All,
I hope this will be a quick fix.
I'm running an ICS ROM. Surface - and its beautiful!
I had a corrupt update though which semi-bricked the phone. I'm back up and running now with ICS but had to take the phone back to stock gingerbread via download mode and heimdall, re-root with cfroot and then update from CWM.
I can get download mode with Vol-/home at boot and can get into clockwork mod recovery by rebooting from CWM manager but I can't get there from cold with Vol+/home. I could get it with the cfroot kernel.
My guess is that I've flashed an SBL which had removed the feature - can anyone recommend an SBL I can flash seamlessly to give me the capability back without being to downgrade from ICS again? Does anyone have a better idea what the problem might be caused by?

Flash JVR or JVS.
Thanks for the reply.
Would it be safe to just flash the primary and secondary bootloaders from jvs over my existing ICS install or is that asking for trouble?

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.
i dont know what to do anymore. i have tried the ota over 10 times and it dl's then stops half way through the installation. i was on a ec05plus tar so i odined back to the ec05 with the same thing happening. . i have tried the manual update but when i flash that, it aborts it. what other options do i have. thanks
Use the el30 odin packages by toadlife I'm sre this is what your end result would have been right? If you need the modem there is a ei22 to el30 or an ec05 to ei22 as well hope this helps.
Odin package: http://xda.toadlife.net.nyud.net/ROMs/SPH-D700/EL30/SPH-D700_ripped_stock_EL30_ODIN.zip
Use this in odin and you'll be good to go

i still have a problem. i followed the directions perfectly. i odined acs. odined the new kernel. flashed su. went back to recovery. it was in blue letters like it should be and then tried to flash a rom and it seemed to start but then brought me back to recovery every time no matter what rom i flashed. and the only way i could even get back to use the phone was to odin acs recovery again. no matter how often i rebooted system it would bring me back to recovery until i odined. am i doing something wrong? if it helps when i was flashing it said cwm 5.0.2.7 but when i went in the first time to flash su. it showed cwm 5.0.0.0. dont know if that matters. thanks
Wow I can't believe ima about to say this don't use acs cwm. There's a sticky in android development for cwm5.0.2.7 that you can odin in I'm sure you just odined in the incorrect acs
ACS Recovery5 1.0.0.0.0 is what you were needing to flash

What rom were you flashing? If it was mtd its going to reboot your recovery and put you on mtd cwm5 which is cyan blue almost and will finish flashing...

i was flashing marcus revival. i did odin acs recovery 5.1..0.0.0. so when i flash i need to just leave it alone when it goes back into the blue lettering in recovery? how do i know when its done?
Okay odin in the cwm5 recovery ill link it make sure you got the .tar and once that's done boot into it. Wipe data cache and dalvik and flash marcusants rom it will say checking state of bml/mtd and it will reboot and put you back in and saying installing up date it will say complete and should reboot you automatically

ok sorry already have a problem. when i odined i knew i had to flash su first to be rooted but when i put it into recovery it came up in manual mode with no options but reboot apply update wipe date and wipe cache. did this happen because i had to odin acs also or odin a kernal again?
This is what is needed you odin in the recovery don't have auto reboot checked and 3 finger salute into cwm power button camera and volume down... then you'll be in cwm5 flash the el30 kernel from toadlife and then you can just flash su if you planon staying on stock if not then flash the rom you want to be on...

sounds like somebody didn't read the sticky in the dev section very well
start over. odin a stock ec05, run the root package, flash whichever modem you want (probably the latest, there's a flashable zip to go from ec05-el30), then flash the rom of your choice. easy as that.
okay it started to work as you guys sent this info but anyway heres what i have. model sph-700
firmware 2.3.5
baseband s:d700.0.55.ec05
kernel 2.6.35.7 shadow

yupo, looks like you're good to go!
edit: looks like u didn't update your modem, u may want to do that...
thanks thats one thing i never quite understood. do you just find one and odin it? what makes one person like one modem and not another? is it always just whatever the newest one is?
hey guys, my samsung is in a bootloop and recovery mode is not acceseble
im looking for a cm9 firmware thati can flash via odin3 to fix my phone
i think that is not possible .start ur fone in download mode .flash a stock rom .and then flash CM9 .
Just search for "fix recovery" package. I've seen it in many threads. It should help you
edit: here..I came across with this in some thread..
http://ics.samsung-updates.com/trouble/FixRecovery.tar.md5
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk 2
if you manage to get into recovery, try to flash cm9 again, it will probably fix your problem.
if you rather flash JVU to start over again, dont forget for the small installation that comes after the odin process to end before flashing any custom kernel.
I tried flashing to the latest version of stock rom and found it had the new Samsung policy updates in place preventing me from rooting and using superuser things properly, so I went to do a full restore back (using clockworkmod).
Now my phone takes about 3 minutes to pass the logo screen before booting up to the home screen and my wifi won't switch on either... Anyone have any ideas why this may be?
I'm currently downloading an older stock firmware to flash using odin and then using titanium to restore all my apps and settings.
Is there a way I can have the latest stock firmware without the new policy updates?
Hi, you need to reinstall the stock up to date version via Odin. It may take two attempts. Your boot loader is locked. Once you have done this, flash a recovery via odin then you can root and flash a recovery. It happened to me. Any questions let me know.

So I need to install the latest stock rom (even though it's got the new Samsung policy updates thing on?), to lock the boot loader, then root and flash CWM via Odin and then use CWM to restore a full backup?
I tried that and it doesn't work... and now when I flash the latest stock rom, the wifi doesn't even turn on... arggghhhhhhhhh!!!!
