[Q] red cwm and rom manager - Fascinate General

Does anyone know if there is a way to force rom manager to bypass its check for cwm. I have red cwm installed, and don't wanna flash green cwm, I just want to use rom manager to pull down themes and such, and extract or manually flash what ( want, but it wont let me past the flash cwm or cancel pop-up....

Well, I still use green cwm, so Im not sure, but if Rom manager still lets you download stuff...
you can still manually install things you download in Rom manager.
They get stored in /sdcard/clockworkmod/download -
So you can download them, cancel the cwm install, then boot into recovery and install manually.

That's just it, it wont let me use it, unless I relent to let it install, green cwm. I'm on super clean dL09 with adrynalyne's 1230 voodoo kernel, which, if I understand is what red cwm was built for, voodoo I mean...

When you reboot into green CWM from Rom Manager, go to Advanced, and select Reboot to recovery, and it will reboot the phone into the red CWM. Either that, or you can power off the phone and old Power + Volume Up + Volume Down to get into red CWM, or use ADB or Terminal Emulator to enter the "reboot recovery" command, which will also have the same effect. Once in red CWM, just choose to install from zip file, and browse to the download folder that Bawb3 pointed you to to find the ROM zips to install.

If you haven't flashed CWM with Odin as well as ROM Manager then it won't actually install... Flashing with ROM Manager only puts the update.zip on your SD card, and flashing with Odin actually puts the recovery kernel on the phone.

Okay, gotcha.....thats what I needed to know.....
Thanks guys, much appreciated....
I odined the red cwm package that adrynalyne posted to go along with the voodoo 1230 kernel. I just wanted to make sure I didn't blast it out of the phone with rom manager. I can get to the red recovery just fine, as y'all mentioned with volume up/down and power, so.....three finger salute....
I'm coming from a Moto Cliq XT , which seemed a bit simpler to pop into recovery and flash stuff using an amon RA recovery than this one.... still learning the ropes..
Thanks again...

How to get to stock recovery menu if I have CLOCKWORK Recovery installed

how can I put my phone in stock recovery mode? I tried holding both volume keys down and power, it just powercycles. Even if let go on the second screen off. if I continue on holding - it just powercycles. If i hold vol down and power - it goes into download mode...
I have Clockwork installed. If I start recovery from ROM Manager it bypasses stock recovery straight to Cloclwork menu. I am trying to install battery percentage indicator, which I can only do thru stock recovery menu. How can I start stock rec mode?...
Also it says DO NOT INSTALL this lag fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765820 using ROM MANAGER. So how can I install it then??
in clockwork recovery theres an option to boot into regular recovery. i believe its in advanced settings?
adb is your friend. seriously, how have people on this forum not figured this out yet? (I don't actually even know how to reboot into recovery with just the buttons off the top of my head)
either "adb reboot recovery" or download "Terminal Emulator" from the marketplace type "su" and then "reboot recovery"

delete "update.zip" on internal sdcard. make sure to reinstall clockwork recovery again using rom manager after u r done.
make sure whatever ur installing is rename to update.zip for stock recovery to work.

unzip it. connect ur phone with usb debugging. click lagfixme wait for it to prompt for superuser then it will do the rest for you

Should I delete it from my internal after I have the battery indicator installed, should I get rid of that update.zip? I did a backup using ROM Manager before adding the battery indicator. So I have my former ROM and Current ROM backed up.
OMG, I've been going crazy trying to get my phone into boot screen all night. Thanks for this!

yea delete update.zip(battery indicator). open rom manager to install your clockwork recovery which will automatically put an update.zip(clockwork recovery) back on ur sd card. thus "update.zip" is just a rename for whatever program/file.
Also there is an app called quick boot in the market. Its free and will take you to stock reboot and recovery without going through the whole hold power
And vol up and down at same time. Is super easy to use. It have icon on my phone next to rom manager so one will be clockwork recov, and the othe stock.

I have a kernel that replaces stock recovery with clockworkmod. I'm trying to work out whether I can actually distribute such a thing, and also how to incorporate downloading it into my kernel build script so that I don't need to include it with the sources.

I'm pretty sure Koush said he wanted this from the start. The reason he changed the way clockwork recovery works for our phones was because recovery and the system are handled by the same part of system code, unlike with other phones.
He wanted to make it available to be incorporated into other kernels/ROMs instead of relying specifically on his kernel (which is why the roundabout happened from earlier where he offered the stock kernel to revert to)
It doesn't use a custom kernel, it's started from an update.zip normally.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Does our recovery system work the way it does because of lack of fastboot?
Another idea. is there something we can add to build.prop or perhaps init.rc so a command such as adb reboot clockwork would work? Just spitballing here.

Unless I'm mistaken, his original method did require a custom kernel or modified the stock kernel which is why he offered the stock kernel for people to reflash when he provided the final release.

Clockwork Mod recovery mode ??????

I am having a problem accessing clockwork mod recovery mode, no matter what process i try it consistently takes me to android recovery instead.
info:
samsung fascinate
rooted
Did odin flash back to stock
Did factory reset back to stock
Did software ota update to the following specs:
HV i500.04
M# sc i500
Firmware 2.1 update 1
Baseband S: 1500.04VD101
Kernel 2.6.29
Build SCH i500 DH101
Installed CWm Recovery from market
Installed Asto file manager from market
Installed Titanium backup from market
Opened CWM application
Went through root permissions dialogue
Flashed CWM recovery to 2.5.1.0
Next i clicked on BACK UP ROM which reboots me into Android Recovery Mode and gives me the standard 4 options for the fascinate:, plus it says installation was aborted:
1.After failing to find update package
2. open update package
3. verify update package
At this point i click on the home button and reboot system now.
Next i try flashing a different CWM Recovery version to 2.5.1.1 , 2.5.1.3 , 2.5.1.4 , all resulting in and error message, so i am still using 2.5.1.0
Next i try toclick on manage and restore backups but there are no backups listed even thouigh i did back up Rom earlier.
next i try to install the Geeknik ROM( Stupidfast v1.23(D101) from the Download ROM section.
I click OK to dialogue box that ask do i want to Down Load Rom
The Stupidfast ROM download starts and finishes
Notification bar says download is complete so i click on notification bar and this takes me to dialogue box which asks do i want to back up existing rom and wipe data and cache . i say yes to both and click OK.
Next dialogue box asks do i want tot reboot. i click Ok
i am then taken back to Android System recovery.
No matter what i do in Clockwork Recovery i always end up back at Anroid System Recovery. i have tried all different scenarios -debugging checked.debugging unchecked,clear cache, dont clear cache, back up rom,dont back up rom, usb connected, usb unconnected, Titanium in,titanium out. watched all different you tube videos on subject.
sorry this was so long. i didnt want to miss any answers to any question any of you might have if at this point you want to offer any help. thanks in advance.
You have to flash CWM with Odin before you can use it. Can't just install from the market or ROM Manager
Kevin, Thanks for your response to my question.
i thought i already flashed CWMRecovery from within ROM Manager. it is the first option at the top of CWMRecovery, also it states under that first choice that my latest recovery id Clockwork Mod 2.5.1.0.
If i scroll down to the bottom of CWMRecovery the last choice shows all of the CWM Recoveries. Recovery 2.5.1.0 is listed at the bottom and is the only one i can flash/install.
In both instances it says that i have flashed this version(2.5.1.0) of CWM Recovery.
I will try whhat you are suggesting and thanks again for the help, it is appreciated
Kevin , I followed your instructions and flashed the CWMrecovery.tar file with Odin3_1.3 and everything is as it should be. The funny thing is (at least to me) that the CWMrecovery version that is listed when i am in recovery mode now is CWM version 2.5.1.0, which is the same version that i flashed within rom manager. Kind of confusing but at least i am where i want to be. Thanks again for the help.
Yeah, it's just one of the quirks with the Fascinate. Unlike most devices, just flashing Clockwork with ROM Manager only puts the update.zip on your SD card. Using Odin to flash the .tar file installs the recovery, so both parts are needed.
where i need to put CWMrecovery.tar in ODIN in which section PDA/PHONE/CSC? 1nx
You only flash things in PDA section, doing otherwise will screw up your phone

Im kinda new to all this stuff and just wanted to get some step by step stuff if you dont mind. I rooted my Fascinate tried clockwork mod wouldnt work when i tried to backup after downloading the recovery thing and when i read this you guys said something about Odin so I went to appbrain and downloaded tuxility but now im lost on what to do. Maybe something step-by-step would be good. Really appreciate it! (ps: I know im kinda slow but if you wouldnt mind...)
The stock recovery does not allow us to run unsigned zips. Thus, we must flash the CWMrecovery.tar to patch recovery to allow us to run these unsigned zips. Then you can flash CWM from within Rom Manager.
Follow these instructions from fallingup's thread:

THANKS
Thanks ALOT this looks really simple the only thing that idk about is how it said to put it in download mode. Idk what that means. Debugging? and do I mount it? Thats all i think. THANKS agian.
Download mode: power off, pull out battery, with Odin open and USB connected to PC hold volume down and plug in USB.

[HOW-TO] New Clockwork Manager

[RED-CWM] (not orange)
Alright sick of scanning 3 different threads trying to help people with the new Clockwork manager I decided to write up this guide. This was tested from stock, I flashed back to stock to test both these methods, and they should work for everyone.
Stock versions tested: DI01 (stock), DJ05 (stock), odin method works flawlessly on these versions. cwm was not replaced by sammy kernel.
Stock DL09 will remove cwm on reboot, install a different kernel adryn's should work, pick your poison here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915709 flashed cwm via odin. install kernel, then rebooted, if you get stock recovery flash via odin one more time.
Nonvoodoo EB01 currently some people report it will boot to blue recovery after installing new roms. nonoodoo users should leave, http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip on the root of there sdcard that way after a new install of a rom you can get back to cwm. after applying udate.zip, install cwm-recovery-ALL.zip. (Thanks Landshark68)
To get to stock use adrynalyne's DI01 package get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867648 flash via odin.
First I would like to thank jt1134 for fixing up the new cwm get your perferred version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
Odin method (preferred method stock users do this one!)
1. Alright let’s do this, head over to jt’s original post and download the cwm-recovery-ALL odin:
2. Plug phone into PC and turn off phone
3. Pull battery in phone and then press the down volume button
4. Open odin on PC and press PDA load cwm-recovery-ALL.tar, DON’T MESS WITH ANY OTHER SETTING! Then hit the start button.
5. Boot into recovery (cwm) do this by holding both volume keys plus the power button till you see Samsung screen, you can let go then.
6. Congrats your done now install your custom roms, kernels, radios, and other various things!
Clockwork manager method (only if you have cwm installed already)
1. Copy new cwm-recovery-ALL.zip to root of SD card. (do not need to rename!)
2. Boot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from sdcard
4. Choose cwm-recovery-ALL.zip
5. Reboot your phone and delete update.zip from root of SD card, and recovery-update.zip from clockworkmod folder.
The cwm should be red, and should say voodoo no matter if you have a voodoo kernel or not.
Rom manager will not boot your phone to recovery, install a new shutdown menu that includes boot to recovery or do a manual boot to recovery.
The new clockwork manager installs to the boot partition of the phone that's why you no longer need the update.zip file. Do not flash the cwm from Rom manager, it’s not needed folks, and will put your phone into an endless boot. The cwm jt gave us is customized for our phones.
Post your questions here I will be happy to answer them.
Below I attacked the clockwork manager files, plus odin3 v1.3 but visit jt's OP and give him a thanks, I'm just the translator, hes got plenty of other crap to do rather than test this out.
I am not responsible for any bricked, broken, or abducted phones.
Tried it, works fine. Took a bit on that first boot into recovery after the install was run (already had cwm installed), you know that held breathe of "did it work"!

Seriously thinking of deleting ROM Manager altogether. I did dl Adryn's revised ROM Mgr but may switch to doing everything through cwm.
I think the slight delay after the double samsung flash is the program working through blue in the background so it jumps right to red afterward.
Adryn's kernel isn't working for me. But that's what searching is for.
I also owe you a huge thanks for all your help earlier.

no prob thats what we're here for.
any custom kernel built for dj09 will work. only use a kernel for your raidio/rom version ie: dI01, dj05, dj09, dl30, ebo1 etc...
Hey Takafiji,
I posted a similar thread over at Android Central about the same time as yours here at xda. I discovered this ability to boot directly to red cwm, and I put together the how-to thread and everything was great until I booted to recovery one time and saw stock blue (2e) recovery. I played around with different options, but couldn't completely get rid of blue recovery. I decided to do some research in jt1134's thread and saw the link to yours and read everything here. I have tried every method in your thread and jt1134's thread and I keep running into the same problem. I can install the new cwm just fine and I can keep booting directly into red cwm just fine until.........I flash a new ROM. I can flash themes, patches, add-ons no problem, still able to boot to red cwm. As soon as I flash a new ROM, I boot to stock blue recovery. The only ROM I have been flashing is Adrynalyne's superclean 2.4. I read in jt1134's post that flashing a stock kernel will revert you back to stock blue recovery. The kernel in Adrynalyne's sc 2.4 is the farthest from stock we can currently get in nonvoodoo EB01. My guess is we will not be able to boot directly to the new red cwm on nonvoodoo until the devs get their hands on the source code and we get some custom nonvoodoo kernels. Any thoughts? Thanks

ummm not sure here, you could try a voodoo kernel, they work wonderfully. how are you rebooting to recovery? rom manager doesn't work all too well in that area, try using the power menu and reboot to recovery that way. i will do some more testing but ive been jumping around on different eb01 roms just fine. Is it all roms or just superclean ones?

I got rid of Rom Manager as soon as we got the long press power button menu with recovery in it. The only ways I boot to recovery are long press power and holding volume down, volume up, and power buttons.
ummm have you tried applying a older cwm after booting to blue recovery? maybe if you booted to that then installed jt's new cwm you'd be set. just a thought. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2056318/update.zip should work, if it comes up unsigned we will have to explore different options. I'm trying to figure out why its going blue with a non-stock kernel, the new cwm installs to the boot partition.

Already tried that if the old cwm you are linking me to is the new red cwm for froyo we had before the current one. Loaded that cwm via ODIN, had new red on base of sd card, installed via old red cwm, no luck, went back to blue as soon as i flashed sc 2.4. The only thing I'm thinking is I don't think the kernel in sc 2.4 is truly a custom kernel. I believe I read the kernel in 2.4 is still the stock kernel, just slightly modified by Adrynalyne. Thanks.

have you tried flashing stock di01, then jumping to a stock eb01, maybe that would work. not sure but i know the dl09 recovery overwites cwm. maybe you just got parts of it still stuck there...
Sorry wish i was a c programmer i'd jump on board and start helping create a custom kernel.

No problem. I'm just going to keep going through blue recovery to get to red cwm until we get some custom nonvoodoo kernels. I updated my OP to advise everyone there on nonvoodoo to put update.zip back on the root of their sd card and do the same for now. Thanks again for the brainstorming and ideas.
EDIT- Also to let you know, yes I already tried flashing back to DI01 then to EB01. We are definitely thinking along the same lines.
Well now I'm totally gorked up. I followed Zacisblack's method with your addition of doing the ODIN install first. Now when I get blue recovery and hit apply sdcard:update.zip I go to green cwm. Trying to figure out a solution to that now.
EDIT - fixed that problem. Fortunately I still had a copy of the cwm_froyo.tar
I also have the same issue when flashing a new rom. It always goes to blue recovery.What I have to do every time is in blue cwm go to apply sdcard/update.zip which gets me in green cwm. Then I go to choose zip and scroll down to clockwork and choose cwm-recovery-all and flash it again then scroll down to update.zip and flash it then i go to applysdcard/update.zip and flash that then i reboot. Then next time i boot into recovery it always goes straight to red cwm. Sounds like a pain (and sometimes it is) but in reality it only takes like 5 minutes. I wish i didn't have to do that every time i flash a new rom but thats just part of my routine now as its what works for me.
I might not have to do all of those to get back to red but thats the way i originally got red cwm on my phone from a great write up on jt's thread (sorry but don't remember who did the write up). Maybe I'll experiment with just flashing one of those zip's next time i flash a rom to see if there's a faster way.
But I would really like it if there was a way to just always go to red cwm with a new rom instead of going thru all that.
Fantastic tutorial! Just what I was looking for! Thanks a million!!
Thanks Takafiji! I had just installed the Superclean v2.6 non voodoo and got the stock blue (2e) recovery as well. I tried to apply the update.zip and it took me to orange. I read your original post and it worked wonderfully!
Takafiji Quote from OP:
"Nonvoodoo EB01 currently some people report it will boot to blue recovery after installing new roms. nonoodoo users should leave, <drop box link to update.zip> on the root of there sdcard that way after a new install of a rom you can get back to cwm. after applying udate.zip, install cwm-recovery-ALL.zip. (Thanks Landshark68)"
...now, if I could just figure out why Google Voice can't seem to find my contacts, i.e. voice command "Call Mark Davis", nothing found and defaults to looking on the web.
My phone won't even update the app. When I try it d/l's, starts then aborts saying it isn't properly signed. Guess I'll stay with Adrynalyne's modified one for now.
I used ODIN to flash the new-CWM, but it always seems to boot into blue recovery. Using update.zip gets me into green, which seems to work fine for flashing roms. I've occasionally seen red recovery, but when using update.zip takes me right back to green.
Am I doing anything wrong here?
Thanks for the write-up I flashed recovery with ODIN
In read recovery and working great
again THANKS for the writeup

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.

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

How do i get ClockworkMod Recovery mode on my phone then ?

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.

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.

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!
