Hi just a quick question.I recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 on Sasktel Carrier (Canadian), model mumber: SGH-I747M and i cannot boot CWM Recovery. I have deleted the two /system/ files that some advised to do and i know i am rooted because i have SuperRoot but I still cannot boot it. So im wondering how i could boot CWM Recovery (Keep in mind im a pretty new to this stuff). Is it possible to root my phone more than once without bricking my phone?
i followed this video to root my phone and i was wondering if i could go through the steps again and try to reach the CWM recovery mode that way or would that brick my phone?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
You have to flash the recovery to boot into it

If I were to follow the instructions from your link could it brick my phone? I've already rooted my phone. Or is this just putting the recovery into my phone? Thanks for the help!

If you follow the procedure in the guide there is minimal risk of bricking your phone, and fortunately in the unlikely event something does go wrong most of the time you can use Odin to fix any mistakes. This procedure will just flash Clockworkmod Recovery and will not effect root access on your phone.

or just download Rom Manager from the play store and flash recovery that way.
1. Open Rom Manager and tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option in the app.
2. You’ll be asked to select your device, select your device name.
3. As soon as you select the model, it should begin installing the recovery.
4. When it has done installing the recovery, you will get a message for the same on your screen.
*NOTE: I do not recommend Rom Manager as a tool to do anything but just install and update ClockworkMod Recovery. Do not flash ROMs from Rom Manager.
I've heard rom manager is a great way to install custom roms. How would you recommend to install custom roms? Through cwm recovery? I cannot install it through rom manager because it says recovery setup instead of flash and when I do try it says i747m isn't supported

The problem with ROM Manger is that on newer devices it can brick your device if you use it to install custom ROMs or try to use it to flash a recovery image even if it is a device that has official Clockworkmod Recovery support. I would recommend either using Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project to install custom ROMs.

I've been using AmonRA recovery since I got the Optimus in December and I am comfortable with it. I've tried out Miks port of CM7 and while it's great, i sorely miss the battery performance I was getting on Froyo with Void and running 824mhz stable without any problems. That and bluetooth is sorely missed. I want to give OpenOptimus a shot, but I am extremely weary of trying to install Clockwork Mod again, because the one time I attempted it I ended up bricking my phone. Thankfully, the guy at the Tmo kiosk in the mall just gave me a new one no questions asked. I wouldn't be so hesitant to install CWM on my phone if I could install the img just like I did with AmonRA instead of trusting Rom manager to do it for me.
I don't suggest you to flash recovery via ROM manager. IMHO ClockworkMod is better,has much more options. If you'll flash the 3.1.0.0 version using my flashable zips you won't brick anything. And remember to give openOptimus a shot,you won't regret it

I'm not sure I understand correctly. I thought that clockworkmod was the recovery that is installed by Rom Manager. All of the instructions for installing CWM simply say to install Rom Manager. Ultimately, I do aim to install OpenOptimus but I need to switch from running AmonRA recovery to CWM recovery. And what exactly do you mean by flashable zip? I installed AmonRA using the ADB and an .img file. it there is a thread anywhere here that clearly details the process to install CWM recovery, please point me to it.

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that you could actually flash a recovery from within the recovery. I just switched to CWM and flashed OpenOptimus. Waiting for first boot as I'm typing this.

yes a stated above u can just enter into recovery and flash any recovery u want from the link pointed out above and its safe ,since u already have recovery installed u dont need to flash recovery via rom manager and just remember that any backup taken from any recovery would be restored using the same recovery. To clear all doubts the problem has been solved and installing recovery from rom manger works flawlessly now. Note:Its advisable to use rommanager for ppl not having recovery installed just download the latest rom mager and flash choosig ur phone type.
slightly off topic, but does anyone know where I can get the T-Mobile branded P509 kdz stock firmware just in case I end up needing to roll back to stock? I can't seem to find it anywhere, the_ERROR's thread on howto is closed and the links don't work anymore.

nope its not safe at all using rom manager ~
I flashed CWM and my friend died a few days later.
So no it's not safe.
For me there are no problems with clockworkmod and RomManager. Flashed cwm via RomManager and everything is fine here.

it not about using rom manger for flashing rom ,it just to get the cwm recovery and then going into recovery and using it from there.
Many had problems flashing rom from clockwork so that not advisable but installing cwm is fine 100% sure
M happy with CWM
Don't use tricks like ROM Manager... It's just matter of learning to use a recovery, not that difficult.. just IMHO
You just need to use ROM manager Once to get recovery. After that you can delete the program and enjoy the CWM recovery.
I have been there, I have done it, You do want it
CWM works beautifully without problems..
I use rom manager just to reboot to recovery, as i am too lazy to use the 3 button combo to goto recovery.
Flashed ROMs and zips with CWM. 100 % safe untill now..
The new updared Rom Manager has solved that issue.

How much I've learned in just a month!
I can't believe I had to ask that question. I know now that there are numerous ways to flash recoveries. My personal preference is to do it manually using the adb.

No, it is not 100% fine, in fact it lacks any sanity checks whatsoever.
Just flash CWM through your current recovery and you'll be fine. It's by far the safest method. If you flash through ROM Manager and after reboot you get stuck in fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015332 ... happened to me, unbricked it with some slight changes to the tutorial. Nothing important.
PS: If you don't use Rom Manager you can always do a $su then #reboot recovery in a terminal (Downloadable from market) to reboot directly to recovery.

To install ROM's (and in particular Cyanogen 7), I need Clockwork Recovery installed..yes?
I can't seem to find the obvious way to do this, but, can I simply use stock recovery, to run the CWM.zip in the above method to get to Clockwork Recovery - and then install Cyanogenmod?

Hmmm, nobody actually really answered my query there.
The phone is already rooted.
In the method I followed, you used stock recovery, to load Clockwork Recovery. I'm simply asking, can I use this method to install custom rom?

You boot into stock recovery. You then select a file called CWM.zip and this temporarily loads Clockwork. On a reboot, you'd still have stock recovery.
Yes you can flash custom ROM using that temp cwm, I do it all the time

I didn't try in that way. If u want give it a try i prefer the way that a post u before
Using XDA Premium over Resurrection Remix ICS, the Best Rom ever made
1) place your ROM zip to SD card root, again flash CWM zip from stock recovery,
and install zip from SDcard,
2) or you flash CF-root CWM version from CWM after flashing CWM zip, to get pemenent CWM
3) flash CF-root TAR file from ODIN to get CWM, no matter you already rooted
Excellent. Thanks guys.
First of all im a noob so please bear with me, i have just bought my I9300 and i wanted it rooted like everyone else, i followed the steps, everything was sunshine and rainbows, the intallation was succesful and my device was rooted until i intalled rom manager and it intalled his own recovery and it is not working properly, now i want to get ride of that and intall one that works. PLEASE HELP, i dont want to brick my device.
When you installed rom manager it installed clockwork mod. (cwm)
You use this recovery instead from now on.
You can backup your rom or flash a new one or flash a modem or kernel..
There are loads of guides on this check one out if your not sure what to do..
Good luck

f flash a recovery image with mobile Odin
hi guys, ive recently been given a s2 and i want to know how to root it and install clockwork mod without a pc. i have looked through the tutoriols and it seems simple to root but then when wanting to flash a recovery it seems confusing as there are kernels and what not. i have searched but things seem to complicated compared to the one x. sorry if this is really stupid but could someone tell me how to root my s2 and install cwm and install a custom kernel in simple english please. thanks in advance.
also one cwm is installed can i install roms through there or is odin(this is also confusing) required?
oh and finally, once a ota arrives how do i unroot and revert back to stock recovery. sorry for the noob questions guys, thanks in adcance

Simple mate. Download this http://db.tt/MxD7F6xg and install through stock recovery (volume up+home+power).
This is a temp CWM recovery so you can flash this kernel: http://www.dorimanx.com/Android-ICS/ by selecting Install zip from internal or external sdcard. BTW, it's touch recovery.
Then you're all done:thumbup:
Yes you can flash custom roms through CWM recovery built in the kernel.
Yes also to revert back to stock rom/kernel for ota. For this, you can use mobile Odin pro. Works great.
EDIT: OH and the kernels are pre-rooted

You should not be mucking about with your phone until you have a pc handy(with odin installed properly).
I hardly ever use a pc,but you can get situations when you flash something and the phone dont boot properly,plus no access to recovery.
The only option is then using a pc/odin.

Read article above. So after I install I will have to root phone Again? It is rooted now. The reason I want CWM is so I can back up OS on phone unless you have a better way.
CWM or any custom recovery like TWRP (whatever is available for your device) is the best way to backup. If you're already rooted, you won't need to again unless you restore to stock. Flashing a custom recovery doesn't affect the ROM in any way.
As an alternative method of backup, you can use 'adb backup' (read about it) but it's more complicated. Custom recovery is the best.

No Rom Manager says Galaxy S3 not worked with it yet when you click to flash CWM.
Then look in the Galaxy S3 forum specific to your model (unlocked/carrier variant). There are usually guides and toolkits for everything from rooting to flashing ROMs to restoring to stock, made specifically for new and inexperience users. You'll easily find a way to flash recovery there.
Ok, just had a look, recoveries are indeed directly flashable to your phone. You don't *need* Odin, although it can be flashed that way too. In any case, if ROM Manager isn't working for you for whatever reason, flash TWRP recovery. TWRP = TeamWin Recovery Project. It's a much better and more useful recovery than CWM. Follow the link below to find TWRP recovery along with installation instructions for international Galaxy S3 (unlocked version) -
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/114
If you have a carrier variant, choose your device correctly from the list in the TWRP website - http://teamw.in/twrp_view_all_devices
