anyone still following this post?
I've been trying to get the cwm file, but the original thread downloads something else entirely. the zip file is named correctly, but there is nothing but a "recovery.bin" file name and in the file type description in says "VLC media..."
I'm not the only one with this problem. Could someone please follow up on this? Thanks

Just put it in Odin/flash in CWM depending on which you picked. If you Odin, I think you have to put the recovery.bin in the Phone slot, or you can just put the tar in either slot.

You cant let it boot. Booting reinstalls the android recovery. Maybe, have battery out, then try booting with the 5 finger combo, or uncheck reboot in odin.

The CWM files are in this thread:

Here are instructions to properly root your phone by flashing clockwork mod via download mode:

Then you will want to boot into recovery and install whatever ROM you want from the SD Card using the recovery mode.

Odin tars are .tar.md5 or .tar. its not a signature check, but if flashing that doesn't work, delete .md5.

I want to convert ICS system.sin to system.img.
I tried using sin2img.py. It worked for Gingerbread, but it is not working for Ice Cream Sandwich.
The conversion to system.img happens, but I am not able to mount the resulting system.img file.
Been searching all over XDA for a solution, but..

It should be the recovery.fstab
need to modify the paths there.
use the mount command to see what the mount points are.
I have Deodexed the apps and framework, but after pushing them to the phone, I get boot loop.
I used the latest Rom kitchen.
The main problem is the recovery image doesn't match, so a new one needs to be created that is approriate. I believe the mounted blocks are correct, but the system block is not the same or something like that.

Try to change the recovery.fstab for RecoveryX and it did not work either.
Now that a newer version of TWRP is out, and I've read that there's been problems with it, how would I go about flashing version 2.2.2.0? Thank you for your time and answers.
Also, any way of doing it without ADB. I'm pretty unclear of how to use it.
Here's the file:
http://d-h.st/i4T
To install:
Rename to recovery.img and put on root of internal sdcard.
Open Terminal Emulator and enter su
$ should change to #
No enter or copy/paste this:
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Now reboot recovery to verify.
I've got a flashable zip and a .tar for odin, ill upload those in a bit if you prefer.
If anyone would double check my dd command before op uses it that'd be helpful. Going by memory so don't want to make a mistake.

Can I move the backup folder to my external instead (keeping my backups) and use that instead of the phone memory from now in? Right now there is three gigs of backups on many internal memory and I don't like that.
I love this thing!
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

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.

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...

As many have said already. It is much safer and highly recommended to use ODIN to flash CMW or any recovery for that matter.
I flashed my phone yet again, figured I would put it back on lifeless 14 from pacman and I'm having some problems:
1. The phone starts up, lets me play with it for a couple of seconds and then begins a bootloop cycle.
a. I've tried wiping and wiping cache and davlik cache in TWRP many times including re-flashing multiple times and no good. Keeps doing it.
2. Another problem has developed during all of this. It appears that my sd card/internal sd card has been wiped but this is not true. I can't see my data with the phone booted up nor can I see anything connected to windows but....
a. When in TWRP, I can go to Advanced and explore the sd card and all of my files are there.
b. However, if I go to do a restore, no nandroid backups are visible even though I can see them in the advanced menu in TWRP.
I guess my question is, how can I copy all of my files off of the sd card so I can wipe everything, recopy the files back and start over?
All my pics and backups are still there, just not usable at the moment.
Thanks so much. I'm currently dead in the water until I get this resolved.

Thanks for the reply. I did wipe system, data, dalvic, and cache and I did do a factory reset. I did it all, multiple times. All m files are there, I just can access them on the pc or in TWRP unless I go to the advanced menu and file explore. I see everything there. This is very frustrating.
Now, I can't even boot to TWRP or the system. It just keeps flashing the lg splash screen and then goes to the blank backlit screen. I've held the power button down for 20-40 seconds and it either tries to restart or shuts off but I can't get it to go to the bootloader or anything. I've always been able to fix my phones when I've messed them up but this one is killing me.
Thanks for any help you can give. I really appreciate it.
If you don't have TWRP, or fastboot, and can't boot up, then you'll need to either LGNPST. Or LGFlashtool. Flashtool had its own thread. Lgnpst you'll find on irc, or teenybin thread under additional info.

Thanks, while waiting I was able to get the phone into download mode and found the LGFlashtool. When restoring my partitions, will this wipe my sdcard? The whole idea is I don't want to lose my photos or backups if at all possible.
Thanks.

You just never know. I've never used LGFlashtool so I can't say.
With lgnpst, if you wipe in twrp you'll save SD. But if you wipe in stock recovery, you will lose it.
There might be a way to get the files off your phone using adb. But I don't know how.

Yes it will.. it wipes everything...when u flash a bin restore..maybe tiny bins are different.. unless you have adb\fastboot u are pretty much gonna have to say bye to ur storage to save your phone
Also if u can no longer get to recovery it may be to late to pull any files from ur phone

the lg flash tool will wipe it as if it's just coming out of the box, with handsfree activation and all. lgnpst will (afaik) wipe all but your data so you shouldn't lose your photos and stuff

If you don't have TWRP, or fastboot, and can't boot up, then you'll need to either LGNPST. Or LGFlashtool. Flashtool had its own thread. Lgnpst you'll find on irc, or teenybin thread under additional info.

I'm getting an error trying to fix this using TeenyBin lgnpst. I'm not sure what the issue is and the cause is blank but I feel like I'm so close to having this figured out. I must be missing something. Anyone have any ideas? I'm getting pretty desperate. Thanks.

I've tried every bin on the page. I did get the dongle error originally but worked past that one.
Here is the screenshot. Not much info I'm afraid

you're right lol. try uninstalling lgnpst and reinstalling it, and double check the .dll that you're using. i don't have much experience with lgnpst so sorry if i'm not really helping

If I remember right the dll is LS970.dll. The bins should be either ZVB or ZVC. bin. You did register the dll right?

Apparently it was using a different dll last night. The one in the components 3.0 folder called LGNPST_Utility3.dll.
Today, it's not finding any dll nevermind the correct dll of lgnpst.dll. I think all I need now is to have the right dll, in the right place and registered. Frustrated. Thanks for all your help though, you've been amazing.

Do you need it? I'll see if I can find it if so.

I would so love to get my hands on that dll. This will have to be my last attempt before I go and plead with Sprint to allow me to transfer an upgrade from one of my other lines. I need this phone up ASAP. Totally killing me. Thanks.

Thanks man, had to run out before you replied so I stopped in at the Sprint store and the goofy thing must have been stuck in weird cycle or something because it wasn't charging all night. I left it plugged in to the wall using the original cable and block and it was completely dead. The rep plugged it in there for a few minutes and it booted right up to the lock screen without issue. I was even able to get into twrp too. I left it with them to do a manual zvc update and I'll reroot and unlock it again when I get it back in just a little bit.
I'm tired, I was up way to late messing with this last night. I appreciate all of your help. You guys have been awesome.
Wow, this has been an adventure!
The Sprint tech gave up. He could not manually flash it, wipe it, or anything. He could not get it to stop bootlooping on lifeless either. He then thought it was a bad battery or screen so he replaced both (at not charge thankfully) and finally gave up.
So my choices were to have them get me a refurb under the warranty (I don't have insurance) for $50 or borrow an upgrade from another line in which I have no desire to upgrade, it's an extra phone. Either way, Sprint cleared me for both without any penalties on my line as far as my regular upgrade date goes.
So he gave me the phone back and of course I had to mess with it.
I got it to boot to TWRP and I finally got the phone to flash pacman again, had to store the files in some obscure folder on the storage and flash it from there.
With pacman flashed, I was able to get all my files off of my sdcard!
Now, I would like to roll back to lifeless or nexOGen or something more stock. All my problems occurred yesterday when I tried this. Does pacman on 4.3 change something that won't allow me to flash back?
Thanks again for any advice.
All you had to do was wipe SD to solve all your issues.
4.3 uses a different folders it says it under sdcard/0 and stock does not that's why on stock you can't see files you had.
You can pull your files using adb pull to grab things you want to keep.
