Guys, I'm with some problems (everything works fine for everyone, except for me) with CWM Recovery, it's crash backuping and don't install any custom ROM.
So, I would like to know if there's any method to install one custom ROM using the PC. Anyone knows?
Mine never crashed once in that cwm installation. maybe you have a corrupt cwm or something?
try it from the beginning. use the batch script here on this thread
ClockWorkMod Installer - Windows v4 - Linux v4
and see if it works now.
i guess you would have manually installed cwm.
i dont think there is a way to use the pc to install roms unless a dev steps up to do that. try the basics and see if it works.
IF you still experience crashing try flashing the whole phone using SE update service and then go from the base. it was easy to do that (through my experience i found that).
Good luck with the recovery

The problem it that I've just had flased it and installed with this CWM Installer. It started having problems after I tried to install the CM 7, when I was with Ginger. DX v6 or v9, I don't remembered.
And the xRecovery started with problems after that too. I've installed ArcMini Theme with it well, but after the Ginger.DX, I couldn't do ANYTHING!
Oh, and sorry for English.
I don't thing it will possible or easy to install via PC & you should first go for xrecovery, install ROM like froyobread (which having simple installation process) & will also install updated CWM recovery automatically. Then you can replace this ROM with any other ROM & remember now you have CWM as well as xrecovery.......enjoy

Hi all,
I rooted my SGS2 (KE7) with CF-Root ages ago and haven't done much since then, aside from take regular backups.
Looking at the Cyanogenmod stuff, I fancy giving it a go. All the guides talk about using the kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 .
Does anyone know if I can flash the cyanogenmod ROM using the recovery mode I have with CF-Root, or if I need to get use the kernel from the above patch first?
This morning I tried installing the kernel (from the CF-Root CWM), when my phone rebooted, the touchscreen worked on the unlock page but not once I unlocked (I use LauncherPro as my launcher). Rebooting into recovery mode didn't work (the phone just booted normally) so I reflashed CF-Root but still had the same problem however I could boot into recovery mode and restore this morning's backup.
Now, the phone boots (with the warning triangle, expected) but there is no response after I unlock for a minute or so. Setting the stock launcher back works but I'm confused about why this should happen and what I should do next.
Does anyone know why my non-stock launcher is now being non-responsive for the first minute after boot / what I can do to get it back?
Am I able to install cyanogen with CF-root, or do I need to use the kernel in the above link? and if so, do I need to do anything other than just flash and if not why didn't the phone boot into recovery when I tried it earlier?
Any suggestions gratefully received!

The cf-root kernel is all you need to install cm7.

This is correct. However, after you install the cm7 .zip the first time, it will have only installed the kernel for cyanogen mod. So you will then need to boot back into recovery with 3 button mode and run the zip install again from there. You will then have CM7.

Don't quite understand this. I've got the cm_galaxys2_full-39.zip (100MB), I was going to put this on the SD card, boot into recovery mode and install from there. Are you saying I need to do this same process twice? (and if so, why does it only install the kernel the first time when it is the complete zip file?)
Cheers,

CF-root => Cyanogen mod
Hello everybody,
There are a few threads that discuss this question, but they all draw a different conclusion.
This one for instance : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367933 (or if the link is broken, search for : How can i use cf-root kernel for cm7?).
In the thread above they claim that CF-root is not compatible with CM7, however in this very thread there is said that when installing the .zip file twice, it should work just fine. As i'd like to install CM7 on my CF-rooted S2, i have to know for sure:
Is there a way to install CM7 on a CF-rooted device?
Many thanks
Rom manager doesnt work with cf root, so to flash cm7 download the zip, boot into recovery, and flash the zip twice, and it will work.
Make sure you wipe data and cache, and take backups before you do.

Ok, i'll give it a go .
Thanks for the quick response, it is much appreciated!
As the title says, before I knew not to install Rom Manager, I installed it. I used Rom Manager to install CWM. However, when I try to boot into CWM, I get the "Android system recovery <3e>" in blue lettering. I have uninstalled Rom Manager, but is there anything else I need to do to clean up anything Rom Manager might have done?
thanks
I did it too, not sure if its bad or ok?
It is OKAY to install rom manager and will not create an issue just having it installed. What you cannot do right now correctly is get it to go into cwm correctly on stock roms.
(It works flawless on cm7 and I use it daily or every couple days. I have even used it to back up the STOCK Samsung rom and cm7 roms. I have then in turn went from cm7 back to stock via cwm with the backed up copy I made with rom manager).
Once you see the cwm3 recovery just reboot phone, turn it back off, three finger salute until you see the Samsung galaxy s screen and let go of the buttons. This will get you back to the proper cwm to install roms.

First you need to download this SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar
kernel, here is the link: http://www.multiupload.com/QQKN7NJAFT
Go into download mode and flash with ODIN.
After doing that you need to ROOT the phone using "SuperOneClick" rooter which
can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285894
Once you get done with these two steps sucessfully you will be good to go and will be able
to flash any custom rom found in this forum. You will also have the CWM recovery screen too.
(notice: I did NOT say anything about rom manager in any of the two above steps )
Good Luck
Thank you very much for your replies. I am currently running a "rooted" stock rom. Are you saying that I will need to re-root the phone after installing SGH-I777_ClockworkMod-Recovery_5.0.2.3.tar?
Thanks for your help.

If you are really are rooted now then just do step #1 afterwards just make
sure that there is an app installed called "superuser" if you cannot find that
app that means that you are not rooted and will need to root again.
Hi Misterjunky
Thank you for your post
I had exact same problem: installed and run ROM manager before read
Instead use the method you method: flash with ODIN. can I use Mobile Odin Lite mentioned here?

Hi everybody,
Amend Script Problem :
I'm a bit confused about Amend Script, my Xperia x10i is unlocked, i got the Oodie CM7, I've flashed it to change roms many times now ! Today i wanted to change the rom, but i can't because of these script (Amend Script is no longer supported...) I don't know why i've got it, i didn't do anything more than before.
I found many thing about that, a little program to convert to Amend Script, i try it, my recovery said 'Update Complete', but the rom was the same... No change. I also saw many weird things that i didn't understand..
So, what is the best way (with details please ) to restore my phone as before ?
Overclocked Kernel Problem :
I've got another problem about Overcloked Kernel, i can't flash them. When i do it my phone stay at kernel Screen then reboot then stay at kernel Screen etc...
Do you have an idea about that ?
So thanks you, and sorry, my english sucks

Are you using cwm recovery? If so use xrecovery (from flashtool). Also not all phones support overclock (my device may be better than one other but worse than another still). It all depends on tolerances on chipset.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I use xrecovery !
For the overclock maybe it's because I got one of the first X10 !
I just put my phone at original rom and root it again, then i reinstall recovery.
Same thing I can't do anything...
Someone got an idea ?
If you are bootloader-unlocked just flash a stock rom kernel (doomkernel/th-kernel)then you would access to xRecovery.
I can access to xrecovery but i can't flash because of amend script ! (cf first post)
Okay ! So, i found a solution this morning. The problem was the version of the recovery put with the latest Doom Kernel.
I'll share my procedure for all having this problem.
1- Put the Sony Stock Rom 2.3 with Pc companion.
2- Root your phone.
3- Install the 0.3 Recovery via Flashtool.
4- Before installing any rom don't flash the kernel. Keep the stock Kernel.
5- You should be able to flash your rom now, do anything you want but install everything (rom, patch, gapps...).
6- After all of that flash your kernel.
7- Now you have your rom, maybe without Wifi, but you can fix by flashing in the recovery (no need amend script for that).
I hope it can help some of you

You can always just change your kernel from flashtool then flash an other rom. No need in going to pc companion.
I am using Sony W8 with stock kernel. When I tried to install the Ginger DX v029, problems occured. I used CWM to install this rom with following steps:
1. Install custom rom -> reboot phone. Unfortunately, my phone got freeze when it booted to the gingerdx icon. I tried to reinstall many times but the problem was not solved.
2. wipe out-> install custom rom-> reboot. This time, the phone can boot to the main menu but the system file "has stop working"
Anyone know about these problems? Please help me!
Can anyone help me pls!!!

Hi everyone !
I have a XT910 and I want to try new ROMs, I've tried MIUI but I didn't like it. So I wanted to try CM9 (CM10 has too many non-working functions that I need) and I've downloaded the one on this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801379
In order to flash MIUI I had to use CWM and apparently CM9 is not compatible with CWM, do I really need to use Safestrap (or BootMenu) ? Because I've read that I might not be able to flash anything else afterwards (I'd like to test Google Now : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224 for example) with Safestrap.
And If I have to use safestrap, how do I get rid of CWM ? I haven't found anything helpful yet...
Thanks
1. If a ROM developer says to use something, use it to flash the ROM unless you are advanced user. So use SS3 like the thread you pointed to says to do.
2. If you install SS3, it includes TWRP. The instructions for flashing Google Now in your other link says to use recovery software to flash like CWM or TWRP. So yes you can flash Google Now using TWRP that is built into SS3.
3. To unistall CWM, go to the thread where you learned how to install it for removal instructions.
4. Once you have SS3 installed you can add more ROMs to test at the same time.
