Really? It's that easy on EA28? I was under the impression you needed the clockworkmod kernel flashed first. Anyone else have any insight on this?
Just tried flashing via ROM Manager and it's a no go. I need to flash custom kernel and the link that is in this thread is broken

From what I've read, Heimdall (or whatever the name is) doesn't work for our phones, so Odin is the only way to flash it. Setting up a VirtualMachine and using USB-passthrough probably would work, but otherwise you'd need to find a computer that can run Odin (you'd also need to use Odin whenever you change the modem used).

Heimdall works fine with the fascinate. I haven't used odin in months, and use heimdall daily to flash test kernels and such. Not sure it works with mac though.

There has got to be another way. When using ODIN how is it flashing it to your phone? Is it possible to use ADB commands through MAC to accomplish the same thing? Also there is a way to flash the clockworkmod kernel using a MAC, instructions are posted on the previous post (link) but the link within that thread is broken, anyone have the file??

Wait? You flashed clockwork mod, followed by rebooting and then selecting the update.zip and it didn't work?

Rom Manager can only install part of CWM. The rest needs to be flashed via Download mode, such as with Odin (or that other one, apparently).

I never used Odin until my eb01 flash...fyi
I cant even get my mac to recognize my phone. I searched 3 sites yesterday and still cant get it to connect. It says the disc is not readable.
I haven't been able to find samsung drivers for MAC. I can dual boot on my mac so everything for my phone I have to switch to Windows.
Here is all you need for using your Mac to push files to your SD (when the computer won't recognize), root, flash CWM... Only thing not possible yet is flashing the radio. So if you plan to upgrade to froyo you need to at least have the DL09 radio already.
Tried the one click root and it wouldnt work...said permission denied. Tried it about 5 different ways and never got past the first step where I was supposed to drag and drop files into terminal to be pushed to sdcard. Allows denied permission...i assume I was dragging the right files into the terminal.
You need to use the manual adb rooting method when rooting in OS X. Also to flash custom kernel and recovery, you need to flash them with redbend_ua.

Rom manager is not fully functional on the SGSII. In particular, you can not use recovery through Rom Manager. To gain ClockworkMod Recovery, you must install a custom kernel containing CWM Recovery.
You can install a kernel with Odin3, Heimdall, adb, Android Terminal Emulator, or Mobile Odin Lite. If you use Odin3 or Heimdall, this will increment the flash counter. Adb, Terminal and Mobile Odin Lite will not increment the flash counter. If you need specific guidance, look at the FAQ in sticky section of the General forum, or follow the Guide linked in my signature. (I havn't added Mobile Odin Lite to the guide yet, but it's a pretty easy option. If you download it from Chainfires thread, it is free. If you get the pro version from the market there is a small charge.)
You can't boot into recovery through rommanager. You should do the three button boot (press power+volup/down) once you do that you will be able to flash roms without any issue.

You can't flash roms from stock 3e recovery, so unless there is a custom kernel installed on the phone you will not be able to flash roms.
I'll definitely cast a vote for Mobil Odin. I flashed Entropy 512's latest kernal through the Pro version, and it took less than 10 seconds!

Yes. I looked at his video again. The video is bad, very blurry, but it does look like he has ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.3 installed, not 3e recovery. So your directions would be good in that case.
BYW, I believe that stock 3e recovery is also blue text. It's been a while since I booted into 3e recovery though.

That's is correct. Though mobile odin lite is on xda for free. I used it to flash entropy512's newest kernel. Worked without an issue.

Download Mobile Odin Lite from Chainfires OP to your pc, move MobileODINLite-v1.25.apk into the same directory where you have adb.exe, and use adb to install it with:
Code:
adb install MobileODINLite-v1.25.apk
You do not need to try to install the add-on (flashkernel). You don't need it to flash a kernel, but you do need it if you want to flash a rom. When I tried it out this weekend, it would not download the flashkernel, so after I installed the kernel, I deleted Mobile Odin Lite.

Hello again. I haven't tried anything yet time is not permitting me to but I did install a custom kernel when I first rooted. This is the method I used if I haven't posted the link up yet. Its from zedomax on his you tube channel. I did it step by step. I was even able to make backups no problem.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-2Z2dKsuio&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Creep? I'm on my lunch break reading your other threads and what not... and I saw someone write press power / up and down buttons to get to cwm recovery ... but then I saw someone say release the power button when you see the yellow triangle.
So I did that and was in recovery 5.0.2.3 and attempted to flash cyanogen that I had stored in the phone...... the first attempt took two seconds so I remember on another post people had said to flash it again so I did. It took maybe 10 seconds this time.
I restarted.. and was joyed to see the cyanogen boot screen but was saddened to see it was caught in a boot loop. Would keep restarting and doing the bootup screen. Wouldn't pass that part so I had to do a restore .. any idea what I may be doing wrong..?
I attached a screen shot of my "about phone" thank u thank you everyone
I really can't help with installing CM7. I've never installed it myself.
From what I see, your were on stock with zedomax kernel and CWM 5.0.2.3, which as far as I know meets the requirements to be ready to flash CM7. Maybe someone with more experience can help you.

What did you use to root your phone?
ODIN?
Have you ever used the program ODIN? If you already have the driver installed into your computer ODIN should be able to bring it back. Install Odin and find the your Operating system files for your phone. Im sure theres a video or forum for it. Google it.

Of course you don't have CWM Recovery; you flashed a stock kernel. Having root and having CWM are not the same thing.
Relax, you didn't do anything wrong; you're just not finished yet. What you need to do now is download Mobile Odin from the market, and use it to flash either Entropy's Daily Driver or Siyah. Either one includes CWM Recovery.

Be careful...ShoStock 1.x is Gingerbread(Android 2.3), but ShoStock 2.x is Ice Cream Sandwich(Android 4.0). Choose which one you want based on that.
Also, when posting on a forum like this, please use proper grammar. If you expect people to help you, you have to do what you can to help them understand what you're saying.
So I rooted my Note a few weeks back using the non-counter advancing rooting method via odin. Worked flawlessly, and I'm rooted without issue. Tired of waiting for stock ICS to come out so I want to start flashing ROM's. Trying to install the newest CWM through Odin....well Odin doesn't recognize when the phone is connected. Tried 2 different windows 7 VM's and one W7 machine. I flashed via one of the VM's and it worked fine. It's not working on any machine that I have. I also have a mac book pro, but no idea if there is a apple Odin. What do I do? Don't have the android APK and really don't wanna go that route through ADB.
Can I just reboot into recovery and 'install via sd' or whatever the selection is, navigate to CWM touch recovery zip and install? or will that potentially do some serious damage?
Also if it's available on the CWM website as a DL why isn't it an option through the app to install? Would make my life WORLDS easier at this point.
A rooted phone would not interfere with Odin, completely unrelated. Perhaps your cable is bad, or you are installing the wrong drivers.
That said, once you have CWM on your phone, there should be no reason to use odin again. The updates for CWM are flashable via CWM. Most every single ROM is flashable via CWM. I can't really tell from your description if you were successful installing a custom recovery yet.

Trying to install a custom recovery. Sorry may not have made that clear in my rant. I've tried a couple different cables, and same luck. I DLed the CWM app from the Google Play, but have not installed a custom recovery. Trying to get CWM touch installed. Galaxy Note isn't an option when I try and install a custom recovery(CWM Touch Recovery...or hell any CWM recovery Note isn't an avialable model) via CWM.
So the options I've found so far are: Install custom recovery(CWM) via Odin, or install via ADB using android APK.
Are there other options to installing CWM recovery?
Sorry kind of a newb to all of this. I had a Dell Streak before this as my first android and it was a PITA to install Custom ROM's and root that I didn't mess with it much. Did root it and managed to soft brick my phone and bring her back to life. lol Then figured it was too much a pain to deal with.

Not sure what's going on with XDA, but my reply didn't post. So here goes: Yes that is correct I would boot into DL mode and odin didn't see my phone.
So I opened one of my VM's( the one previously used to root) uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers and voila odin sees my phone again. CWM touch recovery installed. Now off to flash Team Perfections ICS. Only chose them as they have a step by step video of installation and it seems stupid easy. Also seems to be the most stable from reading. Could be wrong. I'll try it out and wait for official CM9.
Have you tried using a different PC. I remeber my desktop wouldnt let me odin all the sudden one day. I tried my laptop worked no problem. using a VM sounds sketchy id be afraid there were too many facets or some risk of data corruption on its way. That may be incorrect but data > virtual hardware > hardware > phone. just too much for me -_-

I hear ya. Just when I start reading about some ROM's they say: oh and you need to flash this, this and this or else your phone will blow up and likely kill your whole family.
Being somewhat new to the flashing business just flashing ONE zip file is enough for me. Yet alone a bunch of other things. Just starts to confuse me with the multiple flashes......do I install all the same( as far as "flashing" goes)? Just boot into recovery navigate to file...double click and it'll do it's thing? If so I suppose that's not all that difficult. I like the one and done approach though. lol
Yup.
If there are multiple zips, flash them all like the main ROM.
Sweet! Flashed the Objection ICS. Like it so far. Seems like the modem is kinda all over the map for lte speeds.

Look at the PhilZ-CWM6 custom kernel. It can be flashed in stock recovery and includes SuperSU, root, ClockworkMod Recovery and Busybox.
It is pure stock based, and doesn't have MMC brickbug.
Thanks for responding! But there would be some way that only makes you root, without installing a modified kernel and without CWM? is that I want nothing more root access

You're wrong pal, using the first method will only root your phone, no cwm nor custom kernel. its a single file u flash through stock recovery that gives you root and busybox, nothing else.

Try flashing a custom kernel through Odin on your PC. Plenty of guides on here and Google. That way you can flash cm through recovery. Keep an eye out for the kernel bug related to 4.0.4. Again lots of documentation on that too.

There is ALWAYS a risk when doing anything to your device. The level of risk is down to what you are doing and what state the battery is in etc.
As long at the rooted kernel you are flashing is compatible with the current firmware then all SHOULD be fine.

4. GT-I9100_XWKI8_original
Now, yesterday I a friend had galaxy S II i9100P and he updated the firmware using kies and it had working blue tooth. I thought ok let's change it to that and my blue tooth might work also. I was at work and I (in a hurry) tried rooting it with only Odin. No backup, No Clockwork :laugh: nothing. ( and "Now it's stuck at the startup screen. I can go to download mode and recovery mode but it has samusg recovery not clockwork. I don't know what to do and in need of help. I'd really appreciate a quick response. (hoping to get atleast the mass data back )
These were the only 2 things used.

Hi,
So, this is what happened
I have a galaxy SII gt-i9100, About 5 months ago I rooted it and installed the galaxy nexus update to android 4.0.4. and everything was ok except it wasn't showing me the option to transfer via blue tooth (but that didn't bother me much). These were the things I used
1. GT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4
2. Odin3 v1.83
3. GT-I9100_XWKI8_insecure
4. GT-I9100_XWKI8_original

ok, the galaxy nexus update? you mean Jelly Bean or Supernexus / chamaleon?
I think that you've installed a stock ROM over a custom ROM and that's why you are stucked at the logo.
read a little bit about flashing because you are up for it.
Learn about SD card data when flashing and follow a tutorial to flash stock ICS 4.0.3 via odin thru Download mode.
Also make sure to flash a safe kernel so you wont get the brick bug (see warning post sticked in the general section).
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?
fixed.Thanks
