Since im not allowed to post this anywhere else here it is. I cant get rom manager to boot directly to the red recovery. Therefore I can no longer download roms and stuff thru rom manager . I see posts about deleting and renaming the update file in the clockwork folder on the sd card . Can anyone clarify this more ? BTW it boots to stock recovery and i have to choose update zip to get to red recovery when I try to load a rom with rom manager

Hi guys,
Well when I flashed my ROM I used the NOOB thread and installed this version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821468
Now I realize I should have updated to this version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=891657
I have the update.zip and the new Axura zip on my root directory but when I reboot in recovery and click "re-install packages" it does something ...maybe re-roots?...and just goes to the normal Axura boot screen and starts up current installed version. I do have ROM manager and Titanium installed.
Obviously I'm missing something silly. Also, is there any real reason to update a month old ROM or am I ok leaving them on there for a long time?
Thank you...you guys rock!
Get into the green recovery screen. If you first load up recovery and it's blue then hit reinstall packages. You may have to do this twice for it to go to the green clockwork recovery.
Next navigate to install .zip from SD. Navigate to the new Axura file and select it. Navigate down to "yes" and wait for it to complete.
One pre-caution:
If you named the Axura ROM as update.zip and try to go into CWR it might throw you back to the normal recovery (blue text), if you hit re-install packages it will try to do it via update.zip (your Axura), and you will end-up with the square one.
Go to your phone, rename the Axura download from update.zip to something different, i.e. axura_rom_latest.zip, copy recovery-update.zip from /sdcard/clockworkmod directory to /sdcard as update.zip, and go back into recovery and re-install packages, it will bring you to CWR with green text.

Nice catch and clarification.
Lordjish - Let us know how it goes.
I'm confused I have the new Axura ROM zip file on my phone but it's not named update.zip - the rooting zip is named that. The Axura ROM is named whatever the developer named it still.
1. Do I Need to change the name of the ROM then?
2, Should I remove the rooting "update.zip" I downloaded from the NOOB thread?
If so, should I just have the new ROM in there by itself?
Also my Root seems to be corrupted as Titanium cannot gain root rights anymore and Superuser Permissions won't run. This is surely my fault from my failed attempt and installing the new update.
I've re-named the clorkworkmod recovery zip to update.zip as you said, as well as renamed the new Axura ROM zip to "axura-update.zip" . I also moved the clockworkmod zip to the root directory on SD.
I haven't tried anything yet as I want to make sure this is what I'm suppose to do with a possibly broken "root" (superuser permissions aren't working for Titanium or ROM manager)
Also, strangely enough my computer wouldn't let me move filesthrough USB Mass storage mode that are already on the phone, but I could do it by using the phone itself to move the files.
Oh, and I deleted the NOOB thread rooting zip before moving the clockworkmod one and re-naming it the same.
Thanks again guys!
Reboot into stock recovery, reinstall packages, cwr should be available then (green txt). Install zip from sd, choose axura zip and you should be fine.

On the 16g internal memory you should now have two files - Update.zip and Axura.zip right?
If so boot into recovery and hit reinstall packages until you get to the green recovery. This sometimes takes two times.
Then navigate to install zip from SD and find Axura and let it do it's thing.
Thank you all for your help!
Updated new the newest Axura ROM and everything went without any problems.
This is addicting...
Have you heard of Gardner? I graduated high school there. Good to see a nice Kansas man in the forum. I pm you

LOL i was about to say i have a fascinate, but it would be redundant because I am posting in a Fascinate forum.
Hi guys, first post, thought I would post first about something not help related, but my phone is messed up.
I rooted my phone with 1 click root from android central, then i flashed it using odin and backed up my rom ( i guess stock touchwiz) with CWM from rom manager. Then i installed this theme: AOSP REVOLUTION a port on androidforums the adress is /fascinate-all-things-root/251094-theme-port-aosp-revolution.html ( after androidforums obviously, i cant post links!) ) -_-
I installed it by downloading the zip, renaming it to update, and launched CWM recovery and ran apply sd update.zip. Then i rebooted my phone the verizon logo flashed for a long time then the screen went black, and when i pressed the power buton all that happened is that the 4 buttons would light up.
Can anybody help me, sorry if i pissed you off because of my uber-noobness, but i just got the phone a month ago and rooted it yesterday. I made sure i followed the direction so my phone does mess up, but something went wrong after installing that theme. Thanks a FREAKING GAGILLION if you can help!
PS Another noob move but how do I run the backup that i made? sorry for my noobness if it offends u.
If you have ClockworkMod recovery installed, you just need to boot into it and restore your backup. Shut down the phone. Hold both volume up and down and then press power. When you see the Samsung logo, release power but keep holding the volume buttons. It'll boot into standard recovery. Select apply update.zip and it'll boot you into Clockwork. Should be easy to figure out how to restore from there.
If this doesn't work, then you don't have clockwork installed, or installed correctly. There should be a recent post on installing a new red clockwork. Follow that and then follow the instructions above except for applying update.zip. The new red clockwork boots directly, without going through the stock blue recovery first.
Alternately, there are various all-in-one Odin packages floating around here that will return you pretty much back to stock.
The problem you have here is that you flashed a theme that is made specifically for a the asop Rom. So the thing to do is download another Rom, place on root of sd card, boot into recovery (hold both volume keys and power until samsung logo flashes twice), wipe your data and cache, flash rom and reboot. I'm assuming you have updated to dl09 so you want a dl09 rom. here is a suggestion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894126, just download system rom part, ignore the odin stuff. hope this helps

This was also a mistake. On this device CWM depends on there being a cwm update.zip on the root of you sd card. To flash a rom/kernel/theme on this device you leave it alone and placed anywhere on the card. When booted in to cwm you use the "install zip from sdcard" option.
good day.
Yes LordShark,
As mentioned above, you do not rename the file at all. You can call it "umpty-Squat-Rom-Of-The_gods.zip or whatever you want, you boot into the CWM and as pointed out above, you will choose install zip from card and you will navigate to that umpty-squat that you downloaded to the phone.
So pull your SD card out and download a ROM and place it in the SD Card in a folder you like, I personally just use the default location od SD CARD / CLOCKWORKMOD / DOWNLOAD and store all my ROMs and stuff in that folder.
Hope this helps. Do not get too excited, your not ubber borked.... even if you are in a total panic you can follow the Adrynalyne ODIN back to bone stock DI01 post and in not to long you will up and running.

Thanks for the info!
Since im not allowed to post this anywhere else here it is. I cant get rom manager to boot directly to the red recovery. Therefore I can no longer download roms and stuff thru rom manager . I see posts about deleting and renaming the update file in the clockwork folder on the sd card . Can anyone clarify this more ?

You can still download through rom manager, but you have to manually boot into recovery and browse for the zip. They are on the sdcard in clockworkmod/download.
In the cloclworkmod folder, delete "recovery-update.zip", copy your red CWM update.zip into this folder and rename it to "recovery-update.zip"
Is this in the root of the clockwork folder ? because i see a file called recovery in there . I put it in there and it didnt work

1) Get a working clockwork mod .ZIP file.
2) Put that file in two places:
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip​
ROM Manager --> Reboot to Recovery Mode should load /sdcard/clockwork/recovery-update.zip
Phone Desktop --> Hold down power button --> Reboot to Recovery should load /sdcard/update.zip
If for whatever reason, you are not rebooting directly into Clockwork Mod Recovery (and booting into the stock Samsung recovery), just choose menu option: apply sdcard:update.zip. It will bring you into Clockwork Mod.
Note that if you are running a DL30 ROM, and recently flashed / updated Clockwork Mod Recovery through ROM Manager, then something screwed up. For whatever reason, ROM Manager downgraded Clockwork Mod Recovery from v2.5.1.0 --> v2.5.0.4. That version will not play nicely with DL30 ROMs. You will need to find a CWMR that works with DL30, and manually place it in the two locations specified above.
Got a interesting news, cant mount my sd card, dont know if the sd is broken but isnt working.
Where should i found it when i mount from clockwork recovery?
I figured out the sd issue moving big files from a folder to other while its mounted, no move taked time to complete,
everyone was instantly, like when you move in the same hard drive.
So any advice on how to get my sd working, to transfer the CM to it.
The phone hard drive mount itself on I:
On android to mount a sd is like in Linux? Its mounted in a system folder?
Need help.
I tryed to install the CM Mod, first time, got the lastest file from 31/08, rename it on update.zip
Got root on my phone, using odin and replacing kernel.
Now it dont go after the first screen (Samsumg Galaxy S ii GT-I9100 yellow triangle with black ! on center.
I tried lots, i mean, lots of re instaling the .zip but it still dont pass that screen.
Right now only things i can do in phone is power+volume up+home button and go to ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.2
or power+volume down+home and go to download screen.
Trying to install several times de CM Mod i got lots of lines (like 20+) them Error (code 7) install aborted.
Right now I need anything that make my phone back, any rom, custom android any version.
I explored the backup and restore menu and i got a restore point, it give me the restore complete, but still locked on that screen.
Please .zip file that ill make my cell back.
I checked de checksum and the CM file is ok
What kernel did you flash? You need to be sure the kernel you flash is for gs2.

You probably flashed a bad rom. Simply wipe data from clockworkmod and install a zipped rom from there.
news on post

YES ,is called "external_sd" .As for your problem i suggest downloading a stock ROM+original kernell on your PC (KH3 as an example) .Enter downloading mode and flash it thru Odin than use an insecure kernell to root and have CWM back on your device to be able to flash the next ROM from your internal sd (internal memory) and continue experiencing
By the way ,the flashable zipes must be on internal memory for CWM to see tham

Hi Everyone,
I am trying to recover my HD2 after it being corrupted or something but it wouldn't boot anything or recover or work with USB. Got it to play nice again after a few hundred reboots and reflashing HSPL.
I am trying to install a ROM with MAGLDR but cannot get it to play ball. I understand that lots of the ROM packs are intended to be loaded with clockwork mod recovery but when I try this, the packages don't have the required daf or .data files.
Any help?
Cheers

I don't think you understand how to use clockwork mod (well at least not how to flash things via clockwork mod). You should flash clockwork mod then copy the rom (which will come in a zipped folder) to the root of your SD card. You should then follow this guide in order to install the ROM.
The ROM should never be taken out of the zipped folder, and it isn't flashed via an .exe program (that's one of the best things about clockwork mod, everything can be done away from your PC if you want, you can just download the update straight to your phone and use a file explorer to move it from the download folder to the root of your SD card).
Thanks for the feedback. I understand that clockwork mod is great because you can just drop the file sin and boot but the issue is that the downloads that I've made don't work. I cleaned my sd card before putting Hyperdroid CM7 on it and it was the only thing on the card. I went into recovery in the boot menu and then
it comes up with the usual "123456 GOGOGO" and then just hangs on the screen. After looking around, i found mention of the .data folder being required to execute it but it isn't in any of the downloaded roms i have.

So it hangs whilst trying to enter clockwork mod (at the 'GO GO GO' screen)?
That's right. Then it just sits there until i take the battery out. I left it on charge for 5 hours yesterday and it didn't budge. When loading the ROMs it seems to all work fine and everything is up to date. It just won't boot into it.
