No, you don't have to name them back..... I've restored about 50+ times if not more all with renamed folders ( I use my phone as a tester for a few people ). It doesn't fail MD5 ( at least on 5.0 ). I had too many issues with 5.8 touch so I reverted.

Always sweet to update one of the most fundamental things about the phone. I might actually miss those endless hours of continuously pressing up/down when I'd have hundreds of folders in my unorganized phase lol.

Thanks for the guide. I brainfarted and tried flashing an .IMG with ClockWork Mod itself, I downloaded straight from the ROM Manager website. Wouldn't flash (obviously). Talk about a bad recursive method ;)

Do I need to Root the phone thru Odin to use this first?

I was wondering if I need to root the phone before flashing this recovery?

I have a HTC Sensation (s-off, rooted, running Coredroid V4, ICS 4.0.3), but wife has a SGII T989.

I would like to flash an already rooted ROM instead of using the SU flash.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
You don't need root when you are flashing the stock CWM(non-touch), so I'd imagine the same would apply.

Off topic, but:

This is a very ignorant thing to say. Such a circumstance can easily take place, and probably does all the time. Its far cheaper to sit at home alone and sperg out on ROMS than it is to go out and spend money in the real world. You really shouldn't speak authoritatively on a matter when really what you are doing is sharing an uninformed opinion. It seems like you're saying poor people are too stupid to use xda and flash a phone or are somehow incapable of having modern conveniences, like a cheap computer to get here in the first place or a subsidized and discounted phone.

There was a time years back when I lived off of ramen, once even resorted to paying rent with a credit card, and spent my free time playing WoW and doing other nerdy internet **** because that was about the only thing I could afford to do, and that wasn't as some babby college student in a dorm, nor did I have other obligations like a child to worry about, like many people do.

To others: I somehow doubt Koush is really thinking to those people, "well if you can afford Ramen sometimes, then you can afford to give me some Ayn Randian monies for a touch addon that I probably enjoyed creating (even though you know how to pirate if you wanted)."

All of this is not to say if you already spend 10 bucks a day on starbucks **** that you also should be a cheapass when it comes to actual work being done on your behalf. Buy it, I did (though long ago).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
I agree with everything you've said but let's just forget about it all.

Coming from someone who bought Rom Manager Premium quite a while ago, I still find it annoying for people who attempt to undermine everyone.

Nonetheless I'm more adventurous and find flashing thru ODIN, my BFF since the Vibrant, more exhilarating than RM Premium. :p

I'm finding quite a few of lags, skips and bad/no animations but I guess that's to be expected for an early(er) release. Still beats killing my buttons...

No I didn't know that the softkeys could be used as up/down :(

*Just to add to any more ign'ant bodies:

Koush publicly, and freely, distributes CWM Touch. So I don't how people, who've donated and purchased premium, justify looking and speaking down to others, who haven't or have donated to Koush or any other devpreviously, in this thread.

Literally everything on you NEED for development on our (and most other) devices is FREE. So if you're someone who has something to say about people being stingy and not donating, have YOU donated to EVERY cause, ROM, kernel, tool and app developer that of which you've used? If not just please do us a favor and shut up because you don't know the extent of any single person's situation beyond this forum.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkside79:
Still broken! Any idea when a working fix will be posted for the back up rom issues? And why are people still flashing this.when the back up rom option is broken? Even when using the new version with the file added. Still won't back up my rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
Maybe they are better off out looking for a job and settling their phone in craigslist then hanging out on xda...

Enough of topic chatter for me

Everything working here too i download from the clockwork site and did the terminal emulator method :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
I agree I never take battery out for Odin either. There is a definite truck to timing USB connection on bout that can drive you insane at first until you get it a couple times and I get that's where this came from someone got pissed and pulled his battery after falling to get too download mode and after re-insert they got it to load and they attributed more to battery pull than trial and error, thus a myth is born :)

This should also work with the t989d correct? because it's not. i touch the screen and it flashes and disappear then appears again. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
I flashed 5.5 and had the same issue. I restarted and it worked :) If I were you, you'll be better off paying the two bucks. Plus you will be supporting Koush :)

I like Juggs, with SGS 2 Streamline ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ElectricBubble:
i did and it still doesn't work =/ oh well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jacezo:
What is the terminal method? I'm on Mac so I can't use Odin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Just download the terminal emulator app from play store run it and put

Su

dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 bs=4096

Makesure the recovery.img is on internal sdcard not in download after the demands put reboot recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] daveid:
I find it counter-intuitive that touching the screen (at all) cancels any currently running process. I learned this doing a backup, fortunately I noticed (as it gives no indication) or else I would have had a very bad backup (part way through data). Is there somewhere I should report this other than in this thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jacezo:
I know I'm probably in the minority for using Mac but this works great, gave you thanks. Its possibly even simpler than using Odin. OPer should consider adding it to OP.

question

Im curious once we apply this to the phone we wont need to revert back this is what we will be using from now on?? i thought i came across a thread were one guy was having issues with this and someone said to revert back.. im just curious guys i cant give you the thread cause honestly i dont remember... thanks btw...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evil Avnovice:
Thank you for providing this. Being able to navigate with touch instead of volume/power buttons is both a godsend and very cool.

Either way, I can do both, so it's all good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
There should be no reason to revert back unless your not a fan of the 'touch' version and want to go back to standard recovery.

I'm really on the fence as to whether I wan't to change to the touch version. I too have read several posts about some either having issues with 'touch' or just not liking it. I'm very happy with the non-touch version, it's never failed me; but I've been flashing different ICS ports and on some of them, they're recommending using 'touch' to flash to prevent some of the user issues? I haven't had any issues yet, but I haven't flashed their ICS ports yet either. Not sure if I'm ready to try out 'touch' as of yet because of some of the issues I've read about...and some of them by trusted members.

There must be some additional changes to the touch version besides just the interface if one causes issues when flashing ICS and the other doesn't. This is whats holding me up....?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
I'm having a problem everytime I flash this. Recovery freezes at it boots in and on the bottom it says

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

(read-only file system)

I can boot back into my rom and flash the older recovery and it works normally again. Then if I try to reflash I get the same error.

I'm reading all these things about bricking my phone permanently so I'm kinda freaking out... Is something really wrong with my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Try wiping cache then reboot recovery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
I can't actually do anything in recovery. It's frozen. If I try to move to an option it just freezes then reboots itself into recovery like a recovery bootloop. So I can't clear cache or anything. Unless I reflash older CWM. Then my phone works normally. I'm not sure how I can clear the cache with CWM Touch...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
Did you ever get it to work. I just read your post and the first time I installed the touch version, I had the same error. I posted about it somewhere. I had read somewhere else about mounting and un-mounting the cache partition, so i did that, then went back and wiped cache and the error has never returned.

I was wondering if that was a carry over from the standard version of recovery I was using.

Same as you, a little freaked out about using touch recovery. I've had it installed for 3 days now and today was the first time I ran something from the touch version. It was only the fix permission script, but figured if that went okay, then maybe everything else would too. It did so maybe I'll work up to flashing a ROM with touch and see how it goes. :)

One other quick note: When I was in touch today it said Unknown E/sd ext, or something like that when I was wiping cache & dalvik cache. I went to write it down, but the script finished and it scrolled off the screen and now I can't remember exactly. I wasn't too worried though because I thought maybe it pertained to my SD card not being mounted or something...I don't know for sure. Anybody else have something similar? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
Recovery is set up to be used work any memory location set up - in days of old it was popular to move something (cache or something, I wasn't around them) to the external sd due to space limitations.

That message happens every time, and isn't something to worry about :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MystikMajik:
Hey, Sorry... I had actually given up then went back to the older version of CWM. But I just re-installed it today. I think it was because of the permissions issue with ICS that I was having that problem. I'm back on GB and have had no issues using it and that error hasn't come up. I think I'm just going to wait till a fully functional ICS comes out. Too many little issues that aren't a big deal but annoy the hell out of me.

Thanks for the heads up!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Fix perms its known to have issues see my thread about it in tmobile Samsung s2 Dev thread.

I write one script (v2) you flash anytime while in recovery with any ROM (you do have to have one full boot after initial flash before running) just keep it with other flashables like darkside super wipe. Then flash anytime. I also have fully documented a manual method to use when phone in recovery as well. Finally v3 of my script you flash after installing ROM manager (or anytime if not using it at all) and it replaces fix perms script ROM manger uses, or run via Android terminal). Clockwork version doesn't matter it is more how the mounts are utilized exactly fix perms it is basically set to wrong script interpreter (sorta) and a couple other things I adjusted and Minotauri edified for me).

I have seen some work being done to merge the fix to the recovery, but the way recoveries are designed it has to be packaged with the recovery image to be persistent.

hello

just curious but will this be compatible with all future roms.?? i really dont want to be flashing different recoveries all the time.. Ive read on a few threads that certain people have had to flash back to the original cause it wasnt working...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
well any ROM should be if things were to change they would state needs cwm version x or higher.

I use this for my recovery (newest clockwork touch) and flash any ROM even ones saying don't use touch as long as zip is meant for cwm and not Odin (cwm is most common)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
Thanks...It's all starting to make a little more sense. I've been trying to make out why some ROMs require touch and others not. I really thought the only difference was just the 'touch' interface?

But then I read in one post they thought the 'touch version' borked the cache partition or the mounts; and another post where it was the 'standard version' that caused issues with the cache partition. It leaves you scratching your head wondering what version to use.

So I now have the most current touch version through Rom Manager and I should be good to flash away. By the way, the only thing I have flashed with my new touch version was your permission fix and it did go perfectly....thank you!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Exactly, it seems to be bad flashes or user error being wrongly blamed on the recovery, only things are fix perms had issues with some ROMs (all ICS ROMs and a couple gingerbread), and NEVER FORMAT EMMC (INTERNAL USB) THAT INSTA BRICKED ME on restart (had to get new phone) DUNNO WHY THAT IS EVEN INCLUDED REALLY with e2fsck able to correct file system errors (think windows chkdsk) there is really never a reason to format internal storage.

Other than that which is same in every custom recovery on this phone so far (one is coming with fix perms fixed, but I just flash v2 fix perms pack anytime so doesn't bother me) I have flashed everything via touch with no issues (outside of bad flash and/or download or I accidentally missed a step when preparing for an ICS flash), but rare if you use wifi to download flash zips.

Yes you can partition sdcard to be ext then when you install apps there

The permissions can be setup so Android will allow widgets and other stuff to work. So instead of their method of creating directory in FAT that doesn't allow permissions to be saved with files failed to allow some app code to not work.

The community designed it so when you partition SD it links the apps so phone sees them as if on internal storage and had no limitations.

You are right though SD card access is slower on SD than on phone storage, shook should only be used really with an older device with limited phone storage. The T989 has plenty of storage do toy would only slow the phone down trying this (though you still can if you want to try it out).

I myself am more interested in dual boots now, working to see if I can pull off having ICS and gingerbread.

Thank You so much for this post. The thanks button is not enough to show my gratitude. I soft-bricked my phone and was using an apparently buggy version of CWMR which ****ed up a wipe of my phone and wouldn't let me install a new ROM etc. Without this guide I wouldn't have been able to install a workable ROM to stop the boot-loops. :laugh:

Clockworkmod to download mode with Odin

Is there a way to put a S2 with Clockworkmod recovery into download mode for use with Odin? I need to recover from a soft brick and can't figure out how to do this with this recovery

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
The recovery is irrelevant as far as going into download mode. You have while holding the down volume rocker. Then plug in your USB. There is also several tutorials in the dev sticky section that can help you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
yea people should just avoid this recovery all together...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] therockk:
Can anyone send me the link to download the newest 6.0.1.4 ClockworkMod for the T989D but in an Odin flashable .tar format? I see the instructions for how to flash the .img, but i screwed up my Galaxy S3 once by following the wrong instructions so im not comfortable doing that method. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
If you're rooted, use ROM manager. If not... check clockworkmod.com...

Or, just flash the old one, flash root, then use ROM manager.

I only say this as I'm not sure whether there is a .tar
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] therockk:
The issue with ROM Manager is that, the phone is a T989D, from Canada, And i also have an S3, with the S3 its also the Canadian version (i747M) i found that because its not the american AT&T Varient (i747), it wont show up in ROM manager when i press on "Flash ClockworkMod the phone wont show up in the list. Also my T989D dosnt have ClockworkMod installed already, it has a basic Android recovery on it. The T989D right now is on ICS, and i want to flash the CyanogenMod 10 on it, thats why i need the ClockworkMod. Any suggestios?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
try this

i followed that guide for my D and it worked no problem... and if it comes down to it, there are flashable zips for TWRP in its thread. you can odin that CWM, flash cm10... then use rom manager (which will work for you) to install cwm6. i'm running it just like that... only difference is that i went to cwm5 when i was on GB.

I was unaware that Samsung did the canadian variant again with the 3.... i'll possibly be getting one soon.... ugh...

Hi all!

Just a question related to the magnetic sensors ...

Anyone know the way to turn them off ??? by software or rmoving the corresponding driver .so from the system
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
why?
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
There is app on Android market that will let you disable the magnetic dock sensors. Search and you will find it.

As for why - it is simple. Most belt cases use magnetic latch that triggers either car or dock mode and drains battery. If you are not using either, disabling the sensors will solve this problem.
[Droid 2 Global General] donottouch:
I could not find any of them tried different keywords :( so now final solution try removing drivers.... my reason is when i put my phone into the holster goes hail-wire... and 2nd in the desktop dock oversleeps so whem my phone oversleep ... me too get late work.... thx

Is there any feature that can forwsrd my cell phone to like my house phone I don't have signal at home maybe a app or something? ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Dial *72 and your home number. To turn it off dial *73.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
It's built into your Verizon plan. Something like *72.

Edit: wow I'm too slow
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Does that code money or does it just use my minutes or is it minutes plus something
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Already included unless you have some weird plan. It will use your minutes as if you were on the cell phone. So nights & weekends + mobile 2 mobile + family & friends should be freeeeeee.

I think I saw an app that handles this for you... but my style has just been to add a contact called ForwardtoHome and set the phone number as the entire string. I also have one called UnforwardtoHome.

Another option that's pretty awesome is Google Voice. Check it out if you don't already know.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
I have Google voice but there is not a feature that I know of that forwards to another window
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
so it look as thought i just added my home phone google voice but the only problem is that when people call my actually cell number that doesn't really get forwarded at all..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
Yeah you need to tell everyone you got a new number and distribute your Google Voice number. I did it a year ago and it's awesome! If you set it up properly you can put your google voice number as friends & family and have free calls through google voice.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Cool man yeah I have had one for about year but too many people to distribute to bit the thing I am noticing is that my home phone only ring twice before it goes to voicemail anyway to fix this? ?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Bfitz26:
Plan on thanking you phone won't allow it do you know... :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Tucknology:
There's no setting in GV for this. Maybe your answering machine is picking up? Dunno, that's weird, I don't have that issue.

Believe it when I see it ;)
