That's the stock recovery. If you want to back it up you can use sfhub's auto root package to install CWM. Here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

will this just install recovery? or overwrite write and re root.. my phone is on metropcs dont know if it will ovewrite any of the setting pre installed and change them back to sprint
thank you guys HUGE diff between evo and ept4.. not ready to flash just know having a backup is #1.. flashing will come in a while when I catch up know that roms are riskier than im use to for the evo

That will just install recovery. Safest bet on the recovery is el26cwm.

ok i have been reding this is what i believe i have to do.... since i already have root access and on el29 i would just have to use auto root option C to install cwm
I read that el26 is the safest way to flash like you mentioned to flash any rom and should be flashed when flashing roms.. being a newbee still tryin to figure out how that works.. right now i have no idea how i would get to cwm el26 to the rom el29 that im on..
thank you i REALLY appreciate the answers im reading trying to catch up if i find my answers first ill edit i hope it doesn't bother anyone or if the questions have been answered before

Be VERY careful when messing or flashing ANYTHING.
Wouldn't want you to ruin a nice phone. =D
But seriously, like the other guy said, "read, read, read!"

You can flash any GB ROM with the EL29 rogue recovery unless the install instructions for a ROM says otherwise. If you're going to flash an ICS ROM use the EL26 kernel or you risk bricking.
You can use Odin to flash the EL26 kernel with CWM5 to your ROM. Make sure to put it in the PDA option of Odin and only have auto reboot checked.
You can find Odin3 v1.85 (to Odin the EL26 kernel with CWM) in the second post of this thread (the same one I linked before) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
The EL26 kernel can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514665

Thank you guys like you said read read works I managed to figure out how to install cwm rogue did a full back up... Still reading how to flash Roms not going to flash soon tho
Now a minor problem pre installed apps from Samsung social hub, email, only work on mobile network is that common for them not to work on wifi. Push mail works on email but as soon as I turn on wifi Samsung apps stop sync
Aps gmail, Facebook official app, ect work on wifi so it has nothing to do with wifi set up...

You're still on el29 right? and you have CWM?

That's right el29 with rogue recovery

have you tried reinstalling stock el29?
Try sfhub's el29 Odin one click, then use his auto root tool to install the el29 kernal with cwm. Before you do that, to save your data, go into recovery and do a nandroid backup.
Just so we are clear, this MAY or MAY NOT fix your issue.

[How To] Root FB17 after flashing stock unrooted .tar

I've had no success in flashing the pre rooted .zips through clockwork. Shabby's would not boot past samsung screen for me and the other one posted in general by saladinacc had no data. When I flashed the .tar everything worked fine just had no root. Here's the way I got root.
1. Download ODIN & flash FB17 .tar from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1505437.
2. Download a GB kernel with built in recovery, I used Rogue Kernel here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341564.
Download .tar and flash through ODIN. Do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
3. Download SU.zip from here http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip. Boot into CWM recovery and flash su.zip. Again, do not try to reboot into system as it will not boot yet with the GB kernel.
4. Download stock FB17 ICS kernel from here http://www.mediafire.com/?f571n4e8wdhud21 and flash through CWM.
Reboot to system and you should have rooted stock FB17.
After flashing back the stock FB17 kernel you will lose clockwork.
This is just a quick and dirty work around until the devs release a pre rooted CWM zip.

I pm'd earlier and I am still lost. I cant flash the kernel in ODin. It keeps giving me an error saying MD5 invalid. Am I missing something.
thinking about giving this a try. Just one question, after Odin'ing the GB kernel, doesn't Odin Automatically try to reboot you into system? How do you stop it from doing that so you can boot into recovery and flash su...etc.?

I haven't tried yet, but can we just unselect the Auto-Reboot option in Odin? If not, just when the phone is about to reboot, hold down power and Volume Up and it should go back into Recovery.

damn flashing rougue is taking forever

[ROM/RESTORE] [AT&T/ROGERS/TELUS/BELL]Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET

[ROM/RESTORE] [AT&T/ROGERS/TELUS/BELL]Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET
IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE OTA TO STOCK TW 4.3 DO NOT USE THIS!! IT WILL CAUSE A HARD BRICK!!
I'll try to keep this simple.
So here it goes, short but sweet...
This is a Single recovery flashed file restore to UNROOTED STOCK with STOCK KERNEL, STOCK RECOVERY, MODEM, and Normal System Status with a Flash Counter at 0. Basically a replacement for the odin tar method for a quick on-the-go restore. This is the go-to file for a last minute trip to the at&t store or for unbricking without the need for a pc or ODIN. Plan on selling to buy something newer? Flash this to restore your s3 to an out of the box ota-ready state for the buyer. This will do what odin does with the addition of resetting the flash count during flash. This WILL NOT touch internal storage!
To keep a custom recovery flash one from below after rom flash before rebooting into the system.
To keep root access flash this after install BEFORE rebooting into system.
As with just about any rom you'll find posted on these forums, wipe data/factory reset prior to flashing and FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK as I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
Special thanks to @mrksbrd for helping me bring this to the AT&T variant, @Turbojugend for helping me bring this to BELL, @FabC87 for helping me bring this to TELUS, @gutlessmerc for helping me bring this to the 32gb ROGERS variant and @tobesedated for helping me bring it to the 16gb ROGERS variant.
** These zips contain full firmware flashing. Checking the MD5 is highly recommended
FOR THE AT&T/ROGERS/BELL/TELUS S3 (SGH-I747/I747M) ONLY!

I'm afraid you need a PC. You don't actually have to be rooted you only need a custom recovery. You also need a PC to do that tho.

I would assume you speaking of the micro end and not the USB port on the computer side? If that's the case will ODIN recognize a com port while in download mode? If your able to do that you will be able to flash a insecure boot image thus allowing ADB commands or use the toolbox in this forum to flash a recovery script. Of your able to do any of these we can get you going again.

Not able to flash recovery.. help please

Hello all,
I was hoping one of you can help me. I purchased an s4 m919 yesterday from Tmobile. It is fully stock and it arrived with 4.2.2 M919UVUAMDL.
I am no stranger to the world of rooting,roms and cwm. I had an s2 back in the day so I am no stranger to odin either. Basically my goal is this:
1. Install CWM
2. Backup Stock FW in CWM
3. Install Custom rom from dev section
My process with odin is as follows:
make sure all is UNchecked except auto reboot.
place appropriate cwm tar in "pda" section
click start.
The process begins and instead of passing it fails. My phone also softbricks and I have to restore with kies.
I've already restored and bricked once thinking that maybe the first time was a bad download.
I have no ideas. I've googled and searched on xda and nobody seems to have a problem flashing recovery.
Let me know if more info is required.
Thanks,
frustrated and confused
Are you rooted? Try installing through the Rom Manager app itself?
After you have rooted download cwm from market and follow the prompt's once clock work mod has flashed do a backup and you will need to download ad away by chain fire this will reset the flash counter and once that is done enjoy flashing
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app
Well it looks like ive run into a more immediate problem. Like i said I tried it once and it bricked I succesfully recovered with kies. I tried another download and the same thing happened. I went to restore with kies and now im getting an error in kies about 70% in. I need to go to emergency recovery and I do and that errors out. If problem persists contact samsung. Great.... I'm going to try and restore to stock using odin but my phone just seems to hate odin.
Edit: i tried restoring stock image in odin and fails almost right away. what is with this phone ?!
Try another USB port, and stock USB cable if you aren't using it. If you are grab a different cable and try it. If still errors out try another computer.
From my understanding you should have auto reboot UNchecked when Odin flashing CWM. Pretty sure you're supposed to leave everything unchecked and then after it's finished you unplug, pull the battery and then turn on the phone. Looks like your problem is before this though, so I would try another computer and make sure that you're using the stock cable.

Yes I think so I don't think having auto reboot checked would cause it to fail so bluntly. Am i just destined for a stock sgs4? Times like these makes me miss my nexus 4. I wish the damn thing hadn't broken=( oh well.. let me know if you have more questions.
Just follow a video step by step if anything. I prefer TWRP over CWM. If you do use TWRP make sure you use version 2.5.0.2 as 2.6 has been having problems!

[Q] update stock 4.3 with clockworkmod

Hi Guys,
I am trying to update to 4.3 and installed team win recovery a long time ago. Running 4.1.2 now and when i do the update from settings --> about device --> software update when it restarts it just shows me the regular recovery screen. How do I make it continue with install, I dont care if I lose root etc. Or where can i download the stock recovery. Open to any suggestions but need 4.3 for knox at work, better than using a Blackberry......
plz dont kill me i did a lot of searching the only similar blog post is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390127 but I can't find the zip online.

I think you should strat by reseting your phone to its original state and you can to this following the tread of the toolbox(i'm browsing woth tapatalk now so i will try to come back and post the link but it should be easy to find). You will use triangle away in the process.
Then update your phone trough samsung kies.
Voila complete stock 4.3 with knox

Is there anyway to put the stock recovery tool back and doing the update without resetting the phone back to original state? I'm not exactly following what you mean by toolbox
Is there anyway to put the stock recovery tool back and doing the update without resetting the phone back to original state? I'm not exactly following what you mean by toolbox. I can't find stock recovery anywhere and i would rather just keep everything as is.

I think you are looking for 4.1.2 stock recovery right???? Just making sure I understand, if I'm right I have what you need.
Hi, yes I just want to replace the clockwork recovery with the original Samsung recovery so I can upgrade to 4.3 over the air.
If that's what you are talking about please send a link.
They're are downloads for the t mobile Sprint ave Verizon variants but not AT&T...
Thanks

You can update to 4.3 with a custom recovery, or flash it via ODIN.
Check it out before you do OTA.

Can you still get to TWRP ? team win recovery ?? ....
But I think Zen's plan will be better.....
Here's the cwm/twrp zip for ucamc3 recovery.... (attached)
Note that the OTA may still fail if it detects anything missing or different than what it expects. In that case, a wipe of /system, then a revert to MA4, may be needed.
You want me to go back to TWRP? I have the stock recovery right now.

The simplest path is to reflash TWRP, then flash the recovery I provided above, then see if the OTA will complete.
You might also be able to get the OTA to complete by running the openscript option from TWRP .. I know DS has had some success with that, but ymmv. If you try this option, you may get more information about where the OTA fails - take note of that and report back.
If that doesn't work then the next option would be to wipe /system and then odin flash UCAMA4. This should get you a clean OTA path to 4.3, and your data and apps should be preserved (although there is some risk). I recommend making backups beforehand in TiBu and then copy your SDCard contents to PC.
Thanks for you help will report back later. have to wait another 20 hours to dl the OTA update again.
You can turn off auto update of network time and set your time ahead 24 hours.
An alternative if ota doesn't work is to flash the stock rooted mk6 package - odin or cwm odex... DS provided a link earlier.
If Knox is a work requirement, you would need to decline SuperSU offers to disable Knox and you would need to run SuperSU and request full unroot.

Extra setting need to get 3G data on?

I have two D710 phone here.. Both flashed with TBS4 V2.2 GB27 rom. After flashed, everything seem work fine till this morning. One of the phone I realize the 3G data Not work. 4G work fine.
Here's what I have tried
I disconnected Mobile data and enable back. Still not work
Update Profile and Update PRL.. still not work
I check the setting ---->status and see Mobile Network state show "Connecting" I reboot and battery reboot and still no work
Another phone work fine.. 3G and 4G with same Kernel and model and rom. some how a setting need to update or fix.
Try reflashing the Jellybean modem. No 3G but working 4G is indicative of a modem issue. If that doesn't work, backup or move anything you want to save to external SD (just in case, some of the one-click builds wipe out internal storage), and use the JB one-click builds located here for the correct carrier to start from scratch:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
You have run the one-click JB install that wipes internal storage already right?
It reformats the partitions to prep the phone for JB. It needs to be done only once but I've used it when I get stuck.

Alot of ROMs are based on the FL24 ICS kernel. If your using a Custom ROM 3G wont work as it cant access the built-in 3G feature of the modem If its a Jellybean ROM trying to use a ICS Kernel. If you read the All Stock Modems thread in Android Development it mentions this. Basically saying mix-matching means no 3G indefinitely. 4G and WiMax a probability.

So I flashed Slimbean (4.3) and got no data, then Pacman 4.3 with no data. I was told to try the Blasphemy kernel and flashed Dirty Unicorns 4.3 and I still have no data.
Is it possible to have data on a 4.3 ROM at all? I know 4G isn't an option and I'm okay with that.
Thanks

I flashed EL29 custom recovery because that's what the guides all said. Is that my problem?
I flashed the FL24 modem in CWM and it didnt do anything. do i need to start over and reflash everything?
wipe, then flash modem, then flash DU then gapps and restart?
The el29 you see posted about is a safe recovery not the modem. When you say it didn't do anything, what do you mean? Did it take a minute or two to flash, or was it super quick? Or do you mean you don't have data? In the about section on your phone, for baseband does it end in el29? FI27? FL24? And yes, you can just flash a modem.

Sorry my message wasn't clear. To answer your questions, flashing the modern in CWM was fairly quick, I don't remember a delay. I still have no data and baseband says FL24.
I moved a long distance last weekend which is why I've taken so long to respond.
Do I need to just flash again? I read that mobile Odin isn't friendly with flashing modems on this device.

Are you on the freedompop service or sprint? If you still dont get 3G. You need to upgrade your phone proflie. Go to upgrade section and update profile and see you get any signal.
Apparently Dirty Uniforms 4.3 lost data. They are working on it.
