Ok so I got help a few hours on here about my recovery not working. Im trying to but clockwork 3. On my phone by using a youtube video. It tells me to download the clockwork 3 and put it in my root of my sdcard. Then go to terminal app type in
su
Flash_image recovery /sdcard/clockwork.img
Everytime I do that, it says" flash_image not found".
Is their another way to put clockwork 3 on my phone so I can put CM7 on it. Plz help and thanks

You have to navigate your cmd window to the same directory that you have the flash_image file in...

Any of us who have installed ROM Manager from the market have gone through some real pain trying to recover from using its recovery. Until it is verified as fully functional by one of this forum's top devs, do not install it! It's not ready for prime time.
Instead, use krylon360's outstanding CWM Recovery here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374. Follow the directions in the OP carefully.
Also, check mad_fitter's great thread on steps needed to flash on this phone. Step 12 addresses what happens if you try and flash using ROM Manager's recovery (ODIN):

I see that contributing members are still having these issues and hope to help drive the point home. ROM Manager will be great when it works for our device, but right now it doesn't.

I was able to use ROM manager on my device. The only thing that CWM doesn't seem to do is:
(might need to remount system as r/w)
// change permission on recovery binary so we can replace it
su
cd /system/bin
chmod 777 recovery
exit
exit
// push new recovery binary
adb push recovery /system/bin
Once this is performed the CWM from ROM manager works fine.
I just did my co-worker's SGS4G and can confirm this.

Hmmm. Can you send this to koush
I had to use recovery file from krylon360's CWM Recovery to make my ROM manager work. It works fine for me.
But of late it gets stuck while recovering on the .andriod_secure folder. Which i think is the last step on the recovery.
No big deal, just pull the battery out and power the phone back on and everything is back to normal.
Yeah that last part it hangs on isn't a big deal. I believe that is where the apps2sd apps are stored and it's not a big deal of that isn't wiped.
Anytime you wipe it's gonna hang as well as any time you do a restore. It will hang while restoring that same dir but once you get to that point system and data have already been restored so you can just pull the battery and reboot from recovery.

How do i Adb install cwm recovery from adb when I can only adb thru stock recovery. I jacked my phone up so when the stock rom is booted I can't do anything.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
Or is there a way to put the phone into debugging mode when the GUI is useless. All I have is a black screen after boot

You can use the script from mustang9438 to push the modded recovery binary to get you into CWM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1206783
If that doesn't work, you'll have to use Odin to restore to stock, then add in CWM from there.
I don't have a windows pc. I took the phone back and am rerooted. Now I am curious about a way to install cwm via adb. Is it even possible? Unless sombody that knows a script for linux users

download the recovery binary from Krylon's post and the CWM update.zip,
adb push recovery /data/local/tmp/
adb shell
su (and accept root request on phone)
cp /data/local/tmp/recovery /system/bin/
chmod 755 /system/bin/recovery
exit
exit
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
adb reboot recovery
thank you. i softbricked the phone. i cant use odin. so i am going to use heimdall. wish me luck
Best of luck kid, best of luck (hope you get the reference)
If you're not familiar with heimdall, simply extract the full stock tarball and use the options under flash to add in each part.
Im back in buisness! Thx!
SGH-T839 getting started.
Glad it worked for you.
My I9020T has been updated to 4.0.3 ICS using recovery mode.
And I found that now when I tried to enter recovery mode again, I will get a red question mark not the yellow one. Anyone has the same problem?
No other ROMs installed, no rooted....
Yes I have the same problems and I can't root it or go back to ginger.I hope that someone have a solution for us

First download this :http://www.4shared.com/zip/XG506hyV/icsroot-fastboot-recovey.html
Just unpack and click run.bat....very easy....
After that you need : remove install-recovery.sh just in .....
run in windows-> Start->at the search bar write cmd and navigate into your android sdk is installed
For me :
C:/"Programs and Files (x86)"/Android/android-sdk/tools/>adb shell
# rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
#exit
or with Root Explorer into system/etc/install-recovery.sh just renam it (ex. : .sh.old)
Thx I will try it tomorrow

i have a Samsung Exhibit 4g phone, rooted and backed up by titanium backup. I tried using the kitchen theme stuff, and i copied the original framework-res.apk file to a folder in the sd card . Then i copied the framework-res.apk file from the UOT zip to the location where the original file was and rebooted the phone. Now my phone is stuck at the Samsung logo screen and it keeps looping. anyway to fix this? :/
P.S: the location i copied the original file doesnt show up in the recovery menu when i go to install package. Also, when i tried the downloading mode, it just says downloading and doesnt do anything. Tried factory restore too. The original file is somewhere on the sd card i just dont know how to access it and put it back into its original location.... no i dont have a copy of it on my computer.
Follow this guide
If you are in a loop, you have to manage this fast or else it will just reboot again, i suggest a copy and paste function for the third command. also I don't know for sure whether /dev/block/st19 is your /system partition, but i'll try.
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/st19 /system
Code:
exit
Code:
adb push /pathtoyour"ORIGINAL"frameworkres /system/framework
PS, Do this within 15-20 seconds. (You will have multiple attempts as you can do it after every loop)
once you are done, just hard reboot your phone(using power button)
Also you do this in a terminal/cmd window with your phone plugged in.
wait

Then install the Samsung composite drivers. Google them.
Then retry the process.
I can guaranty that it will work.
