I couldn't find the answer in any other thread but my ROM Manager shows that 2.5.0.1 is the latest CW Mod recovery available. I know 2.5.0.5 is out but I am wondering why ROM Manager won't see it. Does anyone else have this issue?
Because there is no fake flash version of 2.5.0.5.

From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, koush would take the flash recovery image and create a 'fake flash' update.zip and flash the recovery that way. An update.zip for 2.5.0.5 has not been made yet. Since we have S-OFF now we can reflash recovery without having to do the fake flash method. I believe koush just has to update his ROM Manager to do so.

I know it says .1 but if you ran the .5 try looking at what it says when you do a nandroid backup. It should say .5. Mine does.
Ok I understand a little better now. Thanks

one side note if you boot into recovery from ROM manager it will show .1, but if you Boot into recovery using the power and vol down button it shows up as the new .5

Interesting. Well I haven't ran .5 yet I was just wondering why it wasn't showing up in ROM Manager. Thanks for the answers guys!
Another question, not entirely related to ROM Manager, I have is that I've noticed when I do a nandroid backup within CWMod the date and time are wrong. When I do a backup via ROM Manager, it shows the correct date and time. Is there a way to set CWMod's clock?
Ok guys, not sure if this should be in General or in here...
I am very new to Android but I'm loving it so far. I have my Epic rooted and I have the clockworkmod installed. I have download Tha Boss Rom V.02 to try out as my first ROM.
I just a few questions?
I have the ROM on my sd card and I renamed to update.zip(not sure if I needed to do that)... I then open up clockwork and hit update ROM from SD Card, point it at the update.zip.
It reboot and goes into the Android system recovery screen and starts to install the package. It gets to Verifying update package and stops and say:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
What am I doing wrong. Do I just have a bad file and maybe redownload it? I think I may try Andromeda Galaxy v1.0.3 next just to see if it's a file issue...
Thanks if you took the time to read this.

Boot ypur phnoe into clockwork recovery (vol. down + camera + power) then select "install zip from SDcard". then "choose zip from SDcard" then select the update.zip file.

i did use the vodoo touch... maybe i'll try the non touch one.
it seems like you guys dont have clockmod installed correctly. are you guys doing the one click method for root and clockmod? do any rooted apps work? dl rom manager from the market. use that to install the newest clockmod recovery. make sure you selet the samsung epic. use rom manger to boot into recovery? it should be green not blue
I was having a similar problem booting to cwm from rom manager. Rooted with one click 2.2.4 then one click clockwork final then installed rom manager. RM would not boot into cwm. Dled and flashed cwm from inside RM and still didn't work. I could get to it via the 3 button method. Next I flashed Mixup kernel and still had the same issue. Went back into RM and clicked DL Clockwork again and it instantly says its successful and now I can boot into cwm from RM.
Could somebody please make (or HAS somebody made) a guide that addresses the following two scenarios? I think it would go a LONG way towards encouraging others to experiment with the ROMs that are available now
1. My phone's rooted. I want to experiment and try out the available ROMs... but first, I want my phone backed up verbatim, so I can put everything back the way it was if things don't work out. What do I need to do?
2. I had fun trying out other ROMs, but for now I just want to put everything back the way it was before I started. I followed the instructions for #1. What do I need to do NOW?
Ok all this what I found was my problem. I believe it was Windows 7 64 bit. I tried to get clockworkmod running on my work machine that is windows 7 32bit and it worked like a champ. I actually decided to start from scratch and unrooted my phone, reapplied the DI07 update then rooted again, did the clockworkmod first try... then I did the last try.bat and rebooted and that seemed to work. I am doing a ROM back as I type this.
There is a good thread on it in the Epic Android Development forum called:
[TUTORIAL] Updating to DI07, Obtaining Root, and Flashing Custom Recovery [FIX]
I'd post a link, but I am a new user... and so no links in post
Hope this helps everyone.
Can someone post a link? I did use search, turned up a million (yes, I am exaggerating) threads but can't find this one.
Thanks.

Try this
should be it.
screwed up my recovery image and my rom, now I really need to reflash my recovery via fastboot so that I can get back on track, but I can't find any links anywhere! (and the ones I've found are broken)
I need a correct download link because I'm having trouble finding it
Either clockwork or ext4 will do, and it doesn't have to be uptodate either.
please and thank you!
UPDATE:
Nevermind, I found the official clockwork site.
Hi guys, I'm new to this. I followed the exact instructions from Cyanogen Wiki on how to install Clockworkmod Recovery on a stock (2.2 Froyo) Vz Fascinate using Heimdall. I got the blue bar in download mode showing that 'recovery.bin' was successfully loaded onto the phone, but then when I try to boot in it (3-button method), I get the blue (3e) Recovery (probably the stock one). So, when I try to flash CM7, I get a "file verification failed" or similar message, probably because stock recovery doesn't allow custom roms. I have no idea what to do next. I've tried flashing clockworkmod again, tried again and again...same thing (I've also tried recovery boot from ADB, same thing, I get the blue (3e) recovery). I'd appreciate any help.

I take it you dont have a windows pc or else you would of tried odin? Also next time if you would, please post your questions in the q&a section. Thx!
Thanks for the reply. I just did it with Odin following your instructions, worked flawlessly. I don't get it why it doesn't work with Heimdall (and why CM folks use Heimdall). One thing though, I didn't remove the battery at all during the process . Thanks bro.

awsome! glad you got it working.
Thanks to you bro ...listen, I know this isn't the thread, but is it still possible to root the VZ Fascinate (now with clockworkmod recovery and CM7 gingerbread), because all I've found are old instructions that don't work anymore...can you please direct me to a method that works? Thanks a lot!
CM7 is pre-rooted.

If your on cm7 your already rooted. Although If for some reason you need to root a stock rom, check out section:5 of my guide a couple threads down. If it helps ya hit the thanks button.
that's what I thought (saw in ROM manager, Super User)...cool, thanks again both of you
Hey guys I'm new to android had an iPhone for 6 years. Just got the gs4 two months ago. I rooted the phone took out bloat ware apps using titanium back up. Have a few other rooted apps. Got Interested in ROMs and kernels so did some research looked around on here to how to do it. I downloaded infamouses newest ROM. I have ROM manager and I downloaded cwm recovery through the Rom manager. When I go to back up my current ROM and everything it boots into recovery mode but it isn't cwm recovery. The emblem doesn't come up and I believe its the stock recovery. My question is how can I get the cwm recovery so I can back up my current ROM and then wipe it and install the new one. I'm new so sorry if this is easy or anything I appreciate all the help
Download goo manager and let it install twrp then just flash cwm thru twrp . Or keep twrp and remember to flash loki doki if needed.
Wait!
What firmware is your phone currently on? MDL OR MF3?
If MF3, stop now. Do not flash anything.

Okay I figured out the problems. When I hit reboot and superuser is supposed to grant root permissions an error comes up saying superuser has stopped working then goes into the stock recovery mode. The only thing I found with MDL in it was the baseband version 1337UCUAMDL
Your safe to continue flashing custom recovery on MDL Baseband

Going on the information you have given, if you are doing right and using the correct version for your phone, GooManager and TWRP should be working for you. However, if you go to the development section and look for OUDHS CWM recovery, directions are given in the OP about how to manually install that recovery. Again, directions are in that thread about how to do it. I do hope you are reading all of every post that contains something you are trying to do (in other words, if you use OUDHS, read the entire thread first). Good luck.

Hey thanks for the help. I got twsp recovery through goo manager and worked perfectly. I'm having such a bad experience trying to install this rom. I went into the recovery mode after backing up my current rom and system. I wiped everything out then went into my sd card amd installed the zip that is listed in the infamous page in the developers part. I hit install and then said I'm not rooted and would I like to install superuser. I slide the thing and then went to reboot and now has been stuck saying samsung and custom with an open love under it. Pulled the batter went back into twsp and tried to reboot and still stuck. This is all after I thought I installed the rom already and nothing changed except wiped my phone. Can anyone help

Are you installing loki doki after the rom ?
