[Q] Latest CWM recovery. - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondered what was the latest cwm out there.
I have an orange one now 4.X.X and strangely a red 3.X.X from three finger method.
I am running CM7 JT 7/17, is access to both normal? If not, how to correct?

Access to both is normal but flashing anything with the recovery you got with the three finger salute is a no no once your on the mtd build.
I'm on the same setup and build date but strangely I have the blue recovery, not orange...I thought blue was the recovery that came with this??

Could be that I also have the glitch kernel.
Thanks for the reply, gives me peace of mind.

Flash CWM 4.x.x.x and your recovery will work fine. However, no more 3 finger recovery. It'll come up but won't work. You gotta get into recovery by power off options, pick either reboot or boot to recovery option and you should get blue CWM 4.x.x.x. it works with CM7 ........like a ninja!!

Leads me to the question, what do you do when you actually have to recover

My fascinate wont boot to recovery

I cant seem to boot into recovery by holding both volume buttons and pressing power. I can get into it with "adb reboot recovery", or with quick boot or rom manager (but i current dont have root, so thats not an option).
But when i just try to turn the phone off and boot into recovery manually it just boots into android every time.
Try holding all three buttons until the sammy logo appears. Then release power button only.
Edit: Also try volume up ( or down...can't remember) , power, and home soft key.
And you prolly shoulda posted this in q&a section bud. Try to keep the forums clean and less cluttered.

Worst case Odin back to a pre rooted Eb01 and Odin the recovery.

Ive tried that repeatedly. Maybe im releasing the power button too late. But it just goes into the boot animation regardless.

Im at stock right now, no root at all. I had a semi-brick and had to odin stock DI01 all in one and then use the OTA to go to ea28. I then used odin to flash the DL05/DL09 recovery file. but i dont have root so i cant boot to recovery from the OS and i cant just manually go into it (at least it hasnt worked so far). The only way i can get into recovery is to issue "adb reboot recovery", but the OS has to be booted to use adb, and from my understanding you cant go into the OS before flashing the update zip. When i tried it failed about halfway through.
There is a all in one pack for odin on adroidcentral.com that has the corrwct clockwork recovery, is prerooted, and is froyo with superclean. Id go with that bud.

You can download the pre rooted eb01 and Odin that and from there use Odin to flash your recovery gizmo has a more up to date recovery in a thread here some things are still borked but its better than what we have had.

that's the problem I can't flash another kernel because I only have stock recovery. for some reason I can't oden a new recovery. it acts like it goes through but then I reboot with the 3 finger salute and it's in the stock recovery again.

what if I pull the battery directly after oden finishes and then do the 3 finger to boot into recovery, would that keep it from going back to stock recovery?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App
That'll work.
See, you aren't supposed to have the battery in when you use Odin anyways, that way, when it is done flashing, your phone just powers off making it easy to slap in the battery and do the three-finger into cwm at first boot.

make sure you unplug the phone before you put the battery in. if not, it'll just boot as normal.
There is no ED01 radio that we have available, so I'd be wary of whatever radio file you're flashing. Also, Odin 1.7 doesn't always work properly, try using version 1.3.

Side note on this, is there any practical barrier to bundling a kernel with a recovery Odin?
I noticed in the kernel packages that they generally modify /system when they install. So perhaps you would have to odin over data also to run in a script to complete the kernel install at boot. Meh, it would just be nice if installing recovery didn't require immediately wiping kernel and then odining recovery again.
I figured a compromise would be to CWM recovery with the kernel in the same step, then I noted I was just being lazy and it really isn't much trouble to go through once per factory restore.

I would download a CWM Odin file and one of the two odin files from here. Flash one of the two (doesn't matter which you do first) and once it completes, unplug the phone, and then plug it back in holding volume down to get back into recovery and flash the other file. You'll then have a stock kernel that won't re-flash recovery, so if you boot normally, it won't matter. You can also download Odin 1.3 from here

MIUI 1.7.1

I've been on MIUI 1.6.24.1 and it's been working great. I tried upgrading to 1.7.1 and every time i try to flash I get installation aborted. I've downloaded it multiple times and I'm using CWM 3.x red recovery. Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions?
I think you have to use the yellow recovery. Not sure, though.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
So how would I go about getting yellow on my phone? I can't seem to find a download.
You should already have it, open up terminal emulator and type su then type reboot recovery and that should get you to the yellow recovery.

I just tried that. It booted me into orange and when I tried to flash I got the same status 7 installation aborted.
Look at the first post in the cm7 waiting room thread in the general section, they talk about what to do to fix that.

Can I get some help....

Alright I just traded for a photon the guy told me it was stock and wasn't rooted. Well it was rooted and on 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198.6. The bootloader was locked though. I came tried to boot into recovery and there is no recovery there. I unlocked the bootloader and tried to install the bootstrap it worked at first but when I rebooted and tried to go back into recovery again there is none on the phone. So whats my best course of action? Use RSD go back to complete stock and start over or is there a fix for this?
i think you are mixing things up a bit, bootstrap is an app that launches a custom made recovery that is kinda like a livecd version of cwm. you have to unlock and then flash it in order for it to stick
I would double check to see if you still had root. if not, you have to re-root. then install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218417

Dammit no matter what I do I can't get any kind of recovery to take.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Just rsd to the latest sbf once booted go into settings . Then privacy. Then factory data reset. OK now power off. Turn on holding volume down an power once screen says fastboot, let go and press volume down til u see android recovery. Press volume up to start it. When the icon comes up press volume down and volume up at same time. Now you are in recovery do what u need in there and soon you will back to 100% stock.

Also can you clarify how you are trying to get into recovery? And what does happen when your perform the steps to get there?

Alright i have it all figured out now, just wanted to say thanks again for the help. This phone is a powerhouse I must say. I'm very pleased so far.

Touch won't work in touch recovery

Some how lost touch screen capabilities in touch recovery. I am using the most up to date version of touch recovery but I can't use the touch screen in recovery. Volume buttons still work but no touch screen capabilities. I wanted to install KS 2.11 which needs to touch screen so that is also a no go. Any help?

Did you wiped your data? it may need few touch libraries from ROM....
I did wipe data but I've done this 50 times since I've had touch recovery... and never lost touch in recovery

Did you ever flash Neutrino rom? I know that breaks the touch in the touch recovery...
