How to recover recovery

Hi,
I used RomManager to flash the ClockWorkRecovery.
How do I get back to the stock recovery after I updated to Gingerbread?

instal a stock rom! : p
why do you want the stock recovery anyway?

If you are on a stock ROM the custom recovery will automatically be overwritten by the stock recovery when you reboot.

You need to be root. Im still trying to figure out how. SOC doesnt work on 2.3.3, and ive never used any other method. If someone can help. Pls do so. Us noobs need to be root too

None of the existing methods seem to work on the update. The only way so far is to flash the root package after installing the update, but before rebooting.

Hi, I would like to update to Gingerbread but I am trying to find out how I can recover the recovery ROM if I do this so that I don't void my warranty, and would like to know how to do this before I do anything.
I am a little confused by your answer. When you say 'stock ROM' are you referring to the Android OS ROM or the recovery ROM? I need to either downgrade my recovery ROM from 3e to 2e or put clockwork on my phone so that I can install the new OS.
Thanks,

[Q] Need help to clear some questions

Hi guys, I'm new here and have been scouring the forums on how to do things but I keep getting caught with uncertainties.
I have an i896 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with a Rogers 2.3.3 Gingerbread installed.
I have rooted it with no issues and its also unlocked.
What I want to do:
1. CyanogenMod 7
2. Overclock the CPU
But what I don't know is...
1. Since i'm running a Rogers ROM, do I have to flash to an AT&T ROM then to any custom ROM?
2. I read the instructions on how to update to the CM7 ROM but every instruction I read says I must have Froyo/Eclair to goto CM7. So do I downgrade and if so, how can I do that? I tried and what ends up happening is the phone's reception bars have an X and data doesn't work either. In the phone About properties, states that the baseband is "unknown". I suspect I need something more than a stock Rogers ROM without bootloaders. I couldn't find a 2.1 or 2.2 stock Rogers ROM with bootloders.
3. For overclocking, I installed Voltage Control and Control Freak and neither let me overclock, the max CPU is 1000Mhz. I assume I need a custom Kernal to do this but haven't been able to find how to do this during the CM7 upgrade.
I just need someone to point me in the right direction on what order to do all this and whether me having a Rogers stock 2.3.3 ROM causes an issue. I've done a lot of reading on these forums so its not like I just signed up and wanted to know the easy way out. I simply want the proper way to do things so I don't repeat the same mistakes many people may have done in the past.
I have used Odin, Heimdall, Odin One Click, Super One Click for rooting.
Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction and help me achieve these goals!

You dont need to go back to Froyo, as GB bootloader is compatible. but you need CWM to flash CM7. you can use Rom Manager app to flash the CWM.
Just download CM7 zip file, wipe data, system and cache and install it using CWM. It comes with custom kernel so you can overclock it using those apps you mentioned. You can also flash Glitch kernel....

See that's what i've been trying to do but when it comes to installing the nightly rom in zip format, it tells me the signature failed.
Do I need to buy the premium version of rom manager or can I get away with the free version? I don't want to use my credit card, i rather wait until paypal is implemented with android market.
This is so frustrating...

You need to Odin flash a custom kernel that has CWM in it and then install the zip from CWM. I don't know if all kernels for the i897 are compatable with i896 just have to read. I

Ya that's what I don't know either...I read tons of threads where people with i896 Rogers roms tried to flash with AT&T based roms or i897 roms and either bricked their phones or made a mess that took much more to get them back to stock...problem is the people that have i896 roms here I can't contact until I hit 10 posts...so I'm here stuck until then...

Just flash a custom I897 kernel with cwm, once complete, yank battery, replace and button combo boot into recovery and flash the ROM. Whichever kernel you choose doesn't really matter as zip will flash a compatible kernel, the I896 and I897 are identical other than cosmetic branding.

I was on stock rogers 2.3.3.
Installed Sumari kernel. Booted into the sumari recovery, installed CM7 zip, the phone rebooted into cwm recovery, and continued installing.
It worked pretty smoothly.

okay so i flashed my phone with a stock 2.3.5 rom with CWM, but how do I update to CM7? When i boot into recovery the only option I have is reinstall package. Do i rename the CM7 zip file to update.zip and that should work? I'm so lost...

In CWM recovery you need to choose install zip from sdcard, make sure you are in fact in cwm recovery

Before you do that....you need to flash a kernel with Odin that has cwm in it...

Woo! that worked like a charm haha yea baby yea!! Thank you soo much!! i was so scared to flash my cappy going from Rogers to AT&T that it would brick the phone. Got CM7 with Glitch Kernel and overclocked to 1.4 sawweeeeet!!
Now time to fiddle around and customize!
Thanks everyone!!

[Q] Root help

I know ive asked a few questions and ive searched a bit, but im coming from an htc phone, so everything is completely different, so id like to know, coming from a practically brand new phone, running a pre installed gingerbread, how do i root it, and put CWM on it? I would like to install custom roms, and im used to doing it through recovery and rom manager doesnt do it for the captivate from what i saw...so just a little help would be nice. And yes, again, i have searched, but i just find my self getting lost...i have odin, i have a captivate...the rest is a blur

No need to root to ROM it. Use Odin to flash a custom kernel that has cwm baked into it (all custom kernels do) then button combo into recovery and flash a ROM. The ROM will be rooted after the flash.
And completely forget ROM manager exists...it sucks on Samsung phones.

[Q] Flashed Holicakes kernel without rom. Stuck at HTC log

I am new to this rooting process. I mainly doing it so i can tether my phone to my computer to get me by til i can afford internet.
I used the HTC Vivid all-in-on AIO kit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003
I unlocked the bootloader and flashed the WCXs CWM recovery.
Then I flashed the Holicakes 2.6.35.14 kernel. It rebooted and now im at the HTC logo.
What do i do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
- I cant plug my sd card into my computer, but i can put things on it by mounting the sd card in recovery mode using "mount USB storage"
- I downloaded WCx_Sense_ATT_Generic.zip and trying to understand the vid tutorial. Reading though a bunch of threads that might help too.

I know its cause i don't have a ROM for holicake. I am currently downloading HoliRaider_final_4G.
I am not sure how to get access to the internal storage to put stuff directly on the phone.

All you do is go to recovery, go to usb toggle, make sure phone is attached to computer, send the holicakes rom to your phone, unplug from computer, flash the rom, and wait for it to do its thing. That is all you have to do. Or you could install wild child's kernel and rom.

What rom did you have before flashing the kernel?

I had the stock ROM that the phone comes with. Is holiraider the holicakes rom? or is there a specific one i need for the holicakes kernel? Im trying to use the WCX_Generic.zip since the holiraider is still downloading. I'll try some things while i wait.

Ice cream sandwich or gingerbread?

I would not do that. May work well, may not. If you are going to flash WCX you need to get his kernel. Also, isn't the kernel you flashed for a gingerbread rom? If so you should not be flashing an ics rom on gingerbread.

I think i have gingerbread. I think i'll look for WCX kernel since holiraider is gonna take forever to download.
I am not sure if the kernel i flashed was for GB or ICS.
I tried to flash the stock kernel back on it, but it won't let me. will trying to flash the wcx kernel be the same way?

The holicakes kernel was meant for gingerbread

No, you would need to find the gingerbread kernel from wild child. Don't try flashing any ics roms or kernels.

im trying to find a kernel on his website but i don't see anything.

How do i tell if a ROM is for GB or ICS. Can someone recommend a rom to use so i can have my phone working again.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431053
Here is the rom that goes with your kernel. Don't see the old files for gb on wc's site anymore. What was the date you downloaded the generic zip? If it was the past couple of weeks it is ics.

Thank you very much. I will download the rom and tell you how it goes. I downloaded the generic today.
One last thing to ask. Where can i get a ICS kernel? (or what is the name of it)
I would like to try out the generic rom i downloaded once i figure things out.
*turns out i started downloading that rom about an hour ago, still downloading. darn depositfile download speeds

ICS is for ice cream sandwich. It is an update for your phone from gingerbread. You can't flash roms made for ics if you are on gingerbread and you can't flash roms for gingerbread if you are on ics. I don't know if ics has been released where you live yet but you have to do several steps before you can update to it such as relock your phone.

Okay, i think i'm starting to understand. Thanks for the help. Download at 50%. will post with results once done

Glad to help out! Good to hear you are up and running!

So let me get this straight...

I recently upgraded my Note to official ICS (OTA) and I'm not liking it AT ALL! Now I really want to get far away from this update as possible and I'd like to switch to a CM9 nightly Rom. I've that now that I have upgraded to the official ICS Rom, I run the risk of super bricking my device. So now I ask you to help me make sure the following is correct so that I may move on from this wretched update:
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on original Samsung ICS
DO NOT perform wipes if you are on a original Samsung kernel??
Flash back to original Gingerbread Rom using odin BEFORE flashing to CM9
Flash to different kernel??
I've flashed millions of Roms but this one is scary and I just want to make sure haven't missed anything... Have I?
Thanks for you help!!

Just flash a stock directly rootable GB rom, root and put CM9 on it. Then do a factory reset and you're good to go. Went that way few times already.

So is the super-brick BUG on the official ICS OTA?? OMG
And yeah go back to gingerbrear via odin, get root then flash any CM9 tru CWM no problems...

I'd like to do something similar to what the OP wants to do however I have rooted and installed CWM on an official/stock ICS rom. So if I wanted to flash back to a stock gingerbread rom would I need to remove CWM and/or un-root?

There is no need to unroot first. You can flash stock GB rom directly via Odin.

I've now flashed to GB but before I move on to a CM9 nightly, do you recommend I flash the CM9 kernel as well? Seems like it is not a prerequisite but I would like to make sure. Thanks.
John J

afaik, when flashing a CM9 Nightly, the eligible kernel is built in, so no need to flash anything but the ROM.
i'm on one of imilkas first CM9 port and it says [email protected] #1 under Kernel version in settings.

Yes. The correct kernel is included in the nightly.
