change permanent recovery - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I installed CWM 2.0.1 permanently on my HTC eris. Is it possible to view the recovery with a root browser and possibly add files to it? I would the recovery to be able to clear the dalvik cache. Whenever I try to clear the cache with this recovery it does not work. I do have the ability to clear the cache when I select a different recovery with rom manager.

What do you mean? I don't think you can wipe it while the system is running... Are you locked out of open recovery?
What ROM are you using? If you're using one of khal's recent ROMs or Dexter+bugfix-v3 you should be able to use Motorola's recovery to wipe the cache partition (dalvik cache is moved to /cache by default on these roms, otherwise it's on /data (or you could have moved it to ext partition)).
Now I'm using the ROM dexter, You're right, it is not possible while the system is working ....
Thanks.!

[Q] Full wipe with dalvik cache etc. on Stock Rom

Hi,
if the upgrade to ICS is available i want to do a full wipe with factory reset before.
How is the best way and in which order is best to do a full system cleansing with stock rom 2.3.6 installed.
First deletion of SD Card an than over the recovery menu resetting the rest?

I'm no expert but why would you delete the sdcard?
Root, install CWM recovery via rom manager. Select if you have 4g or not.
load rom onto root of the sdcard
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Flash rom
If you want to install a custom kernel instead of the one that comes with your rom of choice
After you flash the rom
Go back and rewipe dalvik
Then flash kernel
Reboot and enjoy

There's no point in wiping the dalvik twice, and instead of wiping the dalvik in CWM I'd use dalvik-wiper.zip by Morfic. Flashable zip, and it actually wipes the dalvik.
The rest is all good to the best of my knowledge.
Full wipe with GB stock rom before upgrade to ICS
Hi,
@polobunny
on the SD memory are two folders named .android_secure and Android where Android specific things are stored in. I have read that for a new and clean system build up would be good to delete this folders before.
@sookieball
I have only the normal stock rom 2.3.6 with stock recovery (no CWM) and want to stay there.
So then I think the best way is to go over the menu and do a reset to the factory settings. Delete the to folders on the SD memory manually and afterwards I will go into the recovery menu and delete the dalvik cache and then apply the ICS update.
Why i want to to this? I have at the moment a lot of useless Apps installed and i want to refresh all and start with a clean system with upgrading to ICS. Thats all.
Wherever you read that you should stop reading there.

Now, first of all flash TWRP recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617 from CWM by putting it into SD card and then flashing it.
Now, simply download the Bio Hazard ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917906 , and again put it in SD card.
Now, download Gaaps for your mobile from this URL - http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Now, boot into recovery, and then go to Wipe Menu, there wipe system, data ( factory reset ) and all the cache.
Now, go to install menu, and there choose Bio Hazard ROM file that you downloaded into your SD card.
Flash it.
Now, flash Gapps that was in your SD card.
Now simply reboot your mobile !!!
All done your mobile should be working !

[Q] Android Help!

i have a starmobile astra, same as the celkon a200, after rooting
i installed a new font using font changer in advanced mode, after booting
my phone stucked at logo, i tried formatting/wipingdata/factpry reset,
none these works..
i can't update rom, my default dir of sd is the internal not the mmc,
these are the item in recovery:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard (w/c is the internal memory)
apply update from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
backup user data
restore user data
how can i fix this? or there's any chance to fix this?
replies will be much appreciated..
maybe you can download a rom put in your SDcard .then select apply rom from sd.good luck!
First of all, I think that is important to mention what is the recovery that you have.
When you are in recovery, you can not access the device via adb? If the answer is yes, you can push a ROM to your internal sd-card and flash it.

I am having Lenovo a6000. I rooted it via King root. Few days back i installed chainfire3d on it. it asked for reboot so i just click yes. . now after reboot my phone went in boot loop. i have twrp recovery installed so i wipe dalvik, cache and system. Also i did factory reset. so i don't have root access and also i don't have my backup of android. So what should i do? I think installing stock ROM will do but is there any other way out of it?

Okay. If you have working TWRP installed the chances of fixing your phone are 98%.
Your system parition is invalid or corrupted. The only way is intalling stock rom and Gapps if you don't have a backup. If you have a backup just restore it.
Here are the steps:
1. Download these files on your computer:
https://userscloud.com/0mz53p05uoy1 - Micro Gapps
https://userscloud.com/vn2vevhp2vd0 - Stock rom
2. Put the files on your phone. Use an USB cable or a micro SD adapter for that.
If you need help with this just ask.
You can put them anywhere (SD card, internal memory), just remember where you put the files.
3. Enter your TWRP recovery.
Go to Wipe > Advenced Wipe
Now select Dalvik Cache, Cache, System and Data.
Swipe to wipe.
4. Go to main menu of recovery.
Select install.
Now find your Stock rom file and install it.
Select install again.
Now find the Gapps file and install that.
You are done. Set up your phone, install apps you need and then
make sure to make a NANDROID BACKUP!
Anyways you can bookmark this and use it to fix your phone any time.
