Use root explorer to copy/replace recovery.bin put update.zip on root of sd card, reboot into recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

This is what I did and worked perfectly. But I allready had KD1 which I recomend you get. Download the recovery and update.zip and put both of them on the root of your sd card. Then get root explorer from the market. Open root explorer and go down to sdcard. In the sd card you are gonna find the recovery file you placed in there. Your long press it and its gomma say copy. Copy that and press back button and then your at the main page of root explorer again. Its gonna say paste and cancle at.the bottom but dont press anything yet. You go all the way down to system and go into it and then into /bin. In /bin your gonna press the mount r~w button at the top right which allows you to paste the file. You press paste at bottom left and its gonna ask if you want to overwrite say yes.(if it didnt ask you overwrite that either means the file you downloaded was renamed.or there was a (2) or (3) on it if you downloaded various times. Just take the ending out so its.just.recovery)
Now back out to homescreen of your phone.and if you have kd1 you can get into recovery from quickboot if not then turn off your phone and hold powerbutton and both volume keys while the phones turning on normally it will go to a bluish screen with an android.(recovery) here you click reinstall packages and your done

I really don't have that directory - should I have it?

issue solved by formatting the SDcard
so I formatted mt sdcard and the managed to get into CWM.
I hava another question:
now every time I want to go into CWM I should do the same procedure?
I mean put the update.zip in the root of the sdcard->go to recovery->reinstall apps?

That's what I do leaving the update there... btw its root toolbox helps geting into recovery without the three button push also with getting rid of bloat

Is the 3E stock recovery the only reason?
I don't understand why its not an option....

Was it built for this phone?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

A bunch of things you need to know for galaxies vs aosp
1. I also came from a g1. I loved it.
2. AOSP, Sense, Motoblur.etc excluding Touchwiz(These types run on the basic file format. Install rom from a signed zip, start up using a bootloader spl, you must be familiar with hardspl. A boot.img, this is the kernel, and a zip with /system, and other stuff. Also a recovery.img(Amon Ra). And a modem.img
3. Those phones have a posibility for ADB Remount command and fastboot.
eg adb remount, or fastboot flash recovery.img
4. Touchwiz is Galaxy. They run on 2 bootloader binary files, a zImage as a kernel, and mainly the /system partition called factoryfs.rfs is stockly available on a computer flashable tar file which has the files. The tar files usually with files that include factoryfs.rfs, datafs.rfs, cache.rfs, param.lfs, boot.bin, sbl.bin, zImage and modem.bin.
5. Factoryfs = /system zip datafs = /data partition cache = /cache partition, param includes core files like splash image 1 for the g1, and boot and sbl are bootloader, zImage = boot.img with different coding, modem.bin = modem.img
6. zImage contains the recovery.img partition on GB and the /system partion has recovery in froyo roms.
7. Touchwiz has odd mounts, and flashing alternate recoveries has the potential to make your phone an expensive paper weight.
8. There is a feature kind of like boot loader and spl mode for g1(rainbow screen) called download mode. This is where you connect to the computer to flash the big tar files.
9. The smart devs have created a clockworkmod recovery, which has more functions then amon ra and allows you to flash zip files with sgs4g roms.
10. Boot animation cannot be changed unless you have a kernel supporting them. Instead of bootanimation.zip, they use 2 files called bootsamsung.qmg, and bootsamsungloop.qmg
11. DON"T FLASH ANYTHING NOT MADE FOR THIS PHONE, ESPECIALLY BOOTLOADERS AS THEY MAY MAKE YOUR PHONE UNUSABLE, THE REST USUALLY CAN BE RECOVERED.

so is there a way to backup/restore my galaxy s like i could my G1

1. the galaxy s 4g is not a G1
2. yes, you can back it up by going to "backup and restore" in CWM and then clicking "Backup". this will back everything up.
you can restore by choosing the same option in cwm, but "restore" once in the menu.
if you are on a rom that you want to keep, you can go to advanced restore in the backup/restore menu and restore only your data.
gdofwar has a tutorial out on how to backup/restore the phone. does this help?

when i go into ROM Manager and click "backup current rom" it takes me to the screen in the picture. there are no backup options. incase you cant see the pic. the options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data.

Flash, not push. Unless you're rooted, the file system is set to read-only. If you are rooted, download root explorer or any other file system explorer, set to R/W, and push again.
To flash, boot to recovery and select the update.zip option (don't remember exact wording).

[Bootanimation] CM10 Bootanimation

CM10 Bootanimation
Just downloaded the latest nightly, has the new bootanimation that fits perfectly on our device, thought I'd share it for anyone that wants it but doesn't want to download the whole ROM or update for some reason or aren't even running CM10! (I have a Vibrant.)
Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?2o06igj8pcc0wzk
Note: This is not a flashable, push/pull/punch/kick it to system/media.​

Works perfect and looks great

You'll need root and a way to mount the /system partition rw. I do everything through adb,
# mount -o remount,rw /system
# cp path/to/new/bootanimation.zip /system/media
# busybox chown root:root /system/media/bootanimation.zip
# busybox chmod 644 /system/media/bootanimation.zip
# reboot
There are "root explorer" tools that can probably do it as well.

Thanks. I figured it out by using sgs toolbox app to give it a r/w permission. I was able to delete afterwards.

I was able to copy and paste over to the media folder. But when reboot, I only get the word 'Android' on the boot screen. I don't see the animation like the video in YouTube. Is there something that I need to change. I am running REMICS.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

Amigos. Use a root explorer like ES File Explorer by ES Strong. After doing so hit menu button, settings, scroll down to where it says root settings then tap on it, hit the first check box that says for rooted phones only. Then hit the box that says mount system, and also the other box that says make system write able or up to root directory. Once you have do so please hit the back button twice to go back to where you can see the files on your SD card. Once you can do see your SD card files please tap the back button once more and after doing so you shouldn't see all your phone's system files and once you can see them scroll down and open the folder called "system" not sys. I repeat the folder called "system"
Once inside the folder? Hard click on the folder called "Media" and hit copy. Then navigate back to your SD card and past it somewhere on your SD card as a back up just in case you ever want to revert back to the cm9 or whatever boot animation you are currently using. Now once you have backed up the folder called media. Please navigate back to your system folder/media and open it once again. After doing so delete the boot animation zip folder that is inside of it, no worried because that is why you made a back up of the folder on your SD card for then after you delete the one inside system please move this boot animation zip folder to system. By this boot animation zip I mean the cm10 boot loader to system. Capish? Then after doing so exit your file browser and restart your phone and watch as the amazing cm10 boot logo pops up

*Done. Phone booted like in 30 secs. The CM9 one made it boot very slow. Good thing is that this bootanimation doesn't have the # of CM version.

Try fixing permissions. Either reboot to recovery or change them using a root explorer. Long press on the file, go to properties, permissions should be rw-r-r

Make sure your ROM and/or Kernel support custom boot animations.

IDK why it wouldn't. Its CM9. It supports theme chooser. I've had another bootanimation on there since i've got the ROM. So IDK. I've looked in a few different places and downloaded quite a few of the same animation to the same effect. Checked the permissions and they were set right in the program. I'm fixing permissions in TWRP now. I'll repost after it finishes.
Still nothing after the permission fix. Hmmm.

I manually copy them in TWRP. Some installers don't work right. I think they don't mount system, just try and copy it to and without it being mounted properly, it won't work.
If you have an installer for a boot animation, open the zip and get the bootanimation.zip file and put it on your SD card. Otherwise, just the boot animation there.
Now you use TWRP recover option, or ES file explorer.
With ES File Explorer, you have to goto setting, make sure root options are on and mount system is enabled to allow writing to the system folder.
With TWRP, go to mount and make sure "unmount system" is checked. This means its mounted.
In TWRP, go to advanced, file manager, in ES file explorer, you're already in a file manager.
If you want to backup your current bootanimation, navigate to system->media folder. Press and hold on the bootanimation.zip to copy it. Navigate to a temp folder on your card and paste it.
Now go to your bootanimation.zip you want to use, press and hold on the file to copy it, navigate back to system->media and paste it. Reboot and you should be good. The main idea is to use some sort of method that will let you write to the system folder and copy the bootanimation.zip to the system->media folder.

Yep -- I've run into installers that don't check the mounts first. Including one I used to use for Hefe Kernel, I have to admit. It is especially troublesome if you "stack" installs and the previous one "helpfully" unmounts /system.

Ya, I've learned to check things more, do things manually and become a lot more comfortable with doing stuff like that with my phone and it helps figuring stuff out and getting stuff to work how I want it.

You guys had the clockworkmod bootstrap installed. Uninstalling it does not restore two files that were changed in the system partition. This has been discussed many times in this forum. The bootstrapper backed them up when it changed them so you just need root (I use Root Explorer) and restore the two backed up files. Once you do that the OTA should install.
[Removing CWM Recovery]
1) Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper
2) Delete file /system/bin/hijack
3) Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper
4) Delete directory /preinstall/recovery
If you had the boot into recovery hack then you need to restore this file also.
[Removing CWM on Boot]
1) Delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
2) Rename file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode

Hello guys... I have never had clockwork mode recovery but I have some custom recovery, busy box, debloater that I have used to get Google Now on my Leaked 1 ICS Android... I receive error after rebooting and I don't know why and don't know where to find the logs... Now I uninstalled all these applications that could have caused some changes in the /sys folder and I am trying it again? What should I do?

First off check last_log in cache and look what error it is giving.try a factory reset from the recovery.if you removed bloatware to install google now that would probably do it.you gotta replace them.but first check last_log

Are you rooted???
If yes use any file explorer root explorer,ES file explorer and the when you are in the root of your device you will see a cache folder there you will find last log
If you are not rooted in while updating just press vol up+vol down it will show you the details why the installation is failing.note the apk or lib that gives the error you need to fiz them.and btw try a wipe data from the recovery most files will be back up.

You must be rooted for all these.
Btw did you try wiping data from recovery??

You mean wipe data & cache (factory reset)?

If you are really that nooby just fxz back to 2.36 using jim's script that would be a lot easier for you if you don't know what you are doing.i guess i already gave you the link to that in another thread.

I really understand what is not going on here... I know I have deleted DLNA to get space Google Now... If I make a full backup and I restore after I wipe data and OTA, will everything be OK?

Simple answer, no.
You need either find and install DLNA.apk or fxz back to 2.3.6.

Sorry my question was not really understandable... The last question didn't have to do with the rest of the thread... I was asking for the backup cause I didn't want to lose them... I FXZ back at 2.3.5 and now I am at 4.0.4... I made a full backup when I was in the Leak #1... Now when I restore it back, will I have all my configurations or it is not worth it to restore it? And also will that restore the damaged file of DLNA as it was or nothing to do with that!!

You can not restore a backup from a different release, it is not wise and can cause a boot loop..... What are you worried about losing? Do you sync mail, and contacts and such? If you do you should be ok. The ONLY thing you will have to do is reinstall apps, and that is easy in the play store, just go to the my apps tab I think it is, and install all the ones you have in there that you want back on the phone. Yeah it is a PIA, to do an fxz then ota, then reinstall all your apps, but that is the price we pay for "hacking" our phones sometimes.

You guys had the clockworkmod bootstrap installed. Uninstalling it does not restore two files that were changed in the system partition. This has been discussed many times in this forum. The bootstrapper backed them up when it changed them so you just need root (I use Root Explorer) and restore the two backed up files. Once you do that the OTA should install.
[Removing CWM Recovery]
1) Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper
2) Delete file /system/bin/hijack
3) Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper
4) Delete directory /preinstall/recovery
If you had the boot into recovery hack then you need to restore this file also.
[Removing CWM on Boot]
1) Delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
2) Rename file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode

I have installed the ES file explorer and enable the root options in the settings. It says the hijack and longwrapper files are unable to be removed. Any other options?

Try a different root browser (like root explorer) - I think ES has issues with actual root operations.
Other options might be adb or terminal emulator - but need to know a few commands for that..

Yeah yeah that is what I did... I thought there was a way to backup these stuff... Now is there any way to root the official OTA?

Phone has no System Files * help please*

Hey guys,
I goofed today, and clicked system when wiping without having a backup in my sdcard (whoops). My problem is now, I can't boot the phone (obv) so the phone doesn't show up in windows. I still have access to TWRP, but I need stock zip. I have a stock zip, but I can't transfer it to my phones sdcard.
Other than doing the traditional adt bundle + flashing it the long way, does anybody have any ideas on how I can get the zip file to my phone even though I have no system and it won't show up in Windows 8?
Thanks so much.

Download the Google image from Google and extract the system.IMG
Then go boot loader on phone then type: fastboot flash system system.IMG
That will flash the system back on and you're done.

Also you can do adb sidelod to flash a ROM zip file. No need to put it on the SD card.

Have you phone booted into recovery.
Connect it to your PC
Move the stock zip file into the same folder on your PC as adb.exe
Open the command prompt from that window (shift + right click then "open command window here")
Type the command: adb push nameofzip.zip /sdcard/
(nameofzip being the name of the file you want to push)
It will transfer the file to you internal storage and you can then flash it.

thank you but ...

Realy dude, use the search buttons in the right corner and Google. This is not a daycare center

rom
thanks i got it to recognize but is it usuall to take so long to push the rom

Hint:
TWRP has USB-OTG- support: you can use a flashdrive ( FAT32 formated (default on 99.9999..%of the devices))
the flashdrive must be mounted (Menu: Mount)
