This is a noob friendly tutorial for using clockworkmod recovery. Every basic thing required is explained in detail.

}
you can go into recovery mode by pressig ( volume up + power button)
To move between the options of the recovery, use the volume up/down buttons to navigate, and power button to select any option.
TO FLASH A ROM/MOD THROUGH RECOVERY:
go to install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard> click on the rom of mod you want to flash/install.(remember to clear data,cache,dalvic-- read it below)
TO MAKE A BACKUP AND RESTORE:
The major feature of recovery is to backup your rom, so that if something unusual happens to your device(softbrick), you can go to recovery, and mend it.
Go to backup and restore, click on backup, to create a backup and click on restore to restore the backup image. Backup file takes about 500 mb of space(it varies with devices).
Make sure that your device is 30% charged, before carrying out these operations, as the process may take time.
before flashing a rom, do these wipes
1. wipe data/factory reset
2. wipe cache partition
3. advanced > wipe dalvic cache
If you dont do these, you me end up in a bootloop. in other words, your device will not start.
after completion, click on reboot system now.
at last, as you read in every post, i am not responsible for any bricked device.

Hello!
I really need your help, I'm stuck!
I'll try to explain what happened.
I decided to change my Samsung Captivates ROM, did all stuff which was listed in tutorials 1:1.
Downloaded Clockwork recovery manager, created that update.zip file using it.
Moved my new ROM to sd card. Then selected an option "Install rom from sd card" in Clockwork recovery manager.
Phone rebooted...
And that's all, know I can't do completely nothing, I mean I just cant use volume and power buttons to select items in menu. It's just frozen.

I found similar topic, maybe this is reason?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=869781
Anyway, I need you help, as that topic didn't helped me, as I dont know what people were talking about there.
I can view internal memory files using Droid Explorer, but I can't view sdcard's data to remove that update.zip...
What can I do in this situation?
Many thanks!
that is just worst day for me. After applying older version of Clockwerk, I was able to select in recovery menu.
I selected format user data, and after selected to install Fenix rom.
During installation, some kind of error occurred. And only thing i can see, it is At&t flash logo on my screen.
If I try to enter into recovery mode, power button (select) isn't working, only up and down buttons are working...
just one question:
What should i do? damnit...

Hi,
I was trying to install a ROM this was my very first time I never did this before. I started ODin, attached my phone in download mode, provided .tar file in PDA and clicked START. A few command ran in ODin console and then my phone display was gone and nothing further happened in ODin console. I waited for long but no progress. I detached my phone and tried to restart it in order to revert back to my previous ROM. But I am seeing only this screen and I am stuck here:

I was installing ROM from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843019
I was following these steps provided on another thread:
Instructions - ODIN (long)
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.zip
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start ODIN
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Root-xxx-vX.X.tar
- Put your phone in download mode
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure repartition is NOT checked
- Click the START button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
flash oficcial rom with odin 2.3.3 2.3.4
and then go to recovery mod (home key+power button) then click install zip form sd card and then pick that rom and then do factory reset and wipe cache reset
and then reboot
Hi mv_style,
I tried flashing official rom with odin. Everything ran successfully in oDin. But when I rebooted my phone it shows the start screen and then restarts and this repeats infinitely.
Can you please let me know whats the problem and how can I fix it?
Thank
Did you try reflashing it again, after factory reset and wipe?
Ok press Power buttom + Home buttom and select wipe data factory reset and than reboot the phone.
Install clockworkmod and wipe all ...it wuold be the solution

ROM is cleaned with titanium Backupo from multiple CyanogenMod apk's - iff you miss something, youll have to find it yourselves!
I used CWM Recovery: v 4.0.1.4 but it should work with any...
1. Unpack downloaded rar, there will be folder 2012-02-21-17.03.40
2. move that folder on your sdcard to clockworkmod/backup
3. Reboot and do nandroid BACKUP OF YOUR ROM - Just In Case!
4. Go to recovery and do:
Main menu:
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Mount And Storage menu:
format /boot
format /cache
format /system
format /sd-ext
Advanced menu:
wipe Dalvik cache
5. go to backup and restore, select restore and choose folder 2012-02-21.17.03.40 - confirm with Yes
6. when its done, select reboot system now, after you type PIN WAIT for 30 seconds and Voila!

sorry for my english, the backup works great.
I installed CWM 4.0.1.4 on my stock U8650 and installed your rom. Works great but now I cannot restore my stock rom (original non-root). CWM generates an error when restoring the data.img. Any ideas how to fix this?
parts of mine arent in English!!!!!!!!!!
Edit: disregard, you have to change the language to English in settings, my bad
Is there a chance to get another download location?
Everything works great, but i cant login to twitter widget. Is there any fix for that?

Suggestions for "Error mounting /sdcard"?
Rooted my TF101 and have the rogue/cwm recovery installed. I tried a Nandroid backup, but it anything to do with the SD card gives the above error.
I have a microSD in the tablet, too.

Figured it out. Came across a thread I'd missed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138346&highlight=error+mounting+sdcard afterwards, worked like a charm.
I have rooted my nexus s 4g using sdk method, I'm thinking of diving into installing the cm-10 but need instructions. Pardon if by chance I'm in wrong forum, but they wouldn't let me swim in the developer pool yet.
Welcome to the world of flashing
WARNING!! this will delete all your apps and data so use a program like titanium backup to backup all of your apps and data.
1. Make sure you have CWM Recovery installed. (If not, download rom manager from the play store and flash it.
2. Download the rom you wish to install, and put it on the root of your sdcard. Plus the gapps if there are any.
3. Turn your phone off and hold the volume + button and power button at the same time to boot into the bootloader. Navigate using the volume buttons and select recovery using the power button. If you have the touch recovery you can use touch otherwise use volume keys and power button.
4. Go into backup/restore and click backup and scroll down and hit yes. (This makes a NANdroid, which is a backup of your stock rom. If anything goes wrong or stuck in a bootloop or just having problems, you can restore your stock rom using this)
5. Hit wide data/factory reset, wipe cache and then go into advanced and click wipe dalvik cache.
6. Go back and click install from sdcard and then choose from sdcard and then choose the rom you want to install.
7. Reboot and it should take about 5 Mins to reboot. (dont worry, everytime you install a new rom, it will take a little longer than usual)
8. Once rebooted, you will be asked to set up your phone like when you first got it.
Well done you just installed your first rom
Happy flashing.
Read this three times, then do it... this has every step from a new phone, so you may skip a couple steps.

Welcome to the NS4G club...now to down to businesses. If you want the east way just use ROM Manager it currently has a CM10 ROM in burnsa. Make sure on the options before flashing you select all 3. So you have a back up and a clean flash. Have fun
