[Solved]
All you have to do is revert to an older version of clockworkmod, I used version 6.0.12 I believe.
the file name is: CWM6012-CM9-recovery so it might be that. Yep that's it, now i can finally rest

The title says it all.
I tried to install a custom rom on my Galaxy s plus and I figured i'd need cwm, so I got the latest, installed it through the default recovery.
And now it keeps booting into the recovery and I can't get the stock back.
So I still tried to install a custom rom, though it keeps booting into cwm.
Can anyone give me a hand with this? I will need my phone today, so I would really appreciate any help I can get.
I own a One X, though it is at the repairs and now I messed up my only usable phone

Hi all
I'm having heaps of problems with my LG O2X. I'm not gonna write them all down now, but i wanted to get rid of them, so I figured I'd root and flash it again, and throw on a new 4.1.x rom. It was rooted earlier on, but I unrooted it 6 months ago, to try LG's official ICS rom for a while. As it turned out to be horrible, this is where I'm at now.
• It's currently running official LG O2X ICS rom
• I've rooted it (tried both Super one click and some other solution).
• When I go to Rom Manager (Premium v.5.0.2.7), grant superuser rights, and press "Flash Clockworkmod recovery", I select LG-P990 (only option). Then it says "LG-P990 does not have an officially supported ClockworkMod Recovery yet, Have you installed a ClockworkMod based recovery manually?"
- If I press "Yes" and select ClockworkMod 3.x+, it says "ROM Manager has been set up to use your existing recovery installation.", when I then reboot into recovery, it gives an error logo (android laying down with open stumach-hatch and a red error triangle). The only thing I can do to make it boot again, is reseating the battery.
- If I press "No", it says "Sorry! Until ClockworkMod recovery is available, ROM Manager will not work with LG-P990!"
What am I going to do now? I've tried two times now. I'll be needing this phone working tomorrow, so this is really not good.
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Frederik

Thanks for replying.
I have already tried that tool, but I really did not understand anything. The guide seems half to me.
If you could answer these questions for me about the AIO tool, it'd be great.
What do I connect the phone with? (charge only, mass storage, media sync, USB tethering or LG software)
What do I press in the AIO tool to do the flash recovery which I'd otherwise do in ROM Manager?
How do I flash a rom? Do I use AIO tool or just boot to recovery on the phone as usual?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards, Frederik.
fyi - i never used it so far (didn't need it yet), but people here talk only the best about it...
several people got problems with their LG p990 in the past few weeks and all of them managed to revive their phones with this tool... even the total android newbies...
i'm sure the app is as noob friendly as possible and the description and guidances from the app is all you must follow...
to use AIO tool, connect your phone with USB debugging on, I think with mass storage. If windows installs adb drivers automatically then you can step forward, if not then press "I" in AIO tool.
Then select change partition to new bootloader (ONLY if you are not on it already), but be aware as it deletes everything off your device.
Finally, go to change recovery image and select the one, it doesn't matter which one imo. there you go, you 'll have a working recovery. put a rom to external storage (as internal gets deleted) and flash it. I think this is how I did it. you can read more information in the first post of AIO tool. I hope I could help.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda premium
The phone has to be connected to s/w-download mode when using the AIO tool.
This means: 1)Turn off your phone, 2) remove the battery, 3) hold the volume down button while you connect the phone to the USB cable of the PC
Done.
Then choose the options from the AIO menu.
Do I need to mention that you have to install the required drivers before you do that?
I think the explanations are quite clear in the description of the AIO-Tool.
If you dont like to read the explanation completely and/or dont want to make the effort to read realted threads, I recommend to not do it.
For me, the AIO is magic and worked fine. 5 stars.
Kind regards
Dirk
Thanks all.
I managed to figure it out, and the methods you guys explained is the way to do it.
I found a 4.2.2 rom for it, which I'm running now, and seems to be fairly good.

I also did it on the method above. But every time I try to install a rom I get error: status 7.
How did you install your rom?
(I'm on the new bootloader, stock ics, rooted and I've cwm recovery 6)

Hello, I've got a Galaxy S, and it works great apart from the usb port. My pc (and others too) isn't able to recognise it. I mean, it detects the phone connected but I can't go further... Already tried with many versions of samsung drivers, kies too, windows 8, 7, xp... It seems that usb port is fault.
So the question is, since there's the 3a recovery on it, is there any way to root, and install CWM on it, without using a pc?
Or am I stuck on 2.3.3?
I've already tried zroot and similars... They just don't work.
Sorry for my English, and thanks to everyone
Have you tried using the USB drivers in this forum?

Thanks for your replies... Yes I've already tried driver, three different versions, with usb debug enabled and disabled... But the result is the same. :/
edit:
When I connect the phone to my pc, I can hear a sound but there're no notification about usb connection.
It's probably hardware-related...
So I was wondering if there's a way to do everything on the phone, without a pc

Yes, I tried exactly that. I guess it hasn't worked because of the 3e recovery, which doesn't allow to flash unsigned zips...

Download an update of GB from www.sammobile.com/firmwares, I think it may be signed by manufacturer, and install update zip from recovery. Maybe it solve 3e hell.

I think you have to find how to "downgrade 3e recovery to 2e" without usb (odin or haid..)
take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
or search on google "downgrade 3e recovery to 2e"
After some days of research, I'm about to give this up...
The last option was downgrading to 2e recovery. No usb working, no root, 3e recovery doesn't let me flash anything.
I haven't found any official/certified/signed firmware released by Samsung which works on 3e recovery, and OTA update doesn't find anything.
Firmwares from sammobile aren't signed, I've tried, they don't work.
Apparently there is no solution apart from getting the usb port fixed, if I want to mod the phone.
Anyway, thank you all!
Unbelievable, but finally I've solved everything
I've just spent an hour scratching the microusb port on the phone, again and again, and now I'm running cwm and rooted 2.3.6
Again, thank you all
Sometimes it is really unbelievable
Small reason and great effect :good:
But it`s perfect when it not works ,fine !!!
So now you can go through to 4.2.2
I'm a newb, so don't jump at me if the solution is simple.
I tried rooting my Mini(GT-S5570)using different threads around here, and none worked. I have tried booting into recovery mode and installed 5 different root packages, none worked. Superoneclick is unavailable(none of the download links worked, also tried googling for it, nothing). I'd like a tutorial that can work, since i'll add some infos below why it might not work.
I am running an android version made for vodafone germany, with 4 system apps that are vodafone only and can't be deleted
maybe the version number can help :
PDA: S5570BUKT2
Phone: S5570XWKT8
CSC: S5570VCRKT2
Edit: I want to go with the "flash cwm with odin" then flash rom, but Odin doesn't pick up the phone in download mode, only in upload mode(when I boot with volume up+home+power button). I installed Kies for drivers, so I don't see how I could've gone wrong
Same issue with my friend anyone can resolved this kind of problem?

If you have a 2.3.6 Android, then the attached files will root (pop) and unroot your phone to your will.
"Copy the pop_2.3.6.zip file to the root of your SD Card. Make sure you do not extract the contents of the zip file. Just copy the zip file to your SD Card.
Boot your phone into recovery. To do this, turn off your phone and press the OK button and Power button. You can release the buttons when you see the Samsung Logo to enter the recovery mode.
From the recovery menu, select “Apply update from SD Card” and choose the zip file you downloaded in step 1.
Flash the zip and then choose “Reboot system now” option.
After your phone reboots, check if you have the superuser Application installed"

"After flashing the zip, make sure you connect to internet and then it'll ask you to update superuser app. Do so and then from within superuser app, update su binaries. Then, it should work without any issues"
Some more info:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su
I remember it was a bit tricky, still it seems your phone IS rooted (if you installed pop_2.3.6.zip from recovery). Updating supersu from market means the binary portion is not up-to-date, that's why IMO you have to update binaries. So click on the supersu icon, and find the "update binaries" option (needs internet connection).
If it fails, have a look at
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su.fixer
Don't remember if I needed it or not with the pop_2.3.6.zip.
BTW, if your Mini is out of warranty period, why don't you put something bloatware-free on it? (with Odin)
I can highly recommend TassNewExperience v.10.1 final2,
or newer CM 7.2 clean of 18.05.2014.
Both shall (most probably) fix your problem with rooting, both are fast, stable, battery-friendly.

Is your phone sim-locked for Vodafone network? If yes, go to Vodafone to remove sim-lock prior to anything.
Here is a decent ROM to start with (I've been using it for half a year):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648213
and there are working links in the second post, that I followed myself, explaining howto.
Here is a more detailed guide for flashing CWM recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342190
IMHO you should put unbranded, stock Gingerbread ROM in your Mini before trying to flash CWM recovery.
Remember to make a backup of your data, my recommendation:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
and perhaps a "dump" backup of the partition holding IMEI of your MIni (you have to look for details - keywords efs and/or stl5).

I used Odin in WinXP, have no experience with Win8 - only heard most of the older stuff didn't work in Win8. So you might be pioneering Odin in Win8
But there is another way of rooting Android devices, introduced last year, with a universal chinese soft. As the soft is new, could work in Win8 (it only roots the devices). Don't remember the name of it, there was a lot of info on the Net in the second half of last year. It worked for some no-name tablets of my friends.

Weird. Perhaps (as above) it is in fact rooted. Try to unroot with unroot zip, and give a chance vroot again?
Unless there are some more residuals of previous attempts of rooting, and they interfere? Back to factory settings after unroot.
Or check which superuser u have on your Mini, and put binaries as zip from recovery? as in the first comment here:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
And last but not least, it shouldn't be too difficult to put some old WinXP on an old disk/partition just to use Odin. And taking into account your first post "I tried rooting my Mini(GT-S5570)using different threads around here, and none worked", perhaps your Mini is so messed up that Odin is your only option?
Anyway, it's a mystery, and would really appreciate if you keep us informed of the progress.

Help with root?
Nothing changed. You still have to unlock the bootloader, flash CWM from here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3568, then flash SuperSU in recovery if you want to stay on stock or flash CROMi-X 7.0.3, CM11 or the AOKP rom from the development section.

The Asus unlocker does work on the latest version 4.4.4 or what ever it is (i don't remember) the website just wasn't updated.

Hmmm, that's good to know. Just to be sure, there's someone who's reportedly managed to do this? I've tried 20+ times without success.
edit. Let me rephrase, +100 times is more correct.
edit2. I tried for the 112th time, and this time IT WORKED! Thanks for the info. I don't know if it had any effect or if this was purely a hazard, but this time I had the dock on...
The dock would have been purely luck as it doesn't always come with one stock (depends on which country you buy it) and you don't require the dock for the unlock.
Just glad that it eventually worked for you.
bit worried
i had same problem with unlocking bootloader, but asus helped. they said, that because of all my repairs, something changed in their database and their unlocking app cant read this devcice properly. so they decided to unlock my tablet remote, from their development center, and i'll be free to root in a few days.
But i'm worried because of my 4.4 (11.4.1.30.)
is there anyone who rooted it with 11.4.1.30?
Wow! Remote unlocking? That's a first! Can't wait to see if they actually do it (and I wonder how!).
Once unlocked you can flash CWM and then SuperSU in CWM if root is all you want.
Will this work on 4.4.2 on the TF701? Can someone on 4.4.2 (11.4.1.30) try this?

The recovery . img goes on your PC, not your tablet. Your PC needs to find it to flash it to the tablet
To be specific, the img needs to be in the same folder as your fastboot.exe.
On your PC.
If that doesn't work you may not have the fastboot drivers installed.
What does <fastboot devices> return?
Post screenshots of your cmd window
You can also use flash tool on your PC to make things easier

Cannot boot twrp recovery
Ok,
First post and first attempt at rooting. Hope I don't screw it up... Too much.
I am trying to root my tf701 with zombi-pop, but can't get twrp to run.
Tried it with the recovery in the internal storage or in the same folder as fastboot.exe on my pc.
The tablet is unlocked and on latest firmware 11.4.1.30 ww sku.
When i get to the "fastboot boot 701_twrp_2870.img" stage on my pc I lose contact with the tablet. the cmd just hangs on "waiting for device".
I try typing "fastboot devices" and nothing shows up.
I have attempted numerous times, always with the same result.
Any help would be appreciated
Update - Fastboot driver wasn't recognised
I found a universal driver that fixed it.
I can't post the link as I'm a noob and thus not allowed, but I found it pretty easily once I started looking for universal adb drivers.
Hey, all. I've found a problem with my tf701 running CM 12.1. I have been using Webroot Backup & Sync to sync files on my external sd card (Samsung 64gb class 10 Micro SD). Since rooting the device I am unable to get webroot to locate my external storage.
Any suggestions would be great.
Hi Guys!
I've been installing a new ROM for my TF701T using the cromi-x ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf701/development/rom-t2839030/page78)
everything is looking peachy keen except I have lost root access. Do I need to rerun the root installation instructions steps or is it something else?

How did you loose root??? It's build into the rom! How do you know that you lost root?
Open the SuperSU app and update the binary. What does it say?
