Root Read this you are stuck in CWM because your phone took the V6 update

[Syed Murtuza Ali]

Is it really important to take a nandroid backup. I wanna know coz I have erased my data in the recovery as it was booting everytime in the recovery. SO please guide me as soon as possible.

It's not important that you do a backup, but if you wiped data, then you lost all your system setting.

I've seen enough people posting about it, that this is now getting it's own thread. Here's the base information. Many people are reporting their either they tried to take the V6 update and are now stuck in CWM or their phone auto took the update and now they are stuck in CWM. Here are the fixes for your issues.

DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS: DOING SO WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE

Situation 1:
You're in CWM, but it is NOT the touch version and you are on V4 pure stock (absolutely no missing or removed files).
Fix:
Find a way to get this file to your memory card on your phone:
http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/cwm_touch/cwm_bootloop_fix.zip
Apply the zip update and reboot your phone. If you did it correctly, you will boot into the Android OS. Next, use MT's all in one package to install the Touch version of CWM recovery.

Leave the all in one program open.
Place this file on your SD Card:
http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/v4_stock/stock_recovery_restorer.zip
Now use the all-in-one package to reboot your phone into recovery. If all you get is a blank screen on reboot, turn off your phone and wait a while as your phone is too hot. Reboot later and try again.
Once back in CWM Touch recovery, do a nandroid back. Finally, apply the
boot loop fix zip file and then the stock recovery restorer zip file. You now no longer have CWM recovery on your phone. If you are positive that you are one pure V4 stock, reboot your phone and take the update.


Situation 2:
You're in CWM Touch, and are positive you are on V4 stock with absolutely no modified or missing system files.
Fix:
Find a way to get this file to your memory card on your phone:
http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/cwm_touch/cwm_bootloop_fix.zip
Apply the zip update. Before rebooting, do a nandroid backup. Now, find a way to get this file to your memory card:
http://androidfiles.massivefilehost.com/v4_stock/stock_recovery_restorer.zip
Apply the zip file. You are now back at pure stock. Reboot into android and accept the V6 update.

Situation 3:
You are on a custom rom (or you modified/removed stock system files)and don't want the V6 update yet, but are stuck in CWM recovery.
Fix: Grab these two files and place them on your memory card.

Apply both update zips and reboot your phone. Enjoy having android and no chance of it auto-updating on you.
