[Q] Flashing CWM Recovery - can't see my phone model - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all! Hopefully, I put this thread in correct section. If not, please move it.
Anyway, here is my question.
I installed ROM Manager because I want to try some other ROMs on my SGS i9000 and when I want to flash the CWM Recovery, the only option I get is Google Nexus S. Is this normal? Should it show my model? Can there be any problems if I choose Google Nexus S option?

Thank you!

What ROM are you currently on ? if its a custom ROM you may have the Nexus Drivers, and that could be why it is only showing you that option.
there are many other ways of flashing a custom ROM so dont give up if ROM Manager starts acting up.
i personally prefer a flash with ODIN and all update Flashes through CWM

I recently upgraded from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3. Here you can see more info:
As far as i know, this is not a custom ROM, just leaked one. Or am I wrong? I upgraded it with ODIN too and it wasn't hard, I just think it would be even easier, if i didn't have to use the computer and could download ROMs directly on the phone.

Hehe thats very easy to fix.
1. download ODIN and install it on ur pc.
2. go here http://www.theandroidsoul.com/fuguroot-galaxy-s-how-to If u r rooted then skip this link!!!
3. go here and install the GingerReal rom then it will work

Edit : U might need a korean kernal but try first the one used in the link 3.
That's because you're running Recovery 3e, which only flashes verified and signed update.zip packages. This is not the case for most of the content coming from XDA. Thus, you must either acquire Recovery 2e, or better yet, CWM Recovery. Search here for help regarding the same..

Can't access CWM (with pics)

Seems my problem is so different from others, i think.
so here are some pics of it so you can understand my problem for i can't really describe it.

Did you do ever flash using Heimdall or Odin?
I'd rather go the procedure described for installing the OVERCOME rom. - It's pretty safe and if you follow all steps, you should end up with a fully working device.

[Q] [S3 Mini Value Edition] CWM or TWRP Recovery

Hi guys,
it is possible to put CWM or TWRP recovery on my Galaxy S3 Mini Value Edition (Model I8200)?
Probably yes, but how? I have tried (Yes I know, sorry) to flash the Recovery from the "Golden" on my phone. When I have done that, it boots up, crashes and don't enter in the recovery.
If I don't hold any buttons, it boots up (Android). But I already have messed up with the Recovery
Fixing the recovery can only be done with flashing a valid one now or putting back the Stock ROM (And I don't want stock)...
So, I have tred to make a CWM Recovery for the phone, but the files necessary to pull from the phone, I don't find on my phone (Maybe it differs from phone to phone).
I REALLY want CWM on that phone and I will try everything that you guys says to make on that phone. If you need any files, I will back right up and upload there.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Here are some files that you guys will prbably need: (Extracted from ".tar.md5" Stock ROM)

Here a picture of the content of the Stock ROM if anyone need to know what's in...

[Q] HELP?! Return Device to Stock Android/Tizen

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Gear SM-V700 and had it paired with my Note 3.
All was fine until I got a Nexus 6 then wanted to pair it with that to find out I couldnt unless I rooted it and installed a different ROM. So I did and installed null rom.
I know want to be able to return it to stock as I am not liking the new ROM but being the douche I am I did not make a nandroid backup.
I am now failing to find a suitable original rom to restore using odin.
I downloaded the latest stock rom for the device using sammobile but I think its a tizen rom and it always freezes in odin as it starts to flash the bootloader and the last message displayed is 'zimage' but then nothing happens and the device then remains stuck in recovery mode asking me to connect it to kies which I can also do nothing via.

I have now got it up and running what looks like the stock rom but I am trying to update it via the gear manager app on my note 3 while I still have it and its saying registration failed.
Can anyone please help me on restoring this to true stock and upgrading it to the latest version of tizen?
Many thanks,
Daniel.

now i have flash the stock light v4 custom rom and inside the zip it have a boot.img file, so it flash a kenrel too. now i have
.
i flash a custom recovery and counter goes to 1. (i dont care about it, i dont have any waranty so i can complete ignore this)
my main reason it was to fix battery drain issue on android os. it seem like i didn't change anything.
now i have download a file from official Samsung page. title is I8190XXANC2_I8190EURANC1_HOME.tar.md5 .so i can go back to stock.
My question is will this make my phone complete stock with everything like stock firmware, stock recovery, stock kernel? again i dont care about the counter. i just want to change some roms and then i want to know that i can revert back anytime.
also if there is a fix for battery drain issue even on stock i will appreciate it.
thanks in advanced.
