Do I have to install CWM if its already embedded in the kernel...the problem I have is when I tried I don't get the att captivate option just the i-9000...which is odd since I'm not running anything based on that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
If CWM is already in the kernel, you shouldn't have to install it. As far as seeing i9000, where are you seeing that?
Are you using ROM Manager?
I was using rom manager....but everytime I wanted to do anything it wanted to flash the recovery..and the device option window would pop up and only provide i9000

1. If the CWM is integrated with Kernel, you dont need to install it.
2. DO NOT use ROM Manager with such kernels. If you need to flash anything, place zip on your sdcard, reboot in recovery (use extended power menu, or adb or 3 button combo) and install zip from CWM recovery.
Thanks I stopped using rom manager awhile ago....my preferred install method is either Odin or in recovery. I was just curious why CWM gave me that option

I ran into a very similiar problem. Now I stick with just copying over a zip and using recovery for pretty much everything - especially ROM updates!
After much consideration I decided to root and install ICS from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354263 following this guide.
I rooted successfully and used ROM Manager to make a backup. When I came to installing the mod, my phone is just stuck on this screen -> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7960393/IMG_20111125_125549.jpg
It has been like that for about 15 minutes. Can anybody help me?
Thanks
EDIT: Apparently clockworkmod recovery got wiped :s
Flash a new cmw with fastboot and you'll be set.

Have you tried do go through the steps of the one click root process again? (assuming that is how to you rooted your phone the first time)
If you can boot into the OS, flash cwm twice in a row using Rom Manager. It takes two flashes to get the recovery to stick.
If no OS, push the cwm file using adb.

I rooted my phone with the quick root tool from noxious Nina. I want to flash a new kernel so overclocking is capable. can I just install and run the vzw ez unlock from the play store or do I have to completely flash a new Rom and all on my phone? any help would be appreciated. thanks.
The EZ unlock tool works great!!! Just make sure you flash the correct kernel.... AOSP kernel for AOSP base ROMs and a stock/touchwiz kernel for stock/touchwiz ROMs. Most of the ROMs floating around have a kernel built in specific to that ROM. Happy flashing and make a nandroid before anything!!!!

I have everything backed up with TB. do you know of a good stable stock Rom kernel that can be overclocked.
Synergy is stable and good. I have been running that since the beginning. I am gonna jump to ParanoidAndroid this weekend since most of the bugs have been worked out. You can search around for the most compatible OC apps and methods. I normally leave things be unless I need to change them.

Ok soooooooooooo I have another question. I'm looking at flashing clean kernel. I want to use vzw ez recovery. Has any one done just a kernel with this app and how did you do it. Just select your image and click flash or reboot recovery. I have done research on this but I have yet to find a solid answer on how to do it.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I normally just reboot to CWM and flash away.... I don't use EZ for anything other than choosing recovery and unlocking the bootloader. If you're not on a custom ROM you can use EZ to boot into recovery after flashing the recovery of your choice.

So if I use ez and flash into COM 6.0 then I can go into download mode with vol up home and power then just boot to any Rom that way?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I don't know if it still applies but you aren't supposed to flash kernels with ez recovery.. I did that once and got stuck in a boot loop. That should be used for recoveries only. Use that to flash cwm and go to where you downloaded your kernel..most likely your download folder and flash it. But as stated before make sure your kernel applies to your ROMs tw=tw aosp = aosp no crossing. I personally still use cwm 6 although that was a recovery for kexec methods..it can still be used...for flashing ROMs make sure you know if you have to wipe data and cache as well. You can get into some nasty boot loops and bricks if you don't. I personally do a nandroid and then wipe everhthing then flash a new ROM...just a force of habit. I hope this helps..hit the thanks button if this helps you at all.

Also to add to your question..you flash ROMs from cwm recovery. Download mode is used for Odin to flash stock ROMs and stock rooted ROMs. To boot into cwm from an off state its power volume up and home at the same time. From there back up using the backup option and once that is complete wipe data/wipe cache then go to install zip from SD card or ext SD card wherever you downloaded the new rom and flash that and don't panic if your phone doesn't boot up right away (hanging at the boot animation screen) the first boot always takes the longest.

I have flashed many 4.3 Roms and can not get any of them to boot. I have followed all install instructions but can't get past gs3 screen. Any ideas?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
im having a similar problem to yours..i mean after i do a fresh install+gapps it works..but after i go back to recovery and install my other files it wont go past the gs3 logo no idea why.
Yep frustrating any other ROM is OK just 4.3 not working, sucks.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I've flashed every 4.3 and all booted. Try just flashing ROM first. Let sit a few minutes then flash gapps. I also use the eclipse ROM gapps for all. No issues.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I also have the same problem when I try to reboot on 4.3 Roms. First boot up is fine. But when I go into to recovery it won't boot back up unless I reflash the ROM from the start. If someone tries flashing ROM and gapps separately let us know if it fixes it.

Tried eclipse ROM and apps. No different. Initial boot works and ROM runs fine but reboot freezes up on gs3 screen. What is getting scrambled and is there a way to fix this.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I've never had this issue. What I've done/used to flash all 4.3 roms was use the super wipe tool found in the general section(the one that wipes data, system and caches only) and then run it once and flash Rom+ gapps as instructed. I use twrp as well. Also, perhaps it's a stock 4.3 kernel and maybe flash a kernel straight after you flash the rom and gapps. Rom> gapps>kernel . Hope it helps

Use ez recovery to flash the ROM or install cwm and then flash through that?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I had a similar problem when I first tried 4.2 but I've found two ways that have always worked for me
Full wipe (I wipe everything 3 times, but I'm sure that's overkill)
Flash rom
Flash gapps
Reboot
If it gets stuck on any screen wipe the cache and dalvik cache
Reboot
The other method I've only used with Dirty Unicorns
Full wipe
Flash rom
Reboot
Once the rom reboots, reboot back into recovery
Flash gapps
Reboot
Wait 10 minutes
You can either reboot again or just use as is
But if nothing is working you can odin back to stock
Then use this tool to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash the custom recovery of your choice http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332825 (it even works on a mac)
(This is what I always use to root, unlock the bootloader, and flash recovery whenever I have to flash back to stock)
After I do that I always reboot and use Rom Manager to flash the latest recovery before flashing anything else.
These 2 roms have been 100% stable for me

It seems that most ROMs will boot up fine with the latest TWRP recovery. But there are a few that will only boot up with CWM. So download both recoveries and flash them using ez recovery when one of them isn't working.
So, I usually stick with TWRP 2.6 as my default. The great thing about ez is that it includes cwm in it. First off I'd make sure you're running the latest recovery available. Then if that doesn't work restore your backup, hopefully you made one, and flash cwm and try reflashing the ROM. Assuming you're wiping everything at least 3 times and flashing the correct ROM with the correct gapps, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. And another thing. It's never a good idea to restore data from any app, ever. Trust me, I know.

You do realize that the recoveries built into ez recovery are over a year old. I wouldn't flash those under any circumstances. Only use ez recovery to flash from the custom slot.

Hello,
today I tried to put CWM on my old Galaxy fit using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19204364 so then I could upgrade it and then install a ROM, I did the Odin Multidownloader process and it looked like it worked, but I wanted to test it and I didn't know how to use the CWM I just installed, so I went to ROM Manager and from there I tried to do the CWM Recovery option and when it started to reboot, it got like stuck in the Samsung logo and some kind of bootloop, the only thing I can do is press the home-volume up-power button so I can go to the Downloading... screen.
What can I do?
Does anyone know?
Thanks
I would recommend using download mode and Odin to flash a stock Rom. Once u do that and root ur phone again I suggest getting twrp. Seems to work better for me and easy to install.,

Which version of cwm did you install?
Installing Stock Roms
First, download the stock rom of your choice from samfirmware.com
Then download beni.ops and Odin Multidownloader
Remove the sim card and memory card of your phone, and put it in download mode
Next, run Odin, and connect your phone to your windows computer. Odin should respond as detected. Then, select “Ops” as beni.ops. (Doing this would disable all other fields except “One Package”)
After this, select your desired stock rom in “One Package”.
Do not alter any other option other than those mentioned, let them remain as they are.
Make sure that the color of “COM PORT MAPPING” is yellow, and then click “Start”.
Odin will start giving different responses, and the timer in Odin would also start…now all you have to do is wait till Odin completes flashing (You will get a message “Pass”, usually within 10 minutes)
Note: Do not disconnect you phone while the process is on, and till you get that “Pass” message.
After this, it is optional but advised that you reboot into recovery mode and wipe data, otherwise you *may* face bootloops.[/list]

Question 1: can you enter recovery!? By holding power + home buttons.
Question 2: are you sure you downloaded the correct ROM from the Samsung ROMs website (the correct ROM means the latest link from your carrier).
Edit: don't forget to take out the USB cable after the flashing is done.
Depending on your answer:
Try to redo the procedure without installing custom recovery (just flash thru download mode via Odin the downloaded ROM for your device) and see if it boots (first boot takes a long time so just wait.
If you're trying to install ONLY the cwm recovery be sure you are getting the one meant for beni (other will not work).

Yes, I already knew, I tried to install CWM 5..
I can make it through the Downloading page, I cant get into recovery mode and if I do the ODIN CWM process again I can get into the original rom, but when I try to reboot, it gets into the bootloop, what do I do?
I wasn't able to download the stock rom from Sammobile.... :crying:

Here you can get stock ROM :

Be sure you follow the instructions in Odin.
Are you sure you can't get in recovery with home + power!? Seems strange. Try to reinstall CWM recovery thru download mode then try to get into recovery mode. You can find more than five Odin flash able recoveries in XDA for fit. Try all.
Good luck!

That's why seems odd he can't get in recovery mode. From what I understand:
1. He flashed stock ROM (or he tried to)
2. Then he tried to flash CWM recovery and now gets bootloop at Samsung screen.
Actually this happened to me once and I had to reflash stock ROM first then cwm recovery thru Odin.

Well now on your phone is 6045 recovery which works ONLY with Cyanogenmod 11. Go to yajnab's thread and download the alpha5. Put it on your SD and flash though recovery mode (recovery mode : keep power + middle button "home" pressed until you enter recovery mode). Wipe data, cache and dalvik (Dalvik from advanced). Press install from SD card and navigate to where you put the zip downloaded earlier. Select it.... Wait... Wait.... After that wait some more... Then you can enjoy CM11 aka KitKat.
If you want a different ROM (cm7 - cm10.2) flash an older custom recovery and do the same as above.
Flashing is simple and practice makes it perfect. After all you have a Fit for spare.
Remember that different ROMs might have different flashing instructions so ALWAYS read the OP in the ROMs thread.
Enjoy!

Have you installed your ROM using 6045 cwm recovery!? Or you installed the 6045 recovery after installing ROM!?
Yajnab says:
Code:
This Recovery will only support Ext4, Ext3 or Ext2 formatted Custom ROMs.
No RFS support has been included here.
So dont come with the issues when having any stock ROM or stock based RFS custom ROM installed.
The Device wont boot up
So, honestly I didn't tried to install other rom than cm11 on this recovery.
