same here

The easiest way to fix this is with a OTG plug. This will let you plug in a USB drive with your new ROM on it. Your recovery should give you an option to access it.

Clockworkmod

My phone is rooted and set up correctly but I am unable to get into to the clockwork recovery at all. I have tried through either rom manager or stock recovery update.zip any ideas?

Delete the update.zip and clockworkmod folder from your SD card and uninstall Rom Manager. Do a factory reset and totally wipe your phone.
Using ODIN (PDA) flash this package to your phone. Remove battery, hold vol down key and plug in usb. Replace battery and start the flash using this file.

When the phone resets you may have to activate your phone again.
Go to App Market and re-download Rom Manager. Click Flash ClockworkMod Recovery .. Samsung Fascinate. After that click Reboot into Recovery and install from zip.
Is there any way to do it we without odin? My monitors broken so I have no computer access.

Well Rom Manager should work that way but unfortunately it doesn't. At least for me it doesn't. I have seen threads stating you can mount the update.zip and apply in stock recovery but it didn't work for me.
You have to flash it with odin first, then with rom manager. No need to factory reset our any of that... Just flash with odin first

Thanks in advanced...

I prefer cwm touch which you can get from the site. Or you can flash the button version from rommanager
Twrp does work tho, but I've read issues with restoring backups.
Booting into recovery on the device in a way is messed up. The button combo method to enter using the bootloader hangs when not connected to a PC, so there are two options on getting into recovery.
A. Connect to a PC and use bootloader
B. With a working OS, reboot to recovery using an app such as rommanager or goomanager
If you ever flash a rom that won't boot, u need to connect to a PC and boot into recovery via bootloader (button combo).

I use TWRP and had successfully restored now a couple of times. Once was a complete device replacement where I restored the TWRP restore files from my workstation.
How I do my backups to ensure I can restore from a total loss.

Ah, I was curious if this bug still existed or not.
I'd go with CWM, quite stable, easy to use, and you can flash the touch recovery, speeds it up.

Thanks, I read somewhere that if you go into system/ and rename recovery-from-boot.p to recovery-from-boot.bak, fixes the bootloop...can anyone confirm this... thank in advance

Try it. Bootloader issue still exists regardless.

I'm a TWRP guy all the way. I have never had an issue restoring a backup, and the ability to compress my nandroid is invaluable.

TWRP has definitely converted me.

I flashed Philz from inside TWRP. I would suggest following the instructions for TWRP then flashing Philz from there. I know that works.
Is it possible to flash Philz via flashify? And what is loki or lokied?

There is a step by step guide for TWRP. Philz is based on ClockworkMod Recovery.

Not that I know of. The files in the OP are flashable from an open recovery. I had flashed TWRP before I found this. I would not recommend using something like flashify. Use the step by step guide using adb to flash TWRP. After that use TWRP to flash this. The backups for this are huge so having USB OTG support Is very useful.

I think the problem is that he can't flash any zip or I would have recommended much the same thing.
Does your computer recognize your phone if connected to USB?

dunno if it works for your variant but if ya plug it in in download mode and open the lg mobile support tool then you can (on my version LG D802) go to options and upgrade recovery the pc will download a 2.13gb file and place it back on the phone in stock form then you just ioroot again and then flash a recovery again

[Q] Recovery lost?

Hello everyone! Think that I did something kinda stupid today..but not sure. I have installed cwm recovery (philz version, latest) but today I was transfering over a backup to my pc (I removed it from phone to pc), well that was what I thought..(the file was TWRP, since it was a twrp nandroid backup and I had twrp before cwm) so later, when I tried to go to recovery, I couldn't, I tried with FreeGee, but nothing happened...so does this mean that I have lost my recovery? I tried to put the files back on phone where they was but it doesn't seem like that have helped...
So any other methods to get into recovery mode? And have I lost it by deleting a twrp file containing a backup and a twrps. file on 2kb?
P.s when I look into the TWRP folder, I don't have the twrps file....is that the problem, and what is that file? Is it loki or something?
P.S 2: My phone is working fine..
Anyone?
If you're still rooted, you could install Goo Manager, which will allow you to install a recovery.

I do have root, and I am running cloudystock 1.2 (kitkat), but can I just install a recovery since I am on a stock kitkat rom? Think I have done it now.....
What ROM did you have when you first installed cwm?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
I had stock 4.2.2 rom when I first installed recovery, but I overwrited my twrp recovery and installed cwm (that too on stock 4.2.2 rom
Try installing Quick Boot (free in the Play Store.) It provides an easy way to boot into recovery. This should show whether CWM or TWRP are still on your phone.
