has cwm changed its icon - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

hello today i rooted with ,root 66 tar. and odin and when i went to make my backup it showed an android as normal but soon showed the same android on his back with his trap door of his belly open and a little red triangle above the door and i freaked a bit so i just rebooted out to startup without backing up and ,am a bit afraid to even go back in to it again. Is this normal theres no warning or anything it just doesnt look like it has when ive used clock work mod before and i think its an exclmation point

You must have forgotten to install a custom recovery. The Android on his back is stock recovery. Can't make a backup with that.

ok i get that im a duh lol
can i just flash one now or are there steps to it info would be helpful please ... thank you :good:

It's cool man. No worries.
I use TWRP, so if you want that, just go into the market and get GooManager. Install it and then open. Hit install recovery and it will download a BLOB and install it and then reboot to recovery all on it's own. Easy peezy.
Or you can go to Doc's page stickied in the Dev section and get CWR or TWRP Odin-ables or flashables, if you like.

If you don't want twrp and want cwm, download ROM manager from the market and follow the prompts

Clockwork Recovery for the Continuum

THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED!!! USE AT YOUR OWN PERIL!!! Update: So far i have it working for DJ20 users. Still fighting it with some DL17 users. Make Odin files first!!!
Hey folks,
Jt1134 (awesome Samsung Fascinate dev) and I were discussing the current plight of the Samsung Continuum. Looking over things, it looks like we can make clockwork recovery work for you guys. Please note, I DO NOT have a Samsung Continuum, so I cannot test this procedure. IT IS ESSENTIAL that someone makes ODIN images PRIOR to this! While it should work, lets be safe, folks.
Once again, let me repeat, I do not have a Continuum to test this, so make sure you have proven, tested Odin images at your disposal. I found no kernels for the Continuum made, so I need to baseline for what works.
I made this cwm recovery Odin image for folks to try.
http://adrynalyne.us/files/odin/cont_cwm_recovery_2.tar.md5
This alone WILL NOT give you clockwork recovery. The next step is to download Rom Manager, choose flash clockwork recovery, and from the choices, choose Samsung Fascinate.
This downloads an update.zip to your sdcard. Rebooting from Rom Manager should boot into recovery. Manual booting into recovery takes you to stock recovery. You merely need to install update.zip from the menu for clockwork recovery.
I know bubby is porting something better, but in the meantime, hope this helps.
FOR DL17 users, try putting this on your sdcard and see if clockwork works. (need to Odin this recovery first)

Just did this and it worked i got clockwork mod recovery!! Thanks alot
Cant mount vold on di17.

Yeah im on DJ20 maybe thats why it worked with out a problem for me.
whats the difference in the dj20 and di17? how do i know which one mine is?
actually i see that im showing DL17
DL17 is after the update that was just released, Dj20 is before.
Yeah apparently the code needs to be tweaked for DL17 still.
Interesting.... I am officially on DL17, and your clockwork still works wonderfully? At least I think xP it boots into it through cwm, and no errors?

One thing i did notice is that when the phone is off and i go to boot into revocery it goes into the stock recovery, But when i open rom manager on my phone and have it boot into recovery through that it goes into clockwork mod and works good.
Is it suppose to be like that? Any one know?

from stock recovery you have to apply the update.zip manually to boot into cwr
Ahh ok thats what i thought it was just wanted to make sure before i started messing with things.

I can confirm that this works... Red CWM up and working xD There is a non-important warning saying that it can't find the bitmap, but that isn't neccessary
can anyone give me some pointers on the options when using odin to flash this recovery image?

[MOD] EZ Clockwork 2.5.1.2 Install>Easily flash to 2.5.1.2 to flash old mods/themes

[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.

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!

Link wasnt broken but Mediafire doesnt play nice if your downloading str8 to your Phone. I replaced the link with a different one so try it now.
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.

No, you do not need to reflash this everytime you flash a rom. You should only need to flash it once.

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.

please help - clockworkmod backup rom problem

ok so, i just rooted my phone and that went fine. did it with the stock rom, but after I did that I installed clockwork mod. well, i tried to do a back up of the current rom and when it rebooted it crashed. now it comes up to the android system recovery screen but it won't let me select anything...... can anyone help?!?!?
i am freaking out here... did i brick my phone?!?!?! anyone????
I don't know why you're having a problem or what caused it but you certainly didn't brick your phone. You can always flash a new ROM in clockwork or use odin to flash the stock .tar.
edit: missed the part about not being able to select anything in recovery. All is not lost, just flash the stock EG31 .tar with odin and you'll be fine. You're gonna have to reroot and set everything back up again (I've done it twice today) but at least you will still have a phone. Try just flashing the kernel first, maybe you can get it to boot without losing anything.
everytime i reboot the phone it just comes back to this android system recovery screen. it's blule, at the bottom is says manual mode. and something sucsessfull but, it won't let me selelect any of the options and it keeps booting to this screen... where can i download odin? i keep seeing stuff about that, i guess i need to flash to a rom or something....
edit: cool, yeah.. can you show me where to download what your talking about??
thank you!!

[Q] Please Help - Boot Loop - Sprint Note 2

I have little experience with rooting and roms, so I am really stuck. I rooted and installed Jellybomb 11.0 back in December. The system updates have been driving me crazy and the phones performance has slipped a bit. Anyway, I was playing around and tried to reboot to recovery and it seems to be in a bootloop. The teamwin screen is on and flashes every 5 seconds or so and I don't know how to get out of it. I tried pulling the battery, no luck.
Please help, thanks.
If u can still boot into jellybomb, I would try reflashing twrp with goo manager. Hit menu and install open recovery script. Also, if u used the tool kit I believe u can flash recovery only from there but u may still want to update with goomanager to be sure u have the latest..

Thanks for the advice, but its over my head. I could get into download mode, but that was it. I gambled on unrooting and reloaded stock 4.1.1 and it worked. It was very buggy for about an hour as many things updated and then smoothed out. Everything is still there. The only thing I didn't have backups of was my texts and that was the only thing I was worryed about losing. So they're backed up now. Tomorrow I'll root it again...

[Q] please help. Think I bricked y phone

I was running Hyperdrive and ota update came out so i downloaded it to the phone and installed it. it updated ok but it wiped everything off the phone. I had allot of valuable info especially my passwords and usernames and bank info in the app M Secure. So....I did tell it to back up my info before starting the update. so I went into recovery ( TWRP) to go back to the old version. when the process was done it said it was successful and I hit the reboot button. It never rebooted, just turned off and now it wont come back on. not even into recovery, Any Ideas would be appreciated.Thanks.

I'd start with a clean slate. If you have a custom recovery then take that, wipe everything and then re-flash last known stable version. If the recovery is gone then start with Odin flash of the recovery in download mode.

Thanks. It seems my recovery is gone so im going to try start over with Odin,
After running hyperdrive, it may not boot without a factory reset once you Odin flash the Stock firmware.
Alternatively, you can first try to flash CWM or TWRP with odin, then try again to get into it. If that doesn't help, then go with the stock firmware.

Dude i had the same problem the first time i flashed hyper drive my fix was i had to load a stock firmware for our phone non rooted and reformat using the pit file for our phones i dont know why it happened but it got probresivly worse and its wierd becasue mine would stay on in download mode if i kept pressing the power button. Befor some says that was my issue bs because as soon as i reset my phone with the stock tar and pit file the probl disapeared.
First off, i want to thank those of you who have helped me out. I am going to go back to stock with odin but its been a while since i used Odin, I have 3.7 on my lap top now. I cant seem to find a food reference with the correct links to get the things i need to go back to stock or even to try to put in a new recovery. I also have both CWM folders and TWRP on the computer also. If anyone can point me in the right direction for a good guide on using Odin I would be grateful.I have looked and looked but everything I find is instructions for those who have a recovery, Thanks again
There's plenty of them here on xda. On this forum search for root66 , a thread by Mr Robinson. It has a good guide.
