I'm not stupid and i'm pretty good at these things, especially when following instructions. But I can't find Recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-galaxys2.tar.
I've got recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2, but it's in .zip and when I unzip it there is nothing I can do with the files.
Where can I find the .tar
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Edit: Btw i've found download links for recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-galaxys2 but the page isn't working.
How do I do that? I only know how to use Odin.
CDW is clockwork mod correct?
You are supposed to flash the CWM zip file from stock recovery.

right, done that from external memory (sdcard) now do I have to go through the stock recovery every time I want to use clockwork mod recovery?
p.s. to xda people, your image verification is crap! I can barely read the words and I am HUMAN!!
Once you flash CM9 you will have permanent CWM.

Flash the through the stock recovery and you'll gain temporary ClockworkMod recovery. Flash the CM9 zip using the temporary CWM, wipe the data and cache.

It's like a completely different phone!!!
Thanks for the help guys!!
P.S. Again, third time I've failed the verification thing, one word is English, the other is a mash of letters.... So annoying!!

Im quite new to this flashing / roms etc...
Basically... Ive had my GS2 for a week or so, managed to unlock it...
Today when to install a theme... and using CWM clicked "flash" and selected the theme (black.zip) phone restarted.... now its just stuck in an infinite boot loop
I can get into ClockworkMod recovery... when i trye and "apply update.zip" it just says
Installing Update..
Installation Aborted
Any ideas how I can fix my phone
Thanks
I'd do a nandroid backup...
then
Factory reset usually does the trick...
if that fails, flash the current ROM again.
One other thing to consider is that possibility that your kernel doesn't match... IMO, I'd just re-flash the ROM
i think that the theme is not comptiable to your kernel/rom. just flash via odin stock rom , and then the kernel or rom u like. next time make a backup.
by the way u can also flash via odin instead the kernel litening rom, root and cwm is included and also nice themed.
hopes it helps

Maybe you had to select "install zip from sd" and not "apply update.zip"
However there are several ways to fix it,just reflash another rom via cwm or odin..

Why would he do a backup now?
Anyways, weird enough, factory reset works sometimes

Thanks for all the info, was trying various roms and no luck....
Just installed Villain Rom 1.1 and all seems fine now
Hi all,
I have rooted my s2 with cf-root, tried many roms, then arrived on cm7.1.
Obviously I installed Cwm and its recovery, 4.0.1.5.
If I reboot in recovery mode from Cwm manager, s2 enter in 4.0.1.5 version; if I reboot using the power button, the phone enter in 5.0.2.6 (I suppose the recovery used by the cf-kernel).
I would delete v5 and keep the original Cwm, but I can't. I tried from Cwm manager and from recovery installing a zip file: both failed.
Someone can help me?
Thanks a lot.

Not DEVELOPMENT!!!
Move to Q&A please mods!
As for your question, you only have 1 version of CWM recovery, the 4.0.1.5 is the CMW Manager version not recovery.
You're right, I wronged session. I thought to be in the right one, but I was in development. Sorry for that.
But I can't understand your answer: I really have two version of recovery: if I reboot the phone from Cwm manager in recovery mode, I'll have the 4.0.1.5; if I reboot the phone in recovery mode from the power button, I'll have the 5.x.
How can I have only one recovery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
I have exactly the same issue, two diff recoveries depending how I boot into recovery. Both allow me to backup/ restore, install zips etc, although the new CWM 5.x seems to us a different backup format that is not backwards compatible with 4.x
Would be interested to understand what is going on here, thanks
Nobody has a solution or suggestions?

1.) would it overwrite all the CWM recovery program? also clean up the problem i had?
2.) just curious when we install CWM recovery (i use the htcevohacks.com for hboot 1.5,used CWM4.0.1.4) is it on the partition of the phone right? , can that be wiped, then reinstall new one?
Try turning off fastboot. I know I've done that a few times.

thank you guys for the help... i get to panicky too quickly....
problem solved , i jsut reisntalled cwm... using dos command... thank you for quick reply thou...

hmm try turning off fastboot that should do it
Clockworkmod 5 sucks. Use clockworkmod 4.0.1.4 or even better. 4ext recovery. Twrp also sucks. Just my opinion .

Dear people, I have a question in regards to obtaining CWM recovery after using the root method located here, specifically method one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
I used the stock recovery to flash "Root_SuperSU.0.95-Busybox.1.20.2-S2-signed.zip" and everything seems to be working well. However, I want to flash a custom ROM like MIUI rom and I believe that I need CWM recovery. I tried flashing the recovery via the app "ROM manager". It says it downloaded successfully but I can't seem to boot into it so I uninstalled the app. Now I am turning to you guys for help.
So, to get permanent CWM recovery, must I really flash a kernel with CWM built in?
Thank you for reading, and I do hope you guys could assist me in this matter.
So you've successful attained root access. You cannot replace the stock recovery permanently without flashing a kernel with CWM.
However, you can temporarily replace it by flashing this file through the stock recovery :
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip
When you've temporarily replace the recovery make sure you've downloaded the rom you want I believe to the external memory (I actually put it on both Internal and External) and flash it through CWM.

Thank you for your reply.
So from your post, I have learnt that I could flash a ROM with just the temporary recovery. However, I have a few side questions.
Is wiping data and the cache partition safe with the temporary version?
Suppose something goes wrong during the flashing procedure, and I can't boot into the phone. How do I restore the phone back to its original state? I know of the Nandroid backup function, but does it create a file to the external SD or what? Am I supposed to keep the stock recovery or will the ROM replace it with CWM?
Yes, you need kernel with built-in CWM to have it permanent, but for flashing custom ROM you can do it via temporary too. It have same functionality. I recommend using latest 6.x version from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223
Wiping is safe if you have 4.0.3 ROM or 4.0.4 with custom kernel with MMC_CAP_ERASE command disabled.
Hi, I have yet another question, this time regarding Cyanogenmod. I would like to flash Cyanogen through the CWM provided here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840223
And I was just wondering. Do I need any custom kernels for Cyanogen? Since I rooted with the method I mentioned in my original post, I would be using the stock kernel.
Oh, and another one. Suppose I could flash with the stock kernel, what should I choose under CWM before flashing? "Wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and also "format /cache" under mounts and storage?
CM will overwrite all it has own kernel

You might also want to go into advanced and wipe dalvik a few times too.

Hi all,
I followed all the instructions and search the web and successfully unlock the bootloader and root the phone. I also use fastboot to install CWM but for some reason, every time I go to Android Recovery, it went into Android system recovery <3e> and not CWM. I tried flashing the CWM through the link provided in "[Answers] Solutions to Common Problems - Look Here Before Posting in Q&A", both CWM 5.0.2.0 and CWM touch recovery 5.8.1.8 and it still goes to Android system recovery <3e>.
I also tried using ROM manager to flash CWM and yest again it goes back to Android system recovery <3e>. I got the exclamation mark with triangle and the android logo when I select Android Recovery, and just hit volume up and down the same time to get into Android system recovery <3e>.
Am I missing something? Has anyone encounter this issue and can shed a light on my problem? Thank you in advance for reading my post and thank you XDA for the wealth of information.
I had the same problem. After some searching I found the following (I think here on XDA):
" There's a file in /system/etc/ called install_recovery.sh that may need to be deleted for the custom recovery to stick. You need root to remove it."
I did this...actually just renamed it, re- flashed CWM and was good to go. Hope this helps

This is a great tip that should be added to the "[Answers] Solutions to Common Problems - Look Here Before Posting in Q&A"
Any time. Glad it worked out for you. (as I am learning and trying to buy some more life out of my Atrix)
