[ROOT][CWM][R910/R915][GPL] Indulge All in One Root and ClockworkMod for Win/Intel Mac/Linux

DRockstar · July 24th, 2011, 01:34 PM

This will Root and install ClockworkMod 3.1.0.1 Purple Edition for both Samsung Galaxy Indulge models (R910 and R915).

This has been a lot of work, porting ClockworkMod separately for both indulge models, and creating an entirely new root script that checks for and installs the correct files for each model.

There is a menu in the script, to Install Root and ClockworkMod, Remove Root and ClockworkMod, Reboot Recovery, Reboot Phone, and Quit.

DISCLAIMER: As with all android development, I am not responsible for whatever may happen to your phone. You are being given tools that allow you to modify the phone in ways your carrier did not intend, which voids all warranties. I have made every effort to ensure this is safe for your phones; however, I can not control what you do with these tools.

OK, some of you are asking:

WHAT IS CLOCKWORKMOD AND WHAT DOES IT DO FOR YOU?

ClockworkMod Recovery is a replacement for the Samsung recovery, with additional functions that include:
* Backups and restores of your entire phone state, called nandroid backups. Nandroid backups include the entire partition contents for the system, data, and kernels.
* The ability to flash ROM zip files that developers make
* Wipe caches, and battery stats
* Ability to do this without a computer, all from the phone

ROM Manager allows you to perform the most widely used functions from the ROM Manager apk, available for free from the market. If you'd like to support koush, the creator of ClockworkMod and ROM Manager, then purchase ROM Manager Premium from the market. If you want to support me for porting ClockworkMod Recovery for both Indulge models, and writing one of the best and most complex root scripts ever, then CLICK HERE AND MAKE A DONATION.

DO NOT FLASH ZIPS THAT AREN'T SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR YOUR EXACT PHONE MODEL, IT CAN RESULT IN A BRICK!!!! THIS ESPECIALLY INCLUDES ROMS BETWEEN THE R910 AND R915 MODELS!!!! IF IT ISN'T MADE FOR YOUR EXACT MODEL, DO NOT FLASH IT, OK???

NOTE: I AM WORKING ON NEW DEVELOPER NOTES FINALLY, SEE THE POST BELOW THIS ONE. Both Indulge models now are supported by ROM Manager, which is great news!

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING:

Make sure the phone is in USB Debugging mode, by going to:
Phone home screen > menu > Settings > Applications > Development
and make sure USB debugging is checked.

Make sure your antivirus is off before downloading, since the exploit needed to get into the phone shows as a virus for most scanners... Don't worry, this will NOT harm your PC.

WINDOWS:

Install the drivers located here:
http://drockstar.devphone.org/indulge/MetroPCS_SCH_R910_USB_Drivers_v1.3.650.0.exe

Extract the zip contents, and go into the indulge.aio.v1.00 directory

Double click run.

INTEL MAC AND LINUX:

Note: No drivers required. Certain Linux distros won't have the udev rule set up, and that will need to be created manually. If you don't know how to do this, boot from an Ubuntu boot disc and run the script from that.
Also: sudo privileges are required to start and stop the adb server when connecting to the phone. Please run from an adminstrator account (or in sudoers file), and provide your user password when prompted.

Extract the zip contents. Open Terminal. cd to the extracted directory. If the zip was downloaded and extracted in the ~/Downloads folder, the command would be:

Code:

cd ~/Downloads/indulge.aio.v1.00

Give execute permissions to the run.sh script:

Code:

chmod +x run.sh

Finally, run the script:

Code:

./run.sh

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If for some reason the script fails, then the first step is to reboot the phone. A computer reboot may also be necessary. In worst case, uninstall the drivers, reboot the computer, and reinstall them. Windows drivers can especially be a pain, and accounts for about 90% of all script failures.

BOOTING INTO CLOCKWORKMOD:

* Power off the phone.
* Hold down both the R keypad key, and Power, until you see the ClockworkMod menu.

Alternatively:
* Use the Quickboot apk, free from the android market, choosing Reboot Recovery
* Use ROM Manager, free from the android market, choose Reboot into Recovery. ROM Manager will boot into the latest recovery version supported by koush, the creator of ClockworkMod and ROM Manager.

BOOTING INTO CLOCKWORKMOD RECOVERY:
FROM POWER OFF: Press and Hold the R Key, and Power at the same time, until the ClockworkMod menu appears.

BOTH INDULGE MODELS ARE NOW ROM MANAGER COMPATIBLE! Note that ClockworkMod must already be on the phone for it to work. Get ROM Manager free from the android market, open, and select Flash Clockwork Recovery. Choose Samsung Indulge 910 (MetroPCS) or Samsung Indulge 915 (Cricket). Now you should be able to use any of the ROM Manager functions. If you choose Reboot into Recovery from ROM Manager, you'll notice that the ClockworkMod menu is now orange, and says v4.0.1.5, which is the latest official version at the time of this post. Your backups and so forth should be compatible with my original v3.1.0.1 Purple Edition. Please note that you'll only boot into cwm v4.0.1.5 from ROM Manager, it does not replace the purple one from the All in One script.

It was another challenge for me to get official ROM Manager support for these phones... I had to learn some new things to get official support from koush, the creator of ClockworkMod and ROM Manager. Now that the Indulge is supported, Koush will now be able to put the latest ClockworkMod version into ROM Manager. Some will be baffled by the fact that using quickboot reboot recovery or R+Power combo will still boot into ClockworkMod v3.1.0.1... this is because ROM Manager isn't physically replacing the CWM, it is flashing the latest CWM *from* the current one, in what we call a CWM fakeflash. I wanted to explain why there are 2 versions of CWM, and that ROM Manager will always use the latest official CWM build for your phone.

DEVELOPER TUTORIALS:

EXTRACTING FILES FOR ROMS
* Make sure the phone is rooted first, and that all the files you want modified in the system are done how you want.
* Use your computer OS terminal to cd to the AIO directory.
* Make a folder named system.
* In the command line, issue the following commands:

Code:

adb pull /system system
adb shell ls -lR /system >sysperms.txt

* the system folder on your computer will contain all of the files in the partition, except for symlinks.
* Use the sysperms.txt as a reference for the permissions of all the files, I've found it to be handy. Also note the symlinks in this list, as you'll need to create them in your ROM updater-script.

ENSURING YOUR ROM ONLY FLASHES ON THE INTENDED PHONE MODEL

Since the SCH-R910 (MetroPCS) and SCH-R915 (Cricket) phone models differ in their mounts, ROMs that use model exclusive mount points and kernels should have an assert included in the top of the updater-script to ensure that the zip will only flash on the intended phone model. This can be achieved by using the foollowing edify script:

Code:

ui_print("Verifying Phone Model...");
assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "SCH-R910" ||
       getprop("ro.build.product") == "SCH-R910");

This will prevent a lot of borks we have to deal with in the IRC channels due to someone with with a Cricket model flashing a MetroPCS ROM, for example.

Edify scripting

...for future use.

Note: If you've already rooted, it is indeed safe to use this to get CWM.

HUGE THANKS to DRockstar for all of his efforts here!

traajik · July 24th, 2011, 03:54 PM

thnk you so much. ubuntu 11.04

is_mah_yell · July 25th, 2011, 03:43 PM

I got it working, not after failing the first time though.

I gave my phone 5-10 minutes, on the 'Samsung' screen, before deciding to flash it using odins guide..

softtech · July 25th, 2011, 04:22 PM

Stupid question, but does this ROM fix the problem with the extended batteries not charging in the phone?

Oops. Wrong place. Ignore me. Well, here anyway.

Hmm, this script only installs the root files and cwm files... it doesn't install anything having to do with market apps.

Out of curiosity, what model are you using (910 or 915), and have you installed any ROMs?

FusionNeo · July 26th, 2011, 03:10 PM

So I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for all the hard work you've done. This was my first time using CWM and I absolutely loved being able to switch from Exodus to Basix on the fly as well as a complete Nandroid backup. Thanks for everything, it's nice to have CWM on this phone.

TheBigFabio · July 28th, 2011, 03:05 PM

What exactly does the Clockwork Mod and things like that do?

Just use this, and no, there is not a flashable version. It wouldn't be useful if there were, as the stock recovery is useless to us.

momslilnoob · August 9th, 2011, 02:06 AM

I had the previous all in one root... I just installed this new one and phone was more faster and very prompt to the touch... I will be trying the new basix rom too

Disable all antivirus programs on your PC, re-download your CWM and run it through it's paces..

I installed the drivers for windows and after doing so, I download the AIO file, open the v.100 folder and click run.bat. IT then says rageagaunsttecage-arm5.bin is missing. Press any key to continue and then the window closes. Am I doing something wrong? Please help thank you.

You have to disable your antivirus software before downloading the AIO. rageagainstthecage is a Linux exploit (used to root the phone), and will be deleted by your AV software. That's why the script can't find it.

Disable your AV, redownload AIO, and start over.

driodnub · August 28th, 2011, 12:00 AM

Well my anti virus software is disabled and still nothing, should i uninstall and reinstall the drivers and redownlad the AIO? Also am I running the right file, there are two run.bat (which i've been running) and run.sh.

driodnub · August 28th, 2011, 12:31 AM

Can anyone please help? I am still getting the same problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

aawshads · August 30th, 2011, 11:23 AM

ok, am I missing something? I ran it (Thank you) Have Superuser on the phone, everything working fine. I have tried every key combination I can think of and cannot get onto CWM. Any help?

nick2618 · August 30th, 2011, 02:12 PM

I am very new to this rooting thing but I do know that I should be able to make a nandriod back up. I just did this root method and it worked prefect the second time after a phone reboot. But now how do I back up the phone?

Thanks for any help

Shatterproof · August 30th, 2011, 03:50 PM

You can now use ROM Manager with both the R910 &R915, so you can get into CWM frm there ; )

Actually, you're not. You can Odin at any time. But if you read the instructions in the Basix thread, it answers all of your questions.

I already downloaded this and the drivers i am using windows xp and i get stuck at the end where it says adb connection will reset and then cmd closes and i dont know what to do please help me and usb debugging is on but i think some one mentioned to me that i have to allow mock locations.

Maxorata · September 26th, 2011, 06:57 PM

Hi,
Thanks for your hard work. I've installed clockworkmod on my samsung galaxy 910 (metroPCS). My question is: How do I use the internet (tether my phone)? this is the only reason why I rooted it, because I assume I'm rooted. I can see the "Superuser" icon on my phone as well as the "Rom Manager's."
Thanks in advance.

huckle · September 27th, 2011, 09:31 PM

I screwed the pooch I think. I am rooted with SuperOneClick. I loaded a root access Font app today and had to reboot after trying to make my font bigger. When it came back up all I can see is "TwLauncher had unexpected error" and told me force close and then is keeps popping back up. HELP???? I found a post on how to get into recovery console. I cleared cache, no success, I wiped it, no success. I put the original SD card back in am trying to upgrade.zip from SD now but don't think that will work either. Is it a brick???

flipkidmode06 · September 29th, 2011, 10:26 AM

If you've successfully used this package to root your phone - and this is the ONLY package you should ever use to get root and CWM - you will have a purple recovery. If you have anything else, you've done it wrong, and need to carefully follow the instructions in the first post.

Once you're back on stock, do exactly that. You will be able to boot into CWM as listed once you have. Once there, you can flash what you like.

flipkidmode06 · September 29th, 2011, 12:45 PM

when i do have the purple 1 it only gives me reboot system now,applysdcard:update.zip,wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition...i dont get the other options that i need...but ill go ahead and try again but those are the options i get everytime

The purple recovery included in this all in one includes 100% of the standard CWM options. If you do not get them, you have done something wrong.

flipkidmode06 · September 29th, 2011, 05:31 PM

smh no such luck,then i notice in the acs-indulge-root-unroot folder that i downloaded from here there is no recovery file,i c everything else but that am i missing that? because im telling u i dont get the install from sd option just what i told u previously,sorry for being such a noob and a pest....
