Recently rooted and installed clockwork mod on my fascinate but everytime I go to recovery it tries to find an update package, fails, and the only options available are to
Reboot system now
Apply update zip from sd card
Wipe data
Wipe cache
I can update but it only reinstalls Superclean Rom..
What am I doing wrong??
At the bottom half of my screen it shows that it tries to find update then throws a signature not verified error...

Have you flashed cwmrecovery.tar in Odin, and do you have the update.zip for it in the root of your sdcard?
I used odin to install CWM and yes I have a CWM zip on the root of my sd card..

So I've been locked out of clockworkmod, with the error that it can't read /cache/update.zip. I've looked in the /cache/ directory, and there's no update.zip in there. Could I just get the update.zip from someone's /cache/ directory who is able to run clockworkmod and put it in my /cache/ folder to fix this?

Can you get to rom manager? If so.. just install clockwork again. Update.zip is on the sd card..

I can get into ROM manager, and I've done this more than once. The update.zip you're talking about is in /sdcard/. When I try to get into recovery, the error message is that it can't find the update.zip in /cache/, not /sdcard/.
there is no update.zip in /cache/
there is a /cache/recovery but it is empty.
I'm still guessing that your update.zip is corrupted or something. I would try running rom manager, flash clockwork recovery, then reboot into recovery.
Can you even get to the samsung recovery?

Okay, let's just forget I said anything. I have no idea why or how, as I haven't done anything with the phone (nearly literally, I've had one phone call and been handling all my texting through Voice), and now it works. Egg on my face.
LOL love when things fix themselves haha
Well, I don't, because then you never find out how to fix it if it happens again. Which it did. I just had to keep hitting "reinstall packages" in the stock recovery, which would just put me back in the stock recovery, until it eventually put me into ClockworkMod recovery. Guess that'll do for now.
For some reason after the J16 update my recovery went back to stock even after I updated via rom manager. Had to do it again after I restarted and now it loads clockwork fine. Backing up with it now.
Did you get any error messages when it took you to stock recovery? Also, when you updated to JI6, did you update to a JI6 ROM that had ClockworkMod included? If you updated to the OTA JI6 you would have lost ClockworkMod, I think.
I have rom manager installed and am trying to install a rom from sdcard I keep gettin error message after it boots into recovery mode can someone tell me what I am doing wrong

Try giving us a little more details on what the error message says. Otherwise it's hard to determine what exactly you're doing wrong.
We can start with the basics, do you have ClockWorkMod installed?
Yes clockworkmod is installed, the error message e: file signature failed
E:failed to verify
Installation aborted

Try installing the ROM without using ROM Manager. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery, then manually choose the zip and flash.
This usually means that clockwork is not installed correctly and that you are not flashing the rom from within clockwork.

I installed it from rom manager and it said it installed right, hold down vol down power and camera to get into recovery mode correct? Then how do I manually choose the zip file?

I rooted my epic w one click and I did a factory restore did that take out my root privs ?

It definitely sounds as though you haven't properly installed ClockWork -- IT appears you are booting in to the stock recovery, which will not allow you to flash a rom.
Assuming your phone is rooted, you will want to goto this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
and download this method of installing clockwork. Follow the directions on the post, and you shouldn't have an issue getting clockwork to run.
I'm just curious....did you rename or move this from inside the phone? I know I moved a couple roms using astro and then tried and no go.....maybe it was just me tho...

My phone is rooted and set up correctly but I am unable to get into to the clockwork recovery at all. I have tried through either rom manager or stock recovery update.zip any ideas?

Delete the update.zip and clockworkmod folder from your SD card and uninstall Rom Manager. Do a factory reset and totally wipe your phone.
Using ODIN (PDA) flash this package to your phone. Remove battery, hold vol down key and plug in usb. Replace battery and start the flash using this file.

When the phone resets you may have to activate your phone again.
Go to App Market and re-download Rom Manager. Click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery .. Samsung Fascinate. After that click Reboot into Recovery and install from zip.
Is there any way to do it we without odin? My monitors broken so I have no computer access.

Well Rom Manager should work that way but unfortunately it doesn't. At least for me it doesn't. I have seen threads stating you can mount the update.zip and apply in stock recovery but it didn't work for me.
You have to flash it with odin first, then with rom manager. No need to factory reset our any of that... Just flash with odin first
My objective is to upgrade to froyo.
I have stock samsung vibrant eclair. Device is rooted, has recovery manager installed, is not hardware locked. I have already installed clockwise recovery using rom manager.
I have bionix rom downloaded to my internal sd card's root folder. I select "install from folder" in rom manager. It reboots but I do not find any option to install from sd card. I do reinstall software, out just installs update.zip and reboots to 2.1 over and again.
In short, I can not figure out how to get into clockwise recovery. It just shows 4 options _ reboot, reinstall, wipe user data and write cache. No option to install from sd card. I have wiping data and cache but that does not help.
Incidentally, I had successfully flashed bionix but can not do it again.

*clockwork recovery
Look on your internal SD card, do you see an Update.zip file?
Tried 3 button recovery procedure, reinstall packages, reboots into cwm, then install from zip?
Had issue with 3e recovery where it would do start you describe, but not from stock.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Try it more than once if you have rooted it already with update folder or superoneclick. It can take 2 or 3 tries to recognize. IT you get stuck Odin back to stock, then root and go from there. good luck
Locate the update file and delete it. In clockworkmod recovery app you need to choose flash clockworkmod recovery... its the top section in the app. Then choose vibrant. It will download and then flash it. Then choose boot into recovery. Then when in recovery choose reinstall packages. Then reinstall packages again. You should get clockworkmod recovery. Then choose your zip and locate on sd card and install.

Odd...maybe try flashing one of supercurio's voodoo kernels, they have cwm built in.

Ok i had the same issues i couldn't reboot into cwm recovery always to default 2e. I found workaround
1. Download cwm recovery for your phone
2. Rename that folder to update.zip
3. Put update.zip to internal SD card
4. Turn off phone
5. Hold volume up and down and power button
6. When you go to recovery go to install packages it will install cwm and it will go to cwm automatically
7.Now go to install zip from SD card find your ROM
8. Enjoy
I am 2e recovery. Tried to reflash it from cwm.
Is there a link to download cwm as a file so I can flash it using reinstall option.

Link gives me error - invalid link. Could it be because I am downloading it on the phone directly?

In the meanwhile I did this ...
Deleted update.zip from rot folder.
In rom manager, choose option to flash clock wise recovery.
In the file manager, I could see that update.zip file was now there .. 577kb.
In rom manager, I chose to reboot into recovery
Reinstall option in the recovery mode.
It gave me an error something like.
.. Inflation aborted ... ,(bad)
Seems like the file getting downloaded is bad.
Any ideas?

Since I could odin 2.1, I am wondering if there is a2.2 rom that I can download and flash using odin?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

@raaaa86 I am struck at a place where I dont have internet on laptop which is one reason why I am trying to get to 2.2

**Solved**
Here is how...
I can not say for sure that this exactly solved the issue since I did quite a few other things before being able to boot into recovery mode. But this would be my best conclusion:
- Open Rom Manager
- Menu -> Clear cache
- Flash clockwise recovery again
I believe, somewhere I had a bad download that did not do proper flashing of the clockwise recovery. Here is the link that ticked me..
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/koush/47399-upgrade-rom-rom-manager-problem.html
In between my last post and now, I did the below other steps:
- Got hold of a place to hook up my laptop to a decent speed internet
- Used Mini kies to flash stock 2.2 rom from Samsung
- So, at this time, I was on 2.2 already
- Used SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse to root the phone
- Got error "Not enough space" during copying
- adb shell and remounted /system in rw mode
- cleaned up some bloatware in /system/app folder so that I had about 15 MB free in /system
- Used "3e_recovery_installer" to install modified recovery to address the signature issue with the stock samsung ROM
- Reboot
- Open ROM manager. Clear Cache as mentioned above
- Flash clockwise recovery, reboot, reinstall
- VOILLA! i am in the Clockwise recovery screen
- And there I flashed the bionix 1.2.1
THANKS TO ALL FOR THE QUICK RESPONSES, LINKS etc. Very much appreciated.
So got update notifcation about new recovery in Rommanager
Anyone else having issues with new cwr 3.0.2.4 not working
ATM I reverted back to previous build
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
yeah it didnt work. continue to use 3.0.0.5 or 3.0.2.5 (find it in dev forums and flash it via fastboot). or you could try playing with 3.0.2.4
by: fixing permissions, reboot, reflash recovery in ROM manager
fastboot flash 3.0.2.4 http://mirrorbrain.cyanogenmod.com/cm/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img
