[Q] Rom Manager not Rebooting into Recovery - Epic 4G General

I just updated from CWM purple to CWM 5.0.2.7 and installed ROM Manager.
In ROM Manger when I "Reboot into Recovery" the phone restarts, runs a script in the CWM screen (yellow on black text) and then restarts. I can 3-finger boot to CWM 5.0.2.7, however.
Any clue what is going on?
I am planning to switch to CleanGB, but would like to make sure everything is working first.
Thanks in advance.
Stock EI22 + GPS fix + root/CWM 5.0.2.7

Even if u have already installed cwm 5, u gotta install it also from the rom manager app itselt
My phone is Captivating, Fascinating, Epic and also LEGENDARY!!

OK. You would need to install a kernel that supports it.

Will CleanGB will support it?

[Q][Q]Phone not using clockwork recovery[Q][Q]

i can only boot into clockwork mod recovery using the standard 3 button method. When i use Rom manager or Root manager to go into recovery it takes me into stock android recovery, does anyone know why?
also my epic will not let me flash noobln's rom, it says the file is messed up despite downloading several time?? however I was able to flash the boss rom.
Sounds like you lost your root.
Mine does the same thing concerning using rom manager to boot into recovery. Have to manually boot into recovery. Root is fine though.

It looks like you used noobnl one click to install the CWM recovery to blm8- if you also want rom manager support you need a kernel that supports it on bml7- you can flash that via the CWM- if you search you will find a stock kernel that has CWM support along with several other roms

I don't have it flashed but the latest mixup lists rom manager support- what happens when you try to boot into recovery via rom manager- do you get an "unsigned error"?

Yep i get the unsigned error but using the manual method works. Im reading its because i used the 1 click clockwork method. I used noobnls newest final clockwork.
When i did it koushs way it would work with rom manager.

I might not be understanding your post correctly but I have both methods working - I can manually boot into CWM via three button and also get to CWM via root manager- I used noobnls final and then used it to flash koushs kernel

Sorry. I am running stock rom. Mixup kernal on top of it with rom manager support. Then have noobnls clockwork flashed on top of mixup kernel.
Last week i went back to stock. I rooted then installed the hacked clockwork then installed koushs kernel to get permanent clockwork and it worked from rom manager as well as the three button way. I then flashed mixup over koushs kernel and that's when it quit working from rom manager.
I am wondering if i can reflash koushs kernel and then mixup because before when i did it mixup didn't support clockwork. I didn't flash koushs way on my new epic.
So basically i would have done this.
Noobnls one click with rom manager and fixed su> koushs kernel> mixup kernel????

Navigate down to install update.zip and press the home button.

Goto the market download rom manager once installed open it and first option is to install clockwork recovery select SAMSUNG EPIC it will download and install the recovery for you
After it is complete I would do a backup

Delete the update.zip file from the root of your sdcard and open rom manager backup re-install clockwork recovery

I dont understand but Ill try
Mixup Supports clockwork and rom manager so using market download it and install clockwork recovery.
If you ever have to boot into either STOCK recovery or the THREE FINGER clockwork RECOVERY METHOD.
Navigate to INSTALL UPDATE.ZIP select and you will now be in the proper clockwork recovery
REMEMBER ALWAYS BACKUP

yeah Same happens to me using Switch pro widget. This new version 1.9 has the ability to reboot to recovery.. everytime I rebooted into recovery, it brought me to stock recovery. Seems like the clock work kept failing to delete the stock recovery, but if I press and hold volume down, on/off and camera it boots into clockwork recovery.

yeah apparently with the epic, they are still working out the kinks, i got Rom manager functioning correctly, but Root manager still boots into stock recovery. im guessing the devs of these apps will eventually fix this

From my limited understanding the epic has two recovery locations- one (bml8) is accessed through the 3 button push. The other (bml7) is accessed through adb reboot recovery or rom manager. Use noobnl CWM installer to install to bml8. To use rom manager (to place CWM on bml7) your kernel must support it (i.e. you have to flash to something else other than the stock kernel). hope that makes sense!
In some senses this is nice- if your rom gets messed up you can still access the recovery via the 3 button push
Also before you use rom manager for the first time make sure there is no "update.zip" on the root of your sdcard

Can't Boot Into CWM from RM

Can anyone hep?
I have tried many times to boot into recovery from RM to now avail. Cannot flash a rom or theme either...
I tried flashing CWM for another phone, then reflashing Fascinate but that didn't work either.
Thoughts? Help?
I can manually boot into CWM.
Did you flash the CWM enabling patch through Odin?
Here is the link from the two submitted guides on root CWM, etc. in development:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
You must run this patch before rom manager will install its custom recovery.

I'd guess flashing the wrong phone is what messed you up but if you can get into CWM recovery manually can't you flash roms/themes from there, or is that not working too? If it is working, then you don't really need be able to do it from Rom Manager.

sure did... going to try uninstalling RM, RE-flashing the Odin patch, then RE-installing RM.
Thank you though!

I had originally flashed the Fascinate, then by suggestion, flashed another phone and then the fascinate again... no luck.
I dont MIND booting into CWM manually, but so much easier to click and go, you know... laziness
You need to be rooted for ROM Manager to reboot the phone at all let alone into recovery. So just flashing CWM patch with Odin and then trying to have ROM Manager reboot the phone without root access isn't going to work.

Get voodoo cwm from rom manager

Ok so is there an update zip for red cwm so we can boot into it from rom manager
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Actually all you have to do is reboot into recovery via CWM and when you are sent to the green CWM go to advanced in the menu and select reboot recovery. This will take you to Red CWM.
No so if I flash something through rom manager I can use the newer cwm
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
red cwm currently only comes with the latest voodoo kernels. So the only way to get it is to flash a voodoo5 kernel with green cwm and then your recovery will be red cwm. no need with that fake flash crap koush left us with.

CWM not working

I rooted my phone. After that i downloaded rom manager and from rom mnger i went to flash clockworkmod then choosed vibrant. And then after it got installed i went to recovery reboot..then im on stock android recovery which is blue and its suppose to be green right?now thats my problem because i wnted to install my rom to axura. Any help please?

[Q] cm7 question

i just installed cm7 (Mills00013's cdma version) and was wondering if i go to the clockwork mod recovery app that was installed with it, would flashing clockworkmod recovery mess up my phone, or would it work because i heard that cm7 for xplay can use cmw recovery?
thanks in advance

Old thread, but Clockwork red is normally needed to get CM7 or MIUI started, then Clockwork Blue is installed, and you re-install the ZIP for CM7/MIUI full functional. Clockwork just replaces the stock recovery files.
You can't flash clockworkmod recovery. When you open rom manager, you'll notice that there is no available recoveries for our phones. In addition to that, there is no way for the system to flash a recovery if it wanted to because there is no actual recovery partition to overwrite for our devices. The recoveries we are blessed with using now use a kernel modification to allow recovery to boot from the boot partition, which cannot be touched except with fastboot.
