, and I'll have to reboot my phone and attempt to flash CWM again, and again, until it finally boots into it.
This always used to work after about 3 tries though, but now suddenly, it's just not even going anymore.
Is there anything I can do to make this process easier (or actually work)?
Set cwm to erase before flashing.

Or just use the fastboot command and flash recovery that way.

What command would that be? /noob
The command is called fastboot. You run it from a command prompt. You need to download the recovery image, then from the command prompt type:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryimage.img
There are multiple guides on here that explain it step by step

First off, sorry for taking so long to reply.
That was extremely noobish of me, I had completely forgotten about fastboot.
Turned out that solved it. I'm not sure what was going on, but all seems to be well now.
Thank you for your help!

but no matter where or how i call it. it wont load. please help guys. I had android sdk install before but i had to wipe my pc clean and i just recieved a replacement nexus s 4g.

Place the recovery you need in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\recovery.img
Open up command prompt and type:
cd \android-sdk\platform-tools
Now, make sure it detects your android:
fastboot devices
You'll see a line with a serial number, you're good to go (remember you need to be in fastboot mode while you do all of this, Vol. Up + Power while off)
Now, just flash the recovery.img (i'd recommend the latest recovery from clockworkmod.com):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.img and i hit enter and it flashed. weird. but thanks dude i greatly appreciate it for sticking it out with me.
Wonderful. You probably have "hide file extensions for known file types" checked. So when you downloaded the original, it ACTUALLY had a .img on the end of it already (which windows hid from you). Windows, unlike unix, cannot differentiate files based on their header, but instead relies on a useless extension in the file name of all places (ie, .img, .mp3 and .jpg at the end of the filename).
And noo problem mate, happy to help.

weird. i downloaded superuser from the their website and flashed. it didnt show. so i downloaded it from the market and tried running an app that requires su permission and it worked. am i missing something here? why did this work that way?
Flash this su.zip file. There was an older su version that automatically accepted any su access because it wasn't compatible with ICS yet.
thanks. it feels good to finally be rooted. i was stock for 2 days.. lol thanks

Thanks. the TAB autocomplete worked. I had forgotten about the additional file extension. gotta change that setting. Thanks again

Mainly it happens when You go to TWRP after flashing it without reboot. Reboot should fix it, if not - reboot tablet after flashing TWRP.

Well what had happened to me was I already had an old version of TWRP on my internal memory and I put the new version on my SD card which I wanted to flash. When I flashed twrp.blob, it flashed a very old version with an incompatible bootloader (whoops) which gave me the password error. So I put the new version on my internal memory, flashed twrp.blob again, and it worked.

delete the 2.1.4 trwp from your tablet altogether
The do this exactly from fastboot:
Download the file, check the md5, rename to twrp.blob and put the file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere). Turn off your device and boot to fastboot (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm). The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. Run the following command via the command line:
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

So put the 2.6 -42 TWRP in your fastboot folder, then run the command.

[Q] 2 Issues when rooting: No SU binary installed, & red triangle on dead android.

[Q] 2 Issues when rooting: No SU binary installed, & red triangle on dead android.
This is my second root ever, I am still very new to this process but my first root went smoothly.
So basically the problem started when I copied the SuperSU file onto my phone using the command
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU-vX.XX.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After that, I tried finding the zip file through the TWRP recovery screen but I couldn't. I figured I'd go reboot my device. Once I pressed on reboot, a screen popped up asking if I wanted to install SuperSU, "ok cool" I thought and swiped to the right to install. At this point I thought my phones rooted.
I open up SuperSU and I get the error message:
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root - consult the relevant forums for your device!

I'm on 4.2.2
I decided to go back to recovery mode and that's when I saw the red triangle over the dead android. I thought I had bricked my phone but i'm back to my regular home screen.
Can anyone help me please?
How did you apply TWRP? Did you boot it or flash it. If you chose to boot it, the custom recovery won't stick.
The dead android you are seeing is the stock recovery.
My advice is to boot back into the bootloader and flash the recovery, then flash the SU,zip

The red triangle with the android is just the stock recovery. What commands are you using to flash TWRP? I'm assuming you unlocked the boot loader.
You should type in "fastboot flash recovery name_of_twrp_file.img"
Download the supersu.zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.89.zip and put it on your phone while the phone is on and connected to a computer. (Just drag it in)
Then reboot into TWRP and flash that file.
Say NO..again NO to the part when it asks you if you want to root. It shouldn't ask you, but if it does, say no.

After it says finished, use the volume keys to select "Recovery Mode" and press the power button to go into it. Then flash the supersu file that you transferred earlier. (the new version).

Stuck in Bootloader (Solved)

So i recently tried flashing a new kernel and for whatever reason my pixel 2 did not like that at all. Upon reboot after flashing it now just goes into the download mode where i have the option to reboot bootloader go into recovery and go into download mode. Normally not a big issue at all but this time when i go to load into recovery or load into Download mode its says Operation Denied. Upon a reboot or trying to reboot into safe mode it says ERROR: Slot unbootable: Load Error. Will ADB still work to flash this? not really sure what to do at this moment.
EDIT: Solved it by using Fastboot and flashing the stock firmware without the -w so far everything is back to normal....know to get that dern kernel again

ADB=system. Fastboot=boot. You can't boot your phone, so you're not in android, thus no ADB devices. Type "fastboot devices" and see if it's recognized.

Good news! So, your best bet at this point would be to re-flash your current factory image, with /w removed. If you still want that same kernel, flash it before Magisk.
Just out of curiosity, what method did you use to flash it in the first place?

It wipes all your data, that's why you remove it from the flash-all.bat script, unless you need to perform a full wipe. Telperion has an excellent guide for installing the lastest software, if you haven't already read it.
I've heard users having back luck flashing kernels in TWRP, as the kernel has something to do with recovery. I always use the method of booting the TWRP image in fastboot, use ADB to push the files to /tmp, and then do an ADB shell TWRP install of those files. TWRP, kernel, then magisk, in that order. I always reinstall all three, just to be on the safe side, and have never had any issues. Takes a little while, but not as long as redoing the whole freaking thing:silly:
Looks like you figured it out, before I finished my reply
