Okay, im trying to flash custom recovery on my Optimus one [Stock 2.2] Rooted with Z4root [permanent].
First step is to donload 3 files
Kernel and the 2 files from this thread.
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
I've unzipped flash_image.zip and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img.zip at the root of my SDcard [empty one, 2GB] And put there the kernel.zip [as it was!]
I opened a terminal on my Optimus one and writed down the commands from the topic i've found above.
Now im stuck at
Code:
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
after typing this command i get a message over and over again that says "cannot read from location" or ""no such file or directory"" or something like that.
Anyone can guide me step by step ? I dont get it how the whole procedure must be done :/
That step is not required,it has something to do with "sticking" the recovery so it won't revert to the original.You can safely continue on to the next step
So i just ignore it, right?
Is there a risk on bricking my phone on flashing as far as i know.
Except my mistake, on what else does it depend that?
I did all theese steps and my phone restarted on Stock Rom settings with everything wiped out :S
[i have a backup of apps with titanium backup and vcf contacts etc etc..]
... but... WTF! :S
any help?
Please tell us in more detail what steps you have done.
Also, if you only want to install custom recovery, what do you need a "kernel.zip" for?
Which kernel is it, where did you get it from?

Ι did exactly the steps from this topic
http://androidforums.com/getitnowma...ry-optimus-one-p500-thunderg.html#post1896517
i ignoring as i said on my first post the message "no such file or directory"
after typing a command as NikolaMK told me to just ignore that.
After typing EXACTLY theese commands, phone restarted as i expected but with fresh stock rom!
[the kernel is the one with the cpu on touch fix.]
It restarted, but were you able to enter the custom recovery? When the phone is off, press vol down + home + power until you see the LG Splash screen.
Copy the flashimage.zip and extracted flashimage both to sd and do the steps again.
Also do the same with thunder zip.

It restarted but i didnt keep them off as far as i remember or didnt hold them for so long as it needed.
So in conclusion, if i dont keep them pressed, i lose chance on going onto custom recovery? Or not?
by the way, for safety i had zips extracted [except the one having the kernel i wanted to flash afterwards.]
Need as simple instructions as you can guys, im very conservative this time because i just have 1 week my phone right after repaired from last bricking.
I find it strange that your phone had the settings wiped after flashing the custom recovery.
I flashed it myself last Saturday, and all went well. Here's what I did:
Root phone using z4root
Install Terminal Emulator
Copy flash_image and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img to SD
Perform the steps in the androidforums thread.
Now, I also expected the phone to boot into the recovery when issuing the command "reboot recovery", but it didn't. It booted normally, but there was no wipe, all my settings were still there. On we go:
Turn off phone
Press Vol-Down, Home and Power at the same time and don't let go until the recovery has booted. If you've done that and only thing happening was the settings wipe, something has gone wrong while flashing the custom recovery, and you're still on stock recovery.
Maybe you should MD5 check the recovery.zip you downloaded and try flashing it again.
Try placing flashimage.zip, extracted folder of flashimage.zip, and also contents from extracted folder, all on to the sd along with thunderg zip and start typing the commands on terminal emulator.
Also make sure u have rooted the phone first.
This should do the trick.
There is a video on YouTube showing the steps.I've never seen the whole video before,but I think it will be of much help Try it!
1) Phone is z4root-rooted.
2) i have all needed combination of files on my SD Card meaning: Folder contents of zip, root of card zips, unzipped on root, etc etc... so the commands can "See" the files no matter what.
3) it rebooted without custom recovery installed.
If i press the button combo without having installed custom recovery, what do i get?
I'd like to see the video AsherChua mentioned above.
I had a similar problem as you, I had to use the custom recovery from here
NOTE: THIS IS WHAT I USED, IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK FOR YOUR PHONE

Is it safe to flash it on a Greek Optimus ONE ? [not "T"].

???????
I believe you're supposed to go to the recovery for default android.. I went to it once possibly by accident and never figured out how to 'enter' while I was in it. up/down is still the volume key but I didn't know how to use confirmation.
Let's suppose im doing the same steps again as on my 1st post
BUT ....
after phone freezes and right as soon as it gets black screen, i push the button combo, it will work, right?
Was my fault for not pushing theese keys after the reboot message of terminal?
Is it obligated to do this?
I think what you get when you press the 3-button combo without having custom recovery installed, is a memory wipe/factory reset/whatever you wanna call it.
My guess, that's what happened to you.
If you have sucessfully installed custom recovery you can enter it WHENEVER YOU WANT! Just turn the phone off, when it's off press the 3 buttons and keep them pressed. Works for me. If it doesnt for you, my only explanation would be that for some reason you didnt succeed in flashing the custom recovery and are still on stock one.
When you entered the line "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.1.0.img", did it take a while before the cursor reappeard so you could enter the next line?
i dont remember if it took a while for the cursor or it was instant.
If i press the key combo vol_down + home + power while turned off without custom recovery, nothing happens, right?
I dont want to risk for 3rd time of a wipe :/
It's boring to install again tbackup and restoring everything from scratch! :/
If you press it without Custom Recovery it will wipe again !
Hello all
I am having a small issue with GTab
I can reboot into recovery every time from the power and volume+ combination, but sometime will not reboot if I go to the menu and reboot (power-off) menu, or if I go into CWM ROM Manger and reboot to recovery. sometimes I get the in and other time just reboots everything comes up. just like rebooting from the menu at time quicker..
I am running CWM v.8 Vegtab 7.1.0
now I believe this start after I flashed from CWM ROM Manger the a version CWM .. can remember the version (sorry ) screen was Orange and had the logo CWM in the center.. this is when I noticed the problem, then I reflashed back to V.8 thinking that would fix the problem and it did not.
I hoping this make sense I know it not world stopping or fun stopping, but it is a pain..
hoping someone had seen this problem before.. and could give me some direction to look at
Jim
1. Using the Power and Vol + key is the recommended method to boot into recovery. Avoid using the other methods.
2. Uninstall ROM Manager. It works fine on phones, but, is known to cause problems on the gTab.
3. Make sure both your ROM and your CWM are built for your bootloader (1.1 or 1.2). Since you said you have VEGAn-Tab 7.1.0, you can find out the version of your bootloader using the info. in this thread.
Suggestions:
1. Copy the zip file in post #3 of this thread to the SD card and then "install" it (once) using CWM.
2. If you're on a 1.1 bootloader, these CWM versions are available: CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 and CWM-4.0.1.5
If you have the 1.2 bootloader install one of these CWM versions: CWM-3.0.2.8 or CWM-4.0.1.5. All are available on this board. Do a search.
thanks rajeevvp
I am using bootloader 1.1
every step worked great.. you are cool android person..
went with CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 since that what I had in the first place
Are there any pluses going to CWM-4.0.1.5?
thanks for your help again..

I like that it tries to use the external SD card first and only then falls back to using the internal one for backups, restores and update.zip installs. Other than that and the new menu colours, there aren't a lot of externally visible differences.
More info. in this thread.
rajeevvp,
thanks for the information.. about version of CWM.. I think I found the one that will not work with the reboot menu "power off" menu.. I have installed CWM-4.0.1.5 and tried the menu option and also running GScript to reboot in recovery mode and will not do it all the time with 4.0.1.5.
what happen is that is just boots normal, which is not a bad thing.
and I know you do not like the idea of going into recovery mode without doing the power and volume + method.
just thought you would like to know what I found out.
thanks again for all your help..
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?

I didn't understand this. Are you saying that CWM-4.0.1.5 does not do "Reboot recovery" correctly everytime? And the ROM also? Both should usually work (but, I don't recommend it) on the 1.1 bootloader.
Now if I want to go back to bekit-0.8 would you I need to do the erase misc like I did before?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No need. Erase misc only if you get stuck on the 3 birds or if you go into a reboots-into-recovery loop--both of which are unlikely given your CWM (bekit-0.8 or 4.0.1.5) and bootloader (1.1) versions.
rajeevvp,
Sorry for the late Reply..
only it I use Gscript reboot to recovery, Menu from the shutdown .. Select reboot and then either reboot or reboot recovery.. if I am using CWM-4.0.1.5 with VegenTab 7.1.0
I can always go in to recovery mode from the volume and power button combination.
using bekit-0.8 I can get it to reboot into recovery from anywhere..
yes, I thought it was werid too..
thanks for all your help
Jim
I don't recommend doing "Reboot to recovery" using any tool--GScript, the ROM option, or the CWM menu item. Your tablet may "hang" at the 3 birds splash screen or go into a "always-reboot-into-recovery" boot loop.
Hello i tried putting a recovery on my san francisco i used a method from sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk and it said it was converting it to gen2 then it installed cwm 5.0.2.0 that worked the only this is it wouldnt boot into the rom only the recovery so i tried reseting it and tried other roms but now its just doing the same, where do i go from here?
What you need to do is download the rom on your pc, then remove your sd card and copy the rom into the root directory of the sd. You don't unzip the files just leave it zipped.
Boot into recovery pressing the power button and Either up vol or down vol not sure which one (it's a long time since i've had a San Fran).
It will then boot into Clockworkmod Recovery.
scroll down using the volume keys to backup and then press the home key to select it.
Then repeat the process for factory data/wipeCache/Dalvik Cache
When you have done the wipes
scroll down to install zip from sdcard, select it, then slect choose zip from sdcard
scroll down to the zip rom and select it, then scroll down to yes install ziip select it and let it run, when it's finished reboot the phone
it should reboot with the new rom installed, it could take 5-10 minutes for the phone to reboot.
Good Luck
PS make sure the roms you download are for Gen2 or if its a Gen1 download a Gen1 rom, you can tell by installing an app called Mr Pigfish which will tell you what gen your OSF is.
The phone doesn't boot to the Tom at the moment so I can't check and I have done this but still no luck :/

Thank you it looks very promising but its quite late now so I'll do it tomorrow thanks
I tried that but the links were broken, but i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855 i used the cygan mod one and worked like a treat i love this rom im thinking about trying to get something like it on my main phone (samsung galaxy s) its so good the overclocking makes the sf so much faster!
I am no longer supporting this version of CF-Root. I have personally moved away from permanent custom recoveries. I will still be providing roots by way of CF-Auto-Root (click). The downloads in this thread will remain available, I just won't be updating them.
.
.
.
.
.
If you just want to get your device rooted ASAP, see this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root. This thread is for the recovery only.
Check your device model ! Settings -> About device -> Model number. This stuff is made for the GT-I9300 and GT-I9300T, if your model number has a suffix, it may not work, or if it is a totally different model, it will not work (may even brick) !
Not compatible with ROM Manager ! Use the CWM Manager provided instead.
Here's my port of CWM 5.5.0.4 to the SGS3. There's a second version number in the thread title, as I think there will be multiple versions.
As is the case with every SGS release (it happened with the SGS1 and the SGS2, and now again with the SGS3), CWM source isn't built to correctly deal with our setup (internal storage vs sdcard). I had to make a number of changes to the source to get it working correctly. From my tests, it all seems to work, but it's quite possible I missed something (report issues).
(I have tested backup/restore to both internal and external storage, wipes, installing zips from both internal and external, etc, all works as I expect it to)
Aside from the base fixes, there is currently nothing fancy about this build of CWM. I'm not sure if the SGS3 suffers from the brick bug (that SGS2 and Note have), but I patched out the relevant code to be sure (I think). Backups are rather big, system alone is about a GB.
I'll do more some other day!
Instructions - Short
Extract the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y zip file, to get the tar file you can flash in Odin as PDA.
Instructions - Long
- Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!
- Unzip the attached Odin3-vX.X.zip file
- Unzip the attached CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.zip file
- If you end up with a recovery.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-SGS3-CWM-vX.X-vY.Y.tar
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for the phone to reboot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)
New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it.
Navigation
In recovery, use the volume buttons to move up/down, power or home button to select, and back to go back.
Manually rooting
Note: if you're just flashing CWM to root, it is easiest to follow this thread instead: CF-Root. It includes this recovery in it's installation, and automatically installs root.
Applying root once you have this recovery installed is easy.
- Go to the SuperSU thread and download the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file attached to the first post
- Put the zip file on your sdcard (either internal storage or external sdcard will do)
- Put your phone in recovery mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-up + home + power to boot - release power after one second) - Alternatively, use the "adb reboot recovery" command
- Select "install zip from sdcard"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard" or "choose zip from internal sdcard" (depending on where you put the zip)
- Select the CWM-SuperSU-...zip file
- Done !
Root in ADB
If you root through recovery and are not running a custom kernel, chances are that ADB does not have root when Android is booted. You can enable root in ADB even on stock kernels by using the adbd Insecure app. This does require the device to be rooted!
When flashing a new firmware ...
... you probably want to keep recovery. Most stock firmwares include the stock recovery, so if you flash those with Odin this recovery will be overwritten. Alternatively, if you are using Mobile ODIN to flash, first open the firmware files you want to flash using the "Open file ..." entry (sometimes several times), then select the "Recovery" entry and press the "Clear" button in the popup. This way, recovery will not be overwritten.
CWM Manager
Also attached is CWM Manager, a tool I wrote to manage my CWM kernels and recoveries. Download the APK to your device and open it to install. You may need to go to Settings -> Security -> Device Administration first and enable Unknown sources.
Note that v1.1 or newer of my CWM build is required to use CWM Manager.
Flash counter
To reset the flash counter to 0, see the Triangle Away thread.
OTA's
Since v1.5, flashing OTA updates is supported directly using this recovery. You should however be aware that said OTA will most likely re-install stock recovery and remove this one. Furthermore, it may keep doing so every time you boot. CF-Root v6.3 (and newer) will try to disable this, it is advised you flash that. Just reflashing this CWM recovery will likely not help.

Recovery installed successfully.
But when I run ROM Manager, it says that I don't have any CWM installed. For example, if I choose the option "Copy current ROM", it issues the following message: "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing!. Install the recovery through ROM Manager first."

Root your Galaxy Star
WHAT IS ANDROID ROOTING?
Android rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphones, tablets, and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as "root access") within Android's sub-system.
Rooting is often performed with the goal of overcoming limitations that carriers and hardware manufacturers put on some devices, resulting in the ability to alter or replace system applications and settings, run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions, or perform other operations that are otherwise inaccessible to a normal Android user. On Android, rooting can also facilitate the complete removal and replacement of the device's operating system, usually with a more recent release of its current operating system.
HOW TO ROOT YOUR SAMSUNG GALAXY STAR S5282 OR S5280
Well, there are several methods to root this device, choose which seems to be comfortable for you
METHOD 1
Its best and safest method to root this device but this method works with only some of the firmwares. So first give it a try, If it doesnt work for you, then try other methods

iii) Now,choose puch supersu su binary to /system/xbin
iv) Click on push, and voila your device is rooted.
v) Download Superuser from playstore
METHOD 2
Its the easiest of the method but main drawback of this method is that you have to download file of large size.

WHAT IS CWM RECOVERY
ClockworkMod Recovery
ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM) is a replacement recovery option for Android devices, made by Koushik "Koush" Dutta. It is based on the Android 2.1 (Eclair) recovery image. Features include Nandroid backup, adb shell, advanced update.zip options (ignore asserts and signature checks), and file browser for choosing update.zips
The Rom Manager app may be used for installing CWM, overwriting the device's stock recovery. As with the stock recovery, CWM can apply software changes to the device. Unlike the stock recovery, CWM is able to entirely replace the device's primary Android operating system ("flashing a new ROM"), including with aftermarket replacements such as CyanogenMod. Once installed, CWM it is accessed by turning your phone off, then triggering the bootloader prompt by holding down some device-dependent button combination as it is turned on.
CWM is also known as clockwork and CW recovery.
PROCEDURE -
1. Install USB drivers from here
2. Download ODIN v3.07 from here
3. Download and extract the ClockworkMod tar file from HERE
4. Boot phone into ODIN mode. Forget? ( Press Volume Down + Home Key + Power key simultanaeously)
5. Connect your device to your PC via USB
6. Flash the tar file using ODIN v3.07
Enjoy!
Note - In some of the devices key combo doesnt work so you can fix it easily from here

WHAT IS CUSTOM ROM?
A custom ROM is one that has undergone any modification from being a pure distribution of Android. Google make the Android source code available for anyone to play around with, and people take this code and alter it for themselves. Whether to add features they come up with, or to redistribute it with fun tweaks and additions. So a custom ROM can range in definition from some custom code modifications to make Android run better on a device, all the way to changing the homescreen, background services, and default software.
GENERAL PROCEDURE FOR FLASHING ANY ROM ON S5282
i) Put rom zip in extsd (Memory Card)
ii) Boot To recovery using key combination(Volume UP+ Home + Power), adb or thru some app.
iii) Do Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache
iv) Flash rom by choosing option of Install zip from sd card and then select ROM zip file.
v) Now, Flash any other fix.zip file which is given by ROM dev.
vi) Now, Select Reboot System now
Enjoy the ROM!

WHAT IS STOCK FIRMWARE
This is the operating system in its default form, without any modifications made to it except for any device-specific support required to run it on the particular device. Truly stock firmware provides the standard user experience of the operating system without any cosmetic or functional changes made. These days, truly stock firmware is primarily found in cases where both the device and the operating system is built by the same company. Amongst modern mobile devices, examples of truly stock firmware can be found on Apple’s iOS devices, Palm’s WebOS devices and some Android devices shipped without any modifications made to the operating system by their manufacturers.
PROCEDURE
i) Download stock firmware from here & EXTRACT IT
ii) Download Odin 3.07 from here
iii) Then connect your mobile to PC in download mode(Volume UP + Home + Power)
iv) Press Volume UP
v) Open Odin 3.07 and the box will turn blue after you connect your device.
vi) Click on PDA and select the .tar file of stock rom
vii) Click Start
viii) Your phone would be restarted automatically.
Congrats! You are on stock

@Niku-Droid nice idea..
and here's some suggestions.. hope you don't mid :fingers-crossed:
* revert the font size of the disclamier/warning and the other texts.. the warning is in smallest text and other text are way too big.. it's good to use red for warning.. also, yellow texts on white aren't easily readable.. just stick to black, blue, red and maybe one/two other colors..
* while users shoul be allowed to choose whatever rooting method they use, also provide a recomended method to which is easy and convenient
in our case, cwm method.. cydia won't work on newer firmwares. so on cydia and pre rooted firmwares, they will have do download and flash 450+mb of file with odin.. whilst they can download 9mb of cwm just to get root..
* the dl link of cwm recovery you have provided is old one.. it wipes whole, /data partion when wiping data, so all the internal memory is lost.. the updated recovery also, allows installing zip files from internal memory... please suggest to use this updated, cwm recovery instead of the old one.. [Updated Recovery] CWM 6.0.3.7 for GT-S5282 and GT-S5280
* some of these phone have problem of not being able to boot into recovery with ( Volume Down + Home Key + Power key).. it would be good to point them to this thread, [GT-S5282] Fix Recovery Key Combo Problem for Galaxy Star Duos

in our case, cwm method.. cydia won't work on newer firmwares. so on cydia and pre rooted firmwares, they will have do download and flash 450+mb of file with odin.. whilst they can download 9mb of cwm just to get root..
* the dl link of cwm recovery you have provided is old one.. it wipes whole, /data partion when wiping data, so all the internal memory is lost.. the updated recovery also, allows installing zip files from internal memory... please suggest to use this updated, cwm recovery instead of the old one.. [Updated Recovery] CWM 6.0.3.7 for GT-S5282 and GT-S5280
* some of these phone have problem of not being able to boot into recovery with ( Volume Down + Home Key + Power key).. it would be good to point them to this thread, [GT-S5282] Fix Recovery Key Combo Problem for Galaxy Star Duos

did you miss samsung usb drivers in method 1 and 2. it's needed for all 3 methods.. so just say.. make sure you install usb drivers before any method..
also link to usb drivers.. people are just lazy to use google @[email protected]
and the cwm method needs some more steps for first time.. battery pulling and flashing fix.zip..

Giving u all the thanx i can
Now i can just give ppl the thread link instead of telling all the steps again and again
@Niku-Droid
flashing CWM for first time with Odin needs a little more steps.. if anyone just flashes, stock recovery will be installed again.. and i'm too lazy to write complete steps..
* power off wait for 10 secs
* boot into stock recovery with key combo
* pull out battery, put batter back
* boot into download mode connect to pc
* flash tar file with odin.. normal PDA flash, checkboxes are cute but don't touch 'em.
* it will auto reboot into cwm, now flash fix-recovery.zip with cwm..
* power off from cwm
* boot again to recovery with key combo to see if working..

okay.. just checked..
the fix-recovery.zip files deletes install-recovery.sh in /system/etc.... but the file is not present in latest stock firmware... it is used to check hash of recovery partition at every boot and flash stock recovery if it changed.. this is to replace any custom recovery like cwm or twrp with stock recovery for an OTA update..
so i guess sammy insn't planning any OTA for galaxy star/duos.. :silly:
