Im trying to do an ics update on my rogers captivate... I have the files i need to get it done but i just cant get it into the rom recovery mode. I know a little about this stuff but not a whole lot (learning as i go along!). I have Recovery 3e on it right now and by the sounds of it, this is not going to work to get it into rom recovery mode... so i downloaded the rom explorer and got a file that was supposed to replace 3e with 2e or something of that matter so i can get it in the right recovery mode to upload ics onto my phone. I moved the file to system/bin and renamed the old recovery file recovery.bak i than moved the other recovery file to the same place and changed the permissions! i rebooted my phone and still nothing! Any help would be greatly apreciatted... and dumb it down a bit so i can understand!

Simple way: Download the Heimdall one click in my signature. Backup the stuff on your phone. Go into download mode. Run the one-click. Install the drivers that come with it (it will tell you how). Click the big "flash" button. You will have CWM when it's done, and can flash from there.
^Or you could just flash a kernel with CWM build into it.
The ideal platform for flashing an ICS Rom has to be CWM + Root + Stock GB ROM ( kk4 leak ).
If you got some patience, do it in order.
1. Root your phone.
2. Install CWM recovery.
3. Optional :Flash any GB Rom ( Preferably any one of those captivate leaked roms) using CWM.
4. Download ICS ROM (teamhacksung seems to be stable) and Flash TWICE through CWM
Enjoy

rooting your phone is NOT necessary to install CWM.....
Locked
Do not post questions in General, use Q&A.
I know that. But CWM + Root is good for most guys
Have you fixed the issue yet? If not I know about how to fix it

if you flash a rom, root is included. rooting your phone is NOT necessary to flash a rom....you do know what ROOT actually is right?

Yes . Root is technically a Linux kernel super user privilege

so then you know that it doesnt matter if you have root or not when you are in CWM, since you arent in an OS....?
therefore, ROOTING is not necessary to flash a new rom..
I also am on rogers and what I did was to use an heimdall 1-click package that flashed CWM for me then I used CWM to flash an ICS build.

Did You get this resolved?
If yes, what are the files required, I am new to the android rooting arena
My aunty recently gave my sister a Samsung Galaxy S. I find it laggy and so I want to flash a good rom. I already rooted it. I tried to flash new rom through rom manager, keeps force closing. Stock 2.3 with odin and download mode. Download doesn't work. Apparently it is because my phone is from Optus Australia. I am currently running Android 2.2 Froyo. I have always been a fan of Cyanogen Mod and so I want to flash it.
And so I enter the ClockWorkRecovery and to flash new rom, it has to be called update.zip etc. The ROM file for Cyanogen is update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS. Is it possible to rename this to update.zip so I can flash rom through ClockWorkRecovery? Will it work?
Link to ROM: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32492-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-samsung-galaxy-s-v710-9-oct-2011/
you can try as in this order...
1. rename the ziped rom file as "update.zip"
2. put it on the root drive.(do not put it in any folder or not in the micro sd card)
3. now go to CWM by pressing vloume up + home + power button
4. select "apply /sdcard/update.zip"
if your CWM does not show it on the main manu ->
5. select "install zip from sdcard"
6. select "apply /sdcard/update.zip"
7. select yes
done it should work...
I dont understand....
Why do you can' t flash it normal?
I dont understand....
Why cant you flash it normal?
I dont really know about renaming and flashing it, bit i deffinatly recommend you to flash stock gingerbread first, runs better on gingerbread bootloaders + battery life is way better

Totally agree: flash with Odin the last stock firmware for your area and then root with CF-Root. Now you have the CWM Recovery and are able to flash your file with any name.
You'll need to get into download mode (try adb reboot download after enabling usb debugging on the phone.) If that works, then you can flash the 3-button combo fix, and then flash an alternate firmware using ODIN.

Highly recommend you fix that first. Download mode and 3 button recovery is highly convenient and essential in case a flash goes wrong.

i thought you can choose to install zip from sd card and choose directly which zip file you can use?
in CWM = install zip from sdcard ------choose zip from sd card ; something like that

Tried. Install Rom Mangaer, flash ClockWorkMod. Rebooted. Click install from SD card. The green bar goes to half way then shows up with something aborted. Failed.
Seems a corrupted file.. Have you checked the md5 hash is correct?
Maybe a JIG would help you to run in download mode if it is your problem...
I also think that first of all should be flashing a stock gingerbread using odin, next flash with odin a gingerbread kernel, semaphore, talondev... And then go into recovery and flash the rom you want
Hi all,
I want to install CWM on my rooted SGS however there appears to be on CF Kernel that matches my JVN Kernel so using the CF method is not an option from what I have read.
So I installed ROM Manager and tried to install it that way but I now get signature verification errors when I go into Recovery.
Next I downloaded the recovery image from the CWM website but I cannot seem to find any information on installing it onto a SGS.
If anyone could offer any suggestions it would be appreciated.
TIA
Greg
Edit: Firmware is 2.3.3
Why dont you just flash JVU then Root it
Comes with CWM ....
As I am guessing you want CWM to flash a rom yes?
If so most Roms require ...from my knowledge a clean install of JVU with ODIN before flashing a New Rom

Download this "update.zip". Place it in your SD card. Power off and boot into recovery with the 3 button combination (press power, volume up and home button till you see the boot logo) and select "apply sdcard: update.zip". DO NOT DELETE THIS FROM SD. You should have CWM installed now. Let me know if you have any problem.
You need to root your phone first with update.zip for i9000, download the latest CWM.zip, put it in the storage. Then go to recovery and install the CWM.zip Goodluck flashing!

Can you use any version of JVU? eg: Europe, Asia, Australia. Or, should you only use one for your region, in my case Australia.
I have an Australian verion of JW6 (2.3.6), would that be acceptable?

Thanks for the UPDATE.ZIP, I note it is just a renamed CWM. I did not know you could just rename them and then install them. Thanks.
So, my plan at this stage is to update to 2.3.6 (JW6) and then install CWM via UPDATE.ZIP. Should this work?
TIA
Greg
Yeah you can upgrade first. Flash a firmware or upgrade OTA. You should root your phone first before flashing a custom recovery such as CWM.

Hello fellas. I know you don't like these kind of posts and I agree you're right but I'm completely lost. That's why i'm making this post.
I just installed official 4.1.2 stock rom and it says N7000WELSA rom.
I want to root this. I used "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6" kernel to root that. But after i flashed that nothing happened. Can you guys give me a light on the topic? I'm really new to that stuff and can't see my way out here... Thank you !
How did you flash it? Zip from stock recovery?

Well i downloaded the file "N7000UBLSF_N7000UUBLSF_N7000WELSA_HOME.tar" from Hotfile. And put it in PDA in Odin3 v1.85 and flashed it. I'm writing down every detail because i may have done something wrong.
Then i downloaded "PhilZ-cwm6-UBLSF-UBB-4.87.6.tar" and flashed it the same way.

I used the above tutorials to do so.
If you have used odin to install philz kernel, it will not root. You need to flash the zip version. Or use the supersu.zip file from the following post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
You should now have Cwm recovery. So either flash a zip version of philz kernel or supersu
To get into recovery, use Vol up + power + home

As you are using LSA rom, shouldn't you be using the LSA Philz kernel? For the next time, just flash the zip version in stock recovery and you will get all at once. Root + CWM recovery + Safe kernel.
I don't think it's the rom he's mentioning. It s the baseband for new lsz of a different region.
Do i have to have an External SD Card to use this method ?
now no as you should already have cwm since you pushed philz tar

My last question; Is there a way to format the phone to a state that is just just unboxed? Empty sd card. No programs. Everything clear. My battery is running out real quick and the phone started to slow down a bit. It kinda laggs... And when i flashed the rom it just upgraded the OS. Everything is still the same. Widgets , apps... they are all staying.
??? i dont fully understand. you want to revert to ICS?
No no. I wanna keep JB. But this flashing just upgraded the OS. No files were deleted or so. I just wanna completely format everything on the phone.
yes cuz its a non wipe rom.. boot into philz recovery and wipe data
Thanks again. It did work out. Well i tried to format usb storage using settings>storage> Format USB Storage. But nothing happens and it doesn't format it. Is there any other way ?
Yah. Connect to pc and delete.
Is it safe to select all and delete via computer ?
yes
Hello everyone. There are such topics after each official update for this device and many more.

Hi, so if I understood well, the only thing I have to do to get rooted my S3 with 4.4.4 is to flash the CF-autoroot via Odin, isn't it? Then how can I install a new Superuser.apk if it brings me a force close trying to open the one already installed caused because of Knox?
Has anyone tried that method already? Does it actually work?
this works, but you have to untick "reset" in Odin and after flashing the recovery disconnect it, pull the battery, put it back and start the recovery manually, then flash supersu .zip and the other one that prevents the original recovery to be written back
If you let the phone reboot after flashing custom recovery, it will overwrite the custom one with stock one - tried that earlier today
---
sorry, misunderstand, if you update supersu just open knox and close after it shows you options to lock screen - then the supersu handles knox blocking properly
---
edit2: I tried with supersu by chainfire, didn't test with other party superuser.apk

well, just to be sure, you may not allow the phone to enter normal boot mode after flashing custom recovery
so step-by-step how I did it:
(you have to put both zips from cf-root to your sd card before you proceed any further)
1. phone in download mode, odin->untick "reboot"
2. choose your recovery file->start
3. as soon as you see "reset" in Odin window, you may ignore the message on the phone "do not turn off" and pull the battery
4. re-insert the battery, boot with vol-up+home+power combo (if you don't enter recovery, but the phone boots normally - restart from scratch, as your custom recovery just got overwritten)
5. flash your supersu and recovery disabler (both files from cf-root)
6. you may reboot to system now, set up know, update (or download) supersu from play store, allow to disable knox
that's it, I used philZ touch recovery
--------
info from another forum: it's said you can root with kingoroot
so after you root you can use semi-automated recovery install using skipsoft united - after you root, you send the script to prevent recovery overwriting via adb, you got to download mode, flash your recovery and you're done
Thank you adamuadamu !!!
It works!

Thanks for the explanation adamuadamu,
However, just to be sure, apart from the recovery disabler file, the other CF-Root file that I need to flash is the "update supersu2.02.zip"? I've read a lot of posts explaining the same procedure but no link to the actual files that need to be flashed, and sometimes the reference is to generic names like CF-root and when you search for it there is a lot of different files, etc.. I'm a newbie, so sometimes I don't know if any version of Philz will work or if it's better to use just plain CWM, if CF-auto-root is the way to go or just the old CF-Root (last version for i9305 says is for 4.1.1).
Thanks in advance for the reply and explanation.
Cheers,
Da Fig
Do you have to flash the custom recovery first and then SuperU? Is it possible to just flash SuperU and then using Triangle Away in order to root 4.4.4?
I want root but want to stay as stock as possible.

I remember using some older SuperSu (1.9xx) as the files were already on my SD Card
In case you need proper and updated files and you're a bit afraid of confusing them - google for skipsoft toolkit, choose your device, wait for the program to download appropriate files and then in order to get the files you need, you'd have to (all from my memory, in case you'd need more detailed info, let me know and I can check within couple of hours, as I'm not in front of my private PC now)
1. go to root options and use option to push supersu and recovery disabler to your card
2. let the program reboot your phone into download mode
3. contrary to the advice onscreen, use odin, but untick "Auto Reboot", flash your recovery (the program will show you the path to newest recoveries it downloaded upon first run)
4. wait for the recovery being flashed, disconnect the phone, pull the battery. DON'T CLOSE ODIN yet, you may need it if you fail to boot into recovery directly!
5. start the phone using 3-key combo into recovery. if you fail, you'll need to go back to step 2.
6. flash both files copied in step 1.
7. reboot into system
personally I stick with PhilZ touch, as it always checks for root when leaving recovery and offers to repair it
8. go to play store and download or update supersu by chainfire (whatever applies to you)
9. run SuperSU, agree to disable KNOX
Thanks for the reply adamuadamu, I'll try this and see. Apparently most supersu or the correspondent CF-auto-root will do the trick. I'll try your method first, otherwise I'll start playing with different files.
Cheers.
