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.

Help getting to DJ_Steve's Froyo

Ok it has been awhile since I have messed with my wife's Streak or since I had one (I went with the Captivate). She just got a replacement Streak from Dell and it came with the AT&T locked 1.6 on it. I have tried flashing clockwork and streakmod to it and it does not stick. What am I doing wrong? What am I missing? Please help her gripping is about to kill me.

Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112 Don't forget that you need to root before you attempt to flash.

You don't need root before flashing a custom rom. Flash streakmod recovery then use the fastboot command to reboot the phone. Make sure you hold both volume buttons as the phone reboots. If you let the phone boot normally streakmod recovery is overwritten by the stock recovery, but if you don't let it boot you can boot into streakmod and then flash your custom ROM. All of DJ Steve's ROM's are already rooted.
If you want a custom rom this is what I would do:
Since you can get 2.2 OTA, I would go ahead and upgarde to the OTA version of 2.2
Copy the ROM you want and your install.txt (if needed) to your sd card
Flash streakmod recovery
Boot into the streakmod recovery and install the ROM
You will now be rooted and have the ROM you want installed.
If you don't want a custom ROM I suggest:
you upgrade to the 2.2 OTA version (and then apply a different stock version if you want)
then root (SuperOneClick will probably work)
rename the file install-recovery.sh that is in /etc to something else to prevent the recovery from being overwritten
Flash streakmod recovery
make whatever other mods you want
If you want a version of Android beyond or different than the OTA update leave the stock recovery on the phone until you get the stock version of Android you want installed.

Marvin I tried that but it was not working, hence the reason for questioning.
Thank you for your help from both of you.

also i cant get the 2.2 ota update to go through either

what recovery do you have. You cant do a stock update with a custom recovery.

the stock recovery, that is referance in the link above.
i did "attempt" to go straight to steves's build by flashing clockwork, but it did not take (at least it did not appear to) so i started following that guide and it is NOT working.
How can I determine which recovery i am using? it "looks" like the stock one to me but maybe i am wrong

You need clockwork or streakmod recovery to flash one of dj steves roms. When you boot into recovery if you select update with the camera button and you get the dell logo with the exclamation mark in a triangle, press the power button and if a blue menu comes up then you have streakmod. I havent used clockwork as i've heard it doesnt play well with the streak, so im not sure if the steps are the same. You can search the forums for streakmod recovery and flash it if you dont have it.

ive tried using both streakmod and clockwork, but they just give me a blank screen.
does anyone know how to get to the official dell update when the update screen says none available?

are you pressing the power button after selecting option 2?? With streakmod you'll get a blank screen until you press the power button. To manually do a stock update you'll need to flash a stock recovery, then copy update.pkg to your sd card and update by selecting option 2 in recovery.

Picture gallery that shows what to expect from streakmod recovery. As usual click on the thumbs for larger images.
After selecting the #2 option at the first screen you should see a Dell logo and an exclamation point. Press the power button to get the streakmod options. If you get a blank screen wait a few seconds and try the power button

ill give that shot tonight thank you

Help - Clockworkmod Recovery

I'm trying to flash a custom rom made from romkitchen however have hit a wall. Any help pointing out a solution or where i may have gone wrong would be most appreciated. I'll outline all the steps i took, not sure if they are related to the issue or not.
I started of with froyo dtjp5 with no 3 button and 3e recovery. I started by using odin to flash the canadian bootloader fix which worked perfectly and gave me 3 button download mode. I then flashed chainfire cf-root 1.3 kernell which also worked perfectly and i know have working 2e recovery mode. I then donwloaded clockwork rom manager form the app market, and flashed the clockworkmod recover 2.5.1.2. It appeared to be successful. However when i attempt to enter recovery mode, either through the application, or through 3 button mode it, simply boots into normal 2e recovery mode rather than clockwork mod. I have tried applying the flash again but it still did not work.Untill i can boot into clockworkmod recovery i cant apply my romkitchen zip file so im kind of stuck. I must be missing something but cant figure it out, so once again any held would be much appreciated. Thanks

flash for example voodoo or speedmod kernel with odin/heimdall or kernel flasher(haven't used it often so i am not sure about kernel flasher)

Make sure CWM is set as update.zip on your sdcard - ROM Manager should actually do this for you - then in 2e recovery select flash update.zip ... the very first time it should just reboot your device (so go into recovery again), the second time it should start CWM.
Not sure why CWM is built that way.

Thanks very much

Ok so I am having a problem with cwm that i hope someone can help me with. I just flashed the latest speedmod kernel using the sgs kernel flasher app. Now when i try to reboot into recovery from cwm so that i can access the tweaks menu, the cwm options dont appear. It says i am in android sytem recovery(3e). where my only real option besides wiping the phone is to apply sdcard:update.zip, which does not work even though cwm is set as update.zip on my sd card. Any help to this noob would be appreciated.

to apply CWM from 3e recovery you need it on your sd card. it has to be named 'update.zip'
the other way to do this, is download odin version, boot into download mode, and flash.
overall process takes less than 5 mins.

Check if you really have it -> settings -> about phone.
And try to flash it using odin, that worked flawlesly for me.

The kernel definately flashed correctly. I am not sure why the update.zip isnt workingfro cwm (the signature verification keeps failing), but i am going to try odin and see what happens. I've never used it before, but i am downloading it now.

Cant install CWM to HC3.2?

So i rooted my tablet succesfull at least that was said by the brk.rootkit.ww.v6.2 script and i was able to install setcpu and titanium back up ect.
But i would like to install new ROM or kernel to support some OC and i can install CWM. When i put the zip file or extracted files in the SD card and hold down vol and power and then volum up it shows : "Booting recovery kernel image" and then there is the green android whit yellow mark. Then i just reboot and it loads to OS so how can i install CWM did i miss something or?

You are in stock recovery, you can't flash any of the zip ROM/files with stock recovery.
When you did your root, there's ususally an options to push CWM recovery afterward.

thanks , but how do i use it? do i need to make all over again or just put it in somewhere? sorry for noob questions...

[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.

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!
