recover-from-boot ...help!

[supahrob]

Ok - I am ready to flash right now, but everytime I reboot into recovery it goes to stock recovery. So I flash a new recovery. And it's all good... till I try to reboot into recovery again, and its stock. I tried CWM, TWRP - both only work for one boot.

So I did some searching. I found that some file called "recover-from-boot" something or another. It says I need to delete this file through root explorer. Well, luckily I bought that way back when, so I redownloaded it and tried and it says its a read only file - WAIT! Keep reading... So I DID try mounting as RW, but it still wont let me delete the file.

Can anyone help me? I want to flash right now - but I think this might cause me some issues... unless I can install gapps and such through stock recovery AFTER I flash - is that even possible through stock recovery?

I am ANXIOUSLY awaiting your assistance

Take care,
Rob

Happened to me to. Here's the info that helped me is in this thread: How long should a CWM backup take?

[supahrob]

Yeah, I used EZ Unlocker to unlock the bootloader. It said (out loud actually) "That was easy!"
I assume that meant it worked... how do I check?

Take care,
Rob

I'm not sure there is a way to check. I'm sure someone will happen by with better info.
