Help with installing CWM - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok on the lg lucid using ROM manager it says there's a compatible cwm recovery and will download and install it. But it never works . Is it not compatible with 4.0.4 and only gingerbread? I can't find anything online about it. I'd rather not have to flash the official GB firmware,reroot then install cwm and flash a ROM.. It's tedious and wipes my phone completely and yes I'm already rooted. Any ideas? I really need help and would appreciate it greatly. Ready to flash cm10. They have a ROM for the lg lucid so I know you can get the recovery to work please and thank you. Any and all help is appreciated.

Hello there! Glad you dropped by.
The ROM Manager is almost decrepit now and not many people use it. In fact, I haven't seen support for many of the new devices lately. You can't install CWM through the phone; you'll need a PC to do that.
LET'S GET STARTED!​
Since you're already rooted, you can get the CWM for LG Lucid from here. BTW, make sure that you have some version of Windows installed, as this works only on that.
Unzip the archive and place it on the desktop.
Make sure you enable USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development.
Connect the device via USB cable to the PC. (Make sure you don't use any hubs to connect.)
Double click on the Installer.bat file
Follow the instructions displayed on the screen
Once the process is over, you've finished installing CWM Recovery to you LG Lucid 4G!
You can now install CM10! Good luck! :good: Post back here if you have any problems at all!

Thanks so much. Now will this work with ICS because all the other cwm installers i found only worked with GB and won't work with it on ics

It should work. Just try. There's no point in having a phone with 4.0.4 and downgrading to GB just to install CWM all over again.

OK. So the lucid has a compleatly locked bootloader in ICS so I rolled back to GB where it is an unlocked bootloader . Re rooted. Installed cwm. Then flashed cm10 and the new baseband and now its running spectacularly in JB. Way better then stock

Flashing ROMs

Can I flash a Rom , I am HTC dev unlocked as of today and this is my first time being rooted this way, but I don't see super user so I can't use cwm so how can I flash a Rom this way, I mainly want google now working
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
That package that you need to flash is just to enable root on your ROM, if you have twrp already you should be able to just flash a new ROM, just make sure you fastboot the kernel. Unzip the ROM you are going to flash and put the boot.image in you adb directory and then type fastboot flash boot boot.image then jump into recovery wipe dalvik, cache and then factory restore and wipe system and then flash the ROM zip
Make sure to flash a custom recovery first. You need twrp before you can flash ROMs. Also you should read my guide. It goes over a lot of things you need to know to avoid any issues
I don't have twrp, and where is your guide located?
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
In my sig. Go to the team win website and get the recovery, make sure its for the evolte, it comes in 2 flavors, recovery.image and update.zip. update zip is probably the easiest method
Will I still b able to accept an ota on a stock rom
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
With stock rom you can accept ota, you have to make sure you have stock recovery. At this point there's no real benefit. The fixes to lte seem negligable

As a rooted user, you shouldnt be accepting OTA's. Thats just rooting 101.
There are some very persistent people around these parts lol
I went to the teamwin page and did the Android App Install Method, downloaded the app and chose install OpenRecoveryScript and got the error message unable to find a recovery for your device
Download their update zip or fastboot the recovery.image

You are unlocked correct?
Yes I'm unlocked, I just saw that as the preferred method so I was tryna take the easy route lol
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
The update.zip is the easy route lol fastboot requires you to open a terminal, navigate to the adb directory and the flash command with isn't all that hard, but is a bit more work and requires you to understand the termimal just a bit

Yes, I'm persistent about it. Recommending people take an OTA when they don't fully understand the ramifications of doing so isn't the right thing to do. This isn't just about attaining S-OFF.
If you think you're experienced enough to do so, fine, but someone who just unlocked their device today and doesn't know how to flash a ROM should be taught how to do things properly. That includes very basic things about rooting such as never taking an OTA.
/rant
Yeah yeah, sorry, i didnt exactly recommend it, I just didn't really make any attempts to enforce advisement against it. I'll give you the gas and matches what happens afterward is your responsibility. If they burn themselves, then they burn themselves, most of the users here are not children, they can make their own decisions. If they take the time to look they will see the issues posted.
---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------
And i wasn't talking about you being persistent, I was referring to the last 10 threads or so (that I've read, skipped a few initially) with other users asking the exact same thing. I'm pretty sure that in the last 4 threads or so the op mentions they know its not advised
But taking an ota from my understanding on a stock ROM will just make me lose root which if I really want to unroot when jb comes out seems like an easy unroot method since I only want root for google now as of now

cmx is pretty rock solid as it stands, they just have a few very minor issues, nothing that would be a show stopper. if you make the jump please turn off hardware overlay in the developer options and the automatically download attachments in the text message settings

That would be incorrect. By suggesting you not take the OTA I'm saving you from yourself really.
But in the end, you'll do what you want to do to your device
Can't save everyone lol I advised someone not to down grade from 1.19 and they said thanks and less then 10 min later same user is asking for help on his now bricked device

I rooted with the above link fine, but don't see any roms out there. It's unskinned anyway and it's my daughters phone. She can tether so it's all good. Doubt we'll see much if any development on it.

It seems as though you guys got the root working. Could I borrow a copy of your titanium backup or system folder. I installed the hp beats installer on mine( do not do) and now all the audio drivers are not working and my copy of tb is corrupted. Since you have good rooted phones, could I borrow a copy to restore my drivers. Thanks!

Rise can be Rooted
The Kyocera Rise can be rooted. Rise v4.0.3 is much is eaiser to root version v4.0.4. It seems in version 4.0.4 they locked the bootloader. This update is provided by OTA from Kyocera. Version 4.0.4 can be rooted but from information I found online, it seems some root procedures work for some v4.0.4 but not all.
For now the only thing you can do for customizing the rom is to use "PimpMyRom" app from google play. I suggest NOT to install "beats audio" from the app. The drivers cause you to lose all your sound. I hope this bit of info helps.

Use Odin to flash CF-Root, really easy stuff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
When you need repair or anything, you have to use Triangle Away to reset binary count and set it official status. So technically, rooting does void warranty but it can be reset.

Thanks a lot! I'm going to give it a try right now.
By the way, if i do manage to root, would I be able to do the official Jelly Bean update once it comes out?
EDIT: The rooting process does seem simple enough, the ''THIS IS A DANGEROUS OPERATION AND COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. A USB JIG IS PREFERRED IF YOU HAVE A WORKING ONE.'' on the Triangle Away page has me concerned though.
I'm surprised that nobody is never talking about this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488.
Worked like a charm in a few minutes, nothing to care about, installs drivers, no need to download Odin, and you're rooted and recovery installed.
A must in my opinion.
What are the differences between installing that and installing CF?
I used the toolkit. Complete root newbie 3 days ago, I now have ROM Omega v28 running Jellybean 4.1.1 flashed siyah kernel, switched my sd card with my 32gb ext card so now I have much more space for storing apps and games and over clocked device to make it run faser
Flashed a fair few mods so my s3 looks ace and performs like a dream
Root using the toolkit 5.0 as in the post above it only took about 5 mums and that was only because I was really slow and cautious.

Would i be able to install Cyanogen mod if i root it with toolkit?
Yes you would. The method you use to root is just that, a method to give you the super user access you need to do all the weird and wonderful things you can do with a rooted device.
Once rooted, using the toolkit will install clockwork mod recovery on your device and you would use this to flash the ROM of your choosing. It takes just a minute or so to flash the ROM too, I was surprised and pleasantly so at how quick and easy it all was.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Argghh, is there any full guide on how to root, install jelly bean then flash the cyanogen mod?
I used the following you tube guide.
Just don't worry about the toolkit versions being different its just been updated since then
It literally takes minutes..
Watch the video a few times over like I did though.. And the toolkit tells you what to do next.. It's all very clear.
Once done, install root checker and it will confirm if you are rooted
With the ROM I don't think you need to install JB, the ROM should be ICS or JB and come included with the ROM
I was determined to go with CyagenMod but I went for Omega.. So glad I did...

Once rooted to flash a ROM you just save the ROM zip file to the SD card
Boot into recovery (power button, home button and volume up) and just choose the option 'install from SD card' find the ROM zip file, confirm the install and sit back and let it do its thing.

Sorry, Work is frantic at moment so rarely here..
Do you have android sdk installed on your Windows computer? If yes, you can test the recovery you are trying by using fastboot, (fastboot boot recovery.img) if it works then there is a good chance that you have a rom that overwrites recovery when booting so even if Odin installs it ok it does not stick on rebooting....
You can extract the recovery image that you downloaded from droid basement from the tar.md5 file.
If you are ok with trying all that then we might be able to get you root by booting into cwm recovery through fastboot and flashing the root.zip from there, theory being when you reboot after that you will lose your custom recovery but have root...

Sorry, Work is frantic at moment so rarely here..
Do you have android sdk installed on your Windows computer? If yes, you can test the recovery you are trying by using fastboot, (fastboot boot recovery.img) if it works then there is a good chance that you have a rom that overwrites recovery when booting so even if Odin installs it ok it does not stick on rebooting....
You can extract the recovery image that you downloaded from droid basement from the tar.md5 file.

Its fine! Its great to have the help! I would be fine doing all of that stuff. Do you think there would be a way for me to make a backup of the stock ROM so that I would be able to use this method to flash a different ROM like CM and then have a recovery and lots of goodies?
I would just need my hand held through the entire process honestly, I have no idea how to do that stuff but I'm pretty good at following directions lol.
I suppose you could use the adb "pull" command to save all the necessary partitions... Not sure of the possibility of possibly making a nandroid using the fastbooted recovery while you're in there... Never thought of it before and never tried it so you could become a pioneer...

Another thought is that if you succeed in getting root then you can delete the file responsible for overwriting recovery on your locked boatloader and you will then be free to install a recovery and it will stick... File is install-recovery.sh in system/etc
Our you could try unlocking boatloader but you'll lose everything on the tab...

I'm still a little noob at using the SDK. So I'm going to try this maybe next week when I get some free time. Is there an easy method to unlocking the bootloader? I don't mind doing it unless you think the other method would be easier. I appreciate the help!!

Hey there, I did a couple of searches and didn't find a thread to help me root my Verizon 4g 32Gb edition of the Galaxy tab 10.1. I was wondering if there is currently a method to root the tab on the latest OTA update? Or am I S.O.L.?

Kingo Root (installs SuperSU NOT SuperUser) worked like a charm for me! Once rooted I installed CWM recovery via Odin3 v1.85 (MUST have all Samsung Drivers installed. Get 'em Here &/or Here). No problems so far. Havent flashed a ROM yet.
EDIT: Kingo Root will get the drivers 4 you! Forgot

[Q] I need to learn how to Install recovery, Flash ROMS, And kernels..etc

Hello. Yesterday was my birthday and i got a used note 1 from my cousion. I came from the HTC evo 3D and i know how to fully root s-off, roms..etc. And i would really like to learn how to do the same to this phone as well. As of right now it has the 4.0.4 firmware on it ICS. I have never owned a samsung phone before and im really new to all of this for the note. I will thank any help i get! I cant wait to start flashing ROMS and kernels to this phone!! . Also once i flash the recovery how do i boot into it? And will i be able to flash roms directly from the phone? I know there is a program called odin that is used to flash recoverys and kernels i think. Last question would be.. Where can i find usb drivers for windows 8.1 for the note 1. Thanks again!

Ugh!! I flashed the twrp recovery fine. I went to try and flash a rom it didnt work and now i cant boot my phone wtf........Can i please have more help...
What rom did you flash? Some kit Kat roms require you using cwm recovery. Try flashing a different rom.

Well I just flashed a jellybean 4.1.2 ROM and it is working perfect. But I still want kitkat. I don't remember the name of the one I tried to flash. My main question is when I flash jb, ICS, or kitkat. Do they all just work after flash or do I need some kinda different boot thing like my HTC needed? Last thing is I could not find a flashable cwm recovery through Odin. Do I have to flash it with an app through the phone? PS: If it is as easy to flash things to this phone as easy as I think that would be awesome. So far I am LOVING THIS THING. Samsung might be my new favorite brand.. I had to do so many things to my HTC evo 3D just for custom kernels to be on it. Thanks for any help I get.

Update: Flashed cwm non touch recovery through the app. And I also flashed the candy shop kitkat 4.4.2 ROM, upon boot the WiFi would not work so I am back on the jb 4.1.2 ROM and I am now downloading hellybean jb 4.3 now. I wiped the data before I installed the kitkat ROM and there is no option in recovery to wipe the system so I guess every ROM I install it will overwrite which is kinda weird. I will try to flash the touch version of cwm later.. The one on the forum you gave me says access denied on my phone when I try to download the latest one. But It did work on my pc so I'll get it from there..

Glad your researching!
I also recommend reading the rom descriptions, and instructions. Some builders will clue you in as to which recovery to use, and what gapps need flashed.
I also recommend skimming thru the posts to see what issues other users may have had. They might of given you a clue as to why the Wi-Fi didn't work.

Can you possibly tell me what I can do to make my games run faster on this phone? I ran quadrant and got 3100 as the score. That seems a bit low in my opinion. Or maybe you can tell me what rom is faster. Idk.
