Has anyone successfully installed clockwork recovery on the continuum? I was tempted to try the fascinate instructions
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA App
I have used Titanium Back up with success
Okay, I can officially say that the Fascinate Clockwork Recovery does not work... Fails on "updating from Verizon" or something similar.... Then reboots... Is that Clockwork or the standard recovery?
Okay, I did not backup my stock recovery (stupid stupid stupid stupid), so can anyone get me that file and tell me which directory I need to shove it in?

I cannot remember the process to backup the recovery. What do you need me to do?

Use root explorer or something similar, find the recovery file and copy it... Attach it here and let me injure what directory it was in... Please... I appreciate any help...

Or let me know... Somehow Swype changed that to injure...

I believe its more than just a file, you have to flash it.

If you know why the directory is I can post the files. Man, we really need some devs...
Also, you can might not need to flash it, but you would probably need to use ABD then.

Was informed that we could use dump_image to pull it and then flash_image to reflash. Trying to get ADB working at the moment. Typing on the phone is terrible.

The typing isn't that bad if you use swype or SwiftKey. Is there anything I can do to help?

OK this is the best I can do I think.
I dumped the recovery block with the awesome help from Da_G]NARF[ on the XDA IRC chan.
AFAIK this should fix it.
Extract boot.rar
Copy boot.bin to your sdcard
Unmount the SDcard if you copied from your computer.
Open a terminal either with ADB shell or im assuming a term emulator would work.
SU for root privs. then use this command:
Code:
dd if /dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096
This will backup your current one.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/boot.bin of=/dev/block/bml1 bs=4096
This will rewrite with the new one.
Reboot.

If you can pull the stock recovery and post it, that would be great...
Otherwise, could one of you try booting into the stock recovery and see what it does... I tried to load the Fascinate Clockwork using ROM Manager and I'm not sure if it actually did anything or not... I don't think Clockwork would check with Verizon for updates.... All I have experience with is Amon Ra on my Eris..... Would be great if it just failed to change it.....

Awesome, thanks...
Looks like it worked... I guess I might not know for sure until the 2.2 OTA comes out.... Fingers crossed...
I've been working on porting clockwork. After running
Code:
build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh device_manufacturer_name device_name /your/path/to/the/boot.img
with the path substitution, I get
Code:
unpackbootimg not found. Is your android build environment set up and have the host tools been built?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am new to these forums Well, i have been looking around here for a while for my Continuum phone, i just haven't said anything
I may be completely wrong... But do these steps (The ones in the beginning) install Clockwork? Or is that for something completely different?
and this is probably the wrong place to ask... But in order to install the Voodoo lagfix, you need Clockwork, right?
Thank you for your help everyone

Well this the right place to ask, and the steps you see are steps to flash the stock recovery back. Also, yes, we do need clockwork for voodoo.

I'm using a Terminal Emulator on my phone trying to run the command to backup my current boot image. I'm typing "su" first for root privileges then typing "dd if /dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096" but I'm getting an error saying uknown operand if. Help?
Nevermind, I've discovered the problem. The code to backup your current boot image is "dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bak bs=4096". There was an equal sign missing in the post above.
So I've completed the steps listed above and was under the impression this would restore my phone to stock. However, I still don't have the Verizon bloatware I deleted. Did I not understand what this process was meant to accomplish?
Forget to make a backup before trying to flash a rom?

WHat would I do - simply reflash the SU zip or would I have to re-push that to the phone ? (I know I sound like a noob here - but still learning the differnces between this phone and my old Epic4g - I recall seeing how sometimes everything on the SD card get's over written - but I wasn't sure if that happened in this case?)

i think that this download for cwm recovery is wrong or something because everytime i go to flash it after putting it on my internal storage like i would with a custom rom it fails right off the bat.
please help me im lost on what to do now.

Reread the first post. It is not a flashable ROM, it's a backup of the stock ROM. So you'll need to unzip it then place it on your internal storage under CWM/backup (or somewhere similar, not using CWM myself so unsure of the exact folder names) then boot into recovery and select Restore and then restore the backup you downloaded.

Hi guys,
I have CWM 5.5 on my S3 i747, and I just wonder where can I find the latest version of CWM for i747, and also how do I upgrade it using ODIN ?
As I understand, it should be a file named "recovery.img", and to flash it on my S3, I have to tar it and flash the tar file using ODIN. Is that right?
Thanks!
Download rom manager and get from there, I personally couldn't stand the latest cwm recovery its slow as hell took way too long to make a backup
Galaxy SIII via XDA premium
Download your version of cwm there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
Download terminal emulator from the play store. Run the terminal
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Type everything right. If you get the last number wrong, you get a brick.
I did this on my phone to install cwm touch without any issues

This is too much a big risk for the benefits it gives me if done right. Forget me on this one guys. Ill keep my CWM 5.5 :good:

U can always use rom manager to get latest cwm as everyone mentioned but that will be regular cwm.
If u want touch cwm than u got three options
1) use terminal emulator as mentioned in the earlier post
2) buy it from play store
3) flash through Odin.

They most likely will and even if they don't you could always flash a previous version of cwm( the one you made the backup with). No need for angry faces lol. You should search and get the lowdown of the consequences of everything you flash before you flash.

There's a new version of CWM for our phones, it's 6.0.2.3. I just flashed it and it seems that they removed the option to 'wipe battery stats' in cwm.
Can someone help me step by step flashing CWM on my E986? I searched the whole forum but they seem to complicated for me and whenever I write a post in between nobody cares, thanks for your help
I have the same problem lol, how do i flash this .img file.

Root your phone and download Freegee from the play store and see if that'll install recovery for you.

FreeGee wasn't working for E986 last time I tried. Do I have to unlock bootloader to use FreeGee app?
Today I was able to flash CM10.2 onto my E986 (orig. SW Version E98610a)
FreeGee didn't work, but I was able to flash the recovery manually (the one from the Official CM10.2 Thread) with this command (you have to be rooted to do that)
Code:
dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
after that I rebootet into recovery with no problems, made a backup and flashed CM10.2 and it worked without any problems
I hope this workes on other E986 SW Variants as well
Where do we write this code?
Via Terminal Emulator or ADB shell, but before that command, you have to enter su for root rights

Thanks
As I wrote before, you have to enter su before that command, and grant the app (e.g. Terminal Emulator) or the ADB Shell Superuser permissions
So you have to write this:
Code:
su
dd if=/path/to/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
And of course you have to be rooted for this methode
