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.

Problem of booting into CWM recovery mode

Hi guys,
I have raised my problem of booting into CWM recovery mode in the sticky post where instructions of getting into various recovery/download modes are shown.
I reckon it is more appropriate that I seek my help here 
I think I have successfully rooted my phone with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4. Because I can use all those goodies that require root access such as setCPU, Titanium Backup, etc.
However, I do have a problem of booting into CWM recovery mode via the button combination of VOL UP+HOME+POWER when the phone is off. Whenever I follow the button combination, I would go to the Android stock recovery mode. Even though I use the “boot into CWM recovery mode” in the CWM manager app when the phone is on, it still goes into stock recovery mode.
When I was in the stock recovery mode, I saw the followings:
---Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to ' /system/scs/VAU/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC
And in the CWM Manager app, the current kernel is “Unknown”.
Have my phone got properly rooted?
Much appreciated for your guys’ help.
Cheers

Factory reset phone via CWM and reinstall .

Hi Mate,
I can't see there is any reset function in the CWM app? There are only Backups (backup/Restore/Delete), APKs (Install APK), Updates (Flash update), Kernels (Flash kernel).
Can I just use the Flash kernel function to re-flash the CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4?
Thanks

Boot to CWM recovery and factory reset .

CMW and Infuse
How does one boot into CWM when my Infuse will not boot at all? All I get is the "Samsung" screen. I tried to upgrade my ROM and got stuck at this screen. Help, please...

[Q] Omega v20.1 - Stuck at boot

I'm trying to install Omega v20.1 (coming from v13) on my galaxy S4 I9505
These are the steps i followed:
1. Backuped phone (nadroid backup + titanium)
2. Flashed the new bootloder and modems with odin v1.85 -> I9505XXUFNA1_Bootloader_Modems.tar (PDA slot)
No auto reboot, waited 3 minutes after odin was done before reboot
3. Booted to Recovery (TWRP newest version) and flashed Omega v20.1 and then restarted phone.
The spinning logo apperas at boot and stays spinning for 15+ minutes (stuck at boot)
Any ideas on what went wrong? And how to make it work? According to all threads I've read this is a school book example on how to do it.
Plz, anyone? (nand restore and v13 is back with a 0x1 know but that was expected)

then try this way mate
Wipe current ROM
Installed STOCK LEAKED NA1 (made sure wifi etc was working after flash)
Installed/flashed latest TWRP
Flashed Omega 20.x with full wipe
Set up phone etc (again making sure wifi and everything else was OK
Optional = And for good measure then performed a no-wipe install!

I'll give it a try, thanks.
Will reply in thread and let you (and anyone else interested) know
/Jörgen

1. Full wipe
2. Install I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA.zip via TWRP
3, Error flashing zip '/external_sd/I9505XXUFNA1...........
Fail
Will try a re-download tomorrow

Hehe funny mate You need to Extract the file and I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_OXA.zip, Then you get a file called I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_HOME_OXA..tar.md 5 and flash it with odin by selecting PDA/AP , then follow the tutorial on top , Or follow this
Remember Flashing this or Omega will void your warranty.
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
- Download Odin3 v3.09
- Extract Odin .ZIP file
- Open Odin3 v3.09
- Restart phone in download mode (Press and hold Home + Power + Volume down buttons)
- Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
- Add - Add I9505XXUFNA1_I9505OXAFNA1_I9505XXUFNA1_HOME.tar.md 5 to AP
- Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
- Click start button, sit back and wait a few minutes.
- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)
- Boot into recovery mode (Home+power+vol up)
- Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)
- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!
Next step after your done flashing Stock
Again via odin pc flash the latest recovery TWRP or philz recovery Im not really sure about TWRP if they have .tar to flash ....
Wipe cache, dalvik cache data and system (Clean wipe!)
From recovery flash Omega 20.x with full wipe
Set up phone etc (again making sure wifi and everything else was OK)
Optional = And for good measure then performed a no-wipe install! Done!

That made me feel silly, thanks for straightening me up. Will try the right way

How did you install cwm?
There's only two ways to get cwm on 5360
Temp cwm
Flash this in stock recovery every time you need cwm
Perminant cwm
This is built into a custom kernel & replaces stock kernel & recovery
If you chose the later it's most likely the kernel you
flashed is not compatible with the rom/file system you are using
More information about what you are using & what you did is required
If all else fails flash stock rom via odin and start again
