[Q] SPH-P100: Sprint Galaxy Tab - Recovery broken after flashing ICS - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My bother works for best buy and they have an old galaxy tab that has been in the back for months. He was asked to take it home and put honeycomb or higer on the device...
we started with odin Stock GB Prerooted w/ CWM Recovery. Recovery works fine on GB. Flashed file system converter and loaded GB backup, flashed Alpha ICS and CDMA kernel and after that we cant get recovery to boot. We have reverted to GB and reflashed CWM and ICS and are still having issues. Wifi is broken (i know this is fixed) but we cant get back into recovery to flash wifi patch. I spent some time in the ICS thread but i couldn't find the same issue.
Suggestions? Bad download?!
Is there a Odin CWM Recovery package for ICS?

I'm kind of a noob but maybe upgrading CWM 4.0.1.5 to CWM 5.0.2.7 would help. I have CWM 5.5.0.4 but I don't remember where I got it from.

I'll try this first chance i get. Thanks!

CWM 2.5: How to upgrade to 3?

I currently have ClockworkMod 2.5 and am trying to upgrade to 3 to install CM&. I currently have Doc's ROM, if that makes any difference.
ROM Manager doesn't give me any options to update to v3.
The CM7 wiki has steps to update for non-rooted users, but I don't think I need to do that.
I am looking for a CWM download to install via Odin. Is this the simplest method?
I've searched this forum as well as the web, and I can't find anything related to the Vibrant.
Any tips would be appreciated...
Do you know that Vibrant has its special sub-forum?
Edit: Yours is Bell's Vibrant. Never mind then. Just flash speedmod kernel.
That's it... Flash a kernel that it has cwm... Isn't depending of the rom.

Have you tried using ROM Manager and selecting Flash Clockwork Recovery?
For me it asked me what phone I was using (select Galaxy S MTD if you want to use CM7) and then asked what version of CMW I wanted. Just choose CWM3.x there and you should be fine. It will tell you that your current phone isn't supported, blah blah, but ignore it.
I'm sure he's going to install CM7, not already installed. Just use speedmod kernel. There's no need for CWM 3. If you got CM7 installed, it's automatically CWM 3.

Actually it is not completely automatic, you still need to flash a CWM3 recovery from inside ROM Manager, otherwise you can't see CM7 Nightlies from ROM Manager.
Thanks all.
I was able to get CM7 on my Bell Galaxy S.
I did try the ROM Manager but I couldn't get it to update CWM. It would try to install from Android recovery 3e, not CWM.
After many loops of stock 2.3.3, Doc's ROM 2.2.1, CM7 Nightly 15, and other steps, I was able to manually flash the nightly 18 using CWM.
For some reason, the update method for stock mentioned on the CM7 Galaxy S didn't work for me. Even after flashing speedmod kernel, I still came up with CWM 2.5.
Also, even with CWM 2.5, I was able to flash nightly build 18. Hope this helps someone else trying to update CWM.

[Q] Can not flash cwm recovery

Sorry for repost, wrong category.
So, here's the story again .
1. I had 2.3.3 xxjvo Gingerbread with cfroot
2. I flashed 4.02, the platypus one
3. I wanted to go back, I used my cwm backup
4. Cwm's were different version -> soft brick
5. Flashed stock froyo with 2e recovery
6. Unbricked phone with dbdata.rar
7. Noticed still have the 4.0.2 kernel
8. rooted the phone anyway with cfroot because no root
9. Got Rom manager, Superuser. Flashed recovery from the app
10. Noticed: still 2e recovery.
11. Tried to reflash. No result.
It asked the permissions and everything, why not work?
Also, is there a way to install a fully stock rom and kernel with odin?
Can 4.0 be flahed with odin?
Instal a stock rom and then flash CF-root from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
I'll try, but I kinda did that already.
Where can I get the original xxjvo rom with the kernel, the links seem to always bee broken!

Man try this:http://androidadvices.com/info/samsung/galaxy-s-i9000/page/4/
I solved this one myself: I made a cwm backp, which messed things up from the beginning, but I knew it was valid.
I got a very similiar rom to my own, flashed it, cfrooted and used cwm to restore the old file:
IT'S UP 'N' RUNNING WITH ALL ITS APPS!
I am so glad, I will probably go to ICS again but now I'll just flash the firmware and use my backup. I gotta love this SGS.

[Q] Galaxy Tab P1000 with CM9 not boot

I tried doing the update to CM9 March, and I fail, I fail to boot the tablet (semibrick). The steps I follow are:
2.3.3 Delivery of Gingerbread rooted
With the CMW 3.0.0.5
Reboot into recovery mode with the CMW:
1 - I flash the ROM from sdcard
2 - the same with the Kernel
3 - google apps
Once everything without problems, restarting the tablet remains in the initial logo Galaxy Tab, there does not happen.
If I reboot into recovery mode, I have the latest CWM, but there is no way to boot.
I tried also to replace the zImage from ROM but as usual, someone could help me??
If i would repair the semibrick, I need to flash the 2.3.3 ROM, with odin and then make the root another time.
How I can install CM9 on my GT-P1000?
Thanks.
go to the dev section, look for Overcome 4.1 ROM thread.
Follow the restock procedure there.
Then flash Overcome 4.0 kernel.
That will give you the CwM 5.something recovery
AND it will convert your filesystem from RFS to EXT4
Maybe that is what you are lacking.
Once that is done, flash the CM9 as per your original steps.
Good luck.
Thanks Priyana,
I've flashed overcome 4.0 Kernel, and then CM9, and all works perfect.
Now I can use CM9!!!!
wifi and restore problem in cm9
I hope this experience is not useful. If the SIM card into the phone after installing the ROM, wireless does not work. Also, when restoring backup
I have no problem using it. No need to install software updates or any other wireless
tnx
Most of the 30 ROM installation but I LOVE this
that is the wifi code issue with middle eastern tab. (ICS only)

JB, GB - Anytype of CWM (except 3.0.0.5) is not working

Hi All!
I try to find out what causes this weird problem I've had with CWM Recovery, but I couldn't find solution anywhere.
So, the problem is the following:
When I use ICS, JB custom ROMs with my Galaxy S I9000, I always loose CWM recovery. The only stable point is GB 2.3.6 ROM with recovery version 3.0.0.5 with CF-root.
After flash and start the phone in general all the kernels of Semaphore, Devil, Glitch, and so on...just blinks their logo for a second during the boot process, after that it shows blank screen. After waiting a while I can use the phone normally, everything works, but the CWM.
I couldn't reach CWM recovery neither the 3-button mode nor ADB.
I flashed back to stock rom (Valuepack JVU), root it with CF-root (4.3), and I get back CWM 3.0.0.5 in GB 2.3.6 which works perfectly.
But, if I flash the same ROM with the appropriate (e.g. Semaphore) kernel with Odin, I cannot enter CWM recovery anymore.
I've tried FixRecovery.tar. It didn't help.
Now I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776738 this ROM, but the 3-button recovery is not working too. so I can't make Nandbackup.
Does anyone know what causes this problem?
Thanks in advance,
adr

[Q] CWM Recovery is not booting

Hi
I have here a Galaxy Mini running stock Froyo 2.2.1 without an USB-cable.
My goal is to flash CM 9.
I rooted the phone with an update.zip containing Superuser.apk and the su binary. (I needed it for Titanium Backup)
I want to install CWM too but I can not use Odin (no USB cable). I downloaded CWM Touch 5.2.0.8 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439751, named the file update.zip and flashed it with the stock recovery tool. - This seemed to be sucessful.
But now the devie is stuck at the "Samsung" logo everytime I try to boot into recovery. Booting the normal Android works fine.
Is there a way to flash CWM without using Odin now? (probably using linux "dd")
I would like to have CWM before I flash CM9 beacuse I want to create a full backup first.
Edit: Ok...I might have overlooked that this CWM is for Gingerbread.
Thanks
flashing through stock recovery may not work
you have to use odin to flash the recovery
one more thing is that you cannot backup stock rom
you must upgrade to gb to flash cm9 (bootloader incompatibility)

A full back up of what ?
If you try to back up your current ROM app data, then restore it on cm, there'll be bugs potential.
