[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MaddMan420:
I went from stock AT&T to one of the ICS roms, but decided to go back and flashed the stock back on. I'm getting an MD5 mismatch now when I try to flash CWM through Odin. Any ideas on what to do?

Edit: I read the OP's note about not changing the name of the backup, but I don't use backups.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
ah, sorry, my brain didn't seem to work correctly :(

try to redownload, should be fixed now, sorry
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MaddMan420:
Hmmm...Redownloaded CWM and tried to flash via Odin, but still getting the "MD5 hash value is invalid"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
i just tried it, and it is working for me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MaddMan420:
I'm guessing something happened in the process of me flashing back to the stock through Odin. I'll re-flash stock and try again.

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Hmm, still nothing. Did a factory reset/wiped cache before and after re-flashing stock and still getting an invalid MD5 in Odin. Any ideas at all? I'm just trying to get back on Saurom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
are you renaming the file?

you can try to remove the .md5 in the ending, that might work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MaddMan420:
Bingo. I forgot to delete the original one I downloaded and Windows was naming them in sequential order. I removed the "(1)" from the multiple and it flashed right up.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
I have the same issue, and tried in root explorer and terminal to change folder permission to create the recovery folder, but doesn't matter what I do, the system won't grant me permission to change /cache folder's permission. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
you need to be root, so either do it from cwm (you automatically have root)

your you do it from android, and there it depends, if you have da_Gs kernel, whcih autoroots, or if you have to enter su manually

so if you type adb shell, and you get a # as prompt, then you should be able to create the folder, otherwise type su (superuser on the screen might pop up and asks for permission), and then you should be able to create it, or use rootexplorer...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Thx, I did all that originally. The cache folder is different from other system folders. It's permission is locked even for rooted apps such as terminal emulater and root explorer. Not sure why.

It's not really a big deal. It's just annoyance seeing the error messages. Doesn't affect any function of CWM at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mkm29:
Sorry if this has already been said, but this is my first Android phone and I would like to put a new ROM on it. I got ODIN to PDA beta 4 and after reboot nothing happens, so I was wondering how do I use this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] L Unruh:
Flash cwm without being rooted ??

In post 224 on the thread for DA_G's root kernel, the point is made/suggested that a way to root ur note is to flash cwm and then use it (cwm) to flash (install) a rooted rom.

Would sure like to hear of confirmation that this works.

If this method does work, it is attractive, giving u the ability to back up the original, stock 'everything' for falling back on, and ability to root by flashing already rooted roms.

Guess the main point is can u flash cwm on an unrooted phone, and then flash a new rom through cwm on an unrooted phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
yes, that is a way to flash roms (rooted and not rooted), without modifying the kernel and stuff. There are a few people who flashed roms (or created backups) that way

with cwm you basically get root access to the phone, and you can modify/change system, kernel, modem and all that stuff...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] L Unruh:
Much thx, braway, thx button click 4 u.

Surprising using cwm in this manner isn't mentioned/discussed more.

I've read every page of the saurom dev thread, saurom q&a thread, DA_G's kernel root thread, and your cwm thread, and only seen this option mentioned one time.

Thx again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Johnsondr80:

Call me old fashion'd but i prefer this one over the touch one. And im sure others do too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vonhinkle:
This may be a dumb noob question, but i tried browsing the thread and don't see anything.

I flashed clockwork touch recovery, and can boot into it when i type reboot recovery from adb. But when i try to boot into it by holding the volume up and power button I can't get it to go into recovery, any help?

Edit: Sorry this is in wrong thread, will post in the touch recovery thread now...

Can this be flashed over another recovery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theinvisiblehand:
I have a very quick question: I rooted my note using Da_G method in another post. When I install CMW afterwards, do I also use the tar.md5 file provided in this thread, or do I skip it and go right away to flashing cwm? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tiberious:
Doe anyone have the Stock ICS Recovery in a CWM flashable format? I'm trying to return to stock for warranty purposes.

help

Trying to install Telus Note with CWM by way of Odin. Odin says everything is successful but cannot get device to boot into CWM.

It doesn't seem to be installed at all?

Appreciate any advice ~ Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
i think dd requires root if you want to access devices

so, if you do adb shell, and do not see a # as prompt

then you should type "su"

which should change you to root, and then try the dd command again

could look like this:

> adb shell
~ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
<some output>
# exit
~ exit

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ghettopops:
ok question, i am running TPC w/OC. if i want to install this can i just straight up install and do a wipe and be gtg or do ineed to do something else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
I somehow messed up the sdcard mapping, made it worse ;)

didn't have someone to test it, so I thought, since it's only a small change, why not release it... :(

I didn't hear of any problems like that yet.

I hope that cwm 5.5.0.4 (latest version) doesn't have this behavior, because I cannot really explain the data corruption (doesn't make sense to me) :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
you should be able to simply install it, you shouldn't need to wipe, since it should only affect the recovery partition...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
will flashing this recovery wipe everything out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
no it will just update your recovery. nothing else on your phone should change.

Flashed beta3 -- working pretty slick. havent tested a backup yet.. will do that later on when I need too. already have one backup now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
I flashed a pre-rooted kernel fine, then pushed over the modified libraries. However, when i go to flash this, odin gets stuck at Setup Connection:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Try putting your phone in download, then plug in into the USB and let Windows do its thing installing drivers or whatever it does, then open Odin when that is complete.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Thats what i did. Followed instrucions to a T. Tried flashing this the same way i flashed tge rooted kernel. The only difference is the cable im usig. Could this be it? The cable im usig works fine for charging and data transfer though.

*Confirmed*

Use the stock cable for flashing. lol.

<---is a n00b.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] capite:
I'm pretty sure I got this Beta 3 flashed - Odin said it was successful and things look different on my phone, like my battery meter.

But I just cannot get it to boot into recovery. I hold down Up Volume, Down Volume and Power all at the same time, but then my phone just keeps buzzing. If I let go, it just boots into Android.

Any tips?

ps. I can get into Download Mode no problem, by pressing the power button plus only the down volume button. At the top of the download screen it says "Custom Binary Download: Yes (1 counts)", which I didn't have before since I did the unroot method that doesn't cause the counter to go up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] garrett_tx:
hold up and down and power when you feel the first buzz let go of power and continue holding up and down until in recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kikex76:
They closed the beta1 thread; and couldn't get back to it. Thanks again man.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jesse6749:
I just flashed beta3 with this method and it worked!!!! :D

I used DoomLords rooting kit v4 files to do this too, since that is the only adb files that I currently have. LOL!!!

The only thing the text on this recovery is very tiny compared to b1 and b2, but I can deal with that and see that you are aware of the font issue :D.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] godfirst:
Works like a charm, even did my first back up and no FC's. Keep up the good work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kikex76:
It seems like you didn't use the right method to root your phone while voiding flash counts or you didn't use the advance install to install CWM. From this point on; don't worry about flash counts anymore, and just use the easiest method to restore your phone back to stock in case you have to. All other updates are going to come out in CWM flashable format.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dotdevil:
Sorry to ask this... but is it possible to get a flashable version..... im so exicted when there is an update... or further progress made..... im ready to work from the phone.... but im at work and have to wait 10 hr before i get home :-(

Wrong forum but here is your answer:

Thats because u don't use Odin to flash Saurom you use Recovery. Read the directions again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bbgt2:
Don't worry about it it has been fixed with Beta 3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ghettopops:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
the zip file is for updating from withing cwm

if you want to flash with odin, you need the tar file,

in the first post, there is a ODIN link (for flashing with odin), and a CWM link (for flashing with cwm)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Rocket42:
are you d/l the ODIN file to flash with ODIN or are you trying to use the CWM flashable zip with odin....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
if you already have cwm installed, then download the update zip (CWM link),

and install it through cwm, that will update it, without increasing the counter

to update cwm, you dont need to wipe anything,

you need to wipe cache (and possibly data) when you install roms/updates that change android system files/apks, cwm is not affected by data/cache at all

braway, is there any plan on releasing another version soon? I am not in a rush putting CWM on but if this is pretty much final, I may just do it now. Thanks for the work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] braway:
from what I see, the only outstanding thing is the usb mount, and I'm kind of stuck there, I might release a bigger-font version (of beta 4), but no "new" stuff until the usb mount is working

and with usb mount working, i guess I would call it "final"
