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

Sorry, that didn't work.
Opps didnt see the Froyo..you need a modded 3e recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423
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.

Sorry, that didn't work either. Should I just restore to the stock 2.2 on my Vibrant? If so, where would I get the Stock 2.2 Vibrant files?
How do you feel abt voodoo?? You can install one of Supercurios kernels with voodoo and it will give you CWM recovery and root

Damn...Im still half asleep.....I re-read your post...the update.zip has to stay on your internal sd... I saw you deleted it which is why CWM isn't working. ROM Manager adds to that file when installing CWM Recovery.

It is in my internal SD. It's at /update.zip It added that every time I downloaded CWM. Should I Odin back to the stock 2.2?
You can.. that way you start out fresh and eliminate the chances for errors

Sorry, I'm a noob to the Android scene, How would I restore to Stock 2.2 for Vibrant? Is there a guide or tutorial?

When you ran the script to get the recovery to 2e, did you put the phone into shell root first using super one click?

I am having the EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THIS GUY. And it's really frustrating, I have been working at getting this ****ing phone updated to some version of 2.2 for about 5 hours now.
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.
Okay, so I flash the Froyo ROM to my phone and I think I forgot to disable Voodoo... well it was hanging on the SAMSUNG splash and wouldn't ever load, so I tried to restore a previous backup using Clockwork... and now it only boots into stock recovery mode. I tried returning to stock, and now it only boots into stock recovery without even booting into CWM.
What do I do?
edit: Nevermind, I flashed CWM back in... I still can't get my phone out of stock recovery looping...
I've also tried wipe data/factory reset plus cache wipe... went into Odin and flashed the stock files using the PIT/PDA and now it still boots into manual mode... even after restoring CWM and flashing my restores.
At this point, forget about your backups. Especially if they were Voodoo backups. Flash the DJ05 or DL09 Odin stock, get the green CWM update.zip on there and then flash DL30 via CWM.
I'm not sure if I have the DL09 Odin stock... I'll have to get those and give it a try.

Yeah if you didn't back up with green cwm, probably going to have to get red back eventually, then you'll be able to restore any old back ups

Okay, I went to the Odin Restore files thread to get my restore files, so those are the ones I used. I'm not sure where to get the others, so I'll walk you through what I did.
1) Followed tutorial to return to Verizon stock.
2) Reboot phone, does not boot into anything but manual mode.
3) Flash CWM to access CWM.
4) ???
Okay, so new error. I found the stock DL09 Odin files and flashed them. Now my phone endlessly reboots with the "Wipe Data" over and over again. I need my phone working by tomorrow so that I can call my job as there's a blizzard here and I won't be able to get in.
I finally got it. I used Adryn's flash back to DI01 in order to restore my phone. Thanks anyway all.
Where did you find that stock restore for odin, I have the same issue.
im having same issue...any help would be great
I was getting this issue the other day. The only way I could fix it was as suggested... DJ05 flash with odin.
Ok, so I rooted my fascinate using super one click root, and everything worked fine. Then I downloaded ROM manager, and went through the setup, selecting Flash ClockworkmMod Recovery as the first step. It says it was successfully flashed, and is showing ClockworkMod 2.5.1.0. The problem is, when I reboot into recovery to do a system backup, It pops up and says "Install from package." Then it trys to install an update, but it's gives me an error and says "failed to verify whole-file signature... installation aborted, and does not give me a backup option. I have tried several times, and can't get it to work right. I'm trying to get it backed up so I can install a ROM. What steps might I be overlooking, and what should I try next?
Thanks,
Anthony
You need to flash CWM with Odin first. See here or here, depending on what version you're on
Check your main area of ur sdcard for the update.zip. If that is there. It may have not downloaded correctly. Another way to get cwm recovery is by flashing it through odin. I did a complete odin restore to stock DL09 this morning. Then flashed the new cwm recovery through odin. Then I installed the proper superuser/busybox zip. Once that was done. I booted up to make sure everything was good. Then, I flashed the new DL30 froyo leak. Everything went perfect. Love having froyo finally! There r a few good threads in the development area.

The update.zip was in the root of my SD card, but it was not installing when I booted into recovery mode. I'm reading through the threads now, trying to figure out how to flash odin.
Ok, I just flashed clockwork with odin, and the phone rebooted. So I'm gonna fire it back up and see what kind of progress we've made.
What are you on? DL09, DJ05, or DI01?
Looks like it worked perfectly. Allowed me full access to the backup and recovery options with no errors. Thanks for all the help. Another step closer to getting off the stock kernel and ROM.

Nevermind. I figured that part out. It's backing up now, so it looks like everything is working so far. Got DL09 Superclean running. Thanks again for all the help. I really appreciate it.

I have a similar issue where after rooting and installing clockwork mod through odin, when I try to flash clockworkmod recovery from rom manager I keep getting "An error occurred while downloading your recovery"
I see that there is no update.zip on my sd card. What can I do to resolve this?
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.

No... first of all you need the new cw that works with froyo if you plan on using it while on froyo, then you still have to follow the steps in my previous post because your still dl09. If you are on froyo why do you need cw right now?

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.

Hey all,
I RSD'd the other day and then re-rooted and re-unlocked the bootloader (yes, I now know it stays unlocked) and flashed CWM v6.0.1.4 recovery.
Now none of the custom ROMs will boot, though they install correctly in recovery. From CyanogenMod to Carbon to AOSP, it just sits on the boot animation... I've let it sit for up to half an hour.
I'm wiping data and cache, though CWM says E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/pretty-much every subfolder, but that doesn't seem like a big deal...
So what am I doing wrong, here, any ideas? It doesn't matter if I install the ROMs and GAPPS from external SD, right?
I RSD'd to 96.15.66, the one where I can unlock the bootloader, and the only ROM I can get to boot is Clean Rom (basically stock with tweaks of course).

are you mounting system first? never used CWM on this device, but in TWRP, they install just fine. I believe that most devs use TWRP (although, it should not make a difference).
Thanks for the reply, actually I have two cwm recovery images, and after the RSD I flashed the "wrong" one... After flashing the other, I was able to flash and boot just fine.

Hi Im not sure if Im having this exact issue but I have been having problem since I used Utility 1.20 and re-rooted and re-unlocked my phone. Every ROM I have tried has random reboot issue. Can you tell me exactly how you did it correctly?
Also I didnt understand the two recovery image concept. I was having safe strap before and had issue with stock partition and was using slot1 partition as daily rom. And I couldnt flash any other ROM. So I had to go back to stock with Utility 1.2 and start over. Right now Im having liquidsmooth ROM with CWM recovery. Still having those reboots.

what I would suggest doing is going into SS via the app (not via recovery once the phone boots up) and click the uninstall button.
then, return to stock as rik suggested.... then root, then install TWRP, then you'll be able to slap on whatever ROM you like.

Thats interesting. I dont see safe strap or the rom i was using with SS (energy rom). So then how can i erase SS and get a fresh start? I was assuming Matts Utility already did that for me and I was on a fresh start.
