[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"!

just be sure not to flash cwm from rom manager application, or you'll be holding your breath till you black out

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

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

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.

How do you feel abt voodoo?? You can install one of Supercurios kernels with voodoo and it will give you CWM recovery and root

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.

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.

I need an update.zip for CWM that will work with EA28, the one I have wont work and i`ve tried a few others but none of them will work.
Thanks
Have you tried this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=942021
yes i did and no it didnt.
Since EA28 is basically the same as DL09, there is a slightly different procedure to get CWM running. First, flash the CWM tar with Odin found in this thread. Then, before letting the phone boot up you need to enter recovery. If you let the phone boot completely the stock kernel will overwrite CWM. So once in recovery, apply update.zip and flash a new kernel. There are many to choose from, as long as it isn't one of the stock ones (and matches your build, meaning any DL09 kernel should work).
After that's done you can boot like normal, and should have a working cwm
Clockwork mod blue keeps coming up on my phone since I have flashed 2.6. I used Odin to put the new clockwork mod but its still comes up to the blue CWM. Any ideas on how to fix this?
That's the default android recovery. Do you have an update.zip on your sd card? If so, hitting apply update.zip will take you to red recovery.
If its blue that sound more like the stock recovery. what are the options displayed on it?

I have the update zip and when I try to apply it the screen goes blank for a couple seconds and then goes back to blue recovery. There are only 4 options that I can remember
Same thing happened to me a couple days ago..you're going to need to reflash cwm through odin.
i reflashed through ODIN, and got it working, but it resets to blue after one use??
edit: reflash in odin looks to be best bet
Are you sure you got jt's latest cwm in this thread?
And how/which method did you use to get into recovery?

You seem to be using a stock kernel. Stock kernel has a check to see if recovery has been modified. If it finds that recovery was modified, it reflashes stock recovery on next boot.
So solution to that would be. Use a non stock kernel.
I've rooted my phone, and followed these instructions here http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-samsung-continuum/ to put CWM on and these instructions here http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-dl17-clean-rooted-android-2-1-rom-on-samsung-continuum/ to flash the ROM on. I also added tried adding these test kernels http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926555 as well.
None of this seems to have stuck. When I reboot the phone after clearing all data and caches in CWM and installing the ROM, it boots up to the standard Samsung Continuum interface. When I go into recovery mode again, it goes back to the standard Android recovery mode instead of CWM. I have also tried CWM manager, but it does not work because the Continuum is not on its list of phones to install the recovery, and because the recovery I manually install does not stick, i can't use the interface to install the rom.
Please, can someone point me in the right direction with what I did wrong/why the ROM does not seem to be working?
Thanks!
May i ask what you mean by, "standard Samsung Continuum interface"? Once you flash a rom, it is definitely going to "stick"... You know that this is just a cleaned up rom, right? no theming or anything? so it is going to look the same (excluding the launcher)...
One thing i can think of is to ake sure that in Mount in CWM that System is mounted, just to make sure..
Also, by following those posts, you SHOULD go to the original recovery screen... Then you need to press "apply:update.zip" or whatever to get into CWM.. if that doesn't work, then do this:
use ODIN to flash the recovery and kernel, and as soon as it is done, hold in the recovery button combination (power, vol up/down)... Sometimes thats the only way to get into it for some people...
Yeah, I just meant cleaned up. When I reboot, my phone still has touchwiz interface, Bing and bloatware. I do use the update.zip to get the CWM recovery screen, which works fine, but when I try to get into the recovery screen again, i have to reload the update file, and when I try to use Rom Manager is says that CWM is not installed.
In CWM, after loading the update file, it says that the three zip files are installed, but when I exit the recovery screen via reboot, the files that were supposedly installed do not take effect.
is "Mount" an option somewhere in the CWM commands?
Yea clockwork recovery won't stick. It's not supposed to. whenever you go into recovery mode you will have to load the update.zip every time. But I have the clean ROM flashed and the peanutbutta jelly time kernel and it's working just like it's supposed to. I think imnuts is working on getting the recovery to stay

i just tried flashing the peanutbutta jelly time kernal and clean DL17 and the two updates, but the phone freaked out after the samsung logo on reboot, scrambling the screen and looking frozen. I pulled the battery and reinstalled adrynalyne's test kernals and but now it is just booting to the regular factory OS.
oh and the system is mounted
After you flash the kernel the boot screen should mess up. It's fine after it boots though

Ok so waited for the phone to boot, but still booting to stock Samsung OS/interface. My flashing in CWM was as follows:
Delete data
Clear cache
Clear davlik
flash peanutbutta
flash DL17
flash email update
flash social app update
reboot
samsung logo, screen messed up but still hearing booting sounds, then finally loads into the stock samsung interface.
What am I doing wrong?
The stock samsung interface WILL remain, aka touch wiz. There will be a couple verizon apps that will remain with this rom. Also what version of cwmr are you using?
oh ok, that would be where the confusion lays. It was my understanding that it was detouchwizzed as well. Does debinging remove bing as the default and only search engine in the browser? is there a mod/ROM that de touchwizzes the continuum?
Also, I feel like this is a stupid question, but if i have this ROM on here, that means I won't be able to get OTA updates, correct?
Correct....
