Root [GUIDE] Missing Recovery in CM 10

[FluffyFox]

Ok , many of you have been asking why your recoveries aren't showing after you flash a ROM. Well here's how to fix it.

1. (Starting from stock) Download 2nd-init recovery (This will be the only time you use this)
2. Flash your favorite ROM.
3. Once that is done, uninstall 2nd-Init recovery

Note: DO NOT USE 2ND - INIT RECOVERY IN A CUSTOM ROM. MOST ROMS COME WITH A RECOVERY. IF YOU USE 2ND - INIT, YOU WILL HAVE TO UNBRICK AND RE FLASH YOUR ROM TO BE ABLE TO USE THE ROMS RECOVERY

IF YOU USE THE BUILT IN RECOVERY AND YOU GET MORNING CALL ERROR, THEN YOU USED 2nd init.

4. go download Titanium Backup from the Play Store.

5. In Titanium Backup Go to menu (3 lines) > Clean up Dalvik cache.

Then Hold Power > Reboot > Recovery

And it should work fine :3. Just hit the Volume up to refresh the lg start up :3

If you just install 2nd init by moving it into the system when on stock rather than like a normal app you're fine and shouldn't have to worry about all of this.. I think what's happening is people are either installing upon flashing the rom cause they didn't read or know or they're restoring data and it's re applying it because it was originally installed as a regular app. I always install it into the system every time I've switched firmwares or any time on stock and I've never had a recovery issue on any of the roms.. (except my very first venture when I didn't read that it was already installed). It's definitely a user related issue though..

To an extent... His is trying to explain more about coming from stock.. Yours is more about after you're on cm.. At any rate here's my guide to this... Install it into the system on stock, flash your rom, make a sandwich, go shopping, get out of the house have some fun. If you need to get into recovery press the power menu..
