Ok when i try to use 6.0.1.1 cwm i can't get it to go into cwm. It just goes into regular recovery, the one with the android with the spinning thing in his stomach.

For 5.0.4.5 i would pull out the usb as soon as it said "pass" in odin and then hold power and volume up plus down. Is there something special i should be doing to start up cwm 6.0.1.1?

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM ----------

Also i am seeing in some posts that people are recommending to use "pda" and not bootloader in Odin tp flash cwm. Does it make a difference? I have been using the bootloader option.
[Galaxy S II General] lmarranzino:
Are you using the ICS Root found in the files ??? If you did not root with the proper file this can also be an issue. You will be partially rooted for GB yet will reboot and receive System error in CWM. Just my 2-Cents worth.

Help with my SGH - I757M

Ok i discover that i can use ODIN, and that i need a ROM in TAR not zip.

Where can i get the manual to flash a ROM via ODIN, the files i get in the fist page...

Do I need the PIT file? to recover my phone...
[Galaxy S II General] Omia28000:
Thnx for the Recovery I was able to root it successfully. Now my question is is there way I can mod the Phone.apk to disable the increasing ringtone or through some shortcuts from the keypad. Or are any roms already with the mod for this phone?
[Galaxy S II General] LostinCanada:
Please help - stuck with root basics!

Hi there,

I previously had the S2 (Bell) and had no issues rooting/installing custom ROM etc. When I got the i1757M several months ago, there wasn't much out there for root/custom ROM so I waited. Now I'm catching up on all the latest, and while I do that I thought I would start with CWM via Odin on Page 1... mission successful. Then I went to root, and copied the .zip file onto my sd card, entered CWM and flashed the .zip

Phone is now very slow, can't get Titanium backup to run, Root checker tells me my phone is slow and freezes on this message and I can't open the Superuser app at all.

I read some comments from other users regarding where the .zip file should be specifically located before flashing, but no conclusive instructions. As well, I ran into the same problem other users had in that once I received the successful message and hi "go back" to find the reboot option, I get a message suggesting root may be lost and suggesting I fix.

a) how can I return back to square 1 (normal phone)

b) what are the missing instructions as to where in the file system should I locate the .zip file,is that message regarding the root possibly being lost normal and if so should I opt to fix or not?

Help greatly appreciated! I'd like to move past this seemingly simple stage so I can decide what to do next.

Thanks!

When installing CWM i get a pass and everythings good but that bad news is that it keeps booting in andriod recovery when i hold the volume buttons + power key. Is there any fix to this problem? Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] B.Moreira:
If you want to return to square one (complete wipe/factory reset) download this zip file http://d-h.st/SWO , unzip it and save the tar file somewhere, put your phone in download mode, open odin, put the tar file in the PDA slot and flash it to your phone. Warning: This will remove all user data and anything you previously had on your phone, so do it if you really need to.

If you chose to do that then I would suggest just downloading a CM10 or CM9 rom for this phone and flash that onto it (obviously after you flash CWM back onto the phone).
[Galaxy S II General] LostinCanada:
Thanks! I downloaded the file for future use if things go awry... in the meantime, I discovered the problem. Something was preventing the Bell update from taking ICS so I had GB when I tried to root. Oops. I was able to manually overwrite all my problems with the update from Bell and then tried the root again. One thing that might help resolve confusion is to amend the original instructions for root only (this thread page 1) to let users know to answer "yes" to the second question after successfully flashing the .zip file.

All is good, I have ICS, am rooted, I have superuser, and titanium backup has successfully frozen a bunch of bloatware. Now I can continue reading and figure out which ROM to try. Mainly I wanted to be able to root/freeze bloatware in the interim while I wait for stable JB ROM.

Thanks for the helpful response, and the link to the recovery file.
[Galaxy S II General] AllyKat:
I am looking at wanting to move this phone over to Fido or Rogers. Would that not require a different modem to be flashed for the phone and if so is there one for the custom ICS CM9 Rom?
[Galaxy S II General] B.Moreira:
You'll have to unlock the phone first obviously, but for the modem you don't have to a different one. You can just flash the official ICS modem in dsixda's dev-host files and it should be fine.
[Galaxy S II General] CharlieMPK:
I bought this phone locked to Bell. Brought it to a shop in my city and they gave me an unlock code. My phone now works flawlessly with Rogers, Fido, and Telus.

It may work with others bit I haven't tried.

No new modem firmware is required.

Can someone tell me how i would unroot my phone. Thanks

Flash a stock Rom in Odin.

Thats what pisses me off so much tho..wtf do they know that we dont ?! how the heck are they getting the code ? its not that im too cheap to pay for the unlock code, i just wouldnt be satisfied with NOT knowing how they obtained it. there must be a way to calculate the code based on just the IMEI .. i have programs to do this for blackberry (but we all know blackberry is gay) can i say gay ? Anyway there MUST be a method using an algorithm otherwise how would all these 3rd party companies be able to get the codes ? GRRRR :mad:

Can't Get CWM to flash

Hey guys,

First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone in the developer community for all the hard work they put into these custom mods so we can enjoy unrestricted access to our phones ;)

That being said, I have tried flashing CWM for my Bell Galaxy S2 HD LTE SGH-I757M. Everything goes as it should. I load up odin, put the cwm tarball into the bootloader and press start after my phone is in download mode.

Odin goes through it's processes and reboots the phone as it's supposed to. when I try to boot into cwm, I only get the stock recovery. It seems that cwm didn't flash at all even though odin says it did.

I have tried this multiple times with both versions of cwm provided for the I757M (not the touch version).

Any ideas why cwm won't flash onto my phone?

*** UPDATE ***

I've read a whole bunch of forum posts recently, and have come across a very simple fix to this problem.

You must already be rooted to make the following changes:

1) Open Root Explorer or similar file manager app with root permissions and system mounted as r/w then, rename and append .bak to each of the files listed below:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

2) Now power off your phone and boot into download mode (vol up + vol down + power)

3) Open odin and place your cwm tar file into the bootloader section.

4) Do not change any other settings and press start.

5) Odin will work it's magic and flash cwm onto your phone and display a "PASS" message.

6) Now, because you renamed both of the above mentioned files, the system cannot re-install the stock recovery on you ;)

I have not tried removing the .bak extension and rebooting to see if that will again replace cwm, but I would assume that it would be that simple ;) If anyone tries this and has any success, please let us know.

Hope this helps someone else :)

How to root the phone?

I have the same exact problem. I am unable to install CWM, can you let me know who to get the root access. I tried to flash the root files from dsixda but it did not help.Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
The most important thing to do is get cwm flashed with odin.

When using Odin, after it displays a green pass message, immediately remove the usb cord and use your 3 button combo to get into cwm before the phone has a chance to reboot.

If you do not do this quickly, the phone will finish rebooting and cwm is replaced by the 3e recovery, so make sure you get the phone into recovery as soon as Odin displays that pass message.

Once I did that, I was able to flash the custom rom with root. I then had to rename the two files I mentioned above and reflash cwm.

Now I'm rooted with the cm10 jelly bean Rom and am loving it. I did have to flash the stock bell modem, but that was easy enough to find. I can't find the link right now, but I'll post it later off you can't find it.
[Galaxy S II General] ch_chs:
Solved CWM issue.

You are my savior. I tried to 3 times to get into CWM after flashing from Odin but failed. Even tried unchecking Auto Reboot which did not work. Finally was able to flash CWM. Thanks for your advice, this should be posted in the 1st page with instructions.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
My pleasure ;)
[Galaxy S II General] dsixda:
Point noted, I've update post #1. I never had this issue because I just flashed a custom ROM after flashing CWM. If I still had this phone I would have made a custom ZIP that would fix this issue immediately upon flashing CWM. Maybe someone can do that... I believe it just involves removing one or two files in the stock ROM that was flashed on the device.

Please note, I don't follow this thread much anymore but will drop by once in a while (I no longer own this device).
[Galaxy S II General] princenara:

install-recovery.sh mode

I have a problem after recovering something by CWM.

I'm using /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to run cryptsetup and mount some LUKS volume requiring root permission right after the boot.

I used "chmod 755 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh" once, but after recovering or installing something by CWM, permission mode of my install-recovery.sh is changed to "644". Execution bit is cleaned up after CWM recovery process.

Is there any workaround to preserve execution bit of install-recovery.sh after recovery process by CMW?

I could Root and do chmod 755 again, but I don't want to do it.

I'm not sure if this is unique to SGH-i757M version of CWM.

Thank you,

Pokizo

And make sure you read the warning that comes with the touch version of cwm as you can boot loop your phone if you reboot your phone into recovery. You can only use the 3 button method of accessing cwm with the touch version.

Help fixing phone

Hello, I have been trying to fix this problem for a few days, but no dice. I have a Galaxy SGH-i757m and the micro usb port has failed on me and the data syncing no longer works. The charging works fine though. I have tried plugging it into multiple computers and different usb ports with multiple usb cables. Nothing works. I am really looking to create a original backup from stock so I have one around on the computer. Is there anyway to flash the ".tar.md5" file without using Odin as no usb connection can be made? I have tried using Kies to download drivers and connect but it doesn't work. All I want to do from this point is to restore the phone to stock firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You could try mobile Odin from the market. Not sure exactly how it works, but it might be worth looking into ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Speshel:
Tried it, but doesn't work with the SGH-i757m
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm not sure what else to suggest... I think the only way you can flash a tar.md5 is with odin :( Maybe you could do the dump with mobile odin and send that to the developer of mobile odin to see if he can add support for our device.

If you could somehow figure out how to extract and repackage the tar.md5 into an update.zip, you may be able to flash that directly from CWM, but I unfortunately don't know how to do this.
[Galaxy S II General] Speshel:
Still Nothing...

I have tried changing roms multiple times and even bought a brand new cable, reformatted my computer and still nothing. Does anyone have a solution?

EDIT: I found this link, would any of these be what I'm looking for?

http://d-h.st/users/dsi/?fld_id=2582#files
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
These are the stock Roms which is what you're looking for, but these if you download the zip file silk have a tar.md5 file inside which you flash from Odin. You would need a way to convert these files into a flashable zip. Try looking at the following link for a tutorial on how to do that... it's all the way at the bottom of the page ;)

NEW Flashable Zip for Bell Stock ICS 4.0.4

Hey there, so I have created the flashable zip for you to return to stock ICS 4.0.4 (non-rooted). This is flashable from CWM, but will not remove CWM. In order to replace the bootloader, you MUST have USB as you can't replace CWM while your using it... i don't think... Maybe, with the install_recovery.sh, but I haven't had a chance to look at it to see where it is installing 3e recovery from... It might be as simple as including this script in the flashable zip with the respective files to re-install stock 3e recovery which would install the 3e recovery on reboot... I will check later tonight :)

I have tested this zip on my own phone, and it worked without a hitch, but as always, you will assume full responsibility for what happens after you download the file and use it to flash your phone.

I'm just uploading the file right now, but it will take some time... Please check the link in about an hour or 2 :) The flashable zip is contained inside the zip you will download from dev host.

http://d-h.st/users/titanic_fanatic

EDIT:

The file has finished uploading. Just unzip the download to get the flashable zip from inside, then download to a spot on your sd card. Then reboot into cwm and flash away ;)

How this helps :)
[Galaxy S II General] Speshel:
Thanks!!

Thank you so much! I will definitely try this out. I checked this thread a while back and never saw anything, so I just forgot about it. Now that this is here I will definitely try it out and see if it works. If it does, you are legendary. Now just about that pesky CWM. I know you have helped a lot lately with my problem, but have you, or anyone else figured something out to restore to stock recovery?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
No problem. In regards to the stock recovery, I believe that it should be possible to flash the stock recovery right from cwm. I'll have to try it later on to see if it will work
[Galaxy S II General] Speshel:
Okay, sounds good.

Okay, that's perfect. Should have made a nandroid backup before I did all this, haha.

EDIT: Tried out the zippable file, and it works perfectly! Thank you!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Ok, so I have made the flashable stock recovery, just haven't tested it yet. I don't think it will be a problem as this zip was originally created by Strange Peer to replace the current CWM with his new one, which shows that you can flash a new recovery while using the current one ;)

I simply replaced his recovery.img that resides in the zip file with the one from Samsung :) I will test later tonight and let you know since I can still re-flash CWM if it screws up, but I'm 99% certain that there will be no issue.

Quick question before you complete this whole process since you can't go back without the USB, When you boot into download mode (Vol Down + Power), is your custom binary counter at 0? If not, I would suggest re-flashing a rooted rom so that you can use Triangle Away to reset this counter (I have used this on my I757M and it works perfectly). This will make it almost impossible to detect that you have previously rooted your phone if your sending it in for warranty work.
[Galaxy S II General] Speshel:
Thank you for reminding me, it's actually not 0, so I will go check on that. I'll do that later tonight, hopefully. I just wish this stupid USB would work. It bugs me.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Hey, I haven't forgotten about you, just been very busy... I finally had some time to make the flashable zip to replace your recovery :) it's just uploading right now. Please check back here in about 30 mins and I should have the link posted :)

EDIT:

Ok, uploading is complete... You can download the flashable zip from here:

http://d-h.st/eVy

You do not need to unzip this one, just download it to your sdcard and re-boot into CWM recovery and flash it. Once you reboot your phone, you will now be on the stock Gingerbread 3e Recovery.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your phone ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Speshel:
You are amazing.

Thank you, same here so no worries. I haven't tried it out yet, but I trust you enough to say Thanks already. You have been so helpful with helping me with this, and I have stored the zipped recovery and stock ROM on my external hard drive as I have always wanted them. I seriously can't thank you enough. :D Now I need to try and get my stinking USB to work again and all will be well. :mad:

How can you root the phone without a SD card? the only option i see in CWM is flash rom from external memory or cache :X and I'm not really looking forward to buy a SD card... i'm running on galaxy s2 HD LTE
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Your I757M has both an internal and external sdcard. You would place the Rom on your internal sdcard either by usb or by downloading it to your internal sdcard. Then flash it from cwm by briefing through "internal storage" ;)

Edit:

I'm sorry, I just read your post again and think I might have missed your point. Which version of cwm are you using? You should be using the latest and the touch version is not recommended.

Make sure you have the latest version and you should see this option for internal storage ;)

i am using the CWM 6.0.1.1 i757m from this guide provided :X but i do not see internal sd on the list
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Fair enough. Let's try a different can then ;) I'm currently using a touch version 6.0.1.9 (I know I told you it's not recommended). This version unlike the version in the OP of this thread will not cause your phone to go into a bootloop if you reboot into recovery. You can download it here:

http://d-h.st/TFw

This one was developed by the porter of paranoid android for the I757M. You could also try one of strange peers cwm builds. He is continuing development on cm10. His build can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2175777

From there, the options should be install zip from sdcard -> install zip from internal.

Exactly. You would use the same flashing instructions from the OP with this new download ;) it will simply overwrite your recovery partition with the new cwm.

Stuck in clockwork mod recovery 'forever' ?

Hi,

Maybe it happens a lot of time, but to me it is the first time.

I wanted to update recently the i757M Bell, to the latest firmware found by Kies, but it failed (complaining about something stupid like not enough space in SD card which was wrong). So I suspected CWM I`ve installed few months ago to be able to root my phone (without success anyway). So the first thing I did was to free some space in my SD card both internal and external and try again with Kies, of course it failed for a problem of space bla bla needs 100MB or more ... even if I have more than 4GB free.

The real problem came from rebooting and trying to do a 'restore' with CWM, strangely it failed to 'recover' my previous backup (I've probably erased it from the cleaning step before). And now it reboots every time to CWM, without letting me any chance to boot normally.

So what can I do ?

I've tried to flash the new version (I have a 5.x.x), with Odin, Odin detects the phone but when doing 'start' for updating CWM to version 6.x.x using the tar file in Bootloader section, it fails.

What are my options now ? :crying:
