i have two recovery ; clockworkMod and (2e) - Galaxy S I9000 General

when i enter the recovery mode
i got into Android system recovery (2e)
then i choose apply sdcard:update.zip
then it forward me to ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5..
then i choose apply sdcard:update.zip again..
then it rebooted and back to system recovery (2e) again
what should i do to fix this ? i want to update my ROM

If your custom ROM can be flashed via cwm, go save it in your internal sd then use the install zip in sd card option in cwm.
I suggest you do a full nandroid back-up first just to be on the safe side...

thanks for reply..
i think i can't use cwm anymore to flash.. since it keeps looping between this two recovery mode.. i just flash it using odin, now i'm runnning original firmware 2.1
but i still see those two recovery mode.. how to remove one of them ?

When you get into Clockwork, don't press the "apply update.zip".
Select "install zip from sdcard" and locate your roms .zip and install it.

Read the instructions again and again until you understand it. It's obvious that you have no idea what you are doing.

If I understand your post correctly, you are having trouble getting into CWM after installing it. I had the same thing on my phone.
When going into recovery, you hold down the power button, the home button and the volume up button and release the home button when the Samsung screen appears. I tried releasing the power button when the Samsung screen appears and it goes into CWM recovery.

Mine did that after a bad flash, I was getting FC's, and the setuo wiz as well. Have you done any ROM flashing lately?

I flashed the system.tar and kernel.tar to my phone to put it back to stock from the link above.... How did you end up fixing your problem?
Thanks ,

You may have to do a mbr restoration as well. You can find adryanlyne's post for that. with the lagfix repair.
This happened to me aswell. This is how to fix it.
If your internal memory is set to 0.00 thats exactly what the issue is.
Download Voodoo Uninstaller to sdcard
To use the uninstaller, DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!
1. Boot clockwork, and apply the uninstaller.
*You can do this by holding the volume up and down button when turning on phone you will then be in the stock recovery screen.
*Execute the Update.zip and then you will be in CW recovery
* then find the uninstaller file (above) that you downloaded to your sdcard
2. Go to the advanced menu and choose reboot recovery.
3. Wipe data from the stock recovery screen. Apply the update.zip to enter CWM. Wipe data from CW recovery.
4. Reboot phone.
Phone buttons differ in recoveries.
IN Stock Recovery
* use the home button to execute an action.
IN CWM Recovery
* use the power button to apply an action.
The volume up and down changes selection for both recoveries

To fix mine, I applied the Update.zip from the previous ROM I was using. Always a good idea to keep one just in case.

Trouble loading roms...

Okay I have been using theunlockr's site in conjunction with xda and droidforums to learn about rooting and such over the last month. I have been rooted for a week or so now and have been enjoying wireless tether and setcpu, but thats about it. I want to do more, ie a custom rom. So I got DL09 Super Clean 's .zip on my sd card, and went into Rom Manager and Flashed Clockworkmod Recovery, then reboot into recovery. I keep getting stone walled here. It says;
failed to verify whole file signature
signature verification failed
installation aborted
then at the top I have the options to;
reboot system now
apply sd card update.zip
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition
I tried a factory reset then re installed Rom Manager, seeing as super user was still in my app draw I didn't re root. What am I doing wrong? I know you guys hate people like myself but I'm at a loss.
CWM isn't fully installed. See what step you might have missed.

good day.
another quick question. When selecting update.zip from recovery the screen goes blank and the soft keys light up, how long should I have to wait for something to happen?
If you are in CWM recovery (green text).
Back or power = select (home will black screen but tap home again to turn back on)
Search = Back
To flash a rom/kernel/or theme you will use the "install zip from sdcard' option in CWM.
In stock recovery (blue text)
Home = select.
good day.
Your the man! Thanks!

[Q] new rom

How exactly do you install a new rom, such as this one, NFX-Shift STOCK 1.17.651.1 PNG optimized/zipaligned deodexed? I followed the steps to set-up recovery and created a nandroid back-up, but how can I check to see if it worked. Just still a bit nervous about crashing or ruining my shift.
Boot into recovery by turning your phone off, then powering back on while holding the vol down button.
When you see the bootloader select Recovery.
Choose factory reset/data wipe.
When it finishes select install zip from SD and navigate to the ROM you wish to install (DO NOT select install update.zip)
When it finishes doing its thing choose Reboot to system.
If there are any problems boot back to recovery and restore your backup.
this is how to install a new rom correct? Thanks
yep, have fun
You need to read more and gain more confidence in what your doing

Weird issue with NS4G

Hey there, i did the oem unlock and flashed clockwork recovery and super user. Everytime i reboot my phone the clockwork recovery is just gone., Im coming from an evo so im used to holding the volume down button down at boot with the power button..can i do that to get into clockwork on my Nexus S?
Thanks, alright now how do i boot into recovery without using rom manager? like on my evo i would hold volume button down and hold the power button.... doesnt seem to work on the NS4G
hold volume up while powering up. will take you to bootloader screen, then select recovery option.
Okay after installing clockwork recovery using rom manager when i go to the recovery in fast boot and select it i get the little triangle with ! in the middle of it and a little android\
Edit: It seems like each time i flash it, i can only go to it once, the next time I go to it i get the triangle with the ! in it.
this happened to me too. take out the battery to power off, then power back on and boot, then reflash clockwork via rom manager, make sure you go to all clockworkmod recoveries, make sure you flash version 3.1.0.0...then launch bootloader again.
took me flashing recovery via rom manager 2 or 3 times for it to stick.

Ive done it around 10 times now and its not sticking
Edit: Still nothing, im not sure why it isnt working...
question: did you try backing up via rom manager right after you flashed recovery via rom manager?

No i didnt. Every time i reboot it just disappears D:
also, did you try booting into recovery from the rom manager app after flashing? i was able to boot into recovery via app and fastboot.
update: i'm now getting the exclamation mark while trying to get to recovery. when i reflashed it one more time, i'm able to boot into via app and fastboot again. there's obviously something wrong with cwm recover as its not sticking all the time.
I have it working now.
Using this
BE SURE TO FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD FROM ROM MANAGER AND DO THIS IMMEDIATELY AFTER WITHOUT REBOOTING
At this point you have root, but your phone will continue to replace ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To prevent this, do the following:
1) Reboot your phone, and download the app "Root Explorer" from the Market
2) Open Root Explorer and navigate to the "etc" directory.
3) Tap on the gray box that says "Mount R/W"
4) Tap and hold on the file "install-recovery.sh" and rename this file to "install-recovery.sh.old"
5) Download the app "ROM Manager"
6) Open ROM Manager and choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". At this point you are all set .
I was just going to post that for you xD
Glad to see it working!
cool, glad you found it. idk why my recovery was sticking most of the time w/o that hack

[Q] Problems with going into ClockworkMod Recovery mode

I have rooted my HTC Wildfire and now i need to get CyanogenMod 7 on it ...
i have downloaded Rom manager i flashed ClockworkMod Recovery mode into the phone...
But when i enter Recovery mode its just the regular Recovery screen that comes up...
I have tryied this 3 times and it still wont work (also after resetting the whole phone)
How do i get ClockworkMod Recovery mode on my phone then ?
EDIT :
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?
Flashing from rom manager will not give a permanent recovery for wildfire (when there is no custom recovery at first). But such kind of process is there for other phones.
Sent from my Blade using XDA App
So how to get cm7 based recovery . Cm7 needs CWM 3.x or higher recovery. The answer depends on whether u have used unrevoked or alpharev (=revolutionary) to root ur phone.
If u used unrevoked, u must be having some recovery. Here u can use rom manager to flash 3.x recovery and reboot to recovery from within rom manager to temporarily get 3.x + recovery which can flash cm7. Or u can download a 3.x + recovery.img file and use unrevoked again to flash that recovery. Here u should select the custom recovery option in unrevoked and point to ur downloaded file.
And if u have used revolutionary, there will be an option during the revolutionary process where to install custom recovery or not. U can choose to install. Or once u have s-off, fastboot flashing will be enabled. So u can flash a recovery from fastboot with the help of a PC. This is more preferrable. There are also other options. If u search the dev forums u will see posts explaining to install recovery through "pc49img" method. Also "flash_image" method. Both these wont need a pc unlike all the above methods.

Problem solved but a new one is here
I installed CM7 via ROM MANEGER and now i need to install Google Apps.
But when i go into Revolutionary CMW (Revovery mode) and try to Select "apply update from sdcard" all the text just disapers and nothing new is comming up...
What do i do ?
Choose 'Install Zip from SDCard', not 'Apply update from SDCard'
I have tryied all of them....
inclusive "power down" and not even that works its only removing the text and nothing new comes up
Use the trackball for selecting stuff in Clockworkmod. Not the Power button.
WOW FAIL BY ME !!!
Sry guys im still noob at rooting
Thank you for the help.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
