I want to install the ClockworkMod TOUCH 5.5.0.4 v4 . but I found there are many ways to install it , odin and cwm
I have both , but somebody said they have trouble to flash in Cwm and some others said there are some mini error happened when they use the odin way. which way is more safe to flash the ClockworkMod touch instead of my non touch CWM.
if i flash with CWM, the touch will replace the CWM, or they will both installed on my phone???
I've always used Odin with no problems. To my knowledge you can't flash a recovery from a recovery. You could use rom manager from the market if your rooted but I hear bad things about using rom manager to flash clockwork. My advice use Odin

please take a look
i agree with you that we can not to flash a recovery with another recover. however, please take a look the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472954
the first one is a zip file and the instruction said
( Just flash in CWM
- this one creates the .hidenandroidprogress file for you so you dont need to create it manually)
what is that mean??
i have already flash the non touch CWM on my phone, is it ok to flash this touch with odin , do i need to wipe the data or something i need to be careful before i flash, please let me know. i did not find a instruction detail with that.
Some phones you have to create that file and some you don't. On mine when creating a backup it would hang up. So what I did was flash in Odin the recovery image then installed the zip thru cwm then wipe cache and dalvick cache... also it is important that you have the latest version of busybox installed...
Try flashing the recovery in Odin first and if all works well then don't do anything else but if it hangs on making a backup then do what I said above... if you get stumped just let me know and I'll try to walk you thru it

so the result is i am rooted with cwm installed
and now i want to install the sky ics and the first step is to install the touch recover.

1. Yes you can just use Odin and flash cwm touch. I had an earlier version installed and wanted to update so I just cranked up Odin 1.85 click PDA navigate to where you downloaded the tar file make sure repartition is NOT checked and flash away.
2. All you are flashing is a recovery image so no need to wipe anything.
3. Yes if something goes wrong you should be able to restore your backup or if you wanted you could look in the dev section and find the Odin one click 2.3.5 att stock firmware and flash it and start over. But that is not necessary. However I do recommend you download the phones stock firmware from sammobile.com and store it on your PC just in case you ever need it for any reason....
OK I think I covered everything so if you need anymore help let me know and as always happy flashing....
Oh btw flashing is very addictive. I'm a flashaholic... so flash at your own risk

I'm currently rooted with everything else stock. I've decided I want to try the Bali Kernel, so I thought the first thing I should do before anything else is a backup. So I downloaded Rom Manager and followed the steps from here.
so when I ran Back Up Current Rom, I got the following. See screen shot. Is there something in that guide that is missing?
Also, someone in a similar thread said to choose Reinstall Packages. I tried that and got this. See screen shot.
you have to press reinstall packages then go to backup and restore and make a backup... and if you get that error you could try replacing the recovery file in system and then trying it again
First thing is to ditch rom manager. It has issues with the sgs4g and will give you a headache and little else. Second go to the development section and find krylons cwm final thread and follow it to the letter.
It looks like you don't have clockworkmod installed and you need this to do what you are trying.

Ok, so I followed the instructions. Replaced the Recovery file and put update.zip on the root of the sdcard. But I still needed Rom Manager to run the back up. Then did the reinstall packages again and this time it went in recovery to do the back up, and it worked.
If I didn't reinstall Rom Manager, how else would I have run a back up. I followed this guide that worked for the sidekick 4g.
you do not need rom manager at all.
do the update and recovery file go to recovery screen reinstall packages then you can goto backup and restore and either back up a rom or restore one

Got it thanks. I noticed the Galaxy S 4G is one of the phones in the Flash recovery list in Rom Manager. So would it be correct to say that the update to Rom Manager to support the SGS4G did not work? Hence, needing to manually install the recovery and update.zip files.
is there any roms that you can flash threw odin but not a stock rom?
if anyone can make one a tar file for me i would buy you a beer (lol)
i know i can flash it but i want to be safe and do it threw odin
IMO wouldn't flashing it through CWM be safer then ODIN? I know if you are restoring with ODIN and your phone gets unplugged or something happens with your computer you could possibly brick your phone. Just my two cents...but to answer your question I've never seen a ROM in TAR format. Good luck though
+1
The only odin roms I've seen here are stock leaks, some with root and cwm. Flashing through cwm is way safer; get cwm running and make a nandroid backup (backup and restore option in cwm) then flash the rom of your choice. If you screw it up, boot back to cwm recovery and restore your backup. If you screw up in Odin you softbrick. (Hint: there is a reason there are no odin flashable customs roms...)

Flashing any rom or using odin is not safe....that's why the warning is there....flashing in general can be harmful....but if directions are followed and with some research not just in the mighty XDA forums....like YouTube you won't have problems...but hey if you do just ask via here....so much knowledge around you will get help kk

Hi,
Please help me.
I tried to install CWM in my galaxy ace using "Odin".
I followed correct steps and odin showed "pass" at last.
but now my phone is not booting.
It will load upto "GALAXY Ace GT-S5830....." scree and nothing is happening after that.
I am not able to boot into recovery also now.
How I can recover my phone back?
Please help me.
Flash everything back to stock with Odin. You should make sure repartition is checked before flashing. When you try to flash cwm through Odin, redownload the files and try again.

Thanks for replying, but sorry to ask you one more doubt (may be too n00b qn.)
what do you mean by "flash everything"?
where I can get all those files for Ace?
Sorry took soo long to reply, was at work. Can you post a link to the method you used to flash cwm? Just want to make sure I point you to the correct firmware.
I have used the method at
acetips.wordpress.com/2011/10/01/install-cwm-ace-froyo
As it didn't worked, I used some other "ops" file, which brick my phone.
Can I use any samsung upgrade method ( as I have done earlier in my sonyericsson w8 using SEUS) ?
Or how can I fully flash and make it alive?
Try this...!
Hey no phone dies so easily, so, follow the process mentioned in the given link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
You know how to use odin get you ops file and further download the stock rom on
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
thanks friends.
But now I am not able to get into the recovery mode. will it get fixed after flashing the latest firmware?
What is the really working method to get CWM recovery for ACE?
It should work again if u flashed the stock because the stock recovery is included in the stock rom =)
please help me.
my phone is still not turning on, even after flashing stock firmware using odin.
How can i get it back?
my ace is now alive
Thank god!!! at last, my phone is alive.
Now dear friends, do u know any guaranteed to work -cwm flashing methods for ace?
Since you have flashed stock, are you able to get into stock recovery?

Before you flash CWM Recovery, you need to ROOT ur phone, download upd_1.zip file from the link that I provided in the previous post and flash it from Stock recovery.

I agree. Though not totally necessary, it does help. Also enable adb.

PLEASE HELP!! I have successfully rooted the device and was doing ok after flashing CWmod recovery 6.0.1 through E-Z recovery app and running Liquid Rom. I managed to be dumb enough to flash CWMod version 5.8.4.9 through Rom manager and when I rebooted my phone it got stuck in boot loop. I am able to get into CWMod 5.8.4.9 but I cannot restore my backup anymore. I can also data wipe and install a new rom, but it all just keeps going into bootloop and I cannot get past the samsung custom unlock screen. It first flashed that, then the android man pops up on the next screen like its loading something and then just keeps looping through the process. I did not use ODIN for any of this process and I dont know how to get myself back tothe point where I can reboot. Any help would be tremendously appreciated, because I'm dead stuck and in a panic. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Happend to me last night...
I made the same mistake... DO NOT download any recoveries from ROM manager. I found out the hard way... So the problem now is your phone is stuck using the recovery you downloaded. I am not sure of a quick way using that recovery if you can revert back but... My solution got me where I needed to be in order to get going again.
I had to use Odin to root to stock ROM. Yes when you wipe it will destroy your data but not your pictures, downloaded files, and other files you put on there. When I re-rooted with stock all my stuff for CM10, gapps, and the kexec CWM was there.
So use this guide...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1
Section 1!!!!! And follow the steps EXACTLY the way it says to.
This is why i have never liked rom manager...
The best solution for us to flash recoveries is ez recovery free from the market. I would use this going forward once you Odin back to stock

You can use odin to flash or do like the above says, flash over. also reminder CM 11 Roms needs CWM. Most ROMs have this info posted though. Happy Flashing!!
