Can't access to recovery

Hi,
since I last updated with the March 2nd nightly I cannot access to the recovery any more. Any solution for this rather the going all the painful way using SBF files?
Thanks for any advice.

You can use CM updater, but you need to enable the update of recovery too.

Sorry, friend i did this and during update form 16/11/14 to 17/11/14 via cmupdater i lost the TWRP,So using the method reffered i dint have had any problem untill now as 15 roms updated . IMHO this is the more safe way.

That's called nightly builds, they are built automatically by a build bot.
If that's what you're referring to ^^

Which changes are distributed into builds automatically? Whence?

when I enter the chrome browser is normal to be very very very slow.
It is impossible to navigate with any browser
It's just me or is generally?
Thanks

how do you do that?

@rompip

how do you do that?

Go to adjustments/development section and check the right box,BUT before read my post #7084 because IMHO its not the safer way.

EDIT: glad news as your previous problem solved ,the reason that i wrote the .txt on my post #6520 is to help someone how to use the ADB to install the bootstrap .img.

How to play videos embeded in web page? What you guys use to surf web anyway?

I had the bad idea to install bloatware removal script and lost the camera.
Google camera does not work and cyanogen camera is not compatible with the defy?

Is the android system working yet?
If yes you should be able to copy the necessary files from the rom zip into the correct place to get working. (But I haven't my two Defy's anymore, so can't try/guarantee it.

Yes it work, where i have to copy them?

 

[9Lukas5]

Check if you can find a folder called bootstrap/2nd-boot or similar from the device root directory.
Then check what's inside and copy the files zImage-recovery, ramdisk-recovery, cmdline-recovery and (don't know if needed) cmdline from /system/bootstrap/2nd-boot folder of the current nightly to (I think there it should be) /bootstrap/2nd-boot and set the correct permission. Then try to reboot to TWRP.
But all without guarantee that it works after or the maybe the system also won't start anymore, so be careful.
