Epic wont boot into clockwork - Epic 4G General

Ok so I boughtmy phone today and I rooted. I ran rommanager and flashed clockwork recovery and downloaded a froyo rom and went into rommanager and clicked install rom in rmmanger. I chose the .zip and clicked wipe data and cache. It reboots and goes to stock recovery. It won't boot into Clockwork I tried many different root methods but nothing works. Any help would be apreciated.

Help please

rom manager is not supported by the stock kernel- to use clockwork you need to use the one click on the dev forum

Can you use the Z4 method?

Happened to me too. Once you install Clockwork Recovery with Rom manager, turn off phone, then turn it on but hold the vol down and camera buttons until the samsung.com screen. Then viola Clockwork recovery.
Basically I got both recoveries on here after using the one click method. All apps that reboot into recovery goto stock which I do need a fix for.

[Q][Q]Phone not using clockwork recovery[Q][Q]

i can only boot into clockwork mod recovery using the standard 3 button method. When i use Rom manager or Root manager to go into recovery it takes me into stock android recovery, does anyone know why?
also my epic will not let me flash noobln's rom, it says the file is messed up despite downloading several time?? however I was able to flash the boss rom.
Sounds like you lost your root.
Mine does the same thing concerning using rom manager to boot into recovery. Have to manually boot into recovery. Root is fine though.

It looks like you used noobnl one click to install the CWM recovery to blm8- if you also want rom manager support you need a kernel that supports it on bml7- you can flash that via the CWM- if you search you will find a stock kernel that has CWM support along with several other roms

I don't have it flashed but the latest mixup lists rom manager support- what happens when you try to boot into recovery via rom manager- do you get an "unsigned error"?

Yep i get the unsigned error but using the manual method works. Im reading its because i used the 1 click clockwork method. I used noobnls newest final clockwork.
When i did it koushs way it would work with rom manager.

I might not be understanding your post correctly but I have both methods working - I can manually boot into CWM via three button and also get to CWM via root manager- I used noobnls final and then used it to flash koushs kernel

Sorry. I am running stock rom. Mixup kernal on top of it with rom manager support. Then have noobnls clockwork flashed on top of mixup kernel.
Last week i went back to stock. I rooted then installed the hacked clockwork then installed koushs kernel to get permanent clockwork and it worked from rom manager as well as the three button way. I then flashed mixup over koushs kernel and that's when it quit working from rom manager.
I am wondering if i can reflash koushs kernel and then mixup because before when i did it mixup didn't support clockwork. I didn't flash koushs way on my new epic.
So basically i would have done this.
Noobnls one click with rom manager and fixed su> koushs kernel> mixup kernel????

Delete the update.zip file from the root of your sdcard and open rom manager backup re-install clockwork recovery

I dont understand but Ill try
Mixup Supports clockwork and rom manager so using market download it and install clockwork recovery.
If you ever have to boot into either STOCK recovery or the THREE FINGER clockwork RECOVERY METHOD.
Navigate to INSTALL UPDATE.ZIP select and you will now be in the proper clockwork recovery
REMEMBER ALWAYS BACKUP

yeah Same happens to me using Switch pro widget. This new version 1.9 has the ability to reboot to recovery.. everytime I rebooted into recovery, it brought me to stock recovery. Seems like the clock work kept failing to delete the stock recovery, but if I press and hold volume down, on/off and camera it boots into clockwork recovery.

yeah apparently with the epic, they are still working out the kinks, i got Rom manager functioning correctly, but Root manager still boots into stock recovery. im guessing the devs of these apps will eventually fix this

From my limited understanding the epic has two recovery locations- one (bml8) is accessed through the 3 button push. The other (bml7) is accessed through adb reboot recovery or rom manager. Use noobnl CWM installer to install to bml8. To use rom manager (to place CWM on bml7) your kernel must support it (i.e. you have to flash to something else other than the stock kernel). hope that makes sense!
In some senses this is nice- if your rom gets messed up you can still access the recovery via the 3 button push
Also before you use rom manager for the first time make sure there is no "update.zip" on the root of your sdcard

[Q] Rom Manager/ Bootstrap help?

So I accidently flashed CW Recovery before I used bootstrap and now I can't boot into CW Recovery or create a backup. Any ideas?
Ive searched all over the place, Ive found some threads that describe what each do, but I guess Im just trying to understand the whole picture. I have the Bootstrap program on my phone, I also have Rom Manager (Im rooted and have SuperUser also.)
I guess where Im confused at is what to do with each of them.
On other phones Ive just went through Rom Manager, Flashed CW Recovery, created a backup then I was up and running.
Do I need to do this before running bootstrap, do I run bootstrap first?
Sorry for the rookie question, I guess this boot strap thing has me confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You have to use the bootstrap to get into clockwork recovery, run the first option in bootstrap, it should say "success" then use rom manager or the reboot recovery option. You need to do the bootstrap option every time you want to go to custom recovery.

So is it bad I flashed the CW recovery before using bootstrap? If so how the heck do I fix it, lol
I flashed CW recovery before I hit bootstrap. Shows I have the current Recovery Image
If I hit "reboot into recovery" through Rom manager it doesnt do anything. If I hit "bootstrap recovery" through droid x bootstrapper it says success, but when i hit reboot recovery it doesnt do anything either...
power+home button on power up just brings me to stock recovery screen..
im lost
Try running the first option in bootstrapper again, same with reflashing clockwork... rom manager can boot to recovery.

something is wrong with your root. try to re-root your phone the first time you run bootstrapper and rom manager you need to give them permission and it looks like you haven't yet so they can't work right. redo your root and it should solve your issues. also i find i need to bootstrap recovery before each time i try to use rom manager. kinda a pain i use recovery from bootstrap more often as its the same thing.
So even though Im rooted with the stock 2.2 I need to re-root it? Like just download a one-click-root and do it all over?
Should I factory reset before I do this?
The thing is I got the phone from a friend and it already had S.U on it, I just dont know what program he used to root it and what not...neither does he.

Can't Boot Into CWM from RM

Can anyone hep?
I have tried many times to boot into recovery from RM to now avail. Cannot flash a rom or theme either...
I tried flashing CWM for another phone, then reflashing Fascinate but that didn't work either.
Thoughts? Help?
I can manually boot into CWM.
Did you flash the CWM enabling patch through Odin?
Here is the link from the two submitted guides on root CWM, etc. in development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
You must run this patch before rom manager will install its custom recovery.

I'd guess flashing the wrong phone is what messed you up but if you can get into CWM recovery manually can't you flash roms/themes from there, or is that not working too? If it is working, then you don't really need be able to do it from Rom Manager.

Thank you though!

I had originally flashed the Fascinate, then by suggestion, flashed another phone and then the fascinate again... no luck.
I dont MIND booting into CWM manually, but so much easier to click and go, you know... laziness
You need to be rooted for ROM Manager to reboot the phone at all let alone into recovery. So just flashing CWM patch with Odin and then trying to have ROM Manager reboot the phone without root access isn't going to work.

You can try 3 different methods. First try flashing cwm3.0 twice from rom manager before rebooting. Second under the advanced options choose erase recovery before flashing new recovery. Third flash the recovery as a PC36IMG

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Stop using ROM Manager and do everything in Hboot or recovery.
The ONLY thing I use ROM Manager for anymore is to fix permissions.

Remove the -1 in the name, place the file on the root of your sdcard, and then flash in the bootloader.

I put the zip file and install it automatic with bootloader, very easy.

Drop that file on your sdcard, don't rename it or anything, and just boot into the bootloader. It'll ask if you want to apply the update, so pick yes. Ta-da!
did you follow the instructions for flashing Amon or are you trying to do it thru the software. Best bet is to do it thru bootloader like suggested

Make sure rom manager is up to date. A recent version had this problem.

Put this file on the root of your SD card....
Hold Power button and down volume, Bootloader will autodetect and ask if you want to apply the update. Say yes, then reboot into recovery.
You should have a good copy of AMON RA 2.3 BTW...the screen tears are normal.
