[Q] CWM Recovery on sph-l720 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I just rooted via the CF-auto root method. I'd like to try out some custom ROMS, but from what I gather I need CWM Recovery? I have the CWM ROM Manager installed, but it says my model is not supported when trying to download the CWM Recovery version. If this is not the right track for loading custom ROMS with this model can somebody point me in the right direction? Or perhaps give me a tutorial?

Reading the OP in any of the custom roms here will most likely suggest a recovery and set you on the right path.

You can download twrp manager from play store and try installing twrp recovery. If you have the sph-l720 sprint s4 your device name to choose in twrp manager is jfltespr

Oh. Ok. CWM has a recovery for that device name, I couldn't find that anywhere in my phones info. How did you find that is my device name?

I read it on a website that I can't find now. But in this link you can see jfltespr right in the title. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262999
Also, I currently use twrp and it's what I did so I know it works. Oh and in rom manager for CWM when you try to install recovery it even says Samsung galaxy s4 (sprint) jfltespr. If this helps hit thanks plz

[Q] ClockworkMod Recovery for Samsung Galaxy Y

I was wondering if we could install permanent ClockworkMod recovery on Samsung Galaxy Y. According to the method mentioned here one needs to install ROM Manager and select Flash CLockworkMod Recovery and choose the phone as Galaxy Mini. But Galaxy Mini does not appear in the options.
Another method is listed here where you need to download the file and flash via stock recovery. But it is not a permanent ClockworkMod Recovery. Does someone know how to get permanent ClockworkMod Recovery?
There isn't one atm I think. You'll have to wait for a dev to make one.

both methods DO NOT WORK.
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-tass.zip and
CWM_bla_bla.zip
is the same stuff. not working as advertised (meaning: permanently replacing stock recov, if that is what the edify comment wants to say). nobody in this forum even claimed to have been successful.
You have to install an older version of Rom Manager where you can select your phone. Not the latest version of it. But to boot into it, you have to boot through Rom Manager app using 'Boot Into Recovery' option.
What would be the advantage of doing so ?

You may even flash a custom rom like hyperion 8 which has cwm as its default recovery..

hi to all,
i think we, (s5360 users) can now have a permanent CWM recovery via ROM manager "VERSION 4.7.0.2" :laugh: mabe????
i had the attached apk file.( Maybe, this it is the oldest version of ROM manager) then after installing, must choose the phone as galaxy MINI as you try to install CWM recovery on it.
of course, you have to boot into recovery via ROM manager.
Hope it helps

That is because of the kernel... So instead of flashing the rom u can flash custom kernel. Besides H8 final doesn't have kernel in it....
Remeber one thing.... A permanent CWM comes with a custom kernel. Otherwise you will have to flash CWM.zip manually from the stock recovery.

Flashing custom ROM'S Without PC/Laptop

Hi Folks,
Just got my 32GB Nexus 7 and am in the process of rooting and of course i will be no doubt trying out custom ROM's i see Paranoid Android and Liquid Smooth both of which i have used (current PA) for the Galaxy S3 also have ROM's for the Nexus 7, anyway i will be selling my laptop and just using the Nexus from here on in, my question is, is it recommended to download Goo Manager to download and Install ROM's, etc, i usually use CWM but am aware that Goo Manager seems to be the more updated and popular choice thesedays and seen as im new to the Nexus i thought you folks could offer some assistance here.
Cheers
Don't need goo manager to flash roms it is just like ROM manger to a degree. I only use it to install the latest twrp recovery and to to check for ROM updates. Seem like u already know how to flash so I won't get into that. Use this site and are others to get ROMs for our n7 store them in a folder ( I have one title Roms) and flash as normal.

Download it from the thread and boot into recovery manually. I wouldn't use goo or ROM manager to flash anything. You did already unlock the boot loader and flash a custom recovery correct? This requires a PC.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Also use CWM to flash roms. I use goo to check if there are ROM updates.
I didn't flash custom recovery but yeah unblocked the bootloader and rooted, cool I'll install cwm then.
Cheers guys

You can only install a custom recovery after being rooted. And the only way to root is to flash a superuser package with you guessed it, a custom recovery. You can't just install ROM manager and flash a custom recovery. You have to manually flash one with fastboot on a PC.

Can't flash recovery through rom manager

jflteatt comes up now on rom manager for a cwm download, but I tried flashing it and every time it just brings me back to oudhs. I went back to twrp hoping that would do something and it does the same thing. It even says I'm running cwm 6.0.3.2 when I have twrp loaded. I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong, but I want my traditional cwm if possible.
I'm not saying that ROM Manager won't work, but given that nobody else on here has even mentioned using it successfully, I'm kind of wondering why you decided to go it alone rather than follow one of the excellent guides to flashing recovery on you $700 phone.

Because I'm daring and have black tie from best buy to get a free phone (not to sound like a piece of ****). I stopped at this point because I changed the url from the t mobile touch version on the rom manager portion of the cwm site and it downloaded the jflteatt version. I'm stopping until we hear something though because there must be a reason he hasn't listed the file yet. I'm fine with OUDHS anyway. It's great. I just love the interface of the original cwm touch. I don't even know where to flash it in adb anyway. What is the recovery partition to flash an img on this phone?

Download Odin flashable file from website, then use Odin, Google will get you a guide on how to do it, then you will have any recovery you desire, rom manager and goo are okay, but Odin is boss.

Assuming You're Rooted, see below, If you're NOT yet Rooted, watch this video first http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cI9r5dEcNo4 follow the steps then see below.
If you wan't OUDHS, follow steps 1-5
If you wan't TWRP, stop after step 2
1) download goomanager
2) install TWRP via goo manager
3) download OUDHS for ATT i337 flashable zip
4) Reboot into TWRP Recovery
5) Flash OUDHS Recovery flashable zip.
ROM Manager and ODIN not required.
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD. Just ask the guy who flashed an aroma installed wicked S3 rom to his S4 (twice) He didn't even need bestbuy's "black tie" he just used the low budget walmart return policy.

Haha note taken. I fooled around a little more before I read this and finally stopped. I'll wait and see. I have premium so I wanted to flash touch. The original downloads fine and flashes, but doesn't stick. The touch one is giving me the server error which it wasn't doing an hour ago. I contacted the cwm team. Hopefully they'll get a working version up soon and fix the error. Until then, I'm staying with the OUDHS that I've had since the day of the exploit release.

[Q] need help with custom recovery

Hey guys I'm new to android had an iPhone for 6 years. Just got the gs4 two months ago. I rooted the phone took out bloat ware apps using titanium back up. Have a few other rooted apps. Got Interested in ROMs and kernels so did some research looked around on here to how to do it. I downloaded infamouses newest ROM. I have ROM manager and I downloaded cwm recovery through the Rom manager. When I go to back up my current ROM and everything it boots into recovery mode but it isn't cwm recovery. The emblem doesn't come up and I believe its the stock recovery. My question is how can I get the cwm recovery so I can back up my current ROM and then wipe it and install the new one. I'm new so sorry if this is easy or anything I appreciate all the help
Download goo manager and let it install twrp then just flash cwm thru twrp . Or keep twrp and remember to flash loki doki if needed.
Wait!
What firmware is your phone currently on? MDL OR MF3?
If MF3, stop now. Do not flash anything.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
Okay I figured out the problems. When I hit reboot and superuser is supposed to grant root permissions an error comes up saying superuser has stopped working then goes into the stock recovery mode. The only thing I found with MDL in it was the baseband version 1337UCUAMDL
Your safe to continue flashing custom recovery on MDL Baseband

Going on the information you have given, if you are doing right and using the correct version for your phone, GooManager and TWRP should be working for you. However, if you go to the development section and look for OUDHS CWM recovery, directions are given in the OP about how to manually install that recovery. Again, directions are in that thread about how to do it. I do hope you are reading all of every post that contains something you are trying to do (in other words, if you use OUDHS, read the entire thread first). Good luck.

Hey thanks for the help. I got twsp recovery through goo manager and worked perfectly. I'm having such a bad experience trying to install this rom. I went into the recovery mode after backing up my current rom and system. I wiped everything out then went into my sd card amd installed the zip that is listed in the infamous page in the developers part. I hit install and then said I'm not rooted and would I like to install superuser. I slide the thing and then went to reboot and now has been stuck saying samsung and custom with an open love under it. Pulled the batter went back into twsp and tried to reboot and still stuck. This is all after I thought I installed the rom already and nothing changed except wiped my phone. Can anyone help

Are you installing loki doki after the rom ?

Custom Recovery

Currently I have CWM version 1.0.3.4 and I'd like to either update it or go to TWRP. I've been trying all night but can't do it. When I try to update through ROM Manager, it says successful, but when booting into recovery it's still 1.0.3.4. Same with TWRP, I downloaded GooManager, and tried from there. Said successful, but did nothing. Is this a kernel issue? The way I see it, right now I cannot change my custom recovery no matter what. ( I also don't have access to a PC, so everything needs to be done on my device.. )
Thanks in advance!
Google s4 twrp zip xda. Flash that in your current recovery
Never use ROM manager for newer devices. It is very outdated.
