So i'm having a few issues with ClockwordMod and/or ROM Manager
from within ROM Manager when I hit flash clockworkmod it'll download and give me confirmation of success, but I can't seem to launch it - is it supposed to automatically launch after I enter recovery mode? Was it supposed to change any menu entries after I hit volume up+power?
I ended up downloading clockwordmod as update.zip and running it from sdcard:update.zip
Additionally, Reboot into Recovery from ROM manager doesn't do anything. It asks if i'm sure, I say yes, then nothing happens. QuickBoot however has no problems rebooting straight into the recovery menu though, and I can also do it from ADB. Am I missing something obvious?

Flashing clockworkmod as an update.zip will do no changes to your current recovery.
If you want to replace your current phone's recovery with clockworkmod simply search for unrevoked on these forums.
I have the same problem, it is a bug with ROM manager, you have to give the app superuser permissions before clicking any of the options, so if you were to do this then on your first install of the app click on flash recovery (even if you have it), it will ask for superuser permissions, grant them it and the app will then work fine.
ahh it'd be good if it told you that
next I went into it and went to install superuser but of course you need to have superuser to do that :|
But i'm there now, thanks for your help
Is there a file manager that when selecting, say a .zip file, will automatically boot you into recovery, auto install &/or update & then boot you back into your phone?
I mean not that manually booting into recovery, searching & selecting your file, let it do its thing & then selecting the option to reboot system, is all that hard, I'm just trying to find a process that simplifies all that.
***Update: Okay I installed ROM Manager and when selecting one of my zip files in ES Explorer, I was able to select the file and do as needed. So I guess that answers my question. Unless someone has an another alternative that doesn't require ROM Manager***
I personally wouldn't use rom manager. It has been known to cause bricks with this phone. Especially the fake flash of the touch recovery. It doesn't play well with this phone because if our recovery being baked into the kernels.

Thanks, I did notice that when attempting to install a zipped app via the ES File Explorer/Rom Manager method it did boot into recovery & did in fact say installing, but as soon as the phone rebooted I could not locate the supposed installed app. I had to do it again, which defeats the purpose of being an "faster/easier" method.
On the sticky thread there is a link for cwm thread, however I'm not quite sure which filesystem to choose, I'm going to install through recovery, seems safer for me. I want to install cwm for 2 purposes, first I'm planning to backup my stock rom so that I can always flash it back if I need my warranty and second I'm planning to flash cm9 to my phone. I'm not quite sure what is the diffrence between rfs and ext4 is Currently I'm on 2.2.1 stock rom.
Actually I found the proper version of CWM to install here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414173
But I can't apply it, when I enter recovery mode the options I have are:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe chace parition
Pheraps I should rename the zip file I downloaded to update.zip? I can't select any other zip from the sd card and if I press "apply sdcard:update.zip" it searches for update.zip and fails to find it.

I flashed it but I can't seem to be able to enter to recovery now, power+home buttons just keep me on the samsung logo (not the flashing one, the first one) my phone works but just can't enter to recovery. When I flashed it, it seemed to work, but I don't know why I can't enter
Mates you have to help me!!! I ordered an order to reboot into recovery from rom manager and my device doesn't start now, I know it was stupid but I'm not sure what to do now, I can get it to download mode and to the first samsung logo but not past it

First you have to root and format to ext4, before installing CWM.
Download mode, remove battery, insert battery, press power, home, volume down, at the same time.

Hey guys im trying to root my device so i can install some lightweight custom roms. Ive been following this guide i found online
http://androidcritics.com/how-to-root-and-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-galaxy-s3-i747/
I basically did this
Installing Clockwork Recovery Mod
Find the recovery image file which is clockworkmod.tar
On your Samsung Galaxy S3 I747, press and hold down the volume down, power, and home buttons
Once your at the warning screen, press volume up to accept
Launch the Odin program from your computer
In Odin, find the PDA tab and click it
Find the clockworkmod.tar.md5 file in the unzipped recovery image file
Press start to begin flashing the recovery mod
BE PATIENT! and wait until your device reboots
Once your device has fully rebooted, you can start installing root
It loaded on the phone fine. I then did this
Installing Root
Transfer the root.zip file onto your phone from your computer
Make sure you connect your s3 to your computer and find the root zip file and put it in your downloads folder.
Enter clockwork recover mod by holding down the volume up, power, and home buttons
Navigate by using the volume buttons to Install Zip > Choose Zip from Internal SD card > Navigate to the downloads folder> Select
Be Patient! and wait until your device is finished
Once the process is finished, you can select Reboot
Once your device has rebooted, launch the Google Play Store app
Search “SuperuserSU” and select the first app that shows in the search results
Install this app
Once it has finished installing, your done!
The only problem is I cant navigate to the option "install zip from internal sd card" I simply dont have though's options here is what I have when hold volume up reset and home
"reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage (which i dont have)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
When i hit apply update from ADB it says "now send the package you want to apply to the device with "adb sideload <filename>"...
Im wondering if the original flash didnt go thru? Why dont I have the options that I should?
Any help would mean the world trying to get this puppy up asap!
regards,
Eddy

Sounds like the root method you are using is just way to complicated. Follow this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 it has prerooted firmwares that you just install with odin and you are done (cwm included).

Beauty I think its flashing the rogers rom to my phone from there Im good to load other roms using this odin tool? (or is it rom manager?)
also what is this clockwork mod ? I might as well go into play store and get both rom manager and clockwork?

So After I flashed the new rom to my phone i left it plugged in and it restarted. Android loader popped on and now it says android is upgrading... starting apps. Its been like this for over a half an hour... what do i do??? helpppp dont really want to reset it but it is bricked? or do i have to reload ?
update:
held the restart button down it restarted bit is still stuck on starting apps.
update two:
held vol down home and reset tried to reload the rogers rom onto the phone and now it stops at samsung load screen. Do i have to reload the carrier that came with the phone? I cant quite remember what the original carrier was.
UPDATE THREE:
I as able to boot back into the phone but...nothing changed? i ended up wiping the phones data in settings because its too full as it is. I downloaded root checker and it said access was denied ? That makes its not rooted after all... I followed the directions seems that they didnt take? Any clues?

Okay buddy looks like you need to learn some basic android 101
You are definitely not ready to root or do anything til you learn this stuff...
Okay, so first is recoveries. Basically recoveries are a bit of software that let's you flash ROMs, kernels, and whatever else to your phone. When you hold volume up and power when your phone is off, you boot to recovery. Now basically recoveries are necessary because when you are flashing a new ROM it essentially deletes the android system from your phone first so this is a way of your phone still working between flashes.
Clockworkmod is a custom recovery with a lot of features meant for flashing ROMs. There are competitors such as TWRP (team win recovery project) but clockworkmod is a great starter. Use videos or tutorials on how to use it before you flash your first ROM. I can not stress how often you need to read read and read some more.
Okay so rooting your phone. Basically there is a "root" directory of your phone. Its where all the system files are stored and it let's you do a lot of stuff, but it also means you can screw a lot of stuff up to (like really screw it up). On default you are locked out of here by the maker of your phone for various reasons. Rooting means that someone found an exploit to gain access to this folder. Usually what you then do is you find a way to inject superuser (a little app that gives root access to other apps later on). You use Odin in this case to install a stock Samsung rom (with superuser already put in the root directory of that modified ROM its installing) essentially this means you have root. Root allows you to install recoveries like clockworkmod (which you need to flash ROMs later.
Okay so that was my quick run through. At your point you need to go to YouTube and Google how to root the sgs3 and hopefully they should have one for your specific carrier. The process should be the same minus the files you flash. Essentially you should be looking for stock ROM (for your specific device) with superuser or supersu already installed. Then you should be finding a way to install clockworkmod once you have root. (You may be able to find a file or tutorial that does this in one go). I cannot emphasise enough about reading. You wouldn't be here had you read first and in the flashing business, if you don't want a sgs3 paper weight you should read first.
Oh and ROMmanager from the marketplace installs clockworkmod for you (ONCE YOU HAVE ROOT) its simple. Just download it from the play story. Click flash recovery. It will load a bit and your done. Then you can reboot into it. ROM manager (the paid version is unnecessary) it just adds extra features you don't yet need. Look at it once you have flashed your first few ROMs.
Best of luck. Let me know and slap that thanks button. I wrote this on my phone.

Hi eddy,
It sounds like you didn't get CWM to stick after your flash with ODIN. You need to uncheck the reboot option in odin and then after the flash is done pull the battery and go directly into CWM loader by booting with the volume up + power + home button method. This will give you cwm rather than the stock loader you seem to be trying to use. You're almost there!

I think he can't install the superuser.zip from cwm after boot because he's allowing the stock rom to overwrite his cwm flash ... he's gotta pull his battery after the odin flash to get root in. That's what worked for me. once he's got root he can use rom manager to upgrade to cwm 6.x

He shouldn't need cwm to install. If flashes a firmware with root already injected he can then just use rom manager to install clockworkmod for the first time since rom manager just needs root which he will have. You can root and keep the stock recovery on at the same time
I think his biggest issue is root not sticking. Til he does that cwm wont install
Hi All,
As I'm sure you're aware, there was a new Ouya update yesterday (Jackalope), and its stopped the Mod a Collection working?! Here's what I did and what I get now.
My Ouya was rooted, I had installed the Goole Play store using the Mod Collection and Xposed installer. When I turned my Ouya on last night, it automatically starting to download the latest update, even though I set 'Do Not Auto Update' in the Mod Collection. However, when it was trying to download, after a while it rebooted itself and tried again, when it finally downloaded the update, it rebooted and asked me to Click Ok to install the update. So I did, and it got about half way through and went straight to the black screen with OUYA in the middle, and a red Exclamation mark underneath it.
This process went round and round for about half an hour. I searched and saw that lots of people had this with previous updates. So to fix it, I factory reset the box, and it downloaded and went straight through no problems, great!
I then started to download all of my side loaded apps via my Dropbox, such as Xposed installer, Mod Collection, Rootmyouya etc etc, so I could get the play store re-installed.
However, when I went to root the box, it was already showing at Rooted, which I thought was strange, as I've read that updates un-rooted the device?! I thought nothing of it, however, when I went to install the Mod Collection APK, it installed and when I went to open it, it gave me an error at the bottom of the screen, something along the lines of 'could not access android/apps/whitelist' and immediately closed?!!
This is really frustrating as I want to put the Play Store back on, but without the Mod Collection I'm stuck! Xposed installer seems to be ok though.
Any one with any ideas, or having the same problem after the Jackalope update?
This update has also caused another annoying issue, I'm using the Mele F10 Pro remote for the Ouya Menu and XBMC, no problems up till now, after the update the 'home' button on the remote in the ouya menus now does nothing, and when in XBMC it does nothing, however, what was the Context Menu button on the remote for XBMC (the button next to the home button), is now the 'back' button' in XBMC?!!
Help?
Cheers

Adb push or simply copy the zip file to the root of your Ouya's sdcard. Then reboot to CWM recovery (adb reboot recovery) and select "install zip from sdcard".
We are OUYA FREE and one of our contributors BillMan came up with this step by step allowing you to update without having to wipe your entire system then download the factory image this allows you to install the update while rooted. a quick reminder always reboot and try again anymore questions were always here to help. thanks again goes to BillMan for creating the step-by-step shown below:

Thanks.
If your Ouya is trying to auto update Try to go to Make, if you can't, restart and try again, you can also try to skip to step: #
1)Go to Make
2)Go to SuperUser
3)Click Play
4)Highlight Xposed Installer (If not listed, you can move on to step 6)
5)Click trash can in upper right corner of screen and Xposed Installer should be removed.
6)Click A button on controller to go back all the way to main menu.
7) If not auto updating on it's own, go to Manage
8)System
9)System Updates
10Start installing the update
11) Super User will come up after installing update, Click on Deny
Make sure to do this otherwise you will have to restart the process over again and it is hard to start with step 1, could result in several restarts and fast clicking until you get it.
12)Once system reboots, go to Make
13)Root My Ouya by Wonder Ekin
14) Click Play
15) Super User may come up, if so, click Allow
16) Should say Rooted, I clicked Start Root and had it do it again just to be safe, you shouldn't have to however. But it hurts nothing to click Start Root anyways
17)Click A twice
18)Click on Xposed Installer
19)Click Play
20) Go to Modules
21) Make sure Check mark is selected in upper left corner of screen
22) Click on Install/Update

Ok so I did this the ghetto way and it worked for me.
Saw the update trying to update let it do its thing then press ok. Reboots into CWM 6.0.3.2 then let it go through untill it states the firmware is not md5 matched of something like that, then I go to top screen and scroll down to Yes Install Zip. Presto takes it boots into Jackalope with the changelog on first screen. I am still rooted and all my apps intact. Only thing I had to reinstall was [MOD][XPOSED]Mod Collection For Ouya(Play Store, Moga Controller Emu) (11202013) for CWM to reinstall because I was getting a this exclamation mark in red! when I loaded back to CWM, lost custome recovery. Once installed CWM I rechecked root was still good I have all my apps intact and no need to wipe and start all over. Have not checked for side load games has I have not hooked this up yet, but my apps work. Hope this helps others save time. Once I updated did full backup again.
don't know what the big deal to start from scratch at least for this update?
