[Q] Need Help with Recovery!!

I have succesfully root my girlfriends slide and gained s-off thru Aplha . but i tried to flash cwm 2.5 thru fastboot like an idiot thinking this was the proper way of permanently flashing new recovery and now cannot get into recovery neither factory with triangle or cwm. How do i fix this or will i have to unroot bascially and start over to get the recovery .img again? Also, who can help with permanently flashing cw recovery so that i do not have to use the update.zip method.?

Did you try to fastboot flash the update.zip? That's not good, you should've flashed the cw2.5 .img file. No, you don't have to reroot or res-off, but download the .img file for the latest clockwork recovery on koush's website, for our device. Then, on your computer, while in fastboot mode and plugged into usb, type
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
obviously replacing filename.img with the actual file name/location.

Clockwork mod recovery issue?

I am new to the whole rooting and flashing roms and kernels. I rooted my epic 4g touch via QBKing77's videos and then followed his video on how to install the clockwork mod recovery with the agat recovery. Then I went to google play and bought ROM manager pro and clicked "flash clock workmod recovery" and it showes that I have the latest version flashed, but when I then go to "boot into recovery" it boots into the clockwork mod recovery but when I try to use my volume buttons to navigate nothing happens. But they work in AGAT recovery? Whats wrong? What should I do?
Thanks

Im having similar issues with CWM. I have premium installed and when I click boot to recovery it goes to a weird android recovery with an android twirling something but there is no option for an image nandroid backup...and when i click on make a backup from the CWM menu it takes me to the same screen but says error and aborts... have the stock root...ff18....i have verified root. I also have odin mobile...it would be nice to be able to just upload whatever i meed from there without having to go thru all this odin stuff...Never had to with my att skyrocket 2

Why did you buy rom manager pro. Rom Manager can not flash recoveries on this phone. Recoveries are packed into the initramfs of our kernel unlike most phones. At best you get a temp flash which by the way has proven to be an unsafe thing.
I am not familiar if anyone has any updated safe repacks with just plain stock cwm. But there are custom recoveries based on it for stock TW roms. CM9 has stock CWM and TWRP though.
I don't think the video told you to buy rom manager pro and or to try and flash recoveries with it. You flash kernels that have recoveries. You can do this with tar's in odin/mobile odin and or if you have custom recovery cwm zips then.

AHHH was about to say i just realized i needed to update the correct kernel in order for it to work...thank you for the lightning quick response tho...

Okay thanks. So i can use the agat recover to wipe caches and install zips?

rooting problem

i am using team win and i did everything in the video but i am rooted but still stock.and when i flash it say failed?

This has been the case since the LG8 update. It has code that will replace the stock recovery if the signature check fails.
You need to follow the Team Epic Root from Recovery method. You flash CWM using Odin but do not reboot. Do a battery pull and boot into CWM. From there you flash the Team Epic Root from Recovery file. This gives you root but also removes the recovery signature check that is replacing the stock recovery.

[Q] Flashing CWM Recovery using Mobile Odin

Hey XDA,
I have a rooted S3 AT&T running stock rom with no recovery. I would like to install CWM Recovery, however I noticed it was an .img file, and Odin can only flash .tar files. So is it possible to use MobileODIN to flash cwm recovery or am I stuck to using the adb code to flash it. I have tried using CWM Rom manager app to flash/install cwm recovery however it is giving me an error ("Error downloading CWM Recovery) whenever I try to download the cwm recovery image from within the app. So will the mobile odin method work???
Thanks in advance XDA!!

Hi, another alternative is to use an app called "Flashify" off the Play Store,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
You can use this to flash recovery images and it has some useful tools, too. I have not used it before, so I can't recommend from experience but it has great reviews off the Play Store. As for the recovery images, you can use this link, find your device and download the latest version of CWM

Again this is all information, and I am in no way, shape, or form responsible for anything and everything that may/may not happen to your device. Hope this helps!

[Q] {Q} HELP!!!

I used a root method on youtube today. SuperUser wouldn't work because the binary wasn't installed. So I tried to reboot and go into recovery, then I backed up and erased the data etc. So it failed on the AOKP rom that i was going to install then it wouldn't let me restore. So using ODIN fastboot i flashed over CWM 5.5.0.4. I think one of the new CWM recoveries has USB Storage Mount but on there website the zips only come in .zip and not .tar so I can use odin to flash it over. When I try to flash the stock ROM (.TAR) (619MB) through odin it fails. Someone please help me
