[RECOVERY] CWM Touch 6.0.1.4~

I've seen a lot of people asking about getting the most recent version of getting this flashed on their device.
Here is how I did it (These steps are best taken directly on the phone itself to eliminate the need to transfer files to your device):
1] Download the *.img from clockworkmod's site: CWM Touch 6 image file
2] Download Mobile Odin Lite and the appropriate flash-kernal for i747... for your convenience, here are direct links, though it wouldn't hurt to look at the post and/or buy the full version to support Chainfire-san;
Mobile ODIN Pro
Mobile ODIN Lite
Flash-Kernal for i747
And of course, install the APKs.
3] Open the Mobile ODIN app, and choose "Choose File...". It should be at the bottom of the list of flashable selections.
Select the Clockwork recovery image that you downloaded in step 1 to your phone.
Selecting the CWM Touch*.img file should automatically place it into the recovery slot.
(NOTE: I renamed this *.img file to "recovery.img", I'm not a hacker genius or anything so I'm not sure if this made a difference)
4] Choose "Flash" near the bottom(bottom of selectable options for LITE) and it will almost instantly reboot your phone, normally.
Thats about it.
Reboot into recovery and CWM Touch 6 should be installed.
Worse comes to worse, this doesn't work?
Re-flash recovery via ODIN on a computer if it is unsuccessful.
Keep in mind you are flashing this of your own accord.
What worked for me may not work out for you, so as always, please don't hold me responsible.

[Q] Is there a zip of CWM Touch 6.0.2.3?

If I'm creating a duplicate post, I apologize. However, I am trying to find a zip of CWM Touch 6.0.2.3.
As I am creating this post, I see that there may be a recovery in other forums. Is the recovery the same across all devices? I just want to make sure I get the right one for my S3.
Thank you,
The one and only GBP.

Just made these .zips...
CWM 6.0.2.3 (SGS3 T-Mobile)
CWM 6.0.2.3 Touch (SGS3 T-Mobile)
Flash either of them in Recovery Mode.
CWM SITE

Thank you, I really appreciate your help.
So I know how to do that the next time, how did you create the zip file? When I was at the CWM site, all I could download was an IMG file.

Try using twrp its nice and user friendly if you want an alternative touch based recovery just download goo manager from the play store and give it a try can't hurt

HOW to create a .zip (flashable rom when new version comes out)
1. Started with older CWM .zip ROM that I knew worked in past...
2. Download Newest CWM Recovery .img file from CWM SITE...
3. Extract older CWM .zip and rename to newest Version number... example "Recovery_CWM_v6.0.2.3"
4. rename newest CWM recovery .img to "recovery.img" and copy to your extracted folder. (Write over older version)
5. Re-compress with WinRAR or 7-Zip and make sure it's .ZIP format, not .RAR or another type.
6. All done
*** All your doing is taking recovery image and updateing into newly created .zip
*** in flash mode, the Recovery option to INSTALL (or flash any zip) always reads META-INF\com\google\android\"updater-script"
the script it reads for this example is...
ui_print("Please Wait");
ui_print("Flashing recovery");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p18");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("Success!!!");
so you can see it 's just gonna put "recovery.img" in your "mmcblk0p18" Partition which we can see is the recovery partition.
there are many partitions like System, Data, Flexrom, Cache, Dvalk Cache, SD Card, etc...they all have same start with different ending numbers mmcblk0p18
I agree with dscott973, that TWRP v2.3.3.1 is the best RECOVERY ! I'd change to that one (my opinion)
You can do the same thing by puting TWRP image renamed to "recovery.img" in the same format as this thread example (and rename folder accordingly),
but very important, always make sure your using the same type. Make sure your using for Samsung Galaxy S3 (TMobile type).
Example : Don't mix Verizon or AT&T type (just know what your doing and label it correctly)

Thank you for your help. I'll take a look at TWRP. I just wanted the latest recovery because I'm considering upgrading to 4.2.1. I've read that the older recoveries struggle with the new file system, due to multiple users.

^So true, found that out the hard way... :silly:

ok. new noob here. so i have downloaded the file to root and install cwm on my gs3 from rootgalaxys3.com. the cwm in it won't allow me to flash a new rom. 'assert failed' is the only thing that keeps showing up. i looked into it and i think i have to upgrade my cwm version. so i found this link to the touch version for the galaxy s3. after i download it and i go to throw it in to the PDA slot in odin. its not there. so i extract it and i find 'meta-inf' file and a "recover.img" i can end up putting that in to the pda slot. BUT it ends in .img... is this ok or does the file have to end in .tar to flash properly and work?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Download ROM manager for cwm or goo manager for twrp and flash recovery from app in goo manager hit the menu button and flash recovery script. I dont know how to do it off hand in ROM manager but it is in there

The 2 files I posted earlier here are for FLASHING in RECOVERY only, not made for ODIN install.
another separate way to install Recovery is...
A) Download app from Market called "Terminal Emulator" (it's like using ADB commands on cell phone instead of PC).
B) use the same "recovery.img" from either of my 2 Zips earlier posted and then copied it to External SDCard (name of .img file has to match same name as in text below)
C) Run Terminal Emulator and enter these 2 command lines (Cell has to be ROOTED for su permissions to work)
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
D) Check to make sure you have Recovery.
-with cell being off, Use {Volume Down, Home, Power} to load up recovery and check it.

To directly answer the question, you can only flash .tar files with Odin.

[Q] Trying to install CWM Recovery but I got a problem

So as the title says, i'm trying to install clockworkmod recovery using the instructions on the cyanogenmod wiki site (because they also explain how to flash cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ROM. not included in this post). The link to the instructions is below:
Source: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_t0lte
So i'm actually stuck at step number 5.
5. On the computer, open a terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory:
heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot
Tip: It may be necessary to run the command as root in Linux distributions, ie "sudo heimdall [...]". If a blue bar doesn't show up after the process has finished or this appears: "Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!", it may be a symptom.
Tip: it may be necessary to capitalize the name of the partition on some devices... ie --KERNEL instead of --kernel, or ---RECOVERY instead of --recovery
Tip: protocol initialization can (does?) fail if the device is connected via a USB hub - connect directly to the PC
6. A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred.
7. You need now to manually reboot the phone into ClockworkMod Recovery mode.
8. The Galaxy Note 2 LTE now has ClockworkMod Recovery installed. Continue to the next section.
So when i download the cwm file from the cwm site or from the link in the guide, i can't unzip it with WINRAR or Winzip.
and when i run the command as stated above, i get an error message saying: " 'heimdall' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." So i'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do now. Anyone have any thoughts?

Unless you have a definite reason for heimdall, use odin software.

Odin. ...and done. ...g

I never understand why they make such long instructions.
In my opinion if your phone is already rooted just install Rom manager from the play store. Rom manager has an option to install the custom recovery. Though I recommend twrp as recovery. Much easier to use.

[RECOVERY] CWM D802/F320(K/L/S)/ATT/VZW [v6.0.4.4][CACHE][LOKI][OTG][ZIP][CN/EN]

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY NEGATIVE IMPACTS OR CONSEQUENCES ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU SO CHOOSE TO USE THIS GUIDE.
PREREQUESITES
1) You must be rooted.
2) Download one of the following for your variant:
ENGLISH SEMI-TOUCH - for D802 Recovery (6.0.4.4) here, for the F320K Recovery (6.0.4.4) here for the F320L Recovery (6.0.4.4) here, or the F320S Recovery (6.0.4.4) here.
CHINESE SEMI-TOUCH - for D802 Recovery (6.0.3.9) here and (6.0.4.4) here, for the F320K Recovery (6.0.4.4) here, the F320L Recovery (6.0.4.4) here, or the F320S Recovery (6.0.4.4) here.
OFFICIAL NON-TOUCH - for D802 CWM Recovery here, or the D800 (ATT) CWM Recovery here, or the vs980 (VZW) CWM Recovery here.
OFFICIAL TOUCH - for D802 CWM Recovery here, or the D800 (ATT) CWM Recovery here, or the vs980 (VZW) CWM Recovery here.
ZIP FILES - OFFICIAL - TOUCH: D802, ATT, VZW
ZIP FILES - OFFICIAL - NON-TOUCH: D802, ATT, VZW
ZIP FILES - UNOFFICIAL: D802, F320K, F320L, F320S
NOTE I: The official versions all have loki support enabled (and can be disabled if wanted ).
NOTE II: The unofficial versions do not have the wipe cache bug but do haveUSB-OTG capabilities!
CHINESE MENU TRANSLATION
1) Reboot System
2) Install from ZIP
3) Wipe Data
4) Wipe Cache
5) Backup & Restore
6) Mounts & Storage
7) Power Off
NOTE: The bottom of any submenu always has a right arrow < to go back to the previous menu.
INSTALLATION (Recommended)
1) Make a folder for the CWM Recovery.
2) Extract the contents of the file you downloaded earlier to the folder you just created.
3) Ensure the you have Developer Options enabled.
4) If you already have Debugging Mode enabled turn it off, then back on.
5) Connect your phone and ensure that the RSA Fingerprint message appears, and that you accept.
NOTE: THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP! If you do not get this message and try to continue, you will not be able to install CWM recovery!
6) Open the CWM Recovery folder and double-click the file ends in "...recovery.bat".
7) A command prompt will appear and will go through a process flashing recovery to your phone.
8) Wait a minute and the process should conclude. Press any key to make the prompt disappear.
9) This will cause your phone to reboot into the CWM Recovery!
SPECIAL NOTE: The RSA Fingerprint message can be hard to get at times. After I rooted, it was extremely difficult to make appear. If it helps anyone, I would connect my phone to to the PC, run "...recovery.bat". The command prompt would state it was starting the daemon and then would go no further. If I checked my phone (before disconnecting from the PC) the RSA Fingerprint message would be displayed. If you have checked to always allow your computer, then you will not get the RSA Fingerprint message, but the procedure should still work. This is also true of the official CWM recovery installation.
ALTERNATE INSTALL METHOD (No RSA Fingerprint message)
1) Get a terminal emulator.
2) Get a file explorer (like Root Explorer).
3) Get a RAR app for android.
NOTE: The RAR app is not needed if you are using your desktop PC (and you have 7zip or WinRAR or equivalent) and you move the files to your SD card.
3) Extract the contents of the file you downloaded and put the "g2_security" and "recovery.lok" files here: /sdcard/
4) Open the terminal emulator and type "su" then hit the enter button. (If this doesn't work, then you are not rooted).
5) Then type:
Code:
"dd if=/sdcard/recovery.lok of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery"
6) Then type:
Code:
"rm /sdcard/g2_security"
7) Reboot your phone and enter CWM!
HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to CWM (without actually resetting).
Method 2: Download the free app "Rebooter" from Google Play. If you have root, you will be able to select to reboot into recovery (among other options).
Credit: Credit goes to Chenglu (xiaolu) and djrbliss who made all recoveries for this phone possible.
WIPE CACHE FIX - UNOFFICAL (RECOMMENDED)
If you flash the unofficial CWM version, the cache wipe will take only 1-2 seconds!!!
WIPE CACHE FIX - OFFICAL
The data wipe is incredibly fast, but the cache wipe is incredibly slow. This fix won't match the speeds of TWRP's fix, but it will greatly speed up the process. This should only be done when switching to another ROM.
1) Boot into CWM.
2) Click on "mounts and storage".
3) Click on "format /system".
4) Click "Yes - Format".
Now when you perform a Factory Reset it should only take about 1-3 minutes (stock ROMs seem to take longer) instead of 5-10 minutes.
NOTE I: It may be optimal to re-perform this method after so many ROM changes, or after restoring to a stock ROM. I do not have enough evidence to support this.
NOTE II: I tested this method using the same custom ROM. Because there was no cache build-up from being a new ROM, I also tested this after restoring a backup of my stock ROM (that had a massive amount of apps and cache build-up).
USB-OTG
A USB-OTG device will be recognized as an external USB device while in the Android OS. However, when in CWM recovery, the
"mount USB storage" in "mounts and storage" does not work. Instead, use "mount/ external-sd". This only works on the unofficial versions.
MISC.
There is an "issue" with the date and time (1970). You can manually change a Backup folder name by connecting to the PC or using a file explorer.
SUPPORT
Please check previous posts to see if your question has been answered prior to posting (there is a good chance it has).
Please always include with whether you are rooted or not.
Please always include the variant you are using.
Please always include the method you used.
Please always explain what happened in as much detail as possible.
Anything else that may be relevant.

Yes thats the way, just choose hard reset and it should take you to CWM and not reset.

Dees_Troy and I just finished successfully testing his method for the D802. I am not sure when he will post the files, but I bet it will be by today.
So, people now have 4 choices for recovery: A Chinese or English CWM, or TWRP with 2 different install methods.

I will add this to the initial post.
There is now a thread for TWRP D802 with the most updated version, 2.6.3.2 (that can be found in my signature).

Sorry for maybe dumb question: if i install this recovery on my d802 can i use my stock rooted rom ? Because i had lg g pro before and after flashing custom recovery it was stuck on bootlop lg security error and i could use only custom roms
