looks like I will be the guinea pig and try it first...here goes nothing!


Update: Confirmed Working!! Making a backup, then flashing a rom

Update 2: Backup worked, mount USB storage from CWM fails, so I have to load into the phone since we got no SD Card

Boots into CMW... Should I try a ROM?

Backup appears to work....

Mount SD didn't work.... Although I didn't figure it would...

I flashed this LTE recovery image over an hour ago and the recovery flashed just fine and I was able to get into recovery and make a backup. Nice job!

Having issues on my Mac. I did the flash, I see the status on the device, but I can't seem to get the recovery to take. It just dumps me into the stock recovery.

./fastboot-mac flash recovery LTErecovery_cwr.img
sending 'recovery' (5300 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY

I re-pushed CWM recovery and seems to be running fine now. Just installed a mod without issues.

has anyone gotten OTA to install after flashing this lte cwm?

If not, any advice on getting stock recovery back for LTE model?

Question. I'm getting 'fastboot' is not recognized...etcetc' when I'm trying to flash the recovery. Noob issue I know. Should i be normally booted up into android when I run that script? I'm unlocked and rooted already.

I pretty much just plugged my phone in, put the downloaded file in the root of my harddrive and made sure cmd was pointing there and ran the script. and it gave me that message that I said above

no, your phone needs to be in fastboot (From off, hold volume up and down and power). then run that.

Weird I couldn't get into recovery.

I was already unlocked so I booted to fastboot, ran the "fastboot flash recovery LTErecovery_cwr.img" command, which worked, then ran "fastboot reboot".

Went back into fastboot, choose Recovery, and all I got was the red triangle until it rebooted itself back into the OS.

i am definitely in recovery, but have not tested doing a backup or restore. I am really trying to get CWR off so that i can run the OTA upgrade, but i dont think there is a stock recovery img file out yet.

    Yup. Just patiently waiting for it now. Getting tired of flashing it manually each time :D

    Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

    You need to delete /system/recovery-from-boot.p
    Or rename it to '1recovery-from-boot.p' without the quotes
    That will prevent the overwriting of CWM with the stock recovery each boot.

    The final version is now released. The OP has been updated. Enjoy. :)

    "You need to rename the recovery-from-boot.p file in the system folder to recovery-from-boot.p.bak to keep the recovery from getting re-flashed to stock on boot"
