explaing everything you have done so far, step by step do not leave out one single detail

I pointed you to the Odin thread because you can just use Odin to load the GB ROM (update)
 
I am new to the Android world. But Coming from blackberry I had spent alot of time looking into Android and knew when I got a droid phone, I would want it rooted with customs.

I have been following several threads and I wanted to thank you for giving such clear instructions.

I ran into a problem when I started but after reading the instructions again it was delt with.

Thank you for making this stress free.
 
Thanks for all the developers who did such wonderful job here.

I am trying to flash CWM to my prevail and I downloaded the zip file in the first post

The first file that need to be selected is supposed to be "HROARK_SPHM820.ops" but I see the following file "HROARK_SPHM820..ops" with two ..

Should I rename it or is that the correct file? Slightly confused. Thank you

wow, I have never noticed that, I intended putting only one .

it is not hurting anything with 2, so I will just leave it for now

you dont have to rename it

thank you for pointing this out for me
 
I don't understand where to get/ or if I need to get or install Odin. I know it must be explained on here but I've been trying to find it for an hour.

Is Odin a program I need to get from somewhere else?

Thanks

ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.6 for Samsung Prevail SPH-M820 by Hroark

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.

If you have problems installing this, try reading the instructions again , and if you need help describe what you have done so far and which step you are getting stuck on.

If you DO NOT already have one of my older versions of ClockWorkMod port on your Prevail you will need to install it with Odin. If you already have a previous version of my ClockWorkMod port on your Prevail use CWM update

Install CWM with Odin
1. Download and unzip HROARK_CWMv5026_SPH-M820.zip
2. 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, you should see a yellow box with a com number
7. Select HROARK_SPHM820.ops in the OPS box
8. Put a check in One Package
9. Select the HROARK_CWMv5_SPH-M820_Odin_1P.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
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

Im kinda having problems when trying to get CWM on my prevail.
The problem is that when I finish doing all the Odin stuff I reboot into recovery to see if it was installed but it gives me the same android stock recovery(I have checked to see if I missed any step but I cant find any step that I have missed). And I have already re tried these steps to get CWM but still no luck. I am currently on GB. And I had no problems getting CWM when I was on FROYO.
