[RECOVERY][3-2-12]Clockwork Mod Recovery

So I spent the weekend working on some things, and one of them was trying to get CWM fixed up. I believe that I have all of the problems fixed, but I can only do so much testing on my own. The button mappings work, and I have been using this and similar versions (bugfixes and such added since then) for about a week now. I completely removed backup/restore as my attempt to get it to work properly didn't work, so I'm guessing something else is wrong with it than what I initially found and reported to Koush. I will try to keep this updated as updates come out for CWM as well. Flash with Odin/Heimdall

Flashing Tips
Use the rear USB Ports on your computer if possible, and without a USB extension cable.
When in Download mode with the battery out, put the battery back in and uncheck Auto-Reboot in Odin. When done flashing, remove the battery and USB cable, put the battery back in and reboot - credit to jami2976

If anyone would like to try it out and see if there are any more problems, please download and flash with Odin. The button mappings work, and I have been using it for a day and flashing things and that works as well. I have not tested out backup/restore, though I did find an issue that may have been causing the problem and put in a fix, so I'm hoping that it works as well. If all goes well, we can start using this full time, or go back and look for anything else that may be causing problems.

Ill test it. But first, did the people who bricked their phone ever find a way to unbrick it after trying a cwm restore?

Some have and some haven't. People that are having issues can't flash the package that I put together for the fix, but others have flashed it without issue.
One thing that may also be "broken" is data wipe in CWM, as it may get stuck on deleting /sdcard/.android_secure and I'm looking for why it's doing it and how to fix it.

My data wipe is good. I'm still trying to grow a pair and backup and restore lol

I was never able to get it to flash the packages unfortunately. It seems hit and miss, works for some, and not others.

Imnuts can we install this CWM any other way than Odin? I have been trying to get the Voodoo Kernel and CWM-2 installed but its an either or situation. If I install Voodoo kernel then CWM, I get a soft brick even though CWM says it passed.

You can flash with Heimdall as well, just extract and put recovery.bin in the proper place.

Well it doesnt work lol
1. it backsups fine it seems.
2. During restore it said it couldnt mount system but hey it formatted it
3. seemed to flash a rom but everytime i reboot it goes into cwm.
4. I was able to odin fine

nevermind im stuck in recovery now. Can i restore with odin even tho i have the voodoo lagfix enabled before cwr bricked my phone?

i got voodoo sound. what im noticing is it says its starting and finishes in seconds then back to brick

Thanks for being the first one to test the waters....
Can someone else verify that it indeed is malfunctioning on restore?

anyone have a pit file or have been able to fix a bricked phone. Im desperate.

thank you i hope that works. im dying

You can flash ANY Odin file to your phone regardless of what you were on and what you are flashing as long as you aren't flashing a kernel that does not understand EXT4 to your phone and you had lagfix enabled. If you are flashing a non-voodoo kernel (or one that doesn't understand ext4) make sure you are also flashing /system, /data, /cache, and /dbdata so that they get wiped out.

well my problem is i had lagfixed enabled. I flashed your cwr and i knew the risk. Know im stuck with the same problem as everyone else. lol so how do i disable lagfix? i can only get into download mode and the ed1 cwr fix isnt flashing. I still have lagfix since i never disabled before trying restoring. My backup was a rom that had the lagfix.

Thank you im fixed

EP1Q-Issues

Anyone download P3Droid's EP1Q leak and Odin and then boot loop to Samsung screen. I can't get it to work?

Same thing happened to me. I'm going to ODIN back to factory and then try and see if that works. What were you coming from? I was coming from Gummy ee4

I am coming from Gummy GBE 1.8 EP1F/H.
I am going to try and re-odin Gummy 1.8.

Let me know if that works. I was thinking about going to that anyways. Thanks

Same here, odin'd from gummy froyo.
Bootloop,
flashed EP1H
then
Flashed the EP1Q again
Bootloop

Going back to Gummy 1.8 GBE fixed it ok for me....have to wait for Kejar to get his hands on it and figure out what P3Droid did.....

Wipe your DATA...

I did wipe after I odined because it booted me into recovery but typically you don't need to wipe after a leak Odin because it formats everything? Can anyone confirm they are up and running on the P3Special Odin file?

I have been looking for it but can't find it.

It's apparently only available on the TBH app at the moment. I don't use Paypal so I can't say with any authority.

Yeah you can only get it with his app.

What a load of crap...charging for leaks indirectly. Release the damn ROM, TBH! Shame.

Only p3 would release a leak that doesnt even boot. Such a joke.

So is it still not booting?

imnuts figured out some boot files weren't included and when put into the package make it boot correctly.. check out his twitter
blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G

Success
I've tried all of the following and was finally able to get it to boot:
Tried: odin(norepart,nopit,noautoreboot) NON SPECIAL from existing chargeGBE-1.8
Result: booted to cwm-4.0.0.4, factory reset, splash ep1q spash, then splash loop
Tried: odin(repart,pit,noautoreboot) revert to ed1, then odin(noautoreboot) to ep1q NON SPECIAL
Result: FAIL, could not mount stl11
Tried: odin(repart,pit,noautoreboot) revert to ed1 stock, odin(noautoreboot) to ep1h, odin(noautoreboot) to ep1q NON SPECIAL
Result: booted into into 3e recovery, selected reboot, am now @ stock EP1Q.
update:
flashed latest cwm recovery via odin, and proceeded to manuall convert rfs to ext4 via (tar -cvpf /sdcard/ep1q_{system,dbdata,data,cache}, etc....), am now on ext4 w/ EP1Q.

I just posted a seperate thread noting that I've tried different ways to get my phone back up. I can not either. Subscribing looking for a fix.
I only downloaded the debloated version, not the full version for EP1Q, unable to try that fix at the moment.

ive tried it. bootloops. odin back to ee4. tried it. bootloops. odin to leak EP1F. tried it. now CWR doesnt load up and theres a whole ish bout sd card not found. and yes ive data wipe multiple times. did it all for giggles and kicks to cover all bases just so you know. anyhow. back to stable ee4 for me.

Does the EP1Q leak have changes to the radio as well?

when did u reboot?

Hi did you just flash one after other without rebooting in between?

[Q] Errors-Installing stock ROM

Alrite, my phone is ****ing stuck on bootloop, while installing Stock ROM. I install'd stock rom via Odin, After flashing i completed and it says 'Close the serial port and wait until reboot'. So i waited until reboot and after GT-S5670 it show'd me the clockwork mod screen loading something i only remember the last line "E:/can't mount/system.Reboot" (something like that) and voila it's stuck in bootloop of bloody samsung logo. I tried 2 stock roms, DDKT3 and DXKT7, same result on both the ROMS.
Any idea?
And i've also tried replacing cwm version with diff. one. (Same results)
EDIT: I'm sorry but I DON'T KNOW HOW, it fixed it self. After 10 minutes, i started my phone and thought to install custom ROM. CWM was gone and samsung official recovery was there. So i restarted my phone, and it was fixed. But i'm still wondering that i got that message ("E:/can't mount/system.Reboot") like 3 times after every flash of stock ROM done through ODIN at first 2 flashes done (DDKT3) was useless and showed that error and also after the 3rd flash (DXKT7) but after some time , it fixed it self. Still thinking why and how?
EDIT2: Mods can delete this thread if they feel like it's useless. :/

And this is what t i guess:
-You use a custom rom
-Now you flash an stock rom
I think it because your DATA partition is EXT4, stock rom doesnt support EXT4. And in DDKT3,DXKT7 has no data.rfs so DATA partition doesnt convert to RFS
As you said above, Go to stock Recovery and do a wipe/reset Data format DATA partition to RFS

Need Help Fixing Someone's Cappy

Ok so yesterday I received a cappy from someone on here that I told them I would try and fix. I am not charging them anything and am actually paying shipping back to them. When I received it and turned it on it was stuck at the end of the cornkernel bootlogo. I thought hey this will be easy and flashed the heimdall version of I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click. Phone rebooted and is now stuck at the att logo. So I flash cornkernel, its stuck at the end of cornkernel bootup. So I decided on a whim to try and flash this kernel Devil3_1.1.3_HB_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807, luckily that got me into recovery, so I did a full backup of all the stuff on his internal storage and completely wiped the phone, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, format system, format sdcard, format cache, format data, format datadata (yes I know I wiped some things twice) . Then I flashed my rom, it just reboots to recovery after the flash, still reboots after a reflash of the rom. I then wiped everything again and tried flashing CM9's latest nightly to see if I could get it to boot up. Still reboots to recovery. So far all together I have flashed I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears, i897uckk4 Odin One Click CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe, I897UCKF1_withBL,SGH-I897_I897UCKJ3, KK4-SE-One-Click, JF6 With Bootloaders, SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click Followed By I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click both are heimdall. All of those either left it stuck at att or kernel screen after I flashed a kernel. Anyone got any ideas? I am almost to my wits end.

Try the Odin version of this... Stock KK4 one click...it will do ya a full wipe and repartition for sure.

You should try the Rogers stock gingerbread with boot loaders. Worked for me when I was using the AT&T and not getting past recovery...

Thanks for the idea. It didn't work tho. I am still at the same spot, phone keeps rebooting to recovery.

have to wonder,,has the phone had the EU bug? might try flashing the rom with datadata ( I believe thats it) on the external sd

Not that I know of, It isn't my phone so I do not know the history other than him saying it didn't boot past the kernel screen and receiving it and seeing that and then what I have done. Normally the sd card data from what I have seen is wiped when the eu bug happens from what I have read, maybe I am wrong, but since I backed up his data off the sdcard that is why I do not believe it has had the eu bug.

Anyone have any more ideas, I tried the EU Bug Instructions @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&page=85 Replacing the vold.fstab in the rom and also flashing it with CWM without luck. I am still stuck with it rebooting to recovery. I am still waiting on him to tell me his address again so I can mail it back to him since at this point I am lost. I told him MobileTechVideos would more than likely be his best shot at getting it fixed though.

Long story short, recovery is iffy at best for me. I went through something similar to this when trying to go from CM10 back to CM9 for the first time. Ever since then recovery has not been right.
What I did was
Install a stock one-click with bootloaders, used odin to flash speedmod kernel and then used that recovery to flash CM9 in three successions wiping everything each time. Somehow it took, and now I am no longer a crack flasher because I have the same kernel splash screen problem every time.
So,
Use this http://www.mediafire.com/?5rcofbzusoor6mv
PDA button in Odin3 1.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=566807&d=1302623831
Boot into recovery.
Flash your ROM
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Try to boot normally.

Thanks for the idea, but it's a no go, Phone just stops at Galaxy S SGH-I897 Kernel Screen. I can't even get to recovery. Only way I have got to recovery with this phone was flashing an ICS kernel.

There is a place that has rogers stock roms

I know you said you tried rogers stock roms but try the one-clicks for some reason they have always saved me. It will re-install everything and you will be on stock recovery if it works but from there its easy to get CWM and your on your way

I have already tried all three of the Rogers One Clicks with none of them actually doing anything more than the Captivate One Clicks, It still doesn't boot past the first screen. Thanks for the input though.

You've been using a one click with 2.3.3 bootloaders, they're are 2.3.5 bootloaders available that have solved certain peoples sleepdeath issues, including mine. I've done this procedure on several captivates to take them from mangled and non-bootable to latest bootloaders and working recovery to flash whatever rom I need to from there on.
Use this one click that includes the 2.3.5 bootloaders - http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/i897uckk4 with latest BL.zip
After that goes through and you have stock gingerbead, use this odin package to flash the included devil kernel package, that will give you the latest CWM recovery
http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/uckk4 CWM recovery.zip
After that, if you still can't boot into recovery, you have a hardware issue
edit: looks like you already did this more or less.......try it once more in this order? Then once you do this and boot into recovery, flash a rom and see if it will work

I'm going to do your steps again which is more or less what I have already done. I am waiting to hear back from the person so I can ship him the phone back and he can send it to MTV or someone or just junk it, its his phone and his choice. At this point I would say it needs Jtag or Unbrickable mod + repair. Although I am still trying ideas of mine and anyone elses lol.
EDIT: Still A No Go. Doesn't Boot Past ATT Screen After Flashing The Odin 1 Click, After Flashing Kernel then wiping and flashing rom, it just reboots to recovery

Well if the one clicks are successfully writing primary and secondary bootloaders and it's still not working, a jtag isn't going to do anything else. It almost sounds like the memory has a few corrupt blocks, but I can't say until you flash 2.3.5 BL's and see what happens

3e recovery doesn'twork?

Hey guys, thanks for reading. Here's my issue. My samsung Infuse has root. I put the 3e recovery file in the system-bin as supposed to I have flashed CWM via rom manager Problem is, when I reboot into recovery, there is no reinstall packages. only reboot, install update and wipe/format options. Also, I get the failed signature errors no matter what I do or how many 3e recoveries i try to download and use, it is constantly the same issue..... any ideas? I have followed the procedure to do this down to the letter

are you on gb? the 3e mod doesn't work on gb because the recovery file is in the initramfs. when you see it in the file system that is just where it is mounted but it is actually being held in ram so when you shutdown it is no longer there, instead a new copy of it is loaded into ram from the kernel image. the actual binary is inside the initramfs files that are compressed in the kernel zImage and not accessible with the normal file managers, the only way to change recovery is to edit the kernel zImage files and flash it to the phone. that's not a task for anyone which is why we have odin and heimdall flashable kernels that skip right to cwm recovery. the 3e methods are for froyo only.
i will note that if you have root you can flash a cwm kernel with sgs kernel flasher but the only gb version that can be rooted is rogers stock and needs a version of superoneclick with the zerg rush exploit which uses a usb cord anyway so there is no reason not to use odin or heimdall unless you have already done the rooting.

Ok, thanks for explaining that to me, I've been at this for a couple days now. Yes I am on 2.3.6 is there a way to flash a jelly bean or ICS rom through odin? I have odin and understand it a bit more than heimdall.... where might I find a couple? I'm used to being able to throw a rom on the sd card and away we go!!!!!
I did however download and install a pre-rooted GB for the infuse but no CWM.... so where can I find a odin flashable JB or ICS?
Thanks!!!!!

Actually, my neanderthal mind finally figured out after flashing the pda in odin that the phone was not going to finish restarting on it's own and that I had to boot into recovery and then flash whichever rom I choose from there THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

to get to jb. flash cm9 first.
you may have to do it twice with a factory reset and format system, cache, data in between the first and second flash.
then you can flash jb

i think there is a ics odin package but i never used it. jelly bean is different for the infuse because it is mtd. i don't think odin is capable of flashing mtd roms and if it is the packages would be very different... as similar as ics and jb are they couldn't fit the system files on with jb and had to move over to mtd partitioning. ics was able to fit on the bml partition that existed so it hasn't been converted over.
