[Q] How do I install clockwork mod? - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I downloaded and installed 4.1.2. I want to put an CWM and then root files, but I am getting stuck on the CWM install.
Apparently there are 2 files: CWM.zip and UPDATE.zip. The process, as I understand it, is to boot into stock recovery mode,
install CWM.zip from the external SD card (I don't see an option in recovery for installing from the internal SD card. Then during the install press the home key and the screen simultaneously and the phone supposedly goes into CWM, from which you can install UPDATEzip.
So, I booted into stock recovery mode. I installed CWM.zip and pressed home and the screen. Nothing happens.
After that, I thought maybe the ROM Manager would do it. But after downloading that from the app store, it turns out there isn't a version for the 9070, just the 9000. It offered a choice of manual, older CWMs, but they wouldn't install either. Then ROM Manager told me I needed to root first. OK, so I rooted. But how do I get a current CWM?
P.S. I read the Complete Guide to CWM that is on XDA. Very informative except it left out how to install it
Thanks

By installing kernel with CWM embended. CoCore is our only kernel with support now.
Root phone.
Install CoCore-E, Harsh build. (Unzip it, use kernel.bin.md5 with Universal Kernel flasher, and you will need some root explorer like ES file explorer to use file with Universal kernel flasher.

Thanks for the advice. I am rooted. I have ES File Explorer. I am concerned that the Harsh build (via the link you put there) is a test build. Can I trust it to be stable or is there an earlier, tried and true build? I was thinking of using 7.0 CWM Touch that is listed in post #4 on the cocore thread.

7 has some freez problem, I use that Harsh version, and I did not have freez. Install it, and wait for CoCore 7.xx.

I installed the Harsh version. There was one little episode with a shaking home screen, which went away after a restart. Everything else seems okay so far.

[Q] Is it possible to flash without sd card?

Sorry for the newbie question, but is it possible to flash checkrom zip, from internal storage with cwm recovery? i tried and it just freezed on the samsung screen under startup, so i had to flash back to stock rom with odin to fix...
Short answer : yes
Long answer : i'm not sure of that particular order of tasks. But once you get CWM working properly then yes you can flash from internal storage.
MAYBE there is a bug getting CWM working the way you are trying but I would just try it again. 5% of the time something goes wrong with the flash process and that's probably what happened to you.

re:
damn, something strange happend here, after i flashed back the stock rom with odin and got the mobil to start again,the superuser doesnt work... the app isnt there, I get an error message every time I start the phone sayin: error reading hardware from internal interface, and if i try to use apps that need superuser premision. and the kitchen pro app has popped up, it doesnt work but it seems that I am on Checkrom then? WTF!! the phone seems to be heatin more than usual also.. i flashed back to KK5 stock room, and CWM got deleted. now i cant get it back over on CF- root cuz I get error when i try to do so, probebly cuz the superuser problem.., i need CWM so i can reflash.. FML! what can I do?
yes you can, you will find an option to select "install zip from internal sd", which doesn't require ext sd.
superuser
Sure you can install superuser from market.

You have lost root after flashing the stock ROM, that's why your root apps won't run. You need to root your phone again. Just go to Dr.Ketan's thread and follow the instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
Youll get your root and CWM Recovery back.
And, as D. Adams said, don't panic.

Yeah sorry got that on my phone as zip, only just installed that, i need to start following the instructions proper. So i can use that to install cm10 from my phone. I'll give it a try
thanks.
I try to install the cm-10.1-20130211-EternityProject-x3 zip using the lg 4x recovery app. I install it from ext sd card but says installation abborted?? GAPPS says it installs ok doing it that way but when i reboot in stays on LG screen and says Security error??
i've reflashed my phone back to normal v10h, going to root it again but dont want to keep doing this,,,not sure what im doing wrong? am i using the wrong cm10???
Again you need to install this via CWM recovery. And if sd card is not working try copying the files to phone memory as well. It may work.
Do it properly. Dont get into bricking your phone. Instructions are clear.

[Q] About Root Problems

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

Root.zip can be flashed in stock recovery. If you want permanent cwm,you must flash CocoreE kernel with Universal Kernel Flasher.
-Download CoCore E kernel and extract 'kernel.bin.md5'
-Flash it with using UKF

Ofcourse it boot normaly after rooting. What you expect to be after root? It just gives you root permissions. Nothing is changed in visual.
To get CWM use CoCore, UNZIP IT and transfer KERNEL.BIN.MD5 to phone, install Universal kernel flash and some explorer with root permissions like ES FILE EXPLORER. Open Universal kernel flasher, and open kernel with it and install it. Both things you have in Play store. Before doing this you need to root it.
P.S. To enter recovery turn off phone, and power on by holding Volume Up + Home (hardvare key below screen) and Power at the same time untill phone vibrate.

1. That is stock recovery.
2. Root your phone, HOW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jij-Bssni1s
3. Install CoCore HOW: Download it from here, unzip it and put kernel.bin.md5 to your phone (remeber where you put it). Use one with CWM, it is most similiar with stock one (that you do not get confused) Then install Universal kernel flash and ES File explorer. In Universal kernel flash thread is explanation how to use it, read it.
4. Reboot to recovery like you did (now it will not be stock one) and than you can install custom rom.
You can't install custom rom from stock recovery, that is why you need to do all this.
Dude the video you sent me has already costum recovery, i dont! And i rooted the phone already using this guide here http://www.androidrooting.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s-advance-i9070-gingerbread-2-3-6/

Wait, that root method is for Gingerbread? You have GB?
If that is correct than install custom rom for gb only. Your solution is to repartition sd card. That's why you can't see it. I had the same problem, and I am telling you from my expirience. Search xda with "how to repartition sd card". Like I told you on my first post on this thread.

Yes. For begining would you read my post that you just quoted. JetMOD is GB ROM. You can't just install GB ROM over CM. You can't even install JB ROM over CM (you need to change kernel first).
For JetMOD downgrade to GB, root and install custom recovery and than JetMOD.

If you want to be on JB still, then download your firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398
Do you have I9070P??? If you do do not install non P firmware, you will HARD BRICK PHONE!!! That error 7 was shown because you used wrong version of CM, if you have P than you should download for P.
P.S. Your sim card will work if you do FACTORY RESET. It should be always done on every ROM change.
