[Q] I have a SGS on UK Orange

...
I want to Flash/Install different ROM on my phone but I don't have 3 button recovery... I also believe I will need to root it? Not sure if I've read correctly...
I'm guessing I first need to get the 3 button recovery working? Do I need to download something for this? Will I need to root the phone before this step, or afterwards?
Then do I use Odin (1.3) to install the new ROM?
I have downloaded the Android SDK (for adb), a fix file for the 3 Button recovery, Odin 1.3. Is there anything else I will need to carry out all of the above?
Very grateful for any help.

I have international I9000 and I used these instructions, they're in Russian, you can translate them with google
searching for the file that is mentioned there I could find this, which is the same
rooting is another thing, this one is for replacing bootloader
another manuals

Ok, so I've got the 3 button recovery working, rooted (not sure if this step is necessary?), unlocked... is there anything else before I flash a newer ROM to the handset? (of course, I will make sure I've backed up the phone too).
Also, if you could suggest a ROM for me to download. Would like the latest stable release of android (I'm guessing one of the variants of Froyo? Currently running Eclair).
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip!... Just trying to get clockworkmod recovery to load up on rebooting the handset... I have to rename update.zip on the internal sd card I believe??

Davey boy - make sure you can get into download mode before you go any further.

When holding volume down, home and power I get "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" - That's right isn't it?
I still can't seem to be able to access the ClockworkMod Recovery though on rebooting the handset (after renaming the original update.zip on my internal SD card to aupdate.zip) - Any suggestions?

Update .
Is the name usually .

I ended up installing JV1 from samfirmware, but am wanting to downgrade it to a later Froyo build. Or a custom ROM... not sure yet.
How would I got about installing a "ROM Kitchen" ROM manually? I can't load ClockworkMod Recovery to install from SD card.
Edit: Just going to reinstall Eclair and install the ROM through CWM that way.

Hi small question someone might know how do you do a carrier firmware backup? Before you do the reflash?

Are you sure you're pressing the right combination?
Press volup + power + home
And release them when Samsung logo appears, or it will just reboot again

Yep, that was the combination I used. Managed to get it all running using the latter method.

Problem with connection phone to PC

After i tried to install CyanogenMod, and it doesn't work because of bad first tutorial. I made big mistake, i didn't root my phone and didn't install CMW before installed CyanogenMod. Now I'm stuck in bootloop "Android", i can go to recovery only and i can install or update anything. I want to install original soft by Kies or by Odin, but my phone can't connect with PC. I know that computer see my phone because of automatically install drivers. But when i turn on Kies or Odin, it doesn't connected. Anyone had the same problem or know solution?

Are you able to go to the DOWNLOAD mode ?
If yes, then your pc will detect your device and you can easily flash firmware using ODIN v4.38

Hi crashew!
If you can go to recovery, you can install CWM and then any stock ROM from recovery. That is not exactly what you wanted, but it's easy and you could try it.
If not, Odin is your solution.
Good luck.

My solution is Odin, because when i try root or install CWM it's bootloop too, so i can't install anything by recovery way. But with Odin is problem, that my PC doesn't connecting with phone, I'm sure that PC see phone, because after first time insert the USB, it started install drivers to my phone, but when i try connect phone by Kies or Odin it doesn't work, Odin saying " Please connect your phone!"
So I have problem and I can't solve it.

Hi crashew!
Is your recovery: recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix.zip? If not you could try installing it from your recovery.

As I wrote above, I didn't root my phone and I didn't install clockwork, I have stock recovery, and on it I can't root my phone, I can't install clockwork or any ROM. Of course I can't turn on my phone properly, I'm stuck in switching and word "ANDROID". Bootloop

Hi crashew!
AFAIK if you can go to stock recovery you can root your phone and then install CWM.
Search in the general section, there are some tutorials for rooting, try and try, eventually one of them will work for you.
Good luck.

Mirror added

Thank you, it works!
Note: I don't know is that specific just for me, but the phone didn't autostart in CWM after reboot (if that should be happen). It stops on Galaxy Mini 2 logo and doesn't go into CWM. Then I tried recovery key combination (VOLUP+VOLDOWN+HOME) immediately after rebooting and that worked for me. Everything else was as described.

No you can't, you'll need odin to flash any custom recovery first. The stock recovery will just report a signature error.

screen malfunction at startup
I flash this CWM over my N5120,
I am not sure if I get anything wrong in the procedure.
However, everytime I start the machine. It get a screen malfunction.
Cwm and download mode work fine.
Then, I decided to flash back N5120 rom from sammobile thr. odin.
Screen malfunction still exist and I found out that snote will FC no matter which version of rom I flash.
Anyone has any idea on the issue?
How should I fix it?
Thank you very much for help.

May i know how you install this? Newbie here

Um, that s a long story.
First, I flashed CWM6.03.2.
And I found a bit strange at boot up. The screen blink at bootup.
Then, I tried Custom CWM 6.x - N5100 / N5110 / N5120 - Ex#6.
I also restored the rom from sammobile at the same time.
Screen malfunction at boot.
But, everything works fine, except 2 things.
1) CWM factory reset didn't work.
2) Snote FC
I try every cwm in the forum. Nothing change until.......
I flashed PhilZ 5.03.0 and try something like "clean up to install rom" or "prepare to install clean rom" inside the recovery.
After reboot, my machine bricked.
DaDaDa, I should be the first one to brick N5120 in xda because I flashed everything without thinking.
Right now, when i press down+power right now, the machine directly jump to download mode without asking.
However, odin wont detect.
It is not the connection issue. It can connect my note2.
I am now waiting usb jig from ebay and hope THE MIGHTY JIG will at least bring me the real download mode.
emwno said I might have soft bricked the bootloader.
I will keep posting on final result about jig, in case some newbie like me flash everything they saw.

N5100, stock N5100XXBMD1_N5100XEZBMC3_N5100XXBMC8, rooted by framaroot, recovery applied and seems working. Backup done by EFSPro, donation sent (TID:*644C). Terminating connection.

Okay...here's an extremely stupid question: How do you boot into CWM recovery manually on the Note 8? I've tried every button combo I can think of and haven't been successful.
EDIT: Nevermind! Got it. My bumper case must have been interfering with the volume up button. Duh!

Added version for the GT-N5120 , tested by AndyGod and reported to be working.
363 downloads and only 7 people find it worth to click the thanks button? Strange?

Works well on my n5100
Thanks Civ

Great job Civato, work good, and i like full backup

I'm on stock rooted using framaroot. Put my note in download mode, and flashed the tar file through odin. Now, I can reboot into recovery but I can't access anything on my internal storage. Any pointers on what I could be doing wrong? Do I need an external sd card for flashing/nandroid backups etc?
Edit: Looks like its because I have the note encrypted. Will decrypt and then try again.

Is there any way to make it work on portrait mode???
by the way, nice job mate!!!

Can I use mobile odin to install this?

a few folks have, but there is no guarantee that it will work for everyone...
I was able to use it for twrp a few days ago, but didnt try CWN..

Did you use the recovery or pda slot of mobile Odin?

i dont recall Mobile odin asking you for a "slot" choice; using "regular" Odin, PDA slot would be the proper choice..

[Q] Problem with flashing rom (samsung galaxy mini gt s5570)

Hello,
i am new to the forum and i registered in it in order to have a solution on my problem! I downloaded recenlty cyanogenmod for my mobile for your site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085347
Before i had android 2.3.3 in my phone! The problem is when i flash the rom i get this error: E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 0)
I have searched the forum for previous similar threads and i followed many of them! However because i am not very expert in these kind of things i was confused in many points of them (for example one which explaned the root of the problem something has to do with the binary update and a script)..And i was not given detailed commands on solving the problem I formatted my sd card (after taking a backup on my pc) and only transfered after, the update for cyanogen mod 10.1 and the one for the google apps but the same problem occured. I desperately need your help because i cant practically use my mobile and i need it...
So please tell me what should i do.
Thank you in advance! Sorry for my bad english
(i also have rooted long time ago my phone)

If you want to flash custom ROMs, you must have custom recovery, like ClockWorkMod, RZ Recovery or TWRP.
You will need to flash it using Odin first, and then you can change recovery by just flashing packages. (You don't must change recovery after you flash from Odin.)
