[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 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.

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?
Thanks

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

[Solved] wont boot after chainfire3d in JB. Fastboot- showing error

I tried installing chainfire3d driver in jellybean( i didnt know then that it is not for JB). Now my nexus wont boot into os. it just stays at the unlocked bootloader logo.
1. I can get into recovery mode
2. I have wiped out the cache and factory reset
3. I dont have a update file in my phone.since nexus dont have an external sd card i cant put any file in it directly.
4. I have tried fastboot -it shows my serial ID and i am able to reboot my phone using it but whenever i try to flash recovery.img or update update.zip it shows "cannot load recovery.img" or "cannot update update.zip"
5. I have tried ADB - on using adb shell it shows "error:device not found"
6. on using Odin (not sure whether it is compatible with Nexus s) it detects my phone. when i tried to flash the stock fireware it fails and my device shows "verify image (radio) fail"
Plz help.Is my phone bricked???????

Ok I don't want to be insulting, but you really REALLY need to read on the whole process of Nexus S rooting and using it.
You don't have to use ODIN at all for something so simple. You simply need to reflash a ROM/your ROM.
Mount your SD from within Clockworkmod recovery and transfer a ROM. Then flash it. Done.

What polo says go to recovery- mount and formay- all the way down "mount sd card". Now your phone will be like a usb drive

I believe you must flash the boot.img separately prior to flashing the rom.

you have to fastboot flash the boot img if you dont know how read this

Yes that is correct. You need to extract the boot.img out of the zip file. Put it int he same folder as your adb and fastboot files. Put your phone into the bootloader and select fastboot. Then hook it up to your computer, and it should change to fastboot usb. now in the adb/fastboot folder, hold down shift and right click,and select open command prompt. type the following command: fastboot flash boot boot.img once it says OKAY, on your phone select reboot, and it should boot up normal

Recovery update

So can anyone tell me how I can update my recovery I am already rooted just need to update it . do I need to flash it in fast boot or what
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Connect your phone in fastboot and run "fastboot flash recovery <path_to_recovery.img>" Or if you don't want to use your PC you can use ROM manager or flashify from the play store. Flashify is only good if you have the image saved on your phone and is limited to three flashes a day on the trial version.

Get into the bootloader by powering off the phone. Turn on the phone by pressing the down volume button and the power button at the same time. Rename the recovery you're trying to flash to recovery.img. Plug the phone into the computer and open a command prompt where you saved the new recovery image. Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

The firs time that I unlock, and flash recovery and root I used that software.
Can you replace it or give me another link?
Thanks again anche sorry for wonge section....

No. Do NOT use tools like this.
OTA removes root and replaces recovery.
If you want a recovery Download cwm, philz or twrp and fastboot flash recovery image from your pc
If you click the link to the sticky roll-up in my signature, you will find a thread there in section 1 called "adb and fastboot, what is it?". Please read it. You will know everything you need to know

Since I suggested you read my adb and fastboot thread, I added a new section about command prompt. It explains that you need to tell cmd where the recovery image is but otherwise correct.
