What are you planning to do with CWM?

Currently, ROM Manager doesn’t support your device. That’s why you can’t flash CWM through it..
when i click start i get error an unnamed file was not found. any ideas what i did wrong
when i click the OPS button and click the tass file it doesnt show in odin. any ideas
PLEASE REPLY Me
Well, turning on USB debugging is not that important. You can proceed further without doing so..
it is important. i can’t connect my phone to the computer
Put your phone in download mode. It’s not at all required..
But when i put the usb when my phone is in download mode, my computer can’t detect the phone.
You have to install Samsung drivers in your PC..
I Need Your Help!

Hey there i have a question My phone is rooted is there a problem if it
is already rooted?
It is better if you have rooted your phone before installing CWM.
Hi, I have a question (I don’t really understand this CWM thing…sorry)…
If this was installed…then I can flash Custom ROMs…If I failed to flash it I can get back to my Stock ROM…
Is this correct???
same problem installed smoothly but cant open the cwm mode
how long does it (odin multi downloader) process?
and what does ” — cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5″ mean?, saw in in the message box.
Also uninstall kies.

Hey I’ve got this problem.
I can’t get into CWM recovery mode. I’ve installed Clockworkmod via your tutorial, everything went smooth without problems. But when I try to get into CWM recovery mode, via Home+Power, only Samsung logo boot screen appears and gets stuck and nothing happens after that.
Any solutions for that? My phone is rooted btw.
I have exactly the same problem does anyone know how to fix this???
Help I’ve done everything in the instruction but when im trying to go into recovery mode it cant go..its stuck in samsung logo ..what should i do? thanks
I experienced a similar problem, first upgrade to gingerbread using ODIN, then install CWM, it solves the issue
Hello
How can I do that with a PC running under Ubuntu 12.04, plz ?
You’ll have to use a tool called Heimdall to flash CWM on your Galaxy Mini…
