How do I remove ClockworkMod Recovery and restore the factory image?

[timbehnkendammit]

I have not been able to get ClockworkMod Recovery to work AT ALL. I can boot into it, but I cannot navigate while in recovery. The phone will go through the menus, but I cannot select anything with the hardware buttons. Also, I'm stuck in the bootloop from attempting to install Quattrimus, and I'm just sick of this nonsense. This has been a headache and I just want to be done with it.

What version of clock work mod?

The CWM version is 5.0.2.7, and the camera button does nothing but reload the menu. None of my hardware buttons function as a 'select' button. If you are privy to a mmethod to replace CWM via usb, I'm all ears.

use ADB. it comes with the android SDK or you can Google up some zip package with it.
there's instructions elsewhere how to install and use ADB.
the specific thing you need is an .img file of another recovery.
rename it recovery.img and then

adb push recovery.img /cache
adb shell
flash_image boot /cache/recovery.img
exit
adb reboot

I suggest flashing the new recovery to the boot partition instead of recovery partition because without a working ROM, a bad recovery flash can brick your phone and make you use sammyz method from the stickies to fix it.
once you use the temporary recovery to flash a usable ROM, you can use ADB while booted into the ROM to flash a recovery you like better.
just change "boot" in the flash_image line to "recovery"

I think you're using a bad version of clockwork that I used once. The camera button actually can be used two different ways. When you push it halfway down it reloads the page but when you push it the last bit it selects. You have to push it down halfway and then just click the final bit after you selected the option you want to use and make sure you don't let it go all the way up. Also you might have to push the volume down button a whole ton in a row to start with till it says something about a function being added.

I did all of the steps and flashed the recovery img but it still will only boot in clockworkmod recovery v3.2.0.0.
Any other idea how I can get out of this loop or remove clockworkmod..Exitrecovery.zip didn?t work for me.

Just reflash over it with a newer recovery. Personally I'd push out a recovery image of TeamWins Recovery Project onto the phone.
