[Q] How to use clockword mod recovery? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi! Whenever i try to flash a ROM i go into the Android one, not clockword mod recovery. Can someone give me a tutorial/help me? Thanks!

I'm assuming you already used Odin to put CWM on your phone?
You need to press the volume up/down keys + the power button all at the same time to get it to come up.

Sorry if this causes some work, but I never used Odin to put CWM in. A guide would be really nice, if you would spare the time.

Go look at the thread I posted, it has a video with step by step instructions on what you need to do...

I did all of that, but when i goto the download picture Odin does not recognize it, even though im plugged in.

Did you instal Kies?

Yes, i have installed Kies

Nvm, thanks i figured it out!

Is there a difference from doing it that way or just holding my power button down and selecting recovery?

No, but if you're stock I don't think you'll have that option. I suppose it depends on what you flashed to get CWM on your phone in the first place.

Thanks! I just got my phone and have unnamed so that option is there when i hold pwr button. Just wanted to make sure it was the same.

[Q] How to get out of Boot loop

I was trying to install Revolution Rom 2.0(gingerbread) from a 2.2 rom(project v) and after flashing the gingerbread bootloaders using odin, I flashed the rom and kb5 modem though recovery. Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I hear it say converting partition something or other and then it says not enough space.
I think I just soft bricked it since I can still get into download mode using the up volume key and power button and recovery using the volume down key. But it shows no files now in the root file and I can't see my back-ups.
I did save all folders in my root file on my computer just in case.
How do I get back to a working phone?
in order to get into download mode with gingerbread bootloaders yuo have to hold volume up and power
thanks button if i helpled
^ I'm pretty sure he knows that.
Anyway, you can just odin back to stock. Just follow s15274n's guide.

i was following along with the awesome thread for changing my rom on my vzw facinate and got to this step..

This will enter you into the recovery. Then install the zip file you placed on your SD Card. This will make sure all the permissions are set correctly. After that, you should be done!

haha, the joke is on me I am now stuck because I followed the step that I should ODIN the recovery all file, and it seems this is exactly what it's supposed to do... the question is... how do I get out of this screen now? if that is all there is to it, why can't I get to the normal screen on my facinate... :-/

use the soft menu key to get back to "reboot system now"
I had tried that but to no avail... i finally used odin again with out the pit file and so far the phone seems to work complete with android store... dunno what may not be fully working :|, I'd like to know how you install the other zips like the glass lock that looks cool

boot into recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, install zip from sd card.

so the method that I figured would take me into recovery was to hold down the down volume while I powered up... but this just puts me into download target mode. I tried volume up + volume down, but to no avail... finally found the proper combination... on androidforums
Volume +, Volume - finally Power button for about 5 seconds and that shows the samsung logo. I am now in recovery. btw, when I use the home button the screen goes blank instead of showing me the next menu as opposed to using the power button.. :-/
btw... I have now fully recovered it looks like my main problem was that I initally odin'ed the recovery tar file with the pit file (which the instructions didn't tell me to do, but it also didn't tell me not to )
I am quite happy so far with my updated samsung now on PWGB!

Does not boot into clockwork recovery

I have successfully rooted my HTC aria running android 2.2 with sense interface. Now i want to install custom ROMs. I have installed ROM manager and tried installing CM7 but i cannot boot into Clockwork recovery mode. I have tried installing clockwork several times but it doesn't work. I have checked out few other forums but none of them seem specific to my case. Please help!
Do yo phone have a fast boot feature if so uncheck it then reinstall Rom manager then try to reboot into recovery if this help hit the thanx button #)

Did you use Revolutionary on the device? Did it acknowledge that it was successful in flashing custom recovery to your device?
The proper way to reach CWM is to turn the device completely off, then hold down the volume down button and press the power button. From that screen you should select "Recovery" by using volume up/down buttons to move and power button to select. Don't use ROM Manager to install or get to Clockworkmod.
i do not have a fast boot option, thanks for replying though.
If you dont see fastboot.... Then you are not rooted. Try the process again.
You should be able to power off the phone, then hold the down volume button while powering on the phone.
Then you should see fastboot and recovery. If you don't see either, then the root process was unsuccessful.

Well... It looks like what I said worked.
This could have been fixed in one simple post.
Instead, the guy just got the usual runaround.

I'm not trying to start anything here but, I don't see how this could have helped. Fastboot and HBOOT are always in place no matter if you're rooted or not.
DOUCHE!
I havent seen a stock hboot in nearly a year. But no one here asked him to boot into it, hence "how it helped" stop trolling MOD EDIT: REMOVED OFFENSIVE
I suggest that you re-read this thread. I told him how to get to HBOOT before you even posted, yet you attack me for giving him the run around?
sure did.
Not really... If I "attacked" you, then you would be in pain.
Surely you aren't taking this **** THAT seriously.
Let it go, and move on now. I will as well.

CWM, when I try to select any option the text disappears

I flashed a cwm kernel and I can get into it fine. When I select any option on the menu (using the power button) though, my screen goes blank except for the cwm logo in the background.
I googled and saw this occurs some with phones that have trackpads but obviously the gs2 does not. Can anyone give me a tip? I already tried flashing it again, flashing back to stock and flashing cwm a third time.
HOME key... not the power button to execute what you highlighted with the volume +/- buttons.
Reading the entire OP before doing something that can brick your phone FTW.

Of course you didn't, since flashing that will remove CWM from your phone if you had it. That post says NOTHING about CWM because it doesn't install CWM, and in fact will remove it if present.

Getting closer to Rooting the tmobile galxy NOTE

SO i found out how to manually get into Stock recovery on the t mobile version of the galaxy note.
1) While the phone is on just hold down Volume Down + power button for 10-12 second
2) When you feel a light vibration release the power button while still holding down button, and then just hold volume up button as well
( both volume up and down at same time) hold until it show manual mode.
once her it give me the same stock recovery options.
apply update through external sd
apply update through cache
and some other options i don't remember
" what i did"
i tried to flash Superuser binaries by pressing apply update through external sd. It seemed like it was about to go through then it said error invalid signature. When i tried to reboot the screen went completely black and my heart stopped. SOOOOOOO i waited a minute and then just held the power button and it booted up again "PHEWWWWWW"
Just wanted to share my experience as it seems there are alot of people trying to find more info.
Maybe this will help someone get closer to cracking the puzzle
I should be sleeping, since I need to be up in 4 hours for work, but I can't sleep because it's too friggin hot.
Did you have it connected to a comp when you tried this? It should force it into download mode then instead of going to recovery. Theoretically, then it would be a matter of using Odin to push custom recovery and SU.
Unfortunately, it's too damn hot to even fire up my computer, or I would be working on this right now. Well, if nobody has managed to get it by morning, I'll try to work on it while at work.

If it is the torrent one it did not have superuser permissions. I couldn't even use titanium backup.

Get into recovery and flash this file in recovery, i got it from roto, here is his post on how to do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30081450&postcount=34
comfirmed root!
i can confirm that if you have nandroided rotohammers tmobile dump then all you have to do is download the root superuser file and put it somewhere in your sdcard and manually go back to cwm (powering off device and pressing power vol up and vol down once you feel the phone vibrate let go of the power button but keep holding vol up and vol down until you see the cwm screen) then find the file you downloaded earlier flash and once done reboot the phone. "walla" your rooted on att galaxy note with a full Tmobile stock rom.
I can confirm that the TMo Note is easily rooted, almost the exact same way as the ATT version.
These steps all assume you have rooted before and have ODIN installed on your computer. If you have never rooted and don't know what ODIN is, you will need to read up on both before attempting anything or risk bricking your phone. I, or any other member of XDA, am not responsible if you brick your device. Attempt at your own risk.
Step 1: Download Clockwork Recovery tar file found here, select ODIN at top of post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526431
Step 2: Download SU binaries (attached in this post)
Step 3: Open ODIN
Step 4: Connect usb to phone and computer
Step 5: Boot phone into download mode by pressing VOL DOWN+ POWER until phone goes blank and phone vibrates, then release POWER and hold VOL DOWN + VOL UP at same time. Once in download mode, select UP.
Step 6: In ODIN, select PDA and locate the recovery file. Then select Start.
When finished, close ODIN and copy the SU binary zip to the root directory of your internal phone storage.
Reboot into recovery by disconnecting phone from USB and following Step 5 above.
Install SU zip through CWR, you are now rooted. Reboot and update SU binary from app.
I know this can all be found elsewhere, I just wanted to place it in this thread for convenience

Yes, the USB cable does the trick. Found that out by accident myself after I didn't need to use Odin any more.

The at&t phone is put into recovery with the volume and power buttons, but the t-mobile phone needs the usb cable plugged in also to enter recovery.

No, you still need ODIN to install recovery for the rooting process. For that, you have to be in download mode on the phone, not recovery, and you can only get to download mode with the USB cable attached. I think my instructions in my earlier post may have confused some people. I'll have to clean it up later.

I've flashed CM9 & CM10 ROMS and none work. So hang tight on the stock ROM right now. Freeze all the crap with Titanium Backup. Its working well for me so far.
OK, Now that I got rooted, and got wifi tethering working....next step is to wait for a dev to make a rom for t-mobile.
