[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xdewtr:
My XPS is ROOTED w/o unlocking bootloader.

I follow the following instruction to install CWM on my XPS.

However, I got stuck when typing the cmd comment.

It kept telling me the device is not rooted, but Im certain on the fact that

my XPS is rooted since I have superuser, RE, Titanium backup.

PS: I am using Generic CH (1257-3740) XPERIA S LT26i ROM (6.1.A.0.452)

How to Install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on Xperia S

Download the Doomlord CWM Recovery image (download link here) and the Wi Fi Module for Doom Kernel (download link here) and place the same to the computer.

Go and rename the “S-DooMKernel-v01_kernel.elf” file into “kernel.elf”.

Copy the file renamed on the same folder with ADB / fastboot.

Take your phone and its USB cord and by using both connect it with the computer.

Copy-paste the “S-DooMKernel-v01-Modules.zip” file from the PC to the Xperia S SD card.

Disconnect the smartphone from the computer.

Reboot it by entering in fastboot; press the Volume Up button while connecting the phone with the PC.

On the computer open command prompt (Start -> run -> cmd) and enter the command: fastboot flash boot kernel.elf. If this isn’t working try with: fastboot -i 0x0fce flash boot kernel.elf.

The handset should reboot.

When you see the light turn blue hold the Voluem Up button. The Xperia S will enter in recovery mode.

In the recovery menu select “install zip from sd card” and pick the file copied there on step 3.

The installation procedure should begin. Don’t press anything as the process might take up to 10 minutes to complete.

In the end, from the recovery mode menu select “reboot system now” and you are done.

There you have it; that was the easiest and fastest way in which you can learn how to install Doomlord’s ClockworkMod Recovery on your Xperia S smartphone. Do tell us if there were problems on your way, of if you had issues in understanding one of my directions. Now you can go and update your Xperia S with the lasts ROMs available. Take a look and see if the Cyanogen Mod 9 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM is what you are looking for.

Waiting for someone else to confirm this method. You should post it on General or maybe Dev section, to attract more attention.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xdewtr:
or is there any other method to get CWM???

thx for replying tho

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] KevTN:
As I sit here and wait for my phone to get here...9 more days...how long is the charging time from a battery with 20% charge? Also does the port have the same connection as a droid X? I am really not looking forward to having to change my chargers...lol
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ktrotter11:
I use a 2 amp charger, gets the job done really quick
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Matrix_19:
From 20%?

About 2 hours
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] manchild83:
The connection is micro usb which is the same as the droid x. You should be able to keep your droid X charger and use it as a spare or a work charger.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] stevesprivateaccount:
I use juice plotter still on my phones. at about 20% left on the battery, it always gives about 2.5 - 3.0 as the expected time to 100% charge when using the OEM charger that shipped with the phone.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] simollie:
I have a 2A charger and am curious how quick is "really quick"? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] afbond03:
Hrm, might need to pic up a 2a charger.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
What 2a charger are you guys talking about? My oem charger takes forever and a day to charge. And through the computer's usb port, forget it!!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] simollie:
A charger that can provide 2 Amp current. A lot of the wall chargers are spec'ed at 1 Amp. The USB port on a PC gives only 0.5 A, or even 0.1 Amp depends on the port or if the PC is powered or on battery. I also saw some microUSB cable is spec'ed as can handle 2A. Note sure how much difference it makes.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BonesHopkins:
Right but I'm trying to find out which charger in particular you're talking about. I'd love to buy one. Are there any that come with an extra battery as part of a combo pack or something like that?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] simollie:
The one I have came with the HP Touchpad. So no mine doesn't come with any extra battery. Apparently you can get it here but I didn't personally get it from Amazon:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
Here is my issue. I am currently in the US. I might teach ESL overseas in Korea in January. I am not sure which phone to get. Will the USA one work over in Korea? Will thew international one work in the US?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pachi72:
It could work but Sprint has the radios locked.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
Would developers be able to get them unlocked?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apisfires:
Buy international set
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johku12:
They propably can but the intl one supports more radio frequensies and is assembled to work worldwide so I'd buy it in any case rather than us version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungAceAtlanta:
The international one works in the US flawless... just not on all carriers... it works the best on AT&T if you want to use it in the US and get 4G(HSPA+)

You can use it on T-Mobile but you will have to settle for EDGE(2G)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sango2:
It would work on most carriers which uses the international frequencies.

Not just AT&T for US. Works with Rogers, Fido, Telus, and Bell Mobility in Canada for instance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IFireflyl:
Just a side note, HSPA+ is not 4G. It's still 3G. LTE/WiMax is 4G.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
so which companies will it work with 4g/lte? Will it not work with Sprint? Anyone know any deals for the international version?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
Sprint (and Verizon) is on an old CDMA network while the majority of the world is on GSM, you know, operating with a SIM card. If you're set on travelling, it's better to get any of the GSM-variant, that way, you can just pop in any sim card from any major carriers all over the world.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegameksk:
I currently have a photon which has a sim card slot in it. So the Galaxy s international wont work on Sprint? Damn I want to keep my SERO plan lol. So where can I get an international verison from? Also would I have to pay full price for it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
Does the photon has an active sim card in it? I'm assuming no. I've never used a dual-mode phone before (nor am I familiar with how they operate on different networks), so I dont know the ins-and-outs on how to get it activate for a GSM carrier.

Damn, now i have a headache just trying to figure out how it works to have an intl GSM phone on a network that is predominantly CDMA whom happens to offer a dual-mode phone on their network :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bootny:
Call sprint problem solved
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrybravo:
In 2010 the International Telecommunications Union redefined 4G to include HSPA+.

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374564,00.asp
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onslaught86:
The SIM in the Photon is just for roaming. Sprint does not use SIM cards - even their LTE phones have them embedded rather than user-accessible.

As the Sprint Galaxy S III is not a 'global' phone - i.e. does not have both GSM/UMTS and CDMA radios - do not purchase it if you have any intention of using it outside the US. CDMA is no longer a global technology.

Confuses me a little that people spend so much on devices without checking what networks they support. Ho-hum.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
If we had a full source code, with WLAN drivers and all, would it be possible to create fully custom kernels and have functioning AOSP and other roms? The reason im asking is because ive never fully understood what is holding back development f custom roms/kernels. Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Yes sir, then even devs that don't have the device can build for it, like the aokp team, etc.
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Thanks for clarifiying to tell you more, i was almost at the edge of selling my amaze for a nexus, but i dont want to lose faith in htc that they will make it happen for us :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Unless you don't mind simple basic android, I think you should give it a bit more too, unlike the amaze, it's much harder for the nexus to get the pretty stuff other than AOSP android, amaze on the other hand would have the prettied sense version and once source is here, it's also gonna have alllll the aosp, aokp and what's not version to go along with it. So if you feel it's worth waiting a bit more to see if HTC comes through, I support you. :highfive:
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Yeah :over the internet five: lololol thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:

I think the only way would be with a modified kernel. There is only one around here I think, freezas kernel, but I'm not sure if it has that mod. It was a problem with the nexus s too. Back light dimmer(BLD) was what the mod was called. Hopefully once the kernel source is released a dev will be able to get us that mod.

i had 5.8.2.7 and i flashed to 5.8.4.0 and now when i try to boot into recovery it just sits at the HTC screen for a while and then reboots
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Use twrp instead. Clockwork isn't officially supported on our phone. Twrp is.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gmac1990:
That or just fast boot into recovery. Is that way not working either?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rushwal:
The only way I've had any success getting into Recovery with CWM is to go into Rom Manager and boot into recovery from there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] EoinCuinn:
I had exactly the same problem, the only thing that ended up working for me was installing Goomanager and doing it from there.

Menu > Install OpenRecoveryScript. This will install TWRP, and worked a treat for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I've noticed that when you first do the fastboot flash recovery that when you adb reboot into recovery, or even manually boot into recovery, it won't boot into it the first time. It will after you try again though. This has happened on 3 One X's so I know it's not a single phone specific thing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
Use TWRP, but don't be lazy and do it from the app, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as reliable as my trusty adb commands. If you need help on what commands, PM me. Only three I used, without a hitch. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JellyBeaner:
I used goomanager to install TWRP and it worked just fine.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Flashing a recovery from fastboot is not being lazy. There's actually more work involved than installing from an app. I think you have it the other way around.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
Uhmmm, wanna reread what I said, I clearly said NOT to do it from the app. Here's the first sentence in case you somehow missed it.

"Use TWRP, but DON'T be lazy and do it from the APP, it didn't work for me, and just doesn't feel as RELIABLE as my trusty ADB COMMANDS."

Any more questions/inquiries? :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zoltrix:
Are both recoveries able to install the same roms? or are some roms only able to be installed through CWM or TWRP?

i'm assuming they both install the same way, so all roms should work regardless. It's just that rom threads say "install using clockwork", but i guess that's just a common phrase now..

that used to happen on my HTC Desire too...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
yeah install using clockwork is common language for use recovery, since cwm is the more well known one.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] theking_13:
Just as an opinion, TWRP looks better to me, because its not all just clicks and such, TWRP you slide to confirm, you can flash multiple .zips one after the other (Useful for AOSP roms where you need GAPPS, and if you change the kernel like I do) etc.

Also, as stated before, its an official recovery on our devices, so we get full support should bugs arise. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Sorry. I took it as you saying not to be lazy and to do it from the app instead. Like, Don't be lazy. Do it from the app. See what I'm saying?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pumpiron579:
Did you turn off "Fast Boot" in "Power settings" before you tried to reboot into recovery?:rolleyes:

That Recovery is for the International HOX (tegra 3) not for out AT&T HOX (S4).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] OneDeagz:
Does anyone have a link to up to date instructions on flashing twrp to my phone. i have the ATT version not the international

I see a bunch of instructions that include going in to some folders that dont exist on my phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
I've noticed my wifi reception dropping greatly as well as my cellular signal strength. I reflashed different modems and even went back to my regular one. Many times it wouldn't even regain the cellular signal at all. When I choose to search for network, it gives me an error.

As for wifi, I normally get almost full signal in all rooms of my house. Now I find I barely get reception and it completely drops at times.

I'm on Flapjaxxx's Cm9 rom if that means anything.

SOLVED: wifi antenna making poor contact internally. Adjusted spring contacts inside. All is well.

Flash a new modem that will boost signal in the carbon installer app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
Sorry, what's carbon installer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
so no one else has this issue?

I walk 5 feet from my router and the signal drops to 1 bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] saturnspike:
I have this same issues ever since moving to CM9. My 5GHz N network is unusable. I'm five feet from the router with direct line of site and it's seeing about 2 bars (fair) and -70db. Moving 10 feet away moves it down to -80 or -90 and 19Mbps before it ultimately disconnects. I've tried reverting back to modems that I was successfully using on stock ICS, including UCLC5, UCLF6, and UCLE2, but none of them have made a bit of difference. Is there some other component aside from the modem that governs wifi?

My laptop and HTPC which uses a USB WIFI adapter and is about 20 feet away from the router have no issues getting 5 bars, and inSSIDr shows that I'm the only 5GHz AP in the area.

Anyone have any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Antenna issue? Perhaps an unlucky drop caused the antenna to become unseated?

It is possible to open the phone and push in the antenna.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Agreed.....

We've seen at least two other users this week with a loose antenna seat, that required a repair to correct the lost signal issue..

this may not be the problem, but certainly something to consider....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] saturnspike:
I neglected to mention that my 2.4GHz signal works great, 4 or 5 bars throughout the apartment. I'll take a look at the antenna. I don't supposed there's a less warranty-voiding way of doing it than pulling up the sticker? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
I'm seeing the exact same thing. as soon as I rooted and flashed a custom rom my 5GHz has dropped to virtually nothing. my cell strength and 2.4GHz are weaker than they once were but 2.4GHz and cell is still very usable. my 2.4GHz drops to 19mbps constantly. I've bounced my phone back to completely stock ICS and that resolved the issue, though stock rom just isn't fast enough for me anymore so I'm back on Paranoid Android CM10 Aug27 release 1.992

A couple of other things, I use AT&T, my router is an ASUS RT-56U dual band wireless N, I live in an apartment complex where 2.4GHz is saturated, but 5GHz is clear and I live roughly 1 mile from the closest cell tower. I run my laptops in 5GHz and my streaming media in 2.4GHz. So for all intents and purposes my 5GHz should be much stronger.

Any thoughts on why the custom Rom is doing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] saturnspike:
If I have time today or tomorrow I'll do a backup and try out a stock ROM to see if the problem goes away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Yes...It sounds rom related at this point...

A stock rom test, "With" a stock modem would be a good test....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
Update. Rolled back to OEM ICS 4.0.4 and my wifi reception is MUCH stronger. Guess I'll be staying with ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] madman604:
It seems I was wrong. I took my phone apart and checked out where the WiFi antenna contacts were. One of the springs was flat and barely making contact. I pried it up slightly and things seem better. I will update again if I am full of fail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hammerfest:
Just a tidbit:

On every one of my devices, with CM9/10 loaded, my 5Ghz signal strength is weak...

Sitting on stock, and my signal is fine for 5Ghz WiFi...

I said it back when CM9 was starting to become regular, it still hasnt changed...

Something changed in CM when CM9 and now CM10 came to be that 5Ghz WiFi now sucks very much badly!

The ONLY time I get full strength with 5Ghz is when my phone is sitting on my router, I sit maybe 3-4ft away (no walls, level, in-sight range), and it drops a bar sometimes two...

This happens on all my devices with 5Ghz WiFi and CM9/10, my HD2 (for example) on CM7.2 has matching 5Ghz performance with 2.4Ghz, but on CM9 its the craps :<
