Hello,
I am using Samsung S2 - GTi9100
Android ver 2.3.4
Kernel ver. 2.6.35.7.... dirty
Build# Gingerbread.XXKG1
In November 2011 I unlocked rooted and upgraded to 2.3.4 using instructions from the web. A week ago I started to "fight" with my beloved GALAXY S2.
Clockwork 4 was installed so I downloaded cyanogen april 14 night and installed without any issue. It worked fine with one but... I could not download and install any app from the market and web. After couple of days of searching I found few long threads on web with no actual resolution. For some people it was just one easy step for most never... So for me it looked like no real cure for the problem I went the way another unlucky were doing.
I restored my 2.3. During my troubleshooting I installed CLOCKWORK 5.0 (.2 I believe). And found a strange thing, sometime it booted to CWM 5 but most of the time to 4. Today I found CWM 5.8 and installed zip. I saw confirmed version 5.8 (new color) but after reboot it went back to 4.
My ROM manager shows 4.0.1.5
It doesn't matter how I reboot (from ROM Manager or with buttons).
Most of the time it goes to 4. Sometimes it went to 5.2 (I guess)
Also there is no option to go to Download mode (I tried with USB Connected and other from web).
The question:
How to clean up CWM. And assure that only latest version present.
Sorry for such a long post...
Thx.
Michael.
NOt sure but may work>
Try deleting the Clockworkmod folder which is present in the root of your sd card.
no luck
I just renamed the folder turn the phone off. Then started in recovery mode.
It loads 4. Where is fricking 5 sits?
Looks like unknown planet

Hello. I have been waiting a while for a CynogenMod for the i5800 and yesturday I attempted to use it on my phone.
After rooting via z4root apk, I downloaded the free version of ROM Manager and when it asked select your model of phone the i5800 isn't on there so I picked the ZTE Blade as it is another low end phone. ROM Manager then proceeded to make a 'backup'.
Then went onto trying to install from .zip using the current build for the i5800 from here and selected it from the recovery menu only to see after a long boot up that it had booted into the stock ROM albeit still rooted. Now everytime I turn my phone off it acts like its been wiped and has 0mb of memory (should have about 150 or similar) so I can't get a root explorer.
Hopefully this is a simple solution as its still on android2.1-update1 aka what the phone shipped with and I believe Samsung is in the process of sending out a 2.2 update so could someone please say how I can make sure the phone has no evidence of flashing and how to stop the constant wiping of the phones memory so that I can sell the phone without any risks.
Many thanks, JTS.
Hi folks and especially Chainfire if he is tracking nu-bees,
Nu-bee here. Just installed Resurrection Remix Pro ICS firmware following instructions at Galaxy2Root.com. They had me install 3 files with the Remix package, GoogleApps and GoogleAppsFix. All went well. Then the instructions told me to install 10_CWM.zip so that ClockWorkMod would work. But CWM had been overwritten, so I couldn´t install something from my internal sdcard. I thought I would be clever and install one of Chainfire´s custom CF-root packages. I selected one close to the kernel number I have installed (LPJ). I flashed it over with Odin.
No joy. The phone booted, showed the opening logo and then lay there with a black screen. But CWM recovery still was active, so I wiped the system and reinstalled the files this time including 10_CWM.zip (4 files). This time I have ICS but CWM is gone again. I´d like to back up the ROM.
I´d like suggestions as to how to get CWM installed. I would be most grateful! I read the entire 450 page set of posts on Chainfire´s CF-root upgrades (whew). I´d use one of those if I was confident that I wouldn´t go back to a black screen again.....
still trying
Well, I haven´t gotten much of a response with this. With this 10 post limit for noobies, I can´t get to the developers forum where I would find the folks who grapple with these kinds of issues.
Anyway, I flashed the latest of Chainfires kernels, the LP7 version, and ended up with a black screen again. So I went into restore (and had CWM restore at least) and restored my ROM, etc. But of course, I lost CWM in the process. And had to reconfigure my phone all over again. I had used My Backup Pro and it didn´t save the connections to the Google Market, so I had to reinstall my apps all over again. Is Titanium better in this regard? My Backup Pro claims to make better backups for rooted phones, but this was pretty feeble.
So that will be my question for this forum - should I change to Titanium? Will it get all my apps, settings, and data back into my preferred configuration?
Have a great day......
I am in same boat as you are. I buy i just installed rom with Rom manager and i have Gapps fixer and remix one left and CWM ofcourse. So my problem is i don't have Ex-sd as they suggest to Install "Cwm.zip from external sd card from recovery". How to do so ?
Please help
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Never mind I sort it out Yesterday. I installed from Rom manager & Flash recovery from it and then boot up into recovery from App and then Flash Touch Recovery.
Hello!
I have rooted my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 successfully, then I installed Mobile ODIN Pro 3.4.5 and tried to flash clockworkmod recovery using the kernel file from wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_Tab_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide (specifically, "Technomancer's Kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery"). The device rebooted and started making clicking noises (while stuck at "Samsung Galaxy Tab"). I waited for some time, rebooted it again... Now it doesn't make clicking noises, but still stuck.
Have I superbricked it *again*? I know that it would brick when made full wipe, but Mobile ODIN isn't supposed to wipe while flashing a kernel...
Please help me. Just today I got it from service centre, and I really don't want to wait another two weeks.
Thanks in advance
UPDATE 1: Wow, I was able to flash clockworkmod recovery through Heimdall 1.3.1 (something that I wasn’t able to do previously). Running memory check… maybe it is going to be fine after all [crosses fingers]. For all those who want to flash clockworkmod recovery on their Galaxy Tabs: don’t use Mobile ODIN, don’t use Heimdall 1.3.2 and flash the latest recovery (v6).
UPDATE 2: No errors! Now I am going to try to install Paranoid Android 2.23 (no official CM9 builds for P6800 yet).

You realize you flashed a recovery for a completely different device and you are lucky to get your tablet running again, don't you? The "Galaxy Tab" is a 2010 device, one of the first Android tablets; it came with Froyo. Ours is over a year more recent, with a much improved architecture. The "Tab" was an overgrown Galaxy S; ours is an overgrown Galaxy Note.
Check the development board (for the 7.7 ). You should use either the latest CWM 6.x.x from locerra or TWRP, you will find them there. Also, you'll see that there are CM9/10 ports to our device (by locerra), in addition to ParanoidAndroid (ported by Androguide.fr).

Ouch.
Now when you said it… Guess I’m very lucky. Thanks a lot! I swear I will pay more attention to, er, everything in the future

No worries, **** happens. Take care of the device (we are vulnerable to a pretty nasty bug, if you use the older or touch CWM). And as usual, #BlameSamsung for the confusing nomenclature...
Here's to hoping someone can help me out. My phone details before I messed up: LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP 3.0, running Fulmics 5.2 for about 1 1/2 weeks
I noticed that I was not seeing the LTE indicator on my phone. I checked the HUB and saw the BootD850-30012016 data patch and figured that I just needed to install. So I flashed it and my phone wouldn't start. I was able to boot into recovery, so I figured I would do a clean install of the ROM so I did a full wipe, accidentally wiping EVERYTHING except for my external SD.
Result was that I can access TWRP but am unable to flash any of my backups or zips from my external SD, or OTG. I can see the files, but don't have the option to "swipe". I also am unable to 'mount' or 'install'.
At this point, I noticed that AT&T has finally released the OTA for Marshmallow, so I figured I would just use LG FlashTool and totally un-root and give the update a try. (BTW, I have used the flash tool many times with no problems/issues on both my phone and my son's D855).
Unfortunately, I am getting the dreaded "unable to change to download mode" after 15 seconds. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash Tool, the LG Drivers and all files and used every port on both of my computers (Windows 10 btw) but can't get past the download error.
So...after many hours of digging, I took a leap of faith and was able to sideload Fulmics 5.1 successfully and install the 5.2 update from the HUB. I made backup of the ROM but TWRP still won't allow me to "swipe" and install/restore. I reinstalled TWRP using Flashify and it installed version 2.8 but still no go on flashing from recovery.
I realize that I'm lucky to have been able to figure out how to get the phone back using the sideload function in TWRP, but I really do want to go back to stock and it bugs me that I am unable to use my backups.
Sorry for the novel, but I wanted to be sure to include everything I did....if anyone can help me out I would be much obliged. My 11 year old is anxiously waiting on me to figure this out before she gets this phone (I'm moving up to the HTC 10 in a couple of weeks!). She still thinks I'm 'SuperMommy' so if I can fix this I get to keep my swagger!
I was also running fulmics 5.1 and updated to 5.2 in my phone but now i was having pretty good laggs and i finally realised that the update provided by the phone was corruped so i went on the official site and downloaded the same 5.2 OTAs from there and flashed it into TWRP recovery to finally get the latest version 5.3..know that is it always advisable to flash zip file when in recovery mode using TWRP recovery...The big mistake was cleaning also the internal memory of your phone.this caused the malfunction of twrp.
The issue is that most often i have seen cases of lagg in those updating to fulmics 5.2 from the Hub .sometimes in twrp recovery the update files will not successfully wipe and then reboot system with 5.2 installed but with many lagg the file downloaded there may be corrupted and not give you permission to swipe..if you really like fulmics and still update to the latest..Try this it may help you solve your problem:1 reinstall the fulmics 5.1 go to xdadevelopers.com/fulmics follow the link given by xpirit to www.fulmics.com and download the OTA 5.2(file size maybe 46 mb).. 2.reboot your phone now in twrp recovery it should now be able swipe and install..(if not then install Twrp 3.0 and try) 3-search the files in your internal memory or wherever you have downloaded it and flash it ..4.reboot system.That should be done!! In case you want to come back to stock and cant install from Twrp then the problem is with Twrp just download the latest version that goes with your phone.
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I finally figured it out after a couple days of sweating and swearing. Yaneddik, you were spot on about updating from the Hub. I ended up installing TWRP 2.8.6 and re-installed 5.1 from the Fulmics website along with the updates. Everything has been working great (except for losing LTE connectivity, but that's for another thread!). I'm not inclined to update TWRP to 3.0 unless absolutely necessary, 2.8.6 works just fine for me.

Am a newbie here but a long time rooter on my older phones. This is the first time that I've seen the Hub mentioned. Can you kindly post a link?

Hey there....you can access the Hub after you flash the Fulmics ROM. It's where you can get your tweaks, downloads, mods, etc. You'll find it in your app drawer.
Bare with me, I'm a total noob and I hold my hands up, I got a galaxy note 8.0, rooted it fine then I went to install CM 13 for it following partially instructions partially my own knowledge and now it's muffed. No matter how many times I tried it wouldn't work and I was messing around with it all night last night and all day today and in my infinat wisdom I removed all OS from it full stop. I have been sat here for 6 hours trying to put cm on it (tried 11, 12 and 13) tried installing stock marshmallow I downloaded from some site, and even some other ROM I can't remember off the top of my head (the logo is a horse's head or something) and yep nothing what so ever i have tried several different boot thingies like twrp and it always fails when I try to install the ROM, I know I should have backed up and I thought I had using titaniumbackup but that went with the OS. It's currently got twrp on it and I can get into that and connect it Odin (I think that's what it's called) but that's all I can do. Is it fixable or is it scrap? >.<
Update, after putting it down and thinking about it from another perspective I worked out a fix, it's back running 4.4.2 and works fine (on my note I will say the latest update of the Google app causes a problem with the system UI if you have Google now as your launcher) I'll update with full details in the morning in hopes that if anyone else has a similar problem this will help.

Greetings and welcome to assist. Have you tried any of the CM based roms from xda ? You may only need to update your recovery. Both of these should work on your device
