Rooting M with chainfires kernel?? Recovery not available?? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else find that rebooting to recovery using twrp doesn't happen? I've tried re flashing recovery with fastboot and even selecting in bootloader boot to recovery after and still just boots into android.. Any ideas? Is it chainfires boot.img causing the problem?

Try unplugging phone from power source then attempt to enter TWRP.

I have done. I've just downloaded selinux changer app. Set permissive and then re flashed twrp again and now I can access it.

How you install custom kernel without TWRP?
My device is stock and i want to install elementalx + supersu to root. But i need TWRP first.

Fastboot the img file of twrp then boot into recovery from the bootloader
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Got the same problem - I flash the TWRP image with fastboot successfully but when I try to enter recovery, it either reboots or shows me the stock recovery. I'm on stog Android 6, trying to flash a different rom and kernel...

we are on the same boat @granets . when i boot to custom recovery it just boots directly to homescreen.

Have you tried the other kernel i linked above?

Left the boat earlier by downloading TWRP again (for a third time!!!) and it worked fine. Guess when downloading from their site, there is a high percent chance you will get a corrupted file. So far around 50% of all images I download don't work, and every time the problem is different. Maybe try that

[Recovery][Unofficial]TWRP 2.7.0.0 & Clockwork Recovery Touch 6.0.4.4 W/loki (D800)
Clockwork recovery touch with Loki for AT&T LG G2 (D800) Only.
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
exit
exit
adb reboot recovery
Now you should be in 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.

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] 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.

It is possible via android sdk. You can use command: fastboot boot twrp.img
where twrp.img is the name of the recovery that you downloaded and not twrp.img

If you intend on flashing things AMD backing up, flash a recovery. If you're not willing to flash a recovery, don't modify your phone

The problem with flashing is that you loose the ota update ability. That's why i would like to keep the stock recovery and just boot into cwm when i need it... But i guess i can restore the stock recovery via flashify before the ota is being installed so thats a solution... I just dont like flashing this stuff via apps

1) you do not lose OTA update ability with custom recovery. Read "OTA help-desk" available via my signature
2] what's the big deal about OTA? Its the worst way of updating available to everyone. Why bother? If you rely on OTA, remain unrooted, unmodified. Rooting is not for you.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Ugh lol OK, so worried about the ota? No worries, flash whatever recovery you want twrp,cwm,philz whatever floats your boat. Then when your ota comes out use Rashr to reflash stock recovery so you can update(you have to be on stock obviously).
I've done this numerous times, works every time.

One of the problems with OTA is the slow delivery and partial nature.
If I wasn't rooted, i'd always update using factory images. But since I am, the best way is for flash a pre-rooted stock ROM via recovery. They're usually available within an hour of the factory image becoming available

Agreed 100%, I normally stay rooted,this most recent preview though I'm staying stock. After running L for the last couple months its hard to go back to KitKat(I've tried several times). I have no intention of flashing another rom atm, I'll worry about root after the 3rd.
As for buddy worrying about the ota, really you have two choices.
#1 root and flash a recovery then wait for someone to post a root stock ROM
#2 wait for the ota
The only real benefit I see in waiting for the ota is you will probably get to keep all your apps on your phone. Me personally? I'd just fastboot the preview and wait till the 3rd.

[Q] Backup won't restore.

So I installed the lateat CM12 nightly, wasn't really impressed yet and went to go restore my backup and once it's done restoring, it get stuck at the bootscreen animation. Just keeps going and going abs going. I used the latest cwm touch recovery as CM12 is not compatible with MultiROM. I would just flash the factory img back but my computer decided to it doesn't ever want to recognize adb avid fastboot on Linux.
Anyone know where I can find a flashable zip for the factory 5.0.1 ROM? Any help would be appreciated!

You're on a custom Rom. The ota isn't going to work. And you don't need to relock your bootloader. If you can afford to wipe your data download the 5.0.1 factory image. Extract it and use the flash-all.bat

Well, unfortunately, there isn't a 5.0.1 flashable rom available right now. If you can't get fastboot to work on your Linux machine you're kind of sol as you need to be 100% stock to get the ota to work. That means stock recovery in your case.

Get wugfreshes Toolbox. It has access to all factory images. Some people are not fans of "one click solutions" but this has never let me down.
There's a flushable zip on here also. Put it in a search in the app and you should come across it. It IS the full version.
Did you ever find out why the CWM restore led to getting stuck on boot animation??
Just ran into this last night. Tried restoring 2 different CWM backups and both got stuck on boot animation.
I eventually got a new ROM flashed. Going to try TWRP recovery I suppose.
I know I never had this problem with 4.4, this was the first time I have restored a LP ROM..

My guess would be; cwm hasn't been optimized for Lollipop. Cyanogen has just recently started working on 5.0 and they probably haven't touched the recovery too much. But that's just my guess.

1GB or 2GB doesn't matter, the process is the same, so there is something else going on...
Can you just boot the TWRP image? "fastboot boot recovery.img" (replace recovery.img with the latest TWRP image, r5 I think)
If that doesn't work, what is the status of your bootloader from the bootloader screen?
Thanks, I flashed the latest one r5 and it shows in fast boot it is written however when I'm going to recovery it does not bring recovery and only poor android photo comes up with nothing found like happens in stock recovery . Only r1 test recovery successfully load but it does not flash anything

But can you BOOT it? (not talking about flashing anything)
After you flash, ate you starting recovery immediately or rebooting first, because you can't reboot before starting it or it will be overwritten by stock.
I have restarted in boatloader and gone into twrp recovery r1 test version but after flashing super su it goes to boot loop

Also how can I start recovery after flashing it without restarting boatloader?

Hey
Are you using a compatible supersu zip for your phone? From where did you downloaded it?

Did you use the systemless method, where in the TWRP terminal you enter the echo command?

Latest recovery should be used (I think it was 3.0.2 r5). And you'll have to do the systemless install, unless you want bootloop. Also make a note of which recovery you flash/boot- Osprey is for Moto G 2015 and Merlin is for Moto G 2015 Turbo Edition.
