Step 1: ODIN CWM
Step 2: Flash Attached zip from recovery.
Step 3: Reboot.
New probem (or is it n00b problem?):

Trying to install superuser-3 (from above link); here's what shows step-by-step -

-- Installing: /sdcard/superuser-3.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
**************************************************************
Superuser 3.0.7 for Android 2.0-3.2
**************************************************************
Mounting SYSTEM...
Deleting SYSTEM:bin/su...
Deleting SYSTEM:xbin/su...
E:Error in /sdcard/Superuser-3.zip
(Status 0)
Installation aborted.

Anyone?

[EDIT] Other posters have said "try it 'x' times", well...after the 6th time in a row it finally worked.

Just keep trying until you get success.

For the life of me i cannot boot into CWM.

I used odin and flashed the ICS leak.
I the booted up and it worked fine.
I used odin to flash the CWM. It says completed.
I rebooted and phone works fine.
I then power off. Pulled battery. And did the following:

Volume down+ power til the Second samsung logo and it still boots up as normal. Am i pushing the wrong buttons?

Edit:
Its volume up + volume down + power

You need a pc to use Odin. You may want to wait for a flashable zip...

I can confirm that retrying it several times will eventually work. I had to retry 4 times but it installed properly

Same here, took 4 tries. Rooting gingerbread went the same way--error messages several times before it took. No worries. :cool:

THIS apparently doesn't fully root or else it doesn't set the right root permissions?

Upon using system tuner pro (and a few other apps) I get "[APPNAME] does not have root access, please check"

Keep doing factory resets till they work. ;)


Are there any heimdall packages for cwm? I almost destroyed my dignity using my Windows laptop to install ICS yesterday. I don't think I can handle anymore. :(
