Firmware upgrade encounterd an issue - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I've been trying to get CM on my SGH-T898D.
I was following: wiki.cyanogenmod.org /w/ Install_CM_for_hercules
I was trying to get CWM on via Heimdall and I've now got the device stuck with "Firmware upgrade encounterd an issue." By stuck I mean that no matter how I try to boot it up it displays this message.
To do this I ran:
heimdall flash --recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-hercules.img --no-reboot
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I've gone through that whole thread and it didn't help.
Things that don't make sense to me:
1) The CM wiki states that:
Heimdall does not currently reliably support the device so it is recommended to use ODIN or compile this Heimdall: github.com /jamiejackson/Heimdall.git . This message will go away once Heimdall supports it fully.
I couldn't get that to compile on my workstation so I used the binary Heimdall package from:
Linux 64bit:
Heimdall Suite 1.4RC1 Command-line Binary: download
2) The CM wiki states that:
koush's ClockworkMod Recovery: download
md5: 66578f6295f308197aa970dfada6ede6
That is the image that I pushed to my device via Heimdall.
Yet the thread that you responded with is not at all clear what ClockworkMod recovery I should actually use. Note that the link in the original post gets redirected to a Windows video download utility.
3) After I did the original push via Heimdall I thought I should try Odin. I did several attempts:
a) One I fought some instructions on how to repackage the img file that Heimdall uses into a tar file that Odin can use. I used this to push
download2.clockworkmod.com / recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.7-hercules.img to the device.
b) I found different ClockworkMod Recovery tar file and pushed to the device.
None of these fixed the problem.
4) While the device is in this state I get no indication on the device that the ClockworkMod Recovery images are actually being pushed to the device. Both Heimdall and Odin seem to get me feedback that the push is successful.
5) Once when using Odin I might have inadvertantly pushed to "Phone" instead of "PDA". I don't know if that will cause a different problem. I am not sure if I've added issues to my problems.
Thanks again for any help.

Make sure you download the right img files for ur phone. I outlined how to name the files. If ur phone uses the same img file as mine then don't rename them.

My device will NOT boot up Android so I can not run an app.

How to flash a newer version of CWM safely

I initially rooted with http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS3ATT/rooting/GalaxyS3RootATT.zip that I got from here yesterday but feel like it has been al ittle glitcht.y http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s3-sgh-i747/
the newer version is recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.5-d2att sI don't want it to conflict with the old version of CWM or anything it leaves behind. hould I just do it through odin?
the best route would be to flash from rom manager.....and if not, grab the latest from the interwebz and run this from terminal
su
if=/sdcard/ recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

what do you mean "through" rom manager. Did you flash an image through it? Could you provide the link for that image?
OR
Rom Mangaer has an install CWM recovery option...but underneath that option I do not see the Galaxy S3 listed...so what phone did people select?

The first option in RM is to flash a recovery. Upon pressing that you are given a list of phones. Scroll down to the Samsung GS3 and choose it. It will then flash the recovery within RM.

Terminal is as easy as the rest. I posted the commands up top, I see you didn't read the whole thread ;p ****, terminal is easier BC you can pick any recovery you want. Besides, it makes u feel like a true dev ;p

Hey my md5 checksum has a mismatch, but I know the files are fine. is there a terminal command to recompile the md5 for a given image?
Also I noticed the new version of CWM has teh option to backup files as TAR, wouldn't that be better since Odin flashes Tar? If you couldn't get into CWM for some reason you can just flash for Odin?
Forgive me if I'm being newb here had my phone for three days after a motorola bravo

Fastboot

Hello, I have 2 questions regarding Fastboot for the Galaxy Note II:
1) Is fastboot supported in the Galaxy Note II?
2) If not, is there an adb equivalent of the command: fastboot boot recovery.img?
I ask because I know that adb is supported by the Galaxy Note II, and it seems that Fastboot isn't. I appreciate all help.
Regards,
Alan
Why do you believe fastboot is not supported? Fastboot only works in a special bootloader mode, you can get into with 'adb reboot bootloader'.You shoulb be able to use fastboot then. Generally there are no adb equivalents of fastboot, as they just do different things.

Hi dobbi,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, the command 'adb reboot bootloader' does not boot the Galaxy Note II into bootloader/fastboot mode. It just boots the device into normal mode, just like a regular restart. That is why I think this mode is not supported by the Galaxy Note II. Could it be that I am doing something wrong? I doubt it, because the 'adb devices' command works normally, so it must be that even though the adb reboot command is being sent correctly, the device somehow blocks it. Any ideas?
Regards,
Alan
Try to boot into download mode with either a jig or by pressing special buttons, I don't know them by heart, but they should be easy to find. Then issue the fastboot devices command. If you see your note, you can use fastboot.

Booting into download mode is easy (Vol. Down+Power+Home). But once in download mode, neither fastboot devices nor adb devices show my device. In normal mode, adb commands do work though. I have read somewhere that fastboot mode is not supported by the Galaxy Note II because it supports Odin. I am not that experienced, so I do not understand why supporting Odin means that fastboot must not be supported (why cannot both be supported?). Does this make any sense to you?
Regards,
Alan
It is possible to support both. I cannot find any real evidence that the Note II does not support fastboot, however it isn't mentioned in any tutorial or similar. Not every device supports fastboot, unfortunately, as it's a developer tool, really. And let's face it, the Note II isn't exactly what you'd call a developer device... I do not own this device, so I can't check, but it seems there's no fastboot for you

Tried it but it just gets to "recovery.img" and sits there for 15 minutes...
The Note 2 uses ODIN/Heimdal to flash recovery. It's insanely simple.
VolDown+Home+Power, then choose VolUp to get into ODIN mode.
From there, use ODIN (Windows) or Heimdal (Linux) to flash a proper recovery (ClockworkMod, TeamWin OpenRecovery...) and use the new recovery to flash your new ROM.
I use Linux so I haven't tried ODIN. Heimdal went like this:
Download TeamWin Openrecovery. Extract the recovery.img
heimdal flash --recovery recovery.img
Done.

Close kies from task manager or remove it entirely. Just leave the drivers.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Something of note that no one has mentioned: ODIN requires .TAR files in order to flash correctly. .IMG files will not work. The Galaxy Note 2 Toolkit includes all tools you will need to root, add a custom recovery, flash an insecure bootloader, and convert .IMG files to .TAR files.
Maybe try Heimdall, or a different version of Odin.
Just realized how old this thread is. I'm sure you have this figured out by now. lol
Same here...!!!
Hey Bro,
I use Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-T889). I am facing the same trouble regarding fastboot. Very depressed to find my phone does not support fastboot..!!
Thank God and thanks to you all for this thread!
I've done everything humanly possible to fastboot
N7100 but no way! Adb works fine, I've used Odin to flash stock firmware from sammobile with pit file and everything worked well but fastboot? No way!
I've downloaded the Lastest drivers from Samsung and Google, disabled firewall and Anti-virus, run as Administrator, uninstall and reinstall drivers but yet fastboot ain't working on N7100....
Anybody who has ever used fastboot on N7100 should please tell us how, it's really annoying that I can't use fastboot on this phone.....

You can't use Fastboot on Note 2 cause.........it doesn't have it
Samsung uses Download mode and ODIN (which is much better with GUI than CLI Fastboot) for same purposes.

[Q] "Error: Device not found" in adb.

Hello friends,
I'm trying to install cyanogenmod and no matter what I do I consistently get the device not found error when I try to use "adb push cm-10.2.0-RC1-endeavoru.zip \sdcard\"
I know that in the cyanogenmod install guide it says it's probable that it's a driver issue. I've looked around for a good 2 hours trying to find what it might be, so I've tried reinstalling htc sync, I've tried uninstalling htc sync and using koush's universal adb driver, but nothing seems to work.
When using "adb devices" it doesn't give me the error, it just gives me "List of devices attached" which is empty. (I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to do though)
Attached img of what I've been doing.
USB debugging is on. It's been automatically turned on whenever I connect it to my PC since I updated to 4.2.2 anyway.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I'm completely new to this. Do you mean normal recovery from bootloader or a custom recovery that I should of done but completely skipped due to my ignorance? (I also haven't unlocked bootloader so I'm assuming that's a misstep as well?)
Because all I get when I do the normal recovery is a picture of a phone with a red triangle and "!" combo.
Thanks
Yeah to install a custom rom it's mandatory to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. And what i can tell from your post it that you really are a novice on things. Some tips ?
1: never start without a full battery
2: learn fastboot + commands
3: always make a stock rom nandroid backup before starting flashing !
Read up in this forum. Under the stickys there are some nifty guides. If you have questions after that just ask here.

Thanks for the tips!
After a while of toiling to try and unlock the boot loader manually and getting stuck at the load error for Unlock_code.bin, I found Hasoon2000's tool, so he is my god for now.
My query that I have is, Do I need a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to create a nandroid back up? Because all I get when I try to go into recovery from the bootloader is this (img attached, not mine because I don't have another camera in the house but luckily I managed to find one on google img.)
I can't find anything saying that I do need a custom recovery, but then again it's not working when I try without one, so I'm not too sure where to go from here.
Thanks again
Please read carefully what i write, i know exactly what to do !
You need a custom recovery !
Sorry to be back again so soon but I'm stuck again, haha.
When I try to flash cwm I get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'". When I try to use Hasoon2000's tool kit to do it for me it doesn't work either as it just says device not found and in the second command window it says that it can't load it's .img file either.
The recovery.img is in the same location as fastboot. My phone is in Fastboot in bootloader.
I'm typing "r:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Trying to auto complete recovery.img using tab does nothing (if that might indicate some sort of problem).
The only thing I can think of is that the MTP drivers never install properly but I read on this forum that it shouldn't affect fastboot.

Ok so I still couldn't do it manually on the other computer. Got the same errors as with the first. I tried flashing with Hasoon2000's tool again and noticed that it was trying to flash CWM.img while the recovery for it was actually called recovery.img. Renamed it to CWM.img and it flashed perfectly.
I assume it would of done the same on the original PC I tried it on.
No idea why it wouldn't work when I tried it manually, but yolo. Hasoon2000 is love. Hasoon2000 is life.
Holy hell Hasoon2000 has saved me again.
I flashed the kernal by accident and it got stuck in boot. So i just sideloaded the rom in H2K's tool and everything turned up Milhouse.
Yay congrats

And if it says can not load recovery that means it's named differently or that it's not placed in the same dir of the fastboot files. A common error is that people hide filename extensions in windows. Then rename the recovery to recovery.img.img and then it won't be found by fastboot

[Q] What means "one click flashing"?

Hi, I am studying android and custom roms...
I found the term, "one click flashing". (I am usually playing in AT&T android development forum. In particular, Ditto Note 3)
What means "one click flashing"?
Waiting for reply.
Thanks.
Have a good day.
The file is downloaded to the pc, is unzipped, and then ran in administrator mode. The phone is booted in download mode and connected to the pc. Then you click 'start' once, and the rom is installed.
What do you mean the file is ran in administrator mode? I assume you are talking about Odin? I am not familiar with Odin very much. I too am wanting to know this in reference to the DN3 rom.
Admin mode is windows 7
How is one click different than a normal flash with Odin? In one click do you still have to select the file into the PDA slot to flash a bootloader? On the Play store there is a mobile Odin. Can I use this to flash a bootloader? I don't have access to a PC so do it the traditional way through Odin is difficult for me.

You don't have to put anything into the PDA slot. The one click works, like your opening a zip file. Once it's open,, Odin would pop up on your PC... Then your phone is put into download mode,, connected to the PC. Hit start wait till it completes...
Done...:thumbup:
As far as MobileOdinPro...
I've heard some people used it to flash...
Just read and know what your doing\flashing using mobile Odin ok...

Okay, you make it sound so easy. I have yet to be able to get Odin to work. I have downloaded countless versions of Odin from xda and when I put the phone in download mode and flash a file in pda slot nothing happens, it says 0 ran, 0 failed. I have downloaded the file several times and still no go. When I use Odin it never shows my model number on the top of the program. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am trying to flash the bootloader to 4.3. Don't know if this matters but I used the heimdal method to root my phone on a Mac, but since no Odin on Mac, I have been using a pc for it.

[Q] Can't remove CWM!

Hello everybody.
I installed cm11 via cyanogenmod installer. When I was done with installing it, I installed Rom Manager application. The application then offered to install CWM Recovery, so I agreed to do so since I am more accustomed to it than TWRP.
Was working, until I the phone told me I had a new update.
The update downloads, and tries to install, but nothing happens ( or happens wrong so it just aborts), and I am left with the "there is an update for your phone".
So I figured out I might do it manually, so I went to Rom Manager and set TWRP to be default, and went to recovery.... and there was CWM.
I tried GooManager, TWRP Manager, all still reboot into CWM not TWRP.
I then tried CWM and it worked flashing the latest snapshot, but it had a serious bug, so I restored to the previous snapshot. ( Can't how that is relevant to the subject).
I really would like to install the TWRP and remove CWM. My question is: How do I remove CWM and install TWRP.
Thanks.
Just learn fastboot and manually flash TWRP image. If nothing goes wrong, TWRP will overwrite CWM as your only recovery.

I did as u said, but now I can't boot into recovery, and when in fastboot menu, it says I have no boot or recovery image.
But I can load into cm normally.
However what's weird is that it said the product code name was tuna, which is wrong, it should be maguro.
Any thoughts??

Tuna is your phone. Tuna is Toro, Toro+ and maguro.. As said before learn how to use fastboot and flash it via fastboot. Plenty of guides.. Its really easy.

Yea at this point you may need to use fastboot. If multiple tries of above haven't worked.
As said, it's REALLY easy.
You can use fastboot to clear recovery partition in case something is corrupted in it. And can just do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the path to recovery.img file you are installing. If you are cd'd into folder where recovery.img is located you can just use the name of the img file instead of the full path name to it.... it might sound confusing, but there are step by step fool proof guides to follow. And after you've done it once you'll be like "dang what was I worried about, this fastboot and adb stuff is easy" lol...)
Let us know if you need any clarification on the process
Thanks guys, but I have been really busy lately I couldn't learn fastboot, but I think I know how, since my first root was manual using such a command prompt.
I'll reply once I do it and report.
Thank you all very much.

agreed!
if you are unsure at all about any commands or setup, always happy to lend a helping hand.
much easier to help out with steps beforehand, rather than try to figure out where something went wrong afterwards
Hello
I managed to flash TWRP successfully and then tried to install cm update from the system update available.
However there was an error and it didn't work.
Here is the recovery log, it said something about not finding an md5.
Any thoughts as to what is happening here?
