Hey guys I rooted my eg4t with autoroot from SFhub and I downloaded ROM manager from the market to get into CWM but I get a triangle with an exclamation point when I try to boot into recovery. I tried the lost kernal with CWM and I flashed it with odin and I do not want to do that again because I lost wifi. So I am thinking about flashing Calkulins eg4t but since I cannot get into CWM what should I do at this point.

After you use the autoroot, there are other options in the autoroot menu to install CWM. The autoroot, I believe, only adds root to your phone. CWM needs to be added additionally.

This exactly ^^
This video explains getting CWM after you have root access: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZRnH-_XZmM
And our phone does not have ROM Manager support, so that app is basically useless at this time.
No shiznit now i feel dumb thanks guys

Nah don't feel dumb, you just didn't realize. I've made similar errors in the past.

BTW if you got the yellow triangle then that didn't come from the Auto Root package. You must have done something else at some point to put a kernel on your phone that wasn't signed by Samsung.
Nothing Auto Root does nor any of the ODIN tar packages I put together will trigger the yellow triangle nor will they increase the ODIN flash count.

This is probably what caused your yellow triangle.

If he didn't have cwm installed he probably went into download mode instead which shows that yellow triangle but not the error one

Well he did say he tried to flash a kernel that had CWM included in the kernel by using Odin in the OP, and doing that will trigger the yellow triangle.

Alright I used the autoroot method from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Now I'm the late adopting noob here but I tried to flash CWM from their rom manager application and after selecting my model it claims it was successful. If you try to boot into recovery it does the normal one. If you try to reboot into recovery from rom manager it gets stuck at the android dude with the exclamation after a short loading bar.
I have watched a couple videos about using ODIN and all. But I was trying to do this without changing anything. If I have to thats cool as it seems there are some stock repacked roms that would be comfortable to someone new like myself.
Phone is currently rooted, EK02. The only thing I ran into was some talk by the Galaxy Nexus rooters saying something about renaming/deleting a file. Most of the things I run into no one ever says how they fixed it just that they did.
Can you just revert back to factory condition (using the same script you used to root and install CWM) and then try again? Or does it produce the same error?

When you say "rom manager" are you talking about the Auto Root package or some other application? I'm thinking some other application because you mentioned "reboot into recovery from rom manager"
All you needed to do to get CWM was, after rooting with Option A, choose Option C and install EK02+CWM.
If you are now asking how to get back to something working, you can ODIN one of the factory restores.
Does anyone no a way to root the phone having gingerbread EL30, perfer not to use ODIN, Brick Last Phone because of odin.. Any Help Appriciated

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.

Check this method out originaly from here,

Phone shown is different from epic, method still stands with the correct files needed, Good Luck!
Okay, I'm not sure what's going on with my phone this time, but... I was assuming that whatever I used to flash my phone to the EL29, I figured it came with recovery. I thought whenever you Root your phone, you automatically get the recovery app. Well, for some reason, I don't think my phone has recovery on it.
(my battery is full)
I tried to go to recovery.
By doing volume up + power. It goes to the Android System Recovery <3e>
It says "E: update file is backed up: Reportedted
#MANUAL MODE#
--Updating application...
Installing Apks.
Successfully updated application."
So I click on reboot & then it says E: file is written... Update success
Then my phone reboots, and when it comes back on, my battery is completely dead.
Then I keep getting a pop-up that says Attention : no firmware update is available.
I use different apps, that say that my phone has root access, so that's why I assumed I was rooted.
But I don't know what's going on.
is there a different way to get into recovery? Am I doing it wrong? Do I not have the recovery on my phone??
Anyone help me out with any of this, I would really appreciate your input. Thanks

You only have stock recovery, it can only flash official signed files from Samsung/sprint you need to use the autoroot package from sfhub to put either cwm or rogue recovery on, look at the stickies in the dev forum you will find detailed information to help you achieve this
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Root and Custom Recovery are 2 separate things. You can have one without the other. If you flash custom recovery in Odin, you'll get the yellow triangle and increase your flash count. There are ways to reset, including USB jig and upgrading to ICS and using Triangle Away. The pre-rooted ODIN OneClick packages give you root, but flash stock recovery so you won't get the yellow triangle nor increase your flash count. Then if you want CWM, you can just use the Auto Root package to install it.
Whenever you boot into stock recovery it tries to install the pre-installed Sprint apps and then when you boot into the first time after going to stock recovery, it searches for firmware. That is just the way they made it work.
I don't know how you initially got EL29.
If you still have root access, the Auto Root sticky can install CWM pretty easily. Just choose Option C and install EL29+CWM-Rogue
If you don't have root access, you can flash the EL29 ODIN OneClick. The link is available in the Auto Root sticky. Choose the NoData version which won't reset any of your Android User Data.

Or use mobile Odin to flash a kernel with cwm in it .....look around aokp thread op there is a el26 kernel with cwm ...
Sorry sfhub I quoted wrong response lol

This is my question:what install program should i use for putting cwm on my phone,odin has more options and is more dynamic in it's functions,while e4gauto is simply for recovery placement,yet i never hear(read)anyone speak of it?Can someone give me some info.thanks

Well it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish and whether you're on ICS our GB.
i say go with ODIN
mainly just for installing cwm recovery on gb,since the majority of rom flash directions are coming from el 26 w/cwm....

but why is my question if all your doing is installing cwm....why does no one ever use it?odin has more functions?
If you flash a kernel not signed by samsung using ODIN, it will trigger yellow triangle and increase the flash count (which can be reset using USB jig, or if you are on ICS, using triangle away)
Auto Root (e4gtauto) and Mobile ODIN flash the kernel through a different method which does not trigger the yellow triangle nor increase the ODIN flash count)
If you are doing it from PC, Auto Root is pretty simple to use. If you are doing it from phone, use Mobile ODIN. You can treat the Auto Root package as a repository of stock and CWM kernels in that case so you don't need to download them all separately (just open the zip file and look in the copy2sd-img/000root folder)
thank you,
some call it the long way to flash but i always use auto or odin to go stock to flash a rom.i've read those are the most secure ways to do it.
Hi guys,
I've tried to root my device using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31801060&postcount=2
I used method 2 because I wanted CWM.
I found that when Odin reboots the phone it goes straight into Android itself, not the recovery CWM. I disabled the autoreboot and flashed again and manually rebooted but still my stock recovery persists, not CWM.
What can I do to get CWM?
Thanks in advance!
It should work.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
It will have CWM flashed. Maybe you should just tick the auto reboot option then when the OS loads up shut down your note and boot to Recovery.

when I boot into recovery it's the stock one, but it shows the status as custom. And the count increases with each time I run it through the ODIN process.
Any advice guys?
Maybe your flashable odin cwm file does not properly work. Something is wrong, Try to reset your flash counter with Triangle Away. Then proceed with installation.

Thanks for the help thus far! Just a question, does the flash counter value matter? Or can we continue flashing on top without harm?

It matters for me, I have an S3 mini and when my counter goes up, I can't use my back and menu buttons. In some cases you can just continue flashing.
