Awesome. This will make rooting even easier. Just unlock, flash CWM and then install su from there.

Does this recovery work?

I have flashed the same recovery via rom manager and it just comes up with a black screen

Koush has said he will fix it in the next few days

Protip: Test something before you post it. This does NOT work at the time of writing.

Same here black screen when booting to recovery

This was already posted a few days ago and it was stated that it didnt work and the link removed.

I have removed the link from the original post until its working and then the first person to post the information (or the developer) will have the right to post it.

Mark.

Can, reportedly, also be gotten through the ROM Manager.

Can you backup your stock Recovery before flashing CWM Recovery?

 

[Niksko]

There's some reports on Koush's twitter that superuser doesn't work on CWM on the Nexus

for me its working well. just made backup and using SU after etc. no issue at all

but i installed cwm from ROM manager instead

 

[youngproguru]

How does CWM save/store its ROMS, and where does it load from? With the Xoom, without a working SD, it was not possible to use CWM.

If the onboard storage is all one volume with the OS, is the storage included in the backup, and how is the images written if the storage is needed to hold the ROMS to be flashed?

I'd like to know this too. I found something that would back it up, but you need root first. I'd like to be able to back it up before rooting if possible.

Rooting shouldn't affect the Recovery partition so you should be able to safely root then backup your stock recovery before installing ClockworkMod Recovery?

Or if someone backs up theirs you could download it and keep a copy of it?

Anyone can post here recovery.fstab ?

 

[siedkins]

I have just installed Rom Manager and I get a FC but it seems to have installed the CWM OK. It successfully rebooted to CWM and I could navigate around but I didn't try flashing anything yet.

The issue may be more with Rom Manager than the recovery

 

[Epedemic]

Installed CWM just fine, however when i try to do a nandroid backup it says "Can't mount backup path" or when i try to browse for a zip to install "Can't mount /sdcard/".

My first guess is that it is because i encrypted my phone, but i believe it works on my Xoom, which is encrypted as well... (I will check this later when i have my Xoom nearby)

FYI, this recovery also is confirmed working on my VZW LTE version.
Backups are approximately 6-700MB and are ext4.tar files for system, data and cache.
