You need Odin installed on your PC, and this file I have attached. Turn your phone off, hold down both volume buttons and hook up the USB cable which is already connected to the machine running Odin. Open Odin, and select PDA, find the file you downloaded from this post and select it. Now click start in Odin & violla !
Ahh k will it wipe my data. The reason I asked is since i'm rooted with a stock ROM with clockwork recovery installed,.will I still get ota's.

No it won't wipe your data.
As far as OTAs go, it has to be stock everything.
seems to be stuck and setup connection, does it take a long time?

According to someone no you can't. You need stock recovery to get OTA.
You can flash back to stock recovery by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319830

CWM won't backup rom

I've been trying to backup via CWM but it starts and then it stops and goes to the menu.
Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, do you know the cause of the problem?

Maybe I will have to give this a try since I'm having so many problems with CWM recovery...it's kind of weird for this to happen all of a sudden

Nandroid Restore Loses Root Write Permissions

Hello,
Noob here. I've run into this issue with my Nandroid restores where I suddenly lose write permissions. I can still read, but if I try to write anything to the root, I get a insufficient permissions error.
Using CWM 5.0.2.6
SuperSU v.0.87
Clean Stock ICS from KIES
Odin 1.85 Flash CWM
Backup
Root w/ SuperSU v.0.87
Success.
Spend hours upon hours making it perfect V1
Backup Perfect V1
Spend hours upon hours perfecting perfection...
Which leads to imperfection(Deleted necessary System File)
Restore Perfect V1
Write access lost.
Is there a way I can regain the root somehow without a clean install?
Thank you in Advance.
I believe this is a known issue when restoring nandroid back ups. Your only recourse is to reflash the rom and start over.

I just posted this yesterday...use touch recovery and it will work...i went through a lot trying to get this to work yesterday...i thought it was the device management doing it..so after i restored before booting i pulled my Sim and then booted phone froze dm then rebooted with Sim...but once you notice no rw it's to later and you have to start from the backup again...I've used both touch recoveries and they work fine...but cwm 2.6 and 2.7 don't work they also cause my phone to hang when turning off....but this will only work if the backup is right to begin with...

TWRP backup

Just wondering if TWRP will recognize my nan backup if I rename it. Thanks

There in an option in twrp that allows you to name the backup whatever you'd like to before backing up

He CLEARLY stated in the TWRP thread that if you have a nandroid back up with CWM you will NEED to redo your back ups. so i would think that if he made a point to ask people to do that, that the current CWM back ups you have most likely will not work<<<
unless you simple talking about renaming a TWRP back up

only one way to make sure, but i think as long as there are no spaces you should be able to do that......i have never tried though, i have not actually needed to use one of my back ups in SOOO long.
