Udate downloaded - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

The new update downloaded to my phone automatically then took me to the clockworkmod recovery screen and did not do the udate. Now I have the really anoying software update remider coming up every hour. It wont even let me postpone anymore.
Through root manager I can find the unziped FOTA folder. Can I zip that folder and instal the zip folder through recovery?
I searched around for a while but could not find a thread that answered the question?
Thanks!

Same here. When i try to update i got stuck on clockwork mode.
What next ?? Please help

You could download one of the stock Roms from xda and flash it in cwm

Ended loading one of the roms to get the notification to go away. However, it does not update the baseband. I tried to load the FOTA.zip and it kept aborting. So no go with the original question.
Need to figure out how to get the clockworkmod recovery off so I can load the actual update with updated baseband.

I was able to get mine to update through Kies with clockwork mod installed in the shipping version of the ROM... you might try that.

Use Odin to flash the baseband. There is a thread on RootzWiki that has a link as well as a "how to."

[Q] Clockworkmod V2.6.0.1 is gone!

Does anyone know if there was a change made to ROM Manager/Clockworkmod Recovery yesterday?? I had V2.6.0.1 installed and yesterday afternoon I got a notice that Clockworkmod Recovery had been upgrade and to download the new release. It was 3.0.0.5 (RomManager Version 3.0.0.7) so I updated my recovery.
This morning I tried to install a ROM that I have installed dozens of times before using v2.6.0.1 but this time it wouldn't run because of the scripting issues within V3. I tried to find & reload V2.6.0.1 but RomManager does not list it as an alternate install at the bottom of RomManager's setting page.
Anyone else receive the update notice?
I got the update message yesterday too! I chose not to update because I knew about the issues you talked about. You can flash RA recovery, flash ROM, then go back if you need to. Or I can get you the zip if clockwork that does both versions of scripting..... Wait can't do that from the xda app....okay ill post it up when I get to my work computer...unless someone else throws it up before I do.

Guess I got beat to it but here is the zip file anyways.
CM still has an option to go to 2.5.0.7
I did not know this Sh%^t and could not restore any nands and was forced to unroot and start over. Seemed easier (for me) than pushing a recovery. I was not able to boot into anything to make the change... one would think that clockwork would play nice with older clockworks

How do I install the .zip file? Installing via recovery is only temporary. Next reboot it's back to 3.0.0.5

I only use it as a temp. I think to actually install you have to use a .img file....???? Not sure on that one. Someone has the answer.

gzibell, I know this is an old thread, and I don't even have an Evo (I have a lowly Sprint Hero), I was just looking for an earlier version of clockwork than the 3.0.0.5 I'm currently using and I ran across this thread, and your post made me aware that I could flash 2.5.0.7 strictly as a temp, without losing the embedded 3.0.0.5 that I'm currently using...what an awesome idea!
So I tried it, and it works great!
Just want to say thanks for that post, friend!

[Q] MidNIGHT ROM 4.2 zip will not flash

Hello, I downloaded the 4.2 on my phone while I was at work last night. when I came home I moved the 4.2 to the SDCard root, CW3 reboot to recovery, went to the 4.2 and began to flash, heres what I got:
"script aborted (no error message)E:Error in /sdcard/midNIGHT_ROMv4.2_BYOR_EDITION_.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
Any suggestions?? Again I did remove my SDcard, insert it into the computer, and moved the 4.2 to the root of the SD card, reinstalled into the phone and boot into recovery with CW3.

You guys are in the wrong section. You should be posting in this thread/ I only saw this cause someone pointed this out to me on twitter.
To answer your question though v4.2 in no just an update. It's a completely rebuilt rom using a different base. I need more information in order to try to help. So please give me the following:
Version of CW recovery?
How you tried to flash?
Are you currently Stock?
and please post those on the correct thread so you get some attention.
I have an older Version of MidNIGHT ROM 3.x... when I went back to continue to use my phone, I have Several FC's and most of my phone was inoperable, I went to CW3 and recovered, now my phone sits at the SAMSUNG logo....

I sent u the tweet because now my phone is bricked and idk what to do.
I am using CW 3.0.5
the phone was booted, I went to Clockwork mod and rebooted to recovery
I am running an older version of midNIGHT ROM v.3.x I'm sorry IDK which exact ROM I have
By the way I did remove the old midnight rom from SD along with the Extras folder
oh and the reason I did not post on that thread is because I am New and have less than 10 posts, I am not allowed to post to a Developers Thread.
I believe version 3.xxx were dk28 based and when you tried to flash 4.2 which is eb13 based it crashed because it had the wrong kernel. So the fix to both would be to odin to stock eb13. After that then just follow his instructions and you should be good to go.

I thought about that when he wrote it was an all new base, I will have to return to stock anyway to un-brick, so I just need to odin to the EB13??? I will try this soon and update my progress, right now I have misplaced my Micro USB, (fail) but I will have to borrow one after I get all my downloads done.
ok, so far I have sucessfully odin'ed to my bone stock 2.1, now I have to do everything else.

Install CWM on new AT&T S3

Why does this never work the way its supposed to for me??
Anyway, so I just got my S3 and I hate the stock ROM already so I want to go to CM (9 maybe, 10 if it works well). I'm right now just trying to get Clockwork recovery installed and working and seem to be failing miserably. At first it seemed to be going ok, I downloaded Odin 3.04 and a recovery TAR that was on the Android Authority guide for the AT&T S3. I ran the install no problems, and booted into recovery without issue. I then tried installing CM10 and it gave and Status 7 assert failure.
After a lot of digging I finally found some people saying that it was because of an incorrect version of CWM, so I dug around till I found a 6.0.1.0 tar that says its for my phone. I install that and now I can't get into recovery at all. It will still boot into the stock rom but that's it. I saw some suggestions saying that unchecking auto reboot, and f. reset time would fix this so I did that and still nothing. I can't get into recovery at all. Is there a definitive (as in this still works) guide out there somewhere??

Ok so I found some CWM tars that they they're v.6+ that I can get installed (at least I assume so since Odin says it worked) but when I get in there the version listed at the top is 5.5.0.4, should this number not match? I haven't even gotten around to trying to get it to install CM10 yet.

By Rom Manager you are talking about the App you use from within the OS? So would I need root for this?

How did you update to 6.0.1.4 when 6.0.1.2 is the latest version? And no, you don't need to re root. You don't need root to flash firmware.

Looking on the forums someone posted a link to download an updated 6.0.1.4 so I tried that since 6.0.1.2 wasnt working. There's gotta be something simple to fix that I dont know about, ive flashed and rooted my htc sensation and mytouch4g easy and never had installation failure when flashing. Can someone walk me through what exactly I need to be fully rooted and flash a rom!?
How could cwm not be working if its updated to latest version? I dont think im downloading the wrong rom and its not a bad link. Even tried dragging it onto my internal sd wirh debugging off. Btw I have the 32 gb s3 with does not have an external sd.
The way I fix that was I rerootes my phone into latest clockwork recovery. I didn't remove the root I just rerootee it. Look for cwr 6 I think.

From watching the video given for the toolkit, when in odin and have to open up pda then go to the toolkit files and then root all my files are in winRAR type and his are in tar archive type. Does that matter at all? And also when clicking on the pda then root you chose the file /boot-insecure-tmo-t99uvalem-cwm but when in odin and clicking this file on the little winrar icon to the left of the file name its the only one with a little like key lock, doesnt know if thats an issue or anything just something i noticed because when accessing the toolkit files on my c drive and going to the root folder, the key icon is no longer there.. Any ideas??
Reading about people flashing a kernal in recovery then flashing the rom and working but when you flash a rom isnt it flashing the kernal it comes with also? Or is this the problem
Well, I re ran the toolkit, re did the root and odin process same as i did the first time, downloaded rom straight from my phone flashed again still getting status 7 error/ installation aborted -______- ugh...

Look at my signature for the proper CWM. I don't know where you saw 6.0.1.4 for our device, but the main thread and the developers website show no sign of it. And download CM10 from get.cm, d2tmo. If you that doesn't work, you don't have a SGH-T999.
I can't believe I didn't see this before....what is the exact file name of the rom you are flashing?
I looked and did not see our phone listed in the op. Looks like the international one is there (codename m0?). But no d2tmo, d2att, etc.
Unless I just missed it there, you do not want to even try flashing that anymore! If I'm right you just got very lucky dude!

Glad you got it sorted out.
Just for the future though, never flash anything not built for the TMobile SGH-T999 (codename d2tmo). If you do flash an international GS3 rom it will brick your device. I think this woulda happened had the miui rom from the link in op actually flashed.

[Q] Camera stopped working after rooting..help?

First of all, I'm a bit new to the whole rooting/custom ROM thing. I rooted my Galaxy s3 i747m using odin and have cwm recovery installed. I flashed a custom stock jelly bean ROM with gapps. Everything works fine except the camera crashes upon startup even using third party camera apps, and there is no default music player installed. The music player is no big deal but I really need the camera to work. I have been searching around for camera apk's and i tried installing one and moving it to samsung/app using root explorer and changing the permissions as instructed. It still doesn't work and I am currently using a mac so it's hard to work with.
Should I try to go back to stock Touchwiz or does anyone have any suggestions on what to do to fix the camera problem? The camera doesnt even show when I search under all applications but it is present in the app folder and as a shortcut.

boot into recovery and see what version it says at the top. if it's not at least 6.0.2.3 or higher, your going to get a status 7 error.
here is the link to cwm 6.0.2.3: http://d-h.st/8qP
place the zip on your sd card and flash this in recovery. reboot recovery and see if its updated. if so, flash the rom/gapps
You can also download rom manager and update your cwm recovery from there.
