CMW 3.0.0.6 Recovery Image for Odin?!

My phone is semi-bricked and the only way I can fix it is if I can Odin CMW with it, cause I can access download mode. can anyone please help me?

Odin to stock EC05 and proceed from there.

If you don't know how to odin, click on the link in my signature and I made a video showing you how to use it

The issue is I don't have a backup! :/

If you can ONLY access download mode, the only thing you can do is Odin.

It's not possible to ODIN a new recovery? Cause something went wrong installing CWM 3.0.2.5 (using ACS)

Zane, trust the others. Heck I soft bricked my phone installing SRF. I couldn't get anything other than download mode.
Odin ec05 and start fresh.

You can try removing the datafs.rfs from the tar and using a pit file... that might save your data... no garuntees it will work

If you are having problems with Odin, there are dozens of threads on that. First off is get a better cable. Then follow the directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813

FWIW I've had problems with two phones and two different cables rooting EL30 with Odin and CWM5.
Here's what finally worked for me:
Odin the ACS recovery or CWM3 tar.md5 files. Most of the time when it reboots automatically, it will reboot into the recovery (with cable still attached). If it doesn't reboot into recovery, pull the cable and battery and use Odin again to reflash ACS or CWM3 until it does reboot into recovery.
Use the recovery to flash a CWM5 zip.
I can get Odin to install a CWM5 tar but it never "sticks". It always stays with the stock recovery. The only way I can get CWM5 to stick is to flash a CWM5 zip.

That's cuz on gingerbread you need to flash another kernel prior to flashing the recovery and don't have auto reboot checked after flashing the recovery just go straight into it

Thanks. I seem to recall that when I didn't have auto reboot checked it just sat there in download mode, but maybe my memory is playing tricks on me. As I get older my memory isn't what it used to be. Also, as I get older, my memory isn't what it used to be.

Basic Odin questions

Hi,
I have been rooting for a while with my evo 4g which is basically just recoveries & zip files.
Currently I have updated to Calk's ICS Beta 3 rom with modem FC05. I have read some stuff here & there that talk about having issues going from a ICS rom back to a GB nandroid.
I have installed Kies opened Odin, looked at the Wiki here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337
I just dont quite get in terms of flashing zips through odin. I keep reading people say to odin back to stock & then flash from there.
How do I do that? I looked at QB777's video on youtube, but it seems like PIT files arent used much at this point.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks,
Rich

Ok, basically when you Odin back to stock, it involves flashing a .tar ROM from the pda slot in desktop Odin and not zip file like you would in CWM. Once you restore back to stock, you can find a .tar recovery, I personally use rogue which will allow you to have cwm-based recovery for flashing zips. All the links should be in development. Let me know if you still need help
Edit-what Odin does is it allows you to flash Roms, kernels, moderns, etc even if you don't have a custom recovery, provided that they are in the correct format, like .tar extension

so when i flash a tar, I go into download mode, open odin, point it to a stock rooted tar file that has CWR & I am back to stock ready to flash to something else?
Can you help me find those files? A stock rooted, CWR should do the trick.

Ok, so you go into a download mode on your phone, open Odin, plug in your USB cord, ODIN should recognize your phone provided you installed the right drivers. You're good if you get the yellow box that says 0 com, something something. The only box that should be checked is Auto Reboot in Odin.
The easiest way that I've been going back and forth between GB and ICS is to install the rooted EL29 .tar version here
http://little-melon.com/sfhub/SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED-sfx.exe
You would need to extract the file until you get a folder with tar.md5 name. Example of the file I provided would be SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097_ROOTED_PDA.tar.md5 once you unzip it. This is the file you would put on the PDA slot of your desktop Odin.
Once you do this, Odin will start flashing and be done in like 1-2 minutes and auto reboot. Do not do anything to shut down, unplug, or mess with the device while Odin is flashing or you may end up bricking it. Once your phone reboots you will be rooted and stock based with EL 29 modem and kernel, which is the latest official Sprint OTA. If you want to get a recovery after this,you would need to go back into Odin and flash a kernel that has a recovery baked in. Like I said I use Rogue and the link would be here for Rogue Stock EL29-
http://goo-inside.me/kernels/TeamRo.../rogue_ET-recoveryonly-1.1.4-rc0-odin.tar.md5
Flashing this in Odin you will get CWM-based recovery and can start backing up, flashing different ROMS.
Hope this helps.

This is very helpful. I am stuck at the SGS2 boot screen after flashing MIJJs Goodness 1.8, can't boot in to recovery, only download mode. How do I fix this?

Flash a recovery in download mode that I linked. It's rogue recovery
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Just to confirm, using the files you had here, I open odin in download mode, choose PDA (check the check box) point it to the tar.md5 file, hit start & wait a few minutes until it auto reboots?
How do I flash the recovery? Is it also the PDA?
I have been flashing modems in CWR, not odin & I just want to make sure that recovery or rom itself, just PDA & nothing else checked (but PDA)?

Reverting back to GB ROM
I recently switched back from ICS to GB and did not have any problems with the change back. I simply went into my SD card manually took everything off except my chaulkins format all and my wifi tether hack. I then went into recovery mode and did a wipe all. Then went to zip files, ran the format all, then did an install of the new ROM and it works great!

[q] ics recovery

Im curently running stock fe16 rooted and i downloaded fe16 clockwordmod recovery plus. when i put the zimage into e4gtauto,000root and i ran it i still dont have clockword mod recovery what did i do wrong?

You will have a unsecure stock recovery. It looks stock, its sfhubs repack right?

yeah i think its sfhubs so it looks stock? and i could flash stuff right just not modems and roms

Right, no roms or modems unless u want a paper weight lol

whenevr i try flashing something it just says mount sdcard no such file or directoey...

Not sure what your're doing. If you are on sfhub's stock rooted you can then add his 'unlocked' or 'unlocked plus' kernel. Via mobile Odin or regular Odin. See his second post if you haven't already. They do NOT contain CWM but do let you flash unsigned zip files.
Here is the ACS kernel with CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660138 download the zip to your SD card, boot to stock 'unlocked' recovery (power down, volume up+Power button till first samsung screen and let go) and choose to update file from SD card (or something like that) flash it there. Be careful if you are not sure what you are doing and read some more or you will surely brick your phone.

FE16_repack_ACS.tar Flash with ODIN.
its not letting me download it is the link bad? and i think im just going to go back to el29 and restart

nevermind i got it thanks alot.

You don't have to go back unless you really want to.
I just tried the zip and tar download for ACS recovery and they both worked. (remember that is a link to a site you have to download from there; can't 'save the link..')
IF you are on sfhub's stock rooted FE16 just add the unlocked kernel following post 2.
Then download the zip file for ACS recovery and flash that in the 'unlocked recovery'.
You sound like you're getting frustrated and not sure what to do. If that's the case take your time and do some more reading.

The link can be very slow to start, may take several minutes. Let it sit maybe.
Edit: Oops, too slow. (Me, not the download)

do i flash the unlocked kernal in e4gt tool? or odin where do i put the zimage for odin?

im just ganna run the tfe16 how do i flash the cwm kernal for that one ?

you don't use the e4gt tool
You use Odin as described in the second post from sfhub's stock rooted fe16. place the .tar into the pda slot

there is no tar when i extract it theres just a zimage?

Not sure which one you are talking about.
The unlocked kernel tar from sfhub? Here there nothing to 'extract' the file is a .tar file USED by Odin. place the tar in the pda slot as it says in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26205440&postcount=2
If you're talking about the tar file for the ACS recovery use that in mobiel Odin and place it in the kernel slot, scroll down and select flash firmware. Bam done.

Leader he's unzipping the tar.
King, please leave all tar and zip files intact.
Here is how it works:
Tar files - use Odin
Zip files - use CWM recovery
When you use odin from the pc, these are the slots to use depending on the file you are flashing:
•PDA Button: This is for flashing kernels and ROMs (in .tar format)
•PHONE Button: This is for the phone's RADIO/MODEM ONLY!!!!!!

ok i know the "kernal" is a tar file i need clockword mod not the kernal

i know i dont have CWM recovery thats what im trying to get im just on stock fe16 right know!

kingofretros said:

Click to collapse
the CWM is 'baked into' the Kernel. So you have to add that kernel to your stock rooted setup after you do that.
Simple use sfhubs stock rooted fe16
Follow the steps in post to to add unlocked recovery
boot to 'stock unlocked' recovery
update from zip file
select the ACS kernel and apply it.
then you will have stock rooted fe16 with ACS CWM

where are the steps? and i already flashed the kernal again

Either get mobile Odin and the el26 kernel.tar and flash it via phone. Or get the one click el29 flash the el26 kernel threw PC Odin and flash the rom threw cwm5 included in the el26 kernel. Look up qbking27 how to videos and follow them for the best results.

Okay so I download and run the ODIN-OC Auto Root to EL29 using --> 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101&highlight=el29'
Then once I have done that launch the 'ODIN3_v1.85' utility and load the file that was mentioned on the RE-CALKED page --> 'Odin to EL26 stock repack with CWM found here'
Then just use CWM to flash via SDCard?
OR do I install that file using CWM then install the format all and ROM?

You should be able to do it with el29 as long as you have cwm5 recovery. Odin el26 kernel is the preferred method by most devs. do to a lot of issues that have been worked out in the previous months. As long as you have cwm5 on a gb based rom or gb stock with root you should be fine. But I recommend that you watch some videos by qbking27 and read the op in every rom thread that you have interest in. Devs prefer certain styles of install so I'd go by that. Most of the time qbking has a video install guide in the op of the rom. Like you want calks revamped. Look up calks 1.6 and watch that video guide.
