moboot, twrp and moboot.next

For now, seems like other folks are running into the same issues and sounds like you guys will take care of it in the next release of moboot. Thanks for all the work.

To clarify:
Some *future* version of moboot *may* lift the requirement that the OS
remove the moboot.next file. I did not intend to imply that the next version
would do so.

However, it is my understanding that the next version of TWRP will
remove the moboot.next file.

Also, if you name the TWRP image as per the install instructions (and
do not rename it to ClockworkMod), you should not run into this issue.
When TWRP supports clearing the moboot.next file, I can provide an
update that will set it as the default recovery. Until that time, I would
suggest not renaming it. Just do a normal reboot and select it from the
moboot menu.

Installed using CWM recovery. Also have the latest Moboot 0.3.5, CM7 and Archlinux installed. TWRP refuses to boot with error, BOOT FAILED! Press SELECT to continue. When I press the Home key I return to the Moboot menu, but any selection freezes at Loading '/boot/uImage.(whatever selection)' ... OK. If I then turn the device off and start over, I can boot into any selection but TWRP. Looking forward to being able to use TWRP but can't right now.

Found out there is not enough room in /boot for everything, so I deleted CWM and installed TWRP manually using Better Terminal Emulator and Root Explorer. Working great, thanks.

CH, i think i need to install this recover manually as well as something must have gone wrong with my install as i do not have cwm as a selection in moboot. how can i install a recovery at this point? i have xron but just no recovery in moboot. thx.

I think if you re-run the acme installer with moboot and clockwork mod in the cminstall folder it will put them back for you. You should not have to re-install xron.

If you have ADB, you should be able to do it as well. Have to mount rootfs, make a dir /boot and then mount boot. Once you are one, you can just list the contents of /boot with ls, delete unwanted files and just push your recovery of choice. I put some steps in leo's thread on how to do this, will try and search for you.

adb shell ##should automatically give you a root shell
mount -o rw,remount rootfs / ##this will remount the rootfs (/) partition as read-write
mkdir boot ##make a directory for mounting the partition inside of
mount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 /boot ##mount the actual boot partition
cd /boot ## Change directory to /boot
ls -l ## list contents of /boot
adb push uImage.twrp /boot ## Remember, if you don't have enough space in /boot, this will fail.
