**PLEASE NOTE, I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH CWM RECOVERY. THIS THREAD IS FOR DISCUSSION/TROUBLE SHOOTING/GENERAL INFO ON CWM TOUCH AND CWM RECOVERY FOR THE SPRINT VARIANT ONLY**
Special thanks to koush, TeamEpic and everyone else involved in making CWM Recovery for our phones. Also thanks to reinbeau for allowing me to start a CWM Thread for Sprint SGSIII specifically
**WARNING: ANYONE USING TEAMEPIC'S DUALBOOT FAKE CWM RECOVERY ARE ADVISED NOT TO USE RECOVERIES IN THIS THREAD! PLEASE REFFER TO THEIR THREAD HERE**
CWM RECOVERY AND CWM TOUCH RECOVERY FOR SPRINT SGSIII (d2spr)
DOWNLOADS FOR ALL RECOVERY IMAGES CAN BE FOUND HERE
-Scroll towards the bottom for latest releases. Our device (Sprint SGSIII) is labeled as d2spr
HOW TO INSTALL?
METHOD 1
-Use adb shell or Terminal Emulator (on device)(Must be rooted)
-Download CWM Recovery and place it on the root of your internal storage and rename it to "recovery.img" (without the quotes)
-In adb shell or terminal emulator enter the following commands:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery
METHOD 2
-Use Mobile Odin
-Download CWM Recovery, rename it to recovery.img and place on root of internal storage
-Open Mobile Odin (may start downloading neccessary files for our device)
-Select "Open File", then select "Internal SD-Card"
-The recovery.img should be listed at the very top. Select it
-In the main menu the only Partition that should be selected is Recovery
-Scroll Down and Select Flash Firmware (after it flashes you may be automatially rebooted into recovery)
METHOD 3
-Use CWM Manager App (**ONLY NON TOUCH RECOVERY IS FREE IF YOU USE THIS METHOD)
-Download and install CWM Manager
-Open the app and select Install CWM Recovery
-Let it install. After installation completes reboot into recovery and see if it works
METHOD 4
-This is a .tar.md5 file I made for CWM TOUCH RECOVERY 6.0.1.2 (I tested it personally, it works)
-DOWNLOAD THE recovery.tar.md5 (md5 checksum: 421b6b467a304532fb19a35d960678bf)
-Open up Odin on your desktop (If using Mobile Odin, Follow same instructions as METHOD 2 except you don't rename it)
-Make sure USB Debugging IS enabled on your device and go into download mode
-once in Download Mode make sure Odin recognizes your device (should be a blue box that says COM then a number)
-In the PDA Slot navigate to wherever you saved the recovery.tar.md5 and select it (again, for the PDA Slot)
-Once selected, make sure Auto Reset and F-Reset Time are the only things checked
-Select Start
-If the installation goes right you should get a PASS! message in Odin

How to Make a recovery.tar.md5
This is a guide on how to make a .tar.md5 file to be flashed through Odin or Mobile Odin. These are good to have on hand. If you end up unrooting your phone but re root. Instead of using Odin to flash a CWM Recovery that's outdated you can make one yourself using this process, then flash it using Odin so you can boot into recovery and flash a Root from Recovery zip
I used this guide, I'll just try to expand it and make it a little more simpler for cygwin (Windows) users
1) Navigate to your cygwin directory (ex: C:\cygwin) and go to C:\YOUR_CYGWIN_DIRCECTORY\home\Owner\ and create a folder, name it to whatever you'd like (ex: recovery_odin)
2) Download your CWM recovery image and rename it to recovery.img. Place it in the folder you created in cygwin (for the rest of the guide I'll refeer to this folder as recovery_odin)
3) Double click on your cygwin.bat and type this:
Code:
cd recovery_odin
4) Enter the following commands:
Code:
$ tar -H ustar -c recovery.img > recovery.tar
$ md5sum -t recovery.tar >> recovery.tar
$ mv recovery.tar recovery.tar.md5
5) Inside your recovery_odin folder you'll find your recovery.tar.md5, flash that using Odin (PDA Slot). If you want full root acess you need to flash the Root from Recovery zip immediately after flashing your new recovery. So, in Odin prior to flashing your recovery.tar.img, make sure Auto Reboot option is not checked and you pull the battery out after your recovery successfully flashed so you can enter CWM Recovery and flash that zip (make sure the zip is on your Internal SD prior to flashing the recovery)
woOT!!! First again!
Used the adb method earlier on my own to push the CWM Touch recovery, worked as it should.

I used method 5, I love Rom Manager.
But when backing up rom from rom manager,
it goes to recovery and starts and quickly aborts with error.
It will not do a nandroid, I tried many times.
But if I do a backup directly from recovery clockwork it works
fine other than names with the year 1970. Why doesn't Rom Manager
work, and I have latest version and installed sprint GS3 right from it.
Nice conflation of goodies on this thread
CM9'rs running off Epic CM Team's temp kexec 'dual-boot / red Fake CWM' have been advised NOT to use ROM Manager (ie, to obtain CWM Touch or Nightly updates etc.)......... could bode badly.

yea grab the zip file in the second post and flash it. I've read some ppl having issues with it not sticking after a reboot so I would recommend either using adb or mobile odin, both of those have worked for me. I personally haven't used the zip's CWM published
In fact I removed the links to the CWM zips. I haven't tested those so I can't vouch for them
Use the CWM Images (direct Links in post#2), or use the .tar.md5 file I provided in Method 4 and use those.

The zips "work" but they do not "stick"....the IMG file does make recovery stick though...just my 2 cents...
I have soft-bricked my phone by trying to install a different kernel and ROM on my Pro Duos B5512.
Flashing only the kernel in the thread by championswimmer didn’t work because of a md5 mismatch.

There I downloaded the latest firmware for Europe. Using Odin3 v1.85 I flashed successful and my phone is back up and running!
Here is a step by step:
1. Download and install KIES by Samsung (Odin needs these drivers to work)
2. Download odin3 1.85 (search on xda)
3. Download a firmware pack on mod2extreme
4. Open Odin and put the phone into download mode (volume down+Home+power, then select volume up to enter download mode)
5. Wait for your computer the finish the automatic driver program and your computer should recognize your phone
6. Now select the following files in ODIN (make shure auto reboot and F. reset time is selected)
-> PIT is the .pit file in the firmware map, the box in ODIN to Re-partition should be automatically checked now (if there isn't a pit file then this remains empty)
-> BOOTLOADER, select the file which has BOOT in the file name
-> PDA, select the file which contains PDA in the file name
-> PHONE, select here the file which has MODEM in the file name
-> CSC, select the file which has CSC in the file name
Info:For Save Use Do Not Use Boot loader and pit file. Do this only if everything else failed!
When everything is set-up click start and keep your fingers crossed! When everything goes according to plan your phone should restart, copy some files to system and the reboot again. Your phone is back to life! (boot could take 2-3 min)
Hope you fix your phone!

Nice explanation..
1. Suggestion..
Add "[GUIDE]" to your thread name.. It helps to identify what it is in mobile xda app.. and change mobile name to galaxy y variants.. As i suppose your guide covers both y duos and y phones... And lastly add link to manoranjan2050's thread (link)who is doing great work of providing all latest stock firmware updates to both duos of galaxy y.. So anyway good info..

dude the download link dosnt work..
Thaks for the great guide. In Nitubhaskar's compact kernel thread for our device he gave advice on how to flash stock kernel and recover from soft brick in case you brick phone while flashing custom kernel. Can you add some of that info here and credit the appropriate persons? It would be great to have all relevant soft brick info for our device. Yor thread is dedicated to recovering from soft brick and so would be the best place to have all the facts in one piece

Hi, I have not used odin before, but my phone (B5512 galaxy y pro duos)
has a firmware from another country and I want to have my own
(because then I can write in my language). I have downloaded a file which
has "modem"," csc" and "pda" files only and it's the firmware other people
from my country have (B5512XXLF2) . I think my phone has Polish firmware (B5512XXLL1)
while I want the Greek one. Also, these two types seem the same
(the only difference in the code is the year month and version)
but one has greek keyboard and the other doesn't, what's the deal with that?
Will this method work for me? If not can I recover my phone?
I have not done this before and the phone is less than a month old and I am scared!
Thank you.
Recovery via odin should be possible. As for flashing Greek firmware I recommend you talk to Deadly or another expert via PM before proceeding.

i wanna just update 5512 and i download rom for egypt and this rom one file ( one package)
where put md5 ? PDA or where ?
thnQ
Good work op,helpful explianation...
If I'm creating a duplicate post, I apologize. However, I am trying to find a zip of CWM Touch 6.0.2.3.
As I am creating this post, I see that there may be a recovery in other forums. Is the recovery the same across all devices? I just want to make sure I get the right one for my S3.
Thank you,
The one and only GBP.
Just made these .zips...
CWM 6.0.2.3 (SGS3 T-Mobile)
CWM 6.0.2.3 Touch (SGS3 T-Mobile)
Flash either of them in Recovery Mode.
CWM SITE
Thank you, I really appreciate your help.
So I know how to do that the next time, how did you create the zip file? When I was at the CWM site, all I could download was an IMG file.
Try using twrp its nice and user friendly if you want an alternative touch based recovery just download goo manager from the play store and give it a try can't hurt

HOW to create a .zip (flashable rom when new version comes out)
1. Started with older CWM .zip ROM that I knew worked in past...
2. Download Newest CWM Recovery .img file from CWM SITE...
3. Extract older CWM .zip and rename to newest Version number... example "Recovery_CWM_v6.0.2.3"
4. rename newest CWM recovery .img to "recovery.img" and copy to your extracted folder. (Write over older version)
5. Re-compress with WinRAR or 7-Zip and make sure it's .ZIP format, not .RAR or another type.
6. All done
*** All your doing is taking recovery image and updateing into newly created .zip
*** in flash mode, the Recovery option to INSTALL (or flash any zip) always reads META-INF\com\google\android\"updater-script"
the script it reads for this example is...
ui_print("Please Wait");
ui_print("Flashing recovery");
show_progress(0.200000, 10);
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p18");
show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("Success!!!");
so you can see it 's just gonna put "recovery.img" in your "mmcblk0p18" Partition which we can see is the recovery partition.
there are many partitions like System, Data, Flexrom, Cache, Dvalk Cache, SD Card, etc...they all have same start with different ending numbers mmcblk0p18
I agree with dscott973, that TWRP v2.3.3.1 is the best RECOVERY ! I'd change to that one (my opinion)
You can do the same thing by puting TWRP image renamed to "recovery.img" in the same format as this thread example (and rename folder accordingly),
but very important, always make sure your using the same type. Make sure your using for Samsung Galaxy S3 (TMobile type).
Example : Don't mix Verizon or AT&T type (just know what your doing and label it correctly)

^So true, found that out the hard way... :silly:
ok. new noob here. so i have downloaded the file to root and install cwm on my gs3 from rootgalaxys3.com. the cwm in it won't allow me to flash a new rom. 'assert failed' is the only thing that keeps showing up. i looked into it and i think i have to upgrade my cwm version. so i found this link to the touch version for the galaxy s3. after i download it and i go to throw it in to the PDA slot in odin. its not there. so i extract it and i find 'meta-inf' file and a "recover.img" i can end up putting that in to the pda slot. BUT it ends in .img... is this ok or does the file have to end in .tar to flash properly and work?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

The 2 files I posted earlier here are for FLASHING in RECOVERY only, not made for ODIN install.
another separate way to install Recovery is...
A) Download app from Market called "Terminal Emulator" (it's like using ADB commands on cell phone instead of PC).
B) use the same "recovery.img" from either of my 2 Zips earlier posted and then copied it to External SDCard (name of .img file has to match same name as in text below)
C) Run Terminal Emulator and enter these 2 command lines (Cell has to be ROOTED for su permissions to work)
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
D) Check to make sure you have Recovery.
-with cell being off, Use {Volume Down, Home, Power} to load up recovery and check it.
To directly answer the question, you can only flash .tar files with Odin.

So i'm actually stuck at step number 5.
5. On the computer, open a terminal and run the following command from the Heimdall directory:
heimdall flash --recovery recovery.img --no-reboot
Tip: It may be necessary to run the command as root in Linux distributions, ie "sudo heimdall [...]". If a blue bar doesn't show up after the process has finished or this appears: "Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence!", it may be a symptom.
Tip: it may be necessary to capitalize the name of the partition on some devices... ie --KERNEL instead of --kernel, or ---RECOVERY instead of --recovery
Tip: protocol initialization can (does?) fail if the device is connected via a USB hub - connect directly to the PC
6. A blue transfer bar will appear on the device showing the recovery being transferred.
7. You need now to manually reboot the phone into ClockworkMod Recovery mode.
8. The Galaxy Note 2 LTE now has ClockworkMod Recovery installed. Continue to the next section.
So when i download the cwm file from the cwm site or from the link in the guide, i can't unzip it with WINRAR or Winzip.
and when i run the command as stated above, i get an error message saying: " 'heimdall' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." So i'm kinda stuck and don't know what to do now. Anyone have any thoughts?
Unless you have a definite reason for heimdall, use odin software.
Odin. ...and done. ...g

I never understand why they make such long instructions.
In my opinion if your phone is already rooted just install Rom manager from the play store. Rom manager has an option to install the custom recovery. Though I recommend twrp as recovery. Much easier to use.

Alright, so i have a Galaxy s3 (sgh-i747) and i rooted it with philz bootloader
So i was going to install a custom rom, so i had to wipe.
I downloaded the rom, and wiped.
But then i realized i actually never put the ****ing rom on the phone and now my phone has no rom loaded.
I can still boot into download/recovery
I really need help with this, what are my option?
So my phone is not rooted any more i guess because the recovery/bootloader is the default one
I still really need help with this

Do you remember what (stock) firmware or Android version you were on before the attempted installation? Your best option now would be a return to stock. If you were on anything earlier than 4.3 (e.g. 4.1.2 or 4.1.1) you could try using Odin to flash 4.1.1 since you can get into download mode. To do this take the following steps ..
1. Download the required files via the following link <http://fortedge.com/downgrade.html>and extract the Odin flashable file
2. Install Odin
3. Boot into download mode and flash via Odin
OR you could find the correct stock image via the following discussion thread and flash via Odin. This would be a complete stock file that will flash all partitions including bootloader, modem, kernel and system.

If you were on Android 4.3, then you cannot use the above method or flash via Odin and any attempt to do this will create more bother for you. In this case, you would need to flash custom recovery via Odin and restore the stock recovery image via custom recovery. Please download the stock recovery file via the following the thread ...

If you need any further detailed steps on how to complete this, please do not hesitate to holler.

Download Odin.
http://fortedge.com/downloads/Odin307.zip
Download the Odin flashable custom recovery file via the following link ...
<http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/d2att>. You need one of the more recent images ending in *.tar e.g. the one below
<http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-d2att.tar>
Install Samsung Kies on your PC if you don't have this already (this will be useful for the drivers)
Install the twrp tar file to an easily remembered location on your PC
Extract the Odin zip to get the executable file (*.exe)
Click on the exe file to run Odin
Now boot your phone into download mode by powering off completely then holding down the Power + Home + Volume Down buttons simultaneously until you see a warning message.
Press the Volume Up button to continue
Connect your phone to the computer with a good quality micro-USB cable
If everything has been done OK, Odin should immediately recognize your phone and you should see a message saying "Added" in Odin. If you don't see this, then you may need to check the drivers are properly installed.
Click on the PDA tab in Odin and navigate to the twrp tar file you earlier downloaded. Select this file and click OK.
You should have the Auto-Reboot and F-Reset Time boxes checked in Odin. Please do not check or uncheck any other boxes!
Click on the Start button at the bottom to start flashing TWRP and wait until you see PASS and a green (or blue) box fully displayed. Your phone will automatically reboot after this although it may not be able to boot since you don't have an OS installed. You may disconnect the cable and close Odin after you see the PASS message. If you see FAIL, then disconnect, remove the phone battery and try again.
If you successfully flash TWRP, then you may proceed to reinstalling your ROM.
1. Download the zip file in the thread below <<http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486>>
2. Save to a recognizable location on your phone's SD card. If you can't install files to your phone via your PC, then you may save to a micro SDHC card using another micro-SDHC compatible device (camera, another phone, card reader/writer etc).
3. Boot into recovery mode
4. Select Install from the TWRP menu and navigate to the zip file you download. Swipe the arrow key to confirm installation and wait for installation to be complete
5. When installation is complete, clear your cache and dalvik and reboot system and you are good to go.
Hope this works for you. If it does, please remember to hit the thanks button and let me know.

You may also try Odin 3 v1.85 if the v 3.07 didn't work. I've been looking for a safe download link for that online but I've not been able to find one. You may try searching for it online.

Here is Odin 1.85
Or you could try putting a room on an SD card. That's why I always check to see if a room is there before flashing
