[MOD] EZ Clockwork 2.5.1.2 Install>Easily flash to 2.5.1.2 to flash old mods/themes
THIS IS FOR THE MT4G/Glacier UPDATED 04/22/2011
The primary use for this mod is to be able to easily switch between CWM Recovery 3.0.2.4, 3.0.0.6, 2.5.1.2 and the MT4G/Glaciers stock recovery.(Thanks to Amac1222 for the idea of adding the stock recovery to this)
In order to flash a rom or mod you must be rooted and running a recovery other than stock. With this zip, you can install CWM 2.5.1.2 so that some of the older scripted mods/themes will work. This zip also still includes CWM 3.0.0.6 and the stock recovery for anyone that wants to run those recoveries for some reason.
Using this Mod/Method you can switch between the latest version of CwM 3.0.2.4, 3.0.0.6, 2.5.1.2 or the stock recovery with the push of a couple buttons(you cant flash things from the stock recovery).
This zip does not modify Rom Manager in any way but only places the both CwM v3.0.0.6, v2.5.1.2 and the stock 2.2.1 recovery image in the correct spot on your sd card and renames it in order for it to be flashed using Rom Manager.
Instructions for use
Make sure you have the newest Rom Manager installed. This is included in most roms but can be found in the market also. The free version works fine..
Download the zip at the bottom of this post and place it on your sd card.
Open Rom Manager and choose "Reboot into Recovery"
From recovery flash/install the zip file you placed on your sdcard.(If you downloaded straight to your phone you will need to go into the download folder first and then) choose "Recovery_2.5.1.2_to_RomManager.zip" and install it. No need to wipe anything.
Now reboot your phone and then go back into Rom Manager and go to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" This is where you flash the recoveries from.
To flash CwM 2.5.1.2 recovery just choose the option for 2.5.1.4
To flash CwM 3.0.0.6 recovery just choose the option for 3.0.0.5
To flash the stock recovery just choose the option for 2.5.1.3
Rom Manger will not show the correct matching "Current Recovery #" after using this. ie: It will say 2.5.1.4 in Rom Manager but if you boot into recovery it should be 2.5.1.2
You can now boot into recovery. (If you chose the 2.5.1.3 option hold volume up and power button at same from the red triangle screen to enter the stock recovery)
You should now see the new recovery.
CWM 2.5.1.2 Recovery has GREEN text
CWM 3.0.0.6 Recovery has ORANGE text
Stock Recovery has BLUE text
Keep in mind that you can switch recoveries easily in order to do things like flash that quick mod that has a old script. Just dont forget to flash back to the correct recovery when you try to flash a rom again.
Please hit the "THANKS" button if you are using this and want to show your gratitude.

MT4G BUTTON MODS___ EZ ADB/FASTBOOT SETUP ___GENIUS BUTTON FOR CM7​

Thanks for staying so on top of keeping this updated Drew! This is definitely the most user-friendly and accessible method for the newbies. You should email the developer of ROM manager to see if they can build in an option for Clockwork 3.

This is exactly what I was going to ask CM7 thread. Die looking for the stock recovery to re-calibrate my battery. BIG THANKS!!!

I dont think it will be added into Rom Manager anytime soon but I could be wrong. Our phone is one of only 4 or 5 phones that require a different recovery to run Gingerbread so most phones dont have this issue. Until most all of the roms require 3.0.0.5 type of recovery to flash, I just dont see it happening. I think Koush is far to busy with other things right now.

Awesome work, Drew, downloading now. I had just received my millionth MT4G replacement (yes, I am searching for the highly elusive perfect MT4G), and was attempting to get it set up for CM7 over the weekend, and although I had used your method before and was able to get it working, this time it wouldn't work, and I finally got it working through procedure 3 on the other thread, I believe, by Phateless. Hitting the thanks button now, and I appreciate your keeping on top of things. Cheers =)

I appreciate the thanks and I'm glad its working again. I just found out the other one had stopped working last night and I couldnt edit the post with the fix since the thread it was in had been closed. At least now if we run into any more issues everyone has a place to post and let me know.
Good luck finding the MT4G for you. I got lucky, mine is as close to flawless as I think I can get. Good screen, can OC to max with no probs. My back button does creek sometimes ever so slightly but I do push it like 20 times more than any other button so I can live with that.
Thanks again for using this mod!!

You only would need to change the recovery if you want to flash a rom that isnt compatable with the recovery that you are currantly running,
For example if you are running a rom like Ice Glacier and Clockwork recovery 2.5.1.2 and you want to install CM7. You cant do it without flashing ClockworkMod 3.0.0.5 first. Same thing if you are running CM7 and Clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 and want to install a Froyo Rom you must flash back to 2.5.1.2 before installing the rom.
You can do both of those things from Rom Manager by following the instructions in the first post.
Once you have installed the zip you should not have to install it again. It places the recovery images on your SD card so they shouldnt get erased when you flash a different rom.

just kidding on the download link being broken, awesome job it works great!

Thank you so so so muccch!!!! It worked like a charm. But wow to think I was putting up with ice glacier cuz the process of going to cwm3 just seemed so inconvenient, boy did you make things easy.
And wow cm7 is the ishhh. I can't believe how smooth and fast everything is. And its like customization galore. Again thank you so much.

Great idea putting the stock recovery also - thanks. That makes it much easier to deal with if there is a need to convert back to stock to return a phone under warranty.
I could not see how I had gotten the ROM Manager update however, as I had never seen it coming through a market update. Then I recalled it comes with the newer Builds, so apparently the new Manager one is in them now.
Update - Installed this on another MT4G I got for a Family Plan member ($49.95 with two year extension). I had it flash CMW 2.xxx, went into recovery (green), and then booted back up. Open modified ROM manager, flashed back to "2,5.1.1" and booted back into recovery.
Got the (usually) dreaded red triangle, and then vol up/power button - and there was the old stock recovery in all its blue glory!
Going to leave it that way for now unless I need to flash some more zip files before I ship it off (recipient is 2600 miles away). I don't want to have to deal with the boot-up to recovery when connecting to the charger when device is off issue.
Again - great work

TrueBlue - I think this note might be useful to add to your guide. As a noob to all of this i didn't know you need to press VOLUME UP and then POWER in order to get into stock recovery the first time i did it. It scared the crap out of me and i thought i bricked my phone!
So it might be helpful for people who are doing it for the first time to know that the phone and hazard sign are expected.

As long as you stay on a Gingerbread ROM you don't need to reflash recovery. If you go back to a Froyo ROM then you need to reflash Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.2, which can be done through ROM Manager.

He asked if he needed to flash the recovery ZIP when he flashes a new rom.The answer to his question is NO. He did not ask if he needs to flash a new recovery. If he wants to flash a different rom then, yes he needs to make sure he is using the correct recovery for the Rom he is flashing.

I am not responsible for your device
This is only for the t-mobile t989 galaxy s2 hercules
do not use any other galaxy s2 models because it will brick your device
you can flash skyrocket ROMs and kernels with CWM, but I suggest you research more before attempting anything.
HOW TO ROOT
FOR 2.3.5 ONLY
you can use the Superoneclick to gain root access.
To flash ROMS and Kernels
Please refer to AllGamer's thread oh how to obtain Clockworkmod Recovery if you want to flash ROMs
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103
But basically...
After getting root access
1. download ROM manager from the market
2. select Flash Clockworkmod recovery
FOR 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, and 4.0.4
What you need:
SAMSUNG USB Drivers OR Mirror
ODIN
RECOVERY
SUPERUSER WITH BUSYBOX
Instructions
USB debugging should be on.
1. Install the Samsung Drivers and ODIN
2. Plug in your phone to the PC allow everything to be installed. Do not interrupt until everything is finished installing. It should be like 5 things
3. Unplug your phone and power off your device.
4. Go into ODIN/DOWNLOAD mode
With the device off. Hold the + and - Volume buttons (telus only -) and stick the data cable into your phone. Hit Vol + to confirm into DOWNLOAD MODE
5. Launch ODIN (Your device should be detected under COM)

Power off the phone and hold Vol + and - and Power. Let go of Power once it vibrates until you're in recovery.
You can now Flash any ROMS that will give you ROOT access, but if you want to stay stock...
To gain Root, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 4.0.3, and 4.0.4
1. Launch CWM Recovery
2. Select Install zip from sdcard
UPDATE: there has been reports that 3.1.3 doesn't play nice with GB 2.3.5/6 so flash 3.0.7 that i have attached.
3. choose CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2.zip
or
3. choose a custom ROM of your choice in the android development section.
You now have Superuser Root Access
Troubleshoot when flashing superuser
If it aborts or gives you some error (usually for 2.3.6)
Don't worry, just flash a couple more times until it is successful OR you can reboot the phone and check your app drawer for the SUPERUSER app.
If Superuser does not flash no matter what.. I suggest just flashing a rooted and deodexed stock ROM or one of the many Custom ROMS by our great debs
ODIN back to STOCK ROM/Unrooting
This is completely factory stock ROM, Stock kernels and stock recovery.

let me know if I need to correct anything or if there are anymore troubleshooting I can add.

If you hold vol +, - and the power button without letting go, your phone will keep vibrating and rebooting... And you wont get into recovery.
What you are really supposed to do is hold vol + & - without letting go, then press and hold the power button for aprox 2 seconds untill the phone vibrates. Then RELEASE the power button while holding vol + & - to enter recovery.
You may want to update your op.

Thanks updated, I usually release power too once it vibrates, but I remember reading someone's problem about when to release or something that confused me. Didn't realize that holding all 3 was a hard reset lol.
Eh all the ROMs we use have the recovery option, hard to remember these small details lol

The linked superuser file is for Android 1.6, which is why titanium backup doesn't work. I ended up using the SU 3.0.5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311194 and root worked.

Yes but it is meant to be installed on android 1.6. In the recovery when I flashed it said su for Android 1.6

hey guys a couple noob questions i only ask because i really dont wanna brick my bros new phone.
1. after i flash recovery through odin instructions say i can flash ANY rom correct?
or is it just certain roms?
2. is it necessary to reboot, flash SU and then go into recovery to flash a rom?
3. also which rom would you guys recommend? least buggy/glitchy and best performance?

Flash Counter
Hey I have a question with using the ODIN method. I was keeping up with the portal and was concerned with the Flash counter on all Galaxy S devices.
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/root-the-galaxy-note-without-increasing-the-flash-counter/
Do you know if flashing CWR through ODIN will increase the flash counter on my T989 or am I safe to go ahead and do the flash? I have a 2.3.6 version so I must use ODIN.

CWM doesn't increase the flash counter from what I remember, mine is still 0, but probably if you flash a stock rom then it will go up by 1. not sure.

1. you can FLASH ANY T989 or i727 roms AKA hercules and skyrocket, aka t-mobile/telus gs2 and att skyrocket
2. if you're planning to flash a rom, you don't need to flash SU, just flash CWM and then flash ROM in CWM recovery
3. It's all user preference, Comparing roms is shunned upon because it demoralizes other devs by making their ROMs feel inferior, but I can say that off that bat most flash Juggernaut because of the views and replies. It's a great ROM
Darkside is probably the best stock looking ROM which I am using
Tuesday ROM has a Purple theme and also a great rom
Eugene ROM is also cool check it out
There are other ROMs i didn't get to use but from what I hear they're all DD worthy

Oh Oh
OK so did all of the instructions as indicated and i can get into CWM but when i do it keeps blinking and i can scroll up and down but when i select install.zip it does nothing. and yes i reflashed 5 times... any ideas?

[Q] CM9 alpha 4 upgrade issue

I downloaded the .zip file for the upgrade from alpha3 to alpha4 off CM's website, put it on my SDCARD, booted into recovery - looks like stock recovery, (following the steps on CM website) then applied the zip -> it looks like its doing something for about 20 seconds then the little android guy dies and has a red triangle with an exclamation point coming out his stomach. What am I doing wrong?
baseband version: FE10
Kernel Version: 3.0.15-SPH-D710.FD10-CL377892

You need to be using a clockwork mod recovery to flash, stock recovery will not work.
First make sure you are rooted.
Next use either Odin 1.85 or Mobile Odin to flash the EL26 kernel.
Upon reboot, go into recovery mode using volume up+power. If you miss your chance to do so, just pull the battery and try to get into recovery again.
Using CWM, flash per the install instructions.

so do i just odin the kernel back to el26 w/ CWM? the reason i dont want to do a clean install is because i wodnt want to wipe my data. If i odin to EL26 w/ CWM do i need to go back to gingerbread?? Or is there a way i can sat on ICS and upgrade?
what if i used this kernel? [NEW][KERNEL] FE16 Repack with ACS recovery

Do exactly what he said here... You're not going back to GB or wiping data. You're just re-flashing a CWM recovery. When you originally installed CM9 alpha 3, you used a CWM recovery. But the CM9 ROM re-flashes a stock recovery (which you can not use to upgrade from alpha3 to alpha4).
So all you do is Odin the EL26 kernel/CWM recovery image (phone in Download mode), and then you reboot and hold vol+ and power to get the phone into the CWM Recovery Mode. From there, you just install the CM9 alpha4, you don't wipe data or lose anything.

thanks man, it worked.

I am new to the forums and didn't want to make a new thread. I am having issues with the GPS (Maps App.) The app loads up i enter the destination i want to go to but it wont find my location where i am at. It just keeps searching for my location...

[Q] Help installed battery mod and loop?

Please bring me back. I installed CM9 pre5 but forgot to update kernel to get CMW with 3 fingers and now I installed battery mod beta4 and phone justs loops.
I made a backup when I updated before installing battery mod but I don't know how to get phone back into clockwork mod since i didn't install kernel for it after CM9 update.
I need instructions to get phone back up please save me.
Thanks for your fast input...

The Cm9 update includes the kernel. Just three finger boot into recovery.

Great but what if?
wow that was fast and accurate, many Thank You Zeinzu. I did not know it had CWM on CM9 thinking you had to flash kernels like nyan 5 or shadow cm9 6.3.3 to get it to work.
If by any chance that 3 finger didn't work I would need to use odin to:
via ODIN
1.To begin, download the CWM 5.0.2.7 tar file from the link above.
2.Run ODIN and make sure Re-Partition is unchecked.
3.Click PDA and choose the recovery you downloaded.
4.Boot your phone into Download Mode. (Power it off and holding down the 1 key on the keyboard, press the Power button.)
5.Connect the device to your PC and once you see it connected in ODIN, hit the Start button to begin the flashing process.
6.Once the recovery is flashed, the phone will reboot
does F.Reset Time checkboxes need to be selected?
or
odin back to OFFICIAL SPH-D700-FC09-8Gb-REL.tar then I need to root it again? lost here never had to go back so just wanted to know from the Pro's...

Nooooo!!! Once on mtd (cm9 is mtd) do not flash another recovery.... there Is no flashable or .tar for cwm for mtd roms.. cm9 installed the recovery you should stick with (there is a touch recovery, but its buggy imo)
If you cantget to the recovery you will need the fc09 with victory.pit wth repartition an auto reboot checked...

Thank You Flashnoles you also saved me from bricking my phone.
I got confused into thinking I needed to install extra kernals on CM9 to get CMW but I followed Zeinzu advice and was saved. I was just about to odin a CMW.tar when I had my doubts and decided to ask the kind m8's of XDA.
Does CM9 stock kernal have the 3 Button Reboot or you only get that with Nyan Colonel v5 or ShadowKernel CM9 v0.6.3.3 because I try to do a fast reboot but keep getting volume going up or down?
I noticed when I installed the Nyan Colonel v5 it installed TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) instead of CMW but I reverted back using restore-cwm.zip. Is this the "touch recovery" you were reffering to because I also found it buggy and was not confident using it for Recovery and tools?
So If a new CMW version pops up the only way to get it is to odin back to stock BML to install it then use Restore in CMW to get back to your saved Rom?
Could I use epic4g-fc09-sdcard-utility-v3.tar to temp bypass MTD and install CMW updates?
Thank You again both for your advice and great responses...

Thank You Flashnoles you also saved me from bricking my phone.
I got confused into thinking I needed to install extra kernals on CM9 to get CMW but I followed Zeinzu advice and was saved. I was just about to odin a CMW.tar when I had my doubts and decided to ask the kind m8's of XDA.
Does CM9 stock kernal have the 3 Button Reboot or you only get that with Nyan Colonel v5 or ShadowKernel CM9 v0.6.3.3 because I try to do a fast reboot but keep getting volume going up or down?

MTD uses a completely different recovery. The recovery is overwritten whenever you flash a rom or kernel. When thee is a new recovery, you will automatically get it when you update cm9.

White screen after improper flashing

Hi Guys
My stupid friend wanted to flash his Gio (Gingerbread 2.3.4). He rebooted to recovery, flashed update.zip (root zip), and after that, without rebooting, he flashed (maybe rather he wanted to flash ) CM9.
Now he got a white screen after pushing power button. Nothing more happens. Recovery works (Home+Power combination). What to do?
Reflash original rom with Odin?

Any tutorial?
Here's something

But:
"Flash a recovery with your specific filesystem (EXT4 or RFS)-(If you have EXT4, download ext4 only, don't get ext4+rfs)"
Recovery in this phone works fine.
Maybe there's a way to re-flash phone using this recovery?

download this rom and flash it with recovery remember to use px recovery link for it mirror.phiexz.com/
rom thread it is based on stock rom but extremely fast link forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683638
