    I am getting ready to send my Elite back to VMU and I would like to remove CWM first. I don't seem to have install-recovery.sh in my nandroid for some reason. If anyone has a stock rooted Z4 device can you please look in /system/etc/ for the file? Or if you have a stock nandroid with the file (even the .bak) I will take that.

    Settings -> About Phone -> Scroll down to baseband version: VM696ZV#-blahbity-blahbity. (Also Build Number and Software version should also say ZV4 or 5)

    If you got an Elite and then got the OTA update from VMU you had a ZV4 device that is now ZV5 but should still have the install-recovery.sh unless you've flashed a custom ROM.

    PM me your email and I can email you the file. I have mine backed up from ZV5 if that works.

    Could use the stock zv5 image also. Never knew I had to back it up to start with. Is there a sticky posted somewhere on this for people who are new to flashing like me so the next handful of people don't wipe their stock recovery img? Thanks.

    It did not work for me. Once I restored the file and rebooted the CWM recovery stayed.

    It's only a theory, but I'm assuming someone could copy /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 (partition 14) via the terminal/ADB, and you could format the partition and copy over/overwrite the recovery partition's data with what was copied from a ZV4 or ZV5 firmware device prior to them installing CWM.

    Thanks. Looks like ill wait to restore phone to stock. I guess a custom/ custom stock recovery is in order. Whew cmw is more permanent than I thought.
