Over the last few weeks many of you have had problems with boot looping roms and not being able to restore a nandroid. 9 times out of 10 the problem comes down to being cw 3.0.0.5.
Our Q & A forum has been flooded with questions about problems that could have been avoided if people would simply take a few minuets to update their recovery. This is NOT something that is mandatory, but please save yourself as well as the people that take the time to fix everyones problems a headache! There are two simple ways to flash the recovery listed below. Thank you all for adhering to this request, it will be appreciated!
Option94, Zinx and Koush have taken the time out of their lives to put this new recovery together for all of us. So please remember to thank them!
I have attached a copy of the recovery to this thread. For those of you who have the eng SPL (0.85.2007) place the file in your AndroidSDK\tools\ folder and the run this script from fastboot
Fastboot flash recovery c:\AndroidSDK\tools\recovery.img
If you don't have the eng spl or if you are unfamiliar with ADB you can use TrueBlue_Drew meathod below.

You can also try flashing this version from your recovery.

You can find the original cw 3.0.0.6 thread from option94 below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952433
mod maybe u could sticky this for a few weeks
You're right that this gets asked a lot. It should be stickied!
You might want to add that you must have the engineering SPL (0.85.2007) to use the fastboot method. I can imagine people trying that and not being able to, and not knowing why.
There's already a similar sticky in the Q&A section.
Yep, thanks.
Rom manager will only flash version 3.0.0.5. This is version 3.0.0.6. This is still the needed recovery for the 2 different file systems.
Ok. Perhaps we do still need this. Maybe I haven't flashed enough ext3 ROMs...lol
nice of you to post this even tho 3.0.0.6 has been out for awhile now. been using for couple months

Yeah it has, and that's the whole point. Despite 3.0.0.6 being out for so long, people still aren't using it and have no idea why their ROM won't boot.
yeah, but its THEIR fault for not researching and reading thru the forum

I agree! However, THEM not researching leads to the same question being asked over and over, which means WE end up answering it over and over. So it's to everyone's benefit to be informed, and hopefully threads like this will help in that matter.
totally agree
I may have a better solution. Need to see if I can get a hold of koush though.
I wonder why ROM Manager doesn't have it yet. (I've been circumventing ROM Manager anyway and just flashing through fastboot.)

Because 3.0.0.6 was not created by Koush and is therefore not an "official" build of CWM. It was created by option94 and distributed on XDA.

Technically, all I did was compile his source code for it. Its still his.
Maybe somebody will email koush and see if he is willing to put 3.0.0.6 in the Rom manager.

What exactly did you flash? Which specific phone was it made for? Is your phone completely non functional currently? can you get into clockworkmod? If you can, assuming you made a backup b4 flashing anything use it.

You can flash your stock recovery/kernel/radio/firmware via Odin through that screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374868
follow the odin tutorial there to get back to your stock firmware via Odin then you can root again or install CWM
next time you decide to mess with your software MAKE SURE ITS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PHONE SPECIFICALLY

You must have searched in a book on your coffee table or something, because you can't go more then half a day without an "ICS OUT YET?" post on here. There is even a semi-long thread called "ICS progress for the samsung SGS2 LTE" sitting right on the first page of this same sub section.
So before you try to be so sarcastic and snappy, use your head.
The Dev section has the roms. Use master and slaves new beginning.

We are talking about the app from the playstore named Rom Manager
ALWAYS CHECK THINGS FIRST ON XDA!
Don't install apps like "ram booster", "cpu booster" or any ****ty apps like that before knowing what they do. At least search them on xda and see the general opinion of the masses.
Hi there. I flashed cwm using rom manager yesterday. I face no problem it boots into recovery. I even did a backup.

yes i'm also able to do this, BUT as someone has apparently bricked by using Rom Manager i thought best to do this warning until 100% confirmed
Flashing recovery from an app is always risky. This issue is not isolated to the One V. It's always better to flash from hboot.
Yeah...wish I had seen this prior...on a side note I did manage to unbrick via Hboot zip flashing.

Nice info, bro thanks! I was almost going to do that:laugh:
And haha, smart ram booster isn't "****", i have been using that and its improved lag and battery, both :good:
I cant seem to find a flashable CWM 6.0.1.1 :crying:
As far as I know there is no CWM 6.0.1.1. Atleast not for the ATT version.
There are other Clockwork mods though, I will list them for you:
Normal Clockwork Recovery: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.5-d2att.img
Touch Clockwork Recovery: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.5-d2att.img
-- For these two clockwork mods to work they need to be installed in a special way. You must download one of the above, rename the file to recovery.img and put it on your main microSD card or internal memory.
Now, assuming you know how to use ADB,
Open up the cmd prompt and navigate to the ADB folder.
type adb shell
once in the shell type su
then type
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
And here is a link to the TWRP Recovery thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793224
I hope this helps.

Please make sure your information is correct before posting. This is from the ROM manager website. I don't think it gets more official than this.
well, can't upload screenshot. Just google "ROM manager apk" and it will get you to the official page.

I don't understand where you are going with that? The site, does not have the touch version *anymore* tho it did a few weeks before when i installed it. i was asking if anyone knew of an update in the near future.
Wasn't aimed at you in particular Eatonjb. I just saw a couple conflicting posts offering less than correct info. that's all.
You can b/u to your external sd card with 5.8.4.5. I didnt see that option w/other versions.

So, I have tried time and time again, and am still no closer to getting my phone rooted. I have spent hours reading all over these forums, and Google in general, and have yet to get a straight answer to my question as to why my phone refuses to root.
I am thankful for the advice offered, such as trying SuperOneClick that does... well, nothing. [Says my device has no drivers, yet,. Windows sees my phone as an Android device, and the program generally locks up after]. Was told that my image is faulty, and yet, somehow it's still installed on the device/working fine. [Was suggested to re-download the CW MOD image, and re-install] And it just goes on and on... then silence from the community.
So, to boil it down to the nitty-gritty, the only thing I am getting is, while I -attempt- to install SuperUser via CW, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
So, please, someone, assist me in getting my phone rooted!

try installing superSU...
Now, super one click ... don't use it, it isn't for our roms.
you should be using Odin to flash CW, and then downloading roms and flashing with CW
If you want support from the community, why not offer more information...
What are you running now ? UCLH ? UCLJ ? Jellybean, Gingerbread, ICS ? How did you obtain the version that is running on your phone now ?
i've discovered the only way to root Gingerbread is to download a pre-rooted rom.
ICS, install CW w/ Odin and then flash supersu or superuser .... There was, at a time, I couldn't get ICS to root and had to download a specific SU or SuperSU not on google store that I found by searching the forums ....
Give us more info, as much and as detailed as possible and we can help you further.

I used the official update from Samsung when it was fully released... finally. So, running 4.0.4.
What's SuperSU? Is that different?
For more details, I posted already to the fourms here before they went silent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35750419 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811065
As you can see, I tried everything, it's like my phone's being annoying... is it do-able to just re-set the phone to stock Gingerbread, and then just update using another ROM? And, if so, what one do I use? I just want a stable experience. Like, with the leak that came out not too long before the official, there was the keyboard error, and I even had issues with placing and receiving calls...
At this point, it's getting to the point where I am willing to basicly go back to out-of-the-box, then root the sucker, if I can do that. Seems perhaps a clean slate is in order, anywho.
Thanks for the quick reply, though.

From my computer, via USB, and not likely at all. Every component is new, and to make it more amusing, I did all this in the past with the leaked ROM before I got this new system on my last compy, so, yeah... if -both- computers does the -exact- same thing... prolly time to format the phone, and try again, somehow?

..okes.. I feel like somewhat of an idiot. I decided to just try one last time to get the recovery mod in there again, and, for whatever stupid reason, instead of seeing a blank background with the Android, I saw the CW icon, and a silver icon... I told it to apply SuperUser as I have tried so many other times, and it just... worked.
The closest thing I can figure is that my browser, and my eyes told me that I had multiple copies of the current CW Mod, but, in my working directory, I unzipped the -old- version.
To make it simple; I -now- have root on my Glide, woot!
