[Q] I cannot get in to CWM - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA
This question must have been asked before, but there are SO MANY threads that i cannot find the right answer.
I have root access with my I9000 and flashed 2.5.1.3 recovery mod with ROM MANAGER.
But i cannot reboot in to CWM. it gets in a small recovery screen where i can apply update.zip and wipe etc. but it is not CWM
How can i fix this? i wish to backup my phone with CWM.
when u use vol up + pwr + home button i get the same samsung recovery.
i also did the 3 button fix.
thanks in advance

not sure but u might be having 3:e recovery(U can check it in ur top coloum of ur recovery mode).If this is the case then u need to flash with custom kernel to make it to 2:e recovery and then can access the CWM.
I flashed it using voodoo kernel(it has inbuilt CWM).
As itskapil said provide some ss so other senior members can help u

[Q] How can i change the Kernel in NOTE?

I'm a x10 user who changed the kernel, baseband and of course ROM of my little 4 inch x10... all with xrecovery and flashtools.
I'm now with the wonderful Galaxy NOTE and I read that here I should use CMW, stock recovery and other like ROM manager.
but I haven't seen anything that matches with my kernel KJ8... so
can I change my kernel to KKA OR KK8 OR SOMETHING ELSE???
IF THAT'S THE CASE... HOW DO I DO THAT?
THANKS 4 READING AND LOT OF THANKS 4 ANSWERING ME...
yes you can use a kka or kk9 kernel without a problem.
First you need to root and accordingly flash a kernel.
In developer section you can find how to do so.

THANKS
I'VE ROOTED MY NOTE. EVEN I'VE INSTALLED THE CWM RECOVERY.... I FOUND THIS TRHEAD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371007
BUT THERE'S NO "HOW TO"
CAN U TELL ME PLZ??
THANKS 4 ANSWERING ME X:3
Enough with the capslock.
1. Boot into recovery.
2. From recovery mode, select wipe cache partition
3. Installed zip from SD card
4. Navigate to the kernel and select it to flash it
5. Reboot
Never under any circumstance flash the KK8 Kernel just yet since there's no way to ROOT it.
@georgegon60 You mentioned that you where on KJ8 and that's why you could ROOT it.
Cheers!

Clock Work Mod Recovery v5.0.2.6 Flashable via Odin

Hello, Everyone!
This is the latest Clock Work Mod recovery version 5.0.2.6 for Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 smartphone. So, if you have got ace (I am sure you do.. LOL!) then, follow the steps carefully to flash this custom recovery on your device.
Thanks to koush (for this recovery ) and others!!!
Disclaimer : Do This At Your Own Risk
I shall not be held responsible for any damage incurred to your device.
Warning! I haven't tested if it works. Want to be the early tester? Go ahead. But, I am pretty sure it will work fine.
Requirements
Make sure you have GB 2.3 and above firmware.
Instructions
1. Download cwm-recovery-ace.tar.md5
2. Run Odin Multidownloader for Ace
3. Select One Package option at the top left.
4. Load Copper_v1.0.ops on OPS field.
5. Load cwm-recovery-ace.tar.md5 in one package field.
6. When everything is set... put your phone in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power button) and then connect it.
7. When Odin says Detected then you are ready to press the start button.
8. Wait till the recovery it flashed and then after Odin says PASS (in top left box) you may disconnect your device.
9. Reboot to recovery mod (Home + Power button) and enjoy new recovery. You can now flash custom roms, do nandroid backups and many more.
Hope! Everything was clear...
Happy Flashing

P.S. Don't forget to say thanks if this thread post is useful...
Reserved.... For future use
Can anyone help me with some of the screenshots or images for this recovery? Thanks!
Nice ,
But why Odin ?
When it's possible to flash it via recovery mode which is much simple ,safe ,time consuming
So no need of Odin !

Ok! Got your points.... But, I thought some other might prefer using Odin rather than flashing via recovery. SO, I posted it.
Also, there is another reason, you guyz don't have clear cut instructions for CWM recovery for ace ... so it will be helpful for noobs out there.
thats great @@
will give it atry
This may help when the phone boots into download mode but fails to boot into recovery mode. After flashing this via ODIN in download mode, the recovery mode may start again. Thanks man

Yup... you got some points there. After you boot to recovery then you can restore your backup and bring your phone to original state. Cheers!
could become very important when you use without having to download the official rom rom manager, and so ....

I am sure it works since I didn't do much except making it flashable via Odin (from this one which was already flashable through CWM recovery) . You can install it from here :

[Q] Boot freeze after trying to install Cyanogenmod

Hello XDA.
Being a tech illiterate noob, I rooted and tried to install the latest nightly build from cyanogenmod on my Optimus 2x. I gave clockworkmod superuser rights, booted in recovery mode and went on with the install.
Everything went fine (I think) until the phone rebooted. When it started, as usual, the LG logo is shown. Normally another LG logo comes up after the first one, only with an purple animation behind it.
When this comes up, it completely freezes at the very first frame of the animation. I tried waiting, I left my phone for over an hour, but nothing changed.
As previously stated, I am pretty tech illiterate, so of course I didn't make a copy of the original rom.
Now I can boot into something called Android system recovery <3e>, which says:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
__________________________
Formatting DATA:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting MISC:...
"
And yes, of course I tried selecting that option, but neither of the keys work. The volume keys work as up and down keys, and the home button shows/hides the options.
I tried downloading the original rom from the giant thread of stock roms, but if you try clicking either of the links, you will see that they are broken.
HELP!
Have you tried the power button yet? Because the power button allows you to select things.
From there wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik) and make a fresh install of cm.

I installed ROM Manager yes. Do you mean that I should install CWM on my memory card? I'm not sure you understood me right, I can't get past the boot menu, meaning I can't install anything via the phone.

Some of the links there are broken, so I can't manage to complete the tutorial.
Also, I am very sorry, but I do not understand what you mean by that last part.
Let's see, you rooted, installed ROM Manager and Clockworkmod Recovery from within ROM Manager, rebooted and from Clockworkmod Recovery (Black Screen with Blue letters, lets you wipe and install zips from SD Card), you flashed the ROM, is that correct?
Can you boot into Recovery by holding the Power + Volume Down buttons? (hold for about 20 secs, until you get to the second LG screen)
If you can get to the recovery mode, try flashing another ROM.

You sir are correct!
I manage to start the phone as you describe, by holding down those two buttons I enter "Android System recovery <3e>", and can choose between the options as I described. HOWEVER, I can't select either of them, trying all the possible buttons (even combinations).
Update: I tried following this guide, but with no luck; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
Good
If you are in Clockworkmod, then you can browse through the menus using volume up/down to move up/down and press the search button (the magnifying glass) to accept or select an option.
I have a Optimus 2X Stockrom, i can upload the rom when i come home (you have to wait about 6 hours sorry ) Then flash the rom in cwm
Sorry for my english :/
Edit: It's the Europe Rom i hope this will help you too

The Europe Open could be what I'm looking for, thanks a lot! It's really hard to come by apparently.
Flashing it in CWM wont be possible though. Perhaps through PC software?
I will upload the Europe Open when i'm back from school.
You can flash the rom ether with cwm or with smartflash.
If you don't know how to flash it with smartflash i can explain it to you

Edit: I'm uploading the Rom now, but it will take some time (about 1 1/2 hours), because i upload with 90 kb/s.
That's your only solution, Flash some Stock ROM with a Tool from LG then root and flash a Custom one if you want.
I hope i can held you with this:

Any particular tools in mind? I have one called smartflash (SmartFlashTool_P990) which requires .bin files.
Hi Dude,
Thanks for the link you uploaded. Can we install this on LG optimus 2x p990 indian model.
By mistake and lack of knowledge i didnt take back up of stock rom, while installing cyanogenmod. Now i want to go back to stock rom.

[Resolved] Rom manager has downgraded my CWM recovery !

Hi there,
I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191 to root and install CWM recovery on my Note XXLRK.
After reboot, I had CWM 6.0.1.4.
Then I installed app I had in my old phone : rom manager. It told me to flash recovery to be able to use it, so I did it.
It flashed to version 6.0.1.2 !
I tried to flash again with root method below but recovery still to 6.0.1.2 now.
I've heard about brick risk when flashing a rom with this version.
How can I upgrade recovery back to 6.0.1.4 ?
Is it dangerous to flash a rom (cyanogen 9.1) with cwm 6.0.1.2 ?
Thanks
Seems I have no answer yet, I'm sorry I have forgotten to say it was a question !
So here new informations :
I updated with new 2.7 pack (posted by PhilZ today).
Now I have :
- CWM touch 6.0.1.4 when I start with vol up + home + power
- CWM 6.0.1.2 when i select "reboot in recovery mode" in rom manager...
This doesn't really disturb me, I just hope it will not cause problem when I'll flash to cyanogen mod 10 (I'm on stock ICS 4.0.4 right now)
If someone could confirm it will not blow up...
Thanks in advance
As far as I know, rom manager is not compatible for now, so better not use it.
Thanks for your answer.
Should I uninstall it, or can I keep it but just don't use it ?

Hello,
i am new to the forum and i registered in it in order to have a solution on my problem! I downloaded recenlty cyanogenmod for my mobile for your site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085347
Before i had android 2.3.3 in my phone! The problem is when i flash the rom i get this error: E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 0)
I have searched the forum for previous similar threads and i followed many of them! However because i am not very expert in these kind of things i was confused in many points of them (for example one which explaned the root of the problem something has to do with the binary update and a script)..And i was not given detailed commands on solving the problem I formatted my sd card (after taking a backup on my pc) and only transfered after, the update for cyanogen mod 10.1 and the one for the google apps but the same problem occured. I desperately need your help because i cant practically use my mobile and i need it...
So please tell me what should i do.
Thank you in advance! Sorry for my bad english

If you want to flash custom ROMs, you must have custom recovery, like ClockWorkMod, RZ Recovery or TWRP.
You will need to flash it using Odin first, and then you can change recovery by just flashing packages. (You don't must change recovery after you flash from Odin.)
