Root Samsung Galaxy Rush CWM issue

Hello all I would like to start off by saying I am new to this forum and new to the whole rooting of phones. I recently wanted to try it and see what it was all about. I've read some tutorials and downloaded Odin3, CWM-Rush-M830-Final.tar, and lastly SuperSu. I followed all the steps to a Tee..the problem I am having is that I cannot get CWM to flash to my phone. I open Odin3, click PDA and select the .tar file, uncheck all boxes in Odin3 except Auto Reboot, go into Download mode on my phone (Odin3 sees the phone), and I hit start. Everything appears to install correctly and the phone reboots with no errors. So now I power down the phone and try to enter CWM Recovery (Volume UP and Power Key) the phone enters the Default Android system Recovery <3e>. What am I doing wrong? Any help or advice is much appreciated please!

The auto reboot is the problem. The phone has a file inside it that replaces the stock recovery when the phone boots. You need to uncheck that option.

Then once Odin successfully installs cwm, unplug the phone & pull the battery.

Now replace the battery and hold volume up and then hold power. Continue to hold power until you see the Samsung logo and then release power but continue to hold volume up until you see cwm.

Now you can flash the su.zip and once you select reboot system, you should be prompted to 'disable recovery flash'

You are going to want to select yes. This will allow you to keep cwm

hey guys....

ive tried doing what was posted but its not working. im running 4.1.2 so I dunno if that's the problem. I can connect to odin and send the pda file no prob. its when I unplug the cord and pull out the battery and hold vol up and power that it just starts the normal power up. ive rooted my prevail and my galaxy tab 2 so I know what im doing. I read that I need to disable auto reboot but is that just the setting on odin (cuz ive done that) or is there some setting on my phone that needs to be checked. also should usb debugging be checked off on my phone? any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I just did this last night on a brand new rush upgraded to jb.

I had some problems getting it to boot into recovery myself. Just keep trying.

Once you flash recovery with Odin and the phone is powered off, hold volume up and power. Keep holding both buttons until you see the Samsung logo (actually I find its better to hold it for a couple seconds after you see the logo) then release the power button but keep holding volume up until it boots to cwm

lordvincent90 thank you for your posts!! I have been searching for this info for a while now. I am having the same problem as evillvi. I finally made it far enough to get the cwm .tar file successfully loaded onto my phone. Now I can't get the custom recovery screen to show.

I unchecked the auto reboot button on odin, so I manually reboot by pulling out the battery and then replacing it. I have tried holding down the volume up and power buttons a number of different ways (releasing power at the samsung logo, releasing power 2 seconds after the logo, holding it the whole time, etc.) but I have had no luck.

I keep getting the 3e android recovery screen. I have already wiped all my info in my vain attempts to root my phone. Any ideas? My goal is to get this issue resolved with software fixes before I break out the sledgehammer. I've already come close a couple times.

is it at any time getting to the boot animation? if the phone fully boots it will erase cwm and replace it with the stock recovery.

if its booting straight into the stock recovery from a powered off state (immediately after using odin) you may not have the drivers installed correctly.

-is the device in downloading mode?
-is odin showing that the device is connected?
-what is the output from odin? (the text in the box in the lower left corner)

I get the reboot animation if I hold the power button too long while starting recovery mode. It happens every third time or so, and it fully reboots. all other times I get the generic recovery screen.

I have checked my drivers and they seem to be working properly.

The device reaches downloading mode, odin shows the device is connected. it lights up and tells me everything is a pass. Here is the text from the odin message box:

Looks correct to me. The only thing I can think of is that you are letting it boot and its overwriting cwm with the stock recovery.

Try using odin again, pull the battery once it finishes and attempt to boot into cwm as noted above... if it doesn't boot into cwm and starts loading the boot animation (Samsung with the swirls) immediately pull the battery and try to boot into recovery again. (I actually left the battery cover off so I could quickly pull the battery if I needed)

Once Odin3 says done! Pull the usb cord out and the battery

(Now cwm recovery is on your phone, but to get to it you can not let your phone boot)

Go straight to cwm ( put the battery back in, hold vol. up & power buttons) if you fail to enter cwm try again, pull the battery out and try again, but don't let the phone boot until after you have enterd cwm

I didn't even think to ask if he had removed the USB cable. I find it extremely difficult to get into recovery while the usb cable is connected

That was it! Every time it fully booted I lost my chance to use cwm until I used odin again. Pulling the battery helped keep me on track. Now I am fully rooted and trying to use titanium backup to move my apps to my sd card. A whole other battle...

Thanks for all the help! You guys are awesome!!!

Another thing I've found while flashing CWM onto my Rush is that it had a problem until I unplugged my USB cable from my hub block and plugged it straight into the side of my laptop, everything works better when you have USB cable from your phone plugged directly into your computer's USB port...


Just some useful info... :p

I've been having the same problem. I have an ootb 4.1.2 Reverb, and I use Odin, works perfectly and installs the CWM fine. So now I have installed the .tar file through odin and i now have unplugged it, took the battery out, and put the battery back in. THIS is the part where I fail, I cannot get into recovery mode, I push up on the volume button and hold it and hold the power button until the logo comes up and release the power button when the logo does come up and it still boots up with the swirly animation and removes the cwm thing. I'm a newbie so no hate. Thanks for a quick response

I have followed all these instuctions several times and I still get booted up into stock recovery. When I remove my battery and replace it then hold the power and volume up button the samsung logo appears and I release the power and it just turns my phone on. If i continue to hold it it boots me into stock. Pls help I am getting so frustrated. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

First off make sure you uncheck the auto reboot option in Odin before you flash the CWM .tar, as far as booting into CWM from Power Off goes, put the battery back in the phone then hold VOL UP + Power button til you see the Samsung Logo, when you see the Samsung Logo release the Power button still holding the VOL UP button until Recovery comes up... hope this helps...

I'm also having the same problem as everyone else. I've followed all the directions along with the suggestions mentioned here but I still can't get into cwm. When the Samsung logo appears I get the yellow triangle with an exclamation point on the screen so I'm guessing that means I did something but it's just not working.

*Nevermind, didn't realize I was trying to install the ics one on jb.
