Hey guys,
I don't know if I missing the BIG picture somewhere but I just can't seem to find a way to get CWM installed on a fresh JL2 install?
Iv'e googled, xda, android forums, I'm just not finding anything!
As of now:
Rooted phone with Super One Click
SU latest
Titanium Backup
ROM manager
I tried an Odin CMW.tar via PDA field and bricked my phone. Took me about 2 hours to get it back. I had Phone-!-PC icon, then I had /dev/sd/slt01 (... something along those lines), then I had infinte boot loops. What a mess!
I have also tried it from ROM manager, and tried older CMW offered in ROM Manager.
There has to be some simple thing I'm missing.
That is all I have done with the phone. Ill leave like this until someone can point me in the right direction. Just so we are clear phone is well now.
Thanks.
All I did to get Clockwork working in my JL2 was flash CF Root using odin and then flash clockwork via rom manager. All the instruction are in the cf root thread in the development section.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 is the url for CF-Root and I used the CF Root JPK v1.1 file. It'll root your phone too so if your not already rooted then you don't have to worry about super one click or anything.
Ok, I flashed CF JPK v1.1 and installed CWM via ROM Manager but it does not boot into CWM, it goes straight to <e2>. but if i select update.zip it will boot CWM but if I reboot, it goes straight back to <e2>.
After you flash cwm with rom manager you have to go in recovery
And select update.zip and it might take a few times but it should end up in cwd. Works everytime on mine, after it does it the first time I'm usually good.

The reason why you can't apply update.zip is because JL2 comes with recovery 3e i stead of 2e like eclair version and 3e verify for the signature of update.zip, so no unofficial customization this way. The easiest way is to flash a custom kernel. Speedmod by Hardcore will enable CWM recover by default and give you the option to root if not done prior to flashing the kernel. It's pretty easy to do with odin and takes only 5 sec as these kernel are 5-6 mb. Moreover it's really safe.

That would work too, cf-root is with odin too and only takes a few seconds but as usual the instructions are on the first page of the thread.

I would also recommend this method. Super easy and it works.
+1 that's how I got CWM from a stock JL2 (speedmod 13a).
And if you get errors, reflash JL2 with update bootloader checked. It worked for me... ymmv.

I just got a Fascinate as my work phone... I have a modded Vibrant as my personal phone.... Everything seems to be a little more complicated with this model compared to my Vibrant. I have 2.1 update 1 on it right now.....
I downloaded SuperClean 2.8 VooDoo edition..... So my upgrade path should be...
Root.....
Odin.... CWM-Recovery.....
My question is do I have to flash the radio/modem individually or will the Rom write it for me as it does on the Vibrant?
Then flash Rom in CWM... Boot... Wait for lagfix.... and Done....
Feel free to poke holes in my thought process here..... Thanks in advance....
You will need to flash the radio separately from the ROM/Kernel.
Unfoutnatly, cwm can't flash the radio yet. Its quite unfournate, and makes it inconvenient as well.

The order you should follow is root, flash cwm in Odin, make sure you have superclean on your sd, turn off phone and remove battery, flash eb01 modem in Odin, put battery back in and boot recovery, flash Rom first and kernel second, reboot and enjoy.

Thanks guys...
EDIT: Will I have to re-activate since the Modem changed?
Also make sure in Odin you flash using the PDA option.
Yeah... I'm not new to ODIN just the fascinate steps....
you have to flash that sperately. just make sure your kernal isnt still in your firmware folder.
hey all,
im fairly new to android and i've only had my phone for about a few weeks, but i do love to tinker and im fairly computer literate.
my goal is go install SyndicateROM Frozen 1.1.0(standard), for the speed and lightweight-ness(probably not a real word).
i've followed the instructions numerous times, but i think im definitely doing something wrong since its not working.
3-4 days ago i did install the "Froyo EC05 Prerooted/ClockWorkMod v2.5.1.0 (RFS Filesystem) Odexed" ROM from AndroidCentral, and it worked pretty well over the weekend.
after reading up about SyndicateROM frozen 1.1.0, it seemed like a natural progression for me. i've been struggling all morning with installing it. with modem firmwares, with clockwork(tho it did get installed)
i just flashed my phone back to 2.1 using Odin3+v1.61. i have the windows drivers installed properly. No SuperUser is installed. looks pretty plain jane 2.1 to me.
firmware: 2.1-update1
baseband : S700.0.5S.DI18
kernal: 2.6.29
build number: SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18
hardware version D700.0.5
how do i know what version my modem is?
in terms of following the instructions right now, which path would i follow?
looks like i need to follow "If you are not on EC05 or SyndicateROM Frozen 1.0.1/1.0.2:"
if thats the case, do i run CWM3 first? or do i flash the modem first?
also, when i go to flash my modem with "acs-ec05-modem.tar" in odin, it seems like the only field that will take a TAR file is the PDA field. is that correct?
the next step is to install/run clockwork, Wipe data for best results, and flash the ROM.
how do i go about flashing the rom in clockwork? is it the "apply update.zip" ?
to save you some time do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Odin this: Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6 (found in the link above)
Then odin the ec05 modem
davidrules7778 said:
You need to root with the clockwork 3.0.0.6 mod stickied in the development.
You modem is the baseband so urs is d118,
in order to upgrade it, either use odin or i believe there is a flashable zip around the development section as well.

ok so i run cwm3 first, make sure i have superuser, then go flash the modem with odin?

Sorry i changed my post just odin the above like you did for d118, and then odin the ec05 modem then flash syndicate.
And the modem goes in the phone section, it takes tar files
when you say flash syndicate, i have to boot into clockwork right? then goto "apply update", find the syndicate zip file and let it do its thing?
i did find a critical error tho, i looked on my sdcard, and my syndicaterom.zip(frozen 1.1.0) was only 1.5megs. hummm looks like my copy got jacked up.
After you odin and it re boots power off then go into cwm to let it do the ext4 conversion then it will boot then power off and flash modem then flash rom.

yes exactly boot into clockwork click choos zip from sd card and choose the syndicate zip and click yes to flash.
also yes you do not have a big enough file redownload and do all of the above.
Is anyone with this rom and twilight kernel experiencing low benchmarks? Around 1800-1900?

Benchmarks don't really mean anything unless you're comparing your phone to someone else's which I recognize that you are doing. As long as your phone is quick and smooth you're fine. Those numbers seem about right from what I've seen others post.
My universal process:
backup
format sd card
odin3 and flash stock of choice
root phone with clockwork mod of choice
install rom of choice
wipe wipe wipe
install kernal of choice
do a cartwheel
i have a tmobile vibrant that i upgraded to 2.2 before i even knew about custom roms, i have tried several times to install a custom rom but the clock work recovery does not work, busy box says that my device is rooted but it will not install. the recovery screen still says 3e recovery, it will not go into clockwork recovery mode it just keeps going back to stock recovery. please reply with any tips or tricks that i can try to get this to work.

Use odin to go back to stock and look here for super one click root dude
Hell I wouldnt even go back to stock just get the one click root for your phone and root again.you got a lot of stuff to read dude before you try this stuff learn everything dude
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
You can't flash .zip files with the 3e recovery. Try flashing a Voodoo kernel via odin or using odin to go back to stock so you can get clockwork mod recovery.
OP. I made a guide for going back to JFD and then flashing a ROM
CLICK HERE
Also, check the noob guide if you need more.
assuming you did everything right.....from regular recovery, re-install packages and reboot, reinstall packages once more and it will reboot to clockwork recovery, if that fails then follow this guide step by step:

odin to stock JFD then root the phone and then flash the rom you want
pretty simple steps to follow

And if I don't want a rom and only want Rom Manager on right now?
Its been awhile but I think if all you want to do is put cwm recovery on the phone you need to modify yo our recovery from a stock 2.2 to 2.1
Easiest way is to odin back to jfd, reboot into recovery, reinstall packages(im guessing that you already have the update.zip on your sd card from prrvious attempts to flash cwm recovery), this should place you in cwm now. If you download a stock kb5 rom and put it on your sd card go ahead and flash that.
Harder way is to modify your recovery following the thread thats in the dev section..might not have to wipe or change roms this way, not sure as I just did it the easy eay.

I have the ACS recovery files...
I have su.zip
I have the GB kernel or whatever.
I can't root the thing.
What am I missing? I tried Odining the ACS recovery and it does not give me the new recovery menu when I do the 3 fingers...
I personally would grab the CWM 5.027 Odinable recovery and follow qbking's video here:

Yes. It is very simple. Doing it the 2 step way couldn't be easier.
1. Stock el30, Odin the kernel that allows it to boot another recovery
2. Odin cwm.
3. I flashed directly to an mtd rom and couldnt be happier.
I have owned this epic since launch and can honestly say this is the best my phone has ever ran. All around clean gb1.1.2 w no CPU control, just letting the rom do its thing and setting all of my stuff up I have never had such good battery life. Stable on cm9 also but cm9 does use more juice than your standard gb roms. Mtd "basically" just provides you more room. Very crude explanation but that's the lamens terms

I thought no one did an odinable prerooted yet for us. Toadlife's was full stock, unrooted. Easiest thing to do is Odin EL30, Odin cwm 5.027 with auto reboot unchecked. Remove from computer, pop battery in and out, 3 finger into CWM and flash a prerooted EL30 ROM or MTD ROM of choice.

What he said. If your staying with stock rom. When you go into cwm. Flash. Superuser.zip. and then you should be fine. Before on EI22 there was a file that you had to delete. But I haven't been able to locate the file since.
