[ROM] CWM Flashable - T959VUVKD1 - DEODEXED[05/11/2011]

Here you go guys. Credit for the base goes to Whitehawkx, luckyduck69, and joedev for KD1, I just took the tar, re-deodexed, and made it CWM Flashable with unters deodex program.
If you have the update.zip (CWM Beta1) on your sd, please upgrade to Beta2.

No, you need the Clockwork mod in order to flash the update. Check out the CWM thread and it will explain how to set it up. Once you have clockwork, all you need to do is go into the Clockwork recovery and select the zip to flash it.

Yes, you do... you place the Update.zip in the root of your SdCard and then boot into Stock Recovery and select Reinstall packages (this will install the update.zip which is CWM Recovery)(U should check the Beta2 Thread for more info)

Oh sorry, I think I misread what he was asking.

Thnx alot

I had issues with market and any version of KD1 (Odin/Heimdall or CWM version). Found out my extra 1500mAh battery was causing me headaches. Are you running the stock battery?

+1.. package installers keeps force closing causing a reboot.. launcher restarts and i lose radio singal entirely.. i had to odin back to whites deodexed kd1

FYI
CWM Beta2 semi bricked phones, re Odin it and try Beta3

When I flashed the rom I lost root and my phone would reboot when I hit the power button to lock the screen. Reflashed whitehawks deodexed KD1 will try it again with CWM beta 3.

[Q] what recovery is use

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??

I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.

Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

There is one for froyo and one for GB.

Um... no. ROM manager does not work as had been stated over and over and over and over and over and over... Yet every day people use it and wonder what went wrong.

If people want to use ROM manager after being warned then
don't come back asking what is wrong with your phone.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

Can't get custom recovery

Hello I used super one click to get root.
I installed Root Explorer.
I know I have root because I get:
#
Then I type su and get
su
But when I try to open root explorer it doesn't prompt me su permissions.
Also ROM Manager won't flash recovery either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App

Download the app 'root checker' and use that to see if you really have root.

here, follow this video carefully... it has all the instructions and a root that includes recovery already on it...

Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App

I use the root checker and it told me that I didn't have root.
I ran Super One Click and did the test again and still the same results.
I can get to su in adb but still can use any app that requires root or flash CWM Recovery.
I am going to try the video method u sent me.
I will post results.
Hopefully I can install the Maximus Ginger ROM.
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA Premium App

Finally Worked
Ok I followed the video tutorial and I finally got root and CWM.
I am now going to attempt to install Maximus Ginger...
If you guys want to use the same method I did download and use this:
http : // tinyurl. com/ Sidekick 4GALLin One
Delete all the space in between
Its an all in one Root and Recovery...
Hope this helps those who had the same issues as me...
Thank u all for your help...

Its actually 4.0.0.2 if you're going to be anal about it...
I'm pretty sure downloading cwm from rom manager doesn't flash a voodoo recovery (3.0.0.2).

ROMs wont install
Ok so now I have ran my SK4G through odin 5 times...Going on 6...
Root and Recovery work perfectly with that method...
But everytime I install a ROM I get stuck at the boot screen with my sidekick vibrating and restarting....
Everywhere I read it talks about the Mounts... Yes I know they are very important...
So I make sure they are what they are supposed to be when flashing the ROM...
But once the ROMs install it reboots automatically and I cant change the mounts...
I have tried both Smooth Maximus and Maximus Ginger, Lightning ROM, and Clean Fusion...
The same thing happens to me after I install any of these ROMs....
It always reboots after the installation...
Has anyone ran into this issue or can help me figure out what to do now...
Thanks Guys

i tryed both oneclick and this way allinone i am rooted but cant ger recovery to work i get
andriod system recovery samsung recovery utils but not clock works

After you use the All in One download ROM Manager.
Then Flash the SK4G Recovery through there.
For some reason you have to reboot into CWM recovery only by using ROM Manager.
If you reboot manually or through adb you are going to have to choose install packages then CWM Recovery will load.
I am still stuck with no custom ROM...
every rom that I install soft bricks my device and then I have to use odin to restore.
Does anyone know of a ROM that I can flash through odin that is nice like Smooth Maximus or Similar?
Thanks

Which recovery for non kexic boot?

Once and for all, it's so freaking confusing since the bootloader has been unlocked, which recovery do I flash if I use a non kexic Rom, and if I don't want the triple boot?
Thanks in advance.

CWM touch 5.8.X.X (X's because i cant remember the last two numbers) or TWRP. Both of which can be flashed using EZ Recovery.

Totally safe to re flash cwm. It's just a newer version.
