This is all done in ROM Manager: clear your download cache, check erase recovery before flashing in the settings, re-flash latest CWM, be happy
Hit menu and you will see the button to clear the download cache, hit menu and then settings and you will see the check box to erase recovery.
Thank Slayher guys, not me, he's the one who fixed it
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. This worked perfectly!
It worked pretty good, thanks a lot.

CW?
Is this for CW 3.0.2.4? And where is the download cache? Sorry for stupid question, I haven't upgraded to latest recovery because of said problems.
I just installed V3.0.2.4. Would that be the right version?
confirmed working mostly, havent tested on a restore yet, made a backup and installed a zip fine. no format in this zip though. in RM press menu and you you will see clear cache. and yes this is for 3.0.2.4
make sure under menu you also click erase recovery. this will erase recovery partition before flashing new recovery.
Nice find!
Just for reference sake....why do we want to erase a recovery partition prior to installing a new recovery

Just to make sure that it's wiped clean before a new flash, the same reason you should do a complete wipe before bouncing to a different ROM.

Do you have to keep erase recovery checked once you reflash the recovery? Or is this a one time deal then revert back to unchecked in settings?

This was not the case for me. I did a restore using 3.0.2.2 and everything works great except for the market. I get a fc after downloading an app, right as it's trying to install. Does any have any suggestions?

What ROM are you on?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
Hi,
I successfully rooted my phone using Youtube tutorial without wiping data (revolutionary.io).
After that, I downloaded ROM Manager and tried to flash CM7 for Thunderbolt. RC1.7. While rebooting at that time, the Cyanogen mod screen appears and nothing happens. I am unable to proceed further and the phone is not booting. The phone is displaying that screen for more than 12 hours now. I tried removing the battery, reboot and nothing worked.
Did it get bricked? Can anyone help me resolving this?
Thanks,
Kala
Did you make a backup before flashing cm7?
Do you know how to boot into your bootloader?

No! Unfortunately, I didn't take backup.
I am ready forums and help to understand other options but for now, I don't know how to boot into bootloader.
Did you ever run in to this kind of problem?
Sounds like you didn't clear data and cache when it asked before install. You are going to have to clear them and probably have to reinstall from clockwork recovery.

Yeah go into bootloader(power off then hold volume down button and power together) choose option for recovery. Wipe data/cache and reflash your rom. Lemme know if it works for ya.

I am able to come to that screen and see different options there (ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.1)! There are 2 options to choose here to wipe:
1) wipe data/factory reset
2) wipe cache partition
Do I need to choose any of them or choose to install zip from sd card?
Thank you very much!
Choose both of those and then install zip from sdcard. Since you downloaded within rom manager it will be buried somewhere in the clockworkmod directory.

It worked...I am able to boot with the new ROM. As I didn't back up, I lost all my data though! Will my contacts be anywhere and is there a way that I can get them back?
Thank you all once again!

It's interesting! I don't see android market place here in this ROM...am I not seeing it right?

If your contacts were synced with your google account they should just auto-populate. You always want to wipe data/cache 3x before you flash a rom.
For legal reasons they don't include the market with their rom. It must be flashed separately.

Same happened to me.. When I go bootloader(power off then hold volume down button and power together) it will not let me go down to recovery. it automatically does fast boot. I've been stuck on the CM7 boot screen for 3 hours. Anyother options?

Try this. Once done, make sure the keystr file has permissions rw-,rw-,rw-. You will need root.
EDIT to add: I know the post references the lock screen/power button, and not the home or menu button, but I believe this file is responsible for the lock/power button, and the home and back buttons.

You can flash a firmware, but you can't follow these directions? That worries me.
Please read up on some of the stuff in the roll up sticky in the general section. I really don't want to regurgitate a bunch of stuff that has already been immortalized in threads that already exist, and are easy to find.
how to save if my buttons not working?
I really find these types of threads pointless and annoying. If you are flashing a custom kernel, you need to live with the possible consequences and get educated before flashing.

Just doing a sanity check: using TiBu to restore system data should work (in theory) so long as you restore data that has been backed up from the same ROM, correct?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT: Having power key problems, please see posts #3 and #16 for updated information.
In case it really backs up and restores EVERYTHING - theoretically you're right.
Practically, I'm not sure it's the case. Since you're restoring while running a ROM, I'm not sure you can get everything to exactly the same state.
Thanks for your help, but this question was hiding a bigger one.
So until today, my phone has been working just fine. I'm still running an old, now outdated and unsupported ROM: ShirshirROM pre-alpha ICS. It's been my daily driver for almost a whole year now, works perfectly with Entropy's old ICS kernel.
Yesterday, I got tired of shell errors with Superuser (which I had been dealing with since the latest binary update), so I finally switched to SuperSU. Everything seemed to work fine afterwards, though I noticed some trouble with the power button being a little wonky, i.e. showing up the power menu when I hadn't pressed it or not immediately responding.
Today, my power button doesn't work correctly at all. I tried wiping cache, dalvik, then restoring a Nandroid of the same ROM/Kernel combo from way earlier this year. Key test in CWM also shows that all buttons register when pressed, EXCEPT the power one. Otherwise phone functions are perfect; I can make calls, send/receive texts, etc, I just have to plug in my phone or have something happen for the screen to turn on, and then I have access to everything. My question is, is this (God forbid) a hardware failure? That would be my worst nightmare, seeing as I'm almost exactly one full year out from contract renewal, and I don't have a lot of money to spend on a new one, nor do I have nowhere near enough expertise to try to fix it myself. What can I do?
P.S. The TiBu question was because in case the Nandroid fixed the problem, I could just restore contacts and SMS from TiBu since it is the same ROM, and be back up and running immediately.
P.P.S. As mentioned, I can get into CWM. This is done by pulling battery, sticking it in, and holding all physical keys until boot screen shows twice. But I can't use the power key to select any options, I have to use home. And key test shows the power button not registering. I'm hoping that that means power key may still work, but that's just me praying this is fixable.
So this problem didn't occur at all prior to installing supersu ?

No, as far as I recall. I'm not using supersu anymore since I'm on a Nandroid but power button still doesn't work. I have to find alternate ways of activating the screen, like plugging it into a charger or pulling the battery to restart :/

So I backed up stuff, then went ahead and flashed bone stock using the Odin3 One-Click from 2a in creepy's guide. I can't get past the initial setup wizard though, because Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps), Calendar Storage (process.com.android.providers.calendar), and other Google apps processes keep force closing when I click the Android to start. I was able to boot into stock e3 recovery (again using three-button combo), but I can't select anything using the power key.
I didn't do a full data wipe/factory reset before flashing, and I can't get to the main menus to do so because my phone won't get past the setup wizard, which keeps crashing. What do I try next?
EDIT: I know that I was able to make selections using a CWM-enabled ICS kernel; home key functioned as select. I have the CWM-flashable zip, and I wanted to know if there's anyway to flash this kernel using Odin. I know it won't boot (custom ICS kernel with Gingerbread stock rom), but if I can get into recovery, I can use the home key to do a full data wipe/factory reset, then I'd Odin stock kernel+ROM again and see if that fixes things. So my question is, how do I flash a CWM-zipped kernel in Odin? (You can tell I never use Odin)
EDIT2: I'd still like to know how I can flash a CWM-zipped kernel in Odin, but I'm gonna hold off on it as it would trip the counter and I found out my phone is still under warranty, hooray! They're sending a refurb'ed replacement that should be here in a couple days, I can test that out and see if I can get me up and running again before I decide to do something really rash like trip the counter. It sucks cause I'm going out of town on Thursday but the replacement is arriving Friday, and I won't be back until next Wednesday. I'm stuck using my old iPhone 3G until then :/
I do know you can't flash this from Odim. You'll need another kind of file. Tar file... I don't remember.
Don't know where to find it.
I don't think you should back to stock. Just wipe and formating everything could test it.
Find an app that allow you to get recovery from android like rom toolbox lite.
Download mrRobinson AeSedai Aroma.
After formating and wiped everything, flash your rom and don't get out of recovery. Flash AeSedai just after. Flash gapps and KERNEL from AeSedai.
Must be an cm10 or aokp rom... Any rom from that source.

How would I format and wipe everything if I can't get past the setup wizard on bone stock 2.3.4? I can't install apps, make calls or texts, nothing. All I can do is select the language and make emergency calls. I can't wipe in stock e3 recovery either because the power button doesn't work.
I need a way to either Odin a kernel from which I can use the home button to make selections, or find some other way to remotely format and wipe my phone. Is there a way for me to put my phone in USB debugging mode so I can maybe use ADB? I can't access the settings menu...

Nah, it's power key. I double checked again this morning. Oh, and I guess it's called 3e recovery, not e3 xD.
One other note, when pulling battery, then putting it back in, phone autoboots. I have to hold buttons then place battery in to boot to recovery, and for download mode, I have to have it plugged in, buttons held, then place battery in to get to download mode.
EDIT: Would anyone be willing to do me a huge favor? I want to find out if Entropy's DD GB kernel, the Odin-flashable tar one, can use home as select in CWM. Would someone be willing to temporarily flash DD_01242012 from here to check for me? It's a CWM zip, the changes are very tiny between it and the previous 01232012 Odin one. I just don't want to Odin it myself and trip the counter to find out it was useless, especially since I don't have a jig to reset the counter.
So an update:
While looking around for a way to root my new refurb model which came shipped with stock ICS, I found creepy's Stock ICS with root package, and I thought, "I told AT&T I was on ICS, I guess I should actually put ICS on my phone instead of leaving GB (UCKH7) on there. Maybe since I was on ICS before I can get past the gapps force closing too and do a factory reset from the settings menu." Sure enough, after flashing stock ICS, I was able to get past the darn wizard and toy with it. I do have problems of course: calendar still force closes, and the phone will randomly reboot after some period of using it. But at least I was able to access stuff.
My data was all still there, all pictures, contacts, settings, etc. I realized that before I do a data wipe/factory reset, I should heed the emmc superbrick bug warning and NOT do that with stock ICS kernel. I still had ES file explorer and root access, so I went in and manually deleted all data as much as possible, to make it look like my phone did have a factory reset done as I said to the AT&T representative. I've deleted wifi access points, browser history/cookies/cache, all contacts, texts, pictures/videos, downloads, all CWM zips and backups, all installed apps, all accounts that were signed in...
My newest questions are:
1) is there anything I'm missing that I should delete so that my phone does not look like it's been modified in any way? Also, any personal data I'm missing that needs to be deleted? I still have root access so I can delete anything I want.
2) Should I go ahead and risk the brickbug and actually do a factory reset/data wipe, or should I just let it be since I've deleted most things manually (and not potentially send them a useless brick lol)? Actually, since I'm rooted, I can install Mobile Odin to flash a CWM-enabled kernel, then wipe data/factory reset safely from there; that is, assuming my phone doesn't do a random reboot in the middle of flashing the kernel. I do run the risk of it rebooting while flashing and possibly bricking something else. So should I do that and take that risk, should I take the risk of wiping data from the stock kernel, or is there no reason to take either risk anymore?
3) Is there anywhere I can find a non-rooted stock UCLE5 ICS Odin-flashable tar, that I can flash before sending the phone back?
How about:
1. Flash back to stock GB
2. Wipe Data
3. Upgrade to stock ICS via kies or OTA

Thanks for your help, but I can't do that. If I could, I wouldn't be stuck in this predicament.
Power key doesn't work at all, but it is necessary to make selections in stock 3e recovery. Hence, I can't wipe from recovery, either on stock GB or ICS.
Stock GB rom doesn't boot past Setup Launcher due to gapps force-closes. These force closes prevent me from reaching the settings menu within stock GB to do a wipe there.
My two options for wiping data are using stock ICS ROM (under settings menu), or flashing a custom kernel using Mobile Odin, then wiping with the home key in CWM. Both are risky: stock ICS ROM uses the stock kernel to wipe, possible brickbug there. My phone currently experiences random reboots without warning; a reboot during a Mobile Odin flash could also brick something. My question is, should I do either one, or neither at all?
What about wiping through ADB?
Adb shell
Wipe data
Or
Adb recovery --wipe-data

Well, that previously wasn't an option on GB since I couldn't put the phone in debugging mode, but I can now in ICS so in theory it should work. The question now is, will the phone do one of its random reboots while I'm working with it in ADB...

I used cf-auto root on my phone. It trips Knox but I didn't care about that. You can find it in the original development forum.
As far as what to wipe for a custom ROM just read the first few posts of the ROM you are looking at and the Devs will be very specific as to the steps needed to avoid potential issues.
All the Devs here are very helpful if you have any issues as well.
Hope that helps.

Welcome to the community, bro.
Here's a starter set of instructions, followed by a backup set if you get stuck. [Make sure that you are on MJ4 prior to doing this.]
---------STARTER STEPS
1. Download TWRP (tar/odin flashable) from teamw.in (V2.6.3.7)
2. Download and install Samsung drivers for mobile phones (you may already have these installed)
3. Download Odin V3.07 (you may already have this too, link takes you to what appears to be a master thread for Odin)
See this post for a nice visual and comments, pic and thread provided by a fine gentleman that has about the coolest user name I've seen on any forum
At this point you can decide whether or not you want simply stock rooted, which TWRP can give you without flashing anything, or if you want to install a basic stock rooted rom, kindly provided by @freeza, can select DeOdex or Odex, thread here
4. Download MJ4 DeOdex or Odex and place it on your phone
5. Power off your phone
6. Put your phone into Download Mode (voldown+home+power)
7. Flash TWRP with Odin and boot into it once done (volup+home if Odin auto reboots your phone or volup+home+power if it's off)
8. If you decided to simply go stock rooted, then go to reboot>system and TWRP will ask if you want root, if not, then proceed to flash MJ4 DeOdex or Odex
9. Profit
---------PLAN B IF ABOVE FAILS YOU
[Some just can't get Odin to play nice with the TWRP tar, don't know why.]
1. Follow QBKing77 video and install root using CF method, thread here
2. Download img file for TWRP from Team Win site, flash using app from Play Store called Flashify
3. Flash recovery
4. Follow the rest of the outlined under the heading "Starter Steps"
---------AFTERTHOUGHTS...
Once successful, go into TWRP, backup only your EFS, then separately, backup boot, system, and data. Throw your EFS backup on your PC and Dropbox in case of emergency (hopefully you won't need it).
Pick a rom you like, and start fiddling. Support the devs, have a blast.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Yeah, it is. But there's a reason I layed the steps out so broadly and specifically; half of that was given to me (the stuff above the Plan B line) by one whom knows far more than most, and I still had to do the stuff for which I hadn't planned. Worse, I got stuck at that horrifying yellow Sprint logo, with no bootup. I pulled my SD card and the battery, powered up again, and I only then had success. Most have no issues, but thankfully enough have that there were similar experiences conveyed across these forums.
I really hope that you have a trouble free experience.

Thanks for the file Freeza, will that work from Odin? I can get there, just cant get to TWRP unless phone is booted up normally.
Try the other volume button...

The button combo you're describing is taking you into the bootloader. Try the other direction with the power button to get into recovery.

You're going into the bootloader. Hold power+home+volume up. You'll get into TWRP, bro.

Haaaa, if it wasnt for dumb mistakes...I thought the down vol got you into TWRP as well. Doing a quick restore, hopefully it works.

No problem. Just don't let that this dispel ya. Pick a rom and start flashing. There are a lot of good choices, you've already tripped Knox, so have at it, defile the thing and make it work the way you want.

Yea, I won't let that stop me, I have flashed and used a lot of roms, just have to get used to doing it Samsung ways instead of HTC... Thanks again for the help.
