Hi all,
First of all, i'm not a total newbie, i have already flash HP Touchpad, Galaxy S and Galaxy Note with CM and OmniRom.
My problem is with Galaxy S2 : i9100.
I have already installed a compatible recovery (with Heimdall), found here on XDA : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/cwm-kit-kat-compatible-t2546597
I can go on recovery named (Android Recovery System (3e)), why it's not ClockWork ??
But, i can't flash any rom, i have always this message :
error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 7
I tried with adb, it's the same...
I tried to flash OmniRom, the same...
Could you help me please ??
If the recovery says '3e' then the CWM flash has not worked........
If, before you started, you were stock (4.1.2?) unrooted. You will need to flash a custom kernel to root your device and provide a basic CWM.......then you can flash your KK compatible CWM from within the existing CWM.........
If you *are* stock unrooted, you have two commonly used options....
1) use the android 3e recovery to flash PhilZ kernel.
2) use Odin to flash dorimanx or siyah or similar. Both will give you root and CWM, and in my own opinion, flashing PhilZ is easier.....
As with any 'non standard' procedure, read ALL the instructions before flashing.......

Hello people....
I am new to SGS3 xda forum....i am from Pakistan...its been 2 weeks since i bought a SGS3 (second hand)...probably of 3mobile U.K...i was told by the seller that the phone was unlocked in Pakistan....as i tried system update from settings...it said that my phone was modified and could not be updated....so i decided to install CWM Touch on my SGS3 in order to create backup of my current stock ROM (4.1.1)...my phone is not rooted yet....i followed the instructions given in the following link:
http://jellybean-news.blogspot.com/2013/02/complete-guide-to-install-clockworkmod.html
Odin took 1 second and my phone was booted....Odin gave the Message ''Pass!''...everything went fine as it should have been...but when i went into the recovery mod...Stock Android Recovery is opening instead of CWM Touch....noting my phone is not rooted yet....it is also normally booting and everything is fine....can anybody guide me about the problem that i am currently facing...and its solution as well....?? Help Would Be Appreciated...
Edit:Just Flashed CF-Root Pakcage Including SuperSU and CWM Manager with CWM v5.5.0.4....now it goes into CWM...but still one noob question....have my previous stock android recovery and CWM Touch been automatically deleted/replaced?...or they still exist?? Thanks
Sounds like you were trying to install a cwm without being rooted.
Cwm replaces the stock android recovery. You could now try flashing the cwm touch through your current cwm. Make sure its a zip. If you come and ask for help You should really follow a guide on xda though. They are the best guides around.

When you flash a recovery you will delete the previous recovery in doing so, your stock and touch are both gone - replaced with v5.5.0.4.
You can now boot into CWM and install a better recovery, try Philz touch recovery for instance.
Respect members,
I recently decided to upgrade by Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 from default 2.3.4 to "PACMAN Custom Rom" which looked amazing to me. I haven't USB cable so after a bit search, i found "Framaroot" and rooted by mobile. I have downloaded the "PACMAN Rom" but the only problem i have is that i am unable to flash "CWM recovery" without USB. Is there any solution? And if Once i flash "CWM recovery". Should i install "Dorimanx Kernel" as suggested by "bluefa1con" ? Dorimanx Kernel in its thread clearly states that you shouldn't flash the kernel if you are using GingerBread. Then how should i update? Should i just let the PACMAN Rom use the Stock Kernel.
Please don't mind if it seems kiddish because i am completely new to this.
Your Help is Appreciated.
You can flash cwm recovery without usb, you just need to find to correct package and flash it via stock recovery, i think you will need JB bootloader too tho. But, i don't recommend first time flashing without a USB cable, if something goes wrong you can't use odin to go back, so just borrow one or buy one, they aren't expensive, and you can flash JB stock via odin and then flash a custom rom, that would be better imo.
Either use the appropriate CF kernel to root and install CWM, or upgrade to JB/ICS using Odin and flash Siyah/Philz kernel. Then, once u have CWM recovery, flash your desired custom ROM.
I have trued to read and search the forums, but I haven't been able to figure a definitive answer to this...
When I flash CWM on my S2 using Odin, does it root the phone ?
I usually Root (with framaroot), Flash CWM, Flash CM 11 nightly, Re-root using framaroot.
But Can I just do : Flash CWM and Flash the CM 11 nightly ? does it auto root ?
What do you mean, 'usually'? Why is it that you can't just flash each new build of Cm11 from the previous one? Why do you need to re-root in the first place?
When I rooted my phone, rather than using a one-click such as framaroot, I flashed a kernel (siyah in my case) using Odin. That gave me CWM and root. That cuts out the step you're trying to to eliminate, if I've understood your question correctly?
I'm not sure in answer to your direct question, try it and see. Hopefully the alternative method I just gave you makes it a little quicker though
Edit : you could, if flashing CWM only doesn't give you root, just flash SuperSU from there and then continue.

Well mate your question is tricky to understand :cyclops:
1. NO installing CWM wont root your device requires another process (such a framaroot)
2. Aftrer installing CM 11 you dont have to re-root the mobile because CM comes prerooted with superuser !!
3. if you had already managed to install CM 11 think that you have already rooted your mobile
just for typing the 3 points my head spins in short no need for rooting after cm 11 ....and NO cwm wont root your device

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Why do I have to install CWM if I'm already rooted ? Can't I just framaroot then install CM 11 ?
Can I do a CWM, Cyanogen install without rooting ? Since CM already comes rooted. So jut CWM using odin, then CM install ROM. ?
Other question, Let's say I root, flash CWM, flash a ROM (any rom), can I be unrooted after that and have to reroot again ? Or do ALL roms come pre rooted ?

CyanogenMod comes rooted. Also, the default recovery on CyanogenMod is CWM as well, so you can boot into recovery with volume up + home + power and flash a new build from there. You don't even need to use framaroot or flash CWM using Odin...
And yes, most (almost all) custom ROMs should come rooted unless you're flashing stock Samsung ROM through Odin. Besides, if you're flashing something in recovery, I don't think you need to be rooted.

Just to make sure that you understand everything i'm segregating your questions
1.Why do i install CWM when i'm already rooted?
Rooting is a process which just gives your overall control to your device, but just rooting wont make you eligible to flash any ROMS. Now when your install CWM (Clock Work Mod) its a unique type of recovery which enables your to flash Custom Roms. Your ordinary stock rom (your samsung firmware) also does have a recovery (stock recovery) which cannot penetrate into system files. So CWM is a must to flash roms !
Can i do a CWM and flash Cyanogenmod?
Absolutely NO!! Just because CM comes prerooted doesn't mean that you can flash CM without rooting.. CWM requires root to flash and change system files. For instance your are in Stock Samsung Firmware not rooted you just install CWM flash Cyanogenmod and you'll end up in a bootloop or softbrick. Since your system didnt allow files inside coz no ROOT!!..In the other hand if your already running Cyanogenmod (any version) you dont have to root nor flash CWM because they come prerooted and preinstalled with CWM.so you can flash on the go
Let's say I root, flash CWM, flash a ROM (any rom), can I be unrooted after that and have to reroot again ? Or do ALL roms come pre rooted ?
Well cyanogenmod has an inbuilt function to disable root and most of the Roms comes with it now it can be found in settings >developer options> and root access...but not all roms im assuming. on the other hand yes some roms never come prerooted such as (omni rom 4.4.2) where you have to flash superuser to get root. But as i said incase of all prerooted roms there is an option to disable root
hope this helps you understand about rooting and cwm :good:
Thank you both for your answers, I understand much more now.
BUT
Last two answers are in conflict. They say the opposite.
which one to choose ?
hi guys

You don't need root to install a rom on those things. What is the error when installing the custom recovery? Does it flash successfully but once you boot to recovery, it isn't there? If so, it's because you have to make sure to boot to recovery BEFORE you allow it to boot to the operating system first. The phone has a script built in that checks to see if the recovery has been modded and rewrites the stock one to it. When the phone goes to auto reboot after installing the recovery, hit the button combo to enter recovery immediately, do your backup, then follow installation instructions for the rom you want.
If this is NOT the error you are receiving, please describe it.

All philz touch cwm version for your device in various formats to flash with.

[Xperia Neo L - Customized Stock ICS]
I looked into it a bit, and pretty sure I know why you are having issues. This particular model has the recovery built into the kernel, so you actually need a kernel with the recovery part already replaced with a working custom one that is specifically for your firmware. There are 2 methods to install.
Odin: http://d-h.st/me0
Via Update via Zip in stock Recovery (3e): http://d-h.st/FpR
What slot are you trying to install from? It should be the AP slot for Odin 3.09.
If you want to try TWRP, well, it only works with 4.4.2 and comes prebundled in some Kit Kat roms like Omni
Hey everyone. I decided to revive my S2 but I ran into a problem and I can't solve it. I lost count of threads I read and I still don't have an answer. Can someone guide me step by step how to flash CWM and ROM to my SGS2 (i9100)?
At the moment I have stock ROM flashed using Odin since all my tries to flash latest CWM and ROM ended in a bootloop or I didn't even manage to flash anything. If I try to flash CWM through stock Android recovery, it says "Signature verification failed". I flashed Dorimanx kernel using Odin to get the recovery but then I couldn't flash ROM because it said "E: Can't mount sd card". I tried flashing Resurrection Remix ROM.
I have no idea what to do because everytime I think something new, I run into these 2 errors. It would be great to get some help.

I downloaded the kernel from here: http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100 but I get this error: E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7). Above this, in the yellow font, it says This pacakge is for galaxys2, i9100, GT-I9100, GT-I9100M, GT-I9100P, GT-I9100T, SC-02C', devides: this is a ' '. How can I fix this?

Kernel not just recovery.
I think you need to read the thread before flashing away and possible bricking you're phone.
Rooting and installing cwm is basic stuff. Bricking is common place too.

Do you mean this http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/Stock (Download doesn't work) ? I can't find any other links there for the latest version.
I'm not really scared of bricking my phone since I won't use it without flashing it correctly anyway. I have flashed it few times successfully in the past but now I can;t do this and it's really annoying. I flashed my friend's phone without any problems but I can't do that for myself.
