[Q] cmw recovery - General Questions and Answers

can we navigate the recovery menu without using volume key.
i m asking because my tab (funbookP275) doesn't have volume keys but i can get to recovery menu using inbuilt option now don't know how to navigate in recovery menu. help plz i want to root it.

You can't install CWM recovery without rooting your device first. If you are able to root it, you have to use a custom recovery which was specifically made for your device. Look around to see if other people with your device have successfully installed CWM (or other recovery) on it, and read there or ask them for help.

thnx for your reply how to flash it from CWM recovery mode ?
i believe for your phone you must shutdown your phone and after its closed press vol up + call key (and tap power button to turn on the phone)
That should take you to 'bootloader'. There should be a 'recovery' option there, that will take you to CWM recovery. The CWM recovery should have a black background with orange text(it could also be blue text).
If so, then you're in CWM recovery. Just go to 'Install from sdcard' and 'choose from sdcard' (or something like that), then choose the CM7 .zip file.
Make sure you make a backup before flashing the ROM. Backup can also be made from CWM recovery, its one of the options
Make sure you have CWM recovery flashed on your phone.
You can be sure by going into ROM Manager and in the first option 'Flash CWM recovery', it should be written 'Current Recovery: ClockworkMod x.x.x.x'
If thats not written, then you need to click the first option and flash the CWM recovery (u'll need a internet connection for that)
IT IS not going to recovery mode it 1st hang to ideos screen then rebot to simple mode

choose the version of your phone
and its ok , we were all there at one point!
for info on how to use CWM recovery and stuff - CLICK HERE
still it is not showing recovery mode
Like codenameunknown said, but try this also:
Info
Getting into recovery
while the device is off...
Press and hold the Volume Up + Call Key
TAP << not hold >> the power button
Don't let go of the Volume Up + Call Key until device light up
Generally it'll always end up in recovery if the Volume Up + Call Keys are held down when the device powers. Doesn't matter how it powered on, whether via power button, usb cable, reboot etc.
while the device is on...
via Rom Manager
Does ROM Manager say 'Current Recovery:'
if so, the you have CWM recovery on your phone.
The link i provided says that
Getting into recovery:
while the device is off...
*Press and hold the Volume Up + Call Key
*TAP << not hold >> the power button
*Don't let go of the Volume Up + Call Key until device light up

dude i knw after install rom manager and flash clockworkmod recovery i cant go to recovery mode before that it was all good
the link i provided says that your phone IS supported.
Is your version of ROM Manager updated? (im not sure if that will help, but just try, it wont hurt!)
If it still doesnt want to show, you can manually flash the CWM recovery onto your phone. I would tell you how, but im not familiar with your phone.
EDIT:
i searched for a manual way for you to flash it, and ended up with this thread... CLICK HERE . Although this thread also says that the phone is fully supported in ROM Manager now. But it also give you a way to manually flash it

Can't access Odin, frozen fastboot

Hi,
I tried to restore my Nexus S (european, GT-I9023) which has a broken power button before sending it to Samsung for repair.
I just screwed my ROM flash using Clockworkmod and now my phone only shows a beautiful Google screen.
When I try to use fastboot screen (using vol+/vol-) nothing moves, and even if it moved I wouldn't be able select any option as my power button is broken. I can't also access Odin (vol+ and vol- pressed when the phone is off) as I can't turn off my phone.
What can I do to flash my rom? May I send it to Samsung anyway?
Thanks for your answers!

Switch off. Press Volume Up and plug in the charging cable. Now, see if you tackle with the Fastboot mode.

He might not be able to. When the power button breaks, it stays in a "on" state and that messed up fastboot as it doesn't let you scroll or initialize properly.

If your rom starts booting (you see a quick flash after initial Google logo) you might be able to ADB from there (while it's not booting and the rom logo is showing, I know weird but often works). Check it out.
Edit: Oh and if you get adb access, then what you want to do is "reboot recovery" to reboot to recovery, and then wipe/flash a rom and whatnot.

You are absolutely right. The phone thinks that the power button is pressed and doesn't let us move up and down using the volume keys.
Also, even if I get adb access after the Google logo, how do I use fastboot mode? I actually wanted to flash a recovery as my Power button doesn't work even in the recovery. Moreover, I can boot into recovery without adb, from inside the rom power menu.
So adb doesn't help here

What recovery do you currently have? All custom recoveries enable you to scroll with menu and home key, go back with the back key and select with the search key. So if you can get adb while it's "not booting" and reboot to your custom recovery, then you can navigate, mount usb and transfer a rom if needed or flash one that is on your phone.
Edit: Also, I was under the impression you couldn't boot your ROM. If you can, what is it exactly that you are trying to do??

I have ClockworkMod (CWM) 6.0.2.5 Non-Touch from this thread:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032337
I flashed this earlier when my power button was working. And I have tried all the capacitive buttons. None of them work with this recovery. That's why I was looking forward to flashing a touch based recovery.

From the same thread you can simply download any of these (highly suggest ClockworkMod (CWM) 5.8.0.2 Touch, one if not the most reliable) and flash them from within your current CWM.

Dear sir,
Please understand. That's what I am trying to tell you. I cannot use power button or any other button to select anything in the recovery. So how will I install this one?

Ok let's get this right
What is your goal? Flash a different recovery? Then you can flash a recovery from within something such as ROM Manager if your rom still boots.
Yes sir, my goal is to flash a touch based recovery just so that I can flash new ROMs and kernels without the help of the power button.
Koushik charges for in-app flashing of CWM Touch which is otherwise free. So that's the main issue here. I guess I'll have to live with it

Ok.
You can use this Flash Image GUI to flash a recovery of your choice from within Android then:

It's free. Make sure to download the right recovery for your device and select recovery image in Flash Image GUI.

You sir, are my hero... Many thanks for this :highfive: :victory:
If you are flashing a touch version of CWM recovery, I highly suggest v6.0.1.0. The later version (up to 6.0.2.5) have a bug that will make you unable to mount the SD card within the recovery. Otherwise TWRP is very interesting, but backups made with CWM are not compatible with TWRP.
Thanks, I'll try TWRP this time

[Q] Need help to root XT925 on JB 4.1.2

I want to root my XT925 on JB 4.1.2 (fido). So, I follow 0mega1's method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118483
1. unlocked bootloader;
2. flashed epinter's CWM recovery
3. install supersu.
I have tried for 3 weeks, but failed.
the supersu is not installed, showing " no su binary, supersu cannot install it"
Would someone please help. tell me the process step by step. I am new for Android.
Question: after flashing epinter's CWM recovery, the phone in still in AP fastboot state, what shall I do? Just simply press the power button to go to the normal phone state?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Yes, press the power button to turn off the device; But Are you sure you have CWM recovery installed??
if yes, did you get the file in the link? It´s not install superSU from market, you must install via CWM the file in the link; I attached the file to simplify you the thing.
Save it to the root of your SD, turn off your phone, press both volume keys and power at the same time 2sec to be sure and drop the power button first and after the 2 volume keys; use - Volume to move to RECOVERY and pres + Volume to select.
I u have CWM Recovery it should appear, use it to install the file attached and you are rooted.

BE SURE TO HIT THAT THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED
If you are rooted and installed Super User you can go to Play store and download Quick Boot then hit "Recovery", it will allow you boot to recovery without holding buttons.
Thanks Bro, As I have already rooted my phone, can I just copy the font in SD card and install the font from SD from CWM mode?????
