Hey guys, whenever I try to flash clockworkmod recovery it asks me if my phone is either an Epic4g or a GalaxyS i9000, which one do I select? I tried the i9000 one and when I would try to make a backup or install a zip from SD card through recovery it would give me a signature error, any help?
[EDIT]
This can be removed, I installed "[RECOVERY] CWMR 5.0.2.7 for the SGHI927(R) - Alpha" through Odin and it worked perfect!

I am new to the whole rooting and flashing roms and kernels. I rooted my epic 4g touch via QBKing77's videos and then followed his video on how to install the clockwork mod recovery with the agat recovery. Then I went to google play and bought ROM manager pro and clicked "flash clock workmod recovery" and it showes that I have the latest version flashed, but when I then go to "boot into recovery" it boots into the clockwork mod recovery but when I try to use my volume buttons to navigate nothing happens. But they work in AGAT recovery? Whats wrong? What should I do?
Thanks
Im having similar issues with CWM. I have premium installed and when I click boot to recovery it goes to a weird android recovery with an android twirling something but there is no option for an image nandroid backup...and when i click on make a backup from the CWM menu it takes me to the same screen but says error and aborts... have the stock root...ff18....i have verified root. I also have odin mobile...it would be nice to be able to just upload whatever i meed from there without having to go thru all this odin stuff...Never had to with my att skyrocket 2
Why did you buy rom manager pro. Rom Manager can not flash recoveries on this phone. Recoveries are packed into the initramfs of our kernel unlike most phones. At best you get a temp flash which by the way has proven to be an unsafe thing.
I am not familiar if anyone has any updated safe repacks with just plain stock cwm. But there are custom recoveries based on it for stock TW roms. CM9 has stock CWM and TWRP though.
I don't think the video told you to buy rom manager pro and or to try and flash recoveries with it. You flash kernels that have recoveries. You can do this with tar's in odin/mobile odin and or if you have custom recovery cwm zips then.
AHHH was about to say i just realized i needed to update the correct kernel in order for it to work...thank you for the lightning quick response tho...

Okay thanks. So i can use the agat recover to wipe caches and install zips?
Hey so i formatted the sd card and system from CWM Recovery. Now when i boot up the phone it says its in ODIN MODE. How do i get a rom and recovery back on it. Windows doesn't recognize the phone now.
Thanks
EDIT: I can actually get into CWM recovery
EDIT: FIXED using the toolkit, flashed stock rom 4.2.2 "Option 9 on the toolkit" and then installed custom rom.
I used a root method on youtube today. SuperUser wouldn't work because the binary wasn't installed. So I tried to reboot and go into recovery, then I backed up and erased the data etc. So it failed on the AOKP rom that i was going to install then it wouldn't let me restore. So using ODIN fastboot i flashed over CWM 5.5.0.4. I think one of the new CWM recoveries has USB Storage Mount but on there website the zips only come in .zip and not .tar so I can use odin to flash it over. When I try to flash the stock ROM (.TAR) (619MB) through odin it fails. Someone please help me
Hi guys.
I am unable to flash CWM or root my i9082. I followed the guide and even successfully installed cwm but when I boot into cwm it says no command found and automatically boots into stock recovery. Then when I tried to install rooting package from stock recovery it says E:Signature verification failed even though when i have not changed the name of the rooting package.
Can someone help me. I have Android 4.2.2 on my galaxy i9082 duos.
I even tried philz recovery but still same.
Thanks

First of all..... you must place the "UPDATE-SuperSu-v1.25.zip" & "Fix-Recovery.zip" file in the root of external SD card....
While installing CWM using ODIN you must uncheck the "Auto reboot" option in the odin.....
after succesfull flashing of CWM remove the battery for 10 second and reinsert in after 10 sec....
now boot the phone in recovery using "vol up+home+power key" & not to the stock rom..... if you boot into rom.... the CWM will be automatically replaced by the stock recovery.....
after booting into CWM go to Install from SD card and flash the Fix-Recovery.Zip" first and then flash the super user....
and now you are done....
if you cant flash the fix recovery the after booting to rom it will again reverted to stock recovery...
hit THANKS if it helps you....
First time flashing ROMs, installed resurrection remix tryed to install Gapps which failed, yet RR booted up on its own just fine. Then tried to flash a new recovery on it (TWRP 3.0) yet the phone would just never boot up to complete the recovery install. So now i have a phone which wont enter recovery mode and cannot complete the download of the new recovery.
TLDR: Phone wont boot into recovery as ROM is broken so download cant be fixed?
Previous: recovery TWRP 2.6
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-19195
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks
Are you sure that you have flashed the right Recovery for your Phone.
Normally the way is.
Boot into Recovery
Install the Recovery .zip file
Reboot into Recovery.
Reboot into System ( ROM )
Can you post a link where you download the Recovery and which file.

That would only work from TWRP ver 2.8.4, I think you missed he is still on very old TWRP or maybe he edit later , he would have to install with Odin method
@Spec77
If you can boot into download mode you should be able to flash new recovery with Odin method (NOT use zip file).
As Bierma suggests maybe you flashed wrong TWRP does your phone have another letter and after gt-19195 if so it is a different phone & you need different TWRP. Or maybe you just tapped wrong link.

This way works also if you come from a CWM or PhilzTouch Version.
If you come from TWRP =>2.8.4.0 than you can flash an *.IMG File ,but you can flash on all Versions a *.zip file.
Managed to fix the brick
Thanks for the help, I managed to fix it by installing TRWP 3.0 from ODIN, and now that i have that I'm fine
Thanks!
