CWM: A thread of its own

OK, it goes without saying that to do rooting and flashing you need to have at least a basic understanding of the English language, a decent IQ and the ability to follow basic instructions.
However, with the CWM mod that's out there for this phone, there are dangers in trying to use for anything other than flashing. IMO, the problem is that those discussions are getting buried in long threads that were originally meant for other Subjects. I feel that CWM needs to have a thread of its on to benefit EVERYONE, especially the newbies. So I am starting it off with this simple instruction:
DO NOT TRY TO USE A ROM MANAGER AT THIS TIME! THE DEVS WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN YOU CAN USE IT
ALSO; DO NOT USE CWM TO RESTORE AT THIS TIME YOU WILL BE BRICKED
#2 IF YOU WANT TO GET INTO CWM FROM START-UP TO FLASH A ROM - HOLD DOWN THE VOL UP BUTTON + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON, WHEN YOU SEE THE SAMSUNG LOGO, RELEASE THE POWER BUTTON.
TO END THE CONSTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE "GO BACK" MENU OPTION: SCROLL COMPLETELY THROUGH ALL MENU OPTIONS TWICE, THE GO BACK OPEN WILL THEN APPEAR
I ask the devs to post info. here even if it has been posted in one of the threads.
Forum Management FTW!

If one of the devs could throw up the file to flash CWM and the instructions, that might be helfpful as well.

Restoring currently has a bug that bootloops a device.
It should be noted that currently there is no go back option either. To enable this scroll through the menu 3x and select an option, go back will now appear.

AfaIk thats correct. No one has reported a successful restore. People who have tried end up in stock recovery loop. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution for these folks soon.

Huh?? So if you try a recovery it bricks your phone???? or are you still able to get into recovery and reinstall a ROM?
If your are unable to get into recovery can you at least restore and Odin?

Not sure an odin restore is helping people.
I have a theory on a way to fix a stock recovery bootloop but that would require a bootlooped device which I'm not willing to do...

I have found pressing the vol up and vol down at the same time enables the "go back" option. It will state that it is enabled.
It will pop up when you select another option first.

On the Fascinate when you flashed CWM, Stock recovery would come up the first boot, then you would flash an update.zip that took you to CWM and you could flash a compatible kernel and you were on your way no more stock recovery. I don't know if something like this could work to get ppl unlooped or not, just throwing it out there.
And ShotgunSam you might as well add don't restore w/ CWM in your big red warning.

Well, I'm already stuck there, if your idea isn't too complex, I can try it out

I have one that was bricked for this reason. If anyone has any ideas I will test them out. I am good with adb shell and have been trying to figure out how to change the bootmode=7 which I think is the sdcard to 6 which I think is the nand. Can't find where the file is in the system because I can't boot. Or a signed update zip that boots Android of the sdcard like the hd2 might work.

Go to the epic 4g forums and in development you'll find a thread that contains an update.zip that will use cwm 3.0.2.x. adb push that update to your sd card or just transfer it. Flash jts cwm compatible kernel through odin then try applying the update.zip.
Just a theory. If cwm boots, you can then flash a rom and that may work.

Thanks OP for this tread. I agree 100%.
1) I think some "bootloopers" have had success entering download mode when their SD card was pulled.
2) Have any brickers/bootloopers tried the JIG method to force download mode?

3) Also, I *think* someone who had bootloops was able to clear his data/cache folder somehow/someway. And I *think* he was either able to stop the bootloops or at least get into download mode. But maybe I am thinking of something else here.

Would empty cache/dbdata/movinand.bin files be helpful for Odin? We could rip them out of one of the Fascinate Odin packages to be included with a "Restore to stock" Odin package. Based on the error I've seen of someone that tried to restore, it looks like /data is getting FUBARd and that's causing the problem, but it's not something I want to personally test since my phone is working.

Anyone having issues after a restore, please see if you have adb shell access. If so, please grab a logcat and post it here.

Rooting OTA Gingerbread

Hey everyone im kinda new to the forums.. Anyways i just downloaded GB 2.3.3 the other day. Well after that i realized my phone wasnt rooted anymore. So i updated simpleoneclick and it wouldnt work. Anyone had any success rooting their g2x after the update?

Another person with a broken search button. Need to get that fixed.
At the present time, there is no root for the GB update. There is a way to root GB but it required going back to 2.2.2 and then loading a custom GB rom.

Ya mine has been broken for awhile.. Ive been trying to fix it but no luck.. Anyways any idea if theyre working on a root for it, and if so how long do you think itll take?

Apparently, you can flash with CMW Recovery without being rooted, and also make nandroids and restore them. You will not be able to use apps that require root like titanium backup.

Yes - flashing it has rooted your phone. I am somewhat surprised by this however. I would have thought rooting was done at a deeper level then anything in a ROM, but apparently that is not the case.
Good news is whatever the case, it works.

Recovery has nothing to do with the rooted status of your phone. Nvflash and cwm work no matter what.

Having an unlocked/unencrypted bootloader gives us G2X owners a LOT of flexibility with what can be done with our phones in terms of customization. Its one of the main reasons I couldn't wait for this phone to be released.

im sorry for the noob questions but could you elaborate on the steps you took to do this? Im having no luck figuring out so far.
Or if anyone else could explain the process.
I downloaded cwm but it says my phone needs to be rooted just to use it. So im stuck because im with 2.3.3 which isnt rooted. I just wanna go back to 2.2 so i can have root agian or so i can download custom 2.3.3 roms which are rooted already.

is flashing the rooted rom would root my phone perma or it would be unroot after flashing anything over that rooted rom?

you need one click reovery to flash the cwm with nvflash

[q] do not use rom manager - help!

I read the posts, but maybe I did not understand?
I downloaded CWM and installed via the Android Market. Then I see the icon is named ROM Manager (whoops, is this already bad). I hit the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" button. Then I used up/down volume and power to boot into CWM and did a backup from there.
So am I screwed?
Is the backup good?
Can I use the CWM that I have as long as I boot into it?
Please, I have not been able to understand exactly what the "DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER" means. If I just boot is that ok?
I guess you can tell I'm new but I have a lot of software experience - just not in this environment - maybe I'm moving too fast for my knowledge (I think so now!).

As you can see, CWM is included in the kernel you flash, and thus there is no need for ROM manager. It doesn't play nice with this device anyway, and is just unnecessary imo.

So the OP is fine if he uninstalls Rom Manger even though he used it to flash CWM Recover? That seems a lot simpler then the cwm injected kernal method I just did.
Install rom manger, flash CWM, uninstall rom manger... flash roms all day. Would that work?

ROM MANAGER IS NOT CWM.
CWM is in the KERNEL (well, to be specific, in the initramfs of the kernel) on nearly all Samsung devices.
ROM Manager is an app that tries to install CWM, but FAILS to do so correctly on our device. CWM versions installed by ROM Manager DO NOT WORK PROPERLY on the I777.

ok heres the deal the cwm you booted into was probably rom manager cwm. so here are the next steps to take. question is are you using a custom kernel that has cwm installed? when you rooted your device did you have cwm installed? i also noticed you were using a skyrocket. when i rooted my wifes SR I did the all in one package. My opinion is just unistall rom manager and reflash cwm. then reboot into cwm and make a nandroid backup. although in theory your backup you did with rom manager is good forever unless you delete the file under /clockworkmod/backup.
miui+siyah = beast

OP, if you ****ed up probably the easiest step of the process(after all in one of the stickies it says DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER, as so), rooting your phone is not for you.
Either that or you're trolling.

Reading through this made me confused. But to the OP. Mod Manager is fine. You can use that to install CWM recovery. Just be sure to chose the T-Mobile SGSII version of CWM when it asks.
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE ROMS IN MOD MANAGER THOUGH. They are built for the SGSII phones. You can however use Rom Manager for all other options such as installing roms through SD, fixing permissions, and booting up into CWM, etc.

Using the stock kernel. I rooted with DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su. So I can do the uninstall and then reflash CWM. Do you have a URL handy for the reflash? Don't want to make another error.

Probably the part about what else he's supposed to do. If I knew, I'd tell him. I assume he should read the whole thread in dev about how to get CWM installed through recovery but I'm just a novice. You might have been more helpful but I see that a lot of you are too busy hanging out in in dark closets having sex with your phones... tin foil hats and all. I know it's a pain answering the same questions over and over. I've provided support on a lot of boards and on a lot of subjects. When I got tired of typing the same answers, I started keeping them all in a text file so I could copy and paste them, links and all. That way, the info is spread all over the place and new users don't have to resort to finding the single "needle in the haystack." I know the L33T (do they still use that term? It's been about 20 years since i've seen it... probably for the good) love to repeatedly type "DO A SEARCH." Why not just help. If you don't want to and only want to maintain being L33T... do it elsewhere. You serve no function other than stroking yourself. I hate the "slam the noob" mentality. We were all one at some point. Merry Christmas.

The confusion here is that the OP posted this in the i777 forum. The i777 CANNOT use Rom manager to flash recovery and they have to use a cwm injected kernel.
The OP needs to learn where to read about his phone and remember what model he has.

[Q] Root and Install a Custom ROM on GS4G without a computer

My wife's GS4G connects to the computer but only charges. The phone does not recognized that it's plugged in to the computer, and the computer doesnt acknowledge the device either. I doubt I have a driver issue because the computer would at least tell me that it couldnt find them. The phone only charges when it's connected. I want to know if there's a way to root the phone without using the computer. I could then use wireless adb after that I guess. I looked at this one tutorial but I couldnt flash any Rooting Zips from the bootloader because my bootloader is version e3 (?) and I guess you need e2. Is there a workaround for this or am I forever doomed?

Assuming you're on Froyo, download the update.zip from this post:

That will get you CWM.
Download the Bali kernel from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080871
Once you put it on your sd card and use the update.zip from the first post to get into cwm, flash the new kernel since it's got a newer version of CWM + root. You'll be able to tinker with your phone after that. Note that you will only have support for Froyo CWM roms after that so don't try flashing any Gingerbread CWM roms until you manage to get your computer to recognize it.

Great! Now what's restricting the ROM flashing to Froyo only? I've talked to a few people that think the usb port on the phone is broken. I've gotten no other explanations. It doesn't look like I'll be getting it connected at all.

To upgrade to Gingerbread you need to install a new bootloader that is only installable via samsung kies or via odin/hemidall. All of which require you to be hooked to a computer.

What eollie said is true. We've tried experimenting with flashing bootloaders via CWM, but that just wound up bricking phones, so you WILL need a computer to get on Gingerbread.
Maybe you can try to get a phone repair company to fix your USB port for you once you verify that it IS broken.

"use the update.zip to get into cwm" The update.zip file will get you yellow cwm. Don't worry it won't brick her phone if you're on Froyo and you have the SGH-T959V. The bali kernel won't work unless you flash it from the yellow CWM. If the screen you're trying to flash from has mostly blue letters, you're in samsung recovery which will only let you flash the update.zip to get yellow CWM.

Ok, This is what I did. I downloaded the second linked file from the thread you linked. It was an update.zip. I booted into the screen with the mostly blue letters,

did you select install update zip bro?

yeah. Thats how I got to what you see in the second image

Since your phone is probably not rooted you'll need to use this exploit to get it rooted directly from the phone:

[Q] CWR Touch Freezing

Heylo Guys,
First post (obviously) and I'm kinda stumped.
So, I rooted my phone (Skyrocket on AT&T) with Odin and got CWR on it as well. Then I successfully flashed the Sky ICS rom and was doing all my joyful downloading and stuff of apps. I got ROM Manager and updated my CWR to Touch Recovery. Everyting was fine and dandy. I then wanted to back up everything after everything was set up and my ROM Manager froze. Sooo, I did the recovery via button holding and tried to backup; however, Touch won't backup, it just freezes. So, I started to do other things in touch... but they freeze too! In fact, it even freezes when i just try to go back to a previous menu. My phone still works... I just can't flash anything... or do anything in CWR. Anyone know what's up?

why do u think my sig is the way it is, ive read a few hundred posts here on the i727 forum b4 i even attempted to flash, i did not want to brick my baby.
too many users come on here read a few posts, head straight to the devs, dont understand what they are reading in the devs op, but flash anyways, then cant understand why their phones arent working when everyone else's is, and i dont think you have read it here that anyone has updated or used cwm through rom manager, unless rom developer says u can , so it begs the question, why did you?, if u followed my advice you would b sitting pretty
