Install ROM Manager and use that to flash CWM again. Then it should stick.

Can't get into clockwork recorvery -__-

I go to ROM Manager, download the latest recovery, go to reboot to recovery, and as the stock recovery flashes the update.zip to get into clockwork, it blanks then the "samsung" boot up screen comes up and it goes into the stock recovery. I downloaded the newest clockwork recovery dozens of times, tried flashing older versions and ROM Manager says there's an error...this started happening when I flashed the newest version onto my phone I believe. Why is this happening???

Did you also flash CWM recovery in Odin? Because you won't be able to access it without doing that. There are instructions on how to do this in the development section.

Well on rom manager, it gives me the option to flash it straight from my phone. That's how I always got clockwork but now it hasn't been working since the latest update

Use odin to flash CWM found here. Then delete rom manager and forget it exists.

There are plenty of links floating around but many of them appear to be broken. Maybe try doing a Google search? Sorry I can't be more specific/helpful.

CWM
I always lose the "red" CWM. I will use the green as long as I can. It is the only one that boots consistently.
ive gone over it here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960118 see if any of those tips help you.

Does not go into recovery

ok first off i am using my first nexus device which is the nexus 7. i have recently unlocked and rooted it so that i can flash paranoidandroid onto it. i used the google nexus 7 toolkit 4.0.0 too. so when i hold down the volume rocker buttons, i get into fast boot mode. after that i select recovery but when i do that, it goes pixelated for a sec and a dead android guy appears with a explanation mark over him. I'm assuming it already has a clockwork mod but if not can someone please help me?
Check your app drawer for cwm. If it's not there download it from the play store, once installed open it up and flash it. Or go back to your toolkit and flash it .

CWM or ROM Manager. It's also unnecessary to hold the volume keys to get the bootloader; hold power until the Google screen (maybe not necessary), at which point you just press volume down.

well i went into the toolbox and flashed clock work mod and its still doing the same thing. any ideass???
Sorry I meant download ROM manager. I stand corrected. Thank you. Once it installs try flashing cwm from there. If that doesn't work you might have to go back to stock and start over.
Hope this helps

What's the toolbox? Use ROM Manager.

Yeah it still doesn't work
Does it boot up and function normal? Are you sure you have root?
I think you should start over. Try flashing stock 4.2.1. See what happens.
I am also very new to this. I really messed mine up twice. I had to start over time and time again just to get mine working.
Reading on here a lot of people don't like these toolkits. You have to follow the directions given to you from the toolkit to perfection or they don't work. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
I can't help with adb (I'm still trying to learn)
The toolkit will work. Like I said, try flashing a stock ROM. If the toolkit let's it flash then there is no reason it won't flash cwm.
Read the directions

did you delete the recovery-from-boot.p/ file? you would have to if youre using the stock rom, or the stock recovery will replace the custom recovery every time. use root explorer or a similar root file manager to delete it.
It'd probably be best to flash a recovery image through fastboot. You can find both CWM and TWRP in the dev section.

Also I noticed that it always worked if I plugged it into a PC. I don't know weird glitch I guess.

Please be more clear... If your are already on a custom recovery and want to change for ex currently on cwm and want to change it to twrp just flash the twrp zip and reboot, done. (Though not sure as I am still confused about your question)
You just flash a new recovery using fastboot, same as you did flashing the first custom recovery

This is why you shouldn't use a toolkit as then have no idea how to do anything yourself. Learn how to use fastboot/adb and you'll be a better person for it

Multiboot + Ziddey + Kernel

Hello, Multiboot doesn't work with my usb-frive anymore since I flashed some things.
And Ziddeys recoverymod script never has been working for me yet...
Can I use a different kernel and still enable otg in TWRP? Like AK-Kernel?
Is it possible to make AK-Kernel mount my usb-drive the way ziddeys kernel does? ( don't set the Mount point under /sdcard/usb/ but /mnt/usb/ ) ?
Could someone please tell me right order to do so and when to wipe cache/dalvik or wipe my phone?
Is this order correct?
1. Install Multirom.zip in recovery
2. Flash TWRP_multirom.IMG
3.flash kernel
4 flash Ziddeys recoverymod.zip
Thanks

Hello,
Follow this:
Flash the franco.kernel r194.
Download MultiROM Manager app from Play Store.
Chceck if the app says "Kernel has kexec-hardboot patch".
In the app at section Install/update select MultiROM v18 and recovery.
Click Install.
It will reboot and install everything for you. It worked for me!
Cheers, msihp.
