I'm having the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Well, you can find backups of most models on the forum. If you want to make your own, it will take some studying. I recommend meticulus's partition dump tool over in the development thread, exelent for someone who doesn't want to do a bunch a adb shell or terminal emulator. here is the link. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1450149

Well, an easy way to get CWM is flash a Kernel that is for your version of Galaxy Player. Look on the Development page and you will find a kernel that suites your needs. Very simple to do using Odin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0imhKnMtQ9A
You need to flash a kernel that includes CWM and do a backup in that. Don't use ROM Manager.
CWM Recovery
In the development forms for the Player, there is a CWM flashable .tar you an use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445840
I used Odin (not my favorite program, but it works) and the flash took a total of 3 seconds. CWM will be installed and you can make a Nandroid for the player. Best of luck.

hi. based on the link, I tried flashing Entropy's kernel, but I can't seem to find the .tar file. I assume that this was what i had to download:-
File Type: tar DD_01142012.tar - [Click for QR Code]
but when I get it, it appears as an extractable winrar file. So I extracted it and got the zImage file, which doesn't have the .tar
Firstly, is that the right file to download?
secondly, if it is the right one, do i extract it or just flash it as it is?
i am using Odin btw. Just rooted my SGP 5.0 using superoneclick

Buddy i already told that 7zip just puts in tar format but do not convert the files in the tar components(Mdem,etc)
You might explain what you are trying to achieve by putting a zip into a tar .
Are you trying to make a CWM zip file flash-able via Odin .
jje
Can it be done ?
Lol, that sounds cool. Anyway, I think I'll keep flashing tars with odin and zips with CWM because what you sugest scares the **** out of me. Anyway I'll keep reading this thread out of curiosity.
so your trying to make an update.zip file into an odin.tar file to flash in pda?
I think he ment if you download (for example) new clockwork recovery version in zip format (ment for flashing thru phone recovery) can it be transformed into .tar (ment for flashing thru odin) !
I would also like to know this.

Tar To Zip
I dont know why you are trying to flash a zip via odin by converting it CWM works just fine if u have the latest kernel. I did find some old cwm kernels were not seeing zip files on my sd card make sure you have the latest. From here K13 or k14 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 bottom of the page worked for me.
im curious about this, ever since i rooted and flashed my kernel, i cant properly install ANY CWM roms. on aborts drring verification. I was consierding repacking the ZIP and flashing with ODIN.... just annoying i cant flash any of my roms
Thats usual if CWM is 3e not 4e .
jje
I would also like to know if its possible to repack cwm .zip file into ODIN .tar?? Why? I dont want to have root. I tried with yaffey-v0.2 but for now, no luck.
Only problem is to make a working system.img. Tar package can be done with commands in cygwin or in Samsung tool kit...
Help anybody??

You are in the S2 Forum here. Which version of odin and which FW are you trying to flash? Whats the error message you get?
Yes it can be done and it's pretty easy to do. Google is you're friend. I've converted devil recovery and also modems and all work fine with odin.
I have a retail galaxy tab 10.1 16gb and was wondering how do I flash the newest clockwork recovery touch .img? From what I understand we don't have access to fastboot and doing the method on terminal emulator doesn't work either. Is their another option to do it without having to go to rom manager and purchasing the touch recovery
You could tar it and flash the new tar with Odin. Also, you can find cwm in pershoot's blog and flash it with Odin, sans the "tar it" part.

Well koush finally released a new version so trying to get the touch version of it installed.
I'm using a CM9 ROM, it has ROM Manager included and I can flash cwm touch without problem and free of charge (cwm touch works well).
Anyway, I made a .tar.md5 from the recovery.img of cwm touch and tried to flash it via Odin, but Odin crashes when is doing the analysis of the file. If you want I can upload it, maybe it works for you (the error is non descriptive, so I don't know what's wrong).
I think you might have to rename the touch img to recovery.img but thats what was my next plan of action. I have Rom Manager premium and yet I don't find any way to select the img itself besides selecting I want to pay for it.

Do you mean for the .tar.md5 for Odin? Because i did.
Edit: Damn! I don't know what I did wrong, maybe the download was bad =/ but I tried again and now works fine for me. You can flash this with Odin: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-p4wifi
Thank you for that link to the odin recovery!
Hey guys
Well im new to this page and i have a galaxy player 5.0. Im have succesfully rooted it but i have trouble flashing a custom recovery.
I have downloaded ROM manager but when it asks for my phone model im cant find it on the list. I have chosen Galaxy S 4G because i thought it was closer to this model.
Im sorry if there was a answer out there and didnt find it but i have some trouble finding stuff with the search function and cat understand some terms that are used by more experienced people
Sorry for my english its not my native language
Thanks in advance
You don't actually have to have ROM manager to flash stuff, bit you DO need a kernel with cwm. Get the one appropriate for your device (us or international). Then reboot into recovery (hold down power + up or use an app) and install your zip from there.
Hope that helps!

Thanks, But where can i find a kernel for my device and now if its US or international, and what is it?
Mine is the international version
Just search this:
[KERNEL][CWM][OC&UV] rj's custom kernel for Galaxy Player 5.0 INTL (YP-G70) r14
Download the appropriate software (Odin, kies, drivers.) and follow the directions carefully.
Don't use rom manager.
Thanks. I downloaded the Kernel. It has 2 files in it. One is called zImage and the other one is a folder called META.INF
As i have understanded in the instructions i should open Odin3 and and select PDA and select a file but i dont know wich. and when i open and browse to the folder where the 2 files are on i just find the folder called META.INF
Help Me please!!!

You have to flash the zimage under pda
I dont understand. Could you give me a step by step on how to do this??
1.download rj kernel r2
2. Put your device in download mode(device turned off hold down button and plug in USB cable immediately) you should see an android with yellow triangle
3.open odin 3
4.under PDA Choose rj kernel r2(zimage)
5.Press start in Odin
6. You have now successfully flashed your first kernel
OK thanks i flashed the kernel already
Now how do i acces CWM while in recovery mode?
Also i have also installed Gingerbread After installing my kernel. Does this mean my kernel has been erased??
Thanks in advance
Oh, I thought you already had gingerbread installed.
Well on the US YP-G70 to access CWM, while the device is off, hold the volume UP button + power button. Let go of power button when you see the samsung logo. Try it.
IF CWM recovery comes up you should still have the kernel because CWM comes with the kernel.
goodluck
No, I have just installed gingerbread using the same method as trying to install a kernel but out of curiosity.
My device is now on gingerbread 2.3.6 it is unrooted and doesnt have the kernel installed
How can i root gingerbread? superoneclick doesnt work and i triede Z4root and gingerbreak
And does the latest rj kernel have CWM installed?
Thanks in advance

Do not flash a incorrect recovery, at best you will softbrick.
Most of the time- you loose your device.
Hello bro...
I have a phone . It's model is SHW-M250K and is currently running Android GingerBread 2.3.6 in galaxy s2 i9100.
I want to root and instal cwm in my phone (and if possible upgrade it ). my signal not work well.
I would really appreciate your help if you can refer me to a useful tutorial, as I have found none.
Thanks so much!

This tutorial always works on stock Gingerbread 2.3.x:
1- Download "siyah-2.6.14-CWM.zip" and extract the .tar file using any archiver.
2- Flash the .tar file using ODIN 1.85 (first, put your phone into download mode by turning it off and pressing Volume down + home button + Power button), and you need to select the PDA field for the .tar file.
You are now rooted on stock 2.3 and you have CWM which can possibly flash some new ROMs but notice that if you want to flash 4.4 KitKat ROMs, you need to upgrade your recovery to latest CWM 6.0.4.7 (6.0.4.5 should work too). Good luck

The file to be flashed through ODIN (after extraction of course): http://gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar
You know the drill: Extract, flash with ODIN, enjoy a rooted phone with CWM 5.x.x.x which is quite-too-old now, and I don't see how one can fail using the method. Anyway, go for "update.zip" by simply googling update.zip for gingerbread 2.3 rooting and you should be able to flash that file from recovery with superuser app installed (worked for me on stock recovery back then)
My Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-I727 is stuck in a bootloop and I'm trying to make a backup of my data, as I am getting a new phone on Monday (woo, finally an upgrade!). It seems from my limited knowledge and research that the best way to do this would be to flash CWM recovery. The problem is, when I download the CWM recovery for my phone from the clockworkmod ROM Manager page, I can't seem to find a tar.md5 file after unzipping, to use to flash using ODIN. Am I missing something here?

I dont know clearly but clockworkmod ROM manager app includes ROM's not recovery file. If you search your devices forum you can find CWM file which you need to flash from ODIN.

I wasn't referring to the app. CWM's Rom Manager section of their website has a section for CWM recovery files, but none seemed to contain the tar.md5 file I needed. Luckily, I stumbled across one in one of the threads here which worked. XDA is great!
