Hi,
I flashed CF-Root-XW_DBT_JVI-v3.7-CWM3RFS, which worked fine and I have root access now.
But my problem - actually I dont know if its a problem - is:
I cannot boot into CWM Recovery using the 3button method.
I can successfully boot into CWM Recovery using the CWM Manager app.
The reason why I am asking:
I want to flash [ROM][ICS][4.0.3][BUILD23][BETA2.02]AOKP.
And in the instructions they are mentioning:
--COMING FROM STOCK ROMs/SAMSUNG BASED ROMS-
[..]
*WHILE FLASHING THE PHONE WILL END UP IN A BOOTLOOP, NO PROBLEM.
*SWITCH OFF BY REMOVING BATTERY.
*REBOOT INTO RECOVERY.
*REFLASH .

So I tried whether I can boot into CWM recovery using the 3-button method.
I saw on the CF-root thread for SGS2, that it only boots standard recovery, if there exists a samsung package (What is meant with package? firmware?).
But on the SGS thread chainfire writes:
- Booting into recovery will immediately give you CWM. The standard recovery is completely gone.

So I dont know if its an error, that I cannot boot into CWM with the 3button method,
or if its ok, because I still have the stock Samsung ROM running.
Thanks for your help!

I solved the problem. Maybe it helps someone.
I flashed AOKP Beta 2.02 and the SGS didnt end up in a boot loop!
It just booted into Semaphore CWM and from there I flashed AOKP again->Reboot->Finished.
During installation I had another problem: I put the AOKP zip onto the external/real SD-card. When the SGS booted into CWM after the first flash, the SD Card wasnt mounted But thanks god, the 3-button method still started the standard recovery mode, and I could reflash the original Samsung firmware using Odin.
I then re-rooted the phone and started the whole process again, but this time storing the AOKP zip on the internal SD-card

OK here is what has caused issue...
Running stock.
Rooted using SuperOneClick.
Installed ROM Manager.
Flashed CWM for Captivate - successful.
Backup ROM - boots into what looks like stock recovery (3e).
I click reboot... Android with Yellow Triangle. Requires pull. No way around this. Tried factory reset.
Used ODIN to flash firmware... successful.
On reboot... back into recovery... click reboot and Android with Yellow Triangle.
Any ideas please!!!!???
PS... before going into recovery everytime it does a Movi-check thing and says stuff about media update, application update etc then ends up in Android System Recovery (3e)
Here is where you went wrong. You used CWM for the CAPTIVATE. And your phone is not a captivate SGH-I897
Are you in download mode? If so remove the usb cable when you boot into recovery.
Edit: isn't the i9010 just the Armani captivate?

I was in download mode when I used ODIN but then it reset at the end and the Galaxy S i9010 splash screen came up...
Then into the recovery...
I just need a way to get out of this damn recovery!
And... the i9010 I believe is the Armani Captivate. This is UK one.
some people had trouble with the i9010 rom on the captivate, im not gonna pretend to know why but maybe you can pm the guys from team komin or design gears who have worked with that rom in making it compatable with the i897, they might know something about the differences and inner workings. you are the first person i know of to try anything on the armani model.
install the update.zip package twice in a row.
stop giving newb answers, 3e recovery wont run an update.zip. he needs to flash a kernel with cmw or 2e patched in or a modified 3e recovery before he can think about cwm recovery,
but now his problems run deeper than that.

I've not downloaded any update.zip
Is it already on the phone?? I have not used the stock recovery manager for many moons!!
Anyway, I have managed to exit the loop. When the triangle came up I just kept tapping the menu button and then it reset.
Interestingly though... despite a "successful" flash via ODIN, I have all the apps preinstalled prior to flashing.
Is that right?
yes that is normal, the apps are on a different partition,
the update.zip is installed to your internal sd card when you go into rom manager and select "flash clockwork mod recover" but you still need to run the update.zip twice before you get into cwm
problem is that 3e recovery wont allow it so you need to flash a kernel with a different recovery first, then you can get into cwm, then you might be able to flash back to a proper kernel and access cwm from rom manager
Thanks Dani.
So just to be clear about where I am and where I go from here...
Back into clean JL1 firmware. Had to reroot. ROM Manager says CWM Recovery is installed but I end up straight at 3e.
Is there a way of removing the CWM it thinks is there or a quick way to get into CWM?
Thanks. A lot harder than my Nexus S was...

I thought he was on 2e. my mistake. There is a thread here in this forum including a modified 3e recovery that does not require digitally signed packages. Check it out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213&highlight=recovery+modified
to be honest you are taking a risk because there are differences between this and a captivate.
normal proceedure is to root-install rom manager- reboot into recovery-"reinstall packages" -phone reboots into recovery again-"reinstall packages" then you are in clockwork mod
but with "3e" you have to root-install rom manager - flash alternate captivate kernel with clockwork mod patched in via oden/neldars kernel app.
the problem is that nobody knows for sure if you can run an i897 kernel or modified i9000 kernel on that phone permanantly. you are the Guinea pig, it might not boot, it might have random problems.
and if it doesn't work try flash to stock-root-install rom manager- flash captivate kernel with 2e/modified 3e recovery (look several pages back in the development section) - reinstall packages- phone reboots into recovery - reinstall packages- phone reboots into clockwork mod- flash proper kernel
big risk flashing kernels though, i'd talk to designgears about it first, he bricked a captivate with an armani rom if i remember right. and i mean hard bricked, no boot loop no download mode, no recovery mode! just black screen!

yeah i did that too. it was from the SBL.bin and boot.bin that was included with the rom from samsung.
it had nothing to do with kernel flashing.

the kernel from the armani worked fine with my captivate, but lacked recovery 2e or voodoo, so chrisryn made a kernel FROM the armani source for us to use on andromeda....my guess is that it will work fine for you.
Hi there,
Since gingerbread with most probably be the last update for SGS i would like to install a custom mod.
Now i have been trying to do this (darky 10 RC4) for the past 2 days.
I followed Darky's instructions then i had a problem with the CWM only accepting "edified" script.
So i downloaded rom manger and tried to downgrade ta 2.5 but as soon as i tap on the 2.5 it immediately comes up with an error, "an error occured while flashing your recovery."
this is done on a 2.3.3 JVB SGS with CWM 3 installed (orange text).
Are there alternate routes? maybe downgrading to android 2.2 installing an older version of darky and than upgrading the darky rom?
any help is much appreciated.
thanks
Download the rom CWM-zip and put it in your internal sdcard.
Download some froyo-kernel (yes, froyo) with CWM 2.5. Speedmod for example. Then flash it with Odin repartition and auto-reboot unticked. When the flashing process is completed, pull the battery and then boot to recovery (3 button combo). Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.
thanks, i wil try that.
Now you have CWM 2.5 and you can flash the CWM-zip from there.

just 1 question, why do i need t flash CWM-zip if i am already on CMW 2.5?

Sorry. With CWM-zip I meant the Darky's Rom.zip, which can be flashed through CWM.
it didnt work, u just gave up.
hopefully some new rom update that is edified will show up in a couple of months
Install supercurio hacked kernel, it has recovery 2.5 instead of 3.0.0.5. From there you should be able to install darky's rom. If the new version of his kernel is recovery 3, tell me i'll send the old one just for the purpose.
Hi,
ok last attempt
i flashed ( odin PDA, no pit and no repartition) with this link:
Kernel Download:
Gingerbread-GT-I9000-stock-kernel+hacks.tar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=975349
while i was on
PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
rooted with root CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVK-v3.1-CWM3RFS
and lag fixed with CF-Root-ext4-v1.2
and it forking worked red text 2.5 THANKS A BUNCH!
edit just a problema. it is only booting in CWM.
reattempting this without the lag fix.
2nd attempt with PDA_I9000XWJVB - PHONE_I9000XXJVK - CSC_I9000XEEJV3
and without lag fix not rooting.
phone stuck looping at booting with strange sound on each boot loop
3rd attempt with rooting, but no lagfix
If you are only rebooting in recovery, did you flash the new kernel, then reboot recovery ? if yes, the easy way to get out, is to reboot in download then reflash the wanted kernel (Since your rom is installed, you can install any kernel (GB of course)) then, it will reboot in recovery again and just reboot system now. This should fix your problem.
edit : Dont forget to get CF-root 3.1 for JVB and not JVK.

Hello all,
[DEV][RC2]ICSSGS Source [Android 4.0.3]
I have tried to flash my phone with the ICS....I made a mistake at the starting...instead of wiping out the data I have tried to flash it directly and i got blank screen showed up.....
Then, I have downloaded oneclikc ODIN and flashed it with speedmode kernel.....and able to start recovery mode...but I am not able to flash ICS from my SD(external card) and I have tried to reboot the phone and it got stuck on reboot screen......
But I am able to got to recovery mode using KEY combination and download mode using key combination and USB cable.......
I really need a way to fix this.....
Please tell me how to at least get access to external SD card from recovery screen....
Thank you......
Flash a kernel with CWM 5.x. It has the option to install zips from the external SD. Most roms now require CWM 3.x or newer to flash. I believe Speedmod uses 2.x. If your recovery menu is green, you need a newer recovery and thus, a newer kernel, to flash.

I have tried flash different kernals....but still when i entered the recovery mode i am still seeing speedmod kernal....(green Color)....I am not sure of what to do...
here is what I am doing....
I am connecting the phone to Computer in Download Mode using ODIN....
then using PDA I am updating the kernal....most of the times it said success....
and when I go back to recovery I can still see the green menu.......
I am not able to access ICS, please help me out with this.....
Thanks
By any chance have a update.zip in your sdcard?
no I don't think so.....i tried to do it couple of times...... but it said that there is no such file
Seems you just might have flashed a very old stock rom. I recommend just flashing stock KH3 w/ boogs kernel. That's always worked wonderfully for me.
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.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda app-developers app
EDIT FIXED:
Fixed:
First flash to stock with ODIN then,
1. Backup your SD Card
2. Format in FAT32 (With fast formatting unticked)
3. Download CWM 6.0.1.5 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852725
4. Install
5. Boot into Stock Room
6. Reboot in recovery mode
But I can't mount /system or /cache from cwm
Sorry for my bad english.
I've flashed with ODIN and flashed CWM Recovery a lot of times, but this time I can't get CWM Recovery to work.
I flash to stock with odin (I tried with 3 different stock versions), then flash CWM (Tried with CWM 4 and CWM 5 and no works, also tried flashing CWM 5 from ODIN)
When I boot in recovery mode, it stays on the screen that says Samsung with a green corner.
And it doesn't ever start CWM recovery.
(The strange thing is that it used to work, and it doesn't now)
Edit: I can boot but I can't boot into CWM recovery, but I can to normal stock recovery after flashing again.

ok! Did you flashed both files root and cwm?
If you did it boot android, power on your device, install Terminal Emulator from market/playstore and type this;
Code:
su
reboot recovery
or try boot into recovery using CWM app
