I am on a rooted Samsung Vibrant running Froyo and CWM 2.5.1.2. I cannot boot into CWM's recovery. I tried flashing CWM again and again, but I didn't work. I tried reinstalling packages at least 5 times and nothing. I just boot into the normal recovery. It worked the very first time I tried it, right after I rooted it and I installed CWM for the first time, then I had to reinstall packages twice. I used super-one-click to root my phone. I am using the latest version of busybox. I have given ROM Manager superuser access. I reinstalled ROM Managed. I deleted the clockworkmod folder and update.zip and installed CWM again. I have tried re-rooting twice with no success. What's the problem? It worked the very first time I rooted. But why not now?
I have this happen from time to time with ROM Manager....I just go clear down to the bottom and install an older version...say 2.5.1.1, hit reboot into recovery and it does, and then I update back to 2.5.1.2 and it will work after that on the newer version

Sorry, that didn't work.
Opps didnt see the Froyo..you need a modded 3e recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
Yea you have to use the "froyo" version, but you will also need to delete slacker radio from your phone via titanium first. That is the only way it would work for me.

Sorry, that didn't work either. Should I just restore to the stock 2.2 on my Vibrant? If so, where would I get the Stock 2.2 Vibrant files?
How do you feel abt voodoo?? You can install one of Supercurios kernels with voodoo and it will give you CWM recovery and root

Damn...Im still half asleep.....I re-read your post...the update.zip has to stay on your internal sd... I saw you deleted it which is why CWM isn't working. ROM Manager adds to that file when installing CWM Recovery.

It is in my internal SD. It's at /update.zip It added that every time I downloaded CWM. Should I Odin back to the stock 2.2?
You can.. that way you start out fresh and eliminate the chances for errors

Sorry, I'm a noob to the Android scene, How would I restore to Stock 2.2 for Vibrant? Is there a guide or tutorial?

When you ran the script to get the recovery to 2e, did you put the phone into shell root first using super one click?

I am having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THIS GUY. And it's really frustrating, I have been working at getting this ****ing phone updated to some version of 2.2 for about 5 hours now.
Just had to say that.
you on 2.1?
UPDATE:
I flashed 2.1.1.0 clockwork... whichever one was at the bottom of the list. AND I uninstalled Slacker Radio (dont know if that helped it for sure)
But After reinstalling the packages, then booting to recovery with the volume buttons down, I reinstalled package AGAIN and then CLOCKWORK INSTALLED OR WHATEVER! So now I'm flashing a new rom from it! thanks!

I ve had to downgrade ROM manager before also...so you might be ok to move back to 2.5.1.1 after your flash
Also, earlier today I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
So that may be part of his issue.
Clockwork seems to be hanging on installing my ROM right now...
is it normal for the progress bar to not move once it hits "Formatting DATA:..." ?
yea as long as it keeps saying Formatting, Copying, deleting...it will move if it flashes good..

When you did this where you on 2.2 (kA6) or 2.1 (JI6)?
im asking because im on 2.2 but for the life of me i havent been able to get clockwork to run. ive done almost every single step there is out there and have had no luck, but im thinking that my phone is HW locked so that may be my problem.
i can flash any stock rom through odin (JFD) (JI6)
and (KA6) through kies mini
but i cant get into clockwork recovery in any of those rom's.
I was previously running a full stock phone, unrooted, with the OTA DL07 update. I flashed the stock DL30 rom leak, by flashing CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5 via odin, then applying update.zip (not the new one). Once in clockwork recover, I tried to apply the new_cwm.zip, but I got large zoomed in blue text that I couldn't read, and nothing really happened.
After a few reboots, I learned that I the DL09 I got OTA, somehow restores the recover, and I have to use odin every time before I plan on getting into clockwork. Anyways, I eventually just decided to ignore the new_cwm.zip, and just flash the DL30.zip via the old cwm. It worked, I ran DL30 for a few days, but today I wanted to wipe battery stats, but I can't get back into cwm.
I can't flash CWMRecovery_DJ05_DL09.tar.md5 anymore, it fails, and then my phone won't boot, until I flash Stock-i500-VZW-Recovery.tar.md5, upon which I can boot my phone up normally.
So my question is, how can I get cwm back? And should I use the old update.zip I've been using, or should I replace it with the new_cwm.zip?
Download ROM Manager from the market, install cwm through it. Then reboot into recovery (do a nandroid backup), Wipe data, install DL30 rom, reboot, go back into cwm, flash the new_cwm.
Ok .. I am not sure if this is the right area or not .. but I have been tring to install the DL30 onto my fascinate but it will go to a blue screen and when I choose update.zip it will tell me failed to
open /sdcard/update.zip no such file or directory?
Signature verification failed installation aborted .. any ideas how to make this work?
Thanks for you help in advance

Just tried, when I launched ROM Manager, it said Current was 2.5.0.4, Latest was 2.5.1.0. I clicked flash, it downloaded, and Current changed to 2.5.0.4. I clicked reboot into recovery, phone reboots, default recover comes up, starts to apply update.zip, and the signature fails.
Same here ... even when I use rom manager with the CWM it is still coming up with the signature error. It is only going to the blue screen not the green screen but it is also not allowing me to install the update either. Help!
Dunno why so many folks are having issues...but make sure you have root and dj05 or dl09. Download rom manager and new_cwm. Flash recovery while selecting your phone in rom manager. Then reboot in recovery from rom manager install new dl30 and then new_cwm. If you cant reboot from rom manager, do it manually and select update.zip to get to cwm
Ps...make sure you never had voodoo or it is niw disablef...one of the two.

That doesnt work to just do it through rom manager when your on dl09... your confusing people by telling them that. To get into cwr you have to flash it with odin, boot into stock recovery, do the update.zip, then boot into cwr. You cant let the phone boot into the os until you get to cwr and do all your flashing. Dl09 has something built in that makes it not work the way it used to. What you are saying is the original instructions for dl30, but have since been modified like i said... its somewhere in this forum,

Right, the problem is that I'm already running DL30, and I can't flash the clockwork recovery for dl09/dj05 via odin, it fails and my phone won't boot until I flash the stock recovery via odin. Anything I try through rom manager simply fails the signature verification.

I have the exact same problem as OP, I tried to flash DL30.zip and the new_cwm.zip. DL30.zip flashed like a charm, but for some reason after i flashed new_cwm.zip, I'm not able to get into cwm at all, it just sends me to stock recovery.
Heres the thing, whether your on dl09 or dl30 (which is still dl09) you cant let the phone reach the os between flashing cw and applying update.zip, and then booting into cwr. So the only way is to flash cw via odin, stock recovery update.zip, cwr. Another way would be to get back to dj05, this shouldnt have the built in recovery reset, and dl30 is compatible with it.

No... first of all you need the new cw that works with froyo if you plan on using it while on froyo, then you still have to follow the steps in my previous post because your still dl09. If you are on froyo why do you need cw right now?

Because after I flashed DL30 all my apps were still there, even though I strictly remember wiping my phone clean. Also I want to flash Blackhole 4.0.1 rom. I just want those apps gone because they seem to cause problems, apparently after wiping EVERYTHING is still there

You could just uninstall the apps through task manager... and then you need the new cwm to flash more roms, again follow the steps i previously posted to get to cwr

That's what I tried to do before I even started this thread, as I said in my original post. The DL09 cwm will not flash via oden. It fails. And then my phone just shows a computer/phone icon, and refuses to boot.
I have to flash the stock recovery via odin to get my phone working again.
And the reason I need cwm if i'm already running DL30, is twofold. I'd like to switch roms, AND I need to wipe my battery stats.

Have you tried getting to dl09 via odin before flashing the dl09 cw? And once you get to dl30 you need the new cw to do anymore flashing while on froyo. try flashing stock dl09 (not di01) then flash dl09 cw, then stock recovery update zip, then flash dl30, then flash new cw, then reboot. Do one after the other without booting into the os at all. Once your on froyo you still wont be able to just hold the buttons and get to cw i dont think... you may have to do it the hard way like i just explained.

Okay, so where to start...
I have a MT4G (of course) i love it dont get me wrongand wanted to mess around with it. i permarooted it via VISONary + and everything was working fine. i wanted to flash a different kernal and wanted to do a nandoird backup before i did anything else. but i needed clockwork to do this (correct me please if im wrong) so i downloaded rom manager flashed it. and went to boot into recovery and it does this icon with a phone and a "!" on the screen...it cant boot into recovery. and i dont know why, and now i just want to go back to my stock recovery but i cant cause i dont know how. ive tried terminal commands... and i tried to learn adb and fastboot but am very lost. basically i want a nandroid of my rooted stock ROM... any help would be much appreciated
The reason is because you need to turn s=off for any of those to work.

Read the guides.
1. The phone with the red triangle icon is from the stock Recovery program. Stock recovery does nothing except show you that screen, unless a special file is found on the SD card, used for a complete system restore. Your flash of ClockworkMod Recovery was unsuccessful.
2. When you do go get past the S=Off phase, and are ready to once again attempt to install CWM Recovery, be sure you install the CORRECT version. CWMR 3.0.0.5 is for Gingerbread (Android 2.3) based ROMs only! Don't install 3.0.0.5 expecting it to function properly for the Stock ROM, for Iced Glacier, or any other Froyo (Android 2.2) based ROMs. Those all require CWMR 2.x. A higher version number does not mean better. For example, if you are planning to install CM7, back up with CWMR 2.x, then flash CWMR 3.x before installing CM7.
(There is a special, unique to MT4G version of CWMR that handles both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs, called "3.0.0.6". You can find threads on it in the Development subforum.)
I have been trying to get clockwork to work forever on my Vibrant and I finally got it to work.I rooted my phone using super one click method then I installed 3e_recovery installer onto phone.I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork for Samsung Vibrant Galaxy S.Every time I would load onto stock recovery and reinstalled packages 2 times and it would never load into Clockwork recovery (I tried so many different things to get it to work for about a week).So today I used Rom Manager to install Clockwork again but this time I selected Galaxy S Captivate instead of the Galaxy S vibrant(which is the phone I own).I rebooted into recovery and reinstalled packages twice and it finally booted into Clockwork recovery.I just figured there must be other frustrated people having the same issue so I thought this might be helpful to somebody.

Is this reliable or was it just a fluke? I'm trying to get CWM on my new vibrant which has kb5 stock rom.
I used superoneclick to root and install busybox, but I have no clockworkmod.
In ROM manager, I select flash clockworkmod recovery. Select Vibrant. It says something like recovery downloaded. Then does nothing.
So I then select reboot into recovery which takes me to stock recovery. I select reinstall packages a few times and nothing happens except the signature failure each time, so then I end up rebooting from there.
Am I going wrong somewhere? I have searched around a bit but haven't got the solution yet. Thanks.
Wait, are you saying you selected the captivate option in rom manager on your VIBRANT?

The problem is, the 3e recovery in our 2.2 roms used different signing keys that haven't been cracked like 2e has. So, you need to replace the recovery file with a fixed one, or odin a voodoo kernel and be done.
Bit this is not the thread on where to discus that.

Hello. i am new to the android family
i have a nexus s GT-9020T
i have rooted my phone but without setting the clockworkmod reovery.
today i was playing with the rom manager and downloaded one of the rom from the list. after installation i was unable to start the phone only seeing the google logo with the unlock logo.
i went back into the recovery by typing flash recovery recovery.img etc.
run a restore and restart the phone but still not work
my nexus s is 2.3.4 by the way.
please assist
What "restore" did you run?
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062
And download the full rom:
Model: i9020T
Full Rom: GRJ22, KD1
That'll revert your Nexus S to the latest completely stock 2.3.4
Then you can flash recovery again and go back to clockwork mod and go flash another rom or whatever.
Remember when you're flashing a new rom you need to wipe data and cache and dalvik cache.
i run an restore from the backup that i made before installing the new rom using clockwork mod recovery, its part of the option when installing the rom using the rom manager * click box - backup * etc something like that

Next time don't use Rom Manager to make backups or flash roms. It's stupid and can get you issues like you're having.
Anyways, try wiping data and cache then restoring the backup, do it in Clockwork Recovery.
Let it boot, first boot always takes a while, 5-10 minutes. If you see the boot animation freeze, stop and restart, then yeah it's screwed up, otherwise, just let it is.
If still not working from your backup, do what I said in previous reply, just restore to stock 2.3.4 then re flash clockwork mod and start over with the rom you want to flash.
thank your nxt. i have found the real problem. it was not my backup problem or the rom that u provided. it was the version of my clockwork mod recovery. i was using an 2.x.x.x to restore the phone which is why it doesn't work. everything work fine now after i flashed with an 3.x.x.x and restore the phone. one question thou, where can i always find the newest clockwork mod recovery release ? thank you very much

Are you running custom ROM? If you are, it's already made to not revert back to stock recovery. If you leave it stock recovery you'll get notifications for firmware updates by Google, but remember that applying those to a rooted phone might screw things up too.
the blue one is stock recovery right?
