Go to market, search "Clockworkmod"


Install Rom Manager*

Open up Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

A pop-up will come up called "Confirm Phone Model," of course choose "Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA"

Now let it install etc, then with a File Manager** with SU access, Go to system, click "Mount R/W"(if using Root Explorer) and then scroll down until you see "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"

Close out off your File Manager and go to Rom Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery"

There you go(:
You should be able to boot into CWM
* Free version works
**I used Root Explorer

For starters that file doesnt exist under the directory "system"

By "that file" I'm assuming you are referring to "recovery-from-boot.p" ?

Could be because you are on a custom ROM. I am on Android Revolution HD and I don't see it at all as well. I also can directly boot from ROM Manager directly into CWM. I never touched this file at all and I never looked for it.

I had to do this same thing on stock to keep the stock recovery from restoring.

Yeah it's a known bug, that's hopefully getting worked on.

Thank you for this! Now one question if I didn't do this and the stock recovery booted what would be the steps too get this recovery installed?

Then you would follow the steps in the OP

What are the benefits to doing this final part. Is it necessary? Some say they didn't do this? Now on the Thunderbolt I didn't have to have rom manager installed and I could still boot into recovery. Is this the same? If I rename that file (which is in my system directory) will I be able to boot into cwm at any point?

Thanks I have done everything with the exception to this. Wondering if its necessary?

Edit: I guess I should have waited for a response because I went ahead and followed the steps in the OP and it came up with an android with a red triangle. Pulled that battery and booted up ok. Any info I need to be aware of? I wasn't able to boot into recovery from rom manager at first. I can now boot into recovery after reflashing CWM recovery but cannot do anything once I am in it?
