I'm having trouble with getting back into CWM after running this. I was able to get into CWM the first time to flash the SuperSu.zip file. After I rebooted and unpluged my phone from the computer, I tried to get back into recovery. All I get is a dead android guy with a ! above him.

If you can’t get into recovery, try re-flashing recovery then go straight into recovery. What happens is that stock Android OS has a security measure that overwrites your custom recovery upon reboot. If this happens to you, simply re-flash recovery and boot into recovery right away without reboot.

Worked great on my GSM Galaxy Nexus.

I initially tried the windows toolkit, but I could never get the drivers to install on my aging Vista machine. I'd much rather have something working for my Mac. And having it in script form is, I have to say, a big plus, because it's easy to see what's going on, tweak it, whatever (not that I had to).

Thank you very much for this, techfanatic9!

If my bootloader is already un-locked will this Root GSM/Verizon/Sprint just install SU, CWM and root without wiping?

If I wanted to flash the newest version of CWM, is it as easy as replacing the .img from your install folder with the newest CWM version?

If I wanted to modify this for the Nexus 7, would I just have to get the right CWM recovery and update the script to use it? I don't know anything about fastboot, but would the same fastboot work?

Thanks!

Awesome tool kit mtp is rendered useless however. Everything works fine except I'm.not able to transfer files after I root or unroot. Any suggestions or help this is annoying. I searched also btw and even returning to stock did nothing

    If using the "Unroot/Stock 4.2" Kit, does it overwrite CWM and flash the stock recovery so that OTA updates are possible?
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Yes it will install stock recovery and you will be able to get OTA updates.
