[Q] INSTALL CWM using UBUNTU - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I am trying to install CWM and then Flash a custom ROM on a stock SGH-I727 using Ubuntu 12.04. I don't have access to a widows machine and odin does not work in WINE. Any help would be appreciated.

HELP!!! Clockworkmod not flashing properly Brainmasters ICS and Linux Ubuntu 11.10

I flashed latest clockwork mod after installing brainmasters ics tweaked. When i noticed my mms wasnt working i decided to re flash another rom but when i booted into recovery it got back into fastboot mode and tells me "no boot or recovery img"
I have re flashed all versions through rom manager but they wont stick. I tried to push it with fastboot and my computer but my Ubuntu 11.10 wont recognize my Ns4g. I installed all the android sdk, adb, and fastboot files but when I type ./adb devices its doesn't come up with my device. ./fastboot flash boot recovery3101.img doesnt work either. Juat says <waiting on device>
flash image by GUI
search market for this app and use it to flash kernel image.

1st. post in the correct section. This way you can get your answer quicker and you're not annoying everyone.
2nd. Find yourself a WINDOWS PC and install android SDK and all drivers for your phone to be recognizable. Then follow one of the posts in here to flash recovery.
You could also install ROM manager from the market and use it to flash recovery through it but its always good to have a proper SDK setup for this type of emergency.
This has happened to me before and I have fixed it by flashing the latest cwmr multiple times.
Try using a different USB cable if your com still doesn't recongize it.
PS now I use twrp and i like it a lot better

I didnt see any other NS4g section. Sorry bud.
Would flash image gui work well to flash twrp?
When i use rom manager it says successfully flashes rom but then i reboot and get the sane no boot or recovery img. I dont have access to a windows pc...
Can a mod please move this to the nexus help section?
As stated, reboot from and get rom Manager from market. Try reinstalling recovery or scroll down and there is an option to use older versions and flash an older version.

Make sure you have debug turned on.

I had this happen to me when I first flashed a ICS port. the only thing that worked for me was to dl the Flash Image GUI from the market & flash your cwm file.

might not be what you want to hear, but... maybe start from scratch again. find a guide that lets you revert to the stock image and then reroot. sometimes... you just have to start with a clean slate. good luck man. sounds like a stressful / annoying issue to have.

I just tried to flash twrp and then cwmr 5.0.2.0 with Flash Image GUI and neither of them stuck...
Is it my only option to ask my friends if I can use their computer? I hate loading things on peoples computer. I feel bad...

Im okay with starting over but I cant even get my computer to recognize my NS4G. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and I have Android sdk and fastboot on my computer but when I boot my phone into fastboot it isn't recognized by my computer. All "./adb devices" or "./fastboot devices" brings up is nothing!
If I can get my Linux machine to recognize my phone I would gladly return to stock unrooted and start over.
Flash twice in rom manager. See if that changes anything. Don't reboot between just one after another. Also, in rom manager hit menu and clear download cache before you try flashing.

No ./ its just fastboot
So it should look like
# fastboot devices
# fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Etc.

This happened to me and I was freaking out until I updated super users binary then flashed clockworkmod and it worked fine.

Oops didn't read both pages
I've had this happen to me several times. The problem happens any time I use an app (i.e. Rom Manager or Flash Image GUI) to flash a new recovery.
The only way I've been able to resolve it is to
1. Flash cwm 3.1.0.1 with fastboot
2. Go into recovery and flash cwm 5.0.2.0.
3. DO NOT update CWM when relaunching Rom Manager or like app.

Either work if he is in the right directory.
@OP: Did you follow the Ubuntu guide to have it recognize your device? I'm on Ubuntu and everything works fine for me.

Manual flashing

Question please.
I am looking to root and flash my tf101. I have been doing a lot of reading /searching but I am still curious.
Are you not simply able to nvflash cwm then use cwn to install su.zip as well as whatever rom you like?
My preference is to avoid any toolkit as much as possible [personal preference].
If i missed something please let me know.

You need to download easy flash software and universal naked driver to use nvflash... once you have them rooting and installing CWM is just few mouse clicks away.... once you have cwm you can install any tf101 ROM you want... just remember do not install cwm 5.x.x.x as it reads only internal memory n not external MMC.. also please back up your existing OS with "back and recovery" option which is available in CWM... good luck

I did as you instructed above, it seemed to work fine.
Loaded the naked drivers [0.7] and ran easy flash from a windowx xp machine. tried to load TWRP 2.2.1. Easyflasher says it flashed, the screen says the update was successful, but it basically just seems to have corrupted the recovery [android with red exclamation mark above].
I have a B60 TF101, running 9.2.1.27, unrooted ATM.
Am I missing something as to why this did not work?

Android with red ! is your stock recovery. Try flashing TWRP via Goo Manager.
Get it from Play Store, open Goo manager, Menu (3 dots) and chose Install "OpenRecoveryScript"

SOLVED.
Problem was the PC I was trying to flash with.
Went to a newer Windows 7 based machine, worked perfectly. Great tool. Thanks for the heads up.

Rooting Questions

Im new to this phone. I have it unlocked to run on att. It's running stock 2.3.6. My question is how do I go about rooting it and adding a recovery. And since it's unlocked, does that effect anything? Thank you.
Check out the development section and look for antonx kernel..that will give you cwm recovery and aa lot of neat feature .
Though you might need to flash it with heimdall or use superoneclick to root then flash with sgs kernel flasher

There is also the blastoff kernel. eollie has made a oneclick for it in my signature under oneclicks on the second post of that thread.
The recovery is rooted, but the stock rom is not. So you can install a rooted rom after the heimdall flash.
If you are on froyo, don't forget to flash the oneclick a second time to flash bootloaders.
I rooted with zergrush then just used sgs kernel flasher to flash antonx kernel. Very simple.

See, this is what confuses me. On other phones I've had, you would root, flash a recovery, then your rom and or kernel. It's not the same on this one? I have had the original Epic and it used the OneClick method which rooted and installed the recovery. I'm just kind of lost. Thank you guys for your help and patience.

I believe that for this phone (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the recovery comes with your kernel. To get a custom recovery, you must flash a kernel that has a custom recovery.
Yes pisher you are right

Okay, I got it partially figured out. I tried using the Heimdall method but it appears to be only for 32bit computers and mine is a 64.
I tried finding it but can't, any ideas?

Downgrade Samsung galaxy S3

hello guys.
I have to downgrade from the OMEGA 16.1 JB to the V13 ICS,
does anyone know how to do this? I tried to flash the 13 above the 16.1, but the phone hangs at the loading screen.
You have to go into recovery and do a wipe/factory reset before flashing a different ROM over another ROM

Hey, so every time i install a different rom i do this. But, whenever i try to go to a rom that has ics features on it it just stays in a boot loop. Its really annoying. Right now i am running liquid JB rom. Also, i have tried flashing stock rom but heimdall always says that when i put in the .tar.md5 file that their is no firmware.xml file. Also, since i run ubuntu 12.10, i read the odin does not work properly on ubuntu and i have somewhat tried a virtualbox but have yet to install odin and the stock rom on there. If anyone can help, i know that this is a response to a downgrading thing but its still revelant. So, can anyone help?

Request : CWM recovery for stock recovery JB

since i cant access to my odin someone had a flash-able clockworkmod works with stock recovery?? so i can install a custom rom thanks !!
for p3100
You can't flash anything with the samsung recovery. Only updates. Odin is the only way.
do one simple thing! install kies from samsung website. then attach your device with your pc. it will install adb for your device! now your device will be recognised by odin!!! flash as many things u want then! be sure to close kies before flashing with odin

If you are rooted, you can download ROM manager, it will install cwm without the need of a PC, but again that's if you are already rooted.
