How to install CWM without USB - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Fellas.
I've got recently Galaxy s2.
It has old OS (2.3.5)
I would like to install CianogenMod10.2 or something similar.
The problem with this phone - It has completely broken usb socket. I charge the battery exernally.
I cannot use built-in bootloader, which works with Odin - because , again, usb is not working.
It also has some other bootloader (Powerup +Select button +volume UP) - which looks like CWM - but it's not CWM - because phone has stock firmware from Orange mobile company. This loader has even option to install zip from SD card - But when I try to install cm-10.2-20130824-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip ( latest cianogenmod) - it gives an error - that image is NOT SIGNED.
Is there anything I can do ?
Please advice

@junglemike - if u have a broken usb ...i seriously suggest u not to try cm10.2
if recovery doesnt works (like 2 nightlies before) u will be doomed.

I will check this out.
This is a boot loader that I have apart from stock recovery mode:

Thanks.
I understand the risks, I could install stable CM 10 version, or some other stable version.
If only I could figure out hot to install CWM...

I have tried what you suggested:
I downloaded and tried to flash PhilZ touch 3.0.0 temporary flash (file: philz-touch_3.00_i9100-signed.zip)
But it gives me same error: cannot verify the signature.
What I am missing.
Some more questions, sorry if they are too basic
1) PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel - there are many kernels. Which one to choose? This is kernel info of my phone, if it helps:
2) Suppose I succeed to flash PhiZ, why do you suggest to flash neatrom first? why not CM10 right away?

Dear @junglemike,
There is no Philz kernel for gingerbread. Nor will any temporary CWM work on GB!
The way I see it, messing with a phone having a bad USB port is like playing with fire. If something goes wrong, you will have to resort to flashing via Odin (which u can't).
So I suggest you repair the USB port (you can do it yourself too) first.

Yep. You're nuts messing with your phone with a busted USB port. If anything goes even slightly badly, and it does for almost everyone at some stage, you won't be fixing it.

I am starting to think that you are right.
By the way, friend gave me this phone, because he dropped it in a water, and USB never worked after that. I verified that it is not a bad contact issue. I checked with a tester that all 4 contacts are getting through to the motherboard. Probably some chip got burned when when that friend connected charger when phone was still wet.
I just wanted to upgrade because this jingerbread looks really ugly.
I guess I will stay with that anyway.
Is there any app to replace that ugly unlock screen at least? With something similar to jb4.2 ? I mean a enter point that you move from the. Enter to the right to unlock the phone

You need to install clockworkmod so you can use custom recovery to "update things"

Here is the link for odin: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7223192/RootSF/Odin3 v1.3.exe Download and install it on your PC. Once it is installed, open it. Then turn off your phone and pull the battery out. Hold the volume down button and at the same time plug your phone into the PC. It should go into download mode. Find the PDA button (in odin) and click it. ONLY USE THE PDA BUTTON!!! Then find the linked file I gave you earlier and select it for PDA. Then hit start. When you see a green "pass", unplug the cable and put the battery back in and hold down both the volume buttons and power button at the same time. Hold them until you see the samsung logo. You will then boot into cwm recovery. From there you can flash whatever rom or kernel that you have already put on your SD card.
Don't use rom manager on the fascinate.....that's a problem

Wow, way to NOT answer the guy's question. He's trying to, what I can see, do an OTA update, which WILL fail if you're rooted.
You HAVE to remove root if you're trying to do an OTA update.
Also, Stock Samsung Recovery will fail on unsigned zips. you would need the hacked 2e recovery, or just flash ClockworkMod with Odin.

No but seriously, what exactly are you trying to do with your fascinate/i500? Trying to put a new version of android on it? Just trying to get root? We have fairly standard ways of doing things now-a-days depending on what you're doing.

I can not connect to my i500 with USB. I have the issue I have read about where connecting to a laptop only charges the device. I have tried every trick I could find and no go. So, Odin and similar methods are out for me. I have root. So, whatever options I have, have to be performered on the device itself. If I could get a recovery to replace stock, that would be a start. Then I could disable signature verification and the like. I could try methods using terminal emulation or something similar. I just know there has got to be a way to do more than root the i500 without using USB! Any suggestions?

That won't work. You have to change to the new baseband before you use CM9. Upgrade to 2.3.3 first, then flash the rom

Since I believe the rest of the posts are a bit too much for the beginner, I hope this post breaks it down. I'm bad at using the forum editing tools , so forgive me for bad editing.
First, your phone is old baseband. Old baseband means that the software used to access the sim card and make calls is old. It does not mean that they are no good ROMs for it. One of the most stable and up to date rom I found was OMGB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376344). But the bad news is that you cannot try any of the nightlies of CM9 or the deliciousness of ICS (Ice Cream Sandwhich).
This can be overcome by installing new baseband, which involves installing a new stock rom of Gingerbread. It is not as simple as flashing a zip so the easiest of the guides I found is this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301489). I personally recommend you upgrade to new baseband and let me know if you don't understand the process.
Here are some good ROMs for O1 is found.
AOKP (4.4) (New Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613712)
Mik_OS Rom (2.3.7) (Old Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354)
SlimGen v1.6.0 (2.3.7) (Old/New Baseband) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1463495)
These are some of the few of the many great ones. I currently upgraded to new baseband and am rocking AOKP and so far, I'm speechless by the CM9 awesomeness. I hope I helped. Please click the thank you button if I helped.

SOS: Help a Noob stuck at Samsung screen upon attempt to root

Hello,
Could you pls help a noob with a rooting problem? I attempted to root my ICS AT&T Galaxy Note i-717 using Odin3 v 1.85 and a pda.tar file. Prior to that, I had checked and confirmed the USB drivers are installed (I have Kies software installed on the PC. However, folliwing the succesful flash of pda.tar I got the phone stuck at the Samsung screen. I could still get to the download screen. However, the phone would not go pass that screen. Can you pls tell me what I did wrong/guide me w simple steps on how to fix the phone and finish the root? I have the read many different root treads but I find them confusing. Treads are ponting at different files to be frashed/installed on the phone. Thanks very much.
This happens from time to time...don't worry.
Reboot phone in download mode, connect phone, reflash kernel.
A few things: use stock samsung cable. Use back of computer usb port. Reboot computer before you try again. Re download the kernel to be sure your file is not corrupted. Make sure phone battery is more than 80%.

Stuck at Samsung
I have the same issue tho have tried troubleshooting and could really use some extra help.
Updated to ATT stock ICS update a few months ago. Everything workin fine.
Wanted to root it so I could back everything up not to lose anything when moving to JB.
Rooted by flashing Da_G's pda.tar, reboot, and then flashed 2.3.3.0 TWRP
Noticed it was stuck at Samsung.
Here's where I'm kickin myself because I should have backed it up before all this, but I waited because I figured root doesn't wipe data!
Entered TWRP, backed up.
Now what I've tried to fix it... and failed
1. Reflashed pda.tar about 5 times
2. Found a stock pda "pda-odin-att-stock.tar", flashed (fixed) but it's stock setup and contacts and other google services don't work, lost homescreen icon placement and all other settings.
3. TWRP: Restore all = stuck at Samsung again
4. Repeat 2 and Restore only System
5. Repeat 2 and Restore only Data
6. Repeat 2 and flash pda.tar = boots, but same thing with it all stock, so I restore and it's stuck again.
It's my wife's phone and she has contacts that aren't saved in Google, to-do lists saved in app data files, and to be honest, she said everything better be exactly the same after updating (which I promised it would be since the plan was to root, backup, update, and restore), so I'm kinda trying to save my hide. PLEASE HELP me save my ass ha!
Other things to note: I just rooted a new phone about 30mins prior with the exact same root and TWRP files and it went very smooth, no issues.
Using a Samsung original cable on a laptop. Phone Battery was ~30% when I did all the steps, but since then read that battery should be higher so swapped out to fully charged battery and retried the steps.
Using the root kernel you did, basically flashed a Gingerbread kernel over an ICS rom. (Doesn't work)
Your best bet at this point, is too flash a rooted ICS build from bigfau ...(located in the super thread stock section)
Just flash using TWRP ....BUT !!!
make sure you wipe the dalvik cache, system cache, and system before flashing the rooted ICS build.
Once the rom is flashed, you will be stock and rooted.
Regarding data you have lost with no backup....start begging forgiveness now ....it's gone ....g

Wouldn't I be able to just flash an ICS Kernel to undo the GB kernel and set things straight? Or is the whole thing ruined already?
I have the data/app and data/data files. If all's really lost, I'll just put JB on it. If I copy the data/app and data/data files onto the new image will all the apps with their settings/data be restored at least?
Yes, flash the correct kernel.
I think what happened to me is the OS got deleted cuz once I flashed a rom I was good to go!

I flashed it, it booted into android fine but every time I selected start on the first setup screen it would reboot. Now I can't get into recovery, however I have a broken power button which might be causing complications. I'm working on getting back into recovery but this is an old phone so if I don't get it working, its no big deal.

I flashed it, it booted into android fine but every time I selected start on the first setup screen it would reboot. Now I can't get into recovery, however I have a broken power button which might be causing complications.

Damn that is horrible. Power button doesn't work at all? Have you trye taking it apart and cleaning the contactors? What recovery do you have? Is there only one option? can you op to setup gapps later? You can always try using fastboot to get in there.

I have taken the phone apart but I still couldn't get the power button to work. Anyhow, I just got everything restored and I'm going to try flashing it again. :laugh:
Okay, I just flashed the rom this time. It boots into android but when I try to open any app, the phone reboots.

I cant get into settings to turn on usb debugging because the phone restarts every time I open settings. Is there any way to make a logcat in this situation?

See if you can download catlog and get the log that way for him.
Good luck.

I got a soft brick. Good thing I had a Jtag because I could not even get into download by button combination.
You may want to check and see if the i777 repo has even been updated to a useable state, as it had not been a few days ago when I last checked.
The kernel works but the ROM itself doesn't do much.
I have ported the CM 10.2 unofficial build pulled from GT-I9100 forum and I flashed it. All I can say is it worked fine but still is unstable..highly unstable. I used d default kernel and changed the modules and keypad script. It booted well and was fast. But phone heating issue and couple of FC's us what I encountered. And battery life issues.

Not sure what caused it. I had installed GAPPS with all the extras. Next time I try I will just install the ROM and the GAPPS core. Then the extra stuff one at a time. Believe me I started getting nervious when I could not get into download by button combo. I started breathing easy when I found my Jtag pluged it in and went rite to download on power up.
Anyone know why the rom was pulled?

4.3.3 versions have TRIM Implementation ....and our devices aren't design for SSD overwrite deleted blocks

TRIM would not be implemented on anything for our device. The SII version of CM10.2 and anything based off of CM10.2 trees would not contain TRIM.
I haven't made any calls but I sure hope I'm not having mic issues on 4.0 because voltage control is a really big deal to me and I don't want to upgrade.
Could someone explain why TRIM wouldn't be good for our devices?

I've had the same thing, doing pretty much nothing!
Fresh install, wiped everything, from system to memory card, plugged into USB transferring some files and BOOM, brick. Wipe again, reinstall, continue copying some files and brick again.
Needless to say I am sticking to 10.1 for a while longer.

[Q] Stuck on CWM 5 (PhilZ Touch 5)

Hi!
Before I Install anything I did:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Wipe Davlik Cache
Then I tried to install:
Code:
- I9300 AOSP NeatROM v5.8 (4.4.3) - Failed with (Status 7)
so I tried Installing:
- I9100 AOSP NeatROM v4.9 (4.4.2) - Failed with (Status 7) too!
And finally tried installing:
- I9300XXUGND5_NeatROM_v7.6_Aroma[/URL] - Failed with (Status 7)
then I tried modifying the update-script for each of them and tried to install hoping one of them works, but:
Code:
- I9300 AOSP NeatROM v5.8 (4.4.3).zip - Disappeared in CWM
- I9100 AOSP NeatROM v4.9 (4.4.2).zip - Disappeared in CWM
- I9300XXUGND5_NeatROM_v7.6_Aroma - (Bad) installation aborted
Now I dont care about any ROM, I just want my device back!
Thanks!
Update recovery, status 7 issues are normally due to incompatible recoveries try latest twrp or cwm , from website ie not via clockwork manager. To get device back now just reflash your nandroid backup, should work fine even with older recovery.

This is latest PhilZ recovery download page >> http://www.mediafire.com/?6bz59b4kwq6my << Also noticed in your post you tried to flash "I9100 AOSP NeatROM v4.9 (4.4.2)" wrong phone my friend probably good that that one failed to install!
If your phone still does not flash with new recovery then return to stock with Odin and start again
No! I'm sure I didn't try to install i9100, I carefully chose I3900 in every ROM I've downloaded! I've just copied this text carelessly so...
However, the recovery I've installed named:
Code:
philz_touch_5.18.4-i9300.tar.md5
What you gave me is:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Are you sure it's newer than mine?
Cuz I'm running outta battery and I just can't keep trying until my phone is dead!!
Thanks!!

Don't keep trying as suggested return to stock with odin if the recovery does not work.
I tried installing I9300XXUGMK6_I9300OXAGMK6_OXA with odin few times - That's the rom I used to use before I f up my phone
but it's not working!
Log be like: (Succeed 0/0 Failed) or something like that!!

Glad it worked ? Give it another try in a week or two when you have the courage to try again you now know you can always go back to stock Rom ....Maybe also try installing Twrp again using a different version of Odin.
