Hello everybody!
Can I trouble someone upload or point me to where I can download the latest ClockworkMod Recovery update.zip file for the Samsung Captivate?
Thanks!

You can download ROM Manager from the market. It will have different versions that you can use.

Yeah. I"m trying to avoid ROM Manager.

Try installing sgs tools then. There is a way with that to get it.

Not sure how latest this is ... but it gets the job done for me ;-)

Thanks mate! Exactly what I needed!

i was looking for this too! thanks!!!!!

Can some one post update.zip for CWM3?

I would also like CWM3. ROM Manager is recognizing my Captivate only as an i9000. Thanks!

Is there any site or thread that has all/most CWMs in update.zip form, shows their versions, and describes them?

what is the safe method of flashing a rom? Installing CWM from update.zip of flashing a rom using CWM flashed through ODIN?

Oh boy, you have opened a never ending discussion now!
After you have done flashing for a while, the answer will be "whatever way you like best." For a very first timer, I would suggest the AIO tool at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418
Personally, I am generally upgrading within a single ROM and I like to move it onto the sdcard and use CWM red recovery (3-button entry or from 'boot to recovery' in power-down menu now on my phone) and flash ROM from that, using the 'install zip from sdcard' option, or however it is worded.
Still looking for an answer to

The ROM manager and the CWM coming with it, 2.5.x doesn't work on stock Froyo.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone with the latest version of CWM (I believe it's a 3.0 version) wouldn't mind posting their update.zip?
ROM Manager doesn't work properly for me. Plus, I don't like using it. At all.
Thanks!

I was hoping this would work for me. Unfortunately it didn't. I am running 2.2 on my Captivate. I need to root it...does anyone know where to find an updated update file for 2.2?

When i had 2.2 froyo I just flashed DG's odin file to revert back to a rooted stock froyo. This worked for me I would upload the file but I no longer have it. sorry

You can use the one click root and if clockwork mod is not working on your stock 2.2 just use odin to flash the speed mod kernel it comes with clockwork and root access so you can use room manager etc.

Do you have to have CM already installed or can you put it on an unrooted captivate?

[Q] New to Ace forums

Can any one help me in getting a custom kernel with cwm which can be flashed via odin? The thread in development section only talks about rom manager method.
Please provide links.

But why it bricks the sga?
This bug is a long time known... the devs of the app could it fix...
but i think the sga is to old...
If you want to use a customrom... you can use the recoverymode of the sga to install cwm. If you installed cwm you can flash easiely any customrom for your sga

Why do you want a manager , aint that cool...and yeah don't think they want to invest in a phone like this

i think there are a lot of sga-users and the newbes can flash their sga easier with this app...
i used the app for my galaxy 5 and galaxy 3 and everything worked fine
and i can't imagine why it should be so difficault to fix the app for the sga...

CWM Touch Recovery for Galaxy Ace

I'm currently running CWM Recovery 5.0.2.6 on my Galaxy Ace. I've been warned away from using ROM Manager by basically everybody. But I want to install CWM Touch Recovery on my Ace, and ROM Manager seems to be the only way to do that.
First, is CWM Touch Recovery compatible with the Galaxy Ace?
Second, has ROM Manager improved? I bricked an Ace last February trying to flash CWM Recovery (it didn't have the my model listed). Current version is 5.0.0.8. Can I use it to safely flash CWM Touch Recovery (assuming Touch Recovery is compatible with Galaxy Ace?
Third, is there any place I can get CWM Touch Recovery for the Galaxy Ace without using ROM Manager?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Dude as you have said. You have been warned by everybody for using rom manager. But if you still insist on using it, feel free. Its your choice! I think there is already a cwm touch recovery for ace. Search in ace development section. But I think its buggy and discontinued.

I'm not disagreeing with you; ask the audience usually works. But everything I'm seeing telling me not to use ROM Manager is almost a year old (fall 2011 or earlier), and this is a very recent version of ROM Manager that recognizes my phone, where all the older versions didn't.
Is there anyone who has used ROM Manager 5.0.0.6 or 5.0.0.8 on their Galaxy Ace? If so, please let me know how it went, good or bad.

Everyone told you not to use Rom manager. But if you still want to use it,go ahead,Use it,brick your device.If you want to mess your phone up,thats fine with us.Just please don't come crying here telling that you messed your phone up by using Rom manager,if you refuse to hear what people say,its your problem.
Rom Manager is a touch and go thingy for SGA,it works sometimes,sometimes doesn't.

There is a CWM touch version for SGA as shadowXd told,its developed by Axel2033.Touch is a bit buggy but i don't know if the project is still going on since Axel2033 is more active on russian forums than xda.

[Solved]Need some help , :)

i am quite confsed..
i am a developer from htc wildfire s forum..
i have my brother owning galaxy note..
i flashed the CM10 (unofficial ) on my device he was quite impressed with the JB in such a low end phone.. (htc wildfire s is armv 6 with only 600 mhz with no support for hd gaming.. not even temple run works on it )
so he said me to root his device.. n flash the CM10 rom in it..
so as the guide said i rooted the phone..
(i also installed mobile odin n triangle away from market )
then i googled n realised there is something called binary counter..
n then i also realised that many users are having problem in flashing the CWM. (its kernel dependent i guess,, n i dont know which one to use.. i flashed the hydracore v3 kernel)
so i am likke WTF how to back up the rom?
N now if i want to flash a rom i can do it with odin.. but then how will i revert back to my ICS(the current rom ie the stock rom ,)
can plz someone answer to my questions...
LONG story in Short :
1) how to backup (without increasing the counter)
2)How to restore backup without getting the device bricked.

Root device and flash safe kernel(e.g.Hydracore) with Mobile odin
(2nd link on my signature, use method 1 to root, and use mobile odin to flash safe kernel)
After flashing safe kernel you will have CWM advance recovery, which have backup/restore function

Check rooting guide in Dr.Ketan's sig, you will find all methods to root there.
In method 1 you have to root first and then you can flash custom kernel using mobile odin or pc odin (flashing custom kernel will also install cwmr)
method 2 is flashing custom kernel using pc odin it will root and flash cwm recovery too.

Proly when those thread were created, there was no safe ICS custom kernel, now we have lots of them, You can use Hydracore kernel. So basically as long as you are on any safe kernel, you can restore and backup using cwmr without any danger of brick (provided that you follow correct procedure, lol)

It depends on your requirement, I have tried almost all custom roms available for Note from CheckROm (GB) to PA CM10 and they are are too good. But I always prefer stock rom for long run (again personal choice). As of now using stock LR6 with mods.

Pls help,Can't get into any recovery at all

Hi everyone
I have just gotten a Samsung galaxy mini. I rooted it and unlocked it okay.
But then I wanted to flash rom and stuff, so I downloaded Odin, and flashed cwm, but... When Odin says pass, it press home + power and the Samsung screen flashed twice and sticks.
But the strangest thing is that it can still boot into android sometimes.
I am on android 2.2.1
iBook anybody can help as it is worrying me a lot

before flashing rom or CWM you will need to upgrade to gingerbread either through odin or Kies
and then flash cwm and after that flash rom with cwm

Thanks for the reply
I can't seem to upgrade via kies, can you provide a link that contains stock Roms for my samsung that can be upgraded via Odin.
Is there any chance of bricking at all?
Do you need any other info?
Thanks
