I've looked everywhere and can't find this same problem. . Point me to it if I've missed it.. but I have tried flashing CWM from rom manager and I've flashed romracers.. both with the same result .. I can boot in to recovery immediately after the flash but after a roboot it boots to the "!" screen when I try to go into recovery.

Look in romracers thread and re-read his instructions for installing. It sounds like you most likely need to delete a file that causes this problem.
Sent from my MB860
Most likely need to delete "install-recovery.sh" @ /system/etc. before attempting install.
More comprehensive directions in my Noob Guide.

you're too swift, Swiftks. i came in here thinking 'i know what the solution is!!!' before even reading the thread, and BAM! you've already replied
Thanks for the input. But I can't find "install-recovery.sh". Actually I can't even find "/system/etc/." I try not to think of myself as a noob but this isn't looking good for me.

What are you using to go through your directory? Try file expert or root explorer.

My pc is what I was using but ill try that..

Alright.. I've found the file but it says it's read only when I try to delete it.. I take it you can't just simply delete it?
You have to mount the drive as r/w..if you're using root explorer its a checkbox in the top right
Got it. I saw the button but thought it was telling me it was mounted r/w. I think it's working now I've rebooted three times and I've been able to access recovery every time. Thanks!

I am new to power using with phones. I had went to install syndicate and my phone had crashed, i finally got it up and running with oden once, Tried it again, this time i can't seem to get oden to work. At one point my phone wasn't even turning on or doing anything until i had taken it to a sprint store hoping my insurance would cover it.
I can get into clockwork.
I can get into download mode.
Oden is not working.
and Installing from zip is not working.
I could really use some help with this.

If there would be something wrong with the boot, is there a way to fix this? After using odin or installing from zip it goes right back into clockwork every time.

What recovery are u using?? I would say try to really install the drivers on your computer and use Odin to go back to stock and start fresh.

He didn't install a kernel.
Hey trying to help my brother with his phone and I've never encountered this problem before.
He downloaded Rom Manager from the Market and proceeded to flash CWM.
After flashing I told him to use the "Reboot into recovery" in order to create a NANDroid back up.
His phone reboots and then gets stuck on an image of what he says is a "phone with a red exclamation mark."
I've checked with him and he says "fast boot" is off. His phone IS rooted.
Obviously this is the first time he's ever needed to use CWM.
I've never personally encountered this problem and I've rooted 10 (6 replacements for me and one for my wife, 2 for my brothers and one for their girlfriend lol.) MT4Gs and have installed custom ROMs.
If you guys have any suggestions or ideas PLEASE let me know.
Thanks a lot.
The forum search yielded some threads about turning off "fast boot" or maybe a bad flash.
I've had him reflash CWM. Still no luck.
Again, thanks for any help.
I'm assuming he's rooted right? With S-OFF? In any case, it seems that it's not sticking. One common mistake is that he might have accidentally denied the SU permissions while opening RM. So un install and re install RM and make sure you accept SU permissions.

Yeah Macky...he is rooted. I'll have him try it again. He did mention something about su.binary something or another.
I told him to update Superuser. We'll see if that helps.

Yeah try updating the latest SU and make sure he didn't deny RM. That's might be what happened. If not, try updating his CWM manually via terminal emulator, ADB or Fastboot.
Here's how to do that.
For clockwork recovery to actually work, you have to download rom manager and from within rom manager install clockwork first.
You just do not download rom manager and right away boot into recovery.

Whoa! Why don't we chill out a bit yea. I just mentioned it because some people think that just downloading rom manager and trying to boot into recovery that's how you flash the thing and get it working.
And I did read the whole thing and did read where you said rom manager got downloaded and prceeded to flash cwr. But you also stated you told your bro to press reboot into recovery. Which made me think he probably mistakenly, try booting into recovery before actually flashing it. I was just trying to cover steps to help you guys out.

What CWM are you running? And is the CleanGb build MTD or BML
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
I am on ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7
Tried downloading 4 different times
First tried flashing BML - twice
stuck on Samsung screen
nandroided back
Tried flashing MTD
stuck on Samsung screen
Tried one last time to flash BML - had to nandroid back again.
I've read a lot, a whole lot and I still cannot figure it out.
OK, try reflashing CWM 5.0.2.7 first. then do a Factory Data reset in CWM then flash the ROM right after. Don't use ROM Manager. See how that works. If you tried the MTD version then use that one. You may want to Odin back to BML with repartition checked if you want to try that one.

WinRAR is your friend. To test the integrity of a ROM zip file, open with WinRAR, click on Commands > Test archived files and it should come back with "no errors found" if it's a good download.

very helpful information. I have read a lot about people having issues with bad downloads. Nice to know you can check them like that. I have noticed in flashing various roms that I have come across some random glitches. Perhaps this could be the culprit. Thanks again.
Users should ALWAYS verify the integrity of ROM downloads using the md5 sums posted by the developer. If you download directly to your phone you can use the "properties" view in Root Explorer. If you've got it on your PC you can use the utilities found here - http://www.winmd5.com/
Not sure exactly what happened. I was using the tablet and all of a sudden the bottom three buttons disappeared as well as the top bar. The system kept getting force closes. I rebooted and it just sat in the reboot mode. I tried to recover from the system but that is not working. I cant seem to get the system to mount via usb now. I am in clockwork mod v5.8.0.2 and do not see an option. If I could mount it I could put an img file back on and get it to work. Any help would be great.

You could try to flash back the stock software to see if that helps? Look here for some help.
Are you running a custom ROM or anything else? ALSO, once you do manage to get everything fixed, I would upgrade your CWM to the most current version 6.0.1.0 by flashing this in the older (5.8.0.2) version.
Sounds like it might be permission related, you could try a 'fix permissions' in recovery

Did you download the nakasi file from the google site? You shouldn't have an issue with that. And you can update CWM using ADB, just check over in the Android Development section.

DeadCalm(Rage) has the boot logo in 2 locations. The normal place, system/media, and another, I think in system/data. Use a file explorer to find the one that's NOT in the system/media folder and just delete it. You're looking for something by the name of "bootanimation.zip."

Sorry, it took me a while to respond. I had to try to figure out if I told you correct locations. The boot animation should be in system/media, however I told you it could also be in system/data on this ROM. However, I looked around a little and I think it's actually in data/local or data/media. I saw this in another thread, but I wasn't able to check in phone because I'm running a different ROM. Delete the one in data/local and leave the other one in system/media.

Sorry, I'm a little dense sometimes, it just clicked in my head that you were talking about the image and not the animation. This needs to be flashed in recovery. There is a thread on Droidrzr.com and, I think on here, that have flashable boot images. Again, I apologize for being slow.
