Cannot root with Cwm

I am having issues with rooting via kernal. I tried to flash a kernal with Cwm but it would just hang. Pulled battery and tried again. It may be a problem with Cwm? Could someone tell me what color latest cwm should be and is it supposed to have a back up option on it? Tia!

latest CWM is the orange 4.0.1.4 version... if you're having problems rooting just flash a superuser.zip, search the dev section for it as myself and others have posted it recently

Thanks. When. I flashed cwm yesterday it said passed but I now have a blue recovery and it says something about samsung recovery which I am assuming is the stock recovery. I will try to reflash again when I am near a windows machine.

OK I tried to reflash cwm with odin with more times with different usb ports and a stock cable. Once with auto reboot and once without and both times said success and both times I booted into recovery and it is the stock recovery! This phone is no og droid that is for sure! Any suggestions? All I really want is pb and j to kill bloatware if the new update is coming soon now that Steve kondik is with samsung I will just wait!

ok well this should do it:
1. power off phone and take out battery
2. open odin on your pc
3. hold volume down button and connect to pc, should show download mode and should show up in odin, let go of volume down
4. put battery back in, uncheck 'auto reboot' and put the CWM file in PDA
5. push start and let odin flash the file, should only take a few seconds
6. unplug phone from pc, then remove battery
7. put battery back in
8. hold volume up, home button and power button until you see 'Samsung' then let go of power button
that should get you into CWM and you can work from there, since you don't have a custom kernel to make CWM 'stick' on your phone do not let the phone boot up or you will need to odin CWM again... you basically get one try with it

That must be my problem i will try

I am flashing the kernal via cwm should I still flash the SU file or will PBJ keep root access?

unable to load su zip file using CWM
The phone is a charge with CWM 4.0.1.4 installed. When attempting install su 2.3.6.3 efgh from the sd card with CWM the result is an error message relating to bad package.
Has anyone had success with this su ? Thanks Dan

Rom Manager & Mytouch 4G Slide

Okay, is anyone else having a hard time using Rom Manager using it's features due to the fact that the MT4GS is NOT listed as one of the models. I mean, how am I supposed to enter manual flash override if I can't even select MY phone model. What are WE supposed to do???
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

we don't have an official recovery yet, so we have to use Modaco 4.0.0.9 for the time being..
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT FLASH THE RECOVERY FOR ANOTHER PHONE..

That's a lil late however, I think I already did that, now I can't even enter recovery mode anymore, and when I power on while holding the volume button down. I get same message about trying to load and then it says no image. Even then if I try to press recovery I get stuck on the white t-mobile/HTC screen. Mt only option if to reboot. I'm st my wits end. Should I just Unroot and then just Root back again?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium

YES flash the PD15IMG file and start over from scratch with revolutionary and then upgrade to modaco's 4.0.0.9 recovery. There is no support for the MT4GS in ROM Manager and it's not safe at all to flash anything that's designed for another phone unless you want problems! Good luck!

There's probably an easier way. Download the modaco recovery zip, unzip it and grab the img file and rename it to recovery.img. Then reboot into the bootloader and use fastboot to flash the img. That should do the trick.

Just want to say thank you and I'm going to donate some coffee cash to you later. I followed your method of copying/transferring recovery image through terminal emulator on my phone and now it works PERFECTLY again. I think I accidentally flashed a different version of recovery for a different phone model through Rom Manager. So I learned my lesson. I also spoke with Koush yesterday and he assured me that a fix is on the way for the MT4GS, which is great to hear, otherwise, it's pretty much useless to us.

Where on my SD card am I supposed to stick the "recovery.img" file so that FASTBOOT will see it? I am having no luck finding/loading the IMG file....
I got it figured out. NEVERMIND =)

1) Download MoDaCo's recovery to your computer.
2) Download the Fastboot binary for your computer.
3) I'm assuming you have ADB set up on your computer, so type in "adb shell reboot bootloader".
4) When your phone is in the bootloader, type in "fastboot flash recovery */path/to/recovery.img*" and then "fastboot reboot".
5) You should be able to boot into recovery now.

Thank You Sir. I had already figured it out. I felt so stupid when I did too... It happens though... I guess I should have read more.

Yea I did this by accident once, flashed the MT4G recovery through Rom Manager. I suggest just go ahead and dont install that app at all, you cant really do anything with it anyway since most of the options are unavailable unless you flash CWM recovery through the app. Also, if you are using Unity Rom, CWM reads your device as a HTC Sensation, so dont be fooled. Once you flash the 4009 originally you should be good, if you accidentally flash another phones recovery, none of your nandroids will work

Thats actually a horrible score. Your overclocked to 1.8ghz and only at 5000? My RubiX is at 4900 with no overclock. One of my testers got 6100 using unity 1a kernel clocked to 1.6ghz.

I did the same thing with my I9020T, I accidentally used the 4G one click unroot and it installed a 4G rom on my T-mobile NS. Now when I try to flash a stock rom for the I9020T it gives me a signature verification errror, I'm still trying to figure it out

I haven't tried it out yet but I have a theory. The recovery on my phone I realised is the default Google one. Not CWM so I'm gonna try and reflash CWM and try to install an i9023 stock rom.
It you have a comp around try it would you? I'm not getting home for a while :/
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Go get the correct rom then rename it to update.zip move it to the root of your sd
Go in stock fastboot mode
Go to recovery hit the power button and when you see the the android question mark guy hold volume up and power
Go to apply update.zip and when your on your correct rom do this process to flash any stock rom
You should just flash the correct ICS rom ,good luck and please read read and when you think you got it read some more
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!

Another way I can think of is to flash koushs recovery img in fastboot mode and restore one of your backups, hopefully you didn't delete them because there still there but you have to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to see them

I tried using the default Google recovery to flash back. Hopeless. I keep getting the security error. I'm pretty sure Koush’s cwm will be able to fix it but I need a damn computer!

Solved. I flashed CWM. Flashed a rom(CyberGR) and a baseband(XXKB3) and I realized my efs was screwed. I restored my efs with Root explorer. And done. Problem solved.

Your suppose to get the error message. Then, u go into control panel, and go to device manager and right click apx device, update, browse for the drivers and choose the whole folder.

Definitely don't use rom manager on the g2x for anything except fix permissions.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

1st thing never use from manager to flash CWM , its a fake flash in fact I'm pretty sure all devs for the g2x say don't do it because **** can go wrong.
now go into device manager and look for apex device and right click and select update driver. then choose locate driver manually or the equivalent option I can't remember the options and then navigate the Nvflash folder and open the apex folder and threre will be two files one for 32 and 64 bit system choose the appropriate one and then you're done.

Did you unzip the apx folder before installing driver. Extract apx folder in different place than zip file. If it doesn't work you have to uninstall all apx driver and install again.
Try i386 and make sure you have administrator rights , also disable UAC from control panel

Make sure u have a g2x folder in it C/

You flash recovery in download mode. Another boot mode. Just search how to boot into download mode for your device it will be another button combo after your phone is off. After you get that figured out search a custom revovery for your device. Then you should be able to flash a revovery from your pc. Ill see what I can find for you.
