trouble with recoveries
Hi [NUT],
This is mixed bag issue, so as a patience might first go to a general practitioner, I’m asking for directions or a road map.
Specs: XZ, UB and deodeex, rooted .67 rom V2 Drummerjed. Before that it had V1, rooted and TWRP recovery. Before, previous stock, rooted and TWRP recovery, with LB (Kingroot, I think).
Since updating to V2, with dual recovery, I keep loosing recovery. I think this started because of a busybox update… I’ve read it can cause issues with recovery, so off with busybox updater.
Basically, I tried to install xposed and zblast and found out wow my recoveries were gone. That never happened with V1 and single recovery, so I had various nandroids, luckily.
Being without recovery, I used Zrecovery.apk (my previous TWRP single recovery) to reinstall recovery. Got unstable, could not boot system (had Bootstall).
Flashtooled .67 stock rom, used doomlord exploit for root, installed Zrecovery/TWRP and installed V2 from recovery, which brought dual recovery.
At this point, from clean install, TWRP did not read data from my internal and external sd card (CWM was fine). I kept getting bootstalls with the purplish led, except it wouldn’t go into recovery, until I held on Vol UP. The Vol UP power combo for turning off works, I can get into fastboot to flash recoveries but its all unstable.
So I used Zrecovery again and got 2 TWRP recoveries (vol up and vol down). The latter, from the dual recovery, wouldn’t read sd card; the former, allowed for a new android backup and I restored my system.
I’ve fiddled around like this several times trying to get stability and recoveries, so I’ve actually lost track of exact movements. I can, however, through the dual TWRP recoveries restore my data… but loose recoveries if I keep the dual recovery CWM and TWRP…
I don’t know where else to look: I’d like to post recovery logs, but I don’t know if their accurate (will using a formated fresh sd card help figure this out?). I have several gigs of data I would like to recover from android. I’ve tried to clean out the old recovery, but failed. Whats strange is the issues arise even when I flash stock rom, install recovery, and restore nandroid of Drummerjed .67 and my data (or root it first).
Presently I have the rom installed, my data on, but no recoveries. EDIT: I can enter into CWM recovery after modding off button to include reboot into recovery; I can´t enter CWM using the usual Power ON+Vol UP). end EDIT
So I don’t want to fiddle again aimlessly. I suspect that something I have on the backups is messing with the boot data and dual recoveries, but I have no clue how to begin. I’ve read several threads here; I’m moderately experience (unlocked, locked BL and unlocked again; have flashed various android roms on my dell streak 5, and windows 6.5 my Samsungs made for 6.1.); but I’m at a loss here…
Any pointers please?
