hi guys.. i just flash clockworkmod on my galaxy w I8150 and now i want to remove it..
is anyone know how to remove it? thanks

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446593&page=6 here you will find the stock recovery file. You flash it the same way you flashed the custom recovery.

Only if you flash with ODIN.....
If adb, using "dd" command, not necessary.

True but I thought you did not like the "Data Destroying" command?

Of course it can be used, but with care!!!
I agree....
there should always be a warning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
It is jokingly said that dd stands for "disk destroyer", "data destroyer", "death and destruction", or "delete data", since when used for low-level operations on hard disks, a small mistake, such as reversing the if and of (input and output) parameters, could result in the loss of some or all data on a disk.

I read the forum before as i have made a bookmark of it in my browser. Actually, i'm confused because there's Odin Multi Downloader and the older one, right?

Sorry ,
but why would one want to remove
CWM ? Is there some issue with the software or is it a warrenty thing?
Apart from personal gusto, of course.

Because updating via OTA(OverTheAir) is (yet) only possible with the stock recovery.

sorry guys for this question, but the reason why i want to remove cwm because, if someday i had to sent my phone to the service center i must remove cwm, if they found out, maybe they will decline my phone..

Flash back stock FW...everything will be restored....
What's the point Binary count to show phone is rooted is there as I know Samsung don't bother if you have rooted in Malaysia.....

good to see you here man, i miss testing for you on the og epic.
so how did you install superuser?

Its been a while since I used a samsung, how do I get into recovery again?

in recovery, download the superuser 3.0.7, extract it, then
adb push Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed/system /system
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
No, it isn't magic and it isn't hard...

On the et4g it was volume up and power..
Find an application in the market that will reboot to recovery.
There are a bunch.
Rom Manager
Rom tool box
Absolute system root
You can also adb recovery as well..

I generally use adb when booted into the OS, and then do the remount on a pc with the sdk installed. Make sure you have the proper drivers installed.

[Q] How to upgrade CWM 5.5 to latest version

Hi guys,
I have CWM 5.5 on my S3 i747, and I just wonder where can I find the latest version of CWM for i747, and also how do I upgrade it using ODIN ?
As I understand, it should be a file named "recovery.img", and to flash it on my S3, I have to tar it and flash the tar file using ODIN. Is that right?
Thanks!

Download rom manager and get from there, I personally couldn't stand the latest cwm recovery its slow as hell took way too long to make a backup
Galaxy SIII via XDA premium

Download your version of cwm there
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
Download terminal emulator from the play store. Run the terminal
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Type everything right. If you get the last number wrong, you get a brick.
I did this on my phone to install cwm touch without any issues

This is too much a big risk for the benefits it gives me if done right. Forget me on this one guys. Ill keep my CWM 5.5 :good:

U can always use rom manager to get latest cwm as everyone mentioned but that will be regular cwm.
If u want touch cwm than u got three options
1) use terminal emulator as mentioned in the earlier post
2) buy it from play store
3) flash through Odin.

I succeeded in flashing CWM 6.0.1.2 using ROM Manager, its soooo easy :good:
But does my backups made with CWM 5.5 will be restorable with 6.0.1.2 ??

I think they will.

They most likely will and even if they don't you could always flash a previous version of cwm( the one you made the backup with). No need for angry faces lol. You should search and get the lowdown of the consequences of everything you flash before you flash.

There's a new version of CWM for our phones, it's 6.0.2.3. I just flashed it and it seems that they removed the option to 'wipe battery stats' in cwm.

[HOWTO] Root Android 4.3 on samsung galaxy nexus

This rooting technique Finally worked you will need three files
1) SDK TOOLS from
2) recovery.img from
3)MRKREHANROOT from
you should have unlock boot loaders USB drivers installed and should be on android 4.3
copy mrkrehanrehanroot3.1.zip in sdcard
be in fastboot mode ie switch off your device and hold both volume up and down and power button together and keep your device connected to PC
Extract the sdktools and place the revovery.img in that folder
then with one finger on shift key right click in an empty space in the folder and select open command window here
then type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
it will flash recovery to your device
in recovery no need wipe anything install the zip mrkrehanroot3.1.zip
and reboot
download any app that requires root access and check for example root explorer
it should ask root acess
in this way you have rooted your device
Keep the thanks rolling and follow me on

I use that method, cannot restore any app with TB or install Busybox, for some reason it's root but not completely.

This thread shouldn't be in dev section, and there were bunch of root method threads/posts that could be easily found.

Read description:
Titanium Backup is an example of such an app. It may incorrectly detect the path to your internal storage for backups, and thus crash on backup/restore. You can fix this by going into preferences and selecting a folder under /storage/emulated/legacy as backup/restore path, not under /storage/emulated/0.

No recoveries found for my device?

I am trying to root my note 3 but I am having nothing but problems. I factory reset my phone a couple times no just because I want to start from fresh. I even flashed a stock rom on it to make it new out of box.
So what I have done is.
1. root my phone from odin on my computer
2. download goomanager from play store
3. give it super user access.
4. Press the menu button and press "install openrecoveryscript"
5. Press "Yes"
6. Then I get a message saying "No recoveries found for your device"
Now I am stuck and have no idea what to do. I have a tmobile note 3
