[Q] clockworkmod help - Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660

I installed cwm using ROM manager. Right now, there is no problem with phone's working, and I was also able to backup my stock ROM. The problem is, when I flash a new ROM (using rom manager), it ends up in the same stock ROM with factory reset. I can't also boot into the clockworkmode recovery. What shall I do to replace the current cwm version with a working version?

Go into download mode and reflash ur stock rom with odin. You will also have stock recovery back.
Re-root and flash cwm with your stock recovery.
Thats it.
Youre a lucky guy if your phone still wants to boot after rommanager cwm...
Just to make sure, you can flash roms WITH rommanager, but not FROM rommanager.
The ones in their list arent compatible with our gio.

Thank you..
Since I am a beginner, can you please tell me about getting into download mode and reflash using odin.
I can still boot into my stock recovery. I have downloaded 'cwm 6 for gio' from xda. Can I install this using 'install from sdcard' option in stock recovery? Will it get updated properly or end up in bricking my phone?
(Sorry to ask very basic questions)

Can anyone please tell me whether i can change my cwm version (present one not working) by 'update from sd card' option in stock recovery? Or do i have to reflash stock rom using odin, then reroot and install the desired version?

First, I would suggest flash the Amon_RA recovery from ROM Manager. Then download the ROM, place on root of sdcard, reboot into recovery ("adb reboot recovery" or shutdown, power + vol dn, select recovery), wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache twice, and finally flash from sdcard (the ROM you downloaded). Reboot. Done.

Get rid of ROM manager. It's messy. Do it the old fashion way with a PC.
Go to Amon_RA's thread to download his recovery. Latest is 1.8.0.1.
Afterwards, download the ROM, move to your sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache twice, and then select flash from sdcard. Flash the ROM. Done.
ROM manager is just rather limited and leaves room for error. This way you get a clean install every time.

+1 on these instructions! AmonRA is my preference. Also, if you want to reboot to recovery easily from your phone, go to the market and download "QuickBoot"

[Q] Galaxy ACEII CWM Problem

Dear Specialists,
I am using GB on my Galaxy ACEII now.
When i bought it GB on it then i install JB (Offical version for Turkey)then i dont like it cause of slowness and freezinf problem then i go back to GB again...
In the past i can use CWM on this phone one time but now i cant do it...
My phone is rooted now and when i check it (with Root Chacker) everything look like ok about root...
But now when i try to use cwm again, i flashed its file in Recovery Mode then i flashed it in Recovery Menu then restart my phone then when i go to Recovery Mode again CWM not open and i see same (standard) Recovery Menu again...
In the past before reach CWM i need to flash another file or something like that (i am not sure because my brain really mixed) and somebody told me i need flash cwm.zip everytime if i wanna use it after standart recovery menu...
Can anybody help me about that cases (if possible with im [with gtalk, skype or sth like that) because really i have brain salad... :'(
Thanks a lot all replies from now on...
Sincerely...
then how so you root your Ace 2's GB? Do you access CWM to root?
Anyway, you can get rid stock recovery by using ex kernel v1.7 (i use it every time I go to GB). This kernel change the stock kernel automatically to CWM, and also it can use to root (use root file and install it via CWM)
Install the kernel using ODIN and put it on PDA

[Q] Can't acces recovery mode after succesful rooting.

Hello. I have successfully rooted my sgh-899v and I have have used this method.
galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method[Can't link it properly because I do not have 10 posts yet]
Now whenever I try to go into recovery mode, I have the samsung logo which breaks down. After a while it will boot and I can use it. It's not bricked. It just won't go into recovery. I have installed Titaniumbackup and ROM manager and I don't know what to do. The cwm that I flashed through Odin said cmw6 but when I choose the version on ROM manager for recovery setup, I chose ClockworkMod 3.x+ and my phone says current recovery at cwm 5.x.x.x and I still can't acces recovery mode! Please help it is very frustrating for me. Thank you for reading.

Will the app you sent allow me to boot into recovery mode even though I don't currently have it? I'm scared to do anything to brick my phone. Please reply and thanks for the reply.
If you dont have a recovery which u should yes it will allow you too if you have root access and if you want to install twrp recovery install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager and open the app hit the menu key you should see a list of options one being install openrecovery, tap in that one it will ask if you are sure you want to write recovery image to your device just click yes and bam you should now have a recovery
How did it go?

my phone is doing the same thing. i rooted it and then i tried to boot into recovery to install a ROM. the logo comes up and then shakes all over the place and then goes to a black screen. then nothing. i have to press the power button and it boots up normally to the regular phone. i downloaded goo manager and tried to install a recover but it loads for a second and then says no recovery found.
is there a way to install a custom rom using odin? i can bypass recovery using odin right? or does that not work?

You can install a custom recovery using Odin (twrp being one of them). Very few roms are installed using Odin.

Having problem custom recovery not sticking after odin flash.am on stock 4.12 w/root.have used odin 1.85 & 3.1.have tried twrp & cwm.always reverts back to stock recovery at reboot.
There used to be a unbrick/back to stock app w/root for earlier galaxies.that kept me out of a lot of trouble.since I'm on att note 4 w/locked bootloaders,I haven't paid much attention to what's available now.
any ideas why recovery isn't sticking.any help appreciated.thnx

Open Odin, uncheck everything except f reset time. Flash TWRP. When you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove USB cable from the phone, remove battery, replace battery, use buttons to boot into recovery.
Thnx for reply.before I saw your reply,I tried the rashr app from playstore.it worked first try.i had tried goomanager,quick boot and some of the other apps with no luck.
Thnx again.now I can flash a more current rom.

[Q] Difference between CWM and Philz recovery?

Hi guys,
I already rooted my grand phone and had CWM 6.0.2.3 recovery installed through ODIN.
I recently came across the Philz recovery for our Grand.
Just want to know the difference between the normal CWM and Philz recovery.
Also,the thread states that we can flash this in our recovery as a zip file.
how can we flash a recovery inside a recovery???
sorry if it is a stupid question...But just curioud to know!!!

Well... philz recovery has more advanced options , good interface , etc.. its just another recovery like cwm , twrp etc..
They are all meant for some basic purpose , but some have advanced features .. that's all

You are able to flash a recovery from inside another recovery because the what the zip flashing does is mount your system files, in this case the recovery partition and overwrite it with custom files. So the next time you try booting into your recovery, instead of the old files, your phone reads the new custom files and loads them into the temporary memory for your use.
This concept applies to stock as well as custom recovery. Whenever you hold down the three buttons, the phone is programmed to read and load a particular partition, the recovery partition, into the temporary memory with admin privileges.
So the recovery you are using right now is in the temporary memory, only available till that very session, that's why its not a problem for it to overwrite it's own files

Please Help: No OS Installed

I've been at stock root for a long time, and after being nagged about the OTA update to 4.3, decided to install Smoothest Note2/3 Rom from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582027
Before doing so, in TWRP I made a backup and also copied that backup to my PC. I also used the app MyBackupPro to back up all info and copied that to my pc as well.
I believe I followed the instructions properly to install the Rom, but am now told there is no OS installed.
I can access both TWRP and download mode via Vol up/down home and power. But that's about it at the moment.
Can anyone help in getting back up and running? I think/hope I can use the backup on my pc to reflash to the phone?

Now I just have download mode. Can I flash a recovery image via Odin to get it back up? I'm starting to get myself a little worried now
