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.

Rom Manager has a rom for the HTC Doubleshot too

I'd say Doubleshot is looking mighty good with official CWM recovery and CM7

I saw it and about sh+t myself. Today is great day for doubleshot community.

I am also very new to this. So what about the current Modaco CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9? It will still be there but it won't be used? Do we also access nandroid backups from ROM manager? (So in other words, will we only do everything with ROM manager from now on?)

ROM Manager is just a way to access CWM Recovery. If you flash the official CWM Recovery, it will overwrite Modaco's version.

Woot. No more charging issues. Thanks for the heads up.

I know rite? First, I figured out how to jungle with noc on LoL, and now this? Wins all around.

Installed new recovery through rom manager, to 5.0.2.7 and rebooted into recovery.
All seems well.
BUTTTTTTTT when i tried to do a backup of my current virtuous rom i get an error: "can't mount target path"
And then when testing the restore i get an error: "can't mount path /sdcard"
And when testing the wipe & format options, instead of the traditional Yes or No.... I now have like 10 No options and 1 Yes option.
Something seems bogus, ive reinstalled the recovery twice but same effect.
Anyone??
Whats happened to my recovery guys???

I went back to 4.0.0.9 and I can backup/restore again.
Something with the latest recovery doesn't allow my device to mount and see/work with my sd card..... any advice people?
Where can i get the img file so i can try to flash after a fastboot erase wype.... However i dont see how everyone else has it working and mine mashed.

[Q] How does one update recovery?

I've noticed people mentioning running CWM Recovery 5.5.0.x on their i9023, however the CWM website lists 5.0.2.0 as the latest available recovery for i9023.
Where do I get these newer versions and how do I flash them?

Download from (get the crespo image for the Nexus S) and flash it with fastboot.
Start your phone in bootloader mode, connect it to your pc and run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo.img
for instance.
Or you can use ROM Manager and donate for the Touch-version. Then you can just flash it from there.

So... 5.0.2.0 is the latest non-touch recovery available for the nexus s?

Yes. And you can always update those with ROM Manager; even the free version.

That I know. However I have the premium version of Rom Manager but it won't let me flash the touch recovery. It says "error while downloading from server" and that I might not have an internet connection and/or sufficient space on my SD card.

You need to buy the touch recovery with rom manager to flash with rom manager

Indeed, they want you to pay again to be able to use the Touch Recovery with ROM Manager, although you can install it manually with fastboot for free. I'm wondering if that will change in the future, because it seems logical to me that the development of the regular CWM will end in a while, and the Touch Recovery will become the default.
Maybe the licenses for ROM Manager Premium will increase in price; we'll see.

I just downloaded it from the site and then used the flash gui app and all was good.

You can also try TWRP recovery!!

Sent from my S3 via Taptalk

If you haven't already, download Rom Manager from the play store here.
Open the app, and go to the Recovery Setup section and you can update it from there.

Try this

Can anyone please provide me with the latest s3 Verizon CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 odin flashable tar file?
Thanks in advance!

I made tar.md5's here of 6.0.2.8 for you guys of both touch and regular, you can get them here
http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/recoveries/
I'm going to recommend that you DO NOT use the dd method posted above. Its dangerous. If you were to type the wrong partition, you could very easily brick your device.
If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
Or use rom manager
Or....find some other way....dd is dangerous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

Definitely the easiest method! Just did it two days ago using this method
Its free for the non touch version, or like $1 or $2 for the touch version, well worth it!

I have always used the dd method to flash recoverys to my phone, but I always make sure everything is typed correctly in terminal emulator before I press enter. With this new information I will no longer use dd commands for anything.

I just updated via ROM Manager to Clockwordmod 6.0.2.9 and once I booted into recovery and did a backup, I was unable to reboot the system. I was able to reboot the phone via power + home button power on and installed Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.2.9. I also had the same problem with Clockworkmod touch where it wouldn't reboot the phone.

how?

For those getting stuck in recovery loop...
Reboot in odin (power+volumedown+home) and select cancel.
Tokedup found this link for previous versions...use ez recovery to flash img files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096735

is this a known issue with the latest CWM? i ran into the recovery loop, too.

Using EZ Recovery and those recovery img files at that link work for me to get an older recovery installed. Also verified that I can successfully reboot the phone from recovery again.

It is. I keep getting a "no MD5 file not found" message

Make sure you're on the latest version of TWRP. I believe it ends in ".1".
Otherwise just use CWM instead. You can install that with a free app called Flashify very easily.

Easiest way is to restore with odin
then using Casual All in one
Root, Flash Insecure aboot
go to google play download Rom manager then install CWM
or try just download rom manager then install CWM replace TWRP

Problem is I'm still in TWRP recovery, as I've been unsuccessful with flashing any ROM (so far). Do I need to have an operating system installed in order to install CWM?
