Root ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7 (file system/recovery utility) update 01/12/12 FIXED

chinniwhites said:
I rooted my phone like two weeks after it was released. When i hold the Up arrow and power button i boot up into what looks like a different type of recovery utility.

Android system recovery (3e)

Samsung Recovery Utils
-for BML-

Then i have four options
reboot
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition


I have a feeling a have a different bootload, i have tryied to install CWM with Odin but Odin says reset but never resets phone. I waited til it said pass, rebooted holding up and power, back to same (NOT CWM) recovery tool as before.

Any tips on getting CWM installed on my phone?

Thanks!

i get a lot of

big partition size!

I killed the process after 10minutes, does it take longer than that?

what's up man???

just follow hroark's instructions from the first post in this thread and you'll be ok... pay attention the step # 11 very important!!!

Install CWM with Odin
1. Download and unzip CWM5027-SPH-M8200-FOR-ODIN-FIXED2A.zip
2. Download stick.zip and copy stick.zip to SD Card
3. Install the Samsung USB drivers (if you don't already have them)
4. From a powered off phone put phone into Download Mode by holding Volume Down, Camera Button, and Power button until the Yellow Downloading message appears
5. Plug phone into USB port
6. Open Odin (on your computer), you should see a yellow box with a com number
7. Select SPHM820.ops in the OPS box
8. Put a check in One Package
9. Select the CWM5027-SPH-M8200-FOR-ODIN-FIXED2A.TAR file in the One Package box
10. Click Start
11. When Odin says reset and the phone reboots Hold Vol UP, and Power button until you are in CWM DO THIS QUICKLY BEFORE PHONE BOOTS, IF PHONE BOOTS UP ALL THE WAY START BACK AT STEP 4. you do not have to wait for Odin to say pass, that does not work
12. In CWM go into install zip from sdcard (use volume buttons to scroll between options and home button to select)
13. select choose zip from sdcard
14. select stick.zip
15. select Yes - Install stick.zip
16. After it is done installing Press back button
17. Select Reboot System Now

I followed it exactly but it never reset my phone automatically. I will try again and reboot manually once it says reset!

you might want to just flash one of the rooted roms that have CWM built in. im using FA19 Gingerbread Rooted Image with CWM5 by Koumajutsu running phonemans drebeats rom with no problems at all.

Is Odin seeing the phone? (does it give a com number)

If not-
Have you installed the drivers?

Is the phone in "downloading..." mode?

If yes to above, reinstall the drivers.
-reboot computer
-use different cable
-use different usb port on pc
-use different computer
 
I have used the PREVAIL_M820_FA19_Rooted_CWM , it worked great. but i cannot get CWM to do a restore. it seems to make backups ok but wont restore them, always gets an error when it gets to SYSTEM part, a dev/block/ thing. am I correct in assuming that's because the stock FA19 image would need an extension 4 kernel for CWM 5.0.2.7 to work? is it possible to go back to CWM 5.0.2.6 by doing an odin or flash a copy of CWM 5.0.2.6 over 5.0.2.7 so I wouldn't have to go with a different kernel, or would I have to flash an ext4 kernel? i would like to be able to do backups and the ability to restore those backups. If it is easier to just use a different kernel, which one would someone suggest for the Fa19 (stock, rooted,CWM) setup? I actually would prefer to go without an ext4 kernel. I am not even sure if I am at the correct thread for this?

-found solution to my prob--
I found that when I went back to CWM v5.0.2.6, and removed boot and recovery images from the cwm backups, and the corresponding md5sum lines from the nandroid.md5 file in each, now ALL of my backups will restore without a glitch. now my prevail has FA19 stock rooted with CWMv5.0.2.6 that does backups and restores them as well. it was probly me doing something wrong to begin with, but am happy now.
Thanks to hroark13 and all the devs involved again for all the work involved in making a good phone experience a whole lot better.

I find it works much better if you switch step 5 with the first part of step 6.
5. Open Odin (on your computer)
6. Plug phone into USB port, you should see a yellow box with a com number

???? ROM manager is an APP. Odin does not install it. Using ROM manager on this phone will render it unusable (prevail isn't supported)
Odin is used to install cwm... And you access it by holding Vol up + power from a powered off phone

I have found this in the first post of this thread, ----

""Only Download ClockWorkMod from the links provided in my post, if you download ClockWorkMod from some other source and brick your phone, you will need to go to the place that provided those files for help.

I would also like to mention that you should not use Rom Manager on the Prevail to try and and flash CWM or kernels, Rom Manager is an excellent program. but our phone is not supported for those functions yet."" ---

I hope that helps
 
Definitely appreciate the update fix. Running kk 2.4 was attempting to restore. Booted up couldn't do anything constant force closes almost didn't get out of that one.
Internal memory did not enjoy almost 400 MB of apps...

the time is set on the phone by getting it from the cell phone network

since the radio is non functioning while in CWM, it is not pulling the time from the network

sorry, I don't know how to fix that, at this moment
