Hello all
I am having a small issue with GTab
I can reboot into recovery every time from the power and volume+ combination, but sometime will not reboot if I go to the menu and reboot (power-off) menu, or if I go into CWM ROM Manger and reboot to recovery. sometimes I get the in and other time just reboots everything comes up. just like rebooting from the menu at time quicker..
I am running CWM v.8 Vegtab 7.1.0
now I believe this start after I flashed from CWM ROM Manger the a version CWM .. can remember the version (sorry ) screen was Orange and had the logo CWM in the center.. this is when I noticed the problem, then I reflashed back to V.8 thinking that would fix the problem and it did not.
I hoping this make sense I know it not world stopping or fun stopping, but it is a pain..
hoping someone had seen this problem before.. and could give me some direction to look at
Jim
1. Using the Power and Vol + key is the recommended method to boot into recovery. Avoid using the other methods.
2. Uninstall ROM Manager. It works fine on phones, but, is known to cause problems on the gTab.
3. Make sure both your ROM and your CWM are built for your bootloader (1.1 or 1.2). Since you said you have VEGAn-Tab 7.1.0, you can find out the version of your bootloader using the info. in this thread.
Suggestions:
1. Copy the zip file in post #3 of this thread to the SD card and then "install" it (once) using CWM.
2. If you're on a 1.1 bootloader, these CWM versions are available: CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 and CWM-4.0.1.5
If you have the 1.2 bootloader install one of these CWM versions: CWM-3.0.2.8 or CWM-4.0.1.5. All are available on this board. Do a search.
thanks rajeevvp
I am using bootloader 1.1
every step worked great.. you are cool android person..
went with CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 since that what I had in the first place
Are there any pluses going to CWM-4.0.1.5?
thanks for your help again..

I like that it tries to use the external SD card first and only then falls back to using the internal one for backups, restores and update.zip installs. Other than that and the new menu colours, there aren't a lot of externally visible differences.
More info. in this thread.
rajeevvp,
thanks for the information.. about version of CWM.. I think I found the one that will not work with the reboot menu "power off" menu.. I have installed CWM-4.0.1.5 and tried the menu option and also running GScript to reboot in recovery mode and will not do it all the time with 4.0.1.5.
what happen is that is just boots normal, which is not a bad thing.
and I know you do not like the idea of going into recovery mode without doing the power and volume + method.
just thought you would like to know what I found out.
thanks again for all your help..
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?

I didn't understand this. Are you saying that CWM-4.0.1.5 does not do "Reboot recovery" correctly everytime? And the ROM also? Both should usually work (but, I don't recommend it) on the 1.1 bootloader.
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?
Click to expand...

No need. Erase misc only if you get stuck on the 3 birds or if you go into a reboots-into-recovery loop--both of which are unlikely given your CWM (bekit-0.8 or 4.0.1.5) and bootloader (1.1) versions.
rajeevvp,
Sorry for the late Reply..
only it I use Gscript reboot to recovery, Menu from the shutdown .. Select reboot and then either reboot or reboot recovery.. if I am using CWM-4.0.1.5 with VegenTab 7.1.0
I can always go in to recovery mode from the volume and power button combination.
using bekit-0.8 I can get it to reboot into recovery from anywhere..
yes, I thought it was werid too..
thanks for all your help
Jim
I don't recommend doing "Reboot to recovery" using any tool--GScript, the ROM option, or the CWM menu item. Your tablet may "hang" at the 3 birds splash screen or go into a "always-reboot-into-recovery" boot loop.

Hi guys,
I just downloaded Rom Manager today. I was successful with "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery'. I wanted to flash Nero v3. I rebooted the phone by holding both volume buttons and power button at the same time. I get into the
2e recovery (blue screen). But I read that i needed to be in the green recovery screen to flash the rom. Also someone in the forum said try, 'reinstalling packages', but that didn't do anything. After a few times trying to reinstalling packages, i noticed that Titanium backup and Superuser Permissions FC all the time.
I'm not sure what I did wrong? Did I over do it with the reinstall packages? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks inadvance.
Push the nero v3 rom to the root of ur sd card, and then select the install rom from sd card option from ROM manager and select the file and thats it..the phone boots into recovery and the flashing starts..

He's asking how to go into Clockwork first haha, your idea may work, but sometimes, it needs to go into the regular blue screen recovery no matter what to go into the clockwork.

Check your SD Card, be sure you have a zip called update.zip, thats where the clockwork is stored.
What exactly is happening when you press reinstall packages? like nothing?
Usually, mine does this it boots into the blue screen recovery then i select reinstall packages, then it reboots back to blue screen, and this time when i press reinstall packages, it turns black for half a second and then goes into clockwork.
If you could explain it in more detail of whats happening, then i'd be happy to help you, it may be that your update.zip is corrupted?
try the idea of the guy above as well, it might help.

UPDATE
I ended up having to odin back to stock, rooted, download Rom manager and 'flashclockwork recovery. I was then able to flash to nero 3 with voodoo!
Okay, im trying to flash custom recovery on my Optimus one [Stock 2.2] Rooted with Z4root [permanent].
First step is to donload 3 files
Kernel and the 2 files from this thread.
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
I've unzipped flash_image.zip and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img.zip at the root of my SDcard [empty one, 2GB] And put there the kernel.zip [as it was!]
I opened a terminal on my Optimus one and writed down the commands from the topic i've found above.
Now im stuck at
Code:
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
after typing this command i get a message over and over again that says "cannot read from location" or ""no such file or directory"" or something like that.
Anyone can guide me step by step ? I dont get it how the whole procedure must be done :/
That step is not required,it has something to do with "sticking" the recovery so it won't revert to the original.You can safely continue on to the next step
So i just ignore it, right?
Is there a risk on bricking my phone on flashing as far as i know.
Except my mistake, on what else does it depend that?
I did all theese steps and my phone restarted on Stock Rom settings with everything wiped out :S
[i have a backup of apps with titanium backup and vcf contacts etc etc..]
... but... WTF! :S
any help?
Please tell us in more detail what steps you have done.
Also, if you only want to install custom recovery, what do you need a "kernel.zip" for?
Which kernel is it, where did you get it from?

Ι did exactly the steps from this topic
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
i ignoring as i said on my first post the message "no such file or directory"
after typing a command as NikolaMK told me to just ignore that.
After typing EXACTLY theese commands, phone restarted as i expected but with fresh stock rom!
[the kernel is the one with the cpu on touch fix.]
It restarted, but were you able to enter the custom recovery? When the phone is off, press vol down + home + power until you see the LG Splash screen.
Copy the flashimage.zip and extracted flashimage both to sd and do the steps again.
Also do the same with thunder zip.

It restarted but i didnt keep them off as far as i remember or didnt hold them for so long as it needed.
So in conclusion, if i dont keep them pressed, i lose chance on going onto custom recovery? Or not?
by the way, for safety i had zips extracted [except the one having the kernel i wanted to flash afterwards.]
Need as simple instructions as you can guys, im very conservative this time because i just have 1 week my phone right after repaired from last bricking.
I find it strange that your phone had the settings wiped after flashing the custom recovery.
I flashed it myself last Saturday, and all went well. Here's what I did:
Root phone using z4root
Install Terminal Emulator
Copy flash_image and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to SD
Perform the steps in the androidforums thread.
Now, I also expected the phone to boot into the recovery when issuing the command "reboot recovery", but it didn't. It booted normally, but there was no wipe, all my settings were still there. On we go:
Turn off phone
Press Vol-Down, Home and Power at the same time and don't let go until the recovery has booted. If you've done that and only thing happening was the settings wipe, something has gone wrong while flashing the custom recovery, and you're still on stock recovery.
Maybe you should MD5 check the recovery.zip you downloaded and try flashing it again.
Try placing flashimage.zip, extracted folder of flashimage.zip, and also contents from extracted folder, all on to the sd along with thunderg zip and start typing the commands on terminal emulator.
Also make sure u have rooted the phone first.
This should do the trick.
There is a video on YouTube showing the steps.I've never seen the whole video before,but I think it will be of much help Try it!
1) Phone is z4root-rooted.
2) i have all needed combination of files on my SD Card meaning: Folder contents of zip, root of card zips, unzipped on root, etc etc... so the commands can "See" the files no matter what.
3) it rebooted without custom recovery installed.
If i press the button combo without having installed custom recovery, what do i get?
I'd like to see the video AsherChua mentioned above.
I had a similar problem as you, I had to use the custom recovery from here
NOTE: THIS IS WHAT I USED, IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR PHONE

???????
I believe you're supposed to go to the recovery for default android.. I went to it once possibly by accident and never figured out how to 'enter' while I was in it. up/down is still the volume key but I didn't know how to use confirmation.
Let's suppose im doing the same steps again as on my 1st post
BUT ....
after phone freezes and right as soon as it gets black screen, i push the button combo, it will work, right?
Was my fault for not pushing theese keys after the reboot message of terminal?
Is it obligated to do this?
I think what you get when you press the 3-button combo without having custom recovery installed, is a memory wipe/factory reset/whatever you wanna call it.
My guess, that's what happened to you.
If you have sucessfully installed custom recovery you can enter it WHENEVER YOU WANT! Just turn the phone off, when it's off press the 3 buttons and keep them pressed. Works for me. If it doesnt for you, my only explanation would be that for some reason you didnt succeed in flashing the custom recovery and are still on stock one.
When you entered the line "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img", did it take a while before the cursor reappeard so you could enter the next line?
i dont remember if it took a while for the cursor or it was instant.
If i press the key combo vol_down + home + power while turned off without custom recovery, nothing happens, right?
I dont want to risk for 3rd time of a wipe :/
It's boring to install again tbackup and restoring everything from scratch! :/
If you press it without Custom Recovery it will wipe again !
(EDIT) Found this on FascinateForums.com ( Originally Posted by bhfd64 )and decided to share since I haven't found anything "as in depth". This is to go from OTA ED01 Update and reinstall ROOT and CWM 2.5.1x
I had an issue trying other ways of always returning to blue recovery, so thought this would help those with the same issue.
Downloads:
Download Samsung drivers from HERE.
Download Odin (computer program) from HERE.
Download ClockworkMod Recovery from HERE. (place this file somewhere on your computer where you can easily locate it).
Download "update.zip" file from HERE. (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders).
Download "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file from HERE. (place this file on the root of your sdcard...not within any folders).
Instructions:
1. Install Samsung drivers on your computer.
2. Open Odin on your computer. (You may need to disable antivirus programs for this to work properly)
3. Power off your phone and remove the battery.
4. Plug the stock USB cord which came with your phone into a powered USB port on your computer (usually on the back of the CPU).
5. Press and hold the "volume down" button on your phone, and continue to hold it while plugging the USB cord into your phone. This will put your phone into download mode. You'll see a large yellow triangle on the screen of your phone. You will also see one of the small boxes in Odin turn yellow, as well as "Added" appearing in the message box.
6. Press the PDA button in Odin (NOT the PHONE button) and navigate to the cwr-all.tar file you downloaded earlier.
7. Press START. When this process has finished, you'll be notified in Odin (succeeded 1/failed 0) and your phone screen will go blank.
8. Unplug your phone and re-insert battery.
9. Press and hold BOTH volume buttons and the power button simultaneously. Hold all three until you see "SAMSUNG" appear. This will boot your phone into recovery. If your text is red, then you're already in ClockworkMod (CWM) Recovery and you can skip the rest of this step. If the recovery menu is blue, then you're in stock recovery. Use the volume rocker to navigate down to "apply sdcard:update.zip" and select using the "Home" softkey. This will take you to CWM Recovery (red text menu). If your phone does not boot into recovery here, just pull the battery or wait for it to boot up and then power it down and try this again. It may take a couple tries for you to get it right.
10. When you see the red text and "CwM Voodoo Lagfix Recovery 2.5.1x" at the top, use the volume rocker to navigate down to "Wipe data/factory reset." Press the power button to select, and then navigate to yes, and press the power button again to select. Do this 3 times.
11. Scroll down to "Wipe cache partition," use power button to select, and then highlight and select "Yes." Do this 3 times.
12. Scroll down to "advanced" and then select "Wipe dalvik cache." Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select. Do this 3 times.
13. Press the "Menu" softkey to return to the previous menu in CWM Recovery.
14. Navigate down to "Install zip from sdcard." Highlight it and press the power button to select.
15. Navigate to "choose zip from sdcard" and select.
16. Navigate to the rooted "su-2.3.6.1.x.zip" file that you downloaded earlier, and select it. Scroll to "Yes," and use power button to select.
17. When you're advised of completion, press the "Menu" softkey to go back to the previous CWR screen, then highlight and select "reboot system now."
At this point your phone will reboot and you'll be rooted with fully bloated ED01 Froyo. Open up your app drawer. You should see an app called "SuperUser". If it's there, you're done! Now you can think about possibly moving on to a custom ROM and/or kernel.
Don't break your phone! It's not my prob if you do! Good Luck, This did work and I am going good!

The reason that people are getting back to stock recovery after flashing CWM is because stock recovery re-asserts itself if a custom kernel is not flashed. Whenever you Odin back to stock and flash CWM afterwards, you should ALWAYS flash a custom kernel in CWM before booting to the OS, otherwise the change in recovery won't keep.

This is important information. Unfortunately none of the HOWTO threads on installing CWM mention this in the instructions and it took me hours to even become aware that this was what was happening to me. I haven't yet figured out how to remedy the problem but at least I know what it is now. Strangely I don't think I had any problem getting CWM to stick after flashing EB01 a while back.
The original instructions on FF have been updated somewhat. Among other things the wiping steps seem to not be necessary for just getting root. Here's the link. About to try this but with CWM3.

This is from original thread by Adrynalyne.
Note: Keep in mind that once you Odin CWR to ED01, you MUST also flash a kernel, or rom containing a kernel to replace the stock one, or it will revert you.
I spent days working on this issue of reverting back to stock recovery. I can tell you SSJ is absolutely correct, it is all about the kernel. Anytime you flash a stock kernel, whether it be in an ODIN package or flashing a stock kernel or a ROM that includes a stock kernel in CWM, the stock kernel will revert you back to stock blue (2e) recovery. From my experience and speaking with others, this only happens on nonvoodoo because obviously there are no stock voodoo kernels, they are all custom. You can flash the current CWM and it will stick through flashing modems in ODIN, and themes, patches, and mods in CWM. But as soon as you flash a stock kernel, you have to reflash the current CWM. So follow SSJ's advice and immediately flash a custom kernel if you are running nonvoodoo. My apologies to the OP that this is off topic from the thread. Just wanted to share the info I learned from days of previous testing.

He seems to have added that in the ED01 thread in the last few hours but in most of the recent Clockwork threads they don't mention this which is surprising.
I'm afraid I screwed up and would appreciate your help. My newly purchased Photon is stuck in reboot loop. It reaches the end of Sprint graphics and then immediately reboots.
What I've done:
1) Rooted the phone
2) Unlocked bootloader
3) Flashed 2.3.4-4.5.1A Stock ROM
4) Flashed CWM
----- phone was still OK at this point -------
5) Flashed Home Base ROM 1.7B ext4
------phone wouldn't boot properly --------
6) Reflashed 2.3.4-4.5.1A Stock ROM through RSDLite
What I've tried:
1) Different USB port
2) Taking out the battery for 5 minutes
3) Flashing CM3 Stock ROM
The end result is the same. RSDLite completes, saying "manually power up your phone", but the phone is just stuck in the loop.
Thanks for your help.
Make sure you wipe data/cache/ etc. before flashing ROMs.
Next time please post in the General section.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the wrong section.
Can you please clarify about clearing cache/data/etc. I've done it before flashing Home Base (also HB ROM does it during install anyway). If you mean to do it before flashing through RSDLite, how do I do so if CWM is no longer there?

remove the battery put back in then press vol down and power till you see fastboot at the top of the screeen..scroll down till you see android recovery. once that is visible press the up key it will start recovery and you will see tux with a triangle...from there press both vol keys to get into the recovery. from there you will be given similar options to that of cwm. do a full wipe

sorry to bring up an old thread and in the wrong section but what to do if the android recovery option and safe mode option do not work?
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

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 have tried holding the power and volume down button to no avail. I have tried, ROM manager as well as goo manager and it only leads me to the dead droid on his back. I dont know what else to try. I have spent the days looking for answers on the web as well as here and am needing some help please.

'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.

Whats fastboot pro?

fastboot pro is just another app I assumed would help me boot into recovery mode.
I cant believe I'm the only person to experience this. Any help is appreciated.

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:
Volume down + power
Until you see the three lines of text
Immediately release both buttons and press Volume up
Good luck.
