Hi, I've been looking around on here because the app 'ROM Manager' told me to look on here for help. I haven't found any tutorials for my model of phone. Its a Samsung Galaxy 5. Please could somebody provide a simple tutorial/explaination of how to 'flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first' so that i can use ROM Manager to backup my stock ROM
Thanks!

our phone isnt supported with rom manager yet, there is clockworkmod for our phone though but you need to install it through odin
Download Odin 4.28 and the ClockworkMod file, and flash your phone to CWM that way, it works- thats how i got my phone running CM7.1.

No need for links. Clockworkmod Recovery is now officially available through ROM Manager.
Solved (for me)
I also have a Samsung GT I5500 (Galaxy 5, Europa)
So, as I see, Rom Manager free isn't available for Android 2.1 (that's the version I had).
Although, Clockwork recovery can be installed using Odin, but to start the phone in "recovery" mode it's needed to do it trough the console in the computer, using the developer tools (with adb) ...or, use it just after it's installed.
After installing that recovery image it's automatically started, for the first time.
But you can use it to install another newer and better ROM, that can be compatible with ROM Manager. I installed CyanogenMod 7.
First you have to "root" your phone, here is how I did it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19576527#post19576527
To install something using Odin use this post (about installing ClockworkMod Recovery and CyanogenMod 7), it's newbie-friendly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416190
But I recommend using the files from this post (are the latest 7 January 2012):

And, as in that last post says, be sure to install the "Baseband", without that I got a boot cycle:

Do not use rom manager at all. It does not work for the Fascinate. Also don't use anything from the link the previous poster provided. All the CWM's in that link are for the Epic 4G not the Fascinate. Most everything for the Fascinate is now written in Edify script so you have two options for a working CWM and both are better flashed in ODIN in my opinion:
CWM from times_infinity - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36791/CWM3_Voodoo.tar.md5
CWM from nemesis2all - http://www.multiupload.com/8VDE8GX69P
So IM going to assume that Rom manager is useless on the fascinate? I should be using odin for all rom management? Thank you for All the help Im learning so much! you guys Rock!
So are there any diffrences bettween the two CWM versions that are avialable ? And where do I Find info on both of them ?

Information on times_infinity's version can be found in his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046905
The one from nemsis2all gets flashed to your phone when you flash the OTB kernel. There is no thread for nemesis2all's CWM. It is basically the same as the one from times_infinity except it includes the ability to enable and disable the 100mhz step when using an OTB kernel. If you are not using an OTB kernel from nemesis2all you may want to stick with the CWM from times_infinity.
If you are unfamiliar with using CWM here is a great guide on how to use it including screenshot visual aides:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...-clockworkmod-recovery-w-screen-captures.html
ROM Manager has been useless for many months now for the Fascinate.
I only use Odin to flash recoveries and to flash back to stock.
CWM is what you use to flash custom ROMs by using the "install zip from sdcard" option, and then navigating to the zip file of the ROM you downloaded. Just use regular USB mass storage to get the zip file on your phone or just use your phone to download the ROM.
We dont use rom manager much.but we will once we get Official CM7 support.

I use ROM Manager to boot into CWM. the older version of CWM that is brought up when I do the 3 button boot doesn't work with CM7.. is that correct?
When trying to look for new ROMS on Rom Manager - it wants to install CWM, though I already have it, obviously.. I'd do it, but there is no option for the i500 Fascinate..
I'm so very confused.
I use rom manager to boot into recovery and I'm running CWM 4.0.1.0 (blue text) with no problems
I can vouch for not using RM on the Fascinate. I tried that, used it to flash CWM, everything seemed legit, though CWM didn't want to work right. I looked around, saw that RM is useless, and decided to use some other CWM file through Odin. Had a near-brick and had to restore everything from stock. Killed my sunday afternoon, that's for sure.
Hey guys,
Im really freakin out right here. Feel like I messed up my entire recovery.
I was on a stock samsung firmware, then installed cf-root, was working like a charm. Switched back to the original kernel. Then I decided I wanted the Litening rom on my device.
I had problems installing it, for Odin did not work. Then I installed Rom Manager, and installed their recovery. That surely was a huge mistake.
Now I can't flash any kernel or rom (the phone itself boots fine though), it says e signature failed.
I can't flash back to my backup file made with the CWM app, after I put on CF/root. If I try to go back into the recovery mode using the CWM app, im getting the recovery menu from Rom Manager.
I can´t flash the kernel using Odin. It keeps hangin at setupconnection.
What should I do?
you should have read the CF-Root thread.
CWM Manager
Because of incompatibility with ROM Manager, I wrote and included "CWM Manager". This is a new app (as of March 30, 2011). You can find it under Applications -> CWM. It is much faster to use than manually booting into CWM and selecting these options.

you should NOT use Rom manager, with the CF-Root kernel!

I have got a complete backup of my phone, made with CWM. Is there a way to get that one back in place. Or is there a way to flash back to stock using Odin?
Go to wwwDOTsamfirmwareDORcom/WEBPROTECT-i9100.htm They have a database of SII stock roms. You can flash the stock rom using ODIN in download mode (home+power+volume down, while the phone is off). Follow the instructions on the site. If you need help picking a ROM, just ask me. This site is safe. I've used it before when I screwed up my VillainROM installation.
you should also uninstall rom manager. that should be the first thing you do.
Managed to flash back to stock Many thanks!

Can anyone give me a link from where I can download the latest version of CWM which can be used for SGS II? Is CWM Manager v3.0.0.5 the latest version?
I have the latest version of ROM Manager Premium, can that help?
EDIT :
I figured I could download the latest version of CWM using my Rom Manager Premium. But I'm still stuck! I figured that I had to "Flash update" using my existing CWM Manager to flash the file update.zip. Ok, done that. But after rebooting when I again open the CWM app it is still showing as version 2.0!!!! What exactly do I have to do with the update.zip file which is there on my sdcard to make me show the CWM Manager v4..0.1.5??? If only Chainfire had bundled the latest version of CWM with his CF Root kernels rather than the ancient version he has! How unthoughtful on his part!
I have been trying to get answers since yesterday and no knowledgeable developer/senior has come forward to give any proper answer. Do all of them go on a holiday on weekends? I am having to figure out everything myself by hit and trial method, using my own common sense and some well intentioned help from junior members! If this is the way this forum is going......then I'm sorry to say that this forum is going down the drain!!
ClockworkMod recovery or the app?
If you want a kernel with CWM (as in samsung land the recovery and the kernel and linked togethet) and everything else stock try cf root, most kernels come with CWM, but not all will work with rom manager.

I already have a CF rooted kernel which came bundled with a CWM Manager v2.0. But that version seems to be a very old one. It is of no use to me in flashing modded files. Now how do I update the CWM installed in my SGS II with the latest version of CWM? I wonder why Chainfire is not putting the latest version of CWM in his root kernels.....have asked him this question on his CF Root thread also. Meanwhile, can anyone here tell me how to upgrade my current CWM Manager v2.0 to the latest version? Surely, a stand alone file of CWM Manager must also be in existence for installation into our phones? Or do we necessarily have to get it bundled in the CF Root kernels only? I am on CF Root KF3
Oh ok, never mind! I found the file with help from another member, Arhtard, on another thread. And I just figured, I can simply upgrade it by using the Rom Manager that I already have.

CWM manager is an app like rom manager.
Chainfire includes an upto date version of ClockworkMod recovery in the newer versions of cf root.
Using rom manager to just update CWM without updating the kernel won't stick, and the version will go back down on reboot.

1. KF3 is hardly one month old! And Chainfire's bundling of version 2.0 with that is just not right. He should have bundled the v4.0XX with it. Now because of that ancient version installed on my phone, I can't install any mods that I make in the UOT Kitchen.
2. I have the latest version of ROM Manager Premium. I used it to download the latest version of CWM v4.0.1.5. I have tried to update my existing CWM v2.0 by flashing the update.zip file......but after reboot I again see the version as 2.0 only! So how do I upgrade my CWM to 4.0.1.5??? And you seem to be right in saying, "Using rom manager to just update CWM without updating the kernel won't stick, and the version will go back down on reboot. "...... so does this mean I cannot get the latest version of CWM installed on my phone if I want to remain with KF3 Stock Kernel? So what is the workaround to this problem?
Do I have to flash again with a later CF Root kernel like say for example, CF Root KG3 and then flash the Stock KF3 Kernel back? I want to remain on KF3 stock kernel for a while till I get the official Firmware update in India via Kies.
3. My whole problem began when I downloaded a modded file from UOT Kitchen to change my Boot Screen, Icons, Windows, Battery Icon, Fonts etc. And while rebooting in the recovery mode of my ANCIENT CWM Manager, I get an error due to "signature verification". Now the developer of UOT Kitchen tells me to "disable signature verification" to be able to flash the UOT .zip file. But he does not tell me how to "disable signature verification". He must have assumed that I have the latest CWM installed. So now in order to use the modded file I created on the UOT Kitchen, I need to have the latest version of CWM installed. But you are telling me that I cannot install the latest version of CWM while still on KF3. So I'm back to square one!
4. And has anyone using the SGS II successfully installed the modded boot animations, fonts, icons etc. from files cooked in the UOT Kitchen??? If after wasting so much time & effort in trying to install the latest CWM Manager I find that the SGS II boot animation, fonts, icons cannot be modded, then I'm going to get really mad!

On my phone I have CWM 4.0.0.2 when in the actual recovery mode but the apk version is 2.0
According to the cf-root thread kf3 had cwm4 so have you tried rebooting into recovery then IN IT choose to install the zip and then you should see a option to toggle the signature verification that isn't in the app.
Even after having flashed the update.zip file (v4.0.1.5 downloaded via Rom Manager) through the CWM app, I get only the following options when I go in recovery mode:
reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
I choose "apply update from sdcard", then I get to choose the file to install from sdcard. I choose the UOT File, and I get these two lines of errors in RED color
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Same errors show up if I choose the update.zip file instead of the UOT .zip file.
"According to the cf-root thread kf3 had cwm4 so have you tried rebooting into recovery then IN IT choose to install the zip and then you should see a option to toggle the signature verification that isn't in the app.".............
That is the reason I'm upset with Chainfire....he has written on his thread that it has CWM v4 but you find out later that it's only v2.0. And YES, I tried rebooting into recovery from the option given inside the CWM manager app only. And I DO NOT see any option to toggle the signature verification when in recovery mode, simply because the ANCIENT version of CWM does not have this option!
And as per Veyka, it is not possible to upgrade the CWM manager without upgrading the Kernel also. And he seems to be right. I have the update.zip file on my sdcard but I am still unable to effectively install it so that the upgraded CWM Manager will show as v4.0.1.5. So as per him, if I want the new CWM then I will be forced to flash a newer stock Rom. This is coercion! I do not want to flash any unoffical Roms at this point of time, I want to stay with KF3 till an official firmware update comes from Kies.
Does someone know what to do with my CWM update.zip file so that it gets installed and the CWM Manager stops showing as v2.0?? I guess no one knows. The only way out is if Chainfire makes amends and recreates a CF Root Kernel for KF3 with the latest version of 4.0.1.5
And one more thing I'd like to know, will Kies update firmware after we install the modded UOT zip file?
try "install zip from sdcard" not apply update

Where do I get this option "install zip from sdcard"??? I DON'T HAVE THIS OPTION ANYWHERE! There are only TWO options in the CWM Manager that I have, "flash an update.zip" and "install an APK"
That's what the whole problem is : I have an ANCIENT CWM Manager app (thanks to Chainfire) and I CANNOT UPGRADE TO THE LATEST VERSION OF CWM unless I flash a later kernel.
Don't use the manager just reboot into recovery

How to "just reboot into recovery"???

Ok....finally figured it all out on my own, without any/much help coming from the veterans on this board. Managed to install the CWM latest version via Odin. And got my UOT Kitchen mods to work also (well most of them worked like fonts, notification screen, windows animation, icons.....but boot animation did not work. No worries, am happy with the changes I made in the appearance of my phone.....will try some more later. Cheers!

Untrue. He did not bundle v4.0.0.2 with KF3. If he had, then I wouldn't have faced so much trouble. He had bundled some ancient version which showed only 4 options, as compared to the current version which has more than double the options. All I needed to do was to disable one option of CWM Recovery, but was unable to do so because that option was NOT THERE in the version CF had bundled with KF3. As a result, I kept wondering what other people were talking about....as I didn't see those options in the version I had.
Having said that, I do appreciate all the good work CF does for getting us new root kernels everytime and have also pressed the THANK YOU button several times on his profile.
@stoney73 : I do understand and appreciate that people have a life other than sitting in front of their comps, but this is a very very large community of people living in different time zones, and at any given time there are like a 100 people logged into the site. And it was probably sheer bad luck that no one knowing about my problem came forward to help for nearly two full days.

You need to have the CWM file in .tar format to be flashed via Odin. I don't have the link, but I'm sure you will find it somewhere in this forum itself. It should be version 4+ to work. Just do a search for this version and then flash it just like flashing any root kernel, putting it in the PDA space.

Then I rooted my s3 with cf something root kit and then my signals were gone. I have the international version so my phone should be factory unlocked so I thought I should install cm anyway cuz that might solve the problem. But it didn't.

You should reinstall everything from the scratch mate, so revert your device at stock (using odin), then flash the correct [email protected] kernel and finally if everything is working flash cm9.
Edit: if your device is locked i think you can unlock it easily, search in the forum you can find out everything you need for this.

- launch Odin
- load that ONE FILE on PDA section
- put your phone in download mode (volume down+home+power)
- connect the phone to computer, wait for drivers to be installed and ODIN to find your phone (you will see a message in Odin)
- click start
- don't touch the phone until it's done. It will boot alone
Also, it might be a good idea to wipe data / reset to factory before and after flash.
You could find all this info with google ....
On the topic, I have a similar issue. My phone was factory unlocked , and got locked after flashing latest stock firmware. Downgrading didn't solved anything. I am searching the forums right now, but it seems like all fixes are dated.
If anyone could point me in the right direction, it will be appreciated.
Thx
Hey rsndetre,
Thnx for the post, but sorry I already did that and it worked ..
Here are the method I used to get back my device back to normal and got my sim card working and again reinstalled cm9
1- Downloaded Toolkit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
2- Flashed Stock Boot Image
3- Flashed Stock Recovery Mode
4- Downloaded stock firmware from http://fus.nanzen.se/
5- Flashed stock firmware using Odin (your method above)
6- Rooted the device again (using odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4)
7- Downloaded and placed cm9 and google apps package in SDCARD
8- Installed Rom Manager from Play Store.
9- Downloaded and Installed ClockWorkMod from rom manager and booted to recovery mode using RomManager
10- Then factory resetted, formatted the cache and installed the CM9 and GAPPS V11
Then my phone was good to go.
My phone is up and running, thanks rsndetre, Arsaw and TecQuality for your replies. I appreciate your time

Hi
Does anyone have CWM "recovery.zip" for Gtab 10.1 GT P7500. I can only find md5 and .img files. I am refering the latest version 5.5.0.4.
Thank you
I asked around for this a few days ago and a guy posted a link for me...I can't find it now...darn it!
I read in another thread that you can use ROM Manager to flash your IMG though. If you still have that zipped up, park it on your SD card, open ROM Manager and go "install zip from SD Card". Select it and flash and I think you will be okay...I have never tried it that way though.
Can anyone else confirm this works? Or if you are brave give it a try and let us know!

There are some issue upgrade ICS 4.0.4 with rom manager.
like boot loop, screen rollong in CWM recovery mode. maybe not affect by Rom manager...
but most issue reply with rom manager installed.
For rolling screen there's a fix,flashing custom bootloader,but causes issues on official ICS at the moment...

Thank you for your files. Just to explain why I need it: since i am a linux user i try to flash my tab using linux. The following procedures did not want to work:
-Adb / Fastboot
-heimdall
-flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img.
The only method to flash the recovery for me is flashing it with the recovery as a .zip file and then rebooting the recovery. In this way I was able to install CM10 Jelly Bean on my tab.
Cheers.

I asked around for this a few days ago and a guy posted a link for me...I can't find it now...darn it!
I read in another thread that you can use ROM Manager to flash your IMG though. If you still have that zipped up, park it on your SD card, open ROM Manager and go "install zip from SD Card". Select it and flash and I think you will be okay...I have never tried it that way though.
Can anyone else confirm this works? Or if you are brave give it a try and let us know!

Did you zip it up first? Don't extract it.
You can use Mobile ODIN to install the .md5 recovery if you're rooted
The pro version is on the Play Store or the lite version is free in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
I don't think that zipping the image solves the problem. As far as I know you have to zip it without compression. It would be helpful if there would be a how-to for Linux in this case.
