ClockworkMod Recovery doesn't install over Samsung 3e

Friends, It seems that some users have successfully run ClockworkMod Recovery, but I myself have had no joy. The past two days I scoured this forum for fixes. I'll admit this is my first attempt to flash a custom ROM, and no little about Android, but as a legacy COBOL/DB2 programmer, I thought I was up to the challenge. Could you please review my procedure and advise.
Reference threads:

[ASK]Answers to all your questions...!
[RECOVERY] 3e Recovery Modded w/ No Verification
PROBLEM:
Using ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod Recovery, ROM MGR indicates current
recovery is ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2 but DOESN'T DOWNLOAD FASTY II ROM or do anything except reboot into Samsung Recovery 3e or the stock at&t ROM. (note: originally I wanted to install Cognition 4.5.3, but decided on FASTY II in the download list for my inaugural installation.)
PLATFORM:
Samsung SGH-I897 Captivate for at&t
Firmware: stock 2.2 I897UCKB1 at&t froyo update from eclair
COMPLETED TASKS:
(note that before executing procedures I would open App Mgmt and force close most running apps including LookOut Security).
Set option Settings/Applications/Development/USB Debugging
Rooted phone
App software intsalled: SuperUser v3.0.7(41) bin v3.0.3
App software installed: Titanium Backup - returned SU auth allowed
Ran backups - normal eoj
App software installed: ROM Manager premium - returned SU auth allowed
Ran ROM Manager ClockworkMod Recovery - normal eoj returned CWM installed and displayed BOTH Current and Latest Recovery as ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
Ran ROM Manager Download - no exceptions, but result was undetermined.
Here, after perusing the XDA-Dev forum, I determined the following fix was in order to allow unsigned program execution:
App software installed: Root Explorer v2.17.2
Copy modified '3e' Recovery file to \System\bin
Rebooted and flashed CWM again via Rom Manager - same as before: no exceptions, but no variances.
Discovered one post advising to:
Remove external SD card and reboot per forum thread and Reran CWM Recovery, but still no variance or exception.
THIS IS THE CURRENT STATE.
I didn't continue with DesignGears post:
"Also you cannot just replace the recovery file... you have to replace the images
in sbin or in the zImage its self, otherwise you get errors and cannot do anything." because I don't understand the terminology. Could someone please elaborate on this specification?
So, I'd really appreciate a second set of eyes here before I run through this whole routine again. I haven't read every thread here, but if someone could direct me to the answers, I'd be grateful. Thanks for your help.

Click my signature link below. There u will find a link to a Guide that will give u ur answers.

I went with the ODIN installation and it worked to a tee.
A note for Noobs: Before you start check the specs for your ROM to see if it's based on Android 2.2 (froyo) or 2.3 (gingerbread) to determine which kernel to flash. The chefs use abbreviations (i.e. cognition is based on KB1) that you can look up the meaning for in this post:
IF HAVEN'T ALREADY, READ THIS FIRST

It does not matter which you use.
This is a transitory kernel and the entire point of flashing it to get cwm is to FLASH A CUSTOM ROM, which will flash a compatible kernel with it.
So, there is no need to boot into the os after the initial kernel flash, just boot into recovery after, which will now be cwm and flash whatever.
Unless you're going from froyo to gingerbread, then yo will need to flash the correct bootloaders with Odin/heimdall

3e recovery problem..need help on file location...
Hi,
I have been looking at information on putting the 3e recovery .zip file on my phone. I watched a video, this really should be simple BUT, things are never simple for me!
I followed instructions UNTIL I came to
Copy modified '3e' Recovery file to \System\bin
I have a recovery with permissions rwxr-xr-x 404.77k in the ROOT
I have another recovery.rc permissions rw-r -- r -- 1.99k in the ROOT
When I go to the system/bin (via Root Explorer) there is NO recovery in there.
Can I/or should I copy over the recovery (404.77k) in ROOT?
or should I put the 3e recovery file in the \System\bin?
Could this be because I did NOT root with superoneclick and used the Fugu Root Method and it put the recovery file in a different directory?
ConfusedThanks for any help.

It is much simpler to flash a custom kernel with cwm included with Odin.

gramme66,
If u r still running stock i897uckk4, then just get the .tar version of this kk4 based kernel [KERNEL][KK4][12/10/11] Corn Kernel v6.03 w/ custom CwM5, Ext4, working nandroid and put it in the PDA slot of Odin3 v 1.83 or similar and connect ur phone in download mode to ur pc and hit start after Odin shows recognition of ur phone. It only takes Odin about 8 seconds to install, then ur phone will reboot. Afterwards u can use the button combo (hold volume+ and volume - and power button at same time until u see the att splash screen. Then release and u should be in CWM Recovery).
Here is an Odin (extract it from the .zip once u have it on ur pc. Then right click it and run as administrator, click the PDA tab, navigate on ur pc to the .tar Corn Kernel, and etc.)... View attachment 858759

Can you give me a link to a custom kernel with cwn?

Thanks you so much for the link I do know how to do that but I DON'T know if I have the stock I897uckk4 or not.
Here is what is in my about phone:
Model Samsugn_ SGH I897
Firmware version 2.3.3
Basebane version
I897UCK1
kernel version
2.6.35.7-I897UCK1-CL273832
Build number
GB.UCKF1
Can I do that with this?
Thank you soooo much for this help
gramme

U r runnning the leaked stock android 2.3.3 i897uckf1 firmware.
I believe the kernel will work for you. It is backwards compatible as well. See this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19962226&postcount=720
Be sure to use the latest kk4 corn kernel version 6.03 found Here.

Thanks again for your response. I have just finished flashing that kk4 corn kernel version 6.03. Now, it boots in until it says media scanning complete and starts to boot over again and again and again LOL....
What do I do now?
Thanks

what was the original reason you wanted cwm? to flash a rom? cause...you have the that you need to do that now.
power down...both volume buttons and power til you see the at&t screen then let go, that will boot into cwm.
from there, plug your phone into pc, go to mounts and storage, and mount usb storage, the on your pc tranfer rom to your internel sdcard...

Got an issue. After following the steps on page 1 of this thread, I then download ROM Manager, installed Clockwork Recovery (but didn't get the Samsung Captivate option), then I rebooted into Revovery, and my screen got stuck. All it showed was "CwM recovery systems corps" and a gray bar at the bottom of the screen. So, I pulled the battery, rebooted, and the Clockwork Recovery mode came up just fine. I think I did something wrong. Can you help?

where in the first page were you told to use ROM manager at all?
wtf is wrong with people not reading the warnings nearly everywhere on this board?

You are absolutely right, not very nice, absolutely right. I realized that NOWHERE to be found were the words ROM Manager on the first page. It's just that I've always automatically used ROM Manager to go into Clockwork Recovery. Anyway, I unstalled it, and the method now works flawlessly.

yep. i'm a ****. i have learned to live with it over the years, yet i dont expect anyone else to learn to live with it in one afternoon.

You took the right one for your firmware, there are many many versions from cf-root ...?
Flash it again, sometimes it failed by me, too ...
I flashed again and it works ... Only kernel
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

flashing 10 different firmware is enough??
I really don't know what to do!!!
this is what appear when I try to wipe data/factory reset:

you used odin to flash a cf-root kernel.. for some reason (either it was a wrong kernel or something else) your rom is not booting... the one I told to flash is a stock rom / darkryrom which comes with its own kernel..
If you are saying that you used the link I posted and then also you are having bootloop but still able to go to download mode then I don't know how to explain it..

As I said, a pic would be better to identify the problem... and if you are not facing any problem with darkyrom, flash that and then choose any rom of your choice and follow the instructions given in the first post of the rom to flash it...
I recommend staying on darky's for sometime and read about different roms and stuff to make a choice..

the zip file that you get here, unzip it.. there will be three files.. pda, modem (phone) and csc files.. download .pit file from here ..
in odin put all the 4 files.. tick repartition, reboot and reset time and flash.. this should make your phone work..

It doesn't work with this firmware always the same problem
I think there is a problem with the internal memory, have you seen the first photo?
formatting data it gave me this:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
seems that it can't access to the memory

earlier you wrote that you could only find .tar and .dll file in the zip downloaded from sammobile.com, how were you able to flash that?
I read through the other threads.. found three more methods to try to get rid of this problem..
First one
using odin just flash the pit file first.. click on repartition but don't click on auto reboot... after its a success... flash rest of the three files I mentioned earlier (you didn't get those three files from the firmware you downloaded from sammobile.com, I don't know why, so maybe this won't work for you)
Second
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/
use the above link to download Darky resurrection rom 9.2 .. its a froyo rom I know.. but first lets get your phone working then we can upgrade it to GB... This may work as I think it converts partitions to ext4 system (not sure) so that rfs system error that you were getting shouldn't cause any problems..
Third
Darky Resurrection 10.2
This also uses lagfix that is converting partition to ext4 but as mentioned in the link, it doesn't convert /system in ext4...
Also, go through the link below

maybe something in here could help

Keep an eye on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567394&page=2
a link will be posted here in sometime where you'll be able to get all the three files along with the pit file for the stock rom.. That is the last thing as per me that can rectify your problem.. once you get all the files.. flash... if that doesn't work then I'll suggest download the stock rom for your region from sammobile and flash it even if its just one tar file before taking it to the service centre

It's just another form of download mode. It's the download mode when there isn't any rom installed on your phone I think. What you should do is to go to that screen, plug in your USB cable, and flash stock rom via odin.
Try following the guide in my sig.

dude i have one samsung galaxy y gt-s5360 and samsung galaxy 5 gt-i5500. i have flashed those two a hundred times using odin and never got any problem! den why i am getting stuck in galaxy mini only? even the procedure is all the same if flashing via odin in any of these samsung android phones!

Since you have experience in flashing phones you should've know that stock recovery is useless for custom roms... try getting USB jig, it might help... you can make your own very cheap, tietgan posted guide about it and I know that guide works, bcause I made one on my own and tested it

Flashing via odin only, doesn't mean u know how to flash custom roms. Anyways, u should've flashed cwm via odin and then using cwm for custom rom. So last resort is usb jig (as said by yackovsky) which should work most of the time. Else its service centre with the excuse u updated OS and the phone does not work now. Gud luck. Hope u get the mini back from the dead.

Rename ur ops file to TASS_v1.0.ops (for galaxy mini). This should work. Mbib download problem occurs only due to wrong name of ops file.
Also, note that if ur ops file name is wrong, You'll not see ur device model number on odin's title bar.
Hope this helps!!

It's just another form of download mode. It's the download mode when there isn't any rom installed on your phone I think. What you should do is to go to that screen, plug in your USB cable, and flash stock rom via odin
Try following the guide in my sig.

If both download modes don't work, then its service center. They may even reject the repairs, but all up to u.

dahh...see, even a small mistake like that can't be seen by some one who has a lot of experience in flashing via odin like you...be more gentle :good:

Flash cwm with odin.... And make sure your drivers are up to date.

Rename ur ops file to TASS_v1.0.ops (for galaxy mini). This should work. Mbib download problem occurs only due to wrong name of ops file.
Also, note that if ur ops file name is wrong, You'll not see ur device model number on odin's title bar.
Hope this helps!!

You already had a thread made for the same error few days back. The same question.. did you try flashing a rom using the PIT file? http://d-h.st/FVh (Don't use it if you have 32GB model.).
In your previous thread you said 4.0.4 works fine? whats the status now?

yesterday, i flashed ics 4.0.4 on ics i got no error in recovery mode. but after flashing ics 4.0.4 i updated to 4.1.2 via kies and then inserted simcard n rebooted and i get same error..since then i tired 2.3.5,4.0.4,4.1.2 firmware and i get same error..yes i flashed pit file too. stil no luck

if i flash philz kernel via odin i get no access to recovery. i only get download mode

Once you flash philz kernel using odin.. remove the usb cable, remove the battery.. re-seat the battery after 10 seconds.. then press vol up+home+power till you see the GT N7000 screen.. then leave the keys. See if you can get to CWM.

[Q] Stock Recovery Problem

Hello,
First, i install a cwm for galaxy s advance here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987313 and i did everything according to what the developer instruct us to do, like pressing vol up+ power button + home button for stock recovery and apply update from sd card and find the update.zip(which is the cwm). While installing it stops and says that:
E:failed to verify the whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
install_package = (2)
i'm not sure what's problem: is it my phone, or the cwm file itself. My galaxy s advance android version is 2.3.6(gingerbread).
Is there someone who can help me?
Regards,

OMG ... You did not read carefully you buddy. That you install the CWM for the stock ROM JB (4.1.2) or [Recovery] CWM 6.0.2.8 [JB Compatible]. :crying: Not for OS Gingerbread. If you want to do you have to do the firmware update first to stock ROM Jelly Bean (4.1.2) via Odin.

No, you can not flash CWM from GB. Because CWM can only be flashed with JB. So you need to update the system prior to JB.
Or read how to guide here how to do a system update from GB to JB.

Hello There,

Hm .. Well.
first:
Why do I have to recommend you to install CWM to go through the stock ROM JB (4.1.2)?!. Coz SPECIAL S ADVANCE DEVICE that using OS GB till now still haven't found a thread is in this forum, and in other forums outside of this forum. And this is in accordance with the suggestions from those users advanced level, up from the creator of the application. If you still contains hard, want to install CWM in GB, are welcome, but I would not recommend it, of course, do at your own risk.
second:
If you look at the friends that you can install CWM, confirmed the developer has given his support to the device in order to install CWM via OS GB. I hope it's understandable.
For more details information, please consult the the advanced level users such as:
1. Senior @shut_down
2. Senior @R_a_z_v_a_n

Simply, we do not have CWM made for GB, we have TWRP. We have recovery embedded in same partition as kernel, so if we want permanent CWM we MUST flash kernel with CWM. - Is it more clear now?
Some phones has separate partition for recovery, so they can install it that way. And our phone is not compatible with ROM manager, Mobile Odin and all similar stuff.
Do not compare other phones options, because it is differed.
Most important thing is - what do you want to do? If you asked that in first place, we would cut to the chase and save you a lot time.

I guess you have to guide him to do the installation Stock ROM JB, Senior.

Maybe he do not want Stock JB ROM.
BTW to save time:
Download JB firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com, DOWNLOAD IT FOR YOUR PHONE MODEL - IF YOU HAVE I9070 THEN I9070, IF YOU HAVE I9070P THEN I9070P FIRMWARE - OTHERWISE YOU WILL HARDBRICK YOUR PHONE.
When you downloaded it unpack it if it is zipped, if it is in tar.md5 then you can use it without unpacking.
Guide for using Odin (with Odin link) is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985398 zip of it is password protected, you do have password on that page.
After that do factory reset if you get in a bootloop.
For CWM, download CoCore with CWM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140597
Unzip it, transfer kernel.bin.md5 to phone, install Universal kernel flasher and some root explorer like ES file explorer. Install kernel.bin.md5 from Universal kernel flasher reboot, and you have CWM on JB.
That is if you want JB and CWM on it. For GB - we do not have permanent CWM, only TWRP.

Well, Senior. Perhaps this is also a valuable lesson for me. Thank you for the explanation of the long-width. I'll mark this post as a precaution for the "the First Aid" in the future. Thanks in advance. :good:
