[RECOVERY] ClockworkMod Recovery for Galaxy S i9000 (FINAL! SAFE!)

First things first, if you flashed a previous version of Clockwork Recovery using Odin, FLASH BACK TO A STOCK KERNEL. (There's another link in the forum to do this, I can't find it at the moment)
This recovery is *very* safe to use. It does NOT flash your kernel; it is a completely uninvasive recovery method.
How it works: The recovery is packaged as an update.zip that you run from STOCK recovery. The update.zip unpacks Clockwork Recovery onto the ramdisk and restarts recovery. When you reboot, it reverts back to the original, unmodified, stock recovery. So, you will need to keep the recovery on the root of your SD card as an update.zip, and apply the zip every time you want to start Clockwork.
HOWEVER, if you use ROM Manager, all of the recovery installation and management are done for you!
Installation instructions:
Download ROM Manager from the Market.
Flash Recovery.
Choose Galaxy S i9000 as your phone.
Accept the Superuser prompt.
Use ROM Manager to create a Backup.
On the very FIRST boot of Clockwork, you may need to manually select "reinstall packages" if Clockwork does not start. You should only ever have to do this once. It will be automatic from then on.
Watch the backup go!
That's it! This is completely painless and safe! There is no need for Odin anymore to replace the recovery or flash updates!
If you appreciate my work, please buy the Premium version of ROM Manager!
If you can't seem to get ROM Manager off the market, you can get it from my homepage:

Just installed! Working great!

Installed with ROM manager. Works like a charm! Thanx alot Koush!

To install roms with clockwork we need roms in *.zip format? Where to get them?

YOU ARE THE MAN
thank you and thanks all Xda devs and members

hmm ... I know this might sound stupid but, acually GSG is my first android phone, though I know how to flash roms with odin and how to apply update.zip and all that but what is the difference between this and ClockworkMod Recovery ?? and does it use the same components as odin ? (I mean CODE, CSC, MODEM and Pit) ?

Stickied. Closing the other one. Not sure why you would start a new thread instead of modifying the old one though...

Thanks Koush your the man. Coming from a htc magic I hate this odin bull

Hmm... did every step and in the first reboot, after using rom manager to create a backup, it was supposed to go to the cloclworkmod recovery screen as mentioned, but instead it goes to the regular recovery screen.
Bug? I'm using the JM1 FW
EDIT: After rebooting my phone and trying to open ROM Manager again, I have some sort of "Recovery Failure" screen with 3 options:
- Recovery mode is broken.
- ROM Manager doesn't reboot.
- Other.

Do you already have an update.zip on your internal sdcard? If yes, rename it, and then should boot just fine!

Ahhh... I guess I'm not very used to this "Internal SD Card" thing... there was the update.zip I used to root the phone there and I only checked my regular External SD.
Everything is fine now, sorry for bothering.

I had the same issue. Must have been the update.zip, but I didnt remove it, just pressed the other option, went into manual recovery mode, rebooted went into rom manager and backed up my files. Worked a charm

Does this mean there will be no more work on a permanent recovery solution?
I have the Korean version M110S - and it does not have the standard recovery (it is crippled - no apply:update.zip). Is there and abd command to "apply update.zip" ?

May I ask if this work for me using mimocan ext4 fix on the backup/restore?

This may sound stupid, but I'm kinda new to Android modding (SGS is my first droid, moving here from WiMo on SE-X1) and.... What is Clockwork?

So if I ever needed to send this phone in for warranty purposes, I could just flash the backup of my stock ROM in and I should be good to go?

does this method works for captivate and vibrant???
edit: just install/ captivate and vibrant option available.

i remember seeing error 7 before on a rom i tried to flash.. i was using CWM so its not the recovery's fault. turns out there was a problem with the rom...
so find another rom to flash would be my answer for now.

The problem is that i get this error whatever i tried to flah. Even cwm or some other rom result in same error

What procedure are you using to flash? What file are you trying to flash and where did you get it from?

I start up the phone using volume down and power. Then in teamwinner i chose install zip and then the file
so far have tried, all downloaded from here or linked from here, those files
CWM-Touch-6.0.2.5-DJ
Hellybean-20130405-crespo
TWRP-2.4.4.0-DJ
jellyshot_crespo-v3.3
nothing works. all of them exist with error 7

Fair enough about the roms, but why cant i even install cwm? This shows me just the error 7 too

I wouldn't be surprised if your recovery is either not for your device or not even a flash able zip.

Where did you get that CWM? http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager? If so those are img files, for flashing from fastboot. But I have no idea what "DJ" is for. To flash from recovery it needs to be packaged in a flashable zip.
Or you can install CWM from the ROM Manager app. Or TWRP from GooManager.

quite frankly i wouldnt use CWM. The UI is annoying as hell, and it tends ot be a lot slower, at least from my own experience.
I recommand TWRP, http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2/90 latest version here for maguro.
if you have adb set up, installing twrp is cake, simply open adb and type:
1) adb reboot bootloader
2) fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img <-----assuming you are in the directory of that img file you just downloaded, and TWRP is just the name of the img file, its usually attached with version, so i would rename it for easier access.
3) after you flashed it just boot into recovery and start flashing your new rom.
If all else fail.....use the toolkit and flash factory image for a fresh start, i havnt failed with factory image yet

[HELP] cant go past Google logo

Hello, i do full wipe..then ROM flash regular as normal everyday ROM flash. But now i cant go into boot animation it just stay on Google logo.
i have lates TWRP 2.5.0. I can go into recovery, flash ROM, i can do anything in recovery without error message. I can do full wipe system, cache, dalvik,data then flash ROM but no matter what ROM i flash it just does not boot

Flash stock factory images through fastboot, then start over. Try another recovery version (like twrp 2.4.4.0 or cwm), even though I haven't experienced any issues.

Have you successfully installed Factoty Images like beekay201 suggested? It seems like you haven't. Please do thst and verify the phone is working well before flashing anything else.
You can do it with toolkit, or witb fastboot commands manually it doesn't matter.

Completely wiped my phone, can't get stock ROM unto it...

I wiped the internal storage on my phone by mistake and now my phone has no OS or ROM to flash it back on. I tried to sideload with TWRP but the feature wouldn't start. I flashed the stock recovery and tried to sideload it there but I get an "error: protocol fault (no status)"... I tried to mount storage on TWRP but that feature didn't seem to work on it either. It's a good thing that I still have my OnePlus One to use, but I would appreciate your help!!

I had the same issue the first time I tried to add side load the stock rom, I tried it again and it worked. my suggestion is to try the side load again. Make sure your using the full rom zip.

I tried like a thousand times on both stock and TWRP to no avail. When I reflashed TWRP and tried to sideload one last time it told me that I needed ADB version 1.0.32 which is what I should have because I installed the "15 seconds ADB Installer v1.4.3" from the stickied guide here on the OP3 forums... Anyway, I got access to the TWRP folder and the internal storage by just being in the TWRP recovery, not sure if it was always like that, but I just dragged and dropped the ROM and other flashables onto the phone... lol Maybe I was freaking out too much to notice, but why would anyone sideload anything if you could just drag and drop stuff while in TWRP and just flash? Maybe reflashing TWRP fixed something or I was using an older beta OP3 version before, I re-downloaded everything.

I screwed up when I tried to update to 3.2.0 OOS. I were rooted so the installtion failed and I restored a corrupt backup with TWRP that resulted in a stuck boot logo.
I did this too fix this. boot into fastboot (if you still can) then make sure its connection properly. "fastboot devices". Then in your ADB folder place a TWRP.img and type "fastboot boot twrp.img" wait like 10 seconds, it will seem like it doesn't work but if you are a functional TWRP img it should boot up just fine. Select allowed modifications and then you can also access storage. There is a post on the oneplus forums where you can download signed full zips of the ROMS. download any of them. I will past in the post if I can find it later. Not home atm. Just copy the .zip onto the phone and then do a factory reset and flash the full rom and then reboot should work just fine. You don't need too flash TWRP just boot it if you still wanna keep stock recovery.

Bro don't worry.
All you gotta do is to download a stock image.
Boot into fastboot.
Then use a toolkit like this one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
Then use his toolkit to download and boot in twrp.
Now copy paste a full signed zip onto the phone by connecting it to your PC .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3410870
Do a system and cache clean.
Flash the zip and make it boot before rooting it.
Done..!!

[Guidance] SGH-T989 UPDATING ISSUE!

Good evening everyone!
I've recently wanted to update my Hercules from 4.1 (I know it's reeealy outdated) to version 6.0 Marshmallow.
So I did a few steps and now I cant' seem to go any further, and I need your help.
So far, I've done the following:
-Installed TWRP 2.8.7.0
-Used Odin to flash the TWRP mentioned above
Now, I know there are a few problems regarding this version of the TWRP on the Hercules, so I tried fixing it by using Odin again and flashing the updated 2.8.7.1 and even the 3.0 version that I found on some threads, but with no sucess.
I haven't even had the chance to install Marshmallow on my phone in the first chance, because I couldn't find any .ZIP folders on the TWRP instalation menu.
I really appreciate your help guys, I'm a noob at this and I'm just starting to figure what is what, I just need my phone updated. It's running so far atleast, so it's not hard bricked I guess.

Did you follow the instructions to flash TWRP using Odin?

I'm pretty sure I did everything I was intended to do. I installed Samsung Kies so I could install the drivers on my mobile, and then TWRP through Odin properly with the blue light showing up. After flashing it, it turned green and said PASS or PASSED. So I think I did everything right on that end, I can even access TWRP with no real problems.
I even tried to do a ROOT on my system, but again, I couldn't use ZIP or any other files on the TWRP installation option because they simply do not appear

bump

Watching this thread as I have the same problem.
I can boot to TWRP 2.8.7, but if I try to install, there's no file to install from.
I can go back to TWRP 2.6.0, and then mount the card and see the ROM, but every ROM I try fails. Something about non-virtual partitions if I try 4.4 or better, and error executing updater binary if i try 4.1

I don't know of any problems with any of the recoveries. However there are different recoveries for different roms which need to be used in a specific order and in a specific way, the first time that you virtually repartition your phone.
Have you gone through the process of applying the "virtual partition" and installing the modified "virtual partition" recovery? This is required for most of the MM roms on this phone (Hercules). The process is very well documented here http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-tmobile/help/guidance-sgh-t989-updating-issue-t3414641 in the #2nd post.

Hi, thanks for replying
No, I dont' take I have taken that step actually. I'm pretty new to this and I tried following every step correctly, but I know that I failed or skipped something at some extent and I've been trying to figure out what exactly, so I can fix it. I guess I need to Virtual Partition my phone then, could you post me the link do to so? Because I think you posted one that would take back to this post

I shut it down in TWRP then hold volume down and power to go into download mode.
My phone has gone backwards now though - it doesn't matter what I load in Odin now, it won't boot up. The SAMSUNG screen is on, with a progress bar, but it never gets to the end. It stops right near the end and it sits there until I reboot it again.
