[Recovery] official cwm 6.0.1.9 [update 11/16]

Removed all my Dropbox links because they disabled my account due to too much traffic, if you guys want them back please consider donating a buck or two for a Mediafire Pro account...​I didn't develop this, just getting the word out that's it's officially available for the Nexus 7. You can either install the "normal" version or touch version from ROM Manager
UPDATE 11/16 new version posted by Koush 6.0.1.9
CWM Regular
CWM Touch
Here is the CWM ZIP by osm0sis:
Touch 6.0.1.9
Regualr 6.0.1.9
You NEED an unlocked bootloader in order to flash this check this thread on how-to unlock/root etc Nexus 7 Toolkit
If you just want to apply an OTA update and you haven't got it, you can do so by booting into CWM without installing it or having root.
first download and save OTA files from OTA 4.1.1 files and save to your /sdcard
then use
./adb reboot bootloader
./fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-grouper.img
select install zip from sdcard
toggle signature verification and make sure it's disabled
select the file you downloaded earlier and install
reboot and you will be updated
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you want to have CWM permantly installed, first make sure you have root...use Root Explorer or any other file manager with root access and go to /system and delete recovery-from-boot.p
now use
./adb reboot bootloader
./fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-grouper.img
./adb reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You now have CWM installed.
I'm not responsible if you brick your tablet, it blows up mid flash etc
Make sure you know how to use ADB and have the SDK installed, you need that in order to do all of the above steps
Also make sure you have the recovery files saved to /sdk/platform-tools and also fastboot.exe has to be there also
Any commands that start with ./ are for linux/osx...just remove those when using windows

If you already have CWM or another recovery installed and would like to replace it with 6.0.0.6 Touch, I have packaged this file as a flash able zip file.
Download the zip file from http://db.tt/t13uCIRV and flash in recovery. To test, go to advanced -> reboot recovery and CWM Touch 6.0.0.6 should load up.
** edit 7/21/12**
Here's the zip file for the new touch recovery 6.0.1.0 http://db.tt/pLDeKXEf

I flashed this from rom manager and so far have not had any of the problems I have had in some of the interim CWM's like inability to delete back ups or mounting system.

hey dude it's 6.0.0.6 not 6.0.6

I am still not able to access recovery from bootloader. Just makes me kinda nervous to soft brick my nexus 7 and not be able to get into recovery to restore.
Any known fix for this?

It works as long as you're connected to a computer, so you can access recovery from bootloader you just need to be hooked to a computer.

I know right,,,almost seems like it is not doing it right but I have went back to a previous backup and it flashed fine!

If you know how to use ADB you can always fastboot a recovery.img,,,,this thing is almost impossible to truly brick. IN order to get into fastboot just connect to your computer and run adb with these commands
adb reboot bootloader
once in fastboot mode write this
fastboot devices
that will tell you if your device is connected and reading in fastboot mode if it is you will see something like fastboot and some numbers next to it. If nothing you do not have the fastboot drivers installed.
then to fastboot flash a recovery.img write this
fastboot flash recovery r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img (or whatever recovery.img you are using or have in your tools folder of you SDK location).
and in order to get right into CWM if you cant boot write this
fastboot boot r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img
hope that helps

Did you install the ota after you rooted and installed the recovery? I soft bricked too and I think that was the reason why. Something about the ota overwrote the recovery partition. Best thing to do is download ROM manager and click the first option to flash cwm. Then click the next button to boot into recovery. Then just flash the zip I posted to upgrade to touch.
**edit** just tried to boot into recovery from the boot loader and got stuck at the Google screen too. Holding all three buttons rebooted and started up as normal. Maybe the boot loader boot into recovery is pointing to a different partition for some reason?
Booting into recovery from ROM manager works though. That's how I've been getting in.

What did you try?

Can you adb boot into recovery from the bootloader?
Oh and you can't 'adb reboot' in fastboot just hit the power button.

yes and can do this while in fastboot (bootloader mode)
fastboot boot r3-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.0.4-nexus7-modaco.img (or whatever the name of your recovery.img is)

Which is correct. You won't be able to do adb commands in the bootloader. The command he asked you to try was a fastboot command, which should work

[Q] Stuck in "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"

My NExus S is stuck on the screen that says:
Fastboot Mode No Boot or Recovery IMg.
Product Name - Herring
HW Version - Rev34
Bootloader Version - D720SPRKC5
Baseband Version - D720SPRLCI
Carrier Inro - SPR
Serial Number 32300E25C33500EC
Lock State - Locked
options to select
Reboot Bootloader (gives me exact same screen) except it only says "Fastboot"
Reboot Back to the "FASTBOOT MODE - NO BOOT OR RECOVERY IMG"
Recovery (Can boot to CWM but I can't mount anything)
Power OFF (That works fine)
Then the little green man and the android logo
Followed by USB Control INIT
USB Control INIT End
STANDARD_SET_CONFIGURATION
Conventional wisdom says download some files and fix via fastboot. However in fastbootI can't run ANY of the steps without running FASTBOOT OEM UNLOCK. When I run it my phone asks if I really want to unlock the bootloader. when I choose YEs and hit power it just freezes there.
My next thought Boot to recovery and restore. A restore through recovery followed by a reboot leads me back to the original no boot or recovery img.
Okay I'll just sideload a working rom by mounting usb storage. Then I can flash it with CWM and be up and running.
but when I try to do mount the USB Storage I get "E:Unable to write to ums 1unfile (No such file or directory)"
Finally, Last ditch Effort, I'll load up ODIN and use that to put on a working recovery. there's forums all over the place explaining how to do that right? Well yes, but the links to the Tar file are all broken.
What next my friends? I'd really like to get this phone working.

Your bootloader is LOCKED. You must first UNLOCK the bootloader by clicking "Unlock" on Nexus Root Toolkit.

Same situation for me, because i pressed "Reboot" in CWM without having flashed a Rom (stupid ). Broken power button, hanging on Google logo or in Fastboot mode.

what about just using adb? Can you find it when you type fastboot devices? If so there's a command in fastboot to reboot to recovery I think.
I on the other hand am screwed. I read in another forum that it hangs on unlock because the internal memory is fubar.

Solution for me:
1. Turn device on into Bootloop
2. Connect it via USB (PC founds it)
3. type in CMD "adb reboot recovery"
4. device is in recovery
5. reflash everything i wanted :good:
Requirement is a working Android-SDK!

I wish it was that easy for me. I can access recovery just fine. It's the memory I can't touch. Unless someone knows a way to fix corrupted memory...

Hmm. so you probably need to flash a recovery first.
then you will be able to use the recovery to mount usb and put a new rom on your "sd card"
Then you can flash the rom on your new recovery and don't forget to fastboot flash the boot.img.
edit: the all in one toolkit is great for things like this. It will put a new recovery on your phone with just a click of the button.

I just edited my original post. just in case you didn't know how. I guess I was a little slow.
Also I can't remember if a bootloader factory reset relocked your phone but you might want to check that too. up on top it would say locked or relocked. If it still says unlocked you don't have to do that step again. Like you did when you first rooted the phone.
(all in one tool kit is great for unlocking and relocking too) just put a copy of that bin file in all in one tool kit (data file i believe, but it says what to do in that thread)

Your phone is an s3?
My phone is an S4 as are I would guess the majority of users. I think the s3 is the international version. If you are on T mobile then it's a s4.
Ok,,,
so .... if your phone is an s3 version then you will have to check that the Rom you download is specific for your phone as most of the Roms on this site are for the s4 version.
you need to go to your recovery. press the volume down button and hold it. Then press the power button (don't hold it). That will get you to recovery.
when in twrp recovery you will see a mounts button. hit that then the next screen will have mount usb. then you will be able to move a rom you downloaded on your computer to your phone.
then you can install the rom zip in twrp.
then from your computer, I assume you know how to flash a boot.img
put a boot.img in your fastboot folder, open up a comand prompt.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if you wanted a different recovery than you are using, find the download the recovery. *I would rename the recovery to recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(I only mention a different recovery because in some of the Rom threads you might read that you can only install a particular rom with an older version of twrp.)
I'm not sure of your skill or experience with all of this. If you are very new to it (then you are probably really frustrated) have no fear there is a little bit to learn but not that much. Just keep reading the development thread and the guides in it.

in twrp when you press "mounts" then press "mount usb", does your computer finally see your phone?
I was looking at your first post, you say that you rooted and flashed your phone. What do you mean by that? Did you download a ROM and attempt to flash it? Or did you "fastboot flash boot boot.img"?
If you are able to access your phone via computer it is as simple as downloading a rom on your computer moving it to your phone then in twrp "install from zip". Then fastboot flash the boot.img.

To run a RUU you would need to relock your bootloader.
in console type "fastboot lock oem" or use your all in one toolkit to relock it.
if that fails you will need to put your stock recovery back. (you need to have boot loader unlocked to do this)
on the clockworkmod recovery page the stock recovery is the second download link.

[Q] Major Problem with recovery.

I cannot boot into recovery. I used a rootkit to unlock my bootloader and root my phone. TWRP worked fine when i tried it out for the first time and than i forgot about it. Today I tried to access it and it would not work. When I try installing TWRP from GooManager it just says it will download but it never does and then after a while the app shuts down. I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom Manager and it downloads all the way and than says that a problem occured. Can somebody please help me with my situation. When I press the power button and the volume down button and it brings me to the bootloader and i navigate to recovery, it just brings an android guy with a red triangle. please help me. I just want a custom recovery. I don't care what it is. Either TWRP or clockwork mod. PLEASE HELP!

ok so all I have to do is install the Android SDK, open the command prompt, and than what do I do. Can you please give me the exact code to write into the command prompt window so I can flash twrp or clockwork mod?

Actually can I just unroot and start the whole process over? Just so I can have a clean slate. I feel that this would be much simpler.

ok so I just checked and superSU says I need root to use it and than I tired the TWRP manager and it says I need root for it. So apparantly I lost root access. Can someone please tell me if I can root again or do I need to take some other steps before I root again.

You can root again.

Is using cf auto root considered a toolkit? I found a method to root my nexus 5 that runs android 4.2.2 but it says to do it the cf auto root way. Should I try this or not?

So after I root with cf auto root I can just use twrp manager to flash twrp right

Alright so I rooted again but everytime I try to go into the stock recovery, it just shows the little android guy with a red triangle. I downloaded root checker and it says that i am rooted. It will not even install custom recovery. I downloaded TWRP manager and the image file downloads but the download finishes and it says download unsuccessful. Please help.

Go here for fastboot and adb... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42407269. Then download the nexus 5 recovery.IMG file from twrp's website. Place the recovery.img that you downloaded, into the same folder that you have fastboot and adb. Boot your phone into the bootloader, then connect your phone to your PC. Now, on your PC, open the folder where you have fastboot and your recovery.img, hold the shift key and click the right button on your mouse, then click on open command window here. Then type fastboot flash recovery "and the name of the recovery.IMG" without the quotation marks, and hit enter. You should see your PC start to flash the recovery. And that's it!

It is alright. Thanks so much for the help but I just installed ROM Manager and I installed ClockWorkMod Recovery and it worked! But thanks for writing this whole thing because now I actually know what to do if it ever happens again.

No problem. You should go ahead and try to learn how to use adb and fastboot. Once you do you your life will be a lot easier and its fun to learn. Plus if you ever need to flash the factory images, you will need fastboot anyway. Good luck.

NEXUS 5 stuck at Google logo

Hi Guys,
After some cleanup in CMW i accidently format EVERYTHING. (formatted all single option in CMW, afterall a bad idea) So now i'm stuck at the google logo.
Now i have the 4.4.4 KTU.zip on my computer. Can i flash this via ADB sideload (as a renamed ''update.zip''? Or can i just copy the .zip file to my Nexus from a computer?
I'm @ work so i;m stuck guessing what i must do to get this thing work!
Thanks in advance guys

i dont know what it is, but if its a rom, sideload then flash away. your phine is empty right now, no rom or anything. you need to put something into your phone(sideload) then flash it.

Yes, the whole zip file is the stock ROM in a zip file.
Luckely i can't login as administrator here or else i could get my device working here
Thanks!

Why not just start the bootloader (fastboot mode) and execute the flash-all.bat? It'a the 'official' way to completely restore your phone. I've done it several times and it always worked great

get the factory image here, unzip it, and run the flas-all.bat. make sure fastboot works correctly. it will flash your phone back to stock.
