I don't understand your post fully, but why are you making things hard on yourself by playing with the options in Odin? Just follow the instructions I already gave in post #1.
[Galaxy S II General] milococo:
i do not play with option

when i open odin 1.85 is coming with

auto reboot checked and also f.reset time checked

for me is not working because odin stop working (crush)) all the time.

i just want understand what i'm doing wrong
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I don't know, I just put the tar file in the boot loader slot and flash.
[Galaxy S II General] milococo:
solved

if i use Mozilla to download the file the archive is corrupted

if i use opera everything is OK, flashed with Odin

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
CWM has been updated to 6.0.1.1. I haven't checked out the new features but the normal backup/restore operation works fine.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Nicely done. Is this the touch version or the normal version? Again thank you for being awesome
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It's the normal version, I haven't looked into touch capability. Will investigate it in the coming days.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
I Flashed it last night. and i havent seen much difference other then the back ground is different and it seems the android icon guy is more animated. it works great.

thanks again for all you do.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It's supposed to be faster, and it shows the names of the files while backing up / restoring (I suppressed that feature in the previous release due to hanging caused with long file names).

If you put an empty file called ".hidenandroidprogress" under the /clockworkmod folder on your sdcard, it will suppress those names being displayed and make it even faster.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Ok nevermind, I give up. I have no idea how to build a CWM touch recovery from the CWM source.

There is a CWM Recovery Builder online that produces a CWM Touch Recovery automatically but the new recovery image won't boot. I think the online tool needs more info in the BoardConfig.mk (such as the ramdisk load address, which it didn't use, but I needed to supply that for our existing CWMs to boot).
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Working Touch Recovery

Whoaaa... nevermind. I just hex-edited the ramdisk load address in the recovery.img, and now it boots!

[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
WOW!! the Touch recovery is awesome. to bad about the reboot to recovery deal. i wonder what has changed to make that happen again.

oh well it is awesome

thanks again for everything you are doing.

Cheers mate.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Well, I generated this Touch Recovery using an online tool. If I had the source code (like I did with the normal recovery) then maybe this problem wouldn't happen.

Anyways, no big deal, you can select Reboot and then hold down the two volume buttons to get to recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] Dios2727:
++Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Exactly thanks again. it is awesome to be able to save my buttons ha ha.

cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] 51dueller:
The touch version can't flash Cyanogenmod. It gives an error like the one on page 2 of this thread. I switched back to the non touch version and it flashes perfectly fine. I've been running Dexrom and figured I'd see what its like.
[Galaxy S II General] 51dueller:
double post
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Yup, I noticed the same thing just now! LOL. Sorry about that. I'm actually building a new CM9 build right now with an updated 'assert' statement that will accept the Touch CWM.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Okay so the new version of cm9 will now support the Touch Recovery.

Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE no display

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE from Korea (Korean version)

I did the same like you and tried to flash my SHV-E120K (SGS2 LTE 4G) with SGS2 files. I used Odin -v1.83- and It has failed with a red FAIL! message. I thought that nothing happend and gave up and unplug it from my computer. And after that, the phone didn't respond any input (power button, 3 button to dl mode, re-plugging to usb,...). No sound, no screen, no viration, just a black brick :o... The situation resulted in a black hard bricked SGS2 LTE 4G. Windows 7 only plays a USB plugged-in sound and ends with an unsuccessful driver installation progress (seen as QHSUSB_DLOAD) and there is not any other feed back. I tried to find and install this QHSUSB_DLOAD driver (I don't know if it is the right one but I found it as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008") and It also didn't help to the device being seen as a plugged USB device. In short, I cannot reach the device in anyway over its USB interface.

Finally i found the driver of QHSUSB_DLOAD and installed it now Odin is showing Added but when i want to install clock recovery mode it's hanging in the setupconnection message because i cannot boot the phone to even download mode..

I would appreciate if someone has a solution or some idea. :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] Ramirezz:
dsixda, my phone have downloaded an update (232.87 MB, I hope it's ICS) rebooted and shows ClockworkMod Recovery menu (Touch version for SGH-I757). What item should I choose?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
If you have an OTA update then you shouldn't combine it with a custom ROM or CWM or anything. Flash back the stock recovery..
[Galaxy S II General] bbsv088:
Is the new Bell ICS rom being rooted already?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
It's being uploaded right now on my home PC while I am at work.

It is also uploading the new factory image.
[Galaxy S II General] bbsv088:
Good stuff.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Of course if the server was reliable we'd have it up by now. Gahh.... Uploading again.
[Galaxy S II General] taour:
This may be a really stupid question but I have to ask.

I was using your CWM and had a custom rom (dexrom) installed. I updated with the samsung update to ICS and it replaced CWM with stock. Can I re-flash CWM at its current version?
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Yes

BTW the rooted 4.0.4 ROM is up, under the "Other Custom ROMs" folder.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Now that the rooted ROM is finally up, I'll give a 3rd attempt at uploading the factory image for 4.0.4 ;)
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
can I just update this from CWM. Do I need to do anything before flashing this(other then wiping everything data,cashe,delvik)? its been sooooo long since i have done anything other then CM9/CM10

haha

thanks man you are a rock star.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Yes it's for CWM only. I think you need to hard reset ... but if you did the OTA update instead of this ROM then you don't need to... But you need to flash the stock recovery in that case.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
do i have to be on stock 4.0.4 before installing the rooted 4.0.4? or can i go strait from cm10 to it?

sorry again its been a long time.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
You can flash the rooted ROM without a factory reset only if you're coming from the new stock 4.0.4.

Remember... Do a wipe if you're coming from a different ROM base.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
So i went to do a nandroid restore and it says md5 mismatch????

Anyone know how to fix this
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Did u back it up with same version of cwm?? Can't restore with 6.x if backed up with 5.x...
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Ya i have been on the touch since it came out and did ics and jb on it. but i did a back up to my computer so i just put it back on. so i hope it works............ and nope the JB backup was done well yesterday. on my same touch cwm. that is so lame. any suggestions???

ill try reflashing it.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I don't know man, ask Koush the guy who wrote it ;) I just build the stuff and move on with my day, I'm not tech support ;) My guess is a good as yours unfortunately.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
ICS 4.0.4 factory image has been uploaded to my dev-host account. FINALLY!
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
Thank-you for the rooted 4.04!!!

It fantastic to finally have!!!

Will you be providing a De-Ox'd version? (I forgot how much of a pain not being able to adjust system file permissions is.)

Either which way! Thank-you for everything you have done for the community thus far!
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No I never deodex cos I never need to and sometimes it doesn't work, so it's a waste of time for me personally. However you can try to do it with my kitchen with the same custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
I might try this... it seems daunting but is Deodex'ing what is necessary to be able to adjust file permissions? I do agree that my use for this is really limited. I personally prefer to delete most of the audio notifications and ringtones as well as add mine to the system folder. Its just nice to still hear my phone even when I am backing up photos or changing music on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
No, deodexing is used for theming and custom battery icons etc..
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
Then, I guess all I am trying to do is gain the ability to adjust file permissions so I can delete and replace files in the system folder. I am not developer... that's for sure.
[Galaxy S II General] bbsv088:
Thank you, I see it already.

I have the .zip file copied into my SD and then used Odin to flash the CWM recovery. The version I have is 5.5.0.4b.

After flashed and reboot, it still come back as the stock rom recovery.

I am trying to download the 6.0.0.1 version and try again, but that file is being worked by Devhost and not accessible now.

So, I am stuck since last night.

Can you send me the file by email in any chance? or does the 5504 version supposed to be working with 4.0.4?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Modem has been uploaded

The Bell ICS modem has been uploaded to my dev-host account as a flashable zip in CWM. See the Factory Images folder. This should help those who flashed CM9 or CM10 and didn't use the Bell ICS update.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
All of them work with any ROM. CWM should be the easiest and quickest thing to flash.
[Galaxy S II General] bbsv088:
help!!! flashed the CMW 5.5.0.4 into the stock 4.0.4 100 times and still get the default blue recovery after reboot.

Is there anything special I should do in Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] heinzey:
*figured it out*
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
In case you have problems downloading 6.0.1.1, check the 'temp' folder under SGS2 LTE HD in my dev-host account for a mirror version.
[Galaxy S II General] bbsv088:
Thanks, just downloaded the 6.0.1.1 version and flashed through Odin 1.85. After reboot and into recovery mode, the dreadful blue default recovery comes out again. wonder if anyone else experienced the same.
[Galaxy S II General] Toroncan:
First of all thank for all your hard work, much appreciated.

I rooted my SGS2 LTE and flashed CMW9 but can't seem to find the auto-answer for my Bluetooth headset, any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
Search a cm9 thread. I've looked but I'm on cm10 so it's different and i couldn't find it quickly.
[Galaxy S II General] Toroncan:
I did but no luck, I had it set before but it reverted back somehow. I need this when I'm driving etc. Anyone have an idea? I've checked every tab under system settings and the phone dock itself.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I have no answer to your question, but please keep the threads organized --- CyanogenMod 9 questions belong to the CyanogenMod 9 thread. You're better off getting answers there. This thread is for CWM only.
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
Happened to me recently. Followed the instructions and flashed with Odin, but can't seem to get clockwork mod recovery to boot. Only the original android recovery boots. Have you figured out how to fix this issue yet? For me, everything seemed to pass and download through Odin to my phone, so not sure why clockworkmod doesn't boot.

---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 PM ----------

I've tried scanning through forums and tried browsing the web for answers, but I'm still having trouble. I own a Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE, and I've recently updated to Ice Cream Sandwich OTA. However, I've been trying to root and flash clockworkmod recovery on the phone, following the instructions carefully. I've hooked up my phone and used Odin to flash the .tar file to my phone. (USB debugging on) Everything seemed to have passed and downloaded just fine. However, when booting up into recovery, clockworkmod recovery doesn't seem to load, only the normal, android recovery mode boots. If anyone can guide me and help me out with this I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
Same Problem!

I too have been experiencing this same problem! It was working fine before when I still had the Gingerbread version running on my phone, but now that I have the OTA ICS update from bell, ODIN claims to work but I am also stuck with the default stock recovery! It seems that we are desperate for help!
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
Exactly. It's really annoying. Can't seem to find an answer right now. Let me know if you come across a way to fix this! In the mean time I'll keep reading around. There has to be some easy way around this as it has obviously been successful for other people, and hopefully it can still work with Bell's OTA ICS update.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
Ya I totally agree. I will continue to keep searching and I'll keep you posted if I find anything! But to be honest, the new OTA ICS update from Bell is dreadful anyways lol. I was attempting to try out the CM10 jelly bean mod, just to test it out. But then I hit this brick wall.

Anyways like I said I'll keep you posted if anything.
[Galaxy S II General] rmlsalta:
Great help.. thanks..
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Actually maybe it's a bootloader issue. Did the ics update include a new bootloader inside it? I can't check at the moment.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
how did you manage to fix this issue? I have been trying to figure this out for hours now
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
I'm fairly new to this, so I wouldn't be able to say for sure. All I know is that it's a pain in the behind to figure out why it can't work smoothly. Those with knowledge, experience and expertise--I'm 'rooting' for you to help us figure this problem out. Something with Bell's junk ICS update is preventing the .tar clockworkmod recovery file from overwriting the stock recovery and booting so we can flash clockwork recovery on our phone and flash cyanogen mod 10 etc.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
if you are referring to the issue with the stock recovery coming back, then i am not sure if this is what has happened. But I am curious, when you go into download mode, it tells you if you have an official samsung recovery or a "custom" one. When you update using the OTA version, it says official samsung, yet even when you use ODIN to flash the CWM, it says custom, yet there is still no difference.

Quite curious.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

hey guys,

just found this link that may give some sort of clue to our current dilemma....

andwise.net/?p=292
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
I've checked out the link you posted. Great find! Have you tried any of these options yet? I'm still trying to figure out how to even perform any of them. I'm sure it may be easy, but since I don't do this often it seems a bit confusing. Option 3 on the that site seems to require clockwork recovery as a prerequisite already flashed and working on our phone? If that's the case then I guess that option is useless. The other two options I'm having some trouble understanding. But this may be a fix afterall--we're getting closer!
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
I am attempting to do the first option since we obviously dont have CWM nor are we rooted at the current moment (thanks to the OTA update), and im at the point of successfully extracting the boot.img, but i am trying to learn how to edit the init.rc on this thing in order to make the changed we need, so far, no luck lol.
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
Well if you figure it out and it does work for you perhaps you can write a brief tutorial for me lol. Step by step on how to even do step one. To be honest I'm usually good with this kind of stuff but I'm just learning how to do this. I don't have a clue. If someone explained it to me I can learn fast. Extract the boot.img to a folder on my PC? Or is there some more elaborate method I don't know about hha. Also, I don't know how to open init.rc for editing. The instructions on the site just aren't clear enough for people that are less familiar with this stuff.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
ya forsure i'll be glad to help you out if i can get this to go!

As an update, I have succefully modified the boot.img file. I am just in the midst of trying to flash it on my phone, I seem to have forgotten how to do it, (newb comment i know lol) i am lacking in sleep :p

edit***

gahhh i just realized that it wants me to use fastboot for this process but i cant do that with this lol...i have now hit another brick wall :|
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
No way you were so close to a solution! That's okay, there has to be an answer somewhere. If it worked in gingerbread, there has to be a workaround for ICS with this phone. At least I'm a bit relieved that I'm not the only one facing this issue.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
just found another thing that some people said worked, but i tried it and my phone just messes up lol

heres the link, go to the comment section:

theandroidsoul.com/easy-guide-install-clockworkmod-cwm-recovery-sprint-galaxy-s3/
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
If it worked in Gingerbread then flash the original factory image and then flash cwm.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
but dont you need CWM in order to flash the gingerbread rom? lol
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
yeah that's what I was thinking. I wish all I had to do was revert back to stock gingerbread. We can't without CWM. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out, but if it messed up for you I'm afraid it'll do the same for me haha. This brick wall seems to get higher. It's Bell or Samsung's fault for making ICS so bad on our phone in the first place. Everything on the update looks and feels like gingerbread. I wanted cyanomod 10!
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
Haha I know what you mean man, when I tried it, the download mode screwed up and said there was an issue. So no permanent damage. But that link I just posted was what I tried, seemed to work for some. The only thing I can find is somehow using fastboot to flash to a different rom, but I dunno how lol, or if we can for our phone.
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
Actually I think I tried this earlier today and almost thought I bricked my phone. Had to reflash the stock recovery to make the phone work again.

Finally figured it out! Your link worked. Booted up in clockwork mod and currently flashing cyanogen mod 10.

1( Flash clockwork mod recovery 6.0.1.1 to phone with Odin like you tried before

2) Important thing is when the flashing ends and it says "PASS" in green on Odin, don't give the phone a chance to restart to system. Before the Samsung logo appears, press volume buttons down and power button to boot into recovery. Just like the person on the comment section said: If the phone reboots, it automatically restores stock recovery, so you need to stop it before it restarts after you flash .tar file. I used the non-touch clockwork recovery.
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
Really? That's fantastic! But I tried that and all I got was an error lol, at what point did you remove the usb cable from your phone?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Hi, first post... new andriod user...

Just got a used S2 HD LTE phone and looks like its got CWM 5.5.0b already. However, when I start up odin and go into download mode, the phone is not detected by odin.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] mcescolini:
Hi there! Welcome :)

You need to make sure the Samsung mtp drivers are installed properly and it should be detected
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
To flash the stock rom (FACTORY IMAGE) - rooted or not - you use Odin. Read the first page..

Cwm is for zip files, not tar.md5.
[Galaxy S II General] anth787:
I'm pretty sure I kept usb connected until I was finished installing everything. Once cyanogenmod 10 loaded I disconnected usb. Keep me posted I'm sure you'll get it working if I did. Which clockwork recovery file did you use? What error do you get?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
where would i find those? Thanks for the reply

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 AM ----------

Another question.... how long should the sgs2root_4.0.4_no_bell_apps update take? Mine's been sitting at "installing update" for about 20 mins.... :(

edit: now over an hour and still no further... please help

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Install Samsung Kies to get the necessary drivers in Windows
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Thanks I just installed it.

However, havent connected the phone yet.

Looks like it might have finished installing the rom but now its stuck at a boot screen which just shows the model number SGH-I757M and SAMSUNG.

Not moving past that.

Should I pull the battery and reset?
[Galaxy S II General] robertparker:
Flashing the 2.3.6 stock ROM doesn't work

I tried flashing the 2.3.6 stock ROM (stock_gb_I757MUGLCA_I757MOYCLCA_I757MUGLCA_HOME.tar.md5) but it said the md5 check failed (I tried downloading the file twice but that didn't fix it). Could it be because I tried flashing CWM before, but it wouldn't work?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Try downloading from sammobile.com. I may need to re-upload mine.
[Galaxy S II General] robertparker:
Yes it worked perfectly. Thank you so much.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Got things working now... so far... hopefully ;)

Re-flashed phone with CWM 6.0.1.1 and applied the ics_no_bell_apps image and things are looking good.

Could have been an issue with cwm 5 not working well with the ics rom?

Anyway, thanks for all the help - this forum is fantastic! :)

EDIT: seems the phone can only find Bell network, not TELUS. Before the flashing, it was able to search and register on TELUS.

Its already unlocked because I was using it on TELUS before. Any suggestions please?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] bbsv088:
unroot 4.0.4 room installed

Hi all:

Just tried again flashing the CWM and confirmed it works.

As indicated by earlier finding, I pull out the cord when Odin reported "pass" and "reset", then while the screen black out before reboot, I just hold the volume up and down together and release them when the samsung logo shows up. It boots into CWM recovery beautifully.

After that, I get to install the rooted 4.0.4 image.

Had enough with Bell's stock 4.0.4. Even one day is too much.
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyjb:
You should do cm9 is so much nicer. It actually looks like a new os
[Galaxy S II General] bbsv088:
I had cm9 running before re-stock and upgrade to the bell 4.0.4.

Cm9 is a lot faster and smooth, but some of the interface and app are too funky for me (still miss the stock camera app).

Anyway, will try cm10 soon.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
I've uploaded a new set of ClockworkMod Superuser files for the 4.0.4 factory image from Bell.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
... I've also uploaded the Gingerbread stock modem which can be flashed from CWM.
[Galaxy S II General] jayallen:
It seems that root no longer works. CWM says root possibly lost when rebooting and asks if I want to fix. Restarts and no root. I'm running Bells version of ICS that I updated to yesterday.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Look up.
[Galaxy S II General] jayallen:
Just tried the new file. Same result. SU error failed at downloading manifest.
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Failed where?? In the ROM or in CWM?
[Galaxy S II General] jayallen:
In CWM. When I go to reboot after running the zip. A warning says root may be lost. I reboot, and SU tells me I'm not rooted. Sorry for the hassle man, I'll probably just end up flashing the rooted rom. Thanks for doing all this for us. Cheers.
