I went into stock recovery yesterday, after purchasing the phone to wipe cache.
I like to do this with all my new phones first.
When I pressed on wipe cache, it brought me to a menu that asked Mr what package to install, and was showing me my SD card.
I then tried to data factory reset, which from my experience with other phones acted as though it was wiping cache??
It seems the recovery has 1 to many install from SD card options, and is throwing the menu off.
Can anyone else confirm this?
From what I can see only an update would fix this.

Can confirm that selecting "wipe cache partition" shows SD content. Don't want to try the factory reset though.
Reflashed stock recovery twice, it seems broken by design
This issue has to be reported to Motorola.
I just sent them a link to this thread via Twitter & FB.

Hm, I don't think the recovery image is part of the QA process - it is simply not meant for end users =/

recovery bugged
same here , the listing in recovery just isnt acurate to the job it performs ! - crazy slip up from Moto on this one i think .
My People! I have come for you!
Yes it is buggy, however totally operable!
"What? What did you say Ehsan? What knowledge do you have to bestow upon us, oh learned man of the great metropolis?"
Simple really. Whatever you want to select, just select the option above. Wipe cache is Wipe Data/Factory Reset, and Wipe Data/Factory Reset is Apply update via ADB.
So while I sit here and bask in the rays of my awesomeness, you should go and spread the word.
Excuse my overtly conceited bragging. I only got there coz of you lot anyway :angel:
up one ..
So each option is just the line above ... seems okay. but what a mistake from MOTO'
time to test now
thanks

What you may be best off doing is wipe data/factory reset. Avoid formatting through cwm on the Xoom. It's not like a phone.

That's just it though. I can't reset. Wipe data. Same difference. Someone in the tiamate forum suggested to put an empty file named .eraseData in the clockworkmod folder n what not, but I've tried that upon numerous other things and can NOT wipe this damn thing for a good/new install of a Rom...

Glad it got sorted out.
Hello, I am brand new here and I have to a serious problem with my galaxy s3 (verizon). Today I rooted and installed clockwork recovery and created a backup within the app everything seemed to well and I rebooted. Then I noticed I could get custom roms in clockwork mod and tried getting cyanogen mod for it. Downloaded and continued to install. Then when it booted I got a cyanogen mod boot screen loop . So I said ok and went to recovery and tried to restore my phone from the backup I made only to find that "no files were found" in clockwork recovery. So at this point I just want my phone to boot up and work with my data on it. Is there a way to remove cyanogen mod or even use my backup that was created and in fact does take up space on my sd card but can't seem to find. I thanks in advance .
Ok after some searching it seems that I have forgotten to do something with the boot.img file in the zip. If someone could give me instructions on what to do with it I would really appreciate it. Lol I know most of you are pulling your hair out about my mistakes but hopefully this can be resolved soon.
Nothing with a boot.img that's for HTC devices
Did you clean wipe/facotry reset before installing cm?

I have not. But if I do that that means I lose everything correct and cannot get it back? Or is there a way I can do a restore after I wipe and I get it back? After looking at this question I realize it sounds dumb lol. Also I just did this using a download from clockwork mod and after I did it I looked back at cyanogen mods website and there are more steps involved such as flashing certain files (which was not done because I did not know) I though if I downloaded it from clockwork mod that was the only step I had to take.

You have to clean install you can't just flash roms over each other. That was the reason for your bootloop and nope bud you've most likely have to clean install now. That backup should be somewhere if just click restore and it should find your backup?

Bingo. Always clear delvik cache and cache when flashing. It's also good to wipe data when upgrading a Rom and a must when going to a different Rom.

I have been using Samsung Galaxy 3 GT-i5801 for 2 years now.. It was having Android 2.1. Today I decided to install custom ROM to upgrade to Android 2.3.7. Used the below steps in the process:
1. Rooted the device using SuperOneClick
2. Installed ClockworkMode ROM manager 4.3.3.0. Installed G3RM as well.
3. I could not take the backup. G3RM when tried to open was opening a html code when i clicked the options. ClockworkMode did not have the option for Galaxy 3.
4. Downloaded the CM7.2.0-GT-i5800_Alpha8.3_CWM.zip from google code pages for cm7-i5800 (92.2 MB in size).
5. Copied the zip file to the base directory of SD card and renamed it to update.zip. Using CWM wiped the data/factory reset. Phone rebooted to Android 2.1 with all data erased.
6. Then I updated the ROM using CWM. It didn't throw any errors. Mobile rebooted. But it gets stuck in opening screen forever (display contains just GT-I5801 and Samsung). I assume this is a soft brick. As I recollect now, I forgot to clear the cache before the upgrade. Will this be a problem?
7. Tried to recover using Power + Vol Up+ Vol Down + Menu combination. This process is also stuck with a message "FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING".
8. I suspect the device is bricked now.
I am new to android ROM updates. I am looking forward for your help to unbrick the device now. Please suggest me the steps to unbrick the device (Or a link which i should follow).
Regards,
Shreekanth
At Step 7, try use ODIN and flash a Rom through it. Theres a guide somewhere on this forum. It should help save your.. Oh wait. I think you have to get a special i5801 ROM, but I might be wrong.
My phone does not boot up now.. Will it be possible to use ODIN to flash a ROM at this stage? Before step 6, I had cleared the wiped the data / factory reset using CWM. That time it rebooted to Android 2.1. Later i copied the ROM and tried the ROM update. I am facing the problem since then.
Since the display turns on, I assume this is kind of soft brick. So hoping for a fix. I am searching the entire forum for any possible answer. Please help me with your suggestions.

Shreekanth

The problem is resolved now and I am much relieved .. This time I have used ODIN. It detected the phone and now I have updated to Android 4.1.1.
A xda thread "How to use ODIN for dummies" was very helpful. Thanks a lot for all of your suggestion.

Hi guys.
I have some problems with my recovery, here is my story.
I was running last TWRP, and while doing an update of my favorite ROM, the installation was stuck at fomatting system... I tried to reboot several times and nothing to do it couldn't work.
So I installed (in a dirty way) CWM to try it. Formatting seemed to work and it's still working (or at least it's written that the operation is done) BUT when I want to update my ROM and when the script needs at the beginning to format system, it's stuck for several minutes. Sometimes it works only after 3 or 4 times (or maybe it's because I don't wait enough) and so then everything works out but I've got a message like "the error was system", can't remember sorry, if you need what is exactly written I'll tell you.
So why should I do ?
Thanks.
Hope you understood me, my english kinda sucks..
I think your best bet at this point would be flashing the factory images and starting fresh. I don't use twrp myself, but for what I've read here, it's best to let it finish what it's doing and not reboot.

I don't know why system image would change anything because it has nothing to do with recovery. Maybe you meant stock recovery and then put back CWM ?

Same thing happened to me. In fact posted a similar post earlier. I used the nexus recovery tool once to get back to stock and that worked but erased everything on my phone.
Did it one other time successfully flashed one rom and then some thing happened but this time I had a backup in twrp and was able to restore that.
The only thing now is my battery won't charge past 77%.

Yeah that is a great how to but I've already rooted and unlocked phone. I understand how to flash roms, I have at least 10 android devices in my home that I flash roms to.
I know the process, it is the same on most devices. The problem with this one is when you go to flash a new rom it says it can't mount system and gets stuck in endless install.

I had the same issue flashing elemental kernel. After the reboot I couldn't access my SD and my baseband weren't recognised. So I reloaded a nandroid backup but the issue was still present. I have never encountered a so strange problem. Resolved reverting to stock and reflashing elementalx.

Glad to see yours is working. I was able to flash the stock 4.4.1 but it was still feeling a little wonky.

I'm sorry if this sounds annoyingly silly, but if I do factory reset on my Nexus 5, will that delete all of my pictures, PDF document, videos, music, etc2?
I am aware that the app will be wiped clean like how the phone is first received, but I'm not sure if factory reset will also delete all of my stuffs I mentioned above as well.
The reason is, I tried flashing 4.4.4 to my android from android development page. Initially, I was a bit skeptical when "flash-all.bat" is not working because fastboot says there is no "system.img" in the zip file. So flashed the .img files one by one, and everything looks good.
However, when my phone tried booting up, it got stuck at booting animation for hours. I suspect this is because I have a lot of app in my phone and the fact that I'm going from 5.0 to 4.4.4. So I'm thinking of doing factory reset, but I just wanna make sure if I really need to copy all of my stuff first because doing this takes quite some time as well.

Yeah thanks for the answer over there.
I'm still curious about flashing 4.4.4 though.
IIRC, last year when I run the "flash-all.bat" script, it seems to work just fine, but now it doesn't. I wonder why?
