Lolz.. flash a recovery simple. You are lucky that your phone atleast boots.
Dont use rom manager.. use terminal method.

rr0yy I have cwm flashed trough rom manager but many people does not recommend it, why? for me worked perfect
I heard that aroma recovery is better and you can edit files in recovery mode
what recovery do you have and it is safe to flash another recovery over cwm ?

Rom Manager used to be good.. but now it doesnt support our device.
(May be due to ICS and JB.. its been a long time i tried it on GB 'BUT' that is just a theory).
Me and many others have faced soft brick due to Rom Manager.
ClockworkMod stable ver5.0.2.x is good and recommended.
I use AmonRa 3.06 .
Yes.. you can flash any recovery over other.

what is your opinion abouth AROMA RECOVERY ???

There are many mod recoveries for P500. You have to try it yourself and see which one suits you best.
I felt.. CWM was incapable of wiping sdext and other things.
AmonRa works well.

> yep cwm is buggy, better use AmonRA or twrp now.

I think we all are going away from topic

Install amonra in the terminal emulator

CWM 5.0.2.7
I am using ROM manager to flash the CWM 5.0.2.7 into my P500. I read some said got problem but I have been using this for months in flashing my JB 4.1.2 with no issue. I do have a backup copy of AmonRa 3.06.
If you do not know how to use the terminal, Rom manager CWM 5.0.2.7 might be a good option.

Update CWM

I've searched and Googled... I can't find this at all. How do I update my CWM?? I'm on 6.0.2.3. I hear there is a 6.0.2.8

If you haven't already, download Rom Manager from the play store here.
Open the app, and go to the Recovery Setup section and you can update it from there.

Try this

Also IDF you want to try twrp you can get goo app and select menu then update recovery.

Can anyone please provide me with the latest s3 Verizon CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 odin flashable tar file?
Thanks in advance!

I made tar.md5's here of 6.0.2.8 for you guys of both touch and regular, you can get them here

I'm going to recommend that you DO NOT use the dd method posted above. Its dangerous. If you were to type the wrong partition, you could very easily brick your device.
If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
Or use rom manager
Or....find some other way....dd is dangerous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

Definitely the easiest method! Just did it two days ago using this method
Its free for the non touch version, or like $1 or $2 for the touch version, well worth it!

I just updated via ROM Manager to Clockwordmod 6.0.2.9 and once I booted into recovery and did a backup, I was unable to reboot the system. I was able to reboot the phone via power + home button power on and installed Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.2.9. I also had the same problem with Clockworkmod touch where it wouldn't reboot the phone.

Tokedup found this link for previous versions...use ez recovery to flash img files.

is this a known issue with the latest CWM? i ran into the recovery loop, too.

Using EZ Recovery and those recovery img files at that link work for me to get an older recovery installed. Also verified that I can successfully reboot the phone from recovery again.

[Q] Switch from CWM to TWRP ?

Hi all -
I have a bit of a problem, and was wondering if anyone could help. I am rooted of course, and I run [JUL13-Build80] Domination ( from Owain ).
I had CWM v5.0.2.0, but I like TWRP a lot so I decided to install TWRP ( latest version for LG-G2x ) via goo. Well what happened was, when I boot into recovery it still booted into CWM, but then I would click on reboot from CWM and it would then boot to TWRP. Well I could live with that...but... now I can not get back into TWRP at all. I can only get to CWM.
So my question is .... what to do. I would like to use TWRP as my recovery and not CWM. What should I do at this point ??
Thanks

Interesting problem. I am assuming you have tried flashing TWRP again to see if it solves the problem? Do you get any error messages?
Edit: I think you should try nvflash to load TWRP. That should fix it.

If I may ask, what exactly is the difference between twrp and cwm?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

It sounds like twrp got flashed to your boot partition.
If you uses something like
"dd" "if" "twrp-image" "of" "dev/block/mmcblk0p5" you wrote twrp to your boot partition. This phone has a protected recovery partition accessible only via NVflash. Flash a kernel or ROM, and use NVflash to flash the twrp image.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

There is a Modded version of NVflash somewhere in the g2x thread that has tarp in place of cwm. The OP is mustangtim. Ill see if I can find a link.
Here's the link to TWRP in our Devices forum. The link to mustangtims nvflash download is right under the install instructions. This modded NV flash is the only way I could get TWRP to work correctly on my device.

TWRP recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
The only difference between official recoveries and this version is that Loki is built in to recovery.
THIS IS ONLY FOR 10d FIRMWARE. IF YOU ARE ON 10o THEN DO NOT USE!!!
You may want to flash 10d firmware. It can be found HERE with instructions. If you plan on using ROMs it is best to flash 10d firmware first.
Install Methods
Flashable Zip - Must have TWRP or whatever custom recovery already installed.
Boot into recovery and flash Recovery Zip file.
Manual Method - With no custom recovery already installed.
Must have Root first. Check HERE for root
Download the zip file to which recovery you want
Extract zip file to C:\
Open command prompt in root of C drive
You will need adb installed and properly setup in your environment variables. If not place the recovery.img wherever your adb file is located.
Type the following commands:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img
adb shell
su
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

I have not tested that way but I am sure you can. If you just need the img file than extract from zip file.
If you try then let us know how it worked out

Using flashify works like a charm. Just extract img file and flash using flashify. As a third alternative.

If you been flashing OEM modified ROMs on G2 the speed may have been due to the size of the ROMs.

Will I lose my twrp backups if I flash this clockwork recovery?
If not, then would I be able to restore twrp backups with cwm? May be a silly question but I never tried this and worried about losing backups.

You will not lose them until you delete them but I am not sure if you can restore twrp backups with clockwork.

Does this mount usb-otg? When I try "Mount USB Storage" nothing happens. I am pretty sure TWRP also does not yet support usb-otg. My hopes were CWM did.
Thanks

Adb side load is an alternative for Mount usb. Install Zip --> Install from adb sideload. Unfortunately this didn't work for me either. If it works for any of you guys please let me know the steps you followed. Sideload doesn't work in TWRP also.
In case of a soft brick either Mount usb or adb side load should help. Otherwise you have to go back to stock using Lg tools and start all over again.

Format Cache is not working
Hey guys,
I flashed this and seem to have a problem with formatting the cache- it just stops so I cannot wipe becuase it stops at formatting cache. Anybody else experienced this before? I flashed again with same results.

[Q] Help using CWM!

Hello,
today I tried to put CWM on my old Galaxy fit using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19204364 so then I could upgrade it and then install a ROM, I did the Odin Multidownloader process and it looked like it worked, but I wanted to test it and I didn't know how to use the CWM I just installed, so I went to ROM Manager and from there I tried to do the CWM Recovery option and when it started to reboot, it got like stuck in the Samsung logo and some kind of bootloop, the only thing I can do is press the home-volume up-power button so I can go to the Downloading... screen.
What can I do?
Does anyone know?
Thanks

I would recommend using download mode and Odin to flash a stock Rom. Once u do that and root ur phone again I suggest getting twrp. Seems to work better for me and easy to install.,

Which version of cwm did you install?

Installing Stock Roms
First, download the stock rom of your choice from samfirmware.com
Then download beni.ops and Odin Multidownloader
Remove the sim card and memory card of your phone, and put it in download mode
Next, run Odin, and connect your phone to your windows computer. Odin should respond as detected. Then, select “Ops” as beni.ops. (Doing this would disable all other fields except “One Package”)
After this, select your desired stock rom in “One Package”.
Do not alter any other option other than those mentioned, let them remain as they are.
Make sure that the color of “COM PORT MAPPING” is yellow, and then click “Start”.
Odin will start giving different responses, and the timer in Odin would also start…now all you have to do is wait till Odin completes flashing (You will get a message “Pass”, usually within 10 minutes)
Note: Do not disconnect you phone while the process is on, and till you get that “Pass” message.
After this, it is optional but advised that you reboot into recovery mode and wipe data, otherwise you *may* face bootloops.[/list]

Question 1: can you enter recovery!? By holding power + home buttons.
Question 2: are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM from the Samsung ROMs website (the correct ROM means the latest link from your carrier).
Edit: don't forget to take out the USB cable after the flashing is done.
Depending on your answer:
Try to redo the procedure without installing custom recovery (just flash thru download mode via Odin the downloaded ROM for your device) and see if it boots (first boot takes a long time so just wait.
If you're trying to install ONLY the cwm recovery be sure you are getting the one meant for beni (other will not work).

Here you can get stock ROM :

Be sure you follow the instructions in Odin.
Are you sure you can't get in recovery with home + power!? Seems strange. Try to reinstall CWM recovery thru download mode then try to get into recovery mode. You can find more than five Odin flash able recoveries in XDA for fit. Try all.
Good luck!

That's why seems odd he can't get in recovery mode. From what I understand:
1. He flashed stock ROM (or he tried to)
2. Then he tried to flash CWM recovery and now gets bootloop at Samsung screen.
Actually this happened to me once and I had to reflash stock ROM first then cwm recovery thru Odin.

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.
If you want a different ROM (cm7 - cm10.2) flash an older custom recovery and do the same as above.
Flashing is simple and practice makes it perfect. After all you have a Fit for spare.
Remember that different ROMs might have different flashing instructions so ALWAYS read the OP in the ROMs thread.
Enjoy!

Have you installed your ROM using 6045 cwm recovery!? Or you installed the 6045 recovery after installing ROM!?

Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up
So, honestly I didn't tried to install other rom than cm11 on this recovery.
