This is a guide on how to get ClockWorkMod onto your LTE Galaxy Nexus through Rom Manager
Go to market, search "Clockworkmod"
Install Rom Manager*
Open up Rom Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
A pop-up will come up called "Confirm Phone Model," of course choose "Google Galaxy Nexus CDMA"
Now let it install etc, then with a File Manager** with SU access, Go to system, click "Mount R/W"(if using Root Explorer) and then scroll down until you see "recovery-from-boot.p" and rename it to "recovery-from-boot.p.bak"
Close out off your File Manager and go to Rom Manager and select "Reboot into Recovery"
There you go
You should be able to boot into CWM
* Free version works
**I used Root Explorer

By "that file" I'm assuming you are referring to "recovery-from-boot.p" ?

Could be because you are on a custom ROM. I am on Android Revolution HD and I don't see it at all as well. I also can directly boot from ROM Manager directly into CWM. I never touched this file at all and I never looked for it.

Yeah it's a known bug, that's hopefully getting worked on.
Thank you for this! Now one question if I didn't do this and the stock recovery booted what would be the steps too get this recovery installed?

Then you would follow the steps in the OP
What are the benefits to doing this final part. Is it necessary? Some say they didn't do this? Now on the Thunderbolt I didn't have to have rom manager installed and I could still boot into recovery. Is this the same? If I rename that file (which is in my system directory) will I be able to boot into cwm at any point?
Thanks I have done everything with the exception to this. Wondering if its necessary?
Edit: I guess I should have waited for a response because I went ahead and followed the steps in the OP and it came up with an android with a red triangle. Pulled that battery and booted up ok. Any info I need to be aware of? I wasn't able to boot into recovery from rom manager at first. I can now boot into recovery after reflashing CWM recovery but cannot do anything once I am in it?

Flashing through ROM Manager is just a simpler way to get CWM. And I'm not sure why you would have gotten the red triangle, unless you didn't rename/delete the file in system. And I haven't heard anyone say the couldn't do anything in recovery, so I'm not sure what the problem is there.
When I try and change the file name it says insufficient permissions??
I have root...
Cwm doesn't stick though. I always have to boot reflash recovery and then boot into recovery through from manager..
Any suggestion?

Your file manager doesn't have root privileges, so until you rename/delete the file you won't be able to reboot into CWM

This. I was using astro but changed to root explorer and changed file name. Turned phone off and went into fast boot and then recovery and it worked.
To be clear, I was able to go into recovery before. I would have to open from manager, reflash cwm and boot into recovery.
I was just unable to power phone off and boot into recovery manually. Now I can.

Thanks for the reply. I did rename it the file to .bak following the script to the t! I don't know what happened either. Since then I deleted the file entirely this time and reflashed the cwm seems to work a little better than before an now I can do things in cwm recovery. Hope nothing else goes crazy.

Yeah, that file can cause problems with CWM on LTE, although it's a quick fix, I'm sure it's being worked on for future editions. And since you've been able to flash things, when you use the volume keys to high light options, does it skip one or two every now and then? That's only problem I seem to be having.

I started doing the Google framework force stop and clear cache today while on wifi and was prompted after 5 or 6 tries. It downloaded, verified download, rebooted and TRIED to install. About 15% through, it said untrusted zip and cwm screen popped up top and asked 'install untrusted zip?' Of course I hit yes.. why isn't it trusted? Its straight from the carrier. Anyway it immediately said installation aborted. I repeated this process again and got the same results. Please someone help. Now that JB is finally here my phone won't take it???

If you have CWM flashed, you have to manually flash the update -- it won't install over-the-air. If you want to install it over-the-air, flash back the stock recovery then accept the update.

Gnex Toolkit wasn't working because of some missing file... re-installed it and flashed the stock recovery via Gnex Toolkit (I think). Is there a way to check which recovery is running? Anyway, if it is indeed stock, I just got prompted again for the OTA JB update.. it's installing now.... fingers crossed!!!
..OK so now it rebooted... started installing, got about halfway through.. paused, then it went to the stock recovery screen and stayed with a red triangle around an exclamation point! What is happening here?!
I have now re-locked the bootloader and received the prompt for OTA again....
Still won't work for me. I've tried even flashing the stock image and it won't install at all. Actually nothing is installing.
I've never done anything to the phone besides unlocking the BL and rooting and switching to CWM. It seems to have something to do with the SD mount.. nut then again I have no idea.
Where's all the Android gurus at?

Thanks!
I try to root my phone samsung SGH-T999V s3 of videotron. I use the method of this post: SGH-T999V Canadian GS3 (CWM + ROOT + CM9).
I had to redo the step with Odin 3 times to finally restart the CMW recovery. I remove the battery and finally I succeeded. I install ClockworkMod touch.
Now the problem is that I am unable to restart CMW Recovery mode. I tried the method of Vol + and Power Menu and the method by writing terminal emulator su, boot recovery and also ROM manager. It does not work.
Each time it is the stock android recovery which starts
I do not know what to do to install CyanogenMod 10.
I have read many post but I do not know if my phone is compatible with the other method.
Can you help me please
Reflash and take the battery out faster. ODIN will say it's succesfull and then the phone will overwrite it so the only way to know for sure is when you go into recovery.
Battery pulls are unnecessary. Delete or rename these.
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
Reinstall recovery with rom or goo manager and reboot recovery.

Ok, you do need root first to delete those files. Sorry for misunderstanding earlier.
Reflash your recovery with odin like before but make sure you uncheck suto reboot.
After complete, unplug and hold the power button untill it begins restarting. You need to be quick but as soon as the screen goes off, immediately press home and volume up while still holding power. Itll take a few seconds but after the blue text flashes at the top of the screen let go of power but keep holding the other two till you get recovery.
Now flash superSU or superuser and reboot.
Now you should be able to delete those files and reinstall recovery with goo or rom manager.
Im going by memory so you may want to get another opinion first. But I think you should be good.

That might be a problem I need to type su and since I have no binaries my terminal emulator won't have su privileges.

There isn't an option under settings --> developer options for root? At one time, they had didn't options for apps, adb, or both. You would need the both box checked for it to boot into recovery via an app. I haven't used it in a while, so I'm not even sure if they still do it this way.
And it is strange that you can't boot in recovery. Instead of the power off, then hold volume up, home button, and power....have you just tried to reboot the phone and when the screen goes blank hold the volume up and home? I've had luck getting into recovery by that.
Plus, if you are running CM, there should be a reboot option for recovery when you power off. Reboot --> recovery.
Last idea, have you tried to download goo manager from the market? That works well with TWRP.

I tried goo and that didn't work.
Cm does have the reboot options, but it had to be turned on. Developer options doesnt show up under settings, but I remember there was a way to turn it on. I went under "About phone or Device" clicked on everything like 10 times and I forgot which 1 it was, but I unlocked developer options. Turned on reboot menu. Rebooted phone into recovery and although it took a while I got into recovery. Flashed a new rom and I'm back in action.
Thank u guys honestly. I could not have done it without u guys.

I installed cm11 via cyanogenmod installer. When I was done with installing it, I installed Rom Manager application. The application then offered to install CWM Recovery, so I agreed to do so since I am more accustomed to it than TWRP.
Was working, until I the phone told me I had a new update.
The update downloads, and tries to install, but nothing happens ( or happens wrong so it just aborts), and I am left with the "there is an update for your phone".
So I figured out I might do it manually, so I went to Rom Manager and set TWRP to be default, and went to recovery.... and there was CWM.
I tried GooManager, TWRP Manager, all still reboot into CWM not TWRP.
I then tried CWM and it worked flashing the latest snapshot, but it had a serious bug, so I restored to the previous snapshot. ( Can't how that is relevant to the subject).
I really would like to install the TWRP and remove CWM. My question is: How do I remove CWM and install TWRP.
Thanks.
Just learn fastboot and manually flash TWRP image. If nothing goes wrong, TWRP will overwrite CWM as your only recovery.

I did as u said, but now I can't boot into recovery, and when in fastboot menu, it says I have no boot or recovery image.
But I can load into cm normally.
However what's weird is that it said the product code name was tuna, which is wrong, it should be maguro.
Any thoughts??

Tuna is your phone. Tuna is Toro, Toro+ and maguro.. As said before learn how to use fastboot and flash it via fastboot. Plenty of guides.. Its really easy.

Yea at this point you may need to use fastboot. If multiple tries of above haven't worked.
As said, it's REALLY easy.
You can use fastboot to clear recovery partition in case something is corrupted in it. And can just do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the path to recovery.img file you are installing. If you are cd'd into folder where recovery.img is located you can just use the name of the img file instead of the full path name to it.... it might sound confusing, but there are step by step fool proof guides to follow. And after you've done it once you'll be like "dang what was I worried about, this fastboot and adb stuff is easy" lol...)
Let us know if you need any clarification on the process
Thanks guys, but I have been really busy lately I couldn't learn fastboot, but I think I know how, since my first root was manual using such a command prompt.
I'll reply once I do it and report.
Thank you all very much.

agreed!
if you are unsure at all about any commands or setup, always happy to lend a helping hand.
much easier to help out with steps beforehand, rather than try to figure out where something went wrong afterwards
Hello
I managed to flash TWRP successfully and then tried to install cm update from the system update available.
However there was an error and it didn't work.
Here is the recovery log, it said something about not finding an md5.
Any thoughts as to what is happening here?
