Clockwork recovery 5.x on Nexus S?

Hi all,
My son upgraded his Nexus S to clockworks 5.x recovery (using ROM Manager recovery update) and now he cannot backup from ROM Manager, just directly from the recovery.
When he tries to backup from ROM Manager, the recovery complains about a bad script from ROM Manager and aborts the backup.
1. Is this a known problem?
2. Where can he find a clockwork recovery known to work with RM on Nexus S?
Thanks,
K.

Reboot. Or reinstall rom manager. It works fine.

[Q]recovery flash and nexus s driver issue

Hi
A couple of days ago I tried to flash the newer version of ClockWorkMod recovery (from v3.0.2.4 to 5.0.2.0) via ROM Manager, it seemed to install properly but when I tried to enter the recovery it sent me to the BOOTLOADER and there was written that I have no boot or recovery image installed, when I try to install the CWM manually via ADB it cant recognize my Nexus S when I'm in the bootloader (I re-installed the drivers but it didn't help) but when the phone is on I have access to the phone via ADB but I cant flash the CWM.
I tried the next commands:
adb shell
SU
flash_image recovery /sdcard/filename.img
and it showed me allot of memory errors.
Does anyone can help me?

someone can help me?

thanx, I tried it but it also didn't work

same problem here noob in nexus s please help

After I sent my NEXUS to a lab it works OK with the recovery they say that they don't know what this issue was but after the changed the rom to stock every thing worked OK

I am also suffering from the same issue, I think itnis caused by only a certain amount of memory being aloted for a recovery image as the newer version is a bit larger, anyone know how to fix this?

in the lab they said that they pushed stock rom via some linux script they have to the nexus and after that they flashed recovery but I think that you can find how to do this in this forum (going back to stock) and to root it again and then you can flash recovery

I'm going thru the same thing after flashing ics rom. Now I had to downgrade to 3.0.0.1 in order ffor my recovery to work.....I even tried flashing each recovery one by one until I was on. 5.2
But its the same issue. No recovery unless I downgrade. Also none of my back ups are recognized.....

HELP!!! Clockworkmod not flashing properly Brainmasters ICS and Linux Ubuntu 11.10

I flashed latest clockwork mod after installing brainmasters ics tweaked. When i noticed my mms wasnt working i decided to re flash another rom but when i booted into recovery it got back into fastboot mode and tells me "no boot or recovery img"
I have re flashed all versions through rom manager but they wont stick. I tried to push it with fastboot and my computer but my Ubuntu 11.10 wont recognize my Ns4g. I installed all the android sdk, adb, and fastboot files but when I type ./adb devices its doesn't come up with my device. ./fastboot flash boot recovery3101.img doesnt work either. Juat says <waiting on device>

flash image by GUI
search market for this app and use it to flash kernel image.

1st. post in the correct section. This way you can get your answer quicker and you're not annoying everyone.
2nd. Find yourself a WINDOWS PC and install android SDK and all drivers for your phone to be recognizable. Then follow one of the posts in here to flash recovery.
You could also install ROM manager from the market and use it to flash recovery through it but its always good to have a proper SDK setup for this type of emergency.

This has happened to me before and I have fixed it by flashing the latest cwmr multiple times.
Try using a different USB cable if your com still doesn't recongize it.
PS now I use twrp and i like it a lot better

I didnt see any other NS4g section. Sorry bud.
Would flash image gui work well to flash twrp?
When i use rom manager it says successfully flashes rom but then i reboot and get the sane no boot or recovery img. I dont have access to a windows pc...
Can a mod please move this to the nexus help section?

As stated, reboot from and get rom Manager from market. Try reinstalling recovery or scroll down and there is an option to use older versions and flash an older version.

Make sure you have debug turned on.

I had this happen to me when I first flashed a ICS port. the only thing that worked for me was to dl the Flash Image GUI from the market & flash your cwm file.

might not be what you want to hear, but... maybe start from scratch again. find a guide that lets you revert to the stock image and then reroot. sometimes... you just have to start with a clean slate. good luck man. sounds like a stressful / annoying issue to have.

I just tried to flash twrp and then cwmr 5.0.2.0 with Flash Image GUI and neither of them stuck...
Is it my only option to ask my friends if I can use their computer? I hate loading things on peoples computer. I feel bad...

Im okay with starting over but I cant even get my computer to recognize my NS4G. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and I have Android sdk and fastboot on my computer but when I boot my phone into fastboot it isn't recognized by my computer. All "./adb devices" or "./fastboot devices" brings up is nothing!
If I can get my Linux machine to recognize my phone I would gladly return to stock unrooted and start over.

Flash twice in rom manager. See if that changes anything. Don't reboot between just one after another. Also, in rom manager hit menu and clear download cache before you try flashing.

No ./ its just fastboot
So it should look like
# fastboot devices
# fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Etc.

This happened to me and I was freaking out until I updated super users binary then flashed clockworkmod and it worked fine.

Oops didn't read both pages

I've had this happen to me several times. The problem happens any time I use an app (i.e. Rom Manager or Flash Image GUI) to flash a new recovery.
The only way I've been able to resolve it is to
1. Flash cwm 3.1.0.1 with fastboot
2. Go into recovery and flash cwm 5.0.2.0.
3. DO NOT update CWM when relaunching Rom Manager or like app.

Either work if he is in the right directory.
@OP: Did you follow the Ubuntu guide to have it recognize your device? I'm on Ubuntu and everything works fine for me.

Fastboot was working because you were in bootloader. Adb requires you to be booted into a ROM with usb debugging turned on.

Problem with TWRP

Hi guys.
I installed via flashfi the TWRP on my nexus with android 5, original rom. My bootloader is unlocked.
However, when trying to enter the recovery mode, appears the initial screen of TWRP and simply back into the system. What might be happening? Its fix it? And is to return to the default recovery?
Regards,

I flashed 2.8.1 using fastboot... Try fastboot and see if it works
