Hi guys!!! It's been years since I was last here, I suddenly decided to upgrade my GT S7500 to custom firmware but I have a problem.
While I was at work today, I decided to play with my phone, to make recovery through ClockWorkMod, since I was goin to flash a custom FW through CWM later at home.
My GTS7500 is running a semi-custom ROM, I have changed it years ago and cant remember the exact changes but it's almost same as the vanilla ROM, with minor bugfixes.
I haven't booted CWM in years so I can't remember doing anything or having any problems in the past.
So I unlocked my phone and clicked the CWM Mod icon, the app starter and then I selected to 'Boot into CWM"
My phone rebooted and I am now into CWM.
I haven't done anything, but I am stuck in the recovery.
I screwed around holding some buttons and stuff, and I managed to get to ODIN (as far as I remember this is the screen to flash firmware through USB) but this didn't help me.
I tried removing the battery for hours and it didn't help.
I have my ROM backup on my microSD flash card, from 2012.
What should I do?
Should I select "Restore Boot" from the CWM recovery?
Or should I attempt to flash the new custom ROM straight ahead?
The screen says: CWM-Based Recovery v5.0.2.8
Thanx in advance!
HI guys a quick update: I managed to mount the storage of the phone and microSD to my PC through USB from withing the CWM recovery menu, I am backing up all the data on my laptop.
I found a file called 'exitrecovery.zip' on my microSD card, may be this is the fix I need? May be I got the same problem years ago when I reflashed the stock FW but I cant remember? Thanx again for all suggestions!
PS: I only managed to 'mount' the micro SD card from within CWM Recovery, for some reason I cant mount the internal phone storage, which is bad since I need to recover my contacts and phone numbers!
FIXED IT!!!
Seems like the CWM Recovery was not installed properly!!!
I installed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2359572
Through my current CWM recovery and now it seems to be working fine!!!
Thanx to this DEV!!!
PLEASE RECOMMEND ME A GOOD ROM!!!! WITH LESS BLOATWARE AND FASTER EXPERIENCE!!!
TOGO FLASH PEGASUS or ACECPLUS or INSPIRATION???
Which one is best?
Which aps to install?
Thanx in advance for all reading this!

Hey guy's I am running CWM on my EEPAd and until recently I was running revolver mod pre ICS. I downloaded ROM manager from the market place to get the back-up of the Revolver ROM. After I installed rom manager and started the back-up it froze half way and rebooted my transformer. When the tablet rebooted it went into recovery automatically and I seem to have lost the revolver mod after trying different methods to fix it I did a full format on my SD-card and I still can't get CWM to read the updated files on my sdcard. On a side note CWM only reads what was on the SD card before the update even after i for mated it having nothing on there. And if I try to use a previous recovery I just get a "mD5" dosent match error sign.
I hope you can help.
Hello all,
Last night I was trying to install the latest Gummy release on my Verizon Galaxy S3. This was the first time I have tried to flash a rom on this phone. It failed, and I rebooted my phone, and now it will only boot into the clockwork recovery.
I thought it may have been damaged as i was transferring the file to the device. I had an SD card in my droid X, So I put it in my Galaxy and formatted it with clockwork. Then I transferred the gummy release (that I also re-downloaded) from my computer to the SD card via a memory card reader. I put it in my Galaxy and tried to install the release, and it gave me a different error
Code:
E: Can't Open /external_sd/Gummy-2.1-01-09-14-NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Edit: Tried a few other roms and they had the same issue, but Cyanogen Mod 10.2 worked. Anybody have any guesses why?
Edit2: Further developments, Trying to do the latest nightly fir the CM yields the same issue that Gummy's release gave me initially. It reports as follows:
Code:
E: Error in /external_sd/cm-11-20140110NIGHTLY-d2vzw.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Is there possibly a firmware issue at play?
Did u unlocked ur recovery. And if ur trying to flash a KITKAT rom u need the latest clockwork recovery
I'm having this exact issue except I currently have TWRP 2.6.3. I wiped data, cache and internal and it actually booted the below ROM (the first boot) but once I got everything setup and rebooted the device it will not boot beyond recovery. It hangs on the Samsung boot logo. I've tried to restore to a 4.1.2 ROM as well as install 4.3 and 4.1.2 again multiple times but they will not boot. Any direction would be appreciated.

Sorry, forgot to mention, I did unlock with EZunlock. Would the clockwork on the play store be the latest one, or is there another place with more up to date versions?

Do you get the same error on install that I'm getting, ro are the installs finishing, but not booting?
Try goo manager or ez-recovery to install the latest recovery
right now i can think of
factory reset format data. Make sure u backup ur internal
Wen changing from rom to rom is a good thing to do a clean install
get the right gapps.
The 1st boot always takes time at least on me.
Sorry i cant think of more helpful things.. Been drinking
Looks like my recovery just needed an update. Thanks everyone.

Confirmed also an old recovery for me as well. Thank you very much!
Okay, here is the deal...
i have rooted my device and had successfully used cwm and nandroid back up everytime i messed up tweaking. i am sure of using cwm plenty of times.
But eversince the last time i had retrieved the nandroid backup while trying to change a font and went to a bootloop, although i had successfully used cwm again and retrieved my back up, i cannot access cwm anymore. i have tried several times now with the volume button pressed repeatedly after the logo., but it is not working now. I dont know what happend to it. But is there something i did wrong??
I want to use cwm again to update a zip file. That is how i found that cwm is no longer accessible in my droid
Please help :'(
I am using Xperia Miro 5.8 firmware rooted
Thanks in advance

Have you got an unlocked bootloader with a custom kernel with CWM embedded into it?
If not it is possible that CWM was erased from your system partition for some reason. Have you tried reinstalling CWM onto your device?

Forgot to mention that, bootloader is still locked. Is there a chance for cwm to get erased from the system? ?? Can i have cwm permanent by getting bootloader unlocked? ?
I will try reinstalling cwm as you had mentioned. Right now, i am having some difficulties installing a cwm because recently i changed my os to ubuntu and struggling with it
Thanks

It is unlikely it would have, however it is possible. If you unlock your bootloader (if it is possible) you can install a custom kernel like vengeance what has CWM embedded in it meaning you will never lose it.
Good luck on reinstalling CWM.
Hi! I'm new on this forum! I would like to ask for help with my phone contact with the Xperia J! I installed the superuser and CWM was on the phone! The Build number: 11.2.A.0.31 closed bootloaderü! So my problem is that when the USB connect your phone off, turn it on, the sony than that device element hammering the volume - button does not turn recovery mode and my computer freezes, and when the charger to the phone, you can either switch to recovery mode the device! This I would like to ask for help, it is possible to resolve this that does not freeze the machine when I want to put the phone in recovery mode, and that this is not a solution to build speed and that nekelljen, or connect to USB adapter to connect to recovery mode? Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Hi people.
I´m facing a problem with my Tab 2 P3100. Some time ago i´ve installed a costum rom ( cyanogen 10.1 ) and everything was fine, but now after one minute tablet restart and after 1 minute ir restart again and so on. I´ve try to install another recovery by ODIN and with CWM because i have CWM 6.0.1.3, but no success. After try install another recovery, CWM stills there!!!! With ODIN and with CWM the recovery i get a message that "new" recovery is installed, but when i restart recovery 6.0.1.3 stills there. I´ve already try to format sd card, wipe everything, but tablet is the same, with all my apps and configurations, everything i tried is useless. Can anyone help me with this? Tank you...
Sounds like your EMMC lifetime is over... it became read only.
Hi guys,
Yesterday I was about to install a new rom (cm-11.0.0-GT-S5670-beni) on my Galaxy FIT , so I did a factor reset , then installed CWM 5 and then upgraded it to CWM 6.
after this I chose Install from sdcard and i chose zip file of ROM from SDCard. all fine up to here, but after installation is complete, the phone could not boot correctly, it booted to CWM again and again i powerd it off,reboot,factory reset, ... but was unable to get rid of CWM. finally i decided to format /System,So i did and the problem occurred here; now i can't boot to anything! even CWM or stock recovery or etc.
I used Odin to install CWM5 / CWM4 again and again (successfully done) but nothing changed.
fortunately I can get into download mode and Odin detects my phone but not Kies.
is there anyway to get my phone back to life?!
Thx...
