[RECOVERY] CWMR 6.0.1.4 for I957 (LTE)

UPDATE: Easiest to pull CWR 6.0.1.4 directly from page http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager or install via Rom Manager
*Prior post
First, I take NO credit for this. I went to the new clockworkmod Recovery Builder and discovered p5att under Existing Devices.
URL and the steps I used follow:
0) Make sure you have an AT&T Galaxy Tab 8.9 i957 LTE version
1) Visit http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ and choose p5att from the Existing Devices dropdown
2) Once the recovery finishes building choose the Status option
3) Download the recovery.img (non touch should be 6.67MB)
4) Download and install Samsung Tool on your i957 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1732112
5) Get recovery.img file onto sdcard (nrvate cm10 v7 has working mtp usb transfer; otherwise adb push or using a wifi file explorer)
6) Flash recovery.img using Samsung Tool
7) Reboot to recovery using Samsung Tool or Power option (in nrvate cm10)
8) Bacon! (always wanted to say that)
* I used this cwr on nrvate CM10 to successfully backup/restore and accomplish most other available options.
* I'm not a big fan of touch recovery but that does appear to be a build option. Maybe someone can test it out and report back

Nice find dude!

Have someone actually done this? The samsung tool does not flash anything in my case... Says done but it doesn't flash the image... Still in recovery 5.x.x.x

Try odin?

Make sure you are browsing to the correct recovery.img file when using the Samsung Tool. Flash the file twice. You actually won't get an acknowledgement it's "Done" (or any acknowledgement, although it works). Also make sure Samsung Tool has the requested root access by clicking Allow.
The .img file produced for this recovery is not odin or recovery flashable (to my knowledge). Good thing danhtc gave us the Samsung Tool.
My process above seems to be successfully repeatable for me. Anyone else had any problems? It has been silent in here since I posted this so not sure if anyone else is actually using it or not.

Thank You Worked like a charm

Works!

Can I flash this over twrp without losing my files? And would updating twrp wipe my files? Just need to know because I want to test this out but currently do not have a backup of my system.

Hi, someone out there can tell me is this work for tab 8.9LTE P7320?

How are you guys getting TWRP to install?

Hi there fellow note users. I am currently using CWM and running the ported ROM with MultiView on my AT&T i317 Note2. I can't seem to get TWRP to take at all. I've tried 4 methods... flashing over in recovery, Oden, terminal and Goo Manager. All getting errors without install. Help please

I used goo manager after going to this link http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 and selecting my device. Pretty easy install from the goomanager. Then from goomanager I "reboot into recovery".

Yes. CWM and ported ROM. Everything works well I just want TWRP. But I guess I'll do with CWM. If it aint broke then why fix it. It works I guess. Thanks.

Check your build prop for device name. Maybe its not correct because of the Rom you're on. Whats the error you're getting?

Did you ever get TWRP on your phone?

I've had goofy issues with TWRP but much prefer it to CWM. Originally rooted using CWM and SuperSu and switched to TWRP when I flashed CleanRom several times via Romtoolbox pro I've flashed updated Twrp it said it was successful but when it rebooted was soft bricked! Had to use Odin and original CWM to get back in and re-install everything (nandroids were twrp backups) found file downloaded to sdcard that worked fine! Odd...
How can you wipe out all installed recoveries and start fresh? Via adb? Like to wipe Everything n start fresh advice? Running TWRP 2.4X -==

If by "installed" you are referring to the recovery program itself (and not your backups), you can only have one recovery 'installed' at one time as there is only 1 "Recovery" partition on the device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9). So if you want to install CWM instead of your current TWRP (or visa-versa), either flash the appropriate new recovery zip via your current recovery... or Odin3 flash your desired new recovery tar. Either way, it will write to the same recovery partition. If you are referring to your backups... these are stored in the designated path you selected (either internal sd or external sd)... in the TWRP/BACKUPS folder. In that folder, you will have a device id #... in that folder are your backups.

Gotcha! Thanks the way it acted I wondered if there were "leftovers" in recovery partition or corrupt data. When I reflashed CWM or TWRP via ODIN it didn't say "Passed" instead "RESET" and I had to unplug phone and manually boot recovery which sometimes took a couple tries... Only boxes checked in Odin are reset time and reboot.

Which version of Odin3 are you using? When I used Odin3 v1.85 I would get the "PASSED" but with Odin3 v3.07, I also only got "RESET" (on an WindowsXP box)... but both flashed it correctly (and auto rebooted after flash)

Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 ATT]
I tried the [Galaxy Note2 TOOLKIT V3.0.0 ATT] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2052779 out of curiosity sake. Worked for me installing TWRP 2.3.2.3 without a hitch. Great tool from what I can see, and that's just one of it's many features. Great for simplifying things for new Android users just entering the customizing scene and regulars alike. Big ups to mskip for making this available. I can foresee myself grabbing the donate version here real soon.
And to get yourself SIM unlocked, get yourself back to 4.1.1 and give this a whirl.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982 Bought my device used, was supposedly unlocked, wasn't. Even came with an unlock code that the previous owner purchased. Firstly it's a no go on 4.1.2, secondly still didn't work when I dropped back to 4.1.1.

Flashing rom help

So is it possible to flash a rom without an sd card installed from cwm recovery? Thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom to see if it helps with my messaging issues. If so can someone explain his? I would think when I wipe in recovery it would wipe the rom off of my phone correct?
Thanks in advance

You can't root without an SD card in the first place, atleast I don't think you can do it on the GS3

Sure you can root a Sprint SGS3 without an external SD card. I did it, just used heimdall to flash TWRP (sudo heimdall flash --recovery TWRP.img) and then booted into it to TWRP and flashed TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5
Would be similar on Windows, would just use Odin and its TWRP or CWM image.
No SD card was required, just used adb push to get the file on the phone. Ironically enough to the *cough* /sdcard directory on the phones _internal_ storage ..
Also remember some of the most hackable Rooted, Custom ROM supported devices don't even have external storage --> Nexus7 for Example *Grin*..
Have flashing fun ! :victory:

Thank you for confirming this. I actually thought about that after posting that.

Well actually I wasn't even talking about rooting. Was going to follow the step by step in the general wiki to root, was actually talking about flashing a rom after I have root and cwm or twrp recovery. Btw what are the difference between the two recoveries?

Too many to list. Most prefer twrp but i would suggest you try both and pick yourself. Easiest root method assuming you use windows is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963812. Once you have root use rom manager to get cwm or goo manager to get twrp. You can flash one recovery from inside the other and all available recoveries can be found here http://goo.im/devs/billard412/Flashable_recovery_US_GS3 in recovery flashable form.
Or here for flashing in odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900492

Well can you tell me how to put a file on my phone without a SD card and flash it without it wiping when I do a wipe before I flash? That's what I don't understand. Am I going to be able to flash roms in cwm or twrp without having a SD card. Like can I put then somewhere on my phones internal memory that won't get erased when I do a wipe to install a new rom.

Your internal storage does not get touched by a wipe in cwm/twrp. Only stock recovery will wipe your storage so just load up the file you intend to flash then factory reset and flash.

TWRP Is alot easier to navigate in my opinion, and a lot easier to download..

So my best bet is use your one click root, then install twrp or cwm via the playstire apps. Then I am free to wipe and flash any rom I want. Place it on my internal memory on my phone and flash away. Sorry just had evo and hero and never had to deal with Odin and some of these things. Thanks for your help
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Well odins not bad and ya the root method i linked you takes about 30 seconds and once you have root you use the apps to gain recovery and find roms. And as guidence so you dont need to worry about wiping your card on accident heres a picture to reference if need be

And if you're not familiar with odin use the attached version of it to make stuff much easier and keep it handy as Odin will be your best friend when you inevitably have that first soft brick

Easier to navigate? CWM has a touch version too. And easier to download? Each has at least one dedicated app to do it with ease. And while twrp has its perks i think it causes problems and there is still too much stuff out there that needs cwm and wont flash right with twrp. Thats why i told the op to try both and not go just based on opinions

Billiard, to root should I go with your one click root or the one in the general sticky thread? I was planning on using the other one so I could get used to Odin but does either have and advantage? They do the same thing right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I could be wrong but i believe the one youre referring too is where u flash a recovery in odin. Pull battery then boot to recovery, and flash a root zip in recovery. Ill double check but i mean the end result will be the same but that method tends to be a PIA with a bunch of extra steps. The one i linked you does all of the work for you. I think its as easy as it gets for someone knew to rooting the s3. Chainfire is a beast
---------- Post added at 06:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------
Ya I just checked I was right. Not talking down on skunkapes method but thats too many steps i think my method is way easier. And with my custom odin i linked above you dont have to worry about checking boxes and what not i modded my version of odin to have only whats needed.

Thanks man. Going to try and do it all tomorrow morning. Will hit u up if I have some questions.

no option to verifiy signature

so basically on my CWM i dont have the option to toggle verification signature nor do i have the option to install from zip.
these are the options i have on my CWM
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from ext. storage
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update cache
this is not my first time rooting, i had a tmobile G2X it was simple to install CWM and root it, no troubles, was able to toggle signature verification but this samsung s3 is giving me problems

Looks to me more like you have stock recovery, not cwm.
Look for /system/install-recovery.sh and delete/ rename it. Then reinstall cwm.

i downloaded the IMG file and when i open up ODIN -> PDA i dont see the file.....i know it suppose to be a tar file how do i convert it?

Sorry. Could've sworn I uploaded the tar format too.
Just archive it into a .tar format, no compression (choose "store").
7zip should do this.

I've tried that before and it never worked because of incorrect permissions.

OP...
There is a much easier way to flash recoveries. Pay attention.
Download recovery img. Image file... Not tar.
Movie file to the root of your SD card internal.
Name file "buckshank.img"
Download terminal emulator from market.
Open terminal emulator.
Type this:
su
dd if=/sdcard/buckshank.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (hit enter... You'll get an output)
Then type:
reboot recovery (enter again)
Profit

I recommend to never use this method. Because typo = brick. It's just not a good idea. It's actually slower to type all that out than it is to drop into recovery or use Mobile ODIN.

It is a simple command, but remember a lot of people who ask for help with this stuff don't even know what terminal emulator is.
It's just best to keep it as simple as possible and continue using things the way they are used to using them.
And don't forget about those who might think they want to experiment with this new command, or try to recommend it to others and get it wrong.
I've seen all sorts!
Also, when a question has been answered already, be careful telling someone to stop and do it your way. It can confuse the person seeking help and depending on how you say it, can easily offend the person who already posted a solution.
(No.I didn't take any offence)

A lot of people who come here wanting to help others started out the same way. You try to help people learn not just the what to do, but the how and why. Unfortunately many don't have any interest in any of that and you can start to feel like your time is wasted. Which leads to no longer enjoying what you came here to do.
That's a big reason why I sometimes to give the shortest and simplest answers I can, and leave it at that. Another is simply due to how much time I have. But if someone wants to know more I am more than happy to share.
Obviously there are a lot of folks here who do not fit this description, and you can sometimes judge by their first or follow up posts if they are interested in more info. Most of them you will start to recognize as regulars and get to know them after a while.

Your othe option would be to use mobile odin from the play store, rename the .img to recovery.img and place in root of internal storage. then choose and flash with mobile odin.

That's true, but when wanting to switch from a stock non rooted rom to a custom rom, it makes it a lot easier and faster if I can simply get CWM and flash a rom instead of having to root the stock rom and then having to go through that process.

Good point. The last few times i have gone from stock to custom, i have used odin to flash a rooted stock. then I move forward from there since cwm .tars have been hard to find. I should have read your post more closely.
