[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] arnabdc91:
Yup i did just the same last night. It solved my problem. There is a thing called cygnus terminal which can run splitfus2 (splitfus2 is actua;;y a linux based software so cygnus helps it run on windows). It splits the .tar.md5 into three parts which can be used to flash thru ODIN. Heres the link to the tutorial. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25130011. It contains a tutorial video too which shows exactly how to do it.

U can download stock roms from either samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com

Thanx:good:

PS: while downloading cygnus DONT download the 64-bit version coz it doesnt have support for md5. go for the 32-bit one.

Hello Arnab, Recently I am facing the same problem, My Phone is working fine but I am unable to flash anything with cwm recovery. I had installed hathyon ROM 1.1 and Compact kernel 1.3.

Is this due to Compact kernel 1.3.??

Which kernel are u using now? (I guess 1.25 should be fine.)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] Deadly:
ya, i believe its because 1.3.. try to flash older kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
I had a problem copying files from GN to PC. I though I could fix them formatting the sdcard.

So I've done a factory reset.

When it finished, at reboot the system (AOKP JB 3) was restored but the sd files were still there.

If I go to recovery to install some zip, it doesn find some folders and every file (I can see them mounting GN after boot).

CWR says "no flies found" when I try to open each folder.

What do you suggest?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDeleted:
Update: I tried updating to last CWM and .. same problem.

It looks like every folder is empty (but they aren't).

Didn't work for me on a newly rooted EVO 4G with CWM & everything else stock. It looked like it ran, gave a bunch of successful messages, but then just sat there for an hour with the "start backup" button greyed out until I closed it. Did you have to update or install anything new to make it work?

Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] norsedakotan:
My wife has decided that her new phone will be the S3 from Verizon. She's coming from a Droid X2, so this will be a huge upgrade for her.

I personally have a Galaxy Nexus running Bugless Beast. I have done some searching and so far only found SuperNexus. Are there any other "vanilla" Jelly Bean ROMs out there for the S3 like Bugless Beast?

I want to keep it simple and avoid too many modifications if possible. In the end I may just root it and leave it stock for her as I know there are a ton of features built into it that she may like.

Looking for opinions too. Stay stock and wait for Jelly Bean to be approved from Verizon or unlock and ROM right away?

Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
At this point, you should stay stock and wait for Verizon Jelly Bean. For your wife it is better to keep everything stock. With Jelly Bean, the phone is going to be super fast and trouble free vs custom rom (specially when new update arrived, you have to do extra work to get the new update).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
I would just wait. If shes coming from a DX2 it doesnt sound like she wants/needs all the mods. Stock is awesome if you want to make minor tweeks you can just root it. Jelly Bean will be over from Verizon early next year.

I put some custom ROMs on my fiances S3 and when I put a TW ROM on she asked what I did as she couldnt tell a difference. Tried a AOSP and she hated it so I ended up putting it back to stock and rooting it for apps like TiBu
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] norsedakotan:
Thanks for your suggestion. I may just leave her stock and root it to ensure we can back up data. She's lost data before on her X2 sadly when the flash card died and another time when her original Droid X died and had to be warrantied.

Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bby144:
I would put cleanrom on it for her. It has the stock feel but with a smoother experience.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Jolteon:
Hi there,

I've got an unlocked One X, running on a Telstra contract (in Australia). I bought the phone from Mobicity.com.au a few months back, and have always had problems with the OTA updates. In short, they don't work: it's still running Android 4.0.3. Every now and then I get the notification to tell me that a new update is available from HTC, but installing it simply causes the phone to reboot into "ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.1" with an error with something about an "unknown volume for path [INTERNALSDCARD:<complicated-update-name.zip>]" and that it "can't mount" said file; causing the installation to abort.

Now, to be honest, I don't really understand what ClockworkMod Recovery is or what it does. If this mod is there for whatever purpose, I did not install it. Does HTC install it by default? Is it something Mobicity installs? I'd expect the updates to just, you know, work.

I'm really quite a noob when it comes to this stuff. I've done some searching and people have suggested rerooting and installing a custom ROM... I'm sure this will get around the need for solving this problem, but I'd rather be able to stick with the default ROM if it is at all possible. Is there a way to manually install the updates using a PC? Or is a custom ROM really the best and most reliable option?

Help? :)

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Clockworkmod (CWM) is a custom recovery. Its not installed by HTC. Its usually installed by the user, but in this case it looks like Mobicity installed it. Not familiar with them, and I'm from the US, so I'm not sure if this is what they do normally.

What do you mean by "unlocked"? Was it sold SIM unlocked or bootloader unlocked? If you haven't modded the phone, it appears to be bootloader unlocked, and custom recovery installed by Mobicity. May be rooted as well. If sold as rooted, they would have had to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery to do that.

Long story short, stock recovery is needed for OTA. You would have to return to a more stock condition to be able to get OTAs (I believe relock the bootloader and RUU back to stock recovery). But that would be a step backwards IMO. What you have is better than stock. You have the bootloader unlocked already, so you can install custom ROMs and other mods. You can also install newer firmware versions which are pre-rooted, and can be flashed from custom recovery. All this can be found in the Development section, for which my Index is a good place to start looking: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

My advice would be start reading and learning what all this means, then decide what you want. My recommendation would be to change CWM to TWRP, which is just a different custom recovery. TWRP officially supports our phone, while CWM is just a port, and has known issues. Then install whatever updated pre-rooted firmware or custom ROMs you want from Development. But read up, and make the decision for yourself.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I also bought my phone from Mobicity. They state their phones are brand new. They source them from Asia, Hong Kong to be exact. There absolutely should not be a custom recovery installed on your device mate, it's been tinkered with, probably not a new handset unfortunately.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahshah:
You can try to sideload older version of flash and see if you face same issue.

And are you using Firefox Beta or just Firefox? Firefox beta seems to work better on android.

But my recommendation would be to use AOSP Browser, its the best browser for android imo better than firefox.

ya... ive tried about 5 earlier versions..all fail. can you go to youtube.com and play videos with firefox??

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahshah:
I tried using the desktop site the full screen worked fine. Only thing I noticed is the buttons like play, resume, full screen appeared blurred , not good. But full screen played fine, no crashes.

I have played videos on other web sites and they also play fine on full screen.

Why you are not using youtube app for watching videos?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patterone:
not "fullscreen" in firefox in the options you check "request desktop site" after you load www.youtube.com, then try to play a video
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahshah:
I understood what you said before and I did check request desktop site too works fine for me.

Thanks!! I gave up..... flashed CM10 Kang 4.1.2................ now everything works fine!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GM_Don:
Just as a question, did you use firefox beta or the normal firefox? On 4.1.1 I had to use firefox beta to make flash work fine, but on 4.1.2 firefox beta flash did only work in NOT Fullscreen mode and trying to use fullscreen made flash crash. Funny thing is, on 4.1.1 the same happened to the normal Firefox. But now on 4.1.2 I use the normal Firefox browser (nfot the beta) and the latest flash version from the archives and it works very goood, also in fullscreen mode no crashes. Hope I could help some people looking into this topic.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
That is awesome battery life! I have seen better battery life myself with CM10 M2, much better than the AOKP JB builds I have been running. I haven't tried changing kernels yet since performance/stability has been so good for me on M2. I'm happy to get 2 hours screen on time with my VZW variant w/ OEM ext battery, LTE, location on, sync on, auto-brightness, some bluetooth use; but on M2 I've been pushing just a little past 2hr. And I've only been on it a few days, it should get even better for me since I'm getting past those first few days after a flash.

Hopefully OEMs move towards larger capacity batteries in their devices like Motorola did with the Maxx.

Am I blind or did they vanish? I go to SETTINGS --> MORE --> MOBILE NETWORKS, and I have 4 options... Data Enabled, Data Roaming, Network Mode, and System Select.

Well that would explain it. Why am I thinking you had to add APN info for MMS on a Verizon device though? Perhaps I'm confusing myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blarsen1620:
Open Voice Dialer and say "open apn settings" and bam, your in. And us CDMA users do have and use these settings for adding MMS settings if necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] etmccreary:
Another VZW GNexer here. I absolutely cannot send MMS any more. Tried using voice to access the old apn settings menu, no luck. I can manually go into /system/etc/apns-conf.xml or /system/build.prop without issue and can access all apn-related text, but am not quite sure how to go about tackling the problem from there (wouldn't want to change the wrong setting).

I've done a bit of searching, and haven't quite found a solution that works for me on 4.2.1...

***Update***

Turns out, the issue was related to Handcent. No apn editing required. Go figure...

This is the newest version of Clockwork Recovery- 6.0.1.5 -non-touch

I claim no credit for any of this. I am only posting this because the latest version available on the official ClockworkMod page is still 6.0.1.0.

This recovery was compiled from source, along with a personal CM10 project I'm working on. Please note that this is included with the CyanogenMod source, so anyone building it will end up with the newest recovery image in their OUT folder.

So, for anyone still using Clockwork Recovery, (I do), here you are! :cowboy:

All credit to Koushik Dutta (Koush)--the creator of what I think is still a great recovery.

More info on his work can be found at http://www.ClockworkMod.com/rommanager
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcalderon576:
Here is the touch version of 6.0.1.5 http://d-h.st/1Kk. I built this last night using the recovery builder found here http://builder.clockworkmod.com/ with the 6.0.1.0 version as a base.

EDIT/ I FORGOT TO MENTION. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING WORKING OR NOT WORKING WITH THIS RECOVERY. I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BROKEN DEVICES. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. THANK YOU :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TransWarp:
Is 6.0.1.5 the version that has the option for tar (non-blob) backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcalderon576:
Yes it has that option
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myepicyear:
Yes, this version includes both tar and dup (data blob) backup formats. Tar formatting was re-added in 6.0.1.2.

So you can have either quick, large backups; or slower, slimmer backups with this version.

There's also an interesting adb sideload option as well. Not useful for most casual users, however, the more adventurous users will have a purpose for it from time to time.

You are very welcome sir! Thank you for visiting the very first thread that I've ever posted on XDA. Never even started a question thread before. I'm working pretty freaking hard, on personal projects, as well as school stuff, so you should be seeing a lot more from me in the not-too-distant future. I've been looking forward to contributing more for a long time, and I'm excited to give back something with some more substance. I never stop learning at xda. I owe a lot to this place. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ezeuba:
Thanks for this CWM. The touch version is nice to have, if your device supports it. I have one question though. Is this version still buggy? Any issues so far? Why hasn't it been posted on Koush's site yet? I would give it a whirl but I'm a bit wary; I wouldn't want to mess with my working 6.0.1.0 touch unless I'm 100% positive this has no issues.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] myepicyear:
You're welcome. I wholeheartedly appreciate you visiting my thread.

To answer your questions- no, this version is nothing to be afraid of, and definitely not buggy. In fact, the first couple releases of 6.0.x.x were extremely buggy for many people, and 6.0.1.2 was were things seemed to get evened out. If you are still on 6.0.1.0, I would personally suggest updating to at least 6.0.1.2, as it is at least as stable as 6.0.1.0, while adding in a new feature or two. Most issues at the start of v6 releases were about people's backups being extremely slow, and it turned out to mainly be a conflict between Google Play Music and the way the data blob backup folders were executed/cleaned during backup. Google Play Music has a unique way of storing it's music, and it seemed to be responsible for terrible backup times and rebooting during backup(on some devices--never happened to me).

I was using 6.0.1.2 until a few days ago, and everything was always awesome. This version has backups in data blob format going considerably faster for me. It also has an adb-sideload option incorporated ( newest TWRP includes it too). These are the biggest differences, and there is nothing experimental to be wary of. I definitely understand any hesitation, and I think that it's better to be responsible/careful than to be sorry later. As for the exact reason why Koush hasn't put it on the website yet, I couldn't tell you for sure. He's always done releases this way, and if I had to guess, I'd say he waits for more "milestone" type releases to put a new official version up; which does cut down on the questions, help-requests, and other frantic stuff that new releases bring. 6.0.1.0 isn't the most polished or full-featured, but nothing is really wrong, and he probably just doesn't wanna cause a hype.

Again though, this is 100% safe to update to, and will just polish the experience up a bit. It only gets better, regardless of how significantly.

Let me know if you have any more questions. I'd be happy to help :)

Though your question may be a bit noobish, it is an absolutely

essential

process to learn in the custom Android world, and for fear of looking stupid, many beginners skip asking and learning about this very amazing tool. So before I go any further, I'd like to compliment you on being confident enough to ask for help when you need it. It's an extremely important skill that many of us forget around here, as we all want to be seen as a "know-it-all" sometimes, severely inhibiting our abilities to advance. So yeah, just wanted to mention that, lol.

Now, the tool to do this is fastboot. Are you familiar with the concepts of adb and/or fastboot in any way?

Also, what computer operating system do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crossen0:
I appreciate the help. I had not flashed a recovery in a while as I've been using TWRP since I bought the phone. I used the Toolkit to temporarily boot into CWM to flash the GSIII Launcher and theme since it doesn't play well with TWRP. I appreciate the quick response and willingness to help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tommy0823:
Definitely try to learn fast boot man. The toolkits are cool, but a minor mistake can make using one a nightmare. If you learn fastboot, you will always be able to fix your device. Plus it is the proper and preferred method for flashing a recovery, radio, or bootloader. It is an invaluable tool for for flashing.
