[RECOVERY] [SGH-I757M ONLY] v6.0.1.1 - Bell GS2 HD LTE ClockworkMod Recovery

[titanic_fanatic]

So re run ODIN? I did that and got a fail from Odin. (oh and thanks for the quick response)

Is kies running on the computer where you use Odin? If so, turn off kies as it's been known to mess with Odin. If that's not the case, are you able to use adb (java and android sdk must be installed) if so, you could try downloading a cwm flashable zip of cwm and push it to your phone using adb to re-flash cwm.

It's concerning though that Odin failed for you. That is your ultimate last resort for restoring your device.

Did you try using a different usb port with Odin? Maybe the port you used isn't providing a consistent connection.

Ok so the issue was me not putting my phone in the right state. Odin fixed me up well thank you.

The reason I in the first place had the issue was I downloaded Root Checker, and it keeps giving me the following message:

Please wait for Root Check to complete. System appears to be running very slow.

So after doing everything perfectly, I still don't have a rooted device.

Which Rom did you flash? Your recovery is rooted, you also need to flash a rooted Rom. There are now a bunch for this device including cm10.2

Oh I didn't actually have a ROM was just using Stock on the phone. Do you have a link to CM10.2? Very much appreciated.
I am a novice at most of this.

I am at a standstill and can't make heads or tails of what to do, here.
There is plenty of documentation on how to use Odin but I do not have a windows machine.
I see that my issue was addressed once before, a year or more ago but the source had not been released yet so no one knew the answer.

I have heimdall and have even come across a tut on rooting S2s with it but I cannot find the appropriate image/files to use on the I757M, I can only find the image for Odin.
Is there some way I can use that image with heimdall? Or is there a known method for heimdall and the SII HD LTE that I'm seemingly too inept to locate?

I'm also having issues with heimdall detecting the phone, even with debugging on and the device in the stock recovery screen.

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I should note, in case it helps, that I don't need to retain phone functionality, I hope to run a linux distro and run a few servers off of my local network.

To that note, if there's a way I can put on a direct install of some linux distro, that would be amazing, since I've only done so with a chroot environment on previous devices.

There is a project called ubuntu touch that is intended for mobile devices but is touch enabled. I looked at it briefly and think it would take some time to port it. If it's something you want to try to port, your welcome to use my github repos for building. I'm a little busy with kk right now, but if you have any questions about building, I might be able to answer them

After you flash cwm with Odin, are you letting the phone boot into android? If so, that's why, if you let it boot into android it will rewrite the recovery. To overcome, as soon as Odin displays a green pass message, hold both the volume up and volume down button at the same time. This should boot you into recovery before it gets overwritten. Once into cwm, you need to install a rooted Rom

Thanks so much, I'll try it again.

The most important thing to do is get cwm flashed with odin.

When using Odin, after it displays a green pass message, immediately remove the usb cord and use your 3 button combo to get into cwm before the phone has a chance to reboot.

If you do not do this quickly, the phone will finish rebooting and cwm is replaced by the 3e recovery, so make sure you get the phone into recovery as soon as Odin displays that pass message.

Once I did that, I was able to flash the custom rom with root. I then had to rename the two files I mentioned above and reflash cwm.

Now I'm rooted with the cm10 jelly bean Rom and am loving it. I did have to flash the stock bell modem, but that was easy enough to find. I can't find the link right now, but I'll post it later off you can't find it.

Hello,

I can' t seem to get this to work. I hope people still frequent this thread even though it is somewhat an outdated phone.

I've tried doing what you wrote here but I can't get CWM to load, I am holding down volume up and volume down but it just boots up like normal, I don't even get the stock recovery. However it does say "safe mode" when it boots up. Has this problem ever occurred for anyone else?


EDIT:

I figured it out. The original quote above was confusing but I found your newer post which was much clearer in instructions.
