Removing CWM Recovery from g2?

I installed CWM recovery on my G2 and it keeps booting up automatically and I don't like that when I charge it so I want to remove it. What's the best way to remove it or flash stock recovery without losing data? Thanks all!

Try selecting shut down via clockwork menu, it should power device down while still connected to ac

I really appreciate your help, but I kinda just want it off my phone completely as I have Autism and it bothers me a lot :\. I am very OCD about this kind of stuff and I just want my phone to turn completely off by itself. Thanks for all your help

Yeah, have the exact same error, I can't even calibrate my battery as it never shut down ...

On the sticky about how to revert back to stock there is the stock recovery image. Just flash that and your done. However i seem to recall the reboot thing being a know issue for the hboot? I might be totally wrong about that though. One other thing make sure your really rooted and true s off with the gfree method if you still want root and custom stuff.

I might be the only person who actually likes that it goes into recovery when plugged into usb and off. No stupid button combinations to remember. Personally the only time my phone is off is when it's dead. Otherwise it's 24/7 operation. To each his own though. I'm sure there is a guide on how to remove the recovery in the android development section.

Use this recovery. It is the stock eng-recovery. Its the stock recovery, but has adb enabled in it, just incase something goes wrong at somepoint it might be your window back in...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834627
Put it in your sdk folder, boot into fastboot, then use the fastboot cmd in that post.
@gunlance, I'm the same way, but we all have different ways of using our phones...

Where is the powerdown option??? Is it not there or am i blind?

There isn't one. You either have to stay with the phone powered on in Clockwork and charging, or flash back to the stock recovery (e.g. if you have fastboot/adb working, then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", where recovery.img is a stock recovery image from the stock ROM).

[Q] Stuck at google logo WHILE USING

Well, something strange happened and i have no idea what the prob is
yesterday i installed a new kernel for my gnex and made a backup (using CWM) before flashing. Today i decided to go back to the previous kernel so i just went to recovery and restored from the backup. It installed successfully and then i rebooted my phone twice just to be sure everything was working and it was untill 4-5 hours later, I was playing a game (temple run) when suddenly the phone turned off and restarted by itself, i though maybe the game crashed and its restarting but i kept waiting for an hour but the phone was just stuck at the google logo. After waiting, i decided to go to recovery and flash a new kernal or restore but when i went to the bootloader and selected recovery, the phone didnt go into recovery but its stuck in google loop again. so somehow i think the recovery has been deleted of something like that because it gets stuck in loop if i go to recovery :/
i am on 4.0.3 codenamed android rom
Thanks
EDIT: I have already tried removing the battery for some time but still i am not able to enter recovery. i thought recovery was to prevent such things :$

You should probably use search next time. It's happened to quite a few people (myself included).
Use fastboot/ODIN to flash stock rom again.

Thanks but i wont be able to recover my data using this right?:/

No I don't think so, it sucks. I thought they had fixed this bug in 4.0.3 though which is strange. I lost my data twice within a month because of this, when I was on 4.0.2 (or maybe 4.01). Haven't had it since I rooted and updated.

Try flashing the recovery again. Maybe it will work.

well i am on codenamed android based on 4.0.3 so i was looking for 4.0.3 files for ODIN. this will flash my firmware to stock 4.0.4 right?
And do you know of ANY WAY i can fix my phone so that i can recover my data? I have tried everything but to no avail. i have tried flashing recovery, booting recovery (not flashing) using different usb ports and cables, flashing boot.img from codename android and everything i read online :/

What happens when you boot CWM?
In order to recover anything, you need to be booted either into Android or CWM.
Maybe try using the "no-wipe" odin files, which may allow you to either boot into the ROM or allow you to boot CWM, and then you can retrieve your data. However, if this does work, I would recommend you wipe right after you retrieve your data, then restore your files, as you may have issues later on running with that data on your device.

I am not able to boot into recovery. When i select enter recovery from bootloader then it just loops on the google logo. When i try to reinstall cwm then it fails everytime with the error i mentioned above
ohh and btw, sometimes when the cwm installation fails then the bootloader gets stuck and the screen becomes kind of blurry and i have to take out the battery...... is that normal?
And i'll first try the no wipe files (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586807&highlight=odin) and see if that works

And i was on codenamed 4.0.3 so if i use the "no-wipe" files for 4.0.4 it should not cause anymore problems right?
I'll first use ODIN with no wipe files and if that doesnt work then i guess i'll say bye bye to my data and do a full wipe.
Thanks for you help mate and i will reply with the result in an hour or so (dinner time now )
Thanks again
EDIT:
so i ran ODIN but now its stuck. the start button has been greyed out with the following message

and the phone is on the ODIN download mode screen :/
EDIT 2:
when i use the full image, then the ODIN downloading screen on my nexus becomes blurry when ODIN on pc shows "<ID:0/011> NAND Write Start!! "

It may not be bricked. Not being able to get into the bootloader can happen when you flash via odin.
Can you not boot into download mode (hold volume down and then press and hold power)? If you can, then you can still flash via odin.
I haven't really used odin too much, so I won't be able to help you troubleshoot too much (maybe ask in Chainfire's thread), but: if you can boot into download mode, do it, and re-follow the instructions in this post to-the-letter. Use the full odin image, not the no-wipe one.

Take a slow deep breath and exhale. Take out the battery. Wait for a while. Put the battery back in.
Hold down the volume down button (not the volume up) and then press and hold power for 15 secs. See if that gets you into download mode. Even if nothing shows up on the screen, try following the steps in the odin thread.
You did make sure only the checkmarks that needed to be there were there in odin, correct?

Help, soft bricked my device.

I was attempting to unlock/root and long story short, now I have TWRP installed, and I can get to FASTBOOT but if i try to boot normally I get the Nexus logo, and no further. When I unlocked, I installed TWRP then loaded it. After leaving TWRP it said 'Seems you are not rooted, want to root"? or something to that effect. I clicked YES and now I'm stuck. Since I had just unlocked it, it *should* have reset my entire device(which was all stock anyway) so I am not sure what went wrong. I have been trying everything I know but I'm now out of ideas. Would appreciate any help. I see now that the version of SuperSu that it would have pushed would have been wrong, would that be preventing the tablet from booting?

If you can mount in fastboot you're not bricked. You tried to check md5 and push the recovery image again? And also try to throw new ROM on it.

It wont boot so I don't know how to put anything on it, it's empty and doesn't show up in windows. Also I don't know what you meant exactly by push the recovery image again. Twrp is working fine. Sorry I am hardly a pro at this stuff.

Then it should be possible to flash and push recovery and ROM to device even get a stock image back.

And did you flash any ROM or kernel?

I would suggest you just restore your N7 back to stock. No need for root yet, seriously! But this should help get you going in the right direction.
Power it off completely. Hold Power + Volume down until it boots into the bootloader. Run the following commands:
fastboot devices (to confirm you are connected)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you haven't unlocked your N7 yet, run fastboot oem unlock first.

I put TWRP on there, immediately after unlocking. So it should have been completely stock since as far as I know it wipes it when you unlock. After putting TWRP on there, i told it to reboot normally(from within TWRP) and it detected that I was not rooted and asked me if I wanted to install SuperSu. I said yes and now it will not boot to the operating system. It boots fine to Bootloader and Recovery. And I am certain it's connected to my PC because I can even tell it ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER/RECOVERY and that works. But I don't see how I can load a ROM onto it if I can't access it via windows. I don't know how to get a ROM onto the SD card. Surely there could be a way but I don't know it.

Start over by downloading recovery, Superuser and a clean stock rom image.
But before that you could try to reset all data in recovery (factory reset) and cache if you haven't tried.

Soft bricked

Hello everyone, today I installed TWRP recovery, it went fine and I am not new to install custom roms, custom recoveries, etc. but this got my phone messed up. It was working perfectly fine and then I turned it off in the night and in the morning, it just got stuck in a bootloop, and knowing me of course, I forgot to create a backup as I installed TWRp. So, is there any kind fellow out there that has a TWRP backup at hand for the ZE551ML?

Just to get the order correct...
Flashed TWRP - No problem
Rebooted to system - No problem
System worked?
Turned off phone
Bootloop on power on?
Is this a bootloop, or does it just sit on the Asus screen? Does it get to the actual boot animation, or are you on the splash screen?

I am getting to the boot animation with the gears turning and then error comes up and boots me into TWRP. The problem is, the Bootloader will not come up so I can do the fastboot flashing, TWRP comes up instead. It comes up and I didn't overwrite the bootloader with TWRP. Problem is I can't access fastboot commands.

Try flashing this in TWRP. You might need to sideload it onto your phone if you can't boot into system.

Thank you. But, it won't flash, I've tried about every option now. I think I'm just going to see if I can get a replacement. 2.19 was always causing me problems to install and then now that I finally got it on my phone, I couldn't install another 2.19 on top of it or downgrade. Guess this phone is done for until CM12 gets released. Thanks for the help but it seems it can't be recovered at this point.

I am stuck too!
I was in stock recovery and did a cache wipe. It took forever and wouldn't come out of it so i powered it off and tried booting. It got stuck on bootloop. phone is asus zenfone 2 Z00A. It is intel chipset. please help me out.
the worst part is that i cant get into fastboot or recovery modes so i am completely stuck! please help me out.
when i try to get into fastboot mode with vol up+ power key it vibrates but nothing is displayed.
if i just power it on its stuck on bootloop.
i can't get into recovery and fastboot bcoz its at the same place.
can i use adb commands or fastboot commands somehow?
i can maybe use adb reboot recovery to get into recovery and then i can do a wipe and flash new stuff.
please help me out.
UPDATE: I found out u can use adb reboot recovery while on the asus bootanimation.
i tried adb reboot recovery and now getting a flashing android sleeping bot with error!
can't use adb or fastboot commands now though
now in even bigger mess. after using adb reboot recovery, i can't get to bootanimation either.
just stuck at flashing android sleeping bot with error.
can't get to bootloader or fastboot or anything!
Please any suggestions. I'm dying here to fix it.
I have a adb backup.
i couldn't take a nandroid backup. i just entred recovery and wiped cache first. after doing that i was going to flash twrp and then using twrp take a nandroid backup and flash a custom rom. but it got stuck at cache wipe and i powered it off and the whole mess.:

Just a reminder to everyone, never force shutdown the Phone during a cache wipe procedure, it takes a long time but it finishes.
When I did it on my ZF2, I thought it was taking too long, but I did a search here and found out about it taking long before it was too late.
I'm glad you could recover yours. :good:

I shut mine down because it took too long. Wouldn't start up again. Had to send it in for RMA. Asus Canada reset the OS. I'll never do that again.

Dude you can never use adb when in bootloader.
That's why you have fastboot.
just type
fastboot devices
you will get your device.
if you don't then download intel drivers. You will get them in asus website.
if you are stuck without custom recovery i would suggest you to download system image (~1.5Gb) from asus website.
just search for asus zenfone 2 and go to official asus site. in downloads tab you should find both drivers and system image.
download the latest one.
See if you can get into stock recovery.
when in bootloader press vol down and go to recovery mode.
you will see a sleeping android bot with error.
press power key + vol down you will get a list.
choose factory reset and then after wipe is complete choose sideload from adb.
connect your phone and then in adb type
adb sideload filename.zip
obviously place file in your platform-tools folder and replace filename with whatever its name is.
it will take a while and you will get back your system.

It took a lot of time though.
For anyone stuck,
I first got fastboot working. and then i flashed stock recovery and boot.
got into stock recovery and sideloaded system img into it.
After it booted back into asus stock rom i unlocked bootloader, placed twrp in sdcard and got straight into fastboot again installed twrp and then did a wipe and went ahead and flashed ROM and Gapps. Working fine.
Update:
To get to bootloader:
i was stuck in a bootloop.
When at asus boot animation i connected USB cable and quickly typed
adb reboot bootloader
which seemed to work for me. Though i couldn't get into recovery.
So i had to flash stock recovery again.

Bootloop and corrupted recovery

So I got an adapter (Finally) for my nexus 5x. Went home and got the WugFresh nexus toolkit. Made a backup, and things were going fine, and then hit root and install twrp. It installed and booted into twrp, and it gave me the not rooted message and rooted me. I restored the backup. So I rebooted it, saw it was doing the boot animation, and came back this morning to it being dead (I had it plugged into my desktop, thought it wouldn't have lost more than 1% of battery when I woke up). I tried booting it up, and it was booting forever and I concluded was bootlooped. Now, when I try to boot into recovery, I get the little android guy dead with the red triangle on top of him. Please help, I'm 14 and don't really know what to do because all my previous rootings went fine. Thanks!

You are on stock recovery. Flash TWRP if you want custom recovery and flash/wipe, or use the factory images to go back to stock. Any experience with adb and fastboot? I'd recommend using fastboot so you have an idea of what's going on and understand how to fix your phone in the future.

I know fully well about adb and fastboot. I've rooted all my phones before this manually via them, and i just tried the toolkit because a friend referred it to me. Like i mentioned before i'm in a bootloop and i have no access to it in adb. It just doesn't get recognized.

Hold power + volume down till you boot into the bootloader. Flash away.

yeah when i try and boot into recovery is when i get the red triangle above the android guy. there is literally no recovery there. Otherwise, yeah i would flash the firmware

Help!!! My Nexus device is totally messed up. It has ______ problem. What do I do?? @ wugfresh.com since you're already using that toolkit.
if your pc/NRT doesn't recognize your phone check the drivers and consider reinstalling them (the toolkit apparently has an option for that as well). also try playing around with the rotation of your adapter/cable. yes, usb c is supposed to work both ways, but some (cheap) cables seems to have different properties depending on the rotation.

There is, its just the stock recovery. Go to the bootloader and flash TWRP using fastboot. If you have driver issues you might have to manually select the driver I normally have to the first time.
