ClockWorkMod Recovery on I9003

Hi guys,
I want to know if there is any way to enter the clockworkrecovery from the recovery console. I tried doing this but get an error that the zip is not signed. I want to flash roms on my phone.
I also came accross androidcommander, but don't know how to use it. Please help.

What custom ROM? I hope you aren't trying to flash a i9000 ROM onto this.

Nope, I came across an HTC sense and some i9000 live wallpapers and to install them we need to flash their zip files from the recovery mode. The 3e recovery mode performs sign check and that's an head ache. Every time the update.zip fails to install.

Use adb or root explorer or any file manager with root access and having ability for mounting system partition.

I guess it has to be rooted first?
let me change the question.
Could I root it via terminal instead of via fastboot/recovery?

Please help - Installing Custom Rom

Just got an One X today from Rogers. I'm interested in rooting and installing the Cleanrom 3.11. I just want to confirm the steps I need to do in order to get it to work.
1. Root the phone using the following method:

2. Install the rom from this link using CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667463
I want to confirm that using the above mentioned rooting method, CWM will be installed on my phone. If so, how do you boot into CWM using the one X. Please let me know.
Regards,
Xin

that rooting method only applies for att devices
unlock at htc dev
install cwm or twrp
install rom
by the way, wrong section...............................................................................

I cannot root Rogers One X using the above mentioned one click method? If so, what method should i use to root Rogers One X.

Use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1633071

Does CWM come with the root or I have to install it? If so, can i get CWM from the playstore?

Devs have made it very convenient to do. Simply put, find the files in the forums, plug your phone in, and run them and it will push recovery to your phone.

The basic steps are:
1. Root the phone.
2. Unlock the bootloader - using the HTC Dev method mentioned above.
3. Install ClockWorkMod (CWM).
4. Boot into CWM, back up your current stock ROM. Reboot into your OS.
5. Download a custom ROM (or multiple) onto your device.
6. Boot into CWM again, use CWM to flash the custom ROM.

You have to install it. Just find the thread for cwm in the dev section and it will give you all the information you need.

[Q] Unlocked bootloader and root 2.20, but now can't install twprp recovery

Hey Guys So i was able to successfully unload my bootloader and root my phone via 2.20 root temp method. Now i've run into a wall where I seem to be following the directions, but can't seem to get it to work.
So after my phone was unlocked etc after the whole token thingy... (Sorry this is my first time since 3-4 years ago that i have rooted.. Last phone was a Droid X so excuse my ignorance).... Anyhow so my phone got reset and all and booted back and everything was fine and working.. Now according to the thread in order to flash a ROM of my choice i need to install some sort of Recovery tool. The instructions say to install TWRP-2.3.1.0-evita.img. I have put the .img on the same folder c:android that i have created where i have the adb, fastboot files. I open up a command prompt window and run the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img and it says "waiting for device" and get's stuck there and nothing happens.
According to the post it is supposed to install it and restart my phone automatically, however nothing happens. I am afraid if i reboot my phone and try again that my temp root will go away and will have to redo-everything all over again. Additionally I have tried the market place method where you download "Goomanager" and install the twrp img via menu>openrecoveryscript and choose to download, however i get an error when attempting to download. Can someone point me in the right direction. And will i lose temp root if i reboot my phone?
"Hey guys i just notice i did not run the "adb fastboot" command to tell my phone to reboot first prioer to trying to flash the twrip image. Sorry"

Did you get superuser and busy box from the playstore?

I just downloaded superuser and busybox. Also i downloaded root checker and when i click on check root it says my phone is NOT PROPERLY ROOTER. Can this be because of how HTC ONE X gets temp rooted and this app doesn't work properly? How can i check for sure if i'm rooted? I mean i can get into TWRP recovery and everything with no issues. Thanks.

I believe that because you did not download superuser before reboot. I think you lost root. Might want to try again.

So after i Ran the run.bat and did the entire cid and then token thingy from HTC site and unlocked my bootloader the phone rebooted on it's own.
I believe i need to install superuser via recovery or flash a rom first then install not sure.. the way the dev wrote this phrase is confusing to me.. Check it out...
10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).
I mean every step form 1-9 all went successfully. Can you provide me with some tips ?

Oh OK. I get it. Give a sec I'll post what you need.

Thanks for helping me out, much appreciated. Also look's like i will need to find the superuser file somewhere online. I believe it needs to be inside a .zip. If i need that can you please provide that info on the instructions. Thank you so much for helping me.

Thank you my friend. Now i need to figure out a ROM to install that has Jelly Bean and everything works. Do you have any recommendations that will work with AT&T HTC ONE XL? I'm currently about to flash the superuser, thanks.

So i did not download the CM recovery as i already had the TWRP recovery installed prior to my post. I put the superuser zip file in my CD Card then i adb reboot recovery within command prompt which brought me into the Team Win Recovery Project V2.3.1.0, I then selected install and choose the superuser zip file you linked me to download, however it fails with errors. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

I think this all has to happen before rebooting after the new root process. So CID, then flash recovery, load and flash superuser, then reboot. I'm not sure how others are getting it to stick. I'm rooted on 1.85 with both my HOX's

Im reading line 10 again and i think i need to install a custom rom first via flashboot then boot into recovery to install the superuser zip file. Read this again and tell me what you think?

1. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom "recovery" = twrp partition via fastboot,
2. boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su
I think I'm spot on with my last post.

What would be the ADB shell command to install lets say a file labelled superuser.zip ?

I've never tried nor know if possible to flash a zip in fastboot. To the best of my knowledge it has to be a image file.

Alright thanks and sorry for all these questions. I'm going to try to flash a ROM like they recommended. By flashing the boot.img first then the rest of the rom. Thanks for all your help and sorry for anything.

GO into fastboot and try this one click method for recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1419624&d=1350837439
Don't be sorry. I'm wishing someone who has acomplished this could jump in. I wish I was more help.

How to [ROOT] 4.3 19505GUEUBMH1 Google Play Edition I9505G

Hey Everyone
This is a quick and easy tutorial on how to root your Google Play Edition Galaxy S IV I9505G that was updated to 4.3 JWR66V. I noticed that the old method was not working even while trying to update from Google Play
Once again thanks to CHAINFIRE, and TEAM WIN RECOVERY PROJECT
I have tested and rooted my own device using this method.
1. Download Odin 3.07 and the Samsung USB drivers if you don't have them
2. Download the SuperSU attachment put it on your phones sdcard and the TWRP recovery attachment at the bottom of the post
3. Unlock your Bootloder ( power off phone, hold volume down and volume up and the power till you boot into bootloader.
4. In ADB type fastboot oem unlock ( please note this will wipe your device)
5. Once your booted up power off your phone and boot into Download mode
6. Flash the I9505 CFAUTO ROOT package HERE, it will not have the binaries yet you will update those in 7,8. (Unzip CF Auto Root package and flash the Auto Root .tar file from the Odin 1.85 program inside that zip.
7. Next Open up Odin and put the recovery.tar file in the PDA slot ( only AUTO REBOOT is checked ) press start
8. Once recovery is installed boot into TWRP and install the Update SuperSU zip file that you put on your sdcard to update the binaries
That's it you rooted 4.3

im getting a fail message
followed step bye step
the original CFAUTO ROOT. am i flashing that with stock recovery or odin???

Well it worked for me. You Odin CFAUTO ROOT and recovery. You put the updated SU binary in your phone. You reboot into your new recovery, flash the file.

When you install the CF Auto Root I9505 package and you open up SuperSU it will say "SU Binaries not installed" when you try to open it up. After that you install the TWRP recovery and install the Update-SuperSU from TWRP to update the binaries and then you get Root

I followed your directions on my i9505g 4.3 through step 8 and the phone is stuck in TWRP recovery. It will not reboot into system, only into recovery.

Is it possible to do this without using TWRP? With 4.2.2 I'd just Odin the auto-root and it would prompt to update the binaries on reboot. Would that not work with this too? Or is there more that's different here?

Is it possible to go back to stock recovery after everything is done or are we supposed to stay on TWRP?

This thread is closed we are consolidating everything here
