[Q] Cannot enter CWM recovery? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Of course, I finally have a rainy day here with nothing to do so I decide to root my AT&T S3. I can't even get past the first step of installing CWM. It installs correctly, all green, passed etc. But when I try to enter CWM recovery, it just boots normally? Ugh...this is a pain. Any fixes for this??

Volume up + power + home button? Is that the combo you're using to get into cwm?

much easier, open up terminal. & all you have to do is type in "reboot recovery" but without the quotations and it'll do the job!

Install terminal emulator from play store. Open the terminal emulator and then type 'su' without quotes and hit space bar then press enter. Now type 'reboot recovery' without quotes and hit enter.

yes, i have
Put cwmod on the root of your sd card. Download terminal emulator from the market. In terminal emulator type
su
press enter
then type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofrecovery.img
press enter
Replace nameofrecovery with whatever the name of the file is.
When you reboot into recovery it should be cwm 3.0.0.5 (should be amber font)

it shows file not found, even when i write the name of the file.
From the htc stock rom, you need to do it from your pc using fastboot. It won't work with terminal emulator.
Which rom are you running?
Do you have adb installed on your pc?
If you have fastboot, put the recovery.img in the tools folder of your sdk, start up your phone to the bootloader, connect your phone with the usb cable then open a command promt, navigate to the tools folder and type
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Press enter then type
fastboot reboot
Should take aboot 5 seconds

Try using adb shell from your command prompt then use the same commands you used in terminal emulator.

i think so, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 i used that tut. is it so many different S-OFF's ?
Ok, with that s off method you can't use fastboot commands. Did you try the commands in adb shell?

if you mean the commands that is written in cmd, then i have already tried it, and it failed.
In the command prompt, navigate to your sdk then type
Adb devices
Press enter
Your device's serial number should show
Then type
Adb shell
Press enter
If you get a $ type su then press enter
Then enter the same commands you used in terminal emulator
Why do you want cwm 3? It's generally only for 2.3 roms.

I just installed it now thats why i want it, but do you know how i get back to the older cwm? do i just flash it in ROM manager?
Excellent. What worked finally?
To go back to an older version use rom manager or the use same way you upgraded.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You could try this, i haven't tried it myself so don't know if it works, but read it somewhere here on xda.
Go to this path with any file manager.
/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries
And copy that file to another folder. Then copy the name of that recovery (2.x.x.x) and then rename your 3.0.0.5 recovery with the old recovery name and just copy the new (2.x.x.x) to this path. (Just say yes to overwriting the file).
/mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries
Then reboot and then boot into recovery and that should have changed the cwm from old to new. The color should be orange now and not green, if still green it didn't work.
If it doesn't work just restore the old recovery .img you've copied earlier (2.x.x.x).

Not Permited! Error in Terminal Emulator

When I go into my terminal emulator and run su to get superuser permissions it goes through fine. After getting SU permissions I type reboot recovery and terminal emulator comes back with "not permited!" error. I am running NB 2.15 ROM. Any idea why this error is popping up? Thanks!
Because reboot recovery isn't a command....Its only and adb command, not, you can use adb on term emu

What about just "reboot" ? That doesn't work either and I thought that was a terminal emulator command.
Its a rom issue these commands dont work well w/ the espresso roms last time i checked, they work in cyanogen though

edit: and yes reboot recovery is a command, i tried it in terminal emulator and it rebooted the phone to recovery

Adb

Please could someone help me in using Adb to allow me to transfer more files on the sd card without root? I don't know how to do it and would appreciate if someone could explain it to me.
Thanks

If you open the start menu on your computer and right click computer, click properties you should go to some menu and in the top left it will say device manager I think, then you will go to another menu search for other devices or your phones name which should be something like don't Ericson 4.0.A.2.... etc. Something beginning with 4 and has dots a zero and A. Lol

Sorry but that wasn't even relevant.... to use adb you need android sdk.
move apps to sd? command is
adb shell
setinstall location or something like that.
move files to sd is
adb push filename /sdcard
thank me if I helped.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
adb shell
pm setInstallLocation 2
reboot
I would thank, but it seems that I still don't understand. I ain't very deep into Android-know a few basics but I'll need a lot more than that to help me (no offence intended). Thank you

download the android sdk or a adb package.
extract/install the package/sdk
download adb via the sdkmanager if using the sdk
then load adb.exe via cmd e.g shift + right click - open command window here.
type 'adb shell'
(make sure usb debuggin is on on the phone and usb plugged in.)
then type 'pm setInstallLocation 2'
then type 'reboot'
then type 'exit'
all without quotes.
Still sounds so complex! Lol, will try though. Thanks

It has to be in lowercase. If its capital to get it lower case is open terminal then exit it then hit the search button and wait for the keyboard to pop up. After it pops up go back to terminal and the keyboard should be lowercase

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery Update not working?

So I'm running the stock root injected ROM from xda, and I went ahead and flashed an old image of ClockworkMod Recovery (ver. 5.0.2.1) and I downloaded the most recent one from the website, but I'm not entirely sure how to update it - using the android terminal emulator. Anyone got any suggestions?
Just use the ROM Manager App. It'll download and flash it for you.
Download your version of cwm there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
Download terminal emulator from the play store. Run the terminal
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Type everything right. If you typo the 0 and 18 wrong, you get a brick.
I did this on my phone to install cwm touch without any issues
