[Q] (Help) How to install CWM ?? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could anyone tell me how to install CWM recovery on the GT-I9100G ???
I've rooted it and it has Superuser but it doesn't have CWM... (It has the Download mode)
How can I install it ?? Please...

Go to the development section and find a kernel meant for I9100G which includes CWM recovery, then flash it.
From a quick look, [KERNEL][2.3.5][03-01-2012]superatmos v2.0 ONLY for *I9100G* and [KERNEL][I9100G][2.3.5]MyGKernel - CWM5, Root, CIFS.

How can I flash it If I don't have CWM recovery ??

Not so hot at reading eh?

There's other ways too, but I'm sure with those great searching and reading abilities, you'll find them soon enough.

No.. Actually didn't know how to use Odin !! But now I do...

find your build number and find the corresponding cf root kernel
and download Odin
and your phone on download mod and connect itto the computer
and flash the kernel via pda.
and it will have the cwm

AFAIK there are no CF-Root I9100G kernels.

So to access CWM recovery i have to press (Volume Down + Home + Power) or what ??

Maybe someone with more patience and tolerance will jump in and give you the answer, or maybe you'll figure it out yourself. Which will it be? I guess time will tell.

No because I did this and It sent me to download mode again !!
But I installed ROM Manager and it sent to the Recovery...

Rom manager may or may not work properly on the SGS2, mostly not.
To get into recovery, its home+vol UP + power.

My Device is stuck on the bootscreen with the yellow triangle after Flashing this using CWM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1168836
How can i restore it ??

Oh man, why after all that did you decide to flash a ROM meant for the I9100 on your I9100G? You're lucky you didn't do more harm, since it even includes a kernel (Siyah) which is also only for the I9100. Anyway, my patience ran out about 6 posts back.

So what can i do ??!

Ah, that's too bad man.. I'm guessing you most probably can't access CWM, if you did in fact install that.
It was meant ONLY for the I9100, not the I9100G. Your best bet is going to download mode and installing an official Samsung ROM via Odin. I suppose.
Then doing the usual yabba-yabba to get your phone rooted again. This time make sure not to install stuff not meant for your phone..

Take out the battery. Before putting it back in, hold down the Volume Down and Home buttons. Then press the power button. Let go of the power button, but keep the others held down. You should now be in Download mode.

In Download mode... Can I flash Lite'ning ROM ?? Does it Support I9100G ??

Right now I'd just concentrate on getting the phone back in working condition... install an official Samsung ROM to start with, then start tinkering with custom stuff. And be sure to read everything very, very carefully.

Is there any Custom ROM with root that I can flash directly without going back to the stock ROM ???

Try flashing N.E.A.K. or another kernel tar package in ODIN while you have your phone in download mode.
That should fix your CWM recovery.

ok step by step, i had checkrom on my phone and flashed the new criskelo rom on my phone 4.0.3 LPQ for testing it, and flashed it with cf root 5.4
but after testing i wanted to get back to checkrom and now i have this problem that i can't flash any other kernel! only CF-Root is working , with any other kernel i em ending at the "Triangle"..phone is not booting any more
Really, ICS and GB is going crazy. Flash stock, kernel, flash cf root kernel, then flash newest kernel to fix sd card issue, etc... Since ICS was updated on sgs2 everywhere just problem, not booting, not installing, etc. Really, really big pain.
I dunno man what could solve you problem. I'm gonna search in all threads to find some useful information, if I will, I will post here, should be somewhere answer. LOL, best of luck.

do you wipe cache and dalvik before you flash a different kernel? and maybe format system when you go into recovery might help...and next time make backups

Any more details?
Such as exact phone model (GT-I9100/T/M/...), firmware version (ROM/PDA/kernel), what rooting method have you used, etc.
If you can boot into download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power), then you can flash another kernel (such as CF-Root) with Odin to your phone.
Good luck !
GT-I9100 thats the only thing i know. i cant even open the phone only (Volume Down + Home + Power) is working i tried that but is not working. i used kernel method i tried almost ever thing but nothing works. im from asia

That happened to me. Make sure you do the volume down+ home+ power right to enter the download mode, then flash the CF or Siyah kernel with Odin v1.7 (not v1.85).
See if it boots from there. You may need to flash some firmware (PDA) with Odin once you see it boots.
Good luck
Thanks man its working now
help me please, frozen sgs2 after rooting

Let's go slow.
You managed to flash something via ODIN? Or it failed?
Since you rooted it (same as first guy), I guess it flashed so Odin detects the phone and is able to flash, right?
Explain the exact problem. What are you trying to flash?
Try downloading Siyah kernel for Odin, or Dream kernel for Odin to flash it and make it boot. If not, download an official firmware and try.
Anyway, reply the 2 bold questions.

May I ask what did you do to root before it froze?
It's weird, but at least it flashes, so you still can flash an stock firmware to get back your phone.
Maybe this one (4.0.3 so you stay away from emmc harrd-brick bug and don't blame me in case it bricked) http://www.hotfile.com/dl/161662205/363dea0/I9100UHLPS_I9100AROLP4_ARO.zip.html
Good luck
what else can i do?
By the way, now that you have Dream kernel, try booting in recovery (turn it off, then volume up + home + power hold until it gets on, then release power until you get to recovery)

You didn't mess up with a i9100 ROM instead of i9100G ROM or kernel for rooting, did you?
When did it freeze. After rooting (you made sure it booted afterwards?) or after Jelly Bean installation?

You did some **** that you shouldn't have done without reading first. If you had done any damn research you would know why the i9100 screen pops up. And it isn't because your phone thinks its an i9100.

No one can help you unless you provide enough useful information about what you have done. You should have read and learned enough to avoid making a mistake in the first place, but if you will tell us what you have done, maybe you'll get some help. What exactly did you flash with Odin? Provide a link to it? You did not get the warning on boot from flashing stock. What method did you use to try to enter download mode? To try to enter Recovery?

That's not a galaxys2root produced file. That is the straight stock Kies file which they downloaded from SamFirmware or Samsung Updates. That didn't cause the problem.
You say you can now not enter either download mode or recovery?
Don't do a wipe data with that installed if you do get into recovery!

I'm not sure why your phone is having problems. You should be able to just flash stock and start over. If it were my phone, I would flash UCKH7 stock plus root, install a Gingerbread custom kernel, and then pick a firmware from the development forum. If you choose to follow that path, be sure to open the Oden window first before putting your phone into download mode. If you need additional information, there is plenty of help in the guides and threads linked in my signature.

Did you flash a custom kernel and then flash a new rom?

[Q]I need help. Did I break my phone?

I flashed the wrong kernal and now when it boots up it's a black screen. Help? And yes i'm a noob.
The only thing it shows in the beginning is a battery.
When I go to system recovery it's Android system recovery.

Download a stock firmware from there. Any will do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
Download the Galaxy S3 Toolkit and install it and the Samsung drivers (found inside the toolkit folder once installed, under drivers)
Power off the phone
Hold down the Volume down button, the home button (middle bottom of the phone) and the power button until you are seeing the Download Mode screen.
Open Odin, from the Toolkit. Clock PDA and load the firmware you downloaded.
Touch NOTHING else adn click start
After that you should have a stock firmware.
Alternatively, you can download a stock kernel and use Odin to flash that in the same way.

Touch NOTHING else adn click start
After that you should have a stock firmware.
Alternatively, you can download a stock kernel and use Odin to flash that in the same way.

Where can I find a stock kernal for T-mobile Gs3
There are no carrier specific kernels, just version specific. Imho, just install Siyah 1.5 or something to get your phone up and running, see what version it is, then download the stock kernel for it.

Surely you could have just restored your Nandroid backup?, If you didn't make one then you deserve all the grief you got.

Big advice for you: go out of the international S3 forum!

[Q] Can't get into recovery

Dear users,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300 T-Mobile version).
I know I have to post this in the developers part, but somehow I can't post there (I have no permission?).
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and I'm stuck on the custom recovery part.
When I flashed it sucessfully, I disconnected my usb, pulled out my battery (as I should). Then, I tried getting into recovery mode (volume up, power + home button at the same time).
I get a samsung logo with GALAXY SIII (and GT-9300), with a little red dot on the upper-left corner. When I keep holding the buttons, the screen goes black and the logo re-appears. When i realease everything it'll freeze on this screen, and when I hold the power button it will just reboot (to my phone, nothing goes wrong then).
I should see some blue text at the top of my screen, and then a custom clockwork should appear. But no, I don't.
Can anyone help me? I can't get into recovery mode now.
Thanks!
can you get to download mode volume down+power+homebutton
if yes then flash a stock Rom and it should be fine
also this is the right place to post

Yes, I can get into download mode.
The problem is that I want to root my device, and the guide tells me that I need clockworkmod custom recovery.

What do you mean CF auto root?
And where can I find such a stock rom? Sorry I'm a noob at rooting and flashing. Will this erase my data? Because I just performed a new install.
If your phone still boots normally into Android, you don't need to flash another rom.
Search for the CF Auto Root thread on XDA and follow the instructions to flash that...

You can get SuperSU from the play store
It might say I9300 but the link you post says .
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2046439
IS NOT REPEAT NOT for this phone it says Verizon Galaxy S III Android Development
How far in bricking your phone by following those instructions have you gone ??
Do you try flashing a stock rom via Odin or just pay for a new motherboard .
You either do not have an I9300 and have possibly bricked your phone or you are in the wrong forum if you have Verizon Galaxy S III .

Do you have t mobile UK or are you state side?

I didn't brick my phone (yet), I just couldn't get into the recovery, but I reflashed the stock recovery, I can now get back into it thanks to someone who gave me a link to an auto-root feature.
I have root access, superSU and stock recovery, everything works fine. Flash counter reset to 0.
Thanks guys!
P.S for the one who asked: I have a GT-I9300 T-mobile (Holland, The Netherlands). Where can I get the clockworkmod/TWRP anyway (if i want a custom recovery?)

i9300 is the short name of GT-i9300
and your provider is a sim card so it's fine

Ok, and I won't see any difference to my phone or something will brick? (except the change of the recovery, are you sure this is the right one?)
And when i got this clockworkmod custom recovery, can I change boot animations and stuff?

Follow the links. You can see at the post if they're in the right device forum or not.
Or just take yourself directly to the international i9300 development forums and find them there.
