Tutorial [noob] How to Install Clockworkmod (CWM) touch/recovery on Galaxy S3 i747.

I was looking for this for a long time and finally found it embeded in a thread here at XDA and thought it would be helpful to have a clean thread.
1) Download correct Clockworkmod (touch or regular as you wish) for your device from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
2) Place it at the root of your sdcard and rename it recovery.IMG
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the play store : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Don't mess up the command or you WILL brick your phone.
5) Enjoy your Clockworkmod.:victory:
Note: I don't take any credit for this.

If you mess up the block or partition number you MAY not mess or brick your phone, you will BRICK it for sure

Thanks.. Edited.

Odin?
Wouldn't it be easier and safer to use the Odin program to load Clockworkmod? Less chance of bricking the phone?

The easiest way I've found is to root the phone via Odin, either with Chainfire's autoroot or Mr. Robinson's root 66. The results are pretty much the same but Chainfire's method won't wipe your phone.
After that install ROM manager from the play store and use that to flash CWM, or install Goo Manager from the play store and use that to flash TWRP.

Good write up and I'm not knocking you, but for noobs its better to use odin. Its a ton safer.
EDIT: I meant Odin, not fastboot. I work with a lot of devices and I forgot about it being a Samsung device. Oops.

rom manager didn't show the att s3 in the list... wasn't able to flash with it.

the problem with using odin is that odin only lets you flash .tar files.... cwm for the att s3 comes as an .img and therefore odin doesn't want to flash it.
i found the easiest way is to root (follow steps in this thread), install MOBILE odin pro (tpb?), and flash the recovery.img through mobile odin pro.

There's a tar file for cwm around here somewhere

not in that post there isn't. the only tar files there are twrp recovery, and the stock recovery...

My mistake, sorry. Must have read the post wrong. Post edited for accuracy

Will this method also work for updating cwm to a newer version?

Hi This method work with model i747m?

As many have said already. It is much safer and highly recommended to use ODIN to flash CMW or any recovery for that matter.

Here are some other things to try:
If you have kies, delete it
Remove the Samsung usb drivers, re-boot your PC and then reinstall them
If that fails then try a different PC. I have one were Odin will not work not matter what I do and another where it works perfect everytime.

Sounds like you might need to fix DRK on your device. Put it in Recovery Mode and see if it mentions DRK fail at the bottom of it.

Yes it does..I don't mean to thread jack, but you'd be a life saver if that's how I fix it..

You'll need a UART cable and gcprokey to fix it. Must be done in download mode. If you don't have these tools take it to local professional in your area.

Awesome, thanks for the advice!

At&t Galaxy Note 4 Stuck in boot loop optimizing apps

Phone will not boot. Starting phone, makes it to the optimizing app # of 26. The first number varies, but it never makes it through the full count without rebooting. I can not boot in safe mode. I have used Odin to re-flash stock firmware 5.1.1 successfully and also factory reset after flashing. the problem still exists.

I tried Stock Firmware via Odin and Smart Switch, Custom ROM via TWRP and all other Recoveries.
It would be nice to see what the phone actually does while booting.
I dont have a clue what is actually wrong. MAybe hardware, but which part...? hmm

Check if power button do not sticks. To clean use alcohol. Pull battery out, little drop on power button, press couple times. Dry with hair dryer for 2-3min. Put battery back and power on. Let us know.
