haha, that’s what I get for trying to do it the easy way. I copy pasted “bootlooader” 3 times before I realized it was misspelled. At first I’m like wtf… why is it booting to the os, something strange is going on…

This is great. I always have a hard time using the volume buttons with my current case. Thanks, D-L.

lol, the 3-finger salute huh? never heard that one before. I got it going though. One more question, is this a permanent recovery? Until now, with CWM, I had to reflash the recovery before doing anything.

Each line is a new command.

adb reboot bootloader

hit enter

fastboot flash recovery whatever-the-file-name-is.img

hit enter

Alternatively, you can boot into bootloader-mode manually by using the 3-finger salute while off. (volume-up/down and power until it vibrates)

PC, on those commands, are they all typed on the same line?

My first experience with my current setup, I charged it completely and then deleted the batterystats.bin file to reset it. Granted I was at work and didn’t use my phone much at all but when I finally plugged it in at 27% it was 23 hours and 51 minutes later.

Good luck. I’m using the GladOS kernel personally, but may be changing soon. Had some spontaneous reboots this weekend that have irritated me slightly.

Yep, I flashed it after it was posted here for Custom Rom Friday. Loving it so far. I read a lot of people recommending the franco kernel so I’m trying it out as well. Thanks again for the help. Going to check out the link now.

If it helps at all: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14263-recoverytouch-based-clockworkmod-recovery/
Market link (if you want painless as possible): https://market.android.com/details?id=com.unstableapps.cwmrtouchinstaller (It’s $1.99)

This is a CWMR Touch Recovery that I am currently using. It scrolls, selects, and moves “back” with gestures (swipe up or down to scroll, swipe right to select, left to go back)…and has been rock solid for me so far.
The recovery itself is free. The commands to install it manually are on the first link (as well as the recovery file itself).

The market link is simply for an app that will do it all for you.

Glad to hear it’s all working now. (FYI: Other than the kernel, you and I have the exact same set-up. Gotta love AOKP.)

Trying to flash the above recovery
aopk_toro_build-21
CWM Recovery
3.0.18-franco.Kernel-nightly-14.3
Samsung Galaxy Nexus

After it wouldn’t come back on, I did a battery pull, waited about 20 seconds, put the battery back in and it booted up. Still too nervous to try it again though..

(original reply via email – disqus didn’t bother posting it, probably will in two days or so…whatever..)

“I’m going out on a hunch and assuming…” (you know where that gets you?)

We could assume a number of things. We could even, granted, assume I’m a prick.

…but if I am, at least I am a helpful one. Care to count up how many others replied? …and where was your helpful response?

Oh, right. There wasn’t one…you just posted to call me names. (…what does that make you??)

Right. Well…in that spirit:

I’m a prick? Really? Good thing then… Because if it wasn’t for us pricks, all you c*ck-s*ckers would starve.

I’m going out on a hunch and assuming that he’s using the Galaxy Nexus, since you know the name of the article is “Touch-Enabled Clockwork Recovery Released as Beta for Galaxy Nexus”.

what was he doing? Most probably flashing the “Touch-Enabled Clockwork Recovery Released as Beta for Galaxy Nexus”…just guessing.

You could have just told him to pull his battery and try again, instead of being a pretentious prick.

Edit: Gah…not the same recovery I was thinking about. ignore this post.

As usual, those asking for help rarely give anyone enough information to actually, you know…help.

What were you doing? What ROM, Recovery, kernel…Hell, what *phone* are you even using?

Without any of that the best anyone could recommend is a battery pull and if that does nothing, a fastboot flash back to stock to restore a recent nandroid if possible on your device.

Try the battery pull and if that doesn’t help, give us some useful info to work with.
