[GUIDE] Flash Clockworkmod recovery on Galaxy Mini/Pop

---

At first: Download the attachments to this post. warning: If you have Android Froyo, download CWM-Froyo.tar. If you have Gingerbread, download tass-recovery-cwm.tar

For the steps 4-9, there is a screenshot below.

After downloading, you can start using my little guide!

1. Power down your phone.

2. Enter download mode by pressing 'Volume down + Home button + power button. Wait a second. After some time the screen says download.

3. Connect through USB to your PC.

4. Launch ODIN v4.38.

5. Wait for Odin to recognize your phone. (At the left, there will be a yellow box that says COM "?", the number can be different.)

6. Select Tass_v1.0.ops by pressing the 'OPS-button'

7. Make sure 'One package' is marked at the left of the window.

8. Select tass-recovery-cwm.tar with the 'One Package-button' at the bottom of your window.

9. Press start, wait 'till your phone reboots. Now you'll have ClockWorkMod-recovery installed.

Does this work for Froyo as well?
If not maybe you should add it to your guide as a warning!

Nevertheless thank you very much for the guide!

Well, as far as my experience goes, it does.

But, found a version that's specially made for froyo, so I'll add it to the post.

Please add some screenshot for newbies

Tnx for your tip!

EDIT: added a screenshot...

Hi have the stock 2.3.5, I flashed clockworkmod and I tried to do a backup of my rom. Clockwork on opening says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

and then when I try to do a backup the same errors...
if I select "mounts and storage" I can't manually mount nothing (/system, /cache, /data).
I try to format the 32GB sdcard again and I changed it with another one (2GB). Same results :(
anyway the problem it isn't the memory card, clockworkmod can see the contents of it. the problem is that can't mount system folders...

Had the same problem last time. Try to contact the developers over at Clockwork...

You might get some help over there. I've just made this guide, I am not the developer.

You can't backup stock roms using this CWM recovery since it still doesn't supports backing up of rfs partitions. The developer left it so since we believed those who will be using CWM recovery will probably be using any custom rom which is supported for backup.

Agree with yagya.... Cwm fully function on ext 2/3/4 file system only. I've tried on stock rom xxkws2, backup sucseed..but failed to restore.
