Hi all
I am using a Galaxy S I9000 International running stock 2.1.1.
I have rooted my device using super one click (psneuter exploit).
As far as i understand it, this is the process i now need to complete:
1) Install ROM Manager
2) Using RM, flash CWM Recovery ROM.
3) Boot into recovery, and create a Nandroid backup
4) Flash Darky's / CWM / Cyanogen ROM for everlasting happiness.
I am having endless trouble with step 2 and 3.
In RM, i flash CWM Recovery ROM. But then when i boot into recovery, it still runs the old stock android recovery <2e>. I've repeated this flashing & reboot process 5 times with no luck.
Please will someone provide me with an easy noob approach, and please try to explain tech jargon if you use it.
MANY thanks!
FORGET that i read your post wrong

personally I have never used rom manager to flash CWM I always use odin and do a kernel flash you should find kernel files (.tar's) at around 6-7MB which included the CWM mod) all you need is the pit and the kernel all done in a few seconds simply reboot to download mode and use odin to falsh the new kernel.
the file I regularly use is called CF-Root-XX_XEU_JPY-v1.3-BusyBox-1.17.1.tar flashed it dozens of times it's never let me down I found it on this forum somewhere.
once you have that on you can install pretty much anything from recovery mode in CWM.
Hey pros …
I just flash cm10 rom and stuck on cm10 boot screen.
1. Flash abyss kernel 4.2
2. Flash cm10 rom and JB GAPP
3. Reboot and stuck on boot screen
4. Try to get into CWM by using button combo but it won't get me into CWM and it straight go to boot screen
I SERIOUSLY NEED HELP !!!!!!!
Can anyone help me Galaxy note is the best phone I ever had I don't want to lose it pls help me pls ……
Normally you can fix this by doing a wipe/factory reset in CWM but since you cannot enter CWM i dont know.
If u really cannot get into CWM maybe its best to start over.
Flash the CM9 kernel with odin and try to enter CWM after that and flash CM10+gapps again. (dont forget to do the wipe/factory reset)
It should boot without probs.

You flashed a bleeding edge rom without even reading the 1st Page containing the instructions. What's the point of doing instructions if they aren't used. Go back and read and preferably stay on stock until you understand what you are doing

You need to flash cm based roms from cm base which is best to flash from gb rom. Which version were you trying to install?
If you can get into download mode, flash a root able gb rom and root, add cwm, then flash cm10

I had exactly the same problem earlier tonight... CM10 completely nuked my phone, couldn't boot into recovery or anything...
working on getting it back now using a stock GB Rom and Odin (PC) as i could still access download mode... hopefully can recover that way, fingers crossed...
not sure what the problem is, but i'm staying away from CM10 previews until all the bugs are sorted out now...

That's why when you are a noob and have never flashed any custom rom on your device, the best way to avoid a brick and to come here later looking for help when your phone is bricked is to read the ENTIRE thread even if it is 50 pages long! There will also be people who have bricked their phone on the rom's main thread and you will learn a lot by reading everything!

I no expert nor noob, I was.
but reading 50 pages ? total crap
I never do that, there is google, you can almost always find a short answer.
as far as I know, he didn't do anything wrong. I did the same, it work, he did it, it didn't work. guess what, the 50 pages didn't help at all.
the 50 pages can help as last option. or not.
Flashing CM ROM must come from untampered CM nightly not TW-based ROM
1- Use PC Odin to flash stock firmware - preferably Gingerbread (we all know ICS issues)
2- Reboot the phone, let the ROM start & check if u still have root
3- If not : Re-root your phone, Please check Drketan threads for rooting directions
4- When rooted : Reboot into recovery
5- Do full wipe (data - cache - dalvik) 3 times in a row
6- Do System format - go to advanced & choose Format /system
7- Now flash a stable CM base.. I prefer using the latest CM10 nightly (not CM-based ROM)
8- Now without rebooting, flash your preferred CM-based ROM.. I use PA by Utacka
9- Flash Gapps (if your ROM doesn't have them included.. plz read original post (OP) of the corresponding ROM)
10- Re-clean Cache & Dalvick .. only once
11- Reboot & Enjoy
I totally agree with Final5K.. I still read the instructions carefully, I even read some threads backwards to know the issues with the build and perhaps the fixes.. Unless, you would like to superbrick your phone.. that's up to you
CM roms are cmpletely ok. usually the op says to do factory reset after flashing rom before booting or it will get stuck on logo.
I'm following this tutorial on how to root my Orange UK GT-I9305 LTE Unlocked phone running 4.1.2.
Everything goes fine with Odin the phone reboots, then I unplug and turn off my phone, and boot into recovery mode only to find it hasn't installed and Android system recovery 3e is still there.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Not flashing as instructed is the usual .Like unzipping the file or wrong file faulty file download .
Try another recovery.

I did follow them to the letter, does installing CWM Recovery actually root the phone or is "rooting" the phone a different process entirely that's required for installing CWM Recovery?.

I initially had a rooted stock ROM that i was using for ages then upgraded to a custome ROM but for personal reasons decided to go back to stock.
Loaded stock ROM with intention of rooting only to get rid of bloatware, but not one of the ODIN Flash recoveries work at all, not one, so like you ended up using CF Auto and that worked but now im still stuck with Stock Recovery. I dont understand why none of the recoveries flash when they did before.

trouble with cwm/ twrp
Hi all. Yes I'm a noob and I wouldn't ask If hadn't tried a plethora of ways to install either cwm or twrp.
It took me a good hour to find this thread so hope I'm in the right place.
Ok I used odin to root and cwm didn't stick so still on stock rec. However I used framaroot to get super su working and titanium says I'm all rooted up. Other apps only for root also work.
I've since tried using goo manager and Rom manager to install cwm or twrp and both say unsupported.
I've searched these here threads and found a few with same problem namely when using odin cwm wont stick and android reinstalls stock recovery.
So I'm a bit stuck, I'm rooted but have no cwm or twrp.
Any help would he much appreciated.
Try Philz recovery .
I have never used a custom recovery on this phone but i think i read somewhere that when flashing by odin the thing to do is not let odin reboot the phone. untick the reboot option. then when odin is done flashing and says pass shut down the phone . dont let it boot up.once phone is off you can boot into recovery by vol up+hom+power Here is the tricky part. as soon as you see the white samsung start to load aka bootloader screen release the power button but continue to press volume up and home. you should see the circle with the hat symbol. and enter into clockworkmod once in clockwork mod you will need to wipe data cache and dalvick DO NOT WIPE SYSTEM then flash a custom rom zip that you have previously copied to either your extsdcard or sdcard0 at the same time you probably will want to flash gapps as well. the thing is if you boot up before entering recovery . the default native recovery from samsung will take its place back. maybe it is easier to just flash rom manager in the play store. flash clockworkmod and then boot into recovery from the app itself. I9300 is supported . dont know about I9305
thanks !

Thats exactly how I understood the cwm not sticking problem. I have tried rom manager and said not compatable with my device as did goo manager for twrp. I think odin is the only way I get it to stick. So il flash in odin and il try to get into cwm as it boots and wipe those two files you mentioned.
But then can I just boot up as normal ? or will android try to reflash its stock rom ? Damn my phone for being so difficult
I only ask because I haven't decided what CR to use yet (or even looked for any). I was gonna get it all ready first then learn how to install a CR - 1 thing at a time i thought.
Anyway thanks for your help :good:
JJEgan I found Philz thread to be helpful but something I feel Im just not ready for. Im new to this and although the updated cwm looked cool there were just to much going on, maybe for a later day.
Thanks all the same :good:
wiping data plus cache plus dalvick cache is done to prepare your phone for the custom rom that you are going to flash. the wiping is to clean those partitions because if they are not erased you will have problems. especially if you go from one android version to another or touchwiz to aosp. it is done so you get a clean install with minimal issues. if it is not done you will most likely bootloop. effectively it is a factory reset. all of your apps and app data will be gone so you do not want to do that unless you have backed up your apps . however sometimes google automatically installs them after you sign in.
I am not sure why clockwork mod does not stick but if you copy the rom you want to your phone install clockworkmod with odin and then use clockwork mod to flas the rom and gapps package then factory reset you will not have the stock recovery anymore. but this has to be done without booting into android stock . PLEASE FOLLOW THE FLASHING INSTRUCTIONS TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY. AND UNDERSTAND ANYTIME YOU FLASH OR MODIFY YOUR PHONE YOU VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND POSSIBLY CAN CAUSE IRREPARABLE DAMAGE. BEST OF LUCK!

Ok that's sounds good. However I've just read the threads you linked and now I've got to back up my imei and NV files first or il loose them when flashing. The procedure is all there and seems doable for a noob but i read some peeps are having trouble just doing that. I really wanted to root/install a CR regardless of the troubles cos I want full access and more importantly want to learn all the ins and outs so I can get the best use from my phone so glad I found this forum cause I'm sure I would have bricked my phone otherwise.
Might I ask if I've got this right tho?
1: backup imei/NV files
2: use odin to get cwm to stick using your method
3: boot into cwm to wipe data/dalvick cache and gapps
4:use cwm to flash a CR
5:factory reset
I think that's right?

Thank-you for all that,I really appreciate it.
Can I ask the difference between the apps nandroid manager and titanium? I've backed up with both and wondered if i really needed to? The nandroid backup was nearly 3gb!
Also I was gona backup with qpst for imei and NV files but then read its only for US versions? Will the backup of efs folder include those?
honestly i really dont know what the differences are. l do not use custom recoveries or custom roms. i dont use titanium backup .Any rom I flash i get from sammobile.com. one reason i do not use custom roms is that none can support mhl. I use a monitor and bluetooth mouse and keyboard . without mhl I cant mirror my screen so i always stay with stock roms. i use Xposed framework for modifications.

Hi There,
Just wondering if anyone had any ideas why my phone refuses to co-operate!
Basically, after getting bored of the stock rom when I first got my phone, I somehow managed to install a CM based rom. That worked, but I got bored of the fact that the camera never seemed to work right, and some apps didn't work/ were graphically buggy. Assuming it was just a badly ported graphics driver or whatever, I found a way, using FlashTool, to revert to the stock rom (C6603_10.3.1.A.0.244_Generic UK to be precise). I wasn't sure exactly what it did, but it was back how it used to be. sorted.
So, since kitkat made it's way to the XZ, I thought I'd try one of those roms, being the curious bugger that I am. The process I ended up going with eventually was:
>Downgrading Kernel to a lower version because the root explot wouldn't work on 10.3.1.A.0.244
>Rooting using "DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18"
>Upgrading kernel to one that would accept a recovery
>Installing TWRP
>Booting into recovery, CWM appeared instead. Strange, I thought. Oddly, mount USB wouldn't work at all, so I had to boot the phone back up to transfer the kitkat rom over
>Trying to flash the rom gave me an error number 7
>Boot Loop, at which point I just flashed 10.3.1.A.0.244 again.
I've tried this twice now, first with DooM Kernel, and then once with a different one. Neither CWM or TWRP have worked properly. Any help? Or am I just cursed?
Cheers
Tried this again, did literally everything I could think of and still no dice. Help? Have I somehow forced my phone to be on stock software forever?
If you dont unlock your bootloader, you can not use any kind of custom kernel.
That means aosp or aokp based firmwares can not run over locked bootloader.
Locked bootloader checks sign of kernel, if not certificated you will stuck on bootloop.
If you want to use any kind of custom rom... basicly.
1. Backup ta partition. " so you can revert any time you want."
2. Copy firmware zip file tou your internal or external sdcard.
3. Flash custom kernel. "Most of kernel have recovery option build in".
4. Boot in recovery mod. "Mostly press volume down while booting"
5. Insall custom rom.
6.a wipe dalvik-cache
6.b factory reset
Old setting might work or not with new rom. So first try to wipe dalvik- cache. If you stuck on boot loop or any kind of problem, just boot in recovery again and run factory reset.

Hey, thanks for your reply!
I had unlocked the bootloader when I first got the phone and just assumed it would be permanent. Would flashing it back to stock firmware re-lock the bootloader?
But yes, assuming my boot loader is still unlocked ( I have tried to check and it doesn't seem to be locked) I have been through those steps basically. I am fine to flash a kernel with a recovery but the recovery never works properly/ at all. I can root the phone no problem though.
Best to extract the boot.img from the zip file of the ROM you want to flash, and flash that first. Then flash the ROM from its recovery.

Cheers, I'll give that a go - I was under the impression that you weren't supposed to flash kernels that weren't designed for the currently installed ROM though? It just seems that any kernel I flash isn't working properly so I didn't think doing that would play any nicer with the phone

You're not actually going to boot into your current rom after flashing the kernel.
Flash the kernel via fastboot, then boot into recovery and flash the rom.
All this should be covered in the installation instructions of whatever rom you're trying to flash in any case....
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk
Well, that seems to have done it! Thanks very much for your help.
So, I guess the moral here is that if you're on stock and need a recovery to flash a new ROM, always use the boot.img from the ROM you'll be using.
Thanks again - I'd never seen that said before but quite possibly I wasn't paying attention!
Hi I am back with new questions.
I was able to unlock and root my M7 using the video guide here.
These are the things I have done so far with the help of this great forum.
1. Unlock
2. Root
3. Flash CWM Recovery
My next question is, what is the best (in your opinion) Custom ROM available with Sense 7? By best I mean to say less or no bugs at all or no issues.
Can I flash all kinds of ROMS using CWM Recovery?
Is it easy to flash new ROMS? Please share your knowledge or link me to a good guide on how I go about with flashing new ROM using CWM.
Thanks in advance!

First of all, rom recommendations are against the rules, so have a look through each sense 7 rom that your interested in and see what features it comes with and which to try to best suit your needs, each op has instructions on how to flash etc.
sense roms will require the latest twrp recovery not cwm, that's something you'll have to change, you'll have all sorts of problems, like boot loops flashing with cwm.
a backup in recovery of your current rom is highly recommended first incase you need to revert.
flashing a custom rom is as easy as downloading the rom.zip, copy to your internal storage, reboot to recovery, factory reset and / or wipe, except internal storage, and then install the rom, follow the on screen instructions during the installer, and don't forget, first boot can take upto 10 to 15 mins.

I apologize if I asked for any recommendations here. Can you pm me instead?
Btw, on the topic with changing the recovery, do I just flash it directly? Please enlighten me so I can install TWRP instead of CWM.
Also, just to add, I usually read the last few pages of any rom I'm interested in to see what problems user's are currently experiencing with the latest version of that rom.

To flash twrp recovery, you'll need to know how to use adb and fastboot commands, then just download the latest version from here http://dl.twrp.me/m7/ this is assuming you have the normal GSM HTC One M7_UL
Put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot files on your computer and then reboot your phone to the bootloader.
Plug your phone into the computer and then issue the commands.
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery-file.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-boootloader
You now have twrp recovery.
