anyone still following this post?

I've been trying to get the cwm file, but the original thread downloads something else entirely. the zip file is named correctly, but there is nothing but a "recovery.bin" file name and in the file type description in says "VLC media..."

I'm not the only one with this problem. Could someone please follow up on this? Thanks

Just put it in Odin/flash in CWM depending on which you picked. If you Odin, I think you have to put the recovery.bin in the Phone slot, or you can just put the tar in either slot.

You cant let it boot. Booting reinstalls the android recovery. Maybe, have battery out, then try booting with the 5 finger combo, or uncheck reboot in odin.

reboot was unchecked. did everything from the video except for replacing the cwm step with the .bin per your advice.

reboot was unchecked. followed video with the exception of the bin file per your instructions.


this probably should have been stated with the first post, but prior to doing all this my phone was rooted with EI22 then did the unroot to FC09....if that matters/helps

Hmm maybe just try exactly like the video, perhaps I'm wrong. Worked for me a few days ago.

.md5 files are not the archive, but the signature to verify your download.

Here are instructions to properly root your phone by flashing clockwork mod via download mode:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Sa...te_Guide#Installing_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery

Then you will want to boot into recovery and install whatever ROM you want from the SD Card using the recovery mode.

Odin tars are .tar.md5 or .tar. its not a signature check, but if flashing that doesn't work, delete .md5.

That's the page with the link I was talking about. I download from that link and all I get is the zip file with 'recovery.bin" I'm sure its me, otherwise you guys wouldn't be citing the same link every time.:eek:

Hows that?

Just ignore it. Windows is reporting erroneously. Just put it in Odin and flash.

Okay I end up following your advice on putting on the phone slot and not the PDA Odin did its thing I got the green pass message. Did as the instructions said on the YOUTUBE video ,got to the reboot screen after doing the 3 button thing only theres no Clockwork thing poping up just the same old Android system recovery screen 3e
oh and thank you for responding ive been going crazy going through all these instructions im on hour number 5 here
WAIT A Sec ok Im in the SDcard screen went to the FC09-BML File but its not asking me to install it just opens up to the files in it.Was I supposed to install this file as a zip file and not extract it? And if so what do I now which file do I go to?
