Just tested with ROM Mananger, it can backup just fine.. as soon i choose a ROM to install it loads recovery and fails, just like when you do it manually.

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

Pretty common lately...Android for Nexus S recovers its recovery if it is changes...
"You dawg, we heard you like recovering your recoveries, so we made recovery recover in recovery." and all that...

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

New ROM

Whenever i try to flash a new ROM it doesn't want to load. I've tried the CM7 nightlies and the pheonix ROM. This is what I do.
I root my phone via one click root.
Install clockwork recovery via app.
wipe
install ROM via recovery (install zip)
start up
Locks at LG screen. Ugh!
Any advice?

This is a must for the g2x. If you use from manager it only fake flashes clockwork mod recovery and makes you unable to flash roms.
Typical way to achieve root on the g2x is to.
1. Nvflash cwm
2. Create a nandroid backup.
3. Flash a rom that has root.
Don't bother with rom manager or super one click.

Just as a quick question. Does wiping the system, wipe ANY of my data? Like does it only wipe the existing ROM? Ive been confused of it since the first time i flashed a ROM

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and get back to you. I don't think it had to do with the wipe as I always ran a wipe script before installing. I thought it had to do with the kernel.... (don't have a clue though)
I'll flash the clockwork via nvflash, and get back to you, thanks.
EDIT:
IT WORKS. NVFlash the recovery, make sure to change the command if you have a different version you plan to flash/

you definitely want to do that. do you have a nandoid backup of your original system? if your phone breaks, that is the only way to revert it back to original for an exchange (unless ofcourse you take a hammer to it).

Yeah. I have a Stock froyo backup.

I think so. Catch is that I don't know if doing that will actually update anything, the whole problem is that ROM manager doesn't flash it properly/to the right place. The only thing to do is make a nandroid and try it out and if ti doesn't work, then reflash with NV flash and you're good.

[Q] ROM Flashing Question

Okay, So I have a Galaxy S III for VZW(SCH-I535) and I was wanting to flash a ROM but I do not know how. I read guides but I really don't wanna ruin my phone. Is there any ROMs that I can use with Odin that would be easier. I want to use the Latest Liquid Smooth ROM. Is there any way I can do this easily WITHOUT worrying about screwing up my phone?

no way to do this without rooting and unlocking your bootloader. which if you use casual, is fairly fool proof.

That's not really necessary it's very easy. To flash roms you flash zip files, then your recovery does the work to copy all the files in that zip to the correct place, then when you reboot you have your ROM. So for liquid smooth here is my tutorial: 1. Download Liquidsmooth, the download link is in the OP of the LS thread, also download Google apps, you'll see download links for that in the LS thread, it's something you need for AOSP ROMs. 2. Both will download as a zip file, don't extract it and copy the 2 zips to your phone's SD. 3. Boot into recovery, select Wipe and choose the options data, system, cache, and dalvik. You will always check these 4 before flashing any ROM. No more and no less. 5. Choose the flash option, in the file manager find your liquid smooth zip, confirm flash, and let it finish. You are now on liquid smooth hooray but you are not done. 6. Since you're on AOSP you do not have Google apps which you need or you won't have a play store app. So now flash the Google apps zip the same way you flashed liquid smooth. Now reboot and voila. That is how you flash any ROM. But for touch wiz ROMs you do not flash Google apps.

Your imei is different and you should back it up. It's easy to do and it really sucks when you lose it without a backup.

Yup those 4. I think the ROM will wipe system for you but I like to wipe it anyway. Make sure you don't accidentally select "internal storage" cause that will wipe your SD card. Then after that you'll have nothing installed and that's when you install your ROM. Don't forget to install the gapps zip too after.

What was the name of the gapps zip you installed? It should be called "gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip" you might have gotten a bad download with your ROM or your gapps or both. You can check the md5 to see if it matches. It if doesn't match you have a bad download.

Do you use SuperSU rather than Superuser? I think CWM recovery only look for Superuser, so if you have SuperSU installed it will think you aren't rooted.

Official CWM doesn't recognize the SuperSU binary. This is one of the reasons I don't recommend it, but rather PhilZ Touch CWM or TWRP.

Thanks

It helped me too, thanks

what did you guys do to fix this?
New cwm? Or Download superuser from the store and uninstall SuperSU? Can you guys please provide more details as this is driving me nuts to have to click on yes or no to fix root every time I go into Recovery. Or Should I use Twrp?
And, I'm surprised there aren't more people with this problem. Are we the only ones?

Obviously this topic is a little more difficult for me to figure out on my own and your response even though you're trying to help me does not help. I don't know what it means to just stop using super user when I'm using supersu? Am I supposed to uninstall supersu and then install superuser? Are these the same apps? And if I do flash another recovery like team win, do I have to uninstall ClockworkMod first? I have tried to look online for an answer to this and this thread is the only one with this problem which is mind boggling the amount of Nexus 5 users compared to the five people here who are experiencing this problem. So if you can direct me to another link that has more information, that would be great otherwise I'm not quite sure how to fix this when you guys said you did it so easily.

Just flash TWRP, CWM is horrible anyways. Or you could just ignore it and just press no every time. Makes no difference.
And you don't "uninstall" CWM then install TWRP. You flash it over (overwrite) CWM.

[Q] clockworkmod recovery got replaced by stock recovery on cm11

hello guys
i installed cm11 through one click installer had cwm on it now suddenly after reboot its taking me to simple recovery?!?
dont know what happened..need help
in my rom manager app its still showing current recovery as cwm 6.0.4.5 but when i reboot to recovery it takes me to simple recovery
pls help!
ok edit : when i go to recovery from rom manager app it takes me to cwm but when i do it manually ( advanced power button and volume + power button) it takes me to simple?
edit again : when i click on install from sd card (to install m9) it takes me back to simple recovery even from within rom manager??

first off, get rid of rom manager. itll has so many issues and will cause you many headaches. what you did first is not flash a recovery to your device, you just booted it. thats only for a one time use. you need to flash the custom recovery to have it permanently on your phone.

Reflash your recovery. And I recommend TWRP. I hear complaints ALL the time with CWR due to bugs but never TWRP. I've used CWR in the past on my Droid X. But I've since gone TWRP and I'm never looking back.

use the flashify app, its free, and can be used to flash other things besides a recovery. its a great app. you dont need rom manager to get into a recovery ever. if you press the power button(long), youll get a menu, press reboot. then youll get 3 more option, reboot/recovery/bootloader, press recovery(after you use flashify to flash your recovery).

I recommended Rom Installer over Flashify. It will download your recovery for you and keep it up to date. It will provide ROM updates. Also you can create a queue of zips to flash before you reboot. Then it flashes them automatically. It's a really good app. Way better then ROM Manager. Made by Jrummy so you know it's good . Not trying to bash @simms22. It's just my preferred app.

just finished installing twrp through twrp manager...showed flashed recovery successfully but when i reboot manually again i get directed to simple recovery
when i go into simple recovery recovery this is the message i get:-
cyanogenmod simple recovery <3e>
cm_hammerhead-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P Installe
then my 5 options :-
rebbot sys now
apply update
wipe date/fac reset
wipe cache partition
wipe media

@ayush88 OK I'd say Flash it via fastboot
