I think you need to connect the phone to a computer using a USB cable, reboot to Download mode and flash new ROM using Odin method.

Can not flash CWM :(

Hi I'm trying to install miui for my sister in law on her Galaxy S but I can't seem to install CWM.
I've downloaded rom manager from the market clicked on flash recovery (fist option) then from the list chose samsung galaxy s. The next I clicked on reboot to recovery but when it boots into it, it says at the top Android system recovery (3e)
What am I doing wrong???? :s
PS I don't have a memory card inside my phone trying to install via the internal sd storage. The also I don't have access to my pc so need to do it off my phone. Please any help appreciated thank you.

When you boot into recovery press the buttons a couple of times. Ie, 3button combo to boot, release all the buttons and press the 3buttons again. I have had the same problems on 3sgs's and this seemed to work on them.
No luck
Any one else have any ideas. Please any help is appreciated.

I have clockworkmod recovery installed and when i click on reboot to recovery or use the 3 button configuration it only boots into the android system recovery.
I can not for the life of me get the Cwm recovery to boot up.
Is there a kernel I can flash with rom manager to get cwm installed
Sent from my GT-I9100
It's definitely rooted? What rom is it currently on?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Darkys rom. Plus i have titanium backup installed and backed up my apps. Superuser is working perfectly.
I want to install miui the official rom.
Anyway I can without having to use a pc??
Sent from my GT-I9100
If it's on Darky's rom, it should have cwm already! Not sure if you can do it from your phone now mate.
Once you've got the cwm sorted (hopefully it's a gingerbread rom) you need to format system, data and cache, then flash Miui.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
Ahhh.
Flash darky RE via Odin. But if you are running darky kernel you should have cwm. Uninstall cwm app and try again.

If i understand well, you can't use odin because you don't have PC,right? Well:make sure that your phone is rooted. Go to market and get that application : "sgs kernel flashar " the one by neldar.
Then download a kernel for your firmware, and make sure you download a tar file or obtain a zimage file. Flash it with the application mentioned, you don't need any cwm. After that you flash the new kernel you should have a cwm installed.
If i understand wrong I'm sorry.

Also, if you backed up with CWM you should be able to just restore it...
Download any Ramad's ROM for CWM, put it in SD card and flash via download mode.

Just download the required Files in your Laptop, use CWM> mounts and storage> copy files to your SD card and flash
Install kies and adb. That will ensure that you have all the drivers. Just make sure that kies is not running when you want yo use odin.

I used this link originally to root my phone and it has links for windows drivers for samsung phones.

I also think there are drivers in some of the Odin packages you can download.

CWM recovery 6 does not like O2X and custom ROMs-best is the CWM 5series for me.....but its performance varies according to a few devices and ROMs.
try to pull out battery, wait for sometime and then try it again.USB Cable might also be a spoilsport....check that as well.
As you have tried the Rusty's thread /method(strange it did not work), try the "Unbrick with Stock Clean ROM from Homero"....it is somewhere in the developers section.
Hope it helps you
Maybe this helps you to repair your device, try it

[Q] bootloop in cyanogen 10.1

a few days ago i dropped my galaxy s2 in the toilet(dont laugh) so i went to using my brother's old s plus I9001.
long story short,i tried to upgrade the 2.3.3 to a 4.2.2 Jellybean using this guide : http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4579...alaxy-s-plus-i9001-android-4.htm#.VAWoGfmSzGA
i searched a few other guides beforehand,most of which stated that i need a rooted phone,so i rooted it using a guide i found on this forum(here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001)
this is everything i did :
1. Connect the Galaxy S Plus to your computer.
2. Unrar the CM 10.1 firmware RAR file you have downloaded
3. Copy the CM 10.1 firmware you have extracted from the unrar file to the SD card of your phone.
4. Turn off the Galaxy S Plus.
5. Reboot the device into Recovery mode. Press Volume up + Home + Power keys simultaneously. You can flash this ROM using the stock recovery or a custom recovery app.
6. In the Recovery mode, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition."
7. Then select "install zip from SD card" and "choose zip from SD card." Search for the firmware you have copied on the device.
8. Select the firmware file and install it.
9. Go back and select "reboot system now."
so everything went well,until i tried rebooting the device.im stuck now at the cyanogenmod logo.basically i have a boot loop isue.
being a noob at these kind of things,my first thought was that my phone had bircked,so i followed an unbricking tutorialobviously,it didnt work.
can you please help me solve this bootloop s**t? :good::good:
First of all flash TWRP (Recovery).
Then download CM 10.2 from here and copy it in your internal SD card.
Boot into Recovery.
Do a Data & Cache wipe and finally flash CM 10.2.
Optionally: Flash Gapps (Google Apps)

try using Aroma File Manager here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 it won't install to your phone, it's a temporary file manager that you flash in recovery.

Flash CWM Recovery using Odin.
Read this (How to install ODIN Version).
Download the following:

Make sure the Samsung USB Drivers are installed. Also uninstall/disable KIES (if it's installed).
i did that but it didnt work.i found out that the computer only recognizes my phone when it's in download mode,so i can only flash through odin.currently trying to flash cwm,but it beats me.currently trying to return to a stock rom,will post updates
