Sup!! I recently went back to the stock rom cuz I wanted to rock the ICS look for a while and I'm using Moddedunsecure kernel. Anyways for some reason when I choose reboot system in touch recovery(6.0.3.3) it takes me to a menu that says "rom may flash stock recovery on boot THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE" then i have the options of - no, - yes disable recovery flash, and - go back. No matter which one I choose (including - go back) my phone reboots. I'm just curious as to why it's doing that any. info would be appreciated :)
 
Strange... Don't know why that's happening, but you can try flashing touch recovery again and see if that helps.

I'm also getting that message even after reflashing touch recovery, I can't recall when it started doing it, but sometimes after I flashed samurai ROM.

Yeah i think ill go ahead and give that a try. Another weird thing i noticed when i went back to stock rom is my root apps aren't asking for superuser permission. They work and everything but superuser isn't. The log is just blank lol i switched to supersu and it works just fine. !

Did you restore a backup of stock rom or did you flash the stock rom that is posted around here somewhere?

Glad I'm not the only one xD well it has happened to me before but it went away. Don't remember what I did differently that got rid of it. But now it's back! Lol
 
No luck with reflashing the recovery. Still getting the message. I saw a thread on xda about it and they said to choose yes but it's not working xD

Lol I will. I just don't like when things change on me out of nowhere cuz it'll be in the back of my head all day until I go crazy and have to get admitted. lol. but yeah it still totally works and everything. I'm just gonna have to accept it move past it and go lol
 
If you just press the back key till it reboots, it works as it should.
you do not need to make a selection when cwm offers it.
 
I connected my phone to my computer with usb debugging on and ever since then the message stopped coming up after selecting reboot!
 
some stock roms run a init script to prevent tampering. so when you boot it will install the stock recovery again


just remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and you can keep your custom recovery. you will have to fastboot flash it again though since you booted the device to delete the script.

All I would do is update the new CWM by PG ;)

Thanks for this!!! :D:D:D (currently running Validus 5-RC2 unified moto-msm8960 KK on Atrix HD)

correction
see post #359 on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564418&page=36

I have made notes in post #348 and #354 where i made mention of:

I got that old message when rebooting from recovery - "rom may flash stock recovery on boot" I replied "no". It kept asking me on every pass through recovery. If you reply "yes" you will lose root - at least I did.

edit:
solution:
boot to recovery and backup!!!
boot to system and:
remove /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
this will lose you root after reboot... So...IMMEDIATELY...

boot to recovery and flash zip: "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip" (attachment)
