[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod v6.0.4.5

Hello all.
Here's CWM recovery, built from the latest version included in the ICS sources. It has support for both internal and external sd card, with the internal being the default. As such, the internal has mount point /sdcard, and the external has /external_sd. Nothing you should normally need to know, unless you want to mount them manually in adb shell.
I provide it in two packages, dependent on how you want to flash it. One for flashing manually in adb shell, and one for flashing with Odin.
recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-ancora.zip -> for flashing in adb shell
Don't flash the zip file, but extract and flash the img file.
recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.5-ancora.tar.md5 -> for flashing with Odin
Select the ops file, and enable one package in options, then load the md5 file with the One Package button
In addition, you need Ancora.ops it you're gonna flash it with Odin.
How to navigate in menus:
Volume buttons = go up and down
Home button = select
Power button = go back
I'm too busy right now to write further extensive instructions, so if anyone else would want to do it, that would be great. Otherwise refer to the RZRecovery thread on how to flash in adb shell.

Thanks arco, i can smell ics for sgw already..

Hi arco68....most of us have already flashed RZR-2.1.4-ancora-rec.img testing the current ROMS here.
Once flashed no problems right it will be overwritten......

thanks so much for your works!~

CWM on galaxy W....good stuff bro

Anyone knows if I use via ADB flashing will the original RAZR wiped out ?
Please advise thanks

Thanks arco68 !!!
Does this CWM support backups on external SD ?
I am having trouble doing this with RZRecovery.

I tryed to flash it using the adb shell but now the phone start only in download mode.
I'm going to re-flash the stock rom KL3, abd I will try with the odin procedure.
How can I do? I have to use, as for the rom, the voice "one package"?

You should flash the stock then get root (not sure if needed, but just in case).
Than you will have to open ODIN v.4.43 and select the Ancora.OPS as OPS-file.
After that is selected you can use the OnePackage button to select the downloaded MD5-file with CWM.
If you need the Ancora.OPS, I could upload it.

Hi Arco,
I did try it to, i flashed from ADB shell, when i reboot in to recovery , i get a menu and i can select things with the volume buttons, but when i activate a item then i see a hat with an arrow and then it is stucked.
I can go back to the menu, but cant activate what i choose.
Have to pull out the battery to reboot.
Had RzRecovery installed before this one.
Hope you have enough info to resolve this
Edit:
The activate button (left down on the phone) does respond on active and go back, while the go back button (right down on the phone) does not work at all.

I tried flashing through adb shell and it didn't work, but it did work with Odin.
I just put the package arco posted in the PDA slot (gave me an error but it worked anyway) and it flashed in 2 seconds. Recovery works fine, I just did a backup.
Edit:Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I was trying to flash the .zip file It obviously didn't work. It does with the .img

just backuped my system, the recovery is working like a charm.
thank you arco

ClockworkMod for Galaxy W what a nice stuff...
thanks Arc

guyz i have done the RZRecovery method and everything is ok, but i prefer the CMR. I just do the CMR with Odin (which i prefer than manual) and it justs overwrites RZR?

Did you have RZRecovery installed first? I flashed CWM with Odin over the stock Samsung Recovery and everything works fine.

so people with RZR flashed must restore stock rom and then flash CWM?

Clock work mod problem, please help

Galaxy S3 from at&t, i rooted my phone as soon as got it several months ago, I've flashed colockwordmode 3 times in the last day or so and i cannot make to work, i followed the steps exactly as described, Odin is showing the green pass, the binary cont is increasing every time I've tried but i can't get the phone to start in recovery mode by holding volume up, home and power! it just reboot and turns the phone on or it goes into the Samsung recovery mode (blue screen). Very frustrating!, anyone can please help.
BTW, when i rooted my phone i installed clockwordmode then and it worked fine, i had not has to use it since, I'm running the stock ROM i want to flash another ROM, before i do that i need to use clockworkmode and that's when i realized that it was not working anymore, then tried to flash it 3 times but no success. I still have root.

flash recovery again in odin but make sure the "auto reboot" box is NOT checked. once its done flashing, unplug it and remove the battery for a second. replace the battery and immediately hold down vol up+home+power. this should take you into cwm if it flashed correctly

this could happen when you didn't root it properly
anyways, if you are rooted(as you said), get twrp and see

+1 for twrp

athens71 said:

If you still have root, you might want to try installing CWM directly from your phone, using the dd terminal command to copy CWM into the right partition:
Download the latest CWM .img file from CWM's site: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Put the file in your phone. For simplicity reason, I would suggest you put it in the root of your internal SD card. And because you will need to type the whole path+filename in the terminal in your phone, I would also suggest you rename the file to something simple, like cwm.img;
If you don't already have it, install Android Terminal Emulator;
Now, open the terminal emulator, and type the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/cwm.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
(That is, if you rename the CWM file to "cwm.img" and you actually put it in the root of your internal SD card. If you put it somewhere else or did not rename your file, you will need to adapt the "if=" part of the command.)
Profit.

Just curious: are you trying to flash CWM via Odin? If so where did you get it from? Did you install a botched version of stock recovery maybe (or one that is from another model of S3)? Try TWRP from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28019751&postcount=1. It is at the bottom of the post and it is labeled "Odin Flashable TWRP Recovery" under Miscellaneous files. Download and install via Odin.
And if you are on Jelly Bean, your flash counter will increment in your dealings with custom recoveries and roms. You only option at this point (if you have root still) is to get Triangle Away and run it in order to reset the counter. However, even if you clear your flash counter, if you go back into recovery it will trip again.

I'm still using stock ROM, i'd like to install a custom ROM but i'm reading that you have to have Clockworkmod to do a successful install.
When i check in the files of the phone (sd card) i can see the clockwordmod folder in there there but still can't get it to boot into cwm recovery, only the Samsung recovery and I've tried the volume up home and power button so many times but no success.
Why do you think it worked when i first rooted the phone and not now?
this is frustrating, thanks for the help.

Yes I've tried 3 times via Odin, i can't remember where i got the cmw file from, it's a tar file (clockworkmod.TAR), the part i don't understand is why when i first rooted the phone in August cwm worked, i used it to install the root and now after trying to install it again 3 times i can't get it to work.
I'm using the stock ROM, not jelly bean.
thanks for any help

Download goo manager app and open that. There will be an option to "install open recovery" in the menu. Voilà a superior recovery that's easier to use
You can even use it to boot into recovery or install the new update for it.

Easiest way to install TWRP is using GooManager from the Play Store.
1. Open GooManager.
2. Press the menu key to open the contextual menu, and select Install OpenRecoveryScript.
3. The app will ask you to confirm you really want to install a new recovery image.
4. GooManager searches for the correct TWRP build for your device. Look at the Filename line, it should display openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-d2att.img for AT&T or openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-d2can.img for Rogers/Bell/Telus. Again, confirm the installation.
5. Wait for the download to begin. TWRP will install. Done.
If it does not work or if GooManager does not find the correct build for your device -- in this latter case, this should raise a flag for you, as you may not have a SGH-i747/SGH-i747M; double check your phone model --, you can always install TWRP manually. From TWRP website (http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2), you can grab the IMG file to manually install from the terminal emulator, and a TAR file to install using ODIN.

So if that's the case (This will happen until you load a custom ROM) how can i back up my stuff before installing a new ROM? that's the reason i was trying to make cwm work so i could back my stuff.

if you have root, download Rom Manager and install cwm from the menu.
i've also heard that, if rooted, you can erase /system/recovery-from-boot.p and /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer) an that will make cwmstick. this is due to newer software versions overwriting your stock recovery on reboot.

Prevention Information ERROR

Hi i have the following error :
When i try to click on WI-FI button comes up the following
prevention information
the device has detected an application attempting unppermitted actions and has stopped loading.To protect your device it is recomended you reboot.
I have rooted my phone using the topic here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633
i had to load the
http://k0nane.info/rom/SGH-M919-UVUAMDB-k0nane.7z
file first cos i was getting an failure when installing the superuser using odin 3.0.7
my recovery is TWRP 2.5.0.0 and i am on wicked v1
Anyone else have this issue?

I had the same issue if you check the build number and the baseband version they are not the same. If you re-odin the MDL build http://k0nane.info/rom/M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_TMB.zip again then WIFI should work again. I got it rooted after that by doing the following:
1. Load the OUDHS CWM-Based Recovery 1.0.3.3 for T-Mo GS4, via odin uncheck auto reboot and goto to recovery http://k0nane.info/rom/OUDHS-Recovery-jfltetmo-1.0.3.3.tar
2. Install Chainfire's SuperSU http://www.shabbypenguin.com/Android/Scripts/Nexus-Files/Root/SuperSU-v1.25+.zip then
3 Install [KERNEL] Stock Touchwiz MDB - SetUID Restriction Removed http://d-h.st/GcM
Between installs make sure you wipe the cache and davik cache
then you reboot you should be rooted with the newest update MDL minus the kernel lock

yes its not same the build and the baseband
Is it possible to be done using the twrp?
other recovery was little difficult?
can u send me the links i need please i just don't want to mess around and brick my phone
Thanks a lot

Check my post again, I couldn't get TWRP to work at first but it maybe i did not uncheck the the auto reboot box when I did that. Once the the recovery is loaded via odin you need to pull the battery then do the home-up volume-power to get into the recovery. I notice TWRP was a bit too sensitive and could not scroll down the list of folders to get to the zip files

You need to uncheck the auto reboot box in odin, after the recovery transfer is complete pull the battery and unplug from your computer then do a boot into recover by holding the volume up-home-power button. If not rooted follow the instructions in my post above at the very least you need to load the kernel file

So I did that with all 3 recoveries like 2 or 3 times each, nothing was working I unchecked reboot then would just pull battery after reboot and hold vol up and power to try and get into recovery. Sometimes the litlte blue would appear in the top left corner saying "recovery booting" and would just stay there forever other times that would appear and then the phone would just reboot itself.
Anyway finally found instructions that allowed said to try checking auto reboot and f time reset so did that with a TWRP recovery tar and then it finished and rebooted. I then shut the phone off and held power and vol up to get into recovery and it loaded fine. I was then able to flash the chainfire superuser and kernel you posted. So Thanks a bunch man!

[Q] Softbricked my phone. What to do?

I accidentally softbricked my phone. I flashed TWRP and ever since then it's in a bootloop. Can't enter recovery, but CAN fortunately enter download. How can I get my phone running again? I figure I have to use Odin? Where to download the files to use in Odin and how to use Odin?
Thank you so much

Yes you will need odin or heimdall to get it working again. If your on a windows machine odin will be your beat choice. I use odin 1.85 but any version should work for this.
What you need.
1. A pc
2. Samsung usb drivers
3. Odin
4. Recovery file with the md5 extension
Install samsung drivers and odin program. Know where the recovery file is saved on your pc (usually in downloads).
Steps to flash revovery
1. On pc open odin make sure re-partition is NOT CHECKED!!
2. Click on the PDA button and select the recovery file you downloaded
3. With battery removed press and hold vol -, home key, power key
4. While still holding key insert battery (I find it easiest to do this with phone upside down)
5. It will boot into a menu vol + should be continue to download mode
6. Now place phone down on your desk or install battery cover (you dont want the battery to fall out during this)
7. Connect phone to pc and you should see in odin that it is connected
8. Click start and it will flash your recovery and reboot
Now you are back up and running. FYI twrp for our phone does not have a developer that has this device. So the current version is not functional and will end up causing the same issue.
I suggest sticking with philz till twrp is fixed. Also twrp does not work for tw 4.3 or any 4.4 rom (aosp or tw).

Im flashed the unofficial root, worked perfectly. Along with this TWRP and it was smooth as well. If you are going to perform it, just be sure that youre battery is 100%, OEM Unlocked, and USB Debugging is enabled.
Even if you brick the device, there is the official firmware on sammobile so you can always go back in case things go sour.

It worked for you???

Yes. Get your battery to 100% then you should perform the process.
Follow the root instructions on the thread for more proper details, but it basically goes like this.
1. Charge phone to 100%
2. Enter your developer options in settings and enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. [Do NOT turn these off. It will soft brick if you do. Once you have them on, LEAVE IT ALONE]
3. Make sure to have the Samsung Drivers installed on your computer.

Yes. Get your battery to 100% then you should perform the process.
Follow the root instructions on the thread for more proper details, but it basically goes like this.
1. Charge phone to 100%
2. Enter your developer options in settings and enable OEM Unlock and USB Debugging. [Do NOT turn these off. It will soft brick if you do. Once you have them on, LEAVE IT ALONE]
3. Make sure to have the Samsung Drivers installed on your computer.

What you can do is make the NANDroid backup on your internal storage, then move it to the OTG using Rom Toolbox Pro by jrummy. It would work the same.

Twrp will still detect it if moved back to internal?

ok so i would just transfer the TWRP backup to the OTG drive removing it from the Internal to add extra space back to it then if i need to restore it for any reason i would move it back to internal? and then TWRP would detect it even though it was moved and moved back?? please reply?

That is correct. As long as the directory is the same and nothing is changed, you should be fine.
