Wildfire ROM update - backup questions

Hi everyone,
I'm using a HTC Wildfire and am considering changing from stock (HTC non-branded) to CyanogenMod for a number of minor reasons. Could anyone just confirm that I got a few points right before I get started:
- Recovery is totally independent from the ROM itself, right? So I can flash ClockWorkMod Recovery only, continue to use the stock ROM, but have the additional features of ClockWorkMod available, such as backup, with which I can create a complete backup of the stock ROM. In case I don't like CyanogenMod, I can restore the stock image and be exactly where I left it, Apps, Settings and everything (of course the new Recovery will still be installed.) Is this correct?
- I'm planning to do the following steps (I read about the details, just want to confirm the basics):
x use the Revolutionary way to S-OFF and install new Recovery
x create full image backup of the stock ROM using the new Recovery
x install new ROM (ClockWorkMod)
x if I don't like CM: restore image created before to return to stock
-> This should work, shouldn't it?
- One more: What will happen if the the phone is S-OFF, an alternative Recovery is installed, and a HTC Firmware-Update is attempted? Will this work at all, will it update just the ROM, or will it update the Recovery, too? S-OFF will not be changed back to S-ON, right?
Thanks for your help.
Regards

1. Yes, the recovery is in it's own partition and is independent from the ROM
2. The recovery creates a "snapshot" of your current ROM. So when you restore, it'll be just the way you left it.
3. There's no need to do any HTC Firmware updates after installing a custom ROM (infact, I'm almost 100% sure that it won't work)

As a basic answer yes you go ahead with what you posted.just make sure your hboot version is compatible with revolutionary 1st etc etc.
As for HTC firmware update question,if your talking about the over the air updates I'm not sure but I think it would update your hboot thus reverting back to s-on status again so best not accept it if you do get one (turn off in settings)

No, the manual ones you can download directly from HTC and install via USB. My understanding was that this would kill everything flashable, including radio and recovery. It would be reassuring to have a worst-case way to go back to stock in case the image-restore fails for whatever reason.

Ah sorry never dealt with any firmware updates. There are ruu.exe to help get back to stock if something goes wrong I think.

You can go completely back to stock, s-on and all but believe me once you have cwm installed there really is no point unless its for warranty reasons, backup fails are rare with the latest recoveries + if it does fail with your first backup you can always post here and we will explain how to extract a stock Rom from an ruu to put things back to how they where before or you can flash a custom sense Rom and modify it to your liking.

Yea, exactly. I'm a little on the paranoid side, I know... ;-)
Ok, I'm on my way now. I've performed the "Revolutionary" S-OFF and am now running "Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4". Is this an out-of-date version?
I've read about ROM-Manager being able to auto-check for and flash a new Clockworks Recovery, but I've also read that ROM-Manager needs root. I have not yet flashed a new ROM, so I assume that I'm not yet rooted, am I? Can I find a ZIP of CWM that I can directly flash from the SD-card?
Does the CWM-version I'm running have any effect on the "quality" of the image backup? In other words, if I create a backup now, will I be able to restore it later running a different version of CWM?

The "different version backup restore" is a bit wonky and won't always work.
To flash a different recovery from the SD card do this:
1. Place this file on your SD card (Not in any folders!): http://www.multiupload.com/74EW2VPNHL
2. Boot into the bootloader
3. Wait a bit and then it should prompt you to update
4. Click the volume+ key to update
5. Remove SD card
6. Boot into the new recovery and insert the SD card
7. Go under mounts and select Mount USB storage
8. Delete the PCIMG file from your computer

I tried to, but I couldn't use the link. The whole domain seems to be down - maybe another holy crusade of Big Content, who knows. They sure leave fans in their wake, don't they.
Since you indicated that updating would be ok for the wildfire I went to http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and downloaded the file recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-buzz.zip.
However, I'm not sure how to handle it: If I put it on the card under this name, nothing happens on bootloader-start. In recovery, I can select the file and install it, and then I immidiatly get a newly colored menu with the new CWM version 5.something. However, once I restart, the old CWM (v4.x) is there again.
I assume I need to use a magic filename so that the bootloader performs the update, not the (already running) recovery. Right?
**EDIT: Ah, disregard. I believe I found the answer myself.

Do you have fastboot?
If you do I can give you the recovery.img I'm using, which you can flash via fastboot.

Yes, fastboot is available.
Thank you.

Okay, here's how you flash a recovery via fastboot.
1. Extract the .zip I attached to the location where you fastboot is
2. Reboot phone in the bootloader
3. Select fastboot and attach USB cable
4. Open up the command prompt and type in "cd [location of fastboot]
5. Type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
6. You're done
Oh and by [location of fastboot] I mean that you type in the location of fastboot.

Wow - this was fun. There was something really curious going on with my device: Whatever I tried, no "official" way worked to modify CWM v4 to v5. In every case, the menu of the new version showed up and was usable, but was gone again after restart. After the file-on-card method got me nowhere (file was not recognized), I tried the high road and installed ROM-Manager. This complained about missing su. So I installed su. After that ROM-Manager downloaded CWM v5 and put it onto the card (into a file named update.zip - ahh... ) On restart, the CWM-install-screen came up, then the v5 menu.
And after restart, it was gone again. Even ROM-Manager was confused: He showed v5 as "installed", when in fact it was still v4. ;-)
So finally I downloaded the Android SDK (to get fastboot.exe) and performed the flash as you suggested in the first place. And it worked. First try, without hitch, permanently.
Thank you very much for your help!

The problem with ROM Manager's version is that it's only temporary and can only be accessed from the ROM Manager itself

Rooting Captivate Glide on version 4.0.4

This is how to root your samsung captivate glide on ICS version 4.0.4
Step 1
Go over to http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and scroll down to ARM devices (2.0 – 4.1). Then you will see 3.2-RC2 under it is a link to the download, click it to start the download.
Step 2
Ounce you have downloaded it you want to put it onto the root of your SD card. You can do this by putting it onto your external SD card and copying it over to the root of your phone.
Step 3
Boot into CWMR. You can do this by shutting your phone down completely and ounce its shut off you hold down power and the volume down button.
Step 4
After you boot into CWMR you want to install zip from SD card so hit the volume keys to move up and down and click install zip from SD card. Then you scroll down to where the Superuser zip file is and flash it.
Step 5
Finally, once you have flashed it you want to reboot your phone by going back to main menu and clicking reboot. Now your done!! Just wait for your phone to boot up and you have successfully rooted your phone!

If you don't have CWMR after flashing ICS with the OneClick-Tool use this Guide for reflashing CWMR:
[RECOVERY][7/11/12][I927(R)]Clockwork Mod Touch Recovery 6.0.0.1 (STABLE)
A Working Download Link is somewhere one the last pages of this thread.
You will need the Odin-Tool.

Thanks

On that page it only has 3.2-RC3 now intead of 3.2-RC2. Is that basically the same thing but a newer version or something completely different that I don't want?

It shouldn't matter its just the newer version of superuser.

When rooting 4.0.4 can you get it so you can overclock to 1.2ghz like the other rooting guide says?

No, though at some point in the future we'll be able to. Overclocking is something that requires kernel support, and samsung hasn't released the source for the kernel we're using with ICS, so no custom kernels that will work with ICS have been made yet. Once that source is released, it's fairly simple to add overclocking support, and someone will have a custom kernel up fairly quickly. Then you'll just need to flash that, and overclock away.

Is this smeant to work on the Rogers version SGH-i927R with stock Android 2.3 as well or only 4.0.4 ??
I tried the steps and there were no errors during install but its seems to have only half taken.
That is:
Superuser: Runs and says its rooted. It lists apps given root priv.
Root Checker: Says its rooted.
Titanium Backup: Says not all requirements met on startup and stays on black screen saying aquiring rights.
My Backup Root: Given root but when actually starting a backup it stays at 0%.
Directoy Bind: Given root but when it actually goes to create a link it hangs.

Create.a thread in the general forum explaining exactly what you did and when your phone errors

Sorry to continue this thread at such a late date, but I have tried this and am having problems getting it to work.
I have a refurb Captivate Glide that AT&T gave me when the screen died on the original one. Samsung KIES would not update the refurb phone to ICS no matter what I did, so I had to read everything I could to learn to use ODIN to do the ICS update. I got that done (no thanks to AT&T), but now I want to root the device so that I can. tweak the performance and use "rooted apps."
I readily admit that I am a noob... However, I followed the directions in this thread and I am not ending up with a rooted device. I downloaded the ZIP as instructed, I put it in the root of what shows up as "Phone" for the SGH-I927 device in my Win computer's File Manager, rebooted the phone into recovery mode, selected apply update from external storage, then selected "..\", and then reboot. (There was no option to select the ZIP file directly... also, I see some references on the web to the file needing to be named update.zip... do I need to rename the zip?)
The Root Checker app tells me that the phone is not rooted. The app locates the Superuser app (I installed it from Google Play), but it cannot find the su bin.
Any suggestions?

External storage in recovery (CWM, right? If not, you have to install clockwork mod recovery via ODIN) is your SD card. You need to put the .zip file on the SD then.
You can also install root zip from internal, so you have to put the zip on the Phone part in windows explorer.
The correct zip should be selected in recovery when installing.

Thank you for your reply. When I load the My Files app on the phone and scroll to the bottom, I see the Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip file in the phone's /sdcard folder. Is that as it should be?
When boot the phone into recovery, all I see is folders to select from when I select to update from external storage... I do not see a specific file that I can select. Regarding CWM, I thought that was just another name for the phone recovery mode at boot up... Is CWM something different?
Again, thanks a lot for you assistance.

CWM = Clockwork mod recovery, its needed to install any .zip update, and it differs from the default one. You cannot install any update unless the official one (I guess) via the default recovery.

Ok, thanks for setting me straight and for the link. A couple of questions...
1) I know how to do the update via Odin, since I updated to ICS w/ Odin. However, before I flash the CWM to the phone, can you tell me if I am going to lose anything (data, apps, etc.) before I do that? I will do a backup, but I would prefer not to have to restore everything on the phone again. (ICS update was bumpy... lost some stuff and restore from backup did not work as well as hoped)
2) Will installing the CWM prevent me from installing other firmware updates in the future?
(e.g., maybe a future Jelly Bean update for Samsung Capivate Glide? )
Again, thanks for all of your generous assistance.

different file, but works.

[Q] Rooted with Odin biut stills says its not? Help?

Good Morning XDA!!!
I went through the Odin Rooting process last night and everything went as planned. I downloaded CWM Manager through Google Play and when I go to open it up it is telling me that the Super User file is not there. I have put Super USer on my phone but again it tells me I need to root my phone. I will admit I am a bit confused, I can boot into CWM mode but since I am not flashing a new rom at the moment I don't know what I did wrong. I did go into the CWM manager to "Flash ClockworkMod Rocovery" but it downloads then tells me there was na error with command lines..........Is there anyone who can help me out.....I really don't get where I went wrong, cause everything says I rooted the phone.....Thanks for any help......

Go into Settings>Apps>Superuser and clear cache and data. Go into the market and go to SuperUser and see if there is an update. This should update the binaries. Then try a Root App to see if you get the SU toast.
2nd option is to boot into recovery and go to wipe /Cache then advanced and wipe /Dalvik-Cache. While in Advanced, hit Fix Permissions and let it run. Reboot and try a Root App.
Btw, you never said how you rooted. Your title says Odin, so I am assuming mrRobinson's method.

Sorry about that......I used the method from this site....http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s3-sgh-t999-t-mobile-easy-root-99302/
It did everything that was explained was supposed to happen.....its just I get the feeling I missed something somewhere.....I hope this helps....I haven't rooted anything in years.....lol

Ok, so you downloaded ROM manger from the market and tried to run the recovery script and it is saying that you don't have Root correct?
I agree, I think that you did miss a step somewhere. I suspect it was in between the CWR and SuperUser zips.
Are you familiar with Odin? I assume so since your first post said you Odin'd, but just double checking. I suggest you either start over from the link you posted or try mrRobinson's method. It is real easy and gives you stock ROM, rooted and has the option to install a custom recovery (like CWR or TWRP) also.
Here are Odin versions of both CWR and TWRP. Do this after you've done mrRobinson's method. Once it is done with first reboot (don't forget this take the longest time to boot bc it is rebuilding the /Dalvik), reboot back into download mode and flash either CWR or TWRP that way and you should be good to go after that.

The last phone I rooted was a Mytouch 4G. I am not familiar with Odin. I just went to the site that I posted in my last reply and followed the directions exactly. I only downloaded the IMG file for ClockworkMod that it supplied. It never told me to install or download a SuperUser zip file. I can boot the phone into CWM after shutting down, but when I open the CWM Manager that I downloaded from Google Play it tells me the following:
" You must root your phone for ROM Manger to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
I am a uber novice. That's strike one....two....I'm a girl.....lol I just don't want to mess up my phone....it was really expensive......lol Thanks again for all the help you are giving me......it is greatly appreciated......

Ok then. I think you missed something then.
Let's do this. You want to download the latest version of Odin (It is here aboout half way down). Install it on your PC.
Then go to mrRobinson's thread and download this This is based off of the stock image TMO T999UVALH2
Perm Mirrorownload - MD5 Sum: 4abdcf029f248e66caa83c9c8477bdff root66_TMO_T999UVALH2.7z
and follow the directions. Unzip it and put the Root66 file on you PC where you know it is. Put your phone in Download Mode (see instructions in the link above on how to do this) and open Odin.
Click PDA in Odin and point it to Root66 file from above and make sure that nothing else is ticked above or below PDA. Click start. It should take about 5mins but less than 10 and you'll reboot and have a Pass.
Once that is done and your phone is rebooted, you can either install CWM or TWRP in odin or from the market. CWR= ROM Manager app; TWRP=Goo.IM app. Those will install your custom recovery.
Above all read the OPs f the threads I linked. They have valuable info in them.
Also, just because you are a girl has nothing to do with it. I know a few girls and women that are power users and will run circles around most in this forum. Don't sell yourself short.
I gotta get to work, but I'll check in on ya later on. Good luck.

and follow the directions. Unzip it and put the Root66 file on you PC where you know it is. Put your phone in Download Mode (see instructions in the link above on how to do this) and open Odin.
Click PDA in Odin and point it to Root66 file from above and make sure that nothing else is ticked above or below PDA. Click start. It should take about 5mins but less than 10 and you'll reboot and have a Pass.
Once that is done and your phone is rebooted, you can either install CWM or TWRP in odin or from the market. CWR= ROM Manager app; TWRP=Goo.IM app. Those will install your custom recovery.
Above all read the OPs f the threads I linked. They have valuable info in them.
Also, just because you are a girl has nothing to do with it. I know a few girls and women that are power users and will run circles around most in this forum. Don't sell yourself short.
I gotta get to work, but I'll check in on ya later on. Good luck.

Ok according to your original post you have recovery. so go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726088 and download the superuser.zip file and place it on your internal sd card.
Reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip and reboot and you will be rooted.

You go girl, do your thing...lol i'm happy it worked. Now happy flashing :thumbup:

Good job man. Looks like we may have converted another crack-flasher.
Jinx, first thing you need to do is boot into CWR and make a Nandroid. Save a copy of it to your PC for safe keeping. This will help you recover from any "mishaps".

Why it didn't work
When the phone reboots, it destroys the flags on the root software that was added via Odin.
To get around that problem,
do the odin process again, but uncheck the auto reboot before you start.
Then when the process is finished, take out the battery on the phone.
reinstall the battery after a few seconds, and then....
BE SURE YOU DON'T MISS THIS STEP,
GO INTO cwm PROCESS TO FLASH THE FILE YOU LOADED WITH ODIN.
if you miss the 3 button CWM load it messes up the file and you again have to reload it with odin, so that part is where you might be having the phone not actually root.
Go to this website and watch HOW TO DO IT till you can do it in your mind without any missteps...
Then, It WILL WORK!

Odin Says "Pass", But phone is not rooted.

Hey guys I followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2235366
I used a file called "CF-Auto-Root-d2spr-d2spr-sphl710.tar"
Everything goes well and I get a green pass from oden3, the phone reboots. But superSU is not installed and when I check "Root checker" there is no root....
I have 4.1.2
Thoughts?

Just download superuser and simply place it on your phones SD card it's really easy

Your phone is not finishing the process it seems. After Odin says pass do you get a big red Android on the screen? If not flash the cf auto root file but uncheck auto reboot in Odin first. Then when it finishes, pull the cable and remove the battery. Reinsert the battery and manually boot to recovery by holding volume up+home+power and it should finish installing root.
I don't know what the post above me is taking about. Installing superuser isn't going to magically give you root. js

It wouldnt brick the phone but if you are seeing the red android then i was mistaken about what your issue is so disregard. Is your phone new?

You want to press install then hit "up a level" until youre in the root "/" directory. Then choose "external_sdcard" then tap "root.zip" and swipe to confirm at the bottom.

It's basically the same thing. Cf auto root will install a special recovery made by chainfire and a cache.img with a root zip. It's supposed to flash that zip then restore stock recovery. I've never seen cf auto root fail to do the job so im not sure what went wrong.
But the way you did it was you installed your own custom recovery and manually flashed a root zip created by me instead. Only thing different here is that you still have that custom recovery instead of stock recovery now.

The custom recovery is the same with the exception that it gives you additional privileges over stock recovery. Like installing custom roms, so if you're planning on a custom rom soon then you may as well just stick with the custom one. I do however recommend you download goo manager from the playstore and updating your recovery to the newest with it before trying to flash anything. The recovery I gave you may be a little outdated. And if for any reason you want stock recovery back I'll make a odin tar of it and place it in this post

Personally I think the chances of your efs going bad are slim and a backup is more for paranoid people. With that said it never hurts to back it up. I just wouldn't restore it unless you have to.

Flashing the TWRP is the same way as you flashed Root.
Is this what you used ?
CF-Auto-Root-t0lteatt-t0lteatt-samsungsghi317.zip
If so ODIN was in there.... You are using the same method to flash the custom recovery. If you didn't use that file above, that may be part of your problem.
The only way to get rid of the Knox messages is to disable it. Flashing the Update SU file will do that.

You flash the recovery file the same way.. Then you follow the instructions to boot into recovery. After you copy the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip to your external sdcard or sdcard.
Then follow the TWRP flashable zip install instructions. Takes less than 15 minutes for the whole process.
After it flashes, go to the supersu app, click it should pop and ask to disable Knox.
Or try and reflash the CF-auto-root file since you have done that already. Pay attention to the status screen makes sure it completes successfully.

So I pretty much have Flash the recovery file to install CWM correct? And then I boot into recovery mode, So I could then flash the superuser update? I think thats how it goes.. Lol im sorry it's kinda confusing.

Correct. The recovery file is the custom recovery.
There are two main types of custom recoveries.
- CWM, ClockWorkMod, which comes in a touch format or a format you need to use your power button, up/down volume keys to navigate.
- Or TWRP, Team Win Recovery Project To start with use TWRP, I think it is the easier of the two to use.
You have the steps correct.
1. Flash the TWRP custom recovery file in ODIN. (same method you attempted with the CF-AUTO-Root)
2. Reboot into recovery.
Power off phone.
Wait a minute and turn it back on. To boot into TWRP recovery (HOLD VOL UP+HOME+POWER) while it is powering on. Do this quickly after turning phone on, within seconds of powering on.
3. You'll see a screen that says Team Win Recovery Project at the top with about six grey buttons on a black background
Click install.
Upon hitting Install, you’re presented with the files and folders on your phone’s storage, from which you can select the file you want to flash. Find the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip.
With the file selected, you can swipe the slider to confirm and start flashing the selected file.
4. Once the flashing process is complete, TWRP gives you some handy options for quick access to certain tasks that many users would need to perform after flashing, eliminating the extra steps required to pick them from their individual sections. These include wiping cache and dalvik cache, and rebooting the system, in addition to a Home shortcut.
Click reboot. Then go to SuperSU app and test it.

Close your eyes and erase CWM from your mind.... Think happy TWRP flashing thoughts.
They are technically both the same thing. They do the same thing.
