I've tried RSD lite method but I can't get it to work with the command prompt.
Whenever trying to type in /preinstall/dosu it says nothing is detected.
Tried super one click and it just freezes after starting daemon
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Sure you installed the driver?
If yes, please try another USB port (better power supply)
Wow how does an usb make a difference...
Now I'm trying to install clockwork recovery mode and whenever I try to go into android recovery, I get a screen with an exclamation point in a triangle and an alittle android guy.
Could you provide links to the instructions you are using?
And depending on the computer, which USB port you use could make all the difference in the world. If someone is trying to help you try to be more reciprocal.

Using a different usb port fixed my problem.
But now I'm stuck trying to install clockwork recovery mode.
Thanks for the response guys.
Oh ya, I was able to unlock the boot loader and now when I try to access atrix recovery mode from start up by pressing power and volume up key, I just get starting rsd protocol support.
I can't switch to atrix recovery mode to install clockwork from sd
Hold Volume Down and then power button
Also, try installing recovery through fastboot

Ok I was able to get into the recovery mode but it has only the following options.
Use d-pad to highlight: center to select
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache/partition
I rooted my phone with super one click method and trying this method to get clockwork recovery

I don't have the same recovery mode as the following method.
The method you linked to would only work if you already had a custom recovery.
You have two options.
1. Go to the Android Market and download Rom Manager and install recovery from the app.
https://market.android.com/details?...yLDEsImNvbS5rb3VzaGlrZHV0dGEucm9tbWFuYWdlciJd
2. Or go here and use the instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
I personally recommend option 2. Also, you might need to do some research on the matter as I have read that there is a file that needs to be deleted under certain circumstances. Not sure where though.

Looked through the second method but having a hard time understanding what to do.
Just use option #1 then and once you got it on there you can download one of the zip files from the link in option #2 and install it that way.

I tried the following 3 options:
(i) Using ROM Manager to reboot into recovery
(ii) Holding power button down and selecting recovery
(iii) Rebooting and holding the power button down, with both volume buttons
I dont get it. I even used ROM manager to update latest recovery version but nothing. I used to be able to install specific zip files when using a Team Whiskey ROM earlier but cant since I installed this Axura ROM.
Really appreciate your help.
Figured it out.
Reinstalled the update.zip provided by s15274n for rooting. Got me the custom recovery mode

clockwork has an option to "toggle" or turn off signature verification. i'd select this option and the ROM should flash.
hope that helps!
I dont see that option. how do you get to it?

cwm main screen -> install zip from sdcard -> toggle signature verification
make sure when you select that option, it toggles the signature verification. make sure to toggle the status to off.

common causes for this error are: corrupt ROM downloads or flashing a ROM designed for a different phone or the ROM is scripted incorrectly.
recovery provides more details around the specific error in /tmp/recovery.log
the easiest way i use to access is through adb shell
Code:
cat /tmp/recovery.log
if you want to paste the log file up here with the error, we can help you troubleshoot.
hope that helps!
Try a different recovery. TWRP is what I use and seems to be alot better than CWM
Do you think me not being able to get into recovery mode thru boot might have something to do with the problem?

i wouldn't think the issues are related but it is really hard to say without having physical access to the device what has or hasn't been done.
simple method for access custom recovery:
when you turn on the device with volume down + pwr, it should boot to the white screen, bootloader and present a few options. when you select recovery, it should boot into the custom recovery.
when you follow these steps you don't get a custom recovery? which step is there an error on? what is the error? can you screenshot?
the more detail you're able to provide the better we can help troubleshoot!
When I get in the boot menu and try to go into recovery it doesnt it just reboots the phone. When I first get in boot mode I see some alot of green text and it says sd loading no image PB86DIAG.ZIP and some other stuff

interesting .. the green text and search for the *diag.zip files definitely indicates you are in the bootloader.
my guess as to why it doesn't boot into recovery but reboots the phone must be the error handling. not sure what the exact error is as it doesnt seem to give any output to you.
sounds as if something *might* be corrupted. the best steps at this point would be to reload a custom recovery.
let us know how it goes!

Rom Manager just Released a Updated version of on the market, Try downloading that then ReFlash the Recovery... Also Try to Toggle Verifications like someone else Suggested to you!
A custom recovery like rom manager,etc.,? How do I flash a custom recovery using rom manager?
I flashed cwm recovery using rom manager and toggled the verifications and still cant get into recovery mode. I can however get into recovery if I use the terminal on my cpu
Is there anyway I can start from scratch and re-root my phone?

Just Get ROM Manager from the Market, Open it up, and the Very First option should be Flash Recovery! Select that then when its Done, Select Reboot to Recovery!

I did that and nothing. I there a way I can re-root my phone?
I also notice when I swipe to unlock my phone there is like a small soundtrack playing

After installing .21 when I try to enter recovery mode I get this error. My device is unlocked and not rooted.
And the recovery you flashed was?
I get the same error on my prime. I was on .21 and followed the downgrade to .15 unlock and root procedure. The recovery installed is TWRP
Any help please
Try to flash cwm touch, if that worked then flash twrp with it
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9
I've flashed latest cwm through Rom manager and I still get the same error
Try fastboot. A few months back I unlocked too and I flashed normal cwm and I had the same problem. I fixed it by flashing cwm touch. You could also flash any custom kernel with fastboot.

I downgraded to .15 and flashed CMW again and it worked!!

'adb reboot recovery' ?
On the device?
'su'
'reboot recovery'
Not sure if these wont mess stuff up (recovery bootloop) on the prime. Works fine on my nexus and on my prime, but my prime isnt unlocked.
Last resort: reflash recovery with fastboot

Thank you for your response. I tried su and recovery reboot. It did just a basic reboot. I have also tried fastboot pro to no avail. Doesnt seem to matter what I try, all i can do is a basic reboot. no recovery extremely frustrating.

You may have done this correctly, but just in case.....
Volume down + power
Until you see the three lines of text
Immediately release both buttons and press Volume up
Yup, tried it several times. Problem is I never get the three lines of text. Thanks though.

I was having the same problem with not being able to boot to recovery, if you are still having the issue this is what fixed it for me-- re-flash ClockworkMod Recovery to the non-touch version (v5.8.2.0) and then do the boot:

Hey
I've been trying for about 5 hours now with my mac (main computer) and a small netbook (windows) to fix my phone to no avail
Problem started when I tried to flash a rom and towards the rom finishing installation the phone froze and it all went downhill from there.
First the phone would do an endless boot loop and occasionaly it would go to a picture of a red triangle and red exclamation. Now it stays on CWM recovery and if I reboot, it goes to CWM again. Sometimes I get my mac to recognize the phone in CWM, otherwise it takes forever to get there. Any help would be phenomenal.
What phone, ROM, version of cwm.

ok did the rom flash ever finish successfully?
If not, flash again
if so,
restart to bootloader
open a terminal window on the mac and type fastboot erase cache.
reboot the phone.

you need to enter recovery and reflash the rom.
If you are in CWM Recovery, you can wipe cache from there. Look for the wipe option and afterwards go back to the install option and try to install the rom again. Hopefully you checked the MD5 checksum for the rom you downloaded.

reflash the rom the way you did it the first time.
if you're doing AHRD don't press the touch screen use the volume and power buttons to move through the menus
Why would you need to? I am assuming that you downloaded a rom, checked MD5, and then copied it over to your phone's internal SD Card. When you select install from within recovery, you need to scroll and select the file you want to flash. After selection, Aroma Installer will start and you simply follow the prompts.

I got the phone from a friend with 2 roms so I personally never put them there. In the process of messing up my phone I delete all the roms that were in the phone. when i go to "install zip from sdcard" there are 2 options : 0/ and clockworkmod/

Stay calm first. Its not too big. İnstall adb drivers on windows and plug your phone. Enter recovery. Mounts and storage. Usb connect. Then youll be connected to the pc. Copy new roms. And just try. İf its wont work, then try flashing kernel for your android version and phone. One of custom roms must be installed succesful.
Hi Folks
I have an old Galaxy S3 i9300 I'm attempting to resurrect. There's nothing on it (I can't remember what was last done with it or when I last used it). I'm trying to flash a bootloader through ODIN but I can't enter download mode on the phone. It comes up with the warning screen, if I try to press volume up nothing happens. Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks
Does the volume key work? Try booting to recovery to test.
Download mode is an entirely separate and secure partition, if that is corrupt then you are unlikely to resurrect the phone.

Well I've been able to flash recovery using ODIN, but I can't get into recovery to load the ROM without the volume up key.. Any ideas?
I was hoping to be able to flash CM11 using ODIN, if that's possible. It doesn't like .zip files. Is there a download source for .tar.md5 versions that can be loaded through ODIN?
Thanks again
Fix the button, adb command to reboot to recovery might work in download mode but you'll have to research.
You can't flash custom rom via Odin.
