Reported Issues & Important Notes:

  • Note - You will find backups under '/mnt/shell/emulated' on your device.

  • Note - DO NOT FORMAT /DATA/ ON CWM! NOT YET SUPPORTED. You can make and restore backups, but you should not format it.

     



  • Issue - Wiping Cache will take longer than normal when making a new EXT4 filesystem for /cache/. Wait for it to finish and it will 'unfreeze' just fine.

How to Flash:
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED

fastboot flash recovery cwm6.0.3.6.img
Go directly into Recovery without booting first. When you choose to 'Reboot' after finishing up it will ask to disable the recovery flasher. Choose to disable it.
 
Alternate Flashing Method for Rooted Users:
UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER REQUIRED
-- Put cwm6.0.3.6.img on your internal storage, put it at the root of the folder. Ex: ~/sdcard/cwm6.0.3.6.img --

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/cwm6.0.3.6.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
exit
adb reboot recovery
 
 
Downloads:

Matt, does the Moto X support the following:

 

fastboot boot cwm6.0.3.6.img

 

Just curious as if it does you can temp boot CWM that way so you can flash root without overwriting stock recovery.
